more possible for the us because they see people and trucks near the buildings. people in trucks. move clear buildings like i would imagine there would be i can't imagine that we're suddenly just decide to like oh well let's take all the trucks home and leave a nucular building where you want to be one way that they want energy to just empty the public we're going to dismantle all this stuff that apparently magically is supposed to dismantle its cell and the. satellite launching station is in the process of being dismantled according to both unnamed again intelligence sources but the washington post piece claims that this is only symbolic and that it can all be rebuilt in a matter of bugs so it's really don't trust the fact that it is being dismantled the facility has not been confirmed as a site for uranium enrichment by european intelligence services or other agencies and yet the broad consensus among u.s. intelligence agencies that. is one of at least two secret enrichment plants i

remember them broad consensus is broad consensus is we're all over the story overboard back in the old let's go into iraq and saddam had w m d's i remember that very clearly remember it was seventeen intelligence and yes which by the way if you believe that each one of those intelligence agencies really assess to the issue then the geospatial made them feel also you would take if that's the person you're going like well if they. could you want the liquid satellite imagery is i going to how i want to ask you that iraq one of the things that keeps getting brought up about this is this sort of cornucopia of contradiction. is the idea that well north korea's never going to give up their nuclear weapons are not going to totally disarm which they were not totally disarmed but they're not going to do any of this because that would mean that regime change is on the table considering that like regime change has been a failure and every single attempt by the u.s. government. what do you. know i mean it's we're going to have

a regime change in north korea and want to be because we don't i don't believe even if we went in and let's say we bombed the hell out of north korea to remove him from power we're not in any capacity to rebuild that country around any capacity to reeducate you know the people living there we don't have the patience for it you saw with iraq we don't have the patience to rebuild iraq in any meaningful way you know and that's why regime change doesn't work and that's why you have to read between the lines when you see stories like this at the end of the day. as we go to break our watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover the facebook and twitter see our poll shows that r t v dot com coming up author and speaker watkins joins us to discuss the controversy surrounding n.b.a. superstar le bron james and the opening of a new school in his hometown can't believe that's controversial stay tuned for watching the hawks.

join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of politics sport i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. this is says harlan kentucky. we're all in this move the boy says he was going straight fanny's lane the only. a co money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the wiser said that's that it was a laugh to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their 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. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like homer timestamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent slice last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per cent that first shot him because he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but.

a gifted professional athlete uses his fame and wealth to help out those less fortunate in this hometown we've probably seen this headline about a thousand times without the slightest whiff of controversy but a pair. if that gifted athlete is n.b.a. superstar le bron james and donald trump as president this feels feel good headline is now overshadowed by the firebrand partisan politics that dominate the political discourse today you see because despite opening a brand new elementary school in his hometown of akron ohio for over two hundred out risk kids the headline of the day has now become le bron james for using sport to divide the country why well because c.n.n. and don lemon choose to ask the brought about politics rather than schools you see

jenkins along with a host of other professional athletes have spoken out against u.s. president on the front war but then of all players of the national anthem which caused fox news host laura ingram to an infamous. this is what happens when you attempt to leave high school a year early to join the n.b.a. and it's always on wise to get political advice from someone who gets paid one hundred million dollars a year to bounce a ball oh and le bron and kevin they're great players but no one voted for you millions elected trump to be their coach so keep the political commentary to yourself or as someone once said shut up and dribble. other things i can't shut up but joining us now to discuss james and what it says about the state of our infrastructure we need sports stars to help fund elementary schools is an author an educator do you want. to go see it as well. i mean

racism to yourself or you just shut up so before we begin to. speak well dribbling. what does that say about the state of the country that kids or communities now need professional athletes to come and help them build proper schools and get them proper education so number one le bron james is a global hero this isn't his first time stepping up in government should be gone and let's not forget he's the guy who had to program a two thousand and eleven will's educational will as a will is what education when he got kids bikes who are actually getting good grades in school he also brought the kids in the school school supplies. to computers also the same guy who used his money from dribbling a basketball to send a thousand kids to college now he has this school where everyone who graduates from

this was going to go to college there's also going to have an extended school day it's also going to get a job placement for their parents so he's actually fixing the whole community so anybody that would have anything negative to say about that or who would take the time to bring up something like corny right now current political climate in a good few presidents. just a little clicks yeah yeah and i got to it's sort of amazing that that's the thing that people are focused on it isn't just laurie ingram it isn't just like fox is on the right it's c.n.n. and imus and b.c. running down that same thing anyways which is why so she's right trying to leave hospital yes not true i don't know what do you talking about it's larry's to me. million dollars well. but there's something that's just weird to me that it's such a setting. that you that know why you know first of all he doesn't just shut up and do anything especially from a woman like that. doesn't this kind of doesn't this kind of like

put a blow to the whole just shut up and drive all proud when you see that he's actually going out with like hair i'll build a school doesn't it sort of throw in the face of everything they say that you don't do anything get out of politics and he's like literally right checks and has a receipt for someone to glory in a room so i understand he also poured a lot of his money into this project himself this isn't coming from like taxpayers' money from taxpayers and other people so that's one to ten minutes at the top of his profession he's an american citizen as a tax and a taxpayer he's a person who has a right to vote and the right to voice his opinion so it's like if you go back to the same very system that would even give you the best of the in the news station that's silly to sit back and let somebody say that he doesn't deserve the talk like that's why it is slavery braces i'm one of the one that's disgusting if you want to be a good person if you want to be a broom nice person then you should step up and say well you know what that's all it is gonna shut up and dribble but this guy is actually making his community

a better place i've actually made nothing a better place and my career and not what i'm doing with my life. and that's and that's the thing it's very easy for people to kind of sit back and throw darts and throw arrows you know that's a that's an easy thing that this society does and you see that across the political spectrum everybody likes to throw shots you know and but it's you can't do that when someone is putting their money where their mouth is le bron stand up and do that you can disagree with how brown plays basketball you can disagree with how the broader sense which is teams every four years but at the end of the day as a community leader i just got to say that i just think as a community leader he's stepping up but what's interesting is this side of athletes or celebrity speaking out and being political. or standing up you have mohammad elise standing up saying i'm not going to go to the vietnam war you know they ended up taking his title and championship away this is old this is an old dance in the united states why do you believe there's such pushback against people who are quote

unquote in the political sphere or are lawyers or bankers or businessmen who step up and say even if it's right or left or whatever the politics are but who do step up and say not a problem with this and i'm going to call you out politically for it like why is there such pushback against that i never thought i would say this like you know maybe they're discriminating against him because he actually makes money these are black and he makes money because joe the plumber got a whole segment he was a good speller but i mean it's joe the plumber the guy who got on t.v. and and made up things about his business and things that he was doing that he actually wasn't doing that he actually was a position to do and this guy became a fox news superstar and then you have a person who's actually you know who who you know you can fact check come on they love it because you know everything he makes and does it's public record. he should be speaking you know because we need to know with joy the plumber has to say like i said it's all said and the stress out of the negative attention distracts away from the fact that you know this young person who. they have you know the best

upbringing remember where he came from the moment the problems that he had as a young student and has done something to change the narrative and so many athletes who are watching this they're going to step up and you're going to they're going to they're going to figure out what they want to do to make a difference to win this is how we how we build community and we needed now more than ever because of. as a kerry education secretary how that see the vase knows nothing about education and she ran a string of fail charter schools in michigan but yet she gets a chance to you know create education policy and she doesn't know nothing good that's the interesting thing about it is like i was asking it's like it's a weird time to be living in your code. where you see celebrities doing more to better situations than you see your own country i mean even say a lot of people don't want sean penn but he actually went down to haiti and did a lot for the country in the poet in the post hurricane and built a company that now goes around the world doing that le bron james other people i

hope that i hope the fellow you mention pro athletes one of the things i hope for is that there's come there's a huge competition between athletes right now would be great then if you suddenly see them trying to topple a brawn built in elementary school we don't know what the ecology going to be amazing but it does say something horrible about the state of our country right now trying to come back with trump university or the other we have these are guys that i think are a lot but i think part of it is when you have a celebrity president that is sort of brings that up that everybody like all celebrities are bad so they're all trying to run to fix certain things but at the end of the day this is one of those situations where. he didn't just throw some money in something you didn't just show up to cut a ribbon you know this is a really wild. project for that specific place it really it isn't just this whole like you know whatever i'm just going to go and build a park so the brown school the i promise school it opens monday for two hundred forty third and fourth graders and the school expand sort of year by year and get

bigger and bigger i think as they can like grow until it eventually by two thousand and twenty it will be grades one through a. so you know we look at this this broad versus trump and like this idea that you know laura graham side of you know what he was a millions of people voted for and as if the rest of us who didn't vote rahm all stop and say that he still lost the popular vote you know i'm going to see even millions did but millions more actually. you know it's one of those things but do you think this is a cultural problem or a news problem is this some probably right or left political issue or is this just . this infection of news i'm not going to blame news i'm going to blame i'm going to blame racism because it says you know shut up and dribble was code word you know that is called word sunday that they said we don't know what that means going to she she made the point to call them both unintelligent like she made a point the say these things and i feel like if tom brady bill at the school she would have a different tone i completely you know is the term supported us up in the air like

i hear he is i hear he is a i don't know but i'm saying that if tom brady built the school he would be a hero it would be the best thing that ever happened but because it's le bron james and because he's not a fan of the president like most americans aren't that's proven yeah you know it becomes like this ridiculous disgust and problem it is it is and i think that we're letting politics get in the way of that's the problem like you're you've got somebody who stepped up and said look i have more than i ever could possibly need you know if money was going to give back to my community and now you have the person being ostracized now for that action i don't think anyone is going to come out and say oh. we shouldn't build the school but any time but even then they change so they change the conversation to be about politics in the good nor the fact of what he's done for this community and that other people should also be picking up that mantle in any way you can you know that's the biggest thing we all have to give back in any way we can and we don't i mean we don't have the brawn money wish it did but i'm still going to try to give a little extra dollars to the folks on the street that i walk by in the morning who

need it i mean those i think you have to do what you do what you can and whether that's buying books for schools or you know giving a little bit to help artists as they're growing and things like that there's these little things that we can do and if you have millions you should be doing things like building schools not giving millions to politicians yeah. thank you so that's my thing i think of a small overhead as a cultural problem to an extent and we would rather put money in a politician than in a school in a community group that's that that's a really good point yeah the deal was always a pleasure having you want to talk about this always go to town with everybody on next week. so a joint study between the university in st petersburg russia and the laser in central institute in hanover germany a theoretical physicist tested how the great pyramids of giza would interact with electromagnetic waves and while their findings launch anyone who sees and will see

in season one of ancient aliens it is surprising the science community it seems that the pyramids are capable of concentrating electromagnetic energy within the inner chambers and within its base these findings mean that the great pyramids of giza could ultimately help scientists create new kinds of nano particles that could be used to produce highly efficient solar panels and sensors far beyond what we have available today just think we might learn the key to clean energy from a forty five hundred year old four hundred fifty six foot stack of rocks that's the . label lucasfilm until now turns out that a structure believed to be a place for the dead is probably the key to life the mark and i can't believe it's coming true you are writing our lives pretty incredible right that is our show predict they will remember everyone in this world we are told that we are loved and so i tell you all i love you i rolled into a time capsule and keep on watching those hawks out there another great day that

everybody. on this edition of cross uk we consider one question is donald trump's america first policy in contradiction to the washington consensus idea of american exceptionalism the answer this question will likely define trump's presidency and change the world. and it is in this is. the church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to

call this the do a graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice so something that is as old as the eye and then i think you'll hear that it used to stay out in . its path through. the little god we get. caught up with. was thinking of you'll eat. meat.

loaf. america's immigration agency claims police in portland refused to answer nine one one calls and come to their aid during violent protest against president trump's immigration crackdown. in the headlines to a french my good association stops its aid work fearing violence in a volatile district of paris will give you more detail on. you in we think for more of maria put to the russian woman who's a. cuse to being a kremlin agent and faces trial in the us. this is more a registration type of espionage for. the media the government some extra or treat it like an espionage. plus can comedian and presenter the daily show trevor no i'm

a top american t.v. personalities but some say these days his jokes go way too far oh rule might be don't joke about something called a massacre just say i mean i don't know if there's any rules but a city away from. where they could morning live from moscow is kevin owen checking out some stories with you making the headlines this wednesday the first of all this just ten ten am he. first then in the us at no nine one one help if you want to if you would rather for the i.c.e. the immigration and customs enforcement agency this seems police in portland oregon are accused of refusing to respond to some emergency calls from ice agents who say they needed assistance to handle violent protests against their agency is facing a huge backlash right now for the way it handles migrants with an

a ball the ice movement staging protests across the country caleb maupin reports from one of those protests these protesters are part of a national why campaign all over the country protesters are demanding that this law enforcement agency that enforces u.s. immigration law be abolished. as the trump administration has pursued what i believe is a deeply immoral and haphazard policy that fundamental. he betrays american values obviously that's unacceptable and the american people expect better i am to do calling on the architect of this humanitarian disaster department of homeland security secretary curious to nielsen to step down so in the city of

portland oregon outside the headquarters of the immigration customs enforcement agency he had protests that took place for a month now the protesters frequently they were outside the building lots of rowdy protests there and then at that point you had members of the ice agency who were saying that they felt threatened by the protesters they were saying the protesters of blocking the entrance to the building that they were menaced by the protesters they called the police pretty frequently so then you had the mayor of portland basically telling the police department not to respond to isis calls i've consistently stated that i do not want the portland police bureau endangered in securing federal property big houses a federal agency with its own federal police force eyes has been terrifying more people than they are it's being terrified i'm sorry they're taking kids captive this is our duty to see every human being as a human being not in a way and all the words they use is so racist it's so unfair and i'm sorry i have

no sympathy for them they chose this as their job ted wheeler is the mayor of portland oregon which is one of the many cities that are being described as what you call sanctuary cities that are not cooperating with federal immigration officials they're basically defying the federal government not cooperating with it now u.s. attorney general jeff sessions has ordered these sanctuary cities all across the united states to start complying with the federal immigration officials but they're refusing to do so some people are saying that like these immigration policies are dividing the country tearing the country up trump is dividing america what do you say to those people. in saying trump is to wing what's necessary to make this a country under obama we didn't have a border we had a welcome mat. yeah yeah people protesting you want their opinions heard they do want action taken they do want. the families

worth it we've been separated to be reunited these illegal and he is country and gets everything for free how my tax dollars ok how do you think about that. so what is the stand all political blogger on the broad logan told us refusal to protect ice agents from harassment could be seen as a violation of the us constitution. every person has their right as a u.s. citizen so they're breaking the law they're breaking the constitution with a case in which they're talking about is to run on ice ages while again being harassed by protesters the local police ship. the protesting were added in making a federal government come in and in put boots on the ground i think the regular police would be a much better alternative then haven't a federal police come in and try to protect the streets i think you will see more conversations like this is not anything new this is be going on for

a little wow ever since chuck got elected and he's people are totally irrational and they're driven largely by the mainstream media as long as the mainstream media is complicit if you continue to see more things like his own fortune in the. volatile atmosphere in a paris district is forcing one pro why grant help association to end its crucial work they're calling to volunteers the areas now on the safe and even minimum security measures are being let go to working for almost two years they're distributing more than two hundred fifty thousand meals and supplies along the way so the dubin ski reports. in paris is a gritty eighteenth hante small town hundreds of my clients clustered together on the streets they gather here as it's where food is distributed by a local farmer until but after twenty months. wilson looks set to close its doors saying they just can't take any more fanciful it's become more tense

we're serving around seven hundred breakfasts every day to migrants who live in terrible conditions they have nothing not even tents they sleep on the ground and sometimes woken up by the police in the morning they keep them unused take us to move them so when they come to us they're stressed and nervous twice last week we had to stop serving food to let the tension calm down this is something new for us so yes we're stopping. migrants have been expelled by police in this area many times philip tells me that despite this they come back and every time they do this situation becomes even more desperate from the beginning our mission was to serve hot drinks and bread and we've done this for twenty months every day during the last month we started questioning our mission as we day one i volunteered to be put in danger. who is to blame for this situation for not giving enough help to the migrants on the streets is this the mayor of paris is this the government of france

. is all for us is both the state is responsible for people on the streets for taking in migrants at the same time the authorities in paris are restricting access to water taps in the summer is irresponsible they also have a responsibility towards the miners their miners who sleep on the street and in the comfort drug addicts me the state nor the parish administration is doing its job. with the authorities not providing enough support the volunteers are giving up just a stone's throw away from he is an area known locally as crack hill that's also made things worse for those working to help the migrants felipe says that some of the drug addicts are also coming for food handouts and causing problems. the drug addicts are evaluated recently but nothing was done to help them and they came back to an outcome for breakthroughs too it creates additional tension very aggressive including towards the volunteers so this is an explosive situation.

while we're recording the into the need to think distribution point to take individual approach us all of you guys all about media in which there's your reality and i was here i was the only man i was you know so every city we keep in mind that some of the people on the streets are very uncomfortable with it like filming that we're not filming that scene but they just i'm comfortable with the cameras i believe that if you see this it's the. exact i. think. more people are coming nothing's being done about it and there are the drug addicts as you saw it's impossible to film people here it's becoming more difficult than before we think the situation is explosive and it puts is in real danger. by shutting up shop so legality may call with no that they are cutting off a vital lifeline for fun ripping economists but as well as doing it out of concern

for their volunteers they hope to move to prompt the authorities to stop ignoring the plight of migrants and force them to take action even ski r.t. paris. made headlines last month after being arrested in the u.s. for being a russian agent she now faces further allegations such as luring american money to russia to america spoke to a lawyer it's coming up later this week on our youtube channel. well i think if you read the indictment in the case she is alleged to be an agent over russia who failed to register with the attorney general and so essentially that means is they haven't charged with espionage and if you read the allegations against her now the allegations are parenting spy like about it the sense of the government is conceding that even under their own theory if she had filed a piece of paper with the attorney general's office at the begin.
