overall. it was according to newsweek the just to point this out another rugby it all from the 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. now at has no evidence that syrian government used there and in the attacks and we have robert best there's 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 as some people that it is are those are going to break court watchers don't forget to let us know if you're the true problem facebook or twitter or your poll shows r t v dot com coming up we're talking biology with free speech and sports with deep water comes and discover a new way to communicate with a. stick to. i've

the controversial mix of sports and politics is an old one here in the united states from jackie robinson to mohammad ali a colleague one of the basic roots of political controversy in sports has been an athlete's right to free speech doesn't individual lose their right to protest the moment they get paid to put on pads 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 crescendo from n.f.l. players taking you neal gerrard taking a need to ring the national anthem the n.b.a. championship teams refusing to make the end you'll celebrate or a trip to the white house now this week e.s.p.n. commentators from al hill and the sports network reach to biodegrade meant 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 in charlottesville last

year and suggests fans boycott dallas cowboys advertisers after team owner jerry jones threatened the bench players who didn't stand very men actually 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's. always a pleasure of you although i want to start with your take go over your hill with your speech. all reports of the buyouts 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 anymore so 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 spot on list because in the political arena and 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 they know they have a connection with the s.p. and so they do want to know about different things. and dealing with the commentators because their job is so personal their personality comes out in their work. they ask you because this is the question of whether or not this really was a sort of a violation of their free speech so do you think this was an actual violation of her constitutional right to free speech or it was she 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 is definitely it's definitely you know be related to what you 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. going to try to move her around or you know or silence her or have her take different positions in the company because she said something that was very odd and she cut down with a white supremacist. is like me admittedly 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 getting rid of her if it was just i thought it was bad you know it's interesting because while she you know kind of came to the

mutual buyout with e.s.p.n. which i think is you know there's numbers thrown out the windows for sure other can you know it could be like six million dollars that she got you know but essentially paid out to leave her contract with them another anchor there are 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 would never watch the n.f.l. or college football again which them severely handicaps you know her ability as an analyst on e.s.p.n. if you're 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 he has been handled these two it's the same thing as two different anchors speaking their minds but one got a contract extension and moved to a show that more suited her and what she wanted and the other was a hey let's just pay you six million dollars you can leave your why you think we're

seeing that yeah i would even go. there on an issue because you can't be a network that's going to advocate for domestic violence you know that's just as you know and you would you would like to think that these networks want to see you know want to be more progressive especially since they have viewership is so diverse you would think that they would they would. but. yeah the difference in those two cases is you know politics so dirty and if you're if you're friends on the ones who are buddies with the network or if you have one of your employees this is something that a whole lot of huge segment of the fanbase isn't really trying to hear you know. you don't get any rewards to be honest so you don't get rewarded for speaking the truth you get you get blackbaud and you get that's why i said we got to champion people when they do you guys do all of the time and it's not it's not easy to be

true if you pay the 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. which i think it's hilarious that that's literally that all of this came out of a tweet 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 two eighteen zero zero zero but that's what. the president of e.s.p.n. . is on those you know his is sort of narrative on this is that we're a sports station we're not a political 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 piano is just going to do sports it will never talk about anything political do you think that's even. to attain the 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 the bathroom and the athlete decides to do some type of. violent 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 i can't breathe tee shirts. to on earth god they're not 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 intertwine holistically so why can't commentators be people like 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 you have ten commentator stop himself from talking about how calling crap or not that's 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 yes 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 were going to hear about the military by the military that works 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 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 you know we've got to remember that standing up for the national that's a political act you know so you can't be e.s.p.n. i don't begin to have it both ways now what's also interesting is before we go is i want to get this last thing speaking about police practicing their politics. n.b.a. m.v.p. . 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 grow 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 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 of the top n.b.a. players one of the top male n.b.a. players to run a camp for all young women 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 not you know champion any of these causes that are hurting people because you should just be quiet and dribble like that yet you know you should just do that so i think he definitely you know these are big

shout out for that hopefully we can continue to move forward and it's interesting seeing that i haven't seen politics some sports this go and had to have this inner twined probably since my dad talked about it back in like the sixty's and seventy's from you know guys holding up the first of the olympics to model the you know down up essential to the boxing championship you know you know not going to vietnam and all that so it's an interesting story that's going to continue to develop. do you always want thank you for coming on always a pleasure i'm going to be 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 killen over us and those who want novas may

be away for alien life to contact us yet through so a study from yuki. physicists at the kyoto university in japan has and his team theorized that it 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 a message from our cousins from another galaxy too because they could place it both before and after the event as as long as we remember not to respond to the alien stacks right away or they might think. oh he wants to have disappeared so pre-debate remember every one of. the most everybody lives in the fold we're not told real love the slide tell you all i love you i am tyrone and i found a lot of people are watching those hawks out there.

it was you know provision on my back when i wanted to. ask but i. owe. you for your height oh i lost his boss because i just got the. resources you know. anybody on a month all of those but the best honest i don't mean any of them. so now says you know what i was you know. you know this i'm your mother almost bought it i'm already but it was sped up part of me just going to. give it up as i might you know i mean really feels i just don't get it i'm getting worse but those were the almost. all of this but i was probably just.

my family fussy about my just but that's already yes it will be and he thought a good thing of it but i think with you just implementing my thought aloud problem you just got to go. in trump you know it's all about getting along and greatest ally friend russia you know play to good for the kids and you know if you open up and there's other things in yourself while we proceed here in the first half i'll just see what was going on. how. i got out of the mouth of the money that they let us in. this was

a good time to. try to move there i. finally had a lot of why not. again why all the people we believe will be here. bottom of ikea's i don't want them up with johnny but i are the other moment on account of mother having little nikki's there is a lot of them i'm in the white community old enough to want the people i don't want to put out the other party when i don't know their mother brother. for a man or sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all for a different version 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 they did not shoot around a corner. journalism finds itself in the media spotlight in the us after c.n.n. refuses to retract a trump collusion story even after the networks source backtracked on his most serious claims. also this hour more cracks emerging europe over the moderation issue as the french president says he's now the main opponent of the hardline anti moderate leaders of italy and hungary. and with the decisive battle looming over the last rebel stronghold in syria the russian foreign minister warns

that the us regime change than removing terrorists. in iraq and so are things that i asked a lot from moscow with me that hawkins review up today thanks for joining us this. c.n.n. is on the fire refused to retract a breaking story on collusion between donald trump and russia despite the news channel's source publicly withdrawing a significant claim the whole story was based on and we discussed this idea with. me here to tell you the nuts and bolts of the rush collusion storytelling we haven't gotten the use to the case when a number of media organizations come out with sensational stories because a number of anonymous sources tell them this and that but my question for you

is what happens if the anonymous source suddenly reveal his identity or says that he has made a mistake possibly the story was false perhaps you'd expect the outlet to take a step back at least consider some skepticism maybe make a correction or even take down the whole story altogether not if you're c.n.n. we stand by our story and are confident in our reporting of it and here is their original bombshell story from a month ago. sources with knowledge tell myself and call that michael cohen claims then candidate donald trump knew in advance about the june twenty sixth meeting in trump tower crucially these sources tell us that cohen is willing to make that assertion to the special counsel robert mohler so the big sin sation was that the president's former lawyer would tell american investigators that mr crump had known

about the infamous trump tower sit down featuring his son and the russians and sure that counts for a sensation as many people would take it as prove the collusion had been there well a few weeks later in the cold light he davis who was michael cohen's own attorney said. that he was one of c.n.n. sources be that he had made a mistake and see that his insight into this complicated matter had been misinterpreted in fact he even peered on c.n.n. several times later trying to reiterate that the reporting of this story. makes so michael cohen does not have information the president knew about the meeting with the russians beforehand or you know it would seem to me davis is comments he made that being completely ignored has says c.n.n.

taken any steps to defend its position to still run the story well first of all what i want to point out is that they did nothing to warn their audience that the story could have been false in fact what they did was they started attacking mr davis blaming him for changing his mind like the wind however when c.n.n. first broke the news about this thing based on a tip off from the sources mentioned that twenty davis couldn't comment on this. story now though we understand that their source and mr tabor this is the same person and what's the reaction been like from a u.s. journalists and other media outlets around the world and of course there are employer and shill media outlets slice of washington post or new york times who broke the story after c.n.n. and then they came out with a follower purports and they also included

a section with some sort of corrections they didn't say that the story was false altogether but at least they cast some sort of doubt and that was of course the moment when other journalists went to c.n.n. but the only thing the c.n.n. the said in response to their questions was we stand by a journalist and this story is still true because we heard it from multiple sources did we get any of these sources revealed by c.n.n. the answer is no and as i was saying this is how it sometimes works with the russian collusion stories but there could be a much bigger issue behind this kind of news climate one congressman from the republican party has claimed that serious people from the authorities the likes of the justice department could leak sensitive stuff to the media on purpose he says that this could be

a tactic to trigger and less rounds of probes we know that some people at the department of justice to the f.b.i. actually gave information to the media in the stories were reported then they use those reports to justify further investigations was it in soviet russia that the news was watching you and not the other way around a former cia officer right mcgovern says even if the story is restricted most of us would probably only remember the first impression of it being true. russia gate is the coin of the realm here if you have a story no matter how false you're out with it before anybody pays any attention to the sourcing we have a sleazy bunch of lawyers and i have to. pundits and reporters who now are caught in this web of misinformation. speaking at all kinds of euphemisms for lying i would suggest that if they do have another

source that to defend what's left of their reputation they need to serve up some information about this source but have as i say they have no imperative to do that because and at c.n.n. on a miss n.b.c. and the cable and also the other outlets this story will kind of peter out and what people will remember is the first impression namely comply and again. other headlines the french president spilled himself as a main opponent to the hard line anti migrant politicians currently holding power an incident hungry soft apparent you know wanted to fight existing e.u. migration policies and valve to take power into their own hands in the next elections for the european parliament auntie's shot at they're going to get reports from paris. we're seeing clear sides developing as we head towards the issue be elections in twenty nineteen but what we're seeing is the big divisions between the

leaders of e.u. nations where the money will not go the president of france declaring today that he would be in opposition to the leaders of italy aren't hungry for that's what they wanted and he would stand up against their policies. will be on the feet just because it is indeed clear that today there is a strong opposition between nationalists and progressives and i will not give anything away to nationalists and to those who deliver this hate speech and so if they wanted to see me as their main opponent they are right. well that's what a president matt cohen had to say of that meeting on tuesday between the leader of hungary viktor orban and the deputy prime minister of italy mattel yourself we need now they met yesterday and they did very well one of the issues that they were discussing was the migration crisis to this ng over the last few years and that she said that they would look to work together to solve the crisis. so the current

situation is like that there are two sides one is led by matter who is supporting migration we are on the other side trying to stop illegal immigration all of this issue is strongly debated in some of the european people's party and we want our line to be accepted. we're asking for collaboration first of all from the large countries the countries that share a border with us like france the first person who should show his sensitivity and solidarity is the french president for my reopening the border at ventimiglia and he can do so even tomorrow morning to you have not always seen one hundred percent on the issue of migration we know that much of the ne in italy has talked about it to be burdening too much of the responsibility of the migrants and want some to be dispersed across europe which is what we've seen from hungary's prime minister viktor orban as well as leaders of countries such as poland and the czech republic

is a point blank we're using to take any of my colleagues the two have come together because they believe that they can the best position to the current status quo in the u. of p. you look at some of the biggest now over migration crisis in two thousand and eighteen the figures show that so far around eighty two thousand migrants have come across land from the sea in addition to that fifteenth fifteen hundred people are feared to be missing or have died in the crossing in the magic. training in. vain.
