my resignation to. world war two strolled to the. world for my movie for the baroness margaret i believe to be one of the only survivor. but it's interesting now is that the party in power ahead now the conservative party is also getting increasingly frustrated with the house of lords a hardline gregg's it is in particular because the lords keep rejecting him he brags that legislation that the government here is trying to push through rather embarrassing to reason may's administration has suffered fifteen defeats in the house of lords over the past few weeks and whenever the lords reject legislation

that politicians in the commons are trying to push through there is always talk of a constitutional crisis because they say elected politicians are trying to enact the will of the people whereas the on the elected laws are blocking those efforts or holding them up at least and there is on the other side of the argument argue well it's the job of the house of lords to hold politicians to account and to scrutinise the laws that they are trying to pass we'll follow that to break tell you about it next month now here's something you may not expect next seems there are a nerf opioids in the waters off seattle on the west coast of america that shellfish the nerve tested positive for the drugs so it is so reflects the high number of people therefore in the surrounding area who take the substances. but what we eat and what we excrete goes into the puget sound telling me that there's a lot of people taking arctic zero down and you know in the puget sound area it's

coming likely from the wastewater treatment plants you know that the world seemed clean muscles were put into more than a dozen locations and three of those areas were later confirmed to be contaminated waste water management it seems can't filter out the opioids furthermore it seems the muscles are unable to metabolize the drugs themselves but other sea life they could even become addicted shaka well this is the first time scientists have discovered the drugs and shellfish there they believe it highlights the extent of the nationwide opioid epidemic in the u.s. there's been more than two hundred thousand prescription overdose deaths in the u.s. since one thousand nine hundred nine and between one thousand nine hundred twenty sixteen overdose deaths have almost quadrupled six hundred fifty thousand opioid prescriptions are dispensed daily maybe that's to do with it policy research group me thinks very much that's the case. the real problem is not that you can detect oxy caught on and shellfish the the real problem is that over exposing the united

states to this highly addictive drug has led to an epidemic of opioid addiction and overdose deaths in the united states doctors are prescribing opioids for very common problems where opioids should not be prescribed these are good medicines for treating pain at the end of life there are good medicines when used for a couple of days after major surgery but the bulk of the prescribing the bulk of the consumption in the united states is for long term common problems where opioids are much more likely to harm patients than how patients if other countries increase prescribing the way we did in the united states i'm afraid that they will follow in our footsteps this is out international thanks being with us revici did around the world with me kevin zero in this coming up the new u.s. soldiers are being linked to torture interrogations in secret prisons in yemen and congress is demanding an investigation is one of the stories ahead.

with the goal makers manufacture consent to step into public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round of lives only the one percent. we can all middle of the room six. million really really. still seem wrong. why don't we all just don't call. me old yet to see her out. does the. attic. and indeed it was.

when some find themselves worlds apart when just of the common ground. parcel of moscow time claims that u.s. military personnel have been involved in torturing detainees in secret prisons in yemen there's no seeing congress vote to demand that the pentagon investigate a u.n. report says suspects at the sites were exposed to beatings electrocution and sexual violence some were imprisoned apparently in a metal cell in direct sunlight others were denied medical treatment there are reportedly eighteen secret torture prisons in yemen and neighboring countries the sites are mostly wrong by one of the main u.s. allies in the region the united arab emirates now those prisoners were reported on by the associated press their sources the parents are going to knowledge that

indeed the u.s. forces had been involved in interrogations and denied though however crucially any knowledge of abuse even so american personnel could still be liable for complicity in torture if they question detainees who'd also been subjected to torture human rights advocates accuse the u.s. of inertia over all this the u.s. hasn't learned the lesson that cup orating with forces they're targeting detainees and ruling families apart is not an effective way to fight extremist groups while the united arab emirates denies being involved in running secret prisons in yemen and refutes claims of being linked to torturing suspects political analyst told us they should however be an independent inquiry. you cannot be an executioner and then be the investigator you cannot be the judge and investigate and then execute but this is what the u.s. is doing basically the u.n. should be doing this should be the job of the u.n. the u.n. should be doing this and best a geisha and widely and with the support of the so-called civilized western world

which is obviously not source of allies as we have seen with the tortures and as we have seen also with the cover ups this is what the u.s. has been doing all over the world in every base that it has every time they can someone allegedly someone who is linked to terrorism or at least someone who was against the u.s. imperial demands or requests inside of this country they are treated like animals even worse. believe their philanthropist george soros is pouring millions of dollars into the campaigns of selected district attorney candidates in california comes out at the same time leaked documents revealed he's also spending millions on an anti bricks group in the united kingdom kellam open next looks at how far the billionaires fear of interest extends. now with all this talk of foreign meddling you would think that the activities of a hungry and billionaire pouring money into american politics might get more mainstream media play george soros is

a long time liberal money man and right now he's trying to influence the election of district attorneys across the united states basically he's pouring money into the campaigns of prosecutors he thinks will enforce the law in line with his liberal politics my name is noah phillips and i'm running for district attorney we've got some work and some healing to do to rebuild trust so we can keep sacramento safe forever. now getting supported by george soros isn't always a plus the man has plenty of detractors what is the out of state billionaire funding no with phillips campaign not telling us you know what phillips unethical dangerous wrong for. george soros has been sticking his nose into politics around the world for decades he started out funding anti communist dissidents during the late period of the cold war more recently he's been backing best for britain an anti bragg's it group in the u.k. we've got one mission and that is to try and stop breaks that george soros has

foundations have along with a number of other major donors also made significant contributions to i would indeed through his foundations he's contributed four hundred thousand pounds he's been working to try and repeal the abortion laws in ireland. the activities there have actually been deemed illegal with amnesty international being ordered by the authorities to return his donations that hasn't stopped him or even given him pause in trying to influence the politics of a foreign country that is just another example. by. concern in their own question. soros recently experienced a few setbacks in hungary central european university which he's very close to was unaccredited so what did he do to move it over the border into austria george soros

has no problem crossing borders moving money and creating a ruckus in order to further his political agenda the man has actually gone as far as to speak of himself and divine i admit i have always hob with an exaggerated view of myself and to put it bluntly i fancied myself as some kind of good or an economic reform alike or even a scientist like einstein with all this talk of washington corruption and big lobbyists don't forget about the big man himself george soros is globally oriented and he has no problem going to other lands and telling people how to live their lives. r.t. new york american journalist michael bloomfield believes lho being in the united states is actually to have a corruption discuss used as a business we get kind of a a cook narrative that leaves out the real source of corruption in washington which is our allies buying influence and taking american policy over the brink in the middle

east foreign governments are paying billions of dollars into think tanks. lobbying firms and even hollywood in order to curry favor in the u.s. the term collusion can certainly be applied to this lobbying this is the story i think that everyone in washington is missing out on because it's considered business as usual and it's basically collusion only takes place there's a grim new assessment of progress made by the united states and destroy mission in afghanistan government to what it is have said that efforts of stole the best and worst of the failing was more donald. you'd think that after sixteen years the u.s. led mission in afghanistan would finally have something to show for its trouble well here's how the federal authority tasked with overseeing reconstruction sees it. between two thousand and one in two thousand and seventeen years government efforts

to save the licensee cure in contested areas in afghanistan mostly failed the us government greatly overestimated its ability to build and reform government institutions in afghanistan a pretty clear picture from cigar the top brass in washington though wants to assure you they have everything under control now looking ahead to twenty eighteen as president gandhi said he believes we have turned a corner and i agree the momentum is now with the afghan security forces and the taliban cannot win in the face of the pressures that i outlined you think they're talking about two completely different wars but they've been at opposite poles before just last year cigar said the u.s. failed to properly mentor afghan forces let alone give them the momentum to beat the taliban with the enormous personal and financial sacrifices already made by afghans in their international partners the country my have relapsed to control by extremists and terrorists and again us generals are reading from an entirely

different script. afghanistan special operations forces are becoming the best in the region and the afghan air force is unable in those ground elements there is more work to be done and it will take time however this remains a very very worthy investment failing or not u.s. military leadership doesn't seem to be that bothered about how much this war is costing either flashback to twenty fourteen cigar reported that afghan reconstruction had exceeded the true cost of the marshall plan you know the u.s. is project to reconstruct all of western europe after world war two yeah it sounds like a budget busting hefty price tag. for american generals though it's a necessary expense to get things just right for a victory we should be seeking to win this war counterinsurgencies take a while i think we have gone a long way to setting the conditions for what generally would usually is the

defining factor in winning a counterinsurgency which is to set the conditions for governance so that the conditions for the rule of law set the conditions for economic opportunity go back farther to two thousand and nine and things already weren't looking so good then president obama had committed over thirty eight billion dollars to repair efforts in the region and that money was going to who exactly. our office also initiated preliminary inquiries into twenty three allegations of fraud waste and abuse even then u.s. military leaders optimistically saw the situation as a great springboard for their military campaign i'm not prepared to say that we have turned the corner but i think we have made significant progress in setting conditions in two thousand and nine and will make a real progress in two thousand and ten it takes a lot to keep that optimism up all these years but one thing the u.s. generals might have lost sight of is that if you plan to keep turning corners you'll end up right where you began donald quarter r.t.

. but a cultural nice story next to wrap up with the year across cultural celebrations but agreed between russia and japan has been marked by president putin the japanese prime minister we spent saturday evening enjoying a performance at the world bolshoi theatre not far from the red square here in moscow the two it earlier held wide ranging discussions on several issues concerning the country's bilateral relations. taking part in the some people's big economic forum the last few days we talked earlier. and check out our facebook twitter you tube so much more they're free to enjoy and of course there's more about thirty five minutes from now live from h.q. here in moscow with the next news update this saturday thanks for watching.

about your son passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last bank term. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words and helps to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each. and my feeling started change you talked about more like it was a kid still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and the promised to never be like it's one does not need a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with this one to. speak to

you as there were no other takers. to blame that mainstream media has met its maker . is that i'll be here. to tell you. that i am being a bit. like on the. by then got a session on the nod that a. guy that is a shift the long. distance not a set of course is going to learn more. sarsi certainly not so it. can be and also was a b. how did it move the pope multiple injuries among can connect to so the good stuff

you hope the book but shows your your mercy on the phone to the phone the whole home feeling perfectly possible so this is a yes but i don't know it's a book and more awesome what my. hanumant of knocked up and i know how to laugh aloud with conifers you know how i do something that'll save the walk. down on one not something outside of. the hamas and the tunnels look ma let's talk about economics i mentioned the magic bullet after. these we continue to discuss only about some are matters of the master. but the six parts i know we don't we are nothing to give to the next generation our reason

for the rich to be proud to be european these is the reason of us kept. but if you're. going to lose it is. our loss to be that need that stood.

yes he said. he. missed that it was a good clue if you believe the list. this he's fit into next year they successfully sued so. if you look closer to you i've come to time out to give you the inside story on one of the biggest engineering projects of our time trust me i won't leave a single stone unturned. if you've got the book or the new media. i might pick up but the sheer scale of this construction project is so much are

impressive here are a few numbers the construction site is divided into eight parts on each one of the piles up being driven in the time the sound of the piles being how much into place has become the construction sites true while the two. honestly it would be useful here when you used more of the judge doesn't matter to you. on the spirit of our i was born in curch and have a small house here so i'm a real crimean local that's why i really do have a vested interest in the crimean bridge. welnick i tells you all about the project of the century i'll show you some of the amazing parts of crimea that you've probably never heard of you get to meet a few locals through well basically i'm going to show you my crimea.

yes there are for sure but i. threw the food away that insidious. might well be the only girl in crimea who drives a long haul truck she lives in yes the turia and from there she regularly travels to moscow i'd. like to hear what she did a. dietician and short of. that. let's take a look at the map this crime it. hurts curch and some others here. that's where the crimea bridge will be built well two bridges rally one for trains and another road bridge here's where the ferry service is based off cause to quote crim . this might look at a place to build a bridge but in the winter strong currents here would push up against the pilings much harder than on to spit so this is

a lot safer. to be honest i'm really more of a tourist here. these guys around me are the real heroes. while seven am and it's time for a check up. working men and those strange. as to medical checks at seven in the morning was no virginia in a construction site is by definition a danger zone so they do everything they can to minimize risks. including the ordinary. illustrate. this is on serino shall be my guide here and some on the difference with you. when you did what. you did. you.

just did this new group of. people over. on serene i used to teach english and made a little extra cash by selling odds and ends at some on markets but now she's retired and concertina sister lives in curch but they don't get to see each other too often to visit her sister aunt serena has to go from some on support of cards then take a ferry to crimea and then the bus the current if there had been a bridge the whole trip would take no more than twenty minutes in the end on serene at the side of not to make the trip but instead to be the welcoming host herself. this is rich shots on serena's neighbor who's just dropped in. a little if you're working together go. forward more like devices who look up who.

you are after. when they're in the car over to the truck is going to be like most time on women on serena is well thought of a witch really does and yes it's business yes it did you. because you. never. knew that to. our computers. are. yours as part of this is what an ordinary time on software engineer looks like rashad keeps chickens ducks and sheep and his recently built a big house. his parents live with him do this in fact the only thing rashad doesn't have is a wife when he finds one she must be from crimea. shots

taken his aunts to crimea because the promise to set him up with a nice girl. does not does not mean that it's about the most about that but it's not just you know it's going to affect it she was. up there such that is just not stuck. to. what i know very well what's there a construction site. this might just look like a simple piece of metal but it really is an important element in bridge construction. like this that welded into the piles that will support the enormous white of this bam off it coordinate through storms abstracting ice. and i take a quick pit stop. this is all i've got this. place because no one. here knows it. honestly i know nothing at all about wheels and bolts but luckily she

doesn't just know about it she can actually do it if you're going to do it. oh and his aunts are almost village. and introductions to the potential bride are bouts of begin. and this is one of. her hard tradition dictates that young people. should only meet if they're chaperones on hand it may feel a bit awkward but tradition is tradition. the young couple successfully introduced some for a cup of coffee it's time to go home. we're going to risk averse what they're going to do so you sound like i was. the right look i was i'm going to be useless against someone you may say i'm talking about is easy to get is that you accomplish something in the e.u. you. bring in to make knew that if you could comment there when she sang about it

because it is going to be over there but according to their system is not your business and. look at that beauty. of industrial. get up close look at instruments eat your flips the machine you've been listening to go as soon as there's a nice nice used it it will smother it's still does a smothered. you. store but it just in will. go away yeah because that's because it's. each day more than two hundred pieces of construction equipment and a fleet of multi twenty four to craft hard work helping no less than ten cells and

stuff. never before has there been a project on this scale in russia. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question. and by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure come out you have to put me in eighty percent of the problem with you and you'll see all the all the great great you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down going let's go. along and just i want you and i'm really happy to join the team for the two thousand and thirteen

world cup in russia meet the special one come on don't appreciate me to just say the reno theology team's latest edition to make up a think i need to just say look. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you narrowness and spending shouldn't twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else on it because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy my great so what chance with. a nice minute. i've been saying.
