mr aisha's 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 is 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 care cannot be cannot be about white women every time very hard to get a break or quaters don't forget to let us know what you think of a proper true cover of this booklet or see our poll shows that our dot com coming up marcos tabitha wallace will tell us on international women's day where the fifty states line up when it comes to women's rights and our trees in the toughest light sweet cows the latest startling numbers of the opioid crisis state to washington.

the rebuttal and stephen both. hollywood guys you expect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush in our view to say this is my buddy famous financial guru just a little bit different i'm not. going to go into windows with all the drama happening in our country i'm rude have fun every day americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american. you do believe in. in the realm of education the right to education being

supplanted by the right to. education. higher education is becoming. not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you. want is the place of students in this business model. education the global economic war. is a global trade war imminent if donald trump follows through on increasing tariffs and ending existing trade deals it seems very likely after all this was at the very center of his campaign for the presidency it was a promise he made to his base make america great again.

much thank you. thank you. was. such. a help. 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 fair 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 tops 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 to get to 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 no 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 pacifically for women in those states with the lowest rates of uninsured women were massachusetts at the top washington d.c. coming in second with for mott hawaii and minnesota as states that have the lowest rates of uninsured women kind of explain some of the strangeness in the numbers but in states like georgia oklahoma florida nevada alaska and then dems of 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 wee west 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 aren't 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 for 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 interview with speakers and if we can tell all of the states keep up their of the bargain especially when it comes to. equality equal pay health care things of that nature then what are we doing and the health care is the biggest one i think it really connects because when you see the place is very very uninsured 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 were 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 there going what wait a minute louisiana shouldn't be last and home in new orleans like a baby to a state that should not be last on the list alabama something you 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 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 we were in d.c. which rated pretty well on them pretty poorly in different areas really you know

that's the kind of thing where you got to look at every state those are your brothers their sisters those are your sisters you have to take care of pass judgment because you disagree with their political beliefs in fact to say how can i best raise the quality of life. well women in these states that didn't fare so well or even run the code or around the globe do same same thing whether you name the matter where you live and you know our raise of the quality of life even for the people that i disagree with politically that's. one issue that tragically crosses all genders races and cultures here in the u.s. is addiction and no words that more apparent than in 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 findings 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 double 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 across 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 and 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 become 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 a billion 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 to occur medics and police caught in the cross-fire is 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 nikko morrow 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 apology and director emeritus of the university of tennessee as forensic anthropology center has concluded that the bones have more so. celerity to amelia earhart then to ninety nine percent of other individuals in a large reference 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 week i'm celebrating international women's day you can't 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 legenda 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 a person's life right yeah well i'm 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 a part of 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 i mean i'm such a reservations but well i know that your gender is a trap but all of it is just silly one over your feelings because you work alongside tire over the stove. so pretty they remember everyone in this world we are not told real love so i tell you all i love i am tired of them and on top of the wall and people are watching those talks and i have a great thing about it but i.

that is not the. total trump slaps tariffs on imported steel and on a minium raising fears of a global trade with other world powers bowing to retaliate also to come this hour on r.t. us and it is a calling for dialogue with moscow after president putin recently revealed russia's latest nuclear weapons and fifteen humanitarian vehicles reached the rebel held syrian enclave. day after shelling by terrorists killed civilians trying to flee the district. welcome at four pm here in moscow you're watching international now our top story

this hour president trump has signed an order imposing tiresome steel and alimony and imported to the us today i'm defending america's national security by placing tariffs on foreign imports of steel and aluminum the american steel loman image astri has been ravaged by aggressive foreign trade practices. it's really an assault on our country one unveiling when i'm bailing the terrorists at the white house there the president did seem to forget one 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 into the yes i'm going to we'll go into the oval office we're going to we're going to the oval office we have a picture of ok thank you. george your secretary there. reminding trump that he did need to sign the order first before saying cheese the tariff plans received broad

support from steel and aluminum firms in the u.s. the need terrorists will come into play in about fifteen days and will oblige exporters to pay an extra twenty five percent for steel and ten percent for the minium shipped to the united states in a concession to america's neighbors the tax will not apply to canada or mexico is trade pact negotiations continue the move has been widely criticised around the world as peter oliver explains the steel in our many an industry all around the world very unhappy about donald trump signing what they see is well what really years his protectionist policies when it comes to the imports of steel and what they're saying though is that this won't just directly affect those companies that export to the u.s. it also have a knock on effect across the whole of the steel in business all around the world as competition to offload that product increases as you can imagine and as i said some very unhappy people all around the globe right now you should choose your choosing

a trued war is surely the room risk groups who will certainly make appropriate and necessary trade rules are bad and easy to lose i'm convinced the increased terrorists will hurt us all the long run as the wrong way to go about it protectionism tariffs never really work it will defend our interests if needs come . what we have heard though from here in europe from the e.u. was that if you do this to our steel around a million well we'll put a levy or peanut butter on borgen whiskey on harley davidsons on levi jeans however following the announcement that both canada and mexico would be exempt now the words coming out of brussels that we're hearing is one of our exemption be a fence we're allies we work together we cannot possibly be a threat to national security in the u.s. so we are counting on being excluded the e.u. has said that should they not get this exemption well they'll be taking it to the

world trade organization and they're really not going to be happy and they're going to see quite no outcry i would imagine coming from here in europe from steel producers and al a million produces an all of that coming together could well cause quite a bit of tension between some nato allies as well another need to soften insanities a washington to engage in urgent dialogue with moscow to minimize the risk of conflict they have written a letter to the u.s. secretary of state to listen to his part of it. a u.s. russia strategic dialogue. following president putin's public address on march the first when he referred to several new nuclear weapons russia was reportedly developing including a cruise missile and the nuclear underwater drone which are not currently limited by the new start treaty and would be destabilizing if deployed what really does feel like putin's addressed earlier this month did prompt this and really hit its target of getting the west attention and while this letter is directed at the

secretary of state rex tillerson it urges him to begin strategic talks with russia without delay and within it there's also contain warnings and accusations towards russia the allegation that russia is in violation of the i.n.f. treaty is repeated it within there which of course russia has repeatedly denied and they're also calls to extend existing arms treaties with moscow to cover the new weapons that putin's referenced in his address at the beginning of march so clearly the u.s. is worried but the fact is russia has been alarmed by certain actions being taken by the west and by america in particular for quite some time now not least of which being you know washington's expanding deployment of missile defense systems they have them in alaska they have them in california there's of course also nato is continuous expansion into eastern europe they have that in romania and poland as well with future plans in other parts of the world and what have may have been the

straw to break the camel's back here in the situation was an early february we saw the us release their nuclear posture review and within that it widened the gamut of scenarios where a nuclear response could be considered and that includes in response to a non-nuclear attack so rather frightening idea there and all that has been concerning russia for some time the balance of power in the world or the lack thereof maybe i should say and putin himself said on march first that maybe the world. listen to those concerns now and i mean. the russia is a major nuclear power basically nobody wanted to talk to us nobody listened to us so listen to us now so listen to us now says the russian president and apparently there are a lot of things now to be listening to yes what he announced i mean these weapons are nothing to shake a stick at there's the super heavy i.c.b.m.

that's a massive missile that putin says is capable of defeating any defense system in the world there's a cruise missile with an unlimited range and that's among laser weapons and an underwater nucular drone so quite a bit there and the senators say that due to putin's announcement of these weapons it's more important than ever to come to the table and talk with russia in order to avoid conflict even at the height of cold war tensions the united states and the soviet union were able to engage on matters of strategic stability leaders from both countries believed as we should today that the incredible destructive force of nuclear weapons is reason enough to make any and efforts to lessen the chance that they can never be used again and that idea of strategic stability really seems to be on the same page with putin's thinking because after his speech on march the first there was a lot of uproar that this is a threat to the world security and whatnot but the russian president himself said that was not the goal that russia has no plans of attacking anyone it's purely

defensive and that it's in fact to try and preserve peace in the world so right now we have course have seen that u.s. russia relations have really hit an all time low and moscow has already responded this responded to this letter saying that before anything can be discussed any new treaties can be discussed and whatnot that really does need to get fixed so that's of the first forefront right now. ok let's get the thoughts now he's an independent political commentator and joins us good afternoon. what are your thoughts on this then i mean russia says in principle it's open to dialogue with the u.s. but do you think any meeting will actually happen given all these sort of hysterical anti russian rhetoric we're hearing. well you're right to mention that in fact the americans started it to obama first and then confirmed they would look at their nuclear arsenal and modernize it so you shouldn't be astonished that the president putin or forest of march also produced

a series of new developments that are not in the start treaty so it is dangerous it got become an arms race but the four senators the four about a concert of this one they asked mr thomasson to stop talking are not very diplomatic are they in their letters to to rex tillerson they mentioned effect that russia is trying to destabilize syria while russia is the friend of the syrian government of the assad regime for the last sixty five years or so so do you medic and so are meddling into syria not the russians it's the same for ukraine for example they mention ukraine as a country has been invaded by russia this is not language that should be used if you want to start talking with the other party so it is regrettable that these four senators all democrats by the way to mrs feinstein was very much left you know from san francisco and bernie sanders the next candidate for the

presidential elections from vermont also very much left we produced the script but i'm sure that many republicans think the same in ask tillerson and the president to start talking with the russian president on these issues with the with the russians on issues of nuclear armament to try to have a new start negotiation on that would be the best thing to happen now and lead to even have talks don't happen as a result of this do you think at least it appears that washington is taking more security concerns much more seriously now. well they should they should end us here in europe here from brussels seen from brussels we feel it's even more important because if anything happens it will be probably in europe so we are very hopeful that america will start talking seriously with russia and stop being the russian.
