it's like mcdonald's they don't is like hey it's international women's day it's awesome we're going to flip the arches so what it meant men all the other day all ladies we got that one day a year we can go to mcdonald's and then you have politicians who are also just the sort of silly hypocritical because mcdonald's doesn't treat its female workers very well and they don't have a lot of maternity leave so what's maybe spend that money flipping a sign on something a little more productive that you have politicians you have someone like nancy pelosi was one of the most powerful women in the country it took her over a week or two to call a cop male colleagues who were found to have absolutely committed sexual improprieties while in office or before or after whatever so you conyers it took her what ten days to say something and she was just really didn't do a whole lot of they all hemmed and hawed over al franken because the truth is if it was a republican they want to be even stopped there was that all there's the picture it's done you're right it wasn't that way and then it was suddenly the russians that it these people that

a crazy whatever did it and the republicans are helping. this administration has put up a cavalcade of qualified women who then snipe at other women who snipe at other women and it all becomes this thing where it's ok if one side does it and it's not it's still sexism even if it happens to someone you don't like which is why i've stood up for people that women that i didn't feel great about but in that instance like there were times when kellyanne conway was was absolutely it was sexism and that's the part where women have to stand together not just when it's a presidential election and they have you know. the right name or the right person or oprah's up there and suddenly you care you have to care all the time you have to be intersectional you whereas it can't just be about white women every time it cannot be cannot be but what we're going to talk very hard as we go to break or quarters don't forget to let us know what you think of the proper to go over to their spokesperson our poll shows our dot com coming up our costar of the walls will tell us what international women's day where. the fifty states line up when it

comes to women's rights and artie's natasha spikes week has the latest startling numbers of the opioid crisis speak to washington folks. it's been almost fifty years since we've had human beings on the surface of another planetary body and i hope that we could actually put together an international lunar exploration initiative much like we have the international space station consortium and together the countries of the world cooperating with the private sector could afford to get back into real space exploration and i think that would that would create a real a lot of excitement. and

. everybody and stephen both to ask how did would guy the suspect. proud american first of all interests george bush and r.v. to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru and we're just a little bit different. no no no not with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the good that's fine every day americans. look to the store to bridge the gap this is the great american people which. is what you. would you could you listen to what i just noticed i noticed what

marianne one million people die and die in. vain even daydreams. now little ones who tooling a few bodies around them and that said. women make up fifty one percent of the united states population guess what we are the

majority but. only twenty two percent of our senate in one thousand point three percent of our house of representatives are women and twenty seventeen the me too in time's up movements emerged and quite profoundly changed the direction of the conversation around women safety in the workplace but how do women outside of hollywood and capitol hill they're in their lives while the tug teamed up with a group of women experts to examine twenty three metrics for median income to poverty the life expectancy and homicide rates gathered from the census the c.d.c. f.b.i. and more so what states are best for women and what states are failing to live up to the expectation of a quality well looks like the study found that states a vote of blue primarily in the last presidential election tend to be friendlier for women with republican red states struggling to give women a fair shot in all areas the best state for women the absolute best based on social wellbeing health and safety is minnesota the top the rankings and median earnings

life expectancy and safety and the land of a thousand lakes is that the only midwestern state to top the list north dakota and my home state of wisconsin were in the top five as well filling out the top five or top ten were northeastern states vermont and massachusetts coming in six's maine with hawaii connecticut iowa new hampshire rounding out the top ten places phillips for women because of the bottom of the list will have to go south the worst states for women are alabama. oklahoma mississippi and arkansas and at the very bottom is the great state of louisiana which ranks as the warst place for women with a score of thirty six out of one hundred so what areas decide if a place is good for women well this state has the highest median income for women are topped by state that isn't a state turns out washington d.c. the district with no representation for our taxation and does represent women in

the paycheck coming in second again is minnesota moving down the list to delaware virginia and illinois rounding out the top five states with the highest median income for women say sort of the most unequal in pay with the lowest median income for female workers are kind of a surprise well why isn't the top ten overall there dead last in median income for women california thought to be a destination of equality as in the bottom five states with montana maine and oregon struggling to provide living wages to women now poverty that's a tricky subject because the when you see that hawaii's in the fifth lowest percentage of women in poverty despite the low wages overall new hampshire maryland and connecticut bottom out the list with the last up for lowest percentage of women in poverty then it's back to the south again for those high poverty rates that you don't want arkansas kentucky louisiana new mexico and mississippi have the highest

poverty rates for women in the entire country mississippi is the works touting a pay gap in the state that gives women just seventy five cents per one dollar made by men being uninsured in the united states could also be a death sentence aciphex lee for women. those states with the lowest rates of uninsured women were massachusetts at the top washington d.c. coming in second with from ottawa in minnesota as states that have the lowest rates of uninsured women kind of explain some of the strangeness of the numbers i mean states like georgia oklahoma florida nevada alaska and then deming to texas if you're a woman you have a higher chance of being uninsured this leads to debt poverty lack of medical care or avoidance of care due to cost than we have life expectancy the world wide life expectancy of women from birth runs from eighty three in japan to fifty in ca places like sierra leone in the us women can expect to be born with

a high life expectancies in places like hawaii california minnesota again connecticut massachusetts in the because they have better health programs though again if you are in southern states like louisiana west virginia oklahoma alabama mississippi you are stuck to to live shorter poor and harder lives than women in the other states what does all this mean you know what well it means that we are doing a very good job of taking care of all the members of our society healthy women have and raise healthy babies children in homes with a strong woman who can make just as much as a man for the same work helping courage the empowerment of women and equality we can argue politics all day but maybe it's time to start thinking about making things better for the majority of americans instead of kicking the health safety and earning power of women down the road for the next script of people to deal with it's a great point those numbers are truly truly fascinating when you get into that because it does show

a lack of brother or sister over. the fifty states of the union here in the you were speakers if we can tell all of the states keep up their of the bargain especially when it comes to equality equal pay for health care things of that nature then what are we doing and then. here's the biggest one i think it really connects because when you see the place we have very uninsured that we're going to develop high amount of uninsured you see these other problems like poverty and median income get harder and harder and harder especially on women and what you're talking about is when you take it to the other side it's often the reason that these states are better even if say their median income is an extremely high but they have a great health care program that you have a lower poverty rates we've heard they're making less their standard of living is higher and they're not being brought down by these very basic problems and women's health is different they don't help with different than most people's and this is the thing you know you don't get money if you don't have women right so yes we can't be here without them you know and it's interesting to me when you see like i

was shocked when you told me today the minnesota was number one so yeah we were the top five. it's kind of like i feel great but the same time there are so many states out there that my heart out to the women that live they're going to wait a minute louisiana shouldn't be last and home in new orleans like a baby or two or a state that should not be last on the list alabama so they think about southern hospitality and things like that seeing these states on there just breaks your heart hospitality to people outside of the state when it comes to that but these are also places that have not taken federal funding for things over political issues they won't take health care or a medicare expansion because there's a political issue so those people in that state lose out on things that other states have you know simply because because of politics they don't have a chance to use and a lot of it i said is health care it's a lot of things that help with jobs and the thing is as somebody you know what we're in d.c. which rated pretty well on them pretty poorly in different areas at least you know that's the kind of thing where you got to look at every state those are your

brothers your sisters those are your sisters you have to take care of pass judgment because you disagree with their political beliefs exactly to say how can i best raise the quality of life for women in these states that didn't fare so well or even run the code or around the globe to same thing whether you name. and i know where you live and you know our raise of the quality of life even for the people that i disagree with politically there. one issue that tragically crosses all genders races and cultures here in the u.s. is addiction and no words that more apparent than the title wave opioid epidemic that is crashing across the land from sea to shining sea and even with all the political promises long winded speeches and pundit teeth gnashing on the subject little in the way of actually solving the problem within the us is actually being done on a national level this lack of real solutions comes despite the recent bindings that opioid addiction is rising in the politicians most valuable of campaign crutches

children yes over the last ten years child opioid overdoses have nearly doubled artesian artie's natasha sweet has more from los angeles. you know the opioid epidemic is bad when the acting director of the c.d.c. says we're currently seeing the highest overdose death rates ever recorded in the united states and what's worse is the childhood opioid overdoses nearly doubled in the last ten years now take a look at these numbers latest report from the c.d.c. shows there is a thirty percent increase of overdoses or cross the country in just the last fourteen months this is after the fact president trump has brought this growing epidemic into the national spotlight in fact the c.d.c. study comes just a week after the president showed support to sue opioid manufacturers back in two thousand and sixteen prescription drug overdoses killed sixty four thousand people according to the c.d.c. overdoses have increased among most age groups for men and women and in all regions

of the country this is the second year in a row where life expectancy has decreased instead of increased we are potentially on track to lose a generation and we need to make sure that we work together to tackle this epidemic and as doctors have. more restrictive in prescribing opioids the c.d.c. says fintan always terror when is now a quote very major problem right now and now a new study from the journal of pediatrics focuses on the increase of child overdoses both intentional and accidental the study examining billing records from children's hospitals found between two thousand and four and twenty fifteen there was a total of three thousand six hundred forty seven opioid related hospitalizations in thirty one different locations and in the same time the number of hospitalizations nearly doubled in the first three years there were a total of seven hundred ninety seven hospitalizations and then during the last three years there war one thousand five hundred four now the c.d.c.

is report indicated that overdoses have increased in cities and towns of all types and again the fence in all laced her when is it becoming such a danger not only to users but also it's a paramedic and police caught in the cross-fire is but no official numbers just yet on how much the use of fence will is going up after opioid prescriptions are being heavily restricted in los angeles and hospice suites. and we ended with what could be the exciting new clues in one of the most revolutionary important female lives in modern history along with the possible answer to one of the greatest mysteries of the last century researchers have discovered the bones found back in one thousand nine hundred eight on the small pacific island of new comodo might indeed belong to amelia earhart earhart of course made history as the first woman to pilot across the atlantic ocean and was aiming to be the first woman to fly around the world before her an airplane vanished over the pacific ocean in one nine hundred thirty seven after reexamining the bone measurements using cutting

edge techniques and computer programs richard jantz a professor emeritus of ever apology and director emeritus of the university of tennessee as forensic anthropology center has concluded that the bones have more similarity to amelia earhart then to ninety nine percent of other individuals in a large red. prince sample while not entirely conclusive his research now represents the closest we've come to finally knowing the final chapter and a life truly worth celebrating and remembering we remember you amelia oh most definitely and you talk about ground breaking i know you tried to make some of your knock down doors and especially you know in light of this we can celebrate international women's day you can get more international than someone who is trying to fly around the world you know i hope that this is close the chapter because it would be nice i think any kind of legend in history you want to see the final thing so you can kind of get beyond the mystery of it and really get back to celebrate the person's life right now well in just not knowing what happened i mean there's so many stories and so many things for people are trying to figure it out and that

was that was the thing is of course sort of broke everyone's heart in one thousand thirty seven like there was so much joy and love for this woman doing this even for a man like this was a national treasure she was a national treasure and not as she was some lady they called her up and when she disappeared i think that had a real serious impact on that it was this idea that we send women on plane we get it made people a little more scared you know but i think you know that's the thing where justice fairless we probably more and i'm such a reservations but well i know that your gender is a trap and all of it is just silly one over your feelings because you work alongside tyra with her and sean still. has her show prove they remember everyone in this world we are not told real love so i tell you all i love i am told them to and on top of the wall and people are watching those talks and every great thing about it everybody.

knows. one thing to stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand out in the news business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answers. question. your column say that. something is good in kosovo or bad for barcelona. all bad fall for crimea. or whatever. either the principle is

good or the principle is bad has to be applied equally and that is not being done. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to access education low its high education is becoming just another product that can be bought and sold so it is not just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you could you know most of the regime could this also kind of follow they could in. what is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now in an extremely more high education the new global economic war. this baby and. say this on march eighteenth vote with your remote to zante for special coverage of the russian

presidential election exit polls opinions real time results monitoring and much more. double trunk agrees to hold face to face talks with kim jong il set to be the first ever meeting between the leaders of the u.s. and north korea. while trump also signs an order hosing tariffs on steel an aluminum imports despite warnings of a global trade war. and several fatalities are confirmed after ten. arista shell civilians trying to escape the syrian rebel and play for at least inclusive.

this is r.t. international coming to you live from moscow on tape cartridge thank you for joining us. president trump has agreed to meet the leader of north korea kim jong un the white house has confirmed the plans saying the time and place is yet to be determined the surprise announcement was made by sas korea's national security adviser speaking after talks in the white house. north korean leader kim jong un. is committed. to do provide solutions that he expressed he said you got this. president from as soon as possible. president from appreciated both briefing and said he would meet. by made for cheap home and. we heard the announcement and now we have confirmation from the white house that

yes a meeting will take place between kim jong un and u.s. president donald trump now this would be the first meeting between the head of state of the united states and the government of north korea their head of state this is quite a surprise to many people we've heard secretary of state rex tillerson who recently said that the u.s. it was a long way away from any negotiations with north korea and furthermore we've seen that the united states recently impose new sanctions on the country now there's also been quite a heated exchange and war of words between the two leaders in recent months. year of strategic patience. with the north korean regime has failed. to make anyone. think. they will be met with fire

during. the us neglects the international community's will to stop this peace on the korean peninsula. and we can have. out there shooting rockets all over the place where they have no choice but to totally destroy north korea's. rocket man is on a suicide mission so no one of. these in the suicide. these is sick. donald trump has said that the sanctions recently placed on north korea will remain in place until any agreement is reached and pointed out that in the lead up to the

meeting north korea has agreed to freeze any ballistic missile testing any nuclear testing a proliferation so at this point other seems to be a free is in north korea in anticipation of a meeting and now we have understood that this meeting will take place before may and the location and time are yet to be announced all eyes are watching it donald trump is certainly known for being unpredictable and as it appears that now the first meeting between a leader of north korea and a leader of the united states is a pending to take place that. one of the a president trump also signed an order imposing tariffs on steel and on the minium imported into america but in a concession to the country's neighbors the tax will not apply to canada or mexico . today i'm defending america's national security by placing tariffs on foreign imports of steel and aluminum the american steel minimum destry has been ravaged by aggressive foreign trade practices. it's really an

assault on our country despite domestic and international backlash trump has signed a proclamation imposing twenty five percent tariffs on steel imports and ten percent tariffs on minium imports encouraging companies to buy american well the president argues that protecting these industries will guarantee economic and national security however trump has offered relief to some u.s. allies the tariffs will not apply to imports from canada and mexico at least temporarily until a nafta or the north american free trade agreement is negotiated even though trump has received some domestic applause from unions in particular that wasn't the case internationally when he first announced these new tariffs on twitter the world was furious.

which you should you're. choosing a trade war is surely the wrong prescription for china will certainly make it appropriate and necessary response we will defend our interests if we need to come . i'm convinced that increased terrorists will hurt us all in the long run trade will stop and easy. will trump has stated in the past that he sees nothing wrong with trade wars and now other allies are threatening tariffs on u.s. imports of peanuts juice alcohol etc but trump's move has been met with domestic backlash as well from both democrats and republicans who believe that protectionism harms national security now more than a hundred house republican members signed a letter on wednesday expressing deep concern about the plan suggesting to change the course of action q. quote avoid untended negative consequences to the u.s.

. anomie and its workers but considering that canada and mexico have been exempt one can't help but wonder if these tariffs are intended to china trump has listed trying to as a threat to national security and he's repeatedly expressed the need to counter china so we can't be too sure but it'll definitely be interesting to see how china the e.u. and other u.s. allies react. want unveiling his new tariffs president trump invited metal industry workers for a group photo in the oval office but he appeared to have forgotten an important detail would you like to take a picture in the oval office i assume you've all been many times into the oval office come on let's go and do that let's go and do this yes i'm going to give we'll go into the oval office we're going to sign this will go into the oval office we have a picture ok ok thank you. well treasury secretary steve munition that was reminding the president that he hadn't yet signed the order the plan was received broad

support from still and i mean me i'm firms in the u.s. . an economist jeffrey tucker says the new terrorist could force key u.s. allies to seek new trade partners. so it seems as if every european nation is is washing their hands of the u.s. we're no longer trustworthy trade partners in light of this and so europe is seeking other allies china canada australia you know anywhere in the world the us and this is been growing for some months is that i say is becoming isolated and i go and the global economy let's not make any mistake about this in the twenty first century there's no such thing as as as nations when it comes to economic affairs anymore we all must cooperate together and the u.s. is excluding itself and giving up its credibility but trumpets doing here it's

contrary to the national interest and contrary to the good of the global economy. militants have shelled a refugee convoy trying to leave the syrian rebel on play vivi's to get into the russian defense ministry has confirmed that several civilians were killed in the assault against if reports. according to the russian military the three hundred families had allegedly gathered together to leave eastern ghouta crossing the frontlines is always dangerous so it's best done when there's a safe window with the agreement of both deliverance the syrian government was waiting for them the rebels this he knew what was going on and shelled them they reportedly shelled the procession of civilians i mean a kilometer before they were out of east ghouta and then to top it all off they shelled the relatives and journalists waiting on the syrian side at the end of the

corridor nothing's changed they aren't allowing civilians to leave just like the islam islam is brother and did in aleppo. and then. that started to you know. never stay here it wouldn't have a. vision. what they said about even any is actually in some sour city kind of thing. yet here in washington tell it you don't mention that they think it's joke like russia has called for these jokes like humanitarian corridors russia needs to just do what the united nations had agreed to and voted on and that is a countrywide ceasefire fleeing civilians would mean less human shields it would be a p.r. blow people don't want to stay with the rebels they'll talk.
