it's a long shot even follow up convicted felons are banned from running for office and electoral court is expected to declare him in alledge of zero in coming weeks lou is not going to be able to run what he's trying to do is to increase as much as possible support for the workers' party and then so he wants to keep that alive his candidacy is alive for as long as possible and then at the last minute when he's no longer possible transfer all of that support that he is building up currently to his vice presidential running mate running mate which is his favored candidate to replace him if he can't run and again that fernando who was the mayor of san pablo and is not popular at all while things look unpredictable now one thing a certain election season and brazil has an incentive twist just yet and in a question our team we spoke to the president's lawyer who told us little silver is to get on the campaign trail proper it is hard of course in prison.

during the weekends for instance he's in nice elation because there's no contact even with any of his lawyers he's not allowed to have contact with his family and there and he's only allowed. visitation sprue week. friends it is hard but he's writing a lot he's sending directions in writing of course it is hard because he's not he's doesn't have access to interviews he's not able to answer any of the of the exemptions that other candidates make make against him is not able to defend himself to do or the country which is what he really desires to be with the people and to explain his age and he's you know new ideas before the future of the country . before my first minister of scotland alex salmond has taken the country's government to court and claims it's. ari into his alleged sexual misconduct is

illegal the case revolves around allegations of sexual harassment made about i was by two star has since been passed over to the police of the incumbent first minister nicola sturgeon who's a close ally of simon says she wants to see the investigation move ahead even though it could have undesirable ramifications for her party for my party this will be extremely upsetting to members of the s.n.p. up and down the country it's a difficult situation but what is important is that complaints are treated seriously regardless of who the person complained about it is i can confirm that the scottish government receives two complaints in january in relation to an exam and mrs hammond was notified of the complaints in march and phoned to mr simons and the people involved on wednesday august the twenty second of my conclusions and the time i was considering the public interest in making the fact of the complaints an

investigation publicly known i know is that the full methodist minister has indicated his intention to challenge the action taken by the scottish government this goes as government will defend its position the gristly the allegations made against sam and pertain to events that allegedly occurred back in twenty thirty the former first minister has flatly denied the claims calling the government's complaints process unfair and unjust we did speak to him about the case. i saw a few through the complaints that were made against me by that i have sued didn't i only semblance of criminality so when you have such things you need a process which is both confidential and fear and most reasonable people understand that and what i'm not frightened of going to the highest court in the law and to establish that it seems the scottish government looks a bit shaky in their position you know everything like this the pains of having a fair show having a fear of china. and overfed the scottish government process doesn't do that he

don't get to see the evidence you don't get to present your own case i was barred from speaking to any civil servant many of whom incidentally have texted me today saying why didn't you come to us to support your position well the reason is i was banned from doing that by miss leslie evans the family sent to the scottish government i wasn't allowed to contact them directly so if you can't present your own case you've got an unjust process. these investigations depend on could vent cadenza confidentiality if you don't have that then how and there are people going to have the confidence to complete in future because not just about the person complained of oh it's the confidentiality of the complainants and the scottish government would break you that cover then gelati so we told them and to not make that statement because we were taking the action in the court of session but there's an extraordinary situation when the scottish government starts to break its order confidentiality after the shooting everybody connected with this that that

was going to be absolutely protected for the process. well let's understand what's unique about the scottish government process of talking about events of many years ago when i'm not or a serving scottish government minister not even an m.p. an m.s.p. at the present moment and therefore it's really important if you try and introduce such a retrospective procedure you make sure that the passenger who is being complained of it has the opportunity to properly present the case the scottish government's been making the position look the should apply to everybody including former first ministers i absolutely agree and everybody including former first ministers and everybody in the land is intitled to a fear of process and a chance to state the case fairly what could be wrong with that but no you know we're a say the only good i can see coming out of this is we're on our way to the court of session that's a real court. real judgment fear of process is they all made the decision and then

will have to bite but all right so china has reportedly decided to wait and see what happens with trump before engaging in any possible trade talks with him and that story in the mix of your other stories in just a. the future are laws that say that collapsed when the soviet union collapsed because the us meddling in boris yeltsin and all that's going on they had this skyrocketing alcoholism and so shoulder. here in the us because you have this enormous

financial and reengineering to take all the money being printed and put in the pockets of a few folks and leave the vast majority in a state of zombification this is the collapse gap he was talking about the us and the soviet union both collapsed in the one thousand nine hundred ninety period it just took a stake in the us as he describes it you no longer to realize that collapse. is no good to have you with us today all recent tweet suggest donald trump is eager to engage in fresh trade talks with china it appears beijing is less keen amid talk of possible impeachment reports now say the chinese are waiting until after the

u.s. mint to see how things pan out for the american president. and explains trade talks between the usa and china have failed again now trump would like to push all the blame on to beijing however the situation don't mess to clean might have more to do with the chinese state media is openly arguing the trump is using the trade wars and tariffs as a gimmick in order to win political support troops are likely to feel it's a cool headed mid-term elections the me term elections are one of the key reasons the us has maintained a tough stance towards china needless to say china is not eager to play into trump's hand officials there ever portably said that they are suspending the talks until after the mid. term vote it makes pretty good sense for china to cancel the talks until after november why because if the midterm vote doesn't go in trump's favor it could be more than congress that's up for change i don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a great job if i ever got

a ph i think the market would pressure i think everybody would be very poor might think trumps playing with fire by saying i'm doing a good job don't impeach me especially when it's pretty clear that the i word is on everyone's mind you could say it's the talk of the town in washington d.c. could he be impeached with this impeach trump the idea of impeachment time for impeachment you could have been impeached impeachment is probably likely but there is i think a lot for the president to fear compared to the previous administration top seems to have done almost a one eighty when it comes to dealing with the people's republic of china we welcome. the peaceful rise of china consistent with international norms that's good for everybody we are being taken advantage of and i don't like it so you have to ask the question are those who talk about impeaching donald trump are really doing american businesses a favor after all the idea that donald trump might be packing his bags after november doesn't really put him in

a strong spot when it comes to practicing his art of the deal mantra the chinese have adopted if fairly strong it's not hard line position for the time being the chinese feel that they have been be treated and mr trump has not followed through on his word they had a joint statement and a consensus that north tariffs were going to be issued the china agreement collapsed within a week and of this point of time there's just no trumpet or no trust in his ward and i do not see. serious decisions and serious outcomes coming out from these discussions over the next couple of months china is holding on to beyond the mid-term elections and i think it's a very good strategy. but if i was there in moscow garza's health ministry says over one hundred eighty people were injured by israeli soldiers during protests on friday fifty of the wounded are said to have been hit with live ammunition israel

claims its actions were necessary to prevent the israel gaza barrier being breached by the demonstrators were throwing rocks and molotov cocktails at local correspondent reports palestinians are are protesting in solidarity with the palestinian paramedics and journalists that have been killed in the past few weeks of the great march of return. you see this is the keep the child. tear gas canisters on the palestinian protesters to disperse them and to keep them away from the fence you can also hear live ammunition where only one hundred meters away from the fence edwards very close and it's very very dangerous here.

also known as a little messy rail madrid's city or an author club captains in spain's top football league are poised to go on strike that's off the league officials signed a deal with an american company to host regular season matches on u.s. soil spanish founds aren't thrilled either at the prospect of having to fork out and fly out as aussies alexy to shove ski explains. shocker in spanish football real madrid and f.c. barcelona are not loved as much anymore by their home fans the opening games for the giants so the lowest stadium attendance for both in a decade with ryall you can try to attribute this to a certain number seven leaving the club for italy but leo messi is men are not used to seeing dwindling support at camp no or maybe fans voted with their feet because both games kicked off very late quarter past ten pm on

a sunday night madrid's german superstar tony cross could not hide his feelings on twitter to boot the timetable of the game so late ten o'clock even later worked at a. stand us too late for the children league bosses have now gone even further signing an agreement with american company relevant sports to have at least one game between spanish superclubs played on the u.s. soil yes you heard it right spanish domestic league played in the united states in miami to be precise and i was there last year at a sold out friendly version of al classical reale vs bossa where tickets to what essentially was an exhibition game started at a whopping three hundred dollars that would get you a season ticket for all home games at most spanish clubs but charlie still eternal owner of relevant sports told me that was not enough as someone turned to me when i was three to two and they were still going back and forth and up and down he said

maybe you should charge more for this. while the company claims the move would boost popularity of the game across the pond many believe it will only line corporate pockets at the expense of ordinary fans. one of the. that's not the issue but you've. got you've got some things that. they want to see the body parts are good. but all kids are suffering more than that they only think about money and imagine if that game thousands of kilometers away is decisive for winning the league or surviving in it and the spanish fans are not exactly the richest in the world that's why not only them but players themselves have been outraged the spanish football is association lumb bastid this deal in a statement and to add even more fuel to the fire the captains of all twenty league clubs you name is lee sad they could go on strike. go to the

end we unanimously against him and when we complain it's because we believe that our rights have been violated. that's enough so we can go until the end of the deal found shock waves across the old world with many in england fearing that the f.a. could follow in the league as footsteps it didn't help that silly town openly stated that he wanted to bring english football across the atlantic too and with the twenty twenty six world cup heading to north america you have to wonder what else is planned to raise the beautiful games popularity in the land of soccer alexy russia ski r.t. well thanks for sharing your saturday with us here at r.t. international twelve twenty five pm here in moscow plenty more stories for you at the top of the.

p.j.'s national camera. roughly once the showed some look for them. to joan cool videos and so mom with the broccoli string apps. down more on string i don't rightly don't t.v. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be illin the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we more executing innocent people is terrifying those just know it hasn't been that we want even many of victims families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to get pellet here is because that's

what murder victim's families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite you know we've been through this this isn't the way. cutter this is the kaiser report yes i looked up you from the dest because that's the way mainstream media anchors connote seriousness. i'm serious say a let's go to stacy. that's true is specially prevalent i've noticed on the b.b.c.

they always do that oh yeah i'm working i'm working oh hey hey. actually i have a headline here quick tweet about santa because we do often mock the corporate media but they did come through with quite an amazing piece and i don't know if it was just on their website c.n.n. dot com but the tweet is from tim schork and he says a graphic from c.n.n. identifying civilian massacres in yemen with the bomb makers raytheon lockheed martin and general dynamics this should be standard in war reporting searing images here's yemen and here is the various raytheon bomb that's the general dynamics bomb so that's pretty impressive that they did that you know they don't because they're typical of the war channel you know the company itself martin marietta was simultaneously running some advertisements for how socially conscious they are with little kids running around playing while they were at the same time you know dropping bombs on kids elsewhere yes they were sending around

a tweet saying send us your selfie so we'll put it as part of our thing and of course a sent a bunch of people son tend to them responses of children in yemen being blown out of how this town reporting before because it's obvious and people are on the ground they shall stop shots of flak you know pieces of shrapnel these bombs with filmmakers name on the bomb and whether it's phosphorous in l. from the u.s. showing up all over these war zones or here in yemen. has been kind of known for quite some time the us is in the u.k. our arms dealers sell those arms are going to show up somewhere so overseas we have these arms dealers and this horrifying graphic in new haven connecticut we have drug dealers which are pharmaceutical companies many of them private because they make so much money like that family in connecticut who sells oxycontin well here's a new wave of insanity the zombification of the american population and you can't

read this and think that something horrible horrible is going wrong here is the headline it's not just new haven mass k. to overdose symptom of national crisis at least ninety five people in new haven overdosed on the drug in two days a similar events become more common across the u.s. they call it a mass rapid fire overdose event ninety five people overdosed in the new haven connecticut on k two which is the synthetic marijuana they all like passed out in the green the new haven green right outside yale university one of the most prestigious ivy league universities in america where many of our presidents attend school there and it was a mass scary horror like it's a horror film right that's that's a classic scene from a horror film that people are just dropping the color falling out well you know what i thought of immediately was i want digress to lengthily at this moment but dimitri our last essay the collapse gap and when the soviet union collapsed because

of u.s. meddling and boris yeltsin and all that's going on they had the skyrocketing alcoholism and social toss trophy and here in the u.s. because you've had this enormous financial at reengineering to take all the money being printed and put in the pockets of a few folks and leave the vast majority in the state of zombification this is the collapse gap he was talking about the u.s. and the soviet union both collapsed in the one nine hundred eighty nine one nine hundred ninety perry. it just took a stake in the u.s. as she describes it you no longer to realize that collapse but for the same reasons and for the same kind of political machinations were saying the same results yet in the soviet union when they collapsed the institutions around you collapsed and you notice that the mainstream media will project the concerns of the elite and the elite often say that they explain russia gay as getting the american population to not trust institutions around them and i think what you're seeing is that there's

the institutions around them their entire society the fabric of the society has abandoned them but it hasn't it hasn't been as obvious and dramatic like since the financial crisis you could actually see this situation from two thousand and so from the crash of two thousand basically ever since i not only have incomes declined but rapidly but the wealth and income gap from two thousand really went out of control spiraled up to the top and something happened from that crash from how they dealt with it from the federal reserve something i mean this is for a bigger topic for a. bridge came up and whoever was on the inside is now left in the spine of yale university having a spontaneous zombification event courtesy of the pharmaceutical corporations and it's just so appropriate that yale is one of the primary institutions of elite. power so that basically they have to go to yale or harvard and those to

control so much of the fabric of our power centers so right outside yale and they also mention and this has been covered but it is still shocking to see these numbers and twenty seventeen drug overdoses killed nearly two hundred people in america per day according to the centers for disease control and prevention data released this week a new record driven by the deadly opioid epidemic since k two is first detected in the u.s. in two thousand and eight clusters of overdose. outbreaks have become more and more common about fifty six people overdose from k two in brooklyn i'm a one hundred overdose in lancaster county pennsylvania and july twenty seventeen and forty people overdose in dallas texas i'm a twenty fourteen so it's there aren't as many deaths from this key to but what happens is they have mass elucidations and they turn into like zombies and they just fall over in the middle of the intersection like those shows are sick coming out of hollywood the walking dead or verizon the movies various horror movies the

popular culture is reflecting the guise of the zombification of the american population and cashing in on the box office while the pharmaceuticals cash in the cash register while the politicians cash in on insider trading while the media cashes in on high ratings but unfortunately nobody in the real economy is cashing in they're all going bankrupt and here again like where in this crisis situation of the institutions failing the american population are a great majority of them the elites are concerned they recognize that the population does not have faith in the institutions and yet they're having faith and all sorts of stuff in fact that comes into this next paragraph because they're saying that you know this isn't that cannabinoid cannabinoid. marijuana but it's important they said it's the mix of different concentrations of other drugs that whoever the maker is puts in these and they say despite the mystery of each batch k

two is appealing to drug users because its cost is low it's chemicals aren't detected on standard drug tests that they might have to take out work and it's changing mixtures make law enforcement efforts more complicated than with pure drugs such as marijuana so despite the mystery of what they're about to take they're willing to take that they're willing to believe fake news they're willing to take a synthetic marijuana they're willing to take in. anything that might dull their pain now just a mystery substance and by being it's a lottery to oblivion and as an escape from the reality that their institutions their american institutions have turned them into chattel human chattel i think that's the right word yeah well there's a you know there's it's a great article because there's loads of quotes about how terrifying it was all these people dropping at all at the same time you know you're just on

a stroll through the the public green the public spaces a public area and people are just dropping as you're watching and i'm i don't want to you know get to you know controversial and whatnot but i mean this is been going on in the poor neighborhoods for quite some time yet what makes this newsworthy is that you know yell university that's not a poor neighborhood that's a rich neighborhood that's what makes it suddenly newsworthy and that's why they call it like spontaneous overwhelming counted in this syndrome but up until recently it would just be called not in that in this nobody would care because those folks were already marginalized meanwhile chicago where the advanced stages of this are taking place you've got wholesale slaughter going on of the murder rate skyrocketing that's the next step well here we have the people falling out as they call it now and the dean of the school of public health stand firm and said my fear is that the synthetic cannabinoids might be a new wave occupying the fire department the emergency room an e-mail you can imagine the pain and suffering the patient's family on the patients themselves is

quite a big burden on a small city it would be a big burden in a big city remember these are public health you have to treat these people because they might be dying and that yale university medical school which is one of the best in the entire united states very expensive this the city has to pay for the taxpayer has to pay for it so here we have this crazy situation where who are these taxpayers paying for this of the obama pair care folks are paying full boat like. a oh you me i'm supporting like a fountain cannabinoid addicted losers out sob yeah yeah yeah well this isn't no this is another this is the general taxpayer and this is important to note because this is going in to my final headline here which ties the first one where you're seeing the bombs drop in yemen links to lockheed martin linked to general dynamics linked to raytheon here big media companies are branching into health care here's why and they point to comcast remember where rachel maddow works

a member comcast cares well because of this sort of huge profits because remember we have we because we say we're capitalists so we can't fix any prices but we can force everybody to buy these prices where there's no limit to how much the health how much is going to cost you to walk into yale university medical so you and i could never go into yale medical into the emergency room because we would be stuck with a one hundred thousand dollar bill just for walking in there right somebody who passes out without any health insurance in the green well they're going to be treated in the taxpayer's going to pay for it so our taxes will pay for that but here you see these media companies you see all sorts of telecom all the all of billie's that run the media that run the telecoms there that run the internet so google facebook these people are getting into the health care this this racket of a system that we have like obamacare like this no cap so the medicaid costs like

they're getting in on it so they're pouring into it and that leaves the question of is it going to take all those years that c.n.n. that loves war they love the countdown to war right it took them all these years to finally say who's benefiting from it are they going to cover this health crisis in america if they're profiting from it now they won't contest obviously one of the evil corporations out there in the media space that no contest cares the contest there's no put like in a camera into people's kidney and then have a cop show. about watching people's kidneys get stolen live on air and because they're addicted to synthetic opiates but they'll won't do anything to stop it so they've taken the idea of. gruesomely pornographic lay watching america disintegrate and making a huge payday on that comcast and saturday night live and lorne michaels and all those guys thanks buddy you're killing us great job well we'll be back after the break so don't go away much more coming your way.

join me every thursday on the alex i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics for this i'm show business i'll see you then. none of them. i'm. not.
