he says count of the greenpeace canada's mike who damon chimed in stating british colombians desire to protect clean water safeguard the environment and stand behind indigenous communities cannot be ignored or swept under the rug i wish we could you know the same could be said for canada's neighbors to the south that you good old us of they found out even more bad news about their much beloved keystone pipeline i'm sure you have heard of it according to trans canada the south dakota league back in november was actually much bigger than the five thousand barrels they told us that was the leak actually came in around nine thousand seven hundred barrels. you know what i think it's time to break out the milkshakes and straws so i can drink your milk shake and start watching the hawks. get the. real deal with. the bottom.

like you know what i got. this. week so. well they're going to watch for the hearts of all of them and i'm having a lot less and ninety seven hundred fair warning a shock of oil company lied about how much oil leaked out of a pipeline that activists protested for months that they were worried about only leaking out of the pipeline and i know you really sell in your case fair or just probably why at some point you have the this oil company in canada going you know what it's not at some point it's not worth the effort and guess what people don't like pipelines they don't like them they don't like when they go through their yard no no and that's the biggest fear right now look we are in

a transition mary period of history we're transitioning out of the old in the you know dinosaur dead dinosaur way of doing energy right and into the new and this is what you see happen and i was so happy to hear this good news like i said there's a lot of bad news in the world today so i was actually happy to get the story down the pipeline yes and hear this and one of the things that interesting is that it's still all profits at the end of the day and profits is what drove this pipeline in the first place was the inability to get to oil ports oil to ports for export means that canadian crude has been trading at a discount of up to twenty five dollars a barrel this year costing alberta's heavy oil producers about thirty million to. forty million canadian dollars in revenue per day that's a lot of money that's why there was so much corporate and government push from ottawa to want to make this thing happen but the activists stopped up and they joined with politicians and militia which is how it's supposed to work you know

activists are supposed to be able to take that message you know grassroots message from the streets and bring it into the open into the media or so politicians and in this case this was when activism and politicians actually mean and they really it actually makes a difference the british columbia premier john harkin had said it a statement on sunday that. the federal process failed to consider b c's interests and the risk to our province we believe we need to grow the economy while protecting the environment and i think this is where you're going to see wins is what activism is using common sense and using really understanding the process they're trying to change and when you walk in and say we can win both ways businesses can win and the environment can win because ultimately at the end of the day if that environment's not there if people can't live there you won't have a company you won't have anything in the world you can really make money right and i think we're going to win the consumers are old dead because the years old and

their waters running to fix with oil they're dying left and right now it's going to buy it right but i think it's interesting because this is one of those things where you know today i was a pretty face yes yes lovely a pretty face but at the end of the day he's another one of these progressive pretty faces that is out saying i believe in progressive causes i believe in immigration i believe in women's rights i believe in these things i don't doubt that he does he has a problem it seems and politicians here in the u.s. have the same problem that they do not respect indigenous land in a ditch and its people and they do not respect the fact that a large majority of people do not want big ugly nasty oil pipelines go in through there are going under their land and you know that's. all of those dangerous politicians because those are the ones who might tell you on t.v.'s really thing you want to hear they'll tell you in the campaign trail everything you want to hear but at the end of the day do they actually follow through and when you see something like this where he's putting clearly economics over you know the safety

of the environment and the safety of the people of the british columbia that's where you get the problems come in i mean you know it's interesting to me that like if kinda morgan the oil company infrastructure builds a pipeline if they can see the people across canada don't want our listener choosing indigenous rights in clean water and a safe climate over a pipeline why can't just go see the same thing that to me is the question of the day ladies and gentlemen i'll follow the money makes it who gives it who donates to see it every time it's really i mean honestly. i'm tired of this i am tired of the good looking politician who tells people what they want to hear and then does the exact opposite i don't think we're i don't think that the trudeau's in the obama's yes i said obama too and all of them are going to go away anytime soon i just wish that once could we have a good looking politician who actually speaks the truth whose name doesn't end with . the most convenient of chemical attacks over the weekend moving

the united states from an exit strategy to a bombing strategy tensions have been rising between all the nations currently involved in the ongoing global political quagmire a battleground in syria from a kited to isis to the united states to russia to israel turkey and around all the way back to bashar al assad the president of syria there is a lot of players a lot of violence and very little idea of what exactly is going to happen next and why r.t. correspondent dan cohen has the latest on the potential global background that is taking shape again in the war torn country of syria so far there have been many allegations but few if any facts have been established about what happened in duma on saturday that hasn't stopped u.s. officials from declaring a side response of. for the alleged attack and threatening military action i could hold up pictures of babies lying dead next to their mothers brothers and sisters toddlers and infant still in diapers all lying together dead who

does this. only a monster does this. the o.p.c. the abuse announcement comes after the russian and syrian government's called for an investigation we've gone to the organizations to the precipitation of chemical weapons experts to visit the sites and we will work hard to make this visit happen we cannot blindly believe in the results of investigations achieved from a distance. russia for its part has conducted its own investigation that found no evidence or even testimony to support the allegations of a chemical attack. in interviews no single president confirmed the chemical attacks have been say complaints buddies of people killed by chemical agents have not been found and chemical and residents have no information about the potential is there for the use of sarin including has not been confirmed the russian military said it would provide security for the team of investigators in april twenty seventh o.p.c.

w. experts were unable to visit the site of an alleged chemical attack and conch akun a village an al qaeda controlled province the trumpet ministration blamed us from the shire air base secretary of defense jim matheson later admitted the us had no evidence of a serin attack and instead relied on reports from the battlefield monday president trump spoke with british prime minister theresa may and french president emmanuel mccrone about air strikes in syria saudi arabia and israel both of which have supported extremist groups in syria have also made statements in support of military action in washington dan cohen r t. m yeah this sort of keeps going. on and on and on and we've watched this for five plus years now watching this whole thing sort of. build and build and build build and what's interesting now and was was brought up by a colleague of ours is is this idea that right now everyone is just talking about

the when the where the what us is going to make it happen and the one thing well i think isn't being talked about is this idea that what happens if these u.s. are not down you know it's claimed that the syrian air defenses said that they got six or five of eight missiles that were. by israel just a few nights ago a few nights ago so if they can knock out five of eight of those and they weren't expecting those they know things are coming what happens like. where does the world go if the u.s. can't successfully isn't successful in its own potential retaliation. if you know after the world is convenient chemical weapon attack can be prevented yeah convenient it doesn't agree now westering no i don't it's what raytheon thought what happens to the stock of those companies what happens to the belief in this idea because this or a military is so strong in the strongest in the world is predicated on the

manufacturing capabilities of our military industrial complex not in our fighting men and women it's about this equipment and it's the equipment can easily be knocked out of the sky one another and much that's the i know and then there's the lead to zero and now we have to bomb harder now we have to go bomb those sites that took the missiles out and then does that start that domino effect that then suddenly you have you know i don't know how many countries are now involved in this thing and that's the big scary part about syria that everyone's kind of worried about that nobody in like mainstream media wants to mention for some reason is that you have i mean you have syria united states russia turkey iran israel saudi arabia france britain germany i mean that's just off the top of my head of like who i can think of is like all. they have stakes in the outcome of syria no one's quite been able to explain to me why all these countries care about what happens to syria so much all of a sudden given the amount of other terrible things happening in the world but you

know that raises the question are we staring down the potential scenario for world war three if something bad happens if let's say a rocket gets shot out of a sky us gets egg on their face or if the rocket takes out a bunch of russian military or there are so many ifs and or certain you know and this is the thing where we're not waiting for evidence we're not doing anything on a proper channel and it's we're you know when we saw it in the u.k. where you have a government jumping out and making statements before they have information which then makes other politicians and other government employees look stupid and untrustworthy because then they have to. turn around and say oh right that was wrong and in this situation it's much like ukraine you know it's like you creamed to syria gaza wherever it is what you're seeing is there's a lot of people who are calling themselves activists. and then you have the warmongers and they're both gearing up right now to prove each other's side is more righteous that their side is more bright and now what you're saying is today it's

the hot button topic of the day but what what gets lost in these wars on these kinds of things is that everybody's arguing about who's right and who's wrong and quite frankly at the end of that discussion you're still dropping a bomb or some murdering people innocent and there's other people around the world as well that are equally their lives are equally important in those other conflicts in the world are equally important to the syrias. of these other areas that really are apparent more about you know you know it's easy to get wrapped up in the cause of i want to drop bombs and know you better drop bombs if you did that right eleven and everybody got really comfortable really quickly with the idea we show you know wherever it is and now look where we are now so i just ask people to take a second and really think about it before you start calling for a great point all right as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover to facebook and twitter see our full shows at r t v dot com coming up we talk respectability politics race and the rise of hip hop stars hardy the author of educator speak to the watchers.

welcome to maximize their financial survival. looking forward that's the. young this is what happens to pensions in britain delegates. watched as a report. this is says harlan kentucky. the role of this group the voices of the street families leave. a co money switch it was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the goal was to show. that it was love to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their own eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger

that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in the million years i would see that and it's how it's happened. there's strong pressure by the security company that's by the pentagon and by the media on don't donald trump to do something about it seated probably at some stage she might give in to his pressure but i don't think it is his intention what i consider more likely another u.s. military attack on syria is the united states policy bill deep to wreck any ethic by the russians to extend your lenience to find a political solution. to

. both of you is on the dark was born in the bronx in one thousand nine hundred two making or about six years old when more unhealthy doowop that thing from the album this educational floor and hell became the first solo rap female raps a goal to reach number one on the billboard hot one hundred charts and in april of twenty eight buckley is now more commonly. known as party b. had yellow reached number one a first for a female rapper since phil bowed out yellow went on to be certified a five times while two platinum hit in addition to these first album invasion of privacy was certified gold the same day it was released and this still climbing the charts she's also the first rapper to have her first three billboard hot one hundred entries in the top ten simultaneously carty b. is the most unlikely of stars she's known for her past as an exotic dancer a career she took up to get out of an abusive relationship

a choice she credits as saving her life she's been open and honest about her plastic surgery and the insecurities about her body that letter to get them she isn't the kind of woman who's supposed to make it as a fashion stylist the speaker of the cold wrote on facebook carty reminds me of the people you least expect to succeed the way she got to the top might not suit the likings of everyone but no one can deny her ability to seize every opportunity given to her however in the midst of her groundbreaking achievements we see an ugly pattern and the haters have been going hard hard to be and yet now as main seem extreme acceptance is coming fast for the bronx rapper suddenly love is showing and as the watkins put it first so on why would we wait for big corporations to define hip hop especially when many of the genres most talented creators and trendsetters like already come from the bottom and here to talk about how respectability politics and race fit into the rise and rise of artists like r.t. as a writer educator and speaker do you walk and thank you for joining us how you doing do you know it's a pleasure i want to start and this is interesting story that came out of the kind

of rise of quarter i never thought i'd be talking about the rise of the you know this this woman and her talent and all that is a machine when you see culture reacting to it that's what really got me there in the more than pornography group the national center on sexual exploitation basically kind of brow beat me household wal-mart the retailer so much of the they remove the cosmopolitan cover that she. and you know from stands at the front of the store there to put in the back citing them as sexually exploitive influences but what's interesting to me is the cut they didn't seem to care about the cosmo cover had like you know this is a star mandy moore or big bang theory is kelly kuko showing more skin than carty be did and you know and that is ridiculous to me so deep rap and hip hop have always been like you know something scary to white america but yet they buy it and eat it

up all the time. you know and the whole fear is what it's going to turn like the nice white kids of america you know gangsters or some horrible terrible cliche or you know. where does that come from and what effect does that actually have in the black community when you see this kind of reaction so the funny thing for me is why would you get excited about moving someone from you know a wal-mart right but no one's excited about moving thomas jefferson off of money right now i think i like to hear more of a negative impact on people but you know i think anyone who is already is that's the definition of being an american this is an american story this is what this country promotes a person from the bottom doing what it takes to get to the top and she did it in the legal way and she used the tools that was in front of her and she's creating music that i connect that's connecting people from all over the world so people and i just don't understand i'm in

a kind of i don't. it was so strange to me because you did see this thing where i'm looking at you know even if you know outlets that are usually very pro-war men or you know things like root and i'm saying like carnie it's trashing if you think you like or you're trash too and i'm like yeah and like i was someone who was always called white trash growing up because you come from the wrong side of the tracks there's this idea that oh you're well spoken even though you came from. the country came from a thing and i found that that is one thing that intersects with our experience is that if you come from the wrong place or you're not you know you're not classy enough and one of those things i noticed was in part of the g q interview. where and they of course signed a female writer to do this but the female writer spent the first three paragraphs just in specific detail about bodies. then she this writer lets everyone know that. actually knows

a lot about presidents in american history and actually knew something about the social security system that the writer didn't which is fascinating so she was fastened more need only words as person and the for the only reaction the next sentence after this you know did you know the writer admits i didn't know that thoughts were so security came from f.d.r. and the first thing she talks about was she was she goes on to say her baby doll features big eyes round face minimal chin the minute this white girl saw this girl knew more than she did about history and it seemed so crazy. is this this is part of that sort of fetishization of black women by both men and women this fed a situation and this idea that oh my gosh she can read she knows third because she knows the words work in church. well he drives me crazy and i have how do we fix that how do we deal since this film was even more scary is that i read the woman's biracial grow up in

a black neighborhood so she's influenced by black culture the bigger problem is that you can be a person who looks black and identifies as black but still subscribe to the same degree system or the same ideas that suppress black people who don't have the luxury of coming from the black elite that's the problem if i can sit down with them people and they always look at me like i'm crazy but if i could sit down with them i would straight up see cutty be to me is as important as billie holiday only into someone she is telling stories that is getting a whole lot of people excited and having fun and delivering truisms that some best and most celebrated artists have done right you'll never get there because you know from that experience you look down on that experience so you really shouldn't have the luxury of documenting that experience if you don't like it you probably don't get it you know so i just kind of it gets difficult for me. to even read a lot of these articles and think pieces about people who think they can speak on

comedy but you know when i when i first when i first heard a comedy be i was like yo this is she's like the woman i grew up around she is how old are you she's funny but at same time she's smart and she's always on the right side of every issue early we talked about. how she addressed mental health in some of the shootings going on she stood up for cabinet she's all in the rice out of these issues because you can't accept what a message comes from has nothing to do with the messenger this is something wrong with you right and i think that's the thing is that especially for women you know if you're eight and i think it's two things for women if you did any kind of sex work if you were a stripper legal or otherwise it doesn't matter and it guys i think if it if you ever again any unlike anything that was remotely even close to illegal you know sell drugs or whatever you get charged. for that because that's part of your past you know jay z. is to tommy lair and is always the drug dealer you know and party b. is the stripper and what's funny is that here she you know she just announced that she's pregnant this last weekend and one of the things that she she pointed out is

that she said it really bothers me and disgust me because i see a lot of women online like oh i feel sorry for you your career is over and it's like why can't i have both as a woman why can't i have both why do i got to choose a career or a baby and she went on to say i'm a millionaire i'm fine i got my stuff covered i'm good and i think that's the dating women the same women the same women that you would i grew up around these tough women who took the jobs who work seven days a week who hostile because they want to own kids they didn't have a choice between having a job and having a baby they had how do you think that's maybe it's a class issue is that some people just don't understand that class of. oh i mean i think i think yeah i think it's a total classes because it to me it also plays into the fact of like look this is not someone that we like representing success right and if they can be successful as a parent despite what like what don't like when she says this curse word or something like that then she's a success as

a parent and the success you know the capitalism that america celebrates that's that's a dangerous combination and to me that also plays into that kind of you know the swiftboating of card to be if you will where you know you're there also attacking this person and this is an arm of the biggest car to be fair and like i mean i think she's a good rapper compared to what's out there i don't know but i do respect her journey. but i do respect the drug and you know i suspect what she's doing immensely right but what i hate is ok we're going to have like we'll celebrate taylor swift success all day long oh look a much money she made every hip blah blah blah even though it's the same damn song about breaking up with somebody right but we're going to but we're going to the end of the day you know push carted down and push her artistic ability does that to me is a parkers and that idea that it's an attack to. callen a little she only got the gold record because there's a technicality and yet technically she sold a heck of a lot of albums so if she was a man she would be celebrated exactly as she was on card debt if she did she would have her own action figure. so they had to give her

a hard way to go to make themselves feel better about their own. that is just who they are no use as an elder because i think the thing that we always talk about is there is this thing especially when men or if you're you know from the wrong side of the tracks whether that means you're a woman you're black you're poor whatever your event or you know you're from the wrong track you can i do the thing there's three things are never a good girls never are supposed to talk about sex power and money. you know a bad girls always good sex power and money and what does everybody want our money no good for her and she's a credible incredible talent and d always a pleasure having you on the to talk about this wonderful issues with us. now says junior program arrived at the planet and jupiter's or bed in july of two thousand and six eight since then the probe has the distinction of being the most distant solar powered craft ever and it needs that power to collect data on the hydrogen and helium planet often acts more like

a star and the data we have is from the one nine hundred seventy s. so which makes this new batch of data and images from juno probes so spectacular from gravity to jupiter's atmospheric storm bands juno is solving the mystery of just how deep the clouds go turns i have to go very deep one thousand eight hundred sixty miles to be exact meaning that these beautiful images tell us that the atmosphere of jupiter makes up one percent of the planet's total mass in perspective earth's atmosphere only makes up about one million of our planet's mass so keep your eyes on juno because it will be taking its last dive in july twenty eighth and jupiter is magneto sphere where it will disintegrate but if things keep going as well as they are nasa may extend juno's missions so take a moment today to gaze at these images and let the bad news leave your mind for just a moment and just. definitely definitely all right everybody that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world was not told the love will tell you all i

love you i am tired all the way to the top of the wall if people are watching those hawks another great day and night. and good news. was before. most of those who heard the preview or. seen him with the north we were going to. move. move. move show you new york the movie it's a good. muslim also is the also good view films good good. good good issue also look i do the same you want me to show your story to

actually go. to stuff to. get to me to do it with the good of the most they say look it is it's. just ashton understands distribute their mashed on truck stop the president on please control this project until. we have produced because looks were to snap them up when you look as good as the girls are with you for your supporters to your shoe station shooting star you should cook door for the one who's doing. the drive towards war against syria is unmistakable the pretext is still another alleged chemical attack as usual no evidence is presented as usual conclusions are

drawn before an independent investigation we lived in a very dangerous time. fracking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year with trucks or chose to drive trucks people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like the gold rush is very very similar to. this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here anymore slow down so much they lost their jobs got laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and it's a tough reality to deal. with

. donald trump does russia to try and shoot down u.s. missiles over syria and suggest that a strike is imminent the u.s. president goes on to say relations between the two powers a worse than joining the cold war. the us is threatening military action against damascus over an alleged chemical attack get a probe into the incident is yet to take place with an international fact finding mission not even due in syria until the end of the week. also facebook's boss says probed over election meddling and data leaks but it turns out that those grilling the c.e.o. being financially supported by him in the past meanwhile the social media giant faces a fiery battle with some of its books uses.
