and john thomas certainly glad to have you with us. now turkey is ready to abandon the u.s. dollar and its international trade a president gave a defiant speech after the latest terrorist 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. as 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

out of many move now be twenty percent and still fifty percent our relations with key i'm not good at this time the dispute to flare up over turkey is that 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. the former turkish ambassador to the us told us no one stands to gain from an escalation between the two countries but is a trade. 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 it's not in the short run certainly in the medium and it will 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 better deep trance formation of the international trading system and these problems are they're pushing a turkey or tipping mode other alternatives and this is last getting closer and closer links with russia. the school grounds keeper in the u.s. has successfully sued the chemical giant monsanto. a california jury ruled that the company's weed killer gave dwayne johnson terminal cancer and it ordered monsanto to pay him a two hundred eighty nine million dollars and damages the case could set a precedent for thousands of other claims against the chemical giant and doing johnson says it's much more than a personal victory. to speak in this case i received a lot of support and a lot of thank you and a lot of our you know. everything and just

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. work and life 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 glyphosate which has been a produced by monsanto for decades but in two thousand and fifteen the world health organization found that that substance could be carcinogenic and santa insists that 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 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 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 ignored a lot of research that they had seen 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 at the state's voter registration system artie's came 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 about 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 young arrest has been gathering pace over the past few days with people demanding the government's resignation 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 us. now for a truly setting story a passenger plane stolen by an apparently suicidal airline employee has crashed

there's no indication this was an attack of any kind or a terrorist act of any kind apparently 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 in alaska airlines at 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 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 also saying include an eye on that. you know with all the security measures that we have around we've got 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 that the aircraft well this is not the first starting. 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 much more after a break stay with us this is our two international. one else

seem wrong. just don't. let me. get to shape out to stay active. and engaged with equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. this is. the church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it 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 where the previous standard is not know the highest ranks of the

catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end though that's known as the end then i think you'll hear that it is this is out and. it's true. you know we're a little big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the 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.

this is our international crowd of anti-fascists is rallying in charlottesville virginia a day before the first anniversary of the deadly race riots in this city. was far the saga of the. white nationalists will hold a demonstration in washington d.c. on sunday one year after a unite the right march in charlottesville against the removal of confederate monuments one anti-racism activist was killed during last year's on rest in large security operation is underway in both charlottesville and washington with a concrete barriers in place and streets closed off. thousands of arab israelis have taken to the streets of tel aviv denouncing a controversial new law the 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 reitman was afterall a farty. where apple telling the municipality that we're being square where an estimated eight hundred thousand salmon 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 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 will continue to be protected under israel we can mock the sea and that the

below 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 a more equality and for dignity that mission is this law is that this kind of minute today will. basically kept you can roys 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 the and we will continue all the slogan 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 up of the law if. something bad would happen to the media if you think that in the longer i think it's it's a big mistake to start making laws that discriminates against them so it's called the national low it's mean this it should be to the jew and me. i 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 stood on i want to serve this is the democracy of this rally follow several demonstrations one of which included tens of thousands. members of the juries 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 the intel of 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 archie seeger's dawn of has 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 eighty thousand people who live here there's only one borehole for every sixty households he 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. 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 linked 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 this. will be to one million people to for liberty government it is just purely business commodification of what the nationalization of this i thought i did do the beautiful work need to revolt to accept it because each wheel. he will go along with in. the equivalent of what is supposed to be a busy gay human rights is going to be a lot of conflict in this prescript wow what period in the

public but just to go a little more do. even look at all the political will deliver. shocking video has emerged showing the brutal assault of an elderly sick man in california the local sikh community says it faced a surge in hate crimes and trump was elected and you may find the following video disturbing.

this seems to be more of their 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 and i in two thousand and fifteen and the estimates are for this year one of the majors six in 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 he and it definitely has escalated in their trunk there are more and it is a direct correlation between fact there was a study out after nine eleven which showed that how the correlation between those who people in america perceive to be terrorists primarily bit urban on and at it looking or anyone who has a terrible looking men they just supposed those are correlated then to do people

who are doing the same things although it's actually it's an accurate. i have to admit and have stories like this next one ever since i was a little kid have gotten me excited always because spanx is cool to russian cosmonaut is attracting a huge following on you tube his videos sent from the international space station provide a unique glimpse of life or poor. well not all because there's because that's the you know the with the look up here. the liberal. elite units are six atlanta.

so if you will see the police it's. the basis of media that's well it's one of the it's not like. i suppose i was a player if it was to do. that he could put up work or somebody up which is a little slow to. something . that doesn't for me i'll be back and well i'd say about thirty four minutes with

your headlines you are watch march international stay with us all. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. cos you know how most people just got the word of sympathy i want you we got most of enter another one the last for some just about us but i think many of them look for refuge in the so-called centrist sides of the refuse to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities how to best response than call mom. to see them or no i don't have a son i get them an auto plants and what about the. water they hope she has to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house all over for the gravels because both of you have this the who can beat up the deal to go without offense it

struggle to many couples won't vote will decide to kill which at the push to put it will spawn both both of both of you out to to do the bulk of the. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. more somehow i want to press. you to do right to be for us with a white woman for free in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. during question.

con welcome to worlds apart as a popular american song goes there is no justice in the world and the palestinians may know it better than anyone else expelled from the land bad with empty stage with promises for seventy years and now shot at and killed and masked for the sake of providing security for israel is that likely to prompt any international response beyond this condemnations well to discuss that i'm now joined by saber erika the secretary general of the palestine liberation organization mr erica it's good to talk to you at this critical moment thank you very much for your time and a pleasure now first of all let me express our deep felt condolences just as deeply felt rage a mass killing on the gaza border is there anything at this point that you can do to stop it first of all i appreciate your kindness and. your understanding of the

situation and your condolences to the palestinian people we have witnessed the. massacre sixty four people were killed. totally and i and in their land none of them across the israel and then there's really army sixty four and one day two thousand five hundred and there was a bank and gaza and and the line the line that we hear from israel is that israel defend itself i don't know defend itself against what and against whom. and then the united states nikki haley then best of the it's really becoming to be the spokesperson of those really government and this american administration has really thrown this region down the bath of extremism violence and counter-violence and bloodshed let's not sort of diminish it only to you the united states is there

israel obviously there is also an international community and you cannot say that it has entirely turned a blind eye to what has happened and number of countries have recalled their ambassador is the u.n. human rights spokesman called the monday violence appalling a deadly the europeans including the russians expressed condemnation do you think though this reaction is proportionate to what has happened as you pointed out more than sixty people killed on the one day and more than twenty seven hundred injured well first of all we appreciate the support of the international community to support those countries will stood tall and stood trial the to shoulder with the palestinian people in their moment of sadness and darkness it was too tall to condemn the masses are only massacres and war crimes being committed here and that i think the majority of the nations of the earth have expressed their condemnation of such acts then out of the condemnation what do we do about it what do we do about it since.
