it's be a serious price to pay if red lines across and today the united kingdom asks its allies to go further by calling on the european union to ensure its sanctions against russia comprehensive and that we truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the u.s. to different hearings on capitol hill about russia's supposed one line actions now the two things named are u.s. alexion meddling and the poisoning in britain of survey and uli a screen poll with nova chalk now no proof has ever been presented ongoing efforts to interfere in our sacrosanct election process seize and those of our allies are just some of the unacceptable behaviors of the putin regime putin wants to break apart the american republic russia's attempts to interfere in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election are well and widely known russia has undertaken a campaign of malign activities in its attempt to compete with us our allies and our partners and that's a two thirty one gives us more tools with which to respond now all the voices agree
12:31 pm
that russia has never yielded in the face of sanctions in the past however they say that the answer is more sanctions just because they can the bread and brazenness of russia's malign conduct demands a firm and vigorous response our actions are imposing an unprecedented level of financial pressure on those supporting the kremlin's malign agenda and on heath sectors of the russian economy now the second round of sanctions is due to be imposed in november why well everyone knows that russia will meddle in the upcoming midterm elections the same people spinning spurious narratives about meddling in the past are now predicting the future when we talk about russian interference it's not just past elections that we're worried about clearly the russians know that the us is on guard at this point they were successful to a degree in two thousand and sixteen we. i think that they're adopting this as
12:32 pm

12:33 pm
up their own shortcomings their own short changing of the american people and to try the blame our divisions and our economic crisis and our racial divide here on an outside power which is the oldest trick in the book going back to the beginning of civilization if the democrats lose or do not do as well as they hope in the november election having used rusher again as their as their main talking point they may have to readjust and realize that the progressive wing of the party is growing and that the american people don't give a damn about russia and that they have to finally address the real issues here and leave this russia issue alone and get back to normal relations with this country that is that it's imperative for. for world peace essentially. holidaymakers on their way to the russian resort of sorts got her start to their break when their plane's engine burst into flames to you two for just left the russians to be of booth when it had to make an abrupt a bite turn more than two hundred people were on board at the time of the incident

12:38 pm
whether something is appropriate. but even so you get in the lots of these killings that have been happening recently i like ten minutes so we are from my hoax they came up with the wrong timing with this not only that is this something appropriate they should be making because yes this by the club as we know it is by the club is right there's many stories you can go into i'm biased by the club on this one just seemed to be more military look i don't think this was a great idea you should get stuff why would we should just upgrade why you have better we place what are you hiding from us i mean we also got some more public reaction to this take a look. could be sort of a sportsman like a climber. could be also a terrorist my immediate reaction is terrorists first so it's a bit scary. but at the same time as i do scary it might be just sports equipment

12:43 pm
working at the center as soon as something happens everything is done to protect the refugees they always have an excuse because of their difficult past many refugees and sold to threaten the stuff but nobody says anything on condition of anonymity workers also complained to local media that a colleague was attacked with a chair leg when we reached out to police brussels for clarification they confer and they'd been called by the center but stopped short of giving any details we. yes indeed we have already intervened at this center the response teams were called three times over the past week in situations like these there are issues either between migrants or between the migrants and the organization itself they do not respect the rules or that sort of thing and that sparks conflict the ngo running the facilitating say so they haven't received any complaints from the workers at the center and says it fulfills its mission well. i've been working on the ground
12:44 pm
for three years now and i literally have never seen anyone attack a woman they're obviously mentally ill people hold others then the tension rises. but i have never heard any threats to this belgium case isn't an isolated one and a volunteer group here in france that helped migrants claimed they had faced similar issues from the beginning our mission was to serve hot drinks and bread and we've done this for twenty months every day during the last month we started questioning our mission because we don't want to volunteer to be put in danger they have nothing not even tends to sleep on the ground and so. times woken up by the police in the morning they can't women use tear gas to move them so when they come to us they're stressed and nervous twice last week we had to stop serving food to let the tension calm down this is something new for us so yes we are stopping officially some sixty two thousand refugees have crossed a military team to arrive in europe this year it's not quite the crisis numbers of
12:45 pm
twenty fifteen but the problem still exists and isn't going anywhere soon very few notion after. watching r t international this week marks the sixty fifth anniversary of the u.s. sponsored coup in iran in moments watching the hawks get to grips with the implications of those days when. the beginning let me say something up ahead. of me in the for. ya single you have you discussed this with your talking to the still. cannot. get one on the esteem in which i do something.
12:46 pm
and that a lot of that i didn't ask to come out i scared but i'm going up the same as i can and i was up the money into the magazine bag and it. was hanging up on me i left my. home i. just say to. the school yeah right so this is a long long. long tough fight to be made by. other people more dumped on whose life was on the up front. was what. i. feel. so sad. i. was.
12:47 pm
reading some salutation. on the state of u.s. foreign policy john bolton the current national security adviser recently lamented the we once had a capacity for clandestine efforts to overthrow governments i wish we could get those back well mustache johnny is probably roasting model weenies and popping champagne bottles in the styles of this week is because august nineteenth marks the
12:48 pm
sixty fifth anniversary of one of the most notorious acts of meddling in twentieth century history a cia sponsored plan and instigated coup in iran after years of being labeled conspiracy theorist quackery in two thousand and thirteen the cia finally admitted its responsibility along with britain's m i six for orchestrating the nine hundred fifty three cooed saw the removal of the democratically elected iranian prime minister mohammad mosaddegh from power and replacing him with the brutal and violent shaw muhammad of the lobby all of this of course in the name of protecting western oil interests you see move that could committed that most heinous of international crimes he he nationalized the british anglo iranian oil company how horrible horrible it's an evil of him given his country's most valuable natural resources back to his people i mean as crazy. tragically the nineteen fifty three crew and agree just act of war and superpower meddling is still causing blowback to
12:49 pm
this day in fact this week so iran unveil a new domestically manufactured biter jet in response to the united states crippling sanctions and president trumps chest thumping hostility towards the country or any and president rouhani stated at the end veiling the enemy should see how expensive an invasion of iran would be why does not the us wage a military attack on us because of our power you see this fear of us aggression is rooted in that fifty three despite despite what recent ben affleck movies teach us about modern world history. you see there is no such thing as what about it's only context when you are watching. but if you look at the. real thing. at the bottom. like you know that i got.
12:50 pm
the. welcome aboard watching the hawks i am tired robot and i'm happy for a while it's so yeah. many years later here we are and people wonder why i ran a such a big deal why why is there all this hostility why was the nuclear gala why did they work so hard to have that and why does that matter event that we just sort of quit the whole thing and move done a lot of history a lot of history sixty five year anniversary and i don't remember a time i remember when you would talk about us involvement in the removal of the crew and people would be like that is crazy conspiracy theory talk how dare you mention that we would never ever do anything like that and the cia would never do
12:51 pm
anything like the number of our intelligence services and community they would never was it all happened to me and them or was it for some of them. but then in twenty thirteen they finally admitted yeah we were pretty much we orchestrated that we did that there was no doubt of themselves here but don't worry i was so creepy about it is they treated back read and look you know they still do today they treat it as a normal part of like foreign diplomacy the formerly excise section of internal history entitled the battle for iran was really supportive thirteen and little a. ali says the military coup that overthrew most of the of his national front but it was carried out under cia direction as an act of u.s. foreign policy conceived in approved at the highest levels of government human eisenhower signed off on this one. just act of foreign policy that's not only smaller than meddling that's an act of war that is his foreign policy raising him
12:52 pm
saying no no you elected this guy as your leader we don't like him so we're going to put him back and i mean there's no magic i just got it into perspective what i'm justin trudeau down here and the canadian army is came in and said you know what trump that's it dragged him out of office and said no we're going to put somebody else and go put out would be ludicrous right there any if any other country tried to do that to united states it would be especially if they have the ability to control the media the way the cia correct yes so here's the thing about it wasn't just controlling what was going on on the ground in iran you have to control the narrative back home and so in all the august seventeenth of nine hundred fifty three the c.i. a there was a memorandum that revealed. how they were able to sort of trick the public into thinking certain things were of a certain way that weren't entirely true in that memo they stated state has passed the word to v.o.a.
12:53 pm
which is west of america and instructed its own press relations people to avoid using such terminology as plot etc. you know but we don't do most of the ideas you get voice of america which is you know a government funded u.s. government funded outlet to purposely make sure that the narrative didn't make it look like a coup d'etat to make it look as if it just magically happened in the u.s. didn't have any involvement in it and the central intelligence agency which i don't know when they became an arm of the military. they're suddenly going on internet things and then we know later. all ram in the united states this is not the beginning nor the end of this issue oh no it's because when we see it years later and there's a lot more very foul things that keep happening all the time yeah you know what thomas carruthers of the carnegie endowment for international peace actually argues today in that same sort of tone is that. unlike russian electoral matter
12:54 pm
meddling u.s. democracy promotion does not favor particular candidates or undercut the technical integrity of elections on the whole. distance exercise their basic political and civil rights. i think that's kind of crazy but i think what honestly you can't end this segment about iran with no mention what happened to iranian oil company which is what all of this was over that they were going to private they basically nationalize their oil that later became be peaceful marriage and if that would have stayed in iraq. we never would have had the b.p. oil spill probably. in a rare event u.s. politics someone is actually being held accountable for their decisions while in office on monday this week michigan judge david goggins ordered the state health director neck lion to stand trial for his actions during the flint water crisis line is accused of involuntary manslaughter for failing to alert the public of a legion errs disease outbreak that is believed to have led to the deaths of two
12:55 pm
citizens artie's actually banks as more. nicholai in michigan state health director is being accused of failing to alert the public to flynn's water crisis why in phases and voluntary manslaughter charges in the deaths of two men who died from a legionnaires disease outbreak in flint he also faces charges on misconduct in office and the willful neglect of duty lyons is denying any wrongdoing however judge david goggins says these deaths could have been prevented if the outbreak had been publicly known despite lyons pending trial michigan governor rick snyder is sticking by him snyder issued a statement saying he has quote full faith and confidence and will remain on duty. as unless convicted of a crime after a full trial by a jury of his peers snyder in lyon announced the outbreak in january twentieth sixteen although lyon knew there were legionnaires he says being reported months
12:56 pm
earlier experts say the outbreak was caused by the flint water crisis back in two thousand and fourteen however attorneys for alliance say there isn't enough evidence linking look christ says to the legionnaires outbreak the crisis began on april twenty fifth two thousand and fourteen when the state emergency manager decided to switch the city's water source from the detroit water system to the flint river and order to cut costs during the summer months residents began complaining about a foul smell as well as side effects they experience after drinking and be thing in the water. many residents were then faced with a legionnaires outbreak and in the months to follow many officials would have faced charges for their role of not properly addressing the crisis lyon is the highest ranking michigan official charge and an investigation led by the attorney general's office fourteen other current and former state and local officials have been
12:57 pm
charged with crimes related to either the legionnaires outbreak or lead in the water four of them have agreed to misdemeanor plea deals while the remaining cases are still active unlike these other employees the lions and one other official have been allowed to remain on the job despite facing criminal charges and washington ashley banks art. or you talk about one of the worst black eyes in the history of the many black eyes that we've. got to be up there and our federal government's complete lack of reaction or as if well it's your problem that is what really got me you know it's that thing of going went where was obama where were you where were the progressives where were those people who say no we're going to do something about those and nothing happened nobody second a responsibility that's all that passed the bar the bar pass a budget and you know they wouldn't give them any money to fix that they would give
12:58 pm
money to fix that what's interesting is people who are hungry for people to not to go to take the fall to be held accountable for their failure as government officials and in fact when the judge announced this decision there was a woman in the chambers who actually yelled out yes yes yes you know i mean there are there that are hungry for somebody to be held accountable for what happened yeah you know and like to say there was at least ninety cases of legionnaires' occurred and genesee county including twelve and more than half the people have this common thread that they had spent time with mclaren hospital with what was on the floor water system. and that's probably what's going to be argued in this trial you know all right and that's what lions attorney is going to argue with that he didn't mesh a war and that's what we've heard again and again that he dition didn't initially warns that ascends about the possibility because he didn't know for sure and they were a little confused about where the legionnaire status is coming from which i'm sure is they didn't want to say it was from the water and it was related to that here's
12:59 pm
my problem you have a duty as a public official that when there's legionnaires disease going around you tell people i don't care what what causes it i don't care who is alien from mars it is you still let people know that they might be at risk of contract and we generic and it's kind of the first step in accountability attorneys general spokesman angela byt he told the media. we're not looking to as a winner last we're looking at today as the first step in the next step for justice in the moms kids dads flint and that's important because the flint so it still doesn't have clean water and you've got to take that first step in just a few hours as we go to break called watchers don't let us don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered up facebook and twitter and see our poll shows that are t.v. dot com coming up prisoners across the united states have gone on strike today we talked to prison the four marcus stroman steel about their demand stay tuned to watch the.
