turkey moves to ditch the dollar and trade with partners including russia and china as feud with washington intensified its. chemical giants month sandhill is ordered to pay nearly three hundred million dollars to a former groundskeeper in the u.s. over claims that it's a best selling weed killer causes cancer. and a son a very in florida keys a rush of packing the state's voting system and of the midterm elections but state authorities say that there is no evidence to support that claim.

are broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our chief international john thomas are they glad to have you with us now turkey isn't ready to abandon the u.s. dollar in its international trade a president gave a defiant speech after donald trump's latest tariffs sent the turkish currency into a tailspin if. 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 u.s. 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. i have just authorized a doubling of tariffs on steel and i mean you with respect to turkey is their currency the turkish lira slides roughly downward against our very strong dollar

and the mini move now be twenty percent and still fifty percent our relations with key are not good at this time of the dispute 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 that no one stands to gain from an escalation between the two countries but is a trades. fight going on certainly hurts turkish interests but a lot of people in the us are also very about these steps taken by the truckload ministration hurting the american economy if not in the short run certainly in the media many little run i think it is not just a turkish american problem good appearing 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 bit deep transformation of the international trading system and these problems are there pushing it turkey or chicken motor other alternatives and this needlessly getting closer and closer links with russia. is school grounds keeper and the u.s. has successfully sued the chemical giant monsanto a california jury ruled that the company's weed killer gave it dwayne johnson terminal cancer and it ordered monsanto to pay him two hundred eighty nine million dollars in damages not a case could set a precedent for thousands of other claims against if a chemical giant and 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 fear and a lot of everything i'm just getting 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 guy at the same everything i'm glad to be here to be able to help the cause is way bigger than me. the dispute centered on month santo's round up weed killer is the key ingredient is goal life essayed which has been produced by monsanto for decades now but in two thousand fifteen the world health organization found that substance that substance could be carcinogenic and monsanto insists the product is safe and it has 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 or 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 spread 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 manipulated the data in their research and they lured 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 nancy 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. if the science wins and they're not able to manipulate the

process. the democratic senator from florida has accused russia of hacking the state's at voter registration system artie's killam up and comment. 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 build 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 see. 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 the unrest has been gathering pace over 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. and now to a disturbing story now a passenger plane stolen by an apparently suicidal airline employee has crashed

near seattle and there were no other people on board video of the plane flying low and radically over residential areas was posted online. yes. q four hundred one. over here should never be that low three year. period iran.

there's no indication this was an attack of any kind or a terrorist act of any kind apparently it was somebody who did something wrong 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 bomb a dear 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 as of yet we heard from an aviation expert who believes air companies should have stricter vetting processes. report says that he's an employee so he already has

access as side this is what we call an in and inside the risk is being highlighted over the past several years by various sources in the including i.r. . you know with all the security measures that we have around with because 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. so i understand that there's a ton of they know that there's astonishment by people who happen this guy on pilot to take the aircraft well this is not the first time. in the sixty's we had a u.s. 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 and much more after

a short break you're watching our two international. first. of all the. georgia shows don't google so document on the first take. how much. past. the first week. was. there are eight hundred eighty. two most rigid little drops or some of the sheen you know. was not very. good the gears a bit surreal. but they were. rooted fortunately. bruising us tomorrow. morning travel at.

c. and. 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 geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moved him to a different spot where the previous standard is not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice so listen to that it has not been as the i intend them. to do this out in.

this. case both. welcome back this is our international now a crowd of anti-fascist is rallying in charlottesville virginia a day before the first anniversary of a deadly race riot in the city. the . white nationalists are expected to hold a demonstration on sunday one year after unite the right march against the removal of confederate monuments one anti-racism activist was killed during that unrest a massive security operation is underway in the city with concrete barriers and metal fences in place. thousands of 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 elaine which with so called special status and journalist anna reitman was at the rally for r.t. . where apple telling the municipality that we're being square for an estimated eighteen 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 a lot of people have come from all over the country in order to protest here today so 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 israeli can market and that the p.l.o.

is the will of the majority critics of the nation state legislation which has constitutional weight and checks but it does not include a provision stating that all israelis are equal under the law this is a. sickness a citizenship this is a mall equality and for dignity that mission is this law is that this kind of minute today will. basically gets ignored as 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. to repeal this law and to achieve a full equality in our homeland i don't think this law we immediately affects people directly it's not of the law if. something bad would happen immediately but i think that in the long i think it's a it's a big mistake to start making laws that discriminates against them so it's cool the

national low it's mean these states it should be to the jew and me. should be oh 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 in this rally follow several demonstrations one of which included tens of thousands. members of the jury 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 awaits trial of the museum where the rally will continue and a right to man march the intel of the. the company of 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 or do you go down off comments. 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 eighty thousand people who live here there's only one borehole for every sixty households 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 tiny it is like packaged 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'd 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. yes it's fascinating in its own way but in response to be only a shrug it off saying some are just too sensitive competing with it is

a company. called i've been goal which took a shot at facilitating water privatization in bolivia and let me just show you how that turned out i. not only did it triple the price of water i've 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 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 have 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 this. will be to one million people too for the liberty government it is just purely business commodification of what our financial editor of the sec i did go to a beautiful little revolt to accept it because it will . he will go along with me in. the grave a lot of what is supposed to be a busy gay human rights is going to be a lot of conflict in this growth rate wow. in the

public but just to go a little more do. given little the political will deliver. shocking video has emerged showing the brutal assault of an elderly man in a california vocal sikh community says it has faced a surge in hate crime a sense that donald trump was elected and a bit of one of them i find following video disturbing.

seems to be more of her trend after post nine eleven and in america they were in treaty tracking the shape crimes on six but after certain incidents including deaths in the post nine eleven or deaths of six men they started tracking it an out 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 town are tracking at about three years ago it was no one so we and it definitely has escalated in their trunk there are more and it is a direct correlation between fact there was a study you know right after nine eleven would show or didn't how the correlation between those two people in america perceived to be terrorists primarily bit urban on and at it looking for anyone who has a turban looking men they just supposed those are quarterly advantage of the people

who are doing the same things although actually it's an accurate. full disclosure i'm a geek about this sort of stuff but space is cool now a russian cosmonaut is attracting a huge following on you tube his videos sent from the international space station provide a unique glimpse of life in order. well not all because risk is thoughts and you know that with a look up here. the . other. issue which is a constantly. just

give us a little bit more sick of the previous guts. because that means that the child was one of those is that enough. i suppose i was a clip of it that it was that is. that it is if you are working somewhere which is. something i. got to love that stuff you're much much international be back i would say in about thirty four minutes with more news stay with.

us. you know world big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to

stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. join me every thursday on the alec salmon shield and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see you then. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. crossing their fingers just as they would a simple i want to become lost and i want to ask this on this but if many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sites the director used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities the best person to

ask than call mom. to see them or yell at them at a person and get them out on a quest that one that. they can't watch as the options to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house all over for the gravels. both epi what if he had to be bad to the. offense it struggles of many couples won't. kill the chance of putting food impulse response both of you up at the pump to the fault of the. game is natural camera. roughly once they showed some need for them. to joan cool videos and so on with the broken string apps. down more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. .

there is a ladder we found. in the desert when when somebody jumped over the wall the wall and then we. we flew for these waters jugs out there and these racist groups slice them open with knives it's really sad and we find shotgun shells people should you know but the migrants. twenty years ago i started going out to the desert like we're doing right now to bring water to people that are across because the people that are across you know across the rio all the way they jam they cannot get visas there's no visas for

these people so they risk their lives crossing in the desert or the mountains or the ocean where other cities by sandy able to one out there's a wall where there's no cities there's no wall and that's where people cross and that's where people die so every summer more people die because of the wall that exists right now then the entire history of the berlin wall. and you can see this is part of operation gatekeeper one nine hundred ninety four and as we walk through no walk to the end right here just to the bottom of this little hill that's the the a wall though george bush did and if you look further down there's no wall.
