you can see what i believe and there's no way that it seems like america has already decided what the key issue in the upcoming vote will be and it's not going to be perceived to russian influence as some outlets would like you to believe it's going to be the donald to keep in mind he won't actually be anywhere on the ballot these are mid-term congressional elections but regardless the way american politics is developing it seems like the upcoming vote in november will be a referendum on one man mop and r.t. new york. former advisor to congressman ron paul told us the upcoming midterm election of the u.s. is basically bold on the being a referendum on donald trump. this election like most but this one especially this midterm election coming to the united states is not can be about ideas particularly going to be about policy there's a very anti intellectual mood in the country right now there's really three parties in the united states right now there's the trunk party there's the. trump or non

trump republicans which is sort of the remnants of the old george w. bush reagan era party and then there's the democrats democrats have lots of problems and divisions among them but they're all united in their hatred and that's not so much an intellectual exercise as it is a referendum on him and this device of the atmosphere we have in america. one palestinians being killed and over two hundred injured in the latest on rest on the israeli border the health ministry in gaza claims that almost one hundred of the injured were wounded by israeli defense forces a company to protest the israeli occupation of palestinian territories but ongoing for over four months now gaza brace journalists dri said is this latest report from the border. quokka there are. no ok i'm standing here one hundred meters away from the fence a separates gaza strip with israel and as you see thousands of palestinian

your gas jones that's right your gas and despite this nightmare is that shoot live ammunition on the palestinian protesters journalists and paramedics the palestinians continue to protest east gaza strip along the fence in five different locations in the gaza strip on the other side of this the i.d.f. says it responded according to standard procedures it claims the measures were prompted by the presence of more than eight thousand as they put it violent rioters friday saw the nineteenth great march of return rallies since they began in march but political sciences professor nima says israel's guilty of using disproportionate force. as a matter of fact are using the life i mission or over the place not only in gaza whenever it's comes to the palestinians a confrontation usually they use the machine most of the times sometimes they use their bullets but mainly it's organized by a lot of busting in factions or of protestant factions and it is representing the

palestinian will go to their borders and to clean their right of return back to their homes which was a land which was taken from them in one hundred forty. of the other hand the better students have nothing what do you mean by guards israeli have if sixteen and thirty five and they are dying as they have artillery they have everything and there seem to have guards this is absolutely unmatch. a russian mole inside the u.s. embassy in moscow salacious stuff from britain's guardian newspaper has been reveling in its scoop but all is not as it seems as he goes down off explains. everybody loves a spy drama mystery suspense and the russian firm fertile. the name of the agent is stapling saul my name is evelyn so then you are

a russian spy. this guardian story had every ingredient for a thriller recipe the u.s. secret service as quite clearly stems from the very name is one of the most enigmatic agencies of the u.s. government its main function is to protect the lives of u.s. presidents ministers the top political brass and that is where the russians according to the guardian planted a mall the russian spy had been working under tech to the heart of the american embassy in moscow for more than a decade she had plenty of time to gather intelligence without supervision. the guardian's head of investigations claims she was operational for a whole decade in that time through the agency's internet in e-mail systems she had access to all kinds of highly classified stuff including the shared jewels of the president and vice president all of that according to the guardian the woman fled

to the office be russia's key security agency before being let go last year over security concerns they had lying to the narrative the details looked spectacular in the scoop which was even projected to link to a spy ploy in washington d.c. itself her activities of stealing and sharing information could shed more light on how the russians were able to hack the twenty sixteen presidential election office of the d.n.c. except the secret service was. unimpressed by the reporting and no doubt of shame or embarrassment but because of the facts according to the media release within the agency the woman in question held the position of a foreign service national these employees have their duties outlined very strictly as by default the secret service views every one of them surprises as potential spies the woman's responsibilities were limited to things like translation cultural

guidance administrative support and i don't mean to offend anybody here but this cell. sounds more like the job description over tourist guide rather than a spine material employee. and i wish i could say the guardian did not know all these things when publishing the article but they did prior to the guardian publishing there are the u.s. secret service provided they are ended their official statement clearly refuting in found information despite all this the article was published as is after all everybody loves a spy drama but some plots a better be saved for hollywood script. eighteen of died after helicopter crashed occurring all workers saturday morning across the ask region in siberia the m.i.a. helicopter came down shortly after it took off partly from the city of god and then exploded on impact fifteen or workers three crew on board that authorities say

collided with cargo some of that was suspended under a second helicopter emergency teams have recovered the flight recorders the safe from the burnt wreckage. despite recent positive changes women's rights so once again the spotlight in saudi arabia will tell you about that and the rest of this morning's saturday headlines from moscow after this break. what politicians do to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to be. actually going to be for us this is what before three of the more people. interested always at the water's edge. thanks to.

when i was told seemed wrong. but old roles just don't know all. the world that is yet to shake out this day comes to educate and in detroit it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. good morning russia's foreign ministry says the evacuation of the white helmets from syria shows that the controversial rescue group turned out to be quote foreign

agents working in anti syrian interests for huge amounts of money the white helmets are being praised in the west though for their involvement with rescue operations in syria they were mostly on the territories occupied by anti-government forces and terrorist groups but with those elements largely defeated now the white helmets feared persecution and were evacuated by israel to western countries the group's been enjoying funds from the u.s. and its nato allies but critics point to multiple controversies surrounding the white helmets among other instances there was seen at executions even waving terrorist flags and jihadists civilians on the ground in syria also have damning evidence against them. so we're know they would bring cameras and explosives something to destroy for

example this building here that foreign people in the streets and promised the money or food just say whatever they needed. to syrian first responders who risked their lives to say about terrorists in war torn aleppo the face of relenting brutality heroes have emerged. cops to tell whenever food aid was brought into the white helmets and the rebels would take it all for themselves to give us nothing not even bread. they have chosen to risk their lives to save others. commercial when you see that all the children when we go out to buy food we'd see them if there was a collapsed building of tourist shelling they cordoned off the area and save the rebel fighters or people they cared about they would leave the civilians the same

happened not far from here a building was destroyed in shelling and they came just to pull their own out as usual they left civilians. we've been able to get these brave people and their families out of syria after the extraordinary work they've done in saving the lives of the white helmets nice people they help the rebels only good in safe civilians the locals out for rebels. so plenty of accusations than a host of other things going on to go national tansey put then to the head of the controversial group. tell me about. the can each the boy whose photos were awards he was covered in dust and the white helmets of the bordley saved his life. the truth is as you know run definitions home was bombed and he was extracted by

our teams from under the rubble and we did not photograph the source of the photograph that was published was not of the white helmets but a journalistic reporter we saved him and his brother who stayed in hospital for several months until he recovered we were surprised at the way he was used and exploited by the russian government to speak in the media. that me she's father been given the safety and been taken to a safe place he would have spoken differently than he did under the threats of the syrian regime he knows well that we saved his son and his brother who stayed in hospital for several months until his full recovery because mother. told r.t. the photograph was used to exploit him with regard to the way bill much they primarily work with the press is a professional tool they are using we had a pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh on the program telling us the way the helmets were a propaganda organization in truth a man's father is obliged to speak in that way and he's not in total safety under

the regime that has announced the assassination of eleven thousand convicts in the prisons over the last few weeks alone he is obliged to speak that way and i understand his position however we know that we have fulfilled our duty when we rescued his two sons from under the rubble after they were bombed by the syrian regime this is our duty and we do not expect thanks from anybody for fulfilling our duty towards our own people in syria as for the other journalists i don't know who they are the journalist that you are referring to those who have come up with such talk unless they are part of those journalists that create propaganda against the white helmets which have become known by the name we do not feel the need to respond to them because they are aware of the fact that they are lying and we know that they are lying. well that full interview will be aired throughout saturday here and available later on our web site r t dot com and our you tube channel as well if you want to catch it. human rights watch and amnesty international reporting the two prominent women's rights activists been arrested in saudi arabia

the arrest of some are we and missy mouse to die a signal that the saudi authorities see any peaceful dissent whether past or present as a threat to their autocratic rule this unprecedented level of persecution of human rights defenders in saudi arabia is a disturbing sign that the crackdown is far from over the rest of the activists are protesting against laws that compel women to get permission from and studied marry or travel abroad. there's a long time campaigner for women's and sheer minority rights the other arrested activist this summer but that surname may have some familiar to you also veteran activists women's rights in saudi arabia her brother rife is a dissident and activist who's serving a ten year jail term for insulting islam online summer received the twenty twelve international women of courage award from the van u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton. so mel you are a human rights activist a monitor of human rights in your country of saudi arabia one

thousand the saudi government began cracking down on women's rights activists just over two months ago now the official reasons for the latest arrests are known but previous detainees have been accused of having suspicious contacts with foreign entities but then saudi officials had warned that further arrests could be carried out as the investigation proceeded even so on the face of it the crown prince solomons eager to show a different side promising reforms of late and even lifting the ban recently on women driving vehicles or said those staff at the u.n. human rights commission is office of grave concerns over the crackdown right now. we are concerned about the continuing arrests and our parents apparently arbitrary detentions of human rights defenders and activists in saudi arabia including women's rights activists since the fifteenth of me at least fifteen government

critics were detained we understand that eight of them were later temporarily released until the completion of their procedural review political activist medea benjamin believes that saudi arabia is it's got its own leverage on the us. you can see old pictures of somewhere up the del way with michelle obama with hillary clinton and she was celebrated in the state department now that she's arrested we don't hear anything from the state department calling out the saudi government for this terrible act of arresting her for absolutely nothing we have seen in a crackdown on in recent months on human rights activists women activists and this is another example every time the u.n. does something to speak out against abuses in saudi arabia so the arabia then turns around and blackmails the united nations saying we will stop giving you money so i'm twenty one twenty nine and moscow good morning for me those are the stories of

how they have so far this is something the fourth of august for most of them kevin i would know more for me than just about half an hour's time ago. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics. i'm show business. thank you. i'm just curious

if the comedy show where americans in america covering american news are first some reason called foreign agents imagine imagine this headline armed gunman at airports secretly follow around peaceful americans who are not accused or suspected of any crime and who aren't listed on any terrorism watch list i think the proper response if you were to read that headline to seeing that revelation would be so a mother of god to germany shock. what instead that headline could have been in our american newspapers this week a new t.s.a. program has been revealed called quiet skies it's existed since twenty ten and it armed federal air marshals follow ordinary american citizens collecting information about their movements and behavior well like where's the line in the

sand when you go oh oh we're inside like one of those dystopian military state horror shows. because for me personally like when i go to a quiet place and i really think about it and i really just take a minute and think about it that line is is when armed gunmen are following around peaceful unaware americans who haven't been accused don't cry like that's a lot like you right over that and you know when you step over a year zero zero pm military say oh oh oh oh whoopsie oh no to me three go here why is guys through simply targets travelers who are not under investigation by any agency and are not on the terrorist screening database. this means you are right this is you i'm talking to you guy at home sitting there going well they owe me they don't mean me i haven't done anything wrong here i'm

talking to you that you like wipe the idea of wrong out of your head do you have any idea how many people who haven't done anything wrong or in our jails our prisons our court systems millions millions here is some of these suspicious activities that the documents show air marshals are looking for when observing someone subject was abnormally aware of their surroundings observing the boarding gate area from a far excessive fidgeting excessive perspiration rapid eye blinking rubbing wringing of hands strong body odor sweaty palms using about the room a lot. using the bathroom have you seen airplane food all right we're. where all are using the bathroom walk even in the airport

even at the airport if you want to score like a piece of fresh broccoli you have to like meet a guy in a dark corner but between a brookstone and mcdonnell's or he opens up his coat or a veil like a vegetable of some saw orange and. then once you agree on a price he puts it inside a toblerone box just so the world just just so the world doesn't find out that there's a black market leafy greens loose in the airport. to toblerone the choc'late no one once in less it's duty for a year. and then it's worth its weight in gold. and excess in fidgeting they literally sell devices at airport kiosks just for fishing. i could therefore. even the airborne. no this is utter horse in late may an air marshal complained to colleagues about having just surveilled

a working southwest airlines flight attendant as part of a quiet skies mission subject wearing too much make up he's clearly hiding something all right so subject passing out cans of liquid to passengers could be toxic fluid subject stayed on flight for multiple trips from back aboard from chicago to new york i mean if i thought suspicious i don't know what is subject seems too concerned about whether people's feet are in feet or in the aisles so you know one could say it borders on obsessive compulsive tendencies take her down to go down. these with guns who trained how to shoot things in a plane like this this is a real image of the train i mean completely unrealistic this is the fraud that the mannequin would be currently screaming god i got our feet by step down. and secondly you look at that leg room are you kidding ok. well you know

this. is that seat reserved for the queen of england mother because. i mean if you can to get your gun out when your knee is against your chassis and off. anyway these douchebags also find it suspicious when a target has a cold penetrating stay there or wide open staring on this why the open staring eyes that's interesting because a few weeks ago and i'm not making this up i happen to be on a flight with congressman adam schiff. now if that guy's on terrorists i don't know what one is. but don't worry don't worry though nancy pelosi has her eye on it all right she is monitoring the situation. something else these gunmen are looking for is a telltale sign that you're getting ready to blow up fellow human beings

exaggerated emotions and exaggerated emotions well i'm sure our mass media hacks and con artists have something to say about that babies and other young children. we are. living in the one nine hundred thirty s. all over again. folks in a very dramatic development. we're. i did a lot of do the lie. to tell mother could. go viral. but i will say this c.n.n. and the other networks did cover this story about quiet skies they did not fail to

reveal this insane invasion of privacy during the quick march toward a totalitarian state take a look there's absolutely no intention to surveil ordinary americans instead its purpose is to ensure passengers and flight crew are protected during air travel no different than putting a police officer on a beat where intelligence and information presents a need for increased watch and deterrent no different than putting a police officer on a beat yeah yeah it is cobb's don't follow random people around who aren't suspected of a crime and see if they're blinking all right. i'm not saying no cop has ever beaten someone for going to my door for using the bathroom too much when they're not tasked with taking notes about bathroom habits d.s.t. difference i mean it's tough to overstate this are two men literally follow us around to make sure we behave ourselves. it sure is

a free country and this is at the airport i'm free to use the bathroom no more than once. i've read to have body odor if it's the appropriate amount i'm free to be aware of my surroundings to a certain extent. i believe it was founding father patrick henry who said give me liberty within reason and. the words of washington university law professor john turley had this to say there may be indeed constitutional issues here depending on how restrictive or intrusive these measures are intrusive all right we we've got not so bright guys with guns ready to fire at a moment's notice because i happen to look a bit fidgety yeah maybe i am fidgety all right because maybe i'm going on two

hours of sleep and maybe i've already had three cocktails and maybe i was just at airport security all right. so i. got to go to the exchanges a movie i mean i don't care if the mother is an intrusive i don't want him following me well despite all my anger about this you may feel differently once you hear how impressively effective the program has been requested by congress to twenty seventeen report noted that the agency which spent eight hundred million dollars and twenty fifteen has no information on its effectiveness in deterring attacks wow. who can't argue with those gotta results. all eight hundred million dollars for a veritable telling of no information. we could all agree that's a bargain. according to the government's own department of justice standards there

is no cause to be can die. doing these secret missions well at the conclusion of that c.n.n. segment that i just showed after bring it on the former inspector general for the department of transportation who seemed downright excited about the whole thing i'm sure the c.n.n. anchor will point out this is a horrific abuse of law enforcement it makes a mockery of our freedom and it puts us firmly in the category of military surveillance state take us home so you know i will say that a time anyone talks about rapid eye rapid blinking arrival and i feel if i find myself blinking quite a bit more it's just lovely in response mary thank you so much i appreciate it if. i'm having a problem loving response right now blinking segments like this which is pretty that segment pretty similar to all the mainstream coverage of this new revelation this week or more insidious than they seem it is.
