in other countries. i mean what does this country. in the middle east.

and other countries elections. quote for a good cause. could be. no one likes a spoiler medlars interference especially when it comes to american elections they're hooley pure and spoiled and unsullied or they were before the russians got to them they say but judge not lest ye be judged especially when you have a fetish for getting your fingers into foreign elections when i just don't mess around other people. are only for the very good didn't do

a vine video on us former cia for a very good cause i never said the former director of the cia it's funny because and when america does it when someone else's even suspected of doing it no no no no bad bad did the russians break the rules or do something bizarre the answer is no a lot of cool said a thirty year veteran of the cia come on the cia root the book on meddling. we've been doing this kind of thing since the cia was created in one thousand forty seven we've used posters pamphlets mailers banners you name it we've planted false information for newspapers we've used what the british call king george's calorie suitcases of cash add to that assassinations coups information warfare hacking and that's just the stuff we know about this the johnson that helped

oversee the cia's exhibits he's he'd know the difference is they say when russia does it it's to destroy the woold even when they're meddling has no actual impact on the elections as even the justice department just admitted when america doesn't so the greater good the more crecy and all that you could ask of course how on earth overthrowing a democratically elected leaders such as the cia has done is helping democracy how sending billions of dollars worth of guns to gulf dictators is helping democracy but don't well the united states has been interfering in other countries elections since the one nine hundred thirty s. and in the caribbean and in latin america when i was in cia in the seventy's and eighty's in europe i would say that the that the cia and the us government

basically were interfering in elections almost every election that was taking place in europe this was just routine that the us wanted a friendly government of a certain type and was willing to do certain things to enable that to happen if we're going to claim that america has the right to interfere behind the scenes in the politics of another country. it's a little hypocritical for then america to say oh no russian intelligence has been interfering in american elections. you don't get to have it both ways. an iranian american fashion blogger has been dubbed un-american for criticizing u.s. policies she was giving a t.v. interview to talk about her book on terror on street fashion when she was suddenly asked about iran's alleged nuclear program however she kind of turned the question around asking her interviewers about her american policies in the middle east is

a snippet of the interview. let's talk about nuclear weapons ok because some of our viewers may say we cannot trust iran what are your thoughts i mean i don't think we can trust this country i mean what has this country done to the majority of the countries in the middle east you're an american. as you just heard of the host accused you of not sounding like an american when she questioned washington's foreign policy as she did speak to us about that exchange i was really shocked by by the question of the statement but also i think it also goes back to sort of the place that muslims in america are constantly put themselves in that we have to constantly prove that we're american enough to deserve respect deserve not being bombed or banned which all of which this country and other western countries are also involved in in the middle east. and then the second that we sort of criticize

the state for what they have actually done that were deemed un-american. but you also told r.t. that she's been flattered by the positive comments she's received online tweets ranging from surprise to praise for the blogger for speaking freely here's a cut again commenting on the freedom of expression on going viral. unfortunately i guess after the fact i wasn't too surprised because muslims and people of color in this country and across the west are constantly put in positions where we're constantly kind of being used both as a term as a way of sort of talking about our maybe having to respond for our government policies back abroad but then having to blindly questionably sort of allegiance to this country who might be i'm involved in violence in our country. i think that it's sort of these are sort of underlying microaggression that happen

every single day and it's not just me that has happened to i was just lucky enough that this is live and i was able to record it and then being able to share online but this happens constantly every single day all the time for any single person who is a person of color muslim that they consciously are kind of having to do with micro gresham's that are so normalized within society and so that's why one thing that i really appreciate about sort of the viral of the of this is that people are really standing up now and saying this is not normal this is not ok we shouldn't allow this from happening. the key players in the syrian peace process of discussing the prospects of a resolution. conference in moscow let's go live to walters within a culture of us standing by following the conference maybe you know the iranian and russian foreign minister is among those taking part what do they have to say. well indeed we're seeing here me interesting debates induced discussions taking place on this peace process and it is all of this taking place here in the downtown

amman school where a lot of different high ranking officials are present here to share their views on the ongoing situation in syria and now the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov said that u.s. troops must immediately shut down there is zone of kontrol in south in syria and the area. harf. do you wear your clothes you real concerned about. syria some of the crown of the u.s. is already stocks which relies on the ground. the u.s. claims that only gold and silver it's the point i still want to preserve the country's integrity but i think you know washington still crocker's words with action because right now it's actions like. the u.s. used to be the she was well the area syria's border with jordan which washington designated as they d. confliction zone under its protection host of the rug refugee camp now russia believes that this camp is

a recruiting ground for militant groups and blames the u.s. for restraint saying humanitarian access to this to that particular camp now at this point of view is the shared by the official syrian delegation which is here now i just spoke to bush saying a shabangu is a political aide to the assyrian president bashar assad now she believes that the presence of u.s. troops represent actually a challenge for restoring peace in syria and that was called war as she said that said america and americans are creating some sort of a pocket zones in the syria and using them as a recruiting stones now another key player of course in the overall ongoing peace process is that iran and we've heard some some tensions taking place now between israel and iran and these tensions have hit a new high as both the israelis prime minister and the iranian foreign minister who

was present here in moscow this day traded some really sharp warts now benjamin netanyahu said that iran represents the greatest threat and the world and war and that iran should not tast as rails result well here at this conference taking place in moscow iranian foreign minister common to the situation. is really has been widely committing acts of aggression that needs to stop. i don't look for excuses i mean this give me a draw other than that i mean these are gimmicks to look at the realities we need to stop these acts were aggression. was you can see a lot of different now a key figure is taking place at this conference today here in the downtown of moscow and we've been hearing some heated debates on the ongoing situation in syria and we'll bring you the latest as soon as we get it parties within a question of

a thank you. a dutch shipping group is facing accusations of selling a number of vessels with harmful waste to scrapyards in turkey and india adding to environmental and health problems but ultimately violating laws. six. legs. slim.

lead . leg . lifts. the case is playing out in dutch courts the prosecution is alleging the ships sold to be broken apart in india and turkey contained a number of toxic substances which should have been removed and recycled in a safe manner it also cites the alleged impact of the chemicals on recycling

workers and the environment in those countries i have to find of a breach of e.u. waste laws is being sought and if convicted shipping bosses could face up to six months in prison now for its part the company has rejected any wrongdoing the defense for the sea trade group argues the ships only qualify as waste once they reach their final destination and don't fall on the e.u. environmental rules as turkey and india are beyond its jurisdiction and lack of proper regulation in the industry is one of the problems highlighted by the ship breaking and geo platform. the trade is a dutch company and certainly in two thousand and twelve the conditions at the yards in south asia were well known to any european company so the choice the trade made was for the highest price. of higher prices because they do not pay for the proper waste management the proper infrastructure and they use migrant

workers that are not trained indeed unfortunately is a very common practice more than eighty percent of the world tonnage is currently broken on three title beaches in the world one in india one in bangladesh and one in pakistan this activity causes pollution. the groundwater there is also very dangerous for the work is they fall from heights there are explosions they will be crushed by steel plates so it's basically and then industry which is very poorly regulated so to come on the program here one ought to be a former cia agent trying to whistle blower has been released early from prison we will address the case after the break. what else will seem. like all day long just don't call. if you're going

to get to see play out just to come out again. and it gets really equals betrayed. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

good to have you with us today former cia whistleblower jeffrey sterling has been released from prison he revealed cia mismanagement of a classified program to the u.s. senate and was later sentenced under the espionage act to three and a half years studying was freed after serving over two years of that sentence however sterling was not jailed for what he actually told senators instead he was actually accused of leaking classified information he shared with the senate to a journalist in sentence was softer than the usual nineteen years minimum reportedly that was because all the evidence against him was circumstantial on a former u.s. senate candidate who petition for starting to release explains how he ended up being treated as a traitor. there are times reporter james right now with the intercept was having

about fifty conversations back and forth with jeffrey and then james risin released a book about two thousand and five called state of war in which he disclosed the cia's botched release of nuclear plans to iran even jeffrey tried to tell a senate intelligence committee about this information they tried to go after james rise and to find out who his source was just around that same time they arrested jeffrey they dropped the rise in case because obama did not want to go after a reporter because the heat was on obama in the obama administration because he was going after a journalist the judge who sentenced stoning stated that while in a perfect world every criminal case would be decided using direct evidence often that's not possible on at mentone again says that's because they had nothing but so can stand still evidence. they went and took geoffrey to court the only type of evidence that they had was circumstantial evidence and cia agents saying that it

was a disgruntled employee that released information because of his discrimination case jeffrey has maintained his innocence for almost seventeen years. the new york times which originally published the story of starlings lawsuit against the cia is not covering his release on many companies does that many journalists have simply forgotten about jeffrey stunning. journalists are never asked about are asking about jeffrey sterling or talking about it and this is a man who has become an invisible man up for batman who is in my mind a hero the a.c.l.u. with me even handled this case and so we have to reach out to other types of out which are unable to tell his story. and olympic athlete from russia has tested positive for doping at the winter olympics in south korea the court of arbitration for sport is now reviewing the case with the world anti-doping agency expected to

announce the results of a second round of tests later on monday the athlete in question is mixed doubles carla alexander crucial needs he and his wife won bronze in the young child the first olympic curling medal ever for russian athletes. has these details from young child. well right now it is all down to that second doping test and if it happens to be positive that will be a real disappointment for many people i can tell you that here and chang the crowds have literally fallen in love with the russian couple alexander crucial need ski and in this this year brazil are husband and wife they won the country its first ever olympic medal in curling and to watch their family team work on ice was something inspiring the media went on about them for a few days in a row and they were even compared with mr and mrs smith and honestly alexander

scase if he had made the same mistake or had taken the drug on purpose that would just be ridiculous when the oh they are are under such a close watch here and crucially ski has said that he believes someone could have spiked his food or drinks with mobility of in any case the international olympic committee have promised to launch a special probe but that will happen after the olympics are over in the meantime the olympic athletes from russia are getting on with their quest for medals and despite all the pressure despite some of the main stars missing out the zero eight are have secured some bronze and silver and the cross-country skiing squad who were teenagers just a year or two ago are doing particularly well with five medals so far no gold though we spoke to sports radio host alan moore who says it would have been very

unwise of the kohler in question to risk using belt on. if they take majority make it in a burst of energy burst of speed he can work hard because you're courting is a pretty olympic pretty pretty testing sport and self he will be supremely stupid to be caught for. now he has said because the risk is said that's his point of in spite of training camp and. it does seem on like he does he took it however it was a little bit of information came out overnight that his former or his coach but said that's all he has he stopped taking the dog back in two thousand sixty two when it was bad and we have to give him the benefit of the doubt we still know of the beast beast analysts as a positive we need to find out exactly what happened but again it goes back to you know it will be we said last week sitting as you say not to get caught for dope in the olympics you have to be very very silly and i don't think that christmas he is

centuries and even millennia. and your monday worldwide news headlines continue in about half an hour. from. so a new policy is and is a way to practice is they'll pressure oppressive measures being deployed against the palestinian people everywhere around the said letter colonialism the feds to follow the land and and the many many can all do the stating things then their claim is of doing of course the gun force of the intifada or uprising. when the whole may just manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the

right wing closest to protect themselves. with the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent told. to ignore middle of the room signal. to leave the room i mean real news is really low. just. thank. her for her thank her group. thank. her. for.

a batch or sudden passing i phone lee just learned you were a south and taken your last to bang turn. it up to us we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we. first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind gets consumed with death this one might differ as i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.

other while not true beauty is of course a general standard while white kids bleach plays a big role in the beauty process. they want to operate on the farm here i mean both sort of this song will need. to become a castle atavistic. because. numbers are ready for the first call of initial in out of my business is due to begin to shoot you see is very severe infection of the skin this one is going to lead to death because you have septicemia and you did it. during dhaka fashion week models spoke out against skin bleaching.

these girls dream of strutting down european country so they came for natural beauty because europe demands it but in senegal standards of beauty is somewhat different. look at these posters. no matter what that advertising. the models in them have lighter skin the ni-cads
