just watch list the next minute they're not then they're going to do now is impossible to know who is good and who is bad in that side of that conflict well it seems like whenever you know it works for the mainstream media these major outlets since they get to control the whole narrative there and it's when it works for them yeah that's we see over and over. it was according to newsweek the just to point this out another rugby available source did newsweek both the twenty seventeen attack and con and the two thousand and thirteen attack and are considered unsolved unsolved in the eyes of the defense department and defense intelligence agency. and this is after secretary of defense james madison admitted the u.s. know it has no evidence that syrian government used there and in the attacks and we have robert many reporters have been as and i think it's increased ratably dishonest to continue to pretend as if they have facts and they have all the of sources and they don't give them to people it causes people their lives to some

or sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what. one of them is on the death row there's no way you could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around a corner. the controversial mix of sports and politics is an old one here in the united states from jackie robinson to mohammad ali a colleague caprona one of the basic roots of political controversy in sports has been an athlete's right to free speech doesn't end of
8:04 am
a. will lose their right to protest the moment they get paid to put on a bounce a basketball or catch a baseball here in the united states in the age of president trump the debate over free speech in sports has reached a chorus shanda from n.f.l. players taking you neal taking a need to ring the national anthem then be a championship team is refusing to make the annual celebratory trip to the white house now this week e.s.p.n. commentator janelle hill and the sports network reached a biodegrade met after their relationship between the sports commentator and the disney own network soured after she called trump a white supremacist for his actions following the tragedy and charlottesville last year and suggest fans boycott dallas cowboys advertisers after team owner jerry jones threatened the bench players who didn't stand up here to discuss hill and the issues of free speech race and pro sports a pro sports is author educator and speaker baltimore's own do you watch it it's. always a pleasure if you want i want to start with your take you know hill yes but you
8:05 am
know reports of the bios of mutual agreement they both came to agreement it wasn't just been firing or anything like that but was this e.s.p.n. essentially in a way kind of buying her silence at least from her merry way we don't want you here we're just going to pay you to go away so first and foremost e.s.p.n. is you know i feel like they're spineless because in the political arena in pop culture we are included in everything sort of fact that these political commentators you know they don't want them talking about politics is crazy because you know they're commentators but they're citizens as well so you know i think their attempt to silence her was i think it was really really bad i think it's bad for the network and it's bad for sports in general and i think you know people who are really into sports and watch the network a lot be know they have a connection with e.s.p.n.
8:06 am
so. do you want to know about different things. in dealing with the commentators because their job is so personal their personality comes out in their work. but i ask you because this is the question of whether or not this really was a sort of a violation of our free speech so do you think this was a natural violation of our constitutional right to free speech or it was simply sort of as we often say like do you have freedom of speech you don't have freedom from the consequences of that speech is this the consequence of her speech because of her platform it's definitely it's definitely you know related to what she said you know i feel like you know jamal here is. she's an amazing journalist she's an amazing reporters she was one of the best people that e.s.p.n. showcased so you know what they did was they lost a person that was very talented very very great for their company but at the same time. you know i feel like she should want to be there anyway because if you know
8:07 am
you're going to like try to move her around or you know or silence her or have her take different positions in the company because she says something that was very honest she could donald trump a white supremacist as he is like me a minute when he says it himself in his actions in how you handles it how he governs like you see it so i feel like if you disagree with that you can debate it in a way that's respectable but you know get rid of her if. i thought it was bad you know it's interesting because she you know kind of came to the mutual buyout with e.s.p.n. which i think is you know there's members thrown out there who knows for sure that her to you know it could be like six million dollars that she got you know but essentially paid out to leave her contract with another anchor there or you know commentator there michelle beadle spoke you know she's an e.s.p.n. host who spoke out against the n.f.l. in college football football's treatment of domestic abuse and treatment of women you know. what's interesting is is she vowed i will never watch the n.f.l.
8:08 am
or college football again which them severely handicaps you know her ability as an analyst on the s.b. end of year only should only go into the n.b.a. but she essentially was given a contract extension and then was assigned you know reassigned to a different show that just dealt with the n.b.a. rather than the n f l. it's interesting seeing how your screen handled these two it's the same thing as two different anchors speaking their minds but one got a contract extension to move to a show that more suited her and what she wanted and the other was very let's just pay you six million dollars you can leave your why you think we're seeing that yeah i would even like. issue because you can be a network that's going to advocate for domestic violence you know that's just as you know as you would you would like to think that these networks will want to see you know want to be more progressive especially since their viewership is so
8:09 am
diverse you would think that they would champion that but. yeah the difference in those two cases is you know politics are dirty and if you're if your friends are ones who buddies with the network or if you have one of your employees is saying something that a whole lot of huge segment of the fan base isn't really trying to hear you know. you don't get any rewards for being honest so you don't get rewarded for speaking the truth you get you get blackbaud and. that's why i said we got to take time to champion people when they do you guys do all of the time and it's not it's not easy to be truth teller if you paid a consequences out of it but you know i champion both of those women for stepping up and i will do that you know i will do that one of the things about. that i noticed was this idea that what came out after she had made a tweet you know. which i think it's hilarious that that's literally that all of this came out of a tweet
8:10 am
a tweet. less than one hundred forty characters on the internet and the whole world like loses their mind when he bumped it up to zero. dollars but the president oh yes. you know his is sort of narrative on this is that we're a sports station we're not a poll. logical station i don't know about. theory but that it's a sports station we're not political but that's anybody who's ever watched e.s.p.n. who's ever watched you know a sports owner any of that knows that that they don't there's a lot more to sports than just what happens on the field and they talk about it it's intertwined the history of sports you know like we were talking about muhammad ali all of these sports has a pool it's political whether they want to believe it or not because the people who watch it is us that are so diverse so do you think this idea of the e.s.p.n. is just going to do sports it will never talk about anything political do you think
8:11 am
that's even possible to attain i mean you know the question that i would you know take from what you just said is what happens when you know a citizen is treated in a way that upsets of the athlete and the athlete decides to do some type of. political protests you taken out of sports right there so are you going to report that when you see the lebron james and his fellow teammates with hoodies that represent trayvon martin or breve t. shirts. to on earth god they're going to report that you want to skip past that and go straight to the game why are we getting so bent out of shape or is different sports teams trying to make at least for the national anthem you're not going to report that you don't all of these things it's one holistically so why can't commentators be people like the athletes get a chance to be people like we are do you know i mean thing is i have never exact i've never seen an e.s.p.n. commentator a male yes and commentator stop himself from talking about how calling proper
8:12 am
americans just a terrible you know a terrible player and that's why he didn't like they made excuses for domestic violence i've seen them make excuses for these things so i think a little let's remember some of this you know what up until just a few short years ago the you know you get the n.f.l. with the biggest leagues in the world you know getting. was paying the military to promote patriotism they wanted to hear about the military by the military that worked patriotism you know and that was finally put to a stop but you can't you can't have it both ways you can't on one hand be like hey you know pay us so we will like you know promote militarism of the jets fly by and do all that which is very political you can't get around that you can saluting the flag is a political act and there are you know we've got to remember that standing up for the national anthem that's a political act you know so you can't be e.s.p.n. i don't begin to have a both ways now what's also interesting is before we go as i want to get this last thing speaking about police practicing their politics is the. n.b.a. m.v.p.
8:13 am
. stuff on curry wrote an essay this week on sexism in the gender pay gap and he talked a lot about how it has to do with you know his wife and his daughters and he said quote i grew up in a war as wife and daughters and wants them to grow up in a world where their gender does not feel like a rule book for what they should be or do and he wants them to grow up believing that they can dream big and strive for careers and a lot of and be treated fairly and of course be paid equally are we seeing a revolution take place in the way athletes are stepping up i mean we've seen it now. in football the copper nickel that we're seeing a revolution in athletes and in stepping up and voicing their opinions more than we've seen in the past says about inequality yeah absolutely because you know steph curry took it a step. a step beyond just publishing a se he taught a basketball with two hundred young ladies this summer and it is unheard of for one
8:14 am
of the top n.b.a. players one of the top male n.b.a. players to run it can fall young woman that's revolutionary in its own right so you know i know some people from my feel like what he's saying is that enough to make camp is that enough but it's a great start in a culture that's extremely toxic where people probably encourage him to not speak out on things like that to not say that you know the n.b.a. should have a woman the coach which is. should by now or not you know champion any of these causes that are hurting people because you should just be quiet and dribble like that means it already said yeah you know you should just do that so i think. you know these are big shout out for that hopefully we can continue to will forever and it's interesting seeing that i haven't seen politics some sports there's going to have to had a deal there sooner twined probably since my dad talked about it back and like the sixties and seventies for you guys holding up the first of the olympics to mahbub ali you know ya know perceptually the boxing championship you're not you know not going to vietnam and all that so it's an interesting story that's going to continue
8:15 am
to develop do you always want thank you for coming on always a pleasure having you on the wife of yours. ok sue neutron stars are what happens when the core of a star dies they pack about twice the mass of our sun into a space just twelve miles across and as those gravitational waves pull orbital energy away from the stars they get closer and closer like you saw and then they collide sending jets of particles out which then creates this ultraviolet optical in near infrared light scientists call killa nova and those come on over as maybe a way for alien life to contact us yet through so a study from yuki. physicists that the curator university in japan has and his team theorized that a technologically advanced alien civilization could predict one of these neutron star mergers and produce a signal near it so when we look for the killing of us we just started finding them we might see
8:16 am

8:18 am
evil as a viable from somewhere you know. i came back to the community and people we'll be standing on the road look at me all look at his own bible don't torture him. for. this. and i. say. she's going to receive money doesn't that give us all that. if you don't. know we're going to this. does the five thousand plus a top mean in my life. have to die. but
8:19 am
in saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and that point rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only. camera. roughly once they showed some leave for them.
8:20 am
uncool videos and so on with the roughly string of apps. going down more. roughly don't t.v. . up stories here when the last terrorist stronghold in syria is surrounded as to the what may well be the final showdown in the country's long war. a palestinian activist from norway claimed she was hit twice in one week by israeli soldiers firing rubber bullets in the west by. the u.k.'s women's minister victoria adkins comes under fire after expressing concern over the rising number of children and wishing to change. puberty. children.
8:21 am
don't make these decisions about. without very very serious. morning on wednesday here in moscow this international news team here rounding up your top global story. the last stronghold of rebel groups in syria the northern province of. by the syrian army with a decisive battle looming civilians off fleeing the area through humanitarian corridor or set up by the syrian government and russia.
8:22 am
and i asked him then why did they get a minute since we're holding him since hostages it was cold in our counting men's here in tanzania crossing some of this humanitarian courage to isn't something. again i am from either the conditions were dire there the militants don't let anyone go we escaped with just the clothes on our backs controlling it libya's militant group high at all shot formerly known as al nusra or al qaeda in syria the group is viewed by russia and america as a terrorist organization and has carried out of vast number of atrocities the group's chief as warned all other factions against taking part in any talks with damascus our weapons are the source of our strength and thinking about surrendering
8:23 am
to the enemy and handing over weapons will be considered treason as tensions mount in italy but the russian center for syrian reconciliation says it has received intelligence on the delivery of toxic substances to the province with the help of the white helmets to later be used in staging a false flag attack russia has previously warned that militants are preparing to stage a chemical attack on t.v. but i guess the if has more on the potential escalation of the situation in italy. it is shaping up to be the end a last showdown between jihad ists and the syrian army it is the last remaining stronghold of islam istead rebels what's worse is the foreign power buildup in the region out of the blue u.s. cruise missile delivery systems guided missile destroyers strategic bombers a re basing and dropping anchor near syria days after the u.s.
8:24 am
and its allies warned that take action if chemical weapons are used by as sad as we have demonstrated we will respond appropriately to any further use of chemical weapons by the syrian regime and russia which is beefing up its own presence warns that it's the islamists that are planning just that the u.s. continues to expand its presence of cruise missile carriers in the middle east which is connected to the preparations for another false flag incident allegedly involving chemical weapons russian reports of u.s. military buildup in the eastern med and nothing more than propaganda it's not true that does not mean however that we are prepared to respond should the president direct such an action the united states denies building up its forces but says it's ready to attack syria if need be the good news is that russia and the united states are also apparently in talks to prevent any potential use of chemical weapons but
8:25 am
the danger remains the worst case scenario and international escalation militarily the rebels stand little chance against the syrian army what could save them is a foreign intervention caused by for example a staged chemical attack syrian armed forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them there is no military necessity for it to snuff enough for the russians to assert that the syrians have no chemical weapons sensible people will not. militarily useless means to draw the fire of three powerful countries upon themselves we have no information about chlorine being delivered to consider it as an invitation so the rebel groups to stage another chemical attacks as they did it in the east and that is what happened last time say the russians they staged the incident in ghouta that led to a us french and british cruise missile barash against syria.
8:26 am
these time what with the military build up the stakes and reask of an escalation will be much higher but it hasn't begun yet there will be a big conference on friday but chances of a peaceful resolution look slim the russian reconciliation center has been trying to broker a deal but the jihad ists remain defiant what's the deal is that there is many is two million civilians immediately trapped between the hardest and the syrian army if talks fall through or chemical weapons are used if this battle drags on civilian
8:27 am
casualties will soar not to mention the danger of an international escalation but escalation is imminent how that develops we don't know whether it goes. very fierce in the form of very fierce confrontation between. on one side and its allies and syrian army and its allies on the other side we don't know we hope that it goes as it went in other areas. like most recently dying southern syria we are faction leaders understand that this is a force that they cannot. compete with or fight effectively and they see if their people and their cities a lot of destruction and death in that case you know people could go back to under government control as soon as possible and to normality basically as soon as possible and we understand that many of them are hoping to achieve such
8:28 am
a feat. of palestine that solidarity activist from norway claims she's been hit with rubber bullets fired by israeli soldiers twice in one week she called one of the incidents on camera. as you pointed out. you were asked by an elderly man if he could accompany him to get his car back that israel is taken as an economic shield so they had to do it in front of them there is nothing happening at the moment so we decided to go with them and leave or approaching the idea. with our hands in the air and the postilion and he walked a little bit faster than the so he reached down and we held back and i think you
8:29 am
can see very clearly from the show that i got my hands in the air filming and there's no one around me and they shot me. solution where they shot me on purpose another person from crawford quadroon he was hit and i had not so long ago and he lost sight in one eye and news also unable to close his jaw i've been to the protests five four or five on four or five previous occasions so i knew they would be firing rubber coated steel bullets and tear gas which they had before but always stayed to the side or at the back of the demonstrations under a snap server to to witness what is happening. but of course there is a risk when attending anything that's where the i.d.f. is kristen foster claimed she was first hit in the stomach while standing with her hands right and later in the same week while being against a wall shot in the yank all the while rubber coated steel bullets as soon as
8:30 am
non-lethal injuries they inflict can be severe particularly when fired at close range the forty three year old norwegian activist has been supporting palestinian protesters on what they describe as occupation not their land by israel. now the israeli army told r.t. that force have been standing among rioters at the time who had been violent towards its soldiers it says it will investigate forced herself says the palestinians are being subjected to violence on a continual basis i think it's nearly one hundred people have been shot with live ammunition over the years. hundreds have been shot by these bullets that i was shot with had been tear gas that had skunk water into their houses but they're not getting any attention the are here to witness what is happening and share it with the world and hopefully some someone will you know get some attention on. the u.k. is that women's minister victoria africans.
