more and more manalo know. all. i remember when i was in high school is i love the earth science i love the mountains all of anythings he was rocks and my earth science teacher back then said there's going to be eight hundred years of coal and when he said that that's when things were good you know where everybody was working like the guys that worked in the mines they always had the nice cars like the camero 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 happened it's happened.

we. find it is what. and it's time to check. a load i think it. was going. on but it was. both.

last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs. pushed a fence down. blues that they just deployed for us. is the free will remain there so my little mundane boy they have this is the this is for me. a guy like. me. i don't see a porno baby don't get a make or. break. out war.

right we're all set starting five yes. you know how does this even know. he's not going to talk about no fly just leave right after the morris explorers one who would have their new. record. to say what he. told me in this room welcome to sophie and tell him so see shevardnadze and today we've got lots to talk about in our program and our guests. good luck to all. the politicians to. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president or injury or some want to be pressed. into life to be for us this is what before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. thank. you. i'm going. to live.

i was looking for the fast from. the class struggle still going. maybe in those. terms of the unions but for instance right now in terms of the empire. that you came out of really. nobody's ever found you go get me and. you're wasting your time and they were. very evil people you know they do things to fame these. days thanks to the young and the. sick if you noticed it ceased to be. the.

old kentucky county it's hard land produce the most coal at a time in which most of what power do united states came from kentucky. today the thirty three octave mines in harlan employed. less than some. some of deals minds have even been converted into museums. laid off left with nothing since the ninety's many laid off was for they don't see any other options in the fuel handouts in time on employed man are they usually customers swill herring county was founded on coal and there's a reason marin county was billed as the reason for. that is our encounters why they. basically as well aren't any of the building code and they got coal there's

nothing else here we don't have the luxury of the cities we don't have factories we don't in the reason not as good guys because there's good in the mountains we don't have the road boys in which largess a mantra is going to get me in a day and that. i go flip hamburgers at the local mcdonald's or i go down here peace joy and make pizza. well that's not something i'm deals over horrors ruben voice. you can walk through street fanny's honeymooners if you did more to get run over people goes both ways there was a big. old man story very strong in the room which did more for their bodies every way home will. continue to day. i'll give it leave the man just be any. person who are any good we're going

to do t.j. and i'll. call my uncles who are good examples here if we're going to save these we now spend it in years and years. and they tell you not to get your guns will not be coming out of me what i'm going to do is i don't because i'm in here and you know other than four years ago i'm going to go think. they were going oh well you. record label big deal that was. when i went in the coal mines i was eighteen years old it was around at. work to let go my hands for five years and every two years service my. way or. my two hours and thirty cents an hour rusty it was insane is that how much down in the world. there are very few. there's not as much money in the time.

when my doing here i just got out of jail. possession of stolen property. i'm not good. jails jail. as of. now good. i feed you three times a day. it will pay for t.v. . outlets to. all those things you. need you. here with me.

you know uptown. where i was a teenager smee is the jewels and screams is it through the roof these places. oh the story carried a pistol in us. of your oh enough carried what it was see it's the steel. string. we. heard from the gun guy here the pawn shop here for the past five years we take everything from you know d.v.d.'s to. boat motors or whatever you want to madge and we have some motorcycles smoking the mining equipment like this so say we would

take a lot of that stuff you would sell a four hundred dollar mining helmet maybe once a week the lights daily but the fact of the mining mines are shutting down makes it difficult to sell that stuff because these were so these were being sold to personal miners for their own use they're not in mining anymore course they're not buying that. line. here. where all of them are and very accounting. ever. in the states is tough today it's hard to see any traces of the turbulent past there once made harlan the tories. the county is still mostly dry and worse one for years people used to make moonshine knowledge drugs are in the rice

a trust painkillers prescribed by doctors to treat danger and six miners now ask a problem the emptiness. there's a lot of space where there's a big dish and or a. nurse said yes and yeah in three minutes anything there makes me feel better and they think makes them feel. we have a lot of problems with items that are coming in that are stolen. and maybe not just from drug users but that is a problem and i say again it's desperation to try to get some money to maintain a habit you know and i think since all this you know the mining and depression of the mining everything it's caused. a rising pills. it's the pills or the new alcohol. you're talking about the forty's in the. forty's and fifty's. so in the fifty's well we made it so. here in december we pay cocoa varies

but the race will be able to hope for as we carry in your sales forward our again. the black berries will we got a quarter again we get a lift you know all. muddy from there to close in some truth for them where they're . mostly what with troy in the food it was cordoned. lowered. so they were going to be at the o.b. with the. left. in the beginning and that would only have to take a few hours and they wanted them last and it towards the end of. the state. found its way in. and maybe before they switched. to the ones in jail. and when i see you know when they have it through sales now or have your

jobs are gone and. shut him down now the coal mines are said at. last that the mars is. shared and the people. in power. its owner. i walk the same road so this under a bush tally walked three decades ago and words from the opening paragraph to his book come to my mind. it was nineteen eighty eight my fifth visit to harlan county i was in the winding road from harlan to our birds driving a borrowed pick up truck when i began to notice the road kill it was a dangerous road with more than its share of adventures drivers and it was getting dark. i began to think of the many ways in which that was

a presence in this land that any most the road accidents and of course the corn mines beyond and block long. returning to new york leaving behind harlan in the endless rain. i tried to put together the pieces sober remotes were to i only got a glimpse off. my own with wonder where all that energy came from. the energy that lights up the luxury. there was leaving his whole bar is worth when hurt is little girls great. all daddy dear dad he plays golf ball way.

they don't go to the. bar drew. on come true. oh oh daddy dear dad he plays golf all way. down south down the way they. claim to know all. he was. leaving.

town. he. didn't steal or still be. the only. see you it is like that is pending and you can take your panix out your body and the body continues on it's just an appendage. so this is what people don't understand is that the u.k. leaving the e.u. the e.u. continues on great but if you take the appendix out the bodies is going to wither in trouble and die because it has no body to exist anymore and this is what's

happening in the u.k. and it's going to be a lot of fun to watch because there's a living beyond their means for so many years now now it's all coming home to roost . loeb. modest some cool company going on down. the indigenous people as you know we that they paid in people treat. most flukey should say that only the feeling but the earth moved so. out of a sudden the man just ran and pulled b j when. i said i when entering its building if they would not allow me. to if they will shoot

me. at all. million million indeed i'm not i'm not picking on you menominee been thought to be chubby don't punish your minion man you got a guy medical army and you got me i used. to. russia is one of the countries that most buy capacity in all the very high population does that mean russia does need to be concerned about sustainability i would say yes absolutely you are no lucky situation where you have a lot of farm per person so to say you know you have a lot of wealth ecological wealth and but the word is very scarce so that's a huge economic advantage as well and saying wow this is an amazing farm let's look after it well because that's not our ad said that the naval us to live well in the

long run. this is music camps this is video games this is me i'm sure it's much broader than twitter and google the u.s. senate intelligence committee considers how to respond to alleged foreign influence with social media and russia tops the agenda also ahead. scenes of protest in zimbabwe's capital during an anxious wait for the results of the first free election in decades the opposition is accusing the ruling party of widespread fraud and. the registration type of crime that has been

a crime and yet the media and the government some extent are treating it like an espionage a lawyer for. the russian a woman accused of being a kremlin agent in the u.s. tells r t the case being blown out of proportion. of broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is art. international and john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. all right a day after facebook took down thirty two fake facebook and instagram accounts in the u.s. senate intelligence committee has held a hearing on how to counter russia and of the countries in their alleged attempts to undermine american democracy or to come up and as commentary well once again we've got u.s. officials who are talking up the dangers of influence operations and foreign

meddling campaigns now as you might suspect this time as the senate intelligence committee is hearing testimony the villain is the same after election day the russian government stepped on the gas the russians in this case and others see us as a cheap date they have long term strategic goals which include where we can in western institutions and faith in democracy the russian government came into the house of the american. family and manipulated by cyber attacks remain a core part of moscow's arsenal as you might suspect the story goes on the same way we've heard it many times before essentially russia is accused of encouraging controversy in the united states around issues like immigration guns racism and all kinds of other things now one thing that's lacking in this report just like in so many other similar reports is any solid actual evidence we can you estimate the

number of americans touched by russian linked activity in this area. you know that is very difficult to do and i'm concerned that even after eighteen months of study we are still only scratching the surface when it comes to russia's information warfare in their effort to influence the american mind apparently the kremlin has one very very powerful weapon that would be me means a lot of pride pride related content less news more memes this is a problem of the entire information ecosystem this is cross-platform reddit confirm hundreds of ira created accounts tumblr did it isn't just a couple of platforms this is music apps this is video games this is me i'm sure and it's much broader than twitter and google in the portrait that the testimony painted on capitol hill you essentially got the impression that americans minds are

very easily manipulated that all it takes to influence the way americans think about world events and politics is to give them a video game on a computer or a meme to look at and all the sudden their minds are changed now repeatedly during the hearings we heard members of congress expressing frustration with the american people saying that they were angry that the american students weren't just listening to what they called the good sources and were instead listening to other other news outlets other. other voices expressing different views out from there we also heard a call interesting lee for classes on media literacy to be given in american schools so that americans can know what news outlets they should be listening to and what news outlets they should not be listening to their e interesting it was quite a day on capitol hill dan. of the book the plant escape go to russia thinks the idea of u.s. voters being significantly influenced by means should not be taken seriously there

is a point in the goal of course is to keep the war machine going by continuing to raise the specter of a. russia somehow interfering in our democracy whatever that means but the idea that me and video games and whatever they're pointing to could have any significant influence in our democracy is frankly a joke you know it's actually very reminiscent of the first cold more were they made outlandish claims like the communists were behind for right in the water this makes no sense at all if you look at dean i did states that has hollywood films that have amazing it and it's in every country in the world whatever of these means were video games pale in comparison to that of cultural influence of the u.s. yes. there are reports that three people have been killed in zimbabwe after the army opened fire on angry opposition protesters in the capital tanks moved in as

tensions rose over the delayed results of the first elections since a long time leader robert mugabe was ousted. i. so far only partial results have been released but the ruling zanu p.f. party is on course for a parliamentary majority amid claims of vote rigging and voter intimidation observers have criticised the delay in declaring the final results and will give a further assessment later a presidential election result has not been declared either but on russia's feared if mugabe's successor mission. stays in power the opposition m.d.c. alliance has already declared its candidate nelson chamisa say as the winner. you know. millions were drawn to polling stations on monday the

turnout is thought to be around seventy five percent to first time candidates are in a closer race for the presidency after mugabe was imposed in a military coup last autumn his former right hand man. took over and is being challenged for the top job. the electoral commission has until saturday to clear the results african affairs expert iow johnson told us that the result will be defined in zimbabwe as relations with the west and its own future economic development. there are some huge challenges and huge repercussions for whoever wins if. n.b.c. wins. then more than likely the west will be happy. with wins and it's deemed that there was some irregularities the question is if the the west doesn't feel that they've had a fair shake in terms of this election then they could keep the sanctions going

they could keep some of the factors that have actually helped or prevented zimbabwe from developing on evolving and for it's in a growth to to happen and of course. it's in limbo so. these elections are pivotal this is a crossroads and the decisions that are made from there from now want to especially that of the presidency mr chairman or mr. would determine whether the west would support their claim. twitter has again found itself at the center of the debate over censorship the latest controversy comes after it imposed a twelve hour suspension on austin peterson a republican candidate in the u.s. state of missouri senate race for what it described as abusive behavior and is a suspension came after a writer for the left leaning share blue website draw a link between peterson's acceptance of bitcoin for a campaign financing and the alleged russian hacking of democratic center senator

peterson responded to that with a jet featuring joseph stalin some users flagged the candidates posed as offensive and it was subsequently deemed to have violated it twitter's rules but the image was actually from the platform's own collection and can be found on its database and twitter says the tweet amounted to targeted harassment which it says is often used to silence voices on the platform but austin peterson claims there was more to the suspension. three different emails were sent to me about this saying that i had not done anything wrong mysteriously two days later the ban was issued it almost seems as though something had gone on behind the scenes and that this would this was an attempt to suppress my speech during a critical election and it is quite ironic because my response was a was a picture of joseph stalin which was meant to be humorous saying off the gulag and then of course they mass reported me as if i have access to

a gulag here in the state of missouri that i could that could be a credible threat mr peterson's ban comes as twitter brings it together a special research team to combat prejudice and promote what it defines as collective health and openness on its platform but the plan seems to be causing controversy with the assembled a team already being accused of a strong anti trump bias. come from meeting from john. something tells me you will certainly start seeing more republicans in congress are testing the waters and pushing back against term. terms twenty sixteen digital team in cambridge on this week to help the russians figure out who to target he's campaigned on facebook.
