turkey moves to ditch the dollar in trade with the partners including russia and china as a feud with washington intensifying. chemical giant monsanto is ordered to pay nearly three hundred million dollars to a former groundskeeper in the u.s. over claims that its best selling weed killer causes cancer. and a senator in florida accuses russia hacking at the state's voting system ahead of the midterm elections but they go forward to say that there's no evidence to support that claim.

are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our team international john thomas really glad to have you with us now turkey is ready to abandon the u.s. dollar and its international trade president everyone gave a defiant speech after donald trump's latest tariffs sent the turkish currency into a tailspin. we are preparing to use our own national currency with our biggest trading partners such as china russia and ukraine if european countries want to get away from the us dollar then we are ready to set up such a system as well. the turkish leader went on to say that his country needs to look for new friends and allies he also appealed to citizens to sell their u.s. dollars and buy turkish lira to defend the currency in the wake of donald trump's punitive trade measures. now i have just authorized the doubling of tariffs on steel and with respect to turkey is their currency the turkish lira slides rapidly

downward against a very strong dollar and a mini moon now be twenty percent and still fifty percent our relations with key are not good at this time the dispute have flared up over turkey's refusal to release an american pastor accused of involvement in a failed coup two years ago the countries are also at odds over turkey's purchase of russian missile defense systems and they have clashed over strategies in the war against islamic state in syria and iraq in former turkish ambassador to the us told us no one stands to gain from an escalation between the two countries. but is a trades. fight going on so it can hurt turkish interests but a lot of people that are us are also very devout these steps taken by the truckload ministration hurting the american economy not in the short run certainly in the media many little around i think it is not just

a turkish american problem good opinion and also uncomfortable with these steps being taken by the united states what these steps are telling us is that there is a need for a very deep transformation of the international trading system and these problems are here pushing at turkey or chicken mode other alternatives and this needs mostly getting closer and closer links with russia. a school grounds keeper in the u.s. has successfully sued the chemical giant monsanto a california jury ruled that the company's weak we'd killer and gave dwayne johnson terminal cancer and it ordered monsanto to pay him two hundred eighty nine million dollars in damages case could set a precedent for thousands of other claims against the chemical giant and to doing johnson says it's much more than a personal victory. just beginning this case i received a lot of support and

a lot of thank you and a lot of you know. everything and just from a lot of people that i don't even know you know i'm glad to be here to help but this situation after i learned about. rick and quite the same everything i'm glad to be you're able to help the cause as we begin to me. the dispute centered on monsanto's roundup weed killer the key ingredient is life phosphate which has been produced by monsanto for decades but in two thousand and fifteen the world health organization found that the substance could be carcinogenic monsanto insists the product is safe and it's pledged to appeal the court's decision cancer is a terrible disease but when you asked me about the verdict today the verdict doesn't change the science. to say it is safe it has been used safely for more than four decades around the entire world it has been studied with and there are more

than eight hundred published peer reviewed studies that demonstrate a safety. jeffrey smith of from the institute for responsible technology thinks the case has dealt a huge blow to monsanto's reputation. the entire process of this trial has forced monsanto to to reveal millions of secret documents and though show clearly that it but nippy related the data in their research and they ignored a lot of research that they had see over decades pointing to the fact that roundup and life is a cause cancer so i don't know exactly what they're going to do but i did hear their closing arguments i was in the court and they came with so many so much decision from asian that the plaintiff's attorney was able to show oh they just they just read a portion of the quote when you play the whole quote it turns out it's exactly the opposite conclusion that once it was trying to to drop this is it so we show that they were actually covering up the health dangers even in the courtroom this could

be a death blow ultimately two months if the science wins and they're not able to manipulate the process. a democratic senator from florida has accused russia of hacking the state of voter registration system artie's killam up and has commentary. bill nelson democratic senator from florida has some alarming news he says that russia has hacked its way into the state's voter registration records they have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move the boat well time demand the battle stations this is big news except for some reason no one in florida has ever heard about it there are revelle from the florida department of state says that no law enforcement is aware of anything of this nature she says they have received zero information from nelson about his claim and that the f.b.i. the d.h.s.s. and all the florida law enforcement have is observed nothing of the kind the

department of homeland security in washington d.c. has now confirmed that they've never heard about it spokesperson sarah sendek says that it didn't happen to she says we have not heard any news of compromises by russian actors of the election infrastructure bill nelson however says he has obsessional inside information about russian hackers in florida but he can't tell us the details because it's classified he can't tell us which counties have been hacked because it's classified and he can't tell us who told him this you guessed it it's classified nobody in florida has heard of it the department of homeland security has not heard about it but let's take bill nelson at his word let's say the russians actually have hacked into the voting records don't you think that bill ought to be giving whatever information he has to the d.h.s.s. and to florida officials shouldn't he be telling them before he tells the media if they haven't heard about it yet shouldn't they have heard about it now and shouldn't they now take that information and stop the breach why is bill not swing

into action getting all the local and federal officials involved well that's classified so classified that bill is holding all the cards and leaving the rest of america in the dark talk of russia is certainly a headline grabber but this time no one is rushing in to save the unnamed counties in florida and that's what makes it a bit too fishy it sounds a bit like somebody isn't telling the truth and that somebody is a lot closer to miami than the moscow. tens of thousands of protesters flooded the streets of the romanian capital on saturday night for an anti-corruption rally now the unrest has been gathering pace for the past few days with people demanding the government's resignation it was triggered by a new law that reduces the punishment for abuse of office dozens of people have been arrested and hundreds injured in clashes with police.

a passenger plane stolen by an apparently suicidal airline employee has crashed near seattle there were no other people on board video of the plane flying low and a radically over residential areas was posted online. yes. q four hundred one. should never be the.

place for the ransom. there's no indication this was an attack of any kind or a terrorist act of any kind apparently he was somebody who did something wrong did something foolish and may well have paid with his life exactly the circumstances of why this person was flying a small commercial plane with props i have no idea if. the plane was an alaska airlines bombardier q four hundred capable of carrying up to seventy six passengers the man who stole it is thought to have died in the crash but no body has been recovered we heard from an aviation expert who believes air

companies should have stricter vetting processes. so he only asked access. this is what we called inside the risk is being highlighted over the past several years by various social scene. gordon i ahd thought that. you know with all the security measures that we have around would cost the passengers it has been warned that we need to start looking into employees but unfortunate that's not a very popular subject within the industry people need to realize that look flying an aircraft is not flying it correctly is the heart so i understand that there's a ton of they know that there's astonishment by people how could this guy and on pilot the aircraft but this is not the first time. in the sixty's we had a us a u.s. air force mechanic stealing a u.s. air force transport aircraft and ending up crashing so this is you know this is nothing new to the industry the arab israelis are voicing their anger over

a new nation state law that story right after the break stay with us is. anyone else seem wrong. just don't. get to shape. these days. and in. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. just to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to be this is what. three of them will be good. interested in that was. for all the back this is r t international now. arab israelis have taken to the streets of tel aviv denouncing a controversial new law israeli parliament recently passed a jewish nation state bill crowds chanted resist apartheid and we are all brothers the new law downgraded arabic from an official language of israel to

a language with so-called special status journalist and a right man was at the rally for. where apple tell of the municipality at racine square where an estimated eight hundred thousand seven streeters have shown up to protest the nation state bill one thing here calls for peaceful relations between jews and arabs one can see lots of signs that are in both hebrew and arabic talking about shame on the law and people who come from all over the country in order to protest here today that much just lieschen states that israel is the nation state of the jewish people with exclusive rights to self-determination supporters see that individual rights continue to be protected under israel we can mock the city and that the p.l.o. is the will of the majority critics of the nation state legislation which has constitutional weight and checks that it does not include a provision stating that all israelis are equal under the law this is

a small affair sickness is citizenship this is emotional to equality and for dignity the nation is the law is it this kind of minute today will. basically get you can realize the. community wasn't as one as a second or third of the class citizens and we're here to say that we cannot allow those and we will continue all of a sudden to repeal this law and to achieve a full equality in our homeland i don't think this law we immediately affects people directly top of the north that something bad would happen immediately but i think that in the long i think it's it's a big mistake to start making laws that discriminates against so it's called the initial low it's mean this it should be to the jew and me. should be zero so it's really it's unbelievable it's a dictatorship it's going to be apartheid so it's going to be

a dictatorship still and i want to serve this is the democracy of this rally follow several demonstrations one of which included tens of thousands. members of the jewish community who are arabic speaking israeli citizens that also serve in the military it's expected that the battle against the nation state law will continue to the supreme court several petitions have been filed against it demonstrators are now marching about a kilometer away to tell of the museum where the rally will continue and our rights men are to be intel of the. the company at the center of a long running scandal over polluted water in the u.s. city of flint is lining up to be a private supplier in nigeria you go off as commentary. nigeria is a country going up against all sorts of hardship poverty corruption the resurgence of terrorist groups but there's an even more fundamental one water about forty

percent of the country's population almost seventy million people live without access to clean water for the eighty thousand people who live here there's only one borehole for every sixty households who used to walk miles to fetch water by the river now we fetch from this bore hole nearby and have time to cook and wash it all the uses the water for cooking and the laundry of course it's not we don't drink it so we had to look for tony lake package the water that's all we you know we drink because of how the water systems pipes have decayed now a quarter of all supplies literally seep through the cracks three major companies have been shortlisted to seize control of nigeria's water by privatizing it healthy competition or so when you think but actually it's a choice between the bad the ugly and the really ugly the first company i'm going

to talk about is france's veolia it could be known for many things but it's not tori's for just one oversaw the quality of water in the u.s. city of flint michigan which turned into a major disaster. it's fascinating in its own way but in response to veolia rugged off saying some are just too sensitive competing with it is a compass. he called and goal which took a shot at facilitating water privatization in bolivia and let me just show you how that turned out.

not only did it triple the price of water had been go imposed fees on collecting rain awards which world was the last straw and the final company i will look at is a dubai based imitator through its largest shareholder it's a link to the infamous decoder access pipeline which was accused of ignoring heritage and putting business before people. well frankly nigerians don't stand to lose much when it comes to water supply it's so scar's activists have called for a state of emergency but with business sharks calling the shots the country's

crisis kind of down the drain entirely so-called investors are ready to call in and then there's money to be made solely to do. so for little to government it is just purely business commodification of what financial as usual this little girl to be able to revolt to accept it because each wheel. he will go along with him. can have a lot of what is supposed to be a busy gay human rights it will be a lot of all of lead in these. wow what they did in the public well used to go it will do. very little the political will deliver. a shocking video has emerged showing the brutal assault of an elderly sick man in

california the local sikh community says it has faced a surge in hate crime since donald trump was elected and a bit of a warning you might find of the following a video disturbing. this seems to be more of her trend after post nine eleven and in america they were intrigued tracking the hate crimes on six but after certain incidents including

deaths in the post nine eleven or deaths of sick men they started tracking it and that in two thousand and fifteen and the estimates are for this year one of the majors six and right organization estimates it to be once a week now so what we do know is that this started tracking at about three years ago it would no one so be and it definitely has escalated in their trunk there are more it is a direct correlation between fact there was a study you know right after nine eleven which showed that how the correlation between those who people in america perceive to be tourists primarily bit urban on and at it looking for anyone who has their turban looking men did just supposed those are correlated then to the people who are doing the same things although actually it's an accurate. russian cosmonaut is attracting a huge following on you tube his videos sent from the international space station

provide unique glimpse of life in. well not all because ms because that's the you know the with the look up here. was. the little girl in. leather dimple please she looked just like it would simplify. the to hurt. just because some people must think the previously it's. perfectly ok if it's the result of the fall well that's one of the but it's not funny it's not what. i thought it was i

will just slip it at the video. that if you look it up working it somewhere which is from los. angeles a monthly. you cannot look at that and not come to the conclusion that space is cool here watching our two international will be back with more news stay with us.

first. of all those. georgia shows don't google so document on the first day. how much. the student eleven if you take. the first. nearly. eight grade to name it to most bridget does but drops out some because the she knew. her. was on. the wheels but it's a real. if they were in. georgia i mean that was. just terrible mean for her. college campus remember little smile laugh.

when lawmakers manufactured consensus instead of public wealth. when the right wing closest to protect themselves. with the famous merry go round listen to the one percent. nor middle of the room six. million real news is really. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president in church. one of the.

two going to be first is what before we have the more people. interested always in the water. but with a post. like this before. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs. first offense. they just stepped. into the room we have made the money. they have. made.

me. i don't know maybe they'll get a. break right. now what. i am asked as or this is a kaiser report you know the secret of good television never sleep never sleep. so this is apparently the secret to keeping the population happy with the situation at hand the economic situation at hand that is rigged as the

atlantic said as we covered in the last episode is to have potemkin villages essentially you have a potemkin regulator in the united kingdom and you have potemkin money operating around the world which is called the u.s. dollar standard if we are to believe these headlines today so actually this is from last week and remember we're doing the summer solution series where we're looking at the big picture because it is the summer and we're sitting back and relaxing and looking at the bigger stories and looking out the window because i saw some guys i'm black flak jackets with a r fifteen is coming this way so i just keep note of the ok but here's a tweet from last week with sky news and they said the financial conduct authority says royal bank of scotland senior managers will not be disciplined for misconduct over the treatment of small firms in the bank's global restructuring group as the

city regulators powers do not apply oh apparently the united kingdom has this regulator called the financial conduct authority and that was established after the financial crisis and they made you know while they were having all those inquiries to distract the population they said oh population voters all those who have basically your taxes have financed the rescue of all these banks and we're going to keep on looking forward not back about their crimes but. is we've set up this financial conduct authority to make sure it never happens again well now that emerged that the taxpayer own the royal bank of scotland georgi group did indeed smash and grab the assets of a lot of small and medium sized enterprises across the united kingdom well now the financial conduct authority says. oops our bad we can't do anything we don't have the authority to go.
