this is also about the progress of this country when people are taking out loans you know that is an investment that people are doing on their future however what we're seeing is that people are not able to make investments in their life they're not able to buy cars unable to buy homes are not able to start businesses and this is important for our economic success be our economy as a country so it is very alarming when we think of that the other part as a relationship the country is that education is supposed to be this equalizer right however what we're soon we're seeing for the student loan crisis is that it impacts some of the most marginalized communities in this country that includes black and brown folks that includes pell grant recipients that includes areas and a portion of the debt disproportionately minorities in the country what happens is that they're the ones who are most at risk and they're the ones who are usually the people who are getting. these predatory loan programs and again like these are the

folks who are told that if you want a chance in life you work hard and you receive an education however what's happening to them and also a lot of other people in this goes into the third part about what it means for the individual is that these are people going who do what society tells them however they're put in the spot where they for decades house to make these payments and there are people who are making student loan payments of their own and also their grandchildren unfortunately and this has an impact on their mental health we have to think about you know what are they sleeping what are they thinking about before they go to sleep how do they wake up a lot of people are very depressed because of the situation that they're put in and they feel lied to they feel views and it's extremely unfortunate so one. they are they are more of a target for predatory lenders with high rates except trick to get an education and . sincere in this circumstance or they'd. yes proportionately the.

hold a greater amount of debt than others other demographic areas groups rather i don't have the answer to that question however i do believe that you know again these are the people we need to be uplifting the most in the right entry and they're the ones who have been greatly impacted i mean i think about my own story i'm first narration daughter of immigrants my parents told me you work hard you know at a college but you know that's not really the reality i feel like i'm getting punished for doing what i'm told for trying to make something i myself you know the remington are speaking a little little bit you may have heard about the predatory lenders and are taking action against it are there things that government or state governments or others should be doing to crack down on predatory lending absolutely i mean with the example that mr rimington provide it with the ent we have states like california illinois and washington you know conducting their own lawsuits against these loans

and with predatory loan programs they're all bad guys you know there isn't one that's good or bad if you are ok with taking advantage of students with people who are just trying to have the means and the tools to make something of themselves and you're ok with manipulating them removing any chance that they have a life then you are bad and you need to be held accountable to that we're really glad you're there keeping an eye on this just one garcia president you know so you student association thank you great to see you again of course thank you. there is yet another us securities exchange commission case in the news today this time current national football league player for the cleveland browns mychal kendricks who previously as a defensive linebacker with the philadelphia eagles has been charged with insider trading mr kendricks has been accused of making trades on mergers and acquisitions using inside information supplied by a former goldman sachs analyst time now for a quick break but stick around because when we return russian president vladimir

friend russia there is no place to get to the kids and you know if you open it up there's other things in there so while we proceed here in the first half i'll just see what let's go. there right now but i'm not going to act on their manager i'm not out of the budget that i'm out of the money out of the money they let it to me. this was a good time to. try to move. the. sun that was definitely not why not. why x. generated their own people we believe is the job again. a lot of i can say they're not the muppets i don't have a lot of them on the totem other how to do it on

legislation have taken place for more on this we're told to r.t.c. yulia shop over low. putin has come to the fore the unpopular pension reform in russia in his televised address to the nation mr putin said the country's working age population was shrinking and the number of pensioners was growing making this change essential he called it a very difficult but necessary decision with out of the country's economy might simply collapse so the retirement age for women will be gradually increased from fifty two to sixty years instead of sixty three as initially proposed but a five year increase for men from sixty to sixty five will stay women with three or more children can retire three years. the draft bill proposes raising the retirement age for women by eight years to sixty three and for men by five years this is not right we care for women in russia the retirement age for women shouldn't be raised for men that's why bravos raising it only by five years talk of

change to russia's pension legislation has been brewing for a long time there have been no changes since the one nine hundred thirty s. and even during soviet times there was much discussion about the need for reform the blood bath that was the great patriotic from your one nine hundred forty one thousand nine hundred forty five course and to the democratic russia and the u.s.s.r. not just directly with a vast number of people killed but also indirectly through that toll taken on the birth rate both during the war years and after in the one nine hundred ninety s. the country faces the economic and social crises with their catastrophic consequences that lead to another fatal blow to the demographic even fewer children will born than the already low number expected it's worth mentioning how the pension system in russia works the pension contributions of people working today pay for those who are currently retired adults funding their parents' generation and had under their parents' generation when they were at work according to

presidential spokesperson dmitri bischoff alleging that putin is thinking about the country's future and is therefore not abandoning his responsibility at this important moment for russian society their dress has certainly attracted the attention of the whole country as the topic is acute and concerns everyone without exception millions of people listen to it at home and work our r.t. . part of the united states and mexico reached. agreement in principle on alterations to the north american free trade agreement on monday u.s. present. donald trump is position has been astray ssion to go it alone with mexico and leave canada out of the deal canadian foreign affairs minister chrystia freeland hoped to hop on a plane rather and she was in washington yesterday and today she's actually set to

meet the u.s. trade representative robert light hisor within the hour will there be a deal or no deal we'll have to see we're joined by henry ford which of stroke mark to help us sort this all out i actually worked on the hill on trade issues that gave you a lot of things to work there on time and i recalled we did fast track that nafta you actually have to provide the president any president with authority to negotiate and in this regard on nafta it's with three it's not with two does this pose a problem for the administration there are many problems that can come about i do think that when a very powerful position though don't forget most of the canadian exports do come to the u.s. and we've already done the deal with mexico so i do think that this is going to go through also with regard to the timing bought the midterms the coming up how many people are actually going to run saying i think i'm going to eliminate jobs and i don't want to agree on this because i think i'd rather leave us in limbo and not have more jobs for our automakers i'm for all dairy producers and for the midwest and when you talk about timing i mean it's ninety days what the president must

submit ninety days the congress has to approve it under expedited that's a fast track part of a promotion authority so they say they want to do that on friday the administration or they're going to get there i think they might well do because the mexicans want to do it and also don't forget you talked about the canadian foreign minister free on just from the european vacation and i would actually call it capitulation where i feel like they've capitulated because they tame him very late if you remember to p.p. and two thousand and fifteen october they came in very very late coming in late to this it's sort of like do or die now and i think yes i would be surprised if we don't have an agreement by friday and you know there's nothing particularly magical about friday i mean. saturday sunday monday tuesday a week from friday because this ninety day clock you know takes us all the way till the end of november the beginning of december and congress is usually out by that time and as you say the makeup of congress could change or it could change and also

have to get we want to get it through and the mexicans want to get it through because they want to be a done deal because the need of mexico coming in. let's just say left leaning and you know he's going to move out of the presidential palace everything else that he or that he's going pro what he may not want the same deal so i think there's an i think speediest designed by the mexicans as well as canadians leftists. coming in and does not want anything to do with foreign investment in mexico in this agreement because he campaigned against it so yes you're right there's a there's a i think i'm going to work with that mexico he doesn't have part of that's not i don't know if that's a good point but the c.e.o. straw market where foreigners think you hillary thank you very much. british prime minister theresa may is on an african trip in a cape town speech cheaper claim the united kingdom will become south africa's largest of the g. seven investors in south africa that's after breck's it gets included next march

the u.k. is a major export destination for many south african products as is the netherlands zimbabwe japan and yes the united states many question prime minister may's ability to deliver on the south african investment pledge considering the precarious position in which the u.k. finds itself with regard to brics it and the pm personal political popularity in the u.k. however south african president cecil ramaphosa who was elected earlier this year is the fifth post apartheid president replacing former president jacob zuma could certainly use the u.k. investment as he is undertaking efforts to ignite the nation's economy after a decade of stagnated growth in july chinese president xi jinping visited south africa and play. fourteen point seven billion dollars of investment in the nation over the years the south african economies begun to move away from once particularly would be profitable sectors based upon natural resources those like diamond mining and agriculture and towards were knowledge based economy companies

recently hosted a late night program on south africa and clued in land seizures in the homicides even deeming the south african president a recess many south african groups are saying these reports are false donald trump tweeted in a response to the late night programming saying quote i have asked secretary of state pompei o to closely study the south africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers south african government is now seizing land from white farmers research published by agra farmers organization in south africa found from the fiscal year twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen the number of killings of farmers was at a twenty year low however some white africans believe farm killings are being under reported kate wilkinson a senior researcher at africa check says quote nobody is disputing that people living and working on farms and small holdings are the victims of violent and often

brutal attacks and murders what is disputed is whether they face an elevated risk versus average south africans south africa's president announced earlier this month it would move forward with changing the country's constitution to bring about land reform the african national congress said in a statement a call to action to decisively break with the historical injustice of colonial apartheid and patriarchal patterns of land ownership and to build a south africa that belongs to all some right wing groups are opposing this move by the african president and have pushed the false narrative they've already been numerous seizures of white own land here's what the c.e.o. of affray forum had to say you know what get this through if you will she's the government taking so we need the international community to send out the warning.

president says he is now the main opponent to the hard line and migrant leaders of italy and hungary. with a decisive battle looming over the last rebel stronghold in syria the russian foreign minister warns that the u.s. seemingly prefers regime change to removing terrorists. are broadcasting live direct for a citizen of this is r t international thomas certainly glad to have you with us now c.n.n. is under fire after it refused to retract a breaking news 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 our comments. a quick look at some of the nuts and bolts of russia collusion storytelling we've gotten rather used to

the media running sensational headlines because a number of anonymous sources said this or that well what if the anonymous source reveals his identity and says the story's not true or that he's made a mistake perhaps you'd expect the outlet to take a step back consider some skepticism possibly make a correction or take the story down altogether not if you're c.n.n. we stand by our story and are confident in our reporting of it and here's 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 two thousand and sixteen beating a drum tower crucially these sources tell us that cohen is willing to make that assertion to the special counsel wabbit moeller so the sensation was that the president's former lawyer would tell investigators mr drum had known about the

infamous from tower sit down featuring his son and the russians sure that counts as a sensation as many would take it as proof there had been collusion well a few weeks later a man called lanny davis michael cohen's own attorney comes out and said he was the source for c n n a b he's made a mistake and c. is inside into this complicated matter has been misinterpreted mr davis eventually even appeared on c.n.n. several times to reiterate just that the reporting of the story got mixed up so michael cohen does not have information that president trump knew about the from terror meeting with the russians beforehand or you know does not is it your understanding now that the senate. has been told no michael cohen stands by his testimony he did not know of the trump tower meeting beforehand that's correct and

the reporting was a bit garbled but c.n.n. did nothing to warn its audience the story could have been false in fact it even began attacking the man who it once used as a source blaming him for changing his mind as often as the wind however when c.n.n. first broke the news based on a tip off from sources it mentioned that attorney davis declined to comment on the matter and now we know that mr davis and the source are the same person unlike these guys other influential outlets the likes of the washington post came up with follow up reports or included corrections they weren't saying the original story was false for sure but at least casts some doubt this was the time when journalists went to c.n.n. but c.n.n. only answer to their question was we stand by our story it's still right because we had multiple sources did c.n.n.

name many of these sources know this is out sometimes work and there could be a much bigger issue behind this kind of news climate one congressman from the republican party has claimed serious people from the likes of the justice department could leak sensitive stuff to the media on purpose he says this could be a tactic to trigger and list rounds of probes but we know that some people at the department of justice to the f.b.i. actually gave information to the media then the stories were reported then they used those reports to justify further investigations could that point to some other form of collusion don't you dare even think that russia gate is the coin of the room here if you have a story no matter how false you're out with it before anybody pays any attention to the sure. we have a sleazy bunch of lawyers and i'd have to ed 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 or but as i say they have no imperative to do that because i'm not c.n.n. on and 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 trump lied again. the french president has built himself as the main opponent to hardline anti migrant policies being advocated by leaders in italy and hungary high ranking politicians from both countries have united to fight existing e.u. migration policies and vowed to take power into their own hands in the next. four

the european parliament on to show dubinsky reports now from the french capital. we're seeing clear sides developing as we head towards the european elections in twenty nineteen but what we're seeing is the big divisions between the leaders of e.u. nations where the manual might 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 me. 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 might call and how to say oh if that 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 in

a phone did very well one of the issues that they were discussing was the migration crisis of the single europe over the last eight years and that you said that they would look to work together to solve that crisis. so the current situation is like that there are two sides one is led by matter on who is supporting migration we are on the other side trying to stop illegal immigration and this issue is strongly debated inside the european people's party and we want to align 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 by reopening the border at ventimiglia and he can do so even tomorrow morning well the two you have not always seen one hundred percent ita eye on the issue of migration we know that much of the nie in italy has

talked about italy burdening too much of the responsibility of the migrants i want some to be dispersed across your. whereas what we've seen from hungary's prime minister victor open as well as leaders of countries such as poland and the czech republic is a point blank refusal to take any money he quits in the two have come together because they believe that they can form the best and main opposition to the current status quo in the european union quizzed look at some of the figures now over the migration crisis in two thousand and eighteen the figures show that so far around eighty two thousand migrants have come to europe 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 mediterranean.

this migration crisis continues to cause a huge rift in europe and it looks like it's once again going to be one of the biggest platforms coups in division in europe as we head to the elections just in eight months time the question is which side is going to win out are we spoke to writer and political commentator john bricmont who feels anti immigrant sentiment is becoming more and more popular within the. week michael should be worried about that selena's from will probably need to be in my columns in trance and of course all by the hundreds of the mo i mean old both showed up in the elections is that when they expect a lot.
