8:30 am
when hillary clinton came to speak and started telling sort of pushing a certain kind of agenda of how they should do their foreign affairs and a lot of astray and they're very upset by that the idea of this american coming in and telling them not so i wonder if this has a lot to do with the sort of that conservative versus liberal which is a different thing and i certainly have than we have here that there are these two joining forces that are sort of the corporate politicians and the other people but i find it interesting that they would have a problem with chelsea manning when in two thousand and fifteen they didn't have a single problem with general petraeus who right after he copped a plea and centrally you know pled guilty to to doing what should what chelsea did but at least he did it for a noble reason david petraeus just did it to impress his girlfriend and he gets to go to us this is so we're going to do we're digging into the makeup and it's like you go to these people you're going to want like sure mongers are going to let these people in but you're not going you know a rights advocate
8:31 am
a whistleblower you know and those readings he was going on with i mean we're not talking about a group are just. i mean isn't maureen dowd for god's sake is on the list i mean it's pretty ridiculous now her supporters are striking back and calling this. an executive director of human rights last summer told the guardian australia quote as a democracy we should be encouraging not banning public contributions from people like chelsea manning clare malam some of amnesty international's last national director in australia also by refusing her entry of the australian government would send a chilling message that freedom of speech is not valued by our government i'm sure australians don't want anyone thinking that they will not allow the freedom of speech in their country and you know obscene journalist john pilger spin doctors are jumping about this this is a big deal i think it's pretty disgusting what's happening and what exactly is that supporters just are out there there's a half. chelsea speak which is trying to promote the story and get amnesty
8:32 am
international which is launching a petition also to try to to get them to change their idea of the whole point she is going to be speaking hopefully if so won't be speaking out the sunday this sunday night at the sydney opera house for the antidote festival which was also going to be she's also going to be travelling to brazil and melbourne so hopefully australia you get to hear chelsea speak i would hope so and you know in what goes on at the time this really goes to how do we treat our heroes at the end of the you know and to me josie manning is and always will be a hero for what she did she blew the whistle on a terrible amount of devastation corruption and lethality by the u.s. military. in march of twenty fifteen model botha london walked into the n.y.p.d. is my precinct and accused harvey weinstein of sexual assault however despite the hard work of the n.y.p.d. special victims division to getting weinstein to admit his crimes on tape and to
8:33 am
protect. from harvey weinstein's high powered attorneys private investigators and paid harassers near district attorney cyrus vance jr refused to press charges against weinstein citing lack of evidence which led creative artist association back celebrity stacked anti-sexual arrest movement times up to pen an open letter to governor andrew cuomo urging him to investigate the district attorney's decision on march eighteenth of this year new york state governor andrew cuomo new york state governor andrew cuomo released an official statement regarding the refusal of vance to press charges against weinstein stating quote it is of great concern that sexual assault cases have not been pursued with full vigor of our criminal justice system but the investigation into possible wrongdoing by vance in the manhattan district attorney's office was quietly shut down in juneau this year by governor andrew cuomo but what makes this story true. blood boiling was that this week it
8:34 am
was revealed by capitol in maine that just six days before quote was shut down the investigation he had received a campaign donation of twenty five thousand dollars from law firm of david boies of boies schiller and flexner the same boy is scholer and flexner that represented harvey weinstein from about two thousand and seven up until late two thousand and seventeen and had assisted weinstein in hiring private intelligence firm black cube to harass victims reporters looking into his many many many crimes against women committed by harvey weinstein so did cuomo get paid to look the other way or is this another attempt to create a get out of jail free card for great best and sexual predator harvey weinstein. oh. governor cuomo and this broke late right before the debate you know his debate was simply a mix of near the. looks bad this looks really bad i mean it would be
8:35 am
one thing is you know they got this campaign contribution and then you know a few days later you know they overturn their they didn't purchase our investigation but when you got like a letter being written say i'm back off of this and you got things like that that's a big deal but it's interesting because on twenty seventeen journals they would sort of revealed the district attorney cyrus vance had received this ten thousand dollar campaign demotion from david boies after the charges against weinstein were dropped. on june twentieth twenty david boies donated twenty five thousand dollars to the reelection campaign of. june twenty sixth cuomo suspended the investigation. right and it's all under this idea of you know how he brought it up and his reason was that they they didn't want to either interfere with the. other criminal investigation already going on
8:36 am
into harvey weinstein's crimes but specifically had said that they didn't want to they did it so they didn't have to hand over things to harvey weinstein's defense team during that investigation into wrongdoing by vance. while ultimately what they said jeopardizing criminal investigations has some because harvey weinstein's defense team would then be allowed by law to look at what they were going through and what was found in discovery here's the problem the number one thing we need to have in the case of harvey weinstein is a fair trial for harvey weinstein he needs to get a fair trial and what this does it's put that into question because what he can say is that there are the issue of having you know the district attorney's office stepping in to be investigated for wrongdoing and how can the same people who are and being investigated for wrongdoing be investigating his crime and ultimately
8:37 am
what it does is it gives him a reason for appeal and that's what scares me is these powerful men always always and women i'm sure have have these a little out season a plan b. c. you know and this to me harvey is definitely that guy who's always got a back up arrow to his backup plan so you think that these playoffs occur and create that illusion then that harvey could potentially use that on appeal down the line in that so it's oh it's a lot of layers of skin in there throughout a lot of things that good be. the spokesman for boys schiller and flexner told koppel in maine that quote neither mr boies nor anyone from his firm ever discussed harvey weinstein or mr vance with mr cuomo or anyone from his office at the time mr boies a longtime supporter of mr cuomo and his contribution in june was consistent with his contributions to mr cuomo over the years past that's their argument saying hey it's just you know you does this all the time you're you know you're looking at coincidences and things of that made sure we. he would never do anything like rural
8:38 am
never give people care because people giving people campaign contributions are never never there to influence decision making by politicians. i never talk to advance about my client i never heard so despite the fact that i've given over two hundred thousand boys is given something like two hundred forty five thousand dollars over five or six years to cuomo and you're telling me what all this was going on while cuomo was standing on the backs of a women's movement in order to gain points in an election by saying i really care about these bad guys while he's doing that he quietly like he does a lot of things quietly takes it out quietly does that this is the thing about about like i said about boys is that this is a man who absolutely signed the contract with black cube that put out a narrative about rose mcgowan and who actually hired that was the contract that that was hired by black cube operatives when i pretended to be
8:39 am
a literary agent and literally stalked rose mcgowan trying to get information to help our great deal excuse me if the fact that all of you are friends doesn't make me feel good about justice for a white man and verdict that smells a little bit like a cover a big nest of vipers there are as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered of facebook and twitter your poll shows that are teens dot com coming up as real williams is challenging the status quo with tennis once again in our tease alex mchale of which deals back the label on a potential food crisis and those who stay tuned watch for the. chose
8:40 am
seemed wrong. but old rules just don't call. me old it is yet to shake out this day you can stick to it and in games from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. a parting of ways european leaders talk of a future without the u.s. what is in store for the transatlantic alliance and much much more on this edition of crossfire. they're not going to that how can i bear in mind i'm not out of the budget that i'm not out of the money out of the money that they eliminated at
8:41 am
a time. this was a good time to. try to move there i'm. not that old and you know how little money not why not act and then again why exxon and the old people we believe use of those who get a. lot of my kids i don't want them up with johnny borrell the moment i've got a mother how do it all the kids or is it a little to them i'm a little like a mad build a little of the things i don't want to put out they are the most hardy without all the mother blood it. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand colored crimes happen
8:42 am
each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to the culture rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember it was one business show you can afford to miss. one minute. a police a woman's body is on what we put on them is hardly new is but when that policing and shaming of women takes center stage i don't world renowned sporting event it's a reason to take notice right away as one of the greatest athletes of our
8:43 am
generation was told that a cat suit she wore to the french open was disrespectful to the sport and response to compete at the u.s. open in a series of joining us to make sense of this senseless situation is our t. american sports correspondent steve krista. phases of this has been quite the quite the week for tennis really has yeah. there seems to be an issue with what women can wear and. you know serena definitely kind of set this off despite people weren't catsuits before there was a few people there before how is serena changing the game well she's always been a trendsetter i mean being arguably the best tennis female tennis player ever i mean she's she's somewhat of a super hero in the sport and that's what the catsuit was all about it was inspired by the movie black panther and a lot of young girls who play tennis look up to her as a superhero so but the more important part of the suit was the reason she wore it actually beside the black besides the black panther inspired. issue there was because she wanted to prevent blood clots after she suffered
8:44 am
a pulmonary embolism after giving birth that she almost actually died from and that's well known in the world so the french tennis federation came out and apparently they just didn't care about anything they just they kind of wanted to just say that she was disrespecting the game as you said and that there's a time in a place but i don't understand i mean i mean i don't get it but the u.s. open though came out you know she wore her custom made to leave it on a nike shoes in collaboration with them. and she wore that and compression tights and there was no issues. i mean i think they learned from that was it was like i said there were there was other people to wear similar outfits that do it's of that suit kind of look prior to her that no one seemed to have an issue with in fact i think even she may have worn one similar to that like even you know a few years before and it's not surprising again because we've seen that's where especially with serena and venus that they always have this thing against them about what they're wearing isn't correct when really the idea of you know women's
8:45 am
tennis outfits are very short skirts and little itty bitty briefs to cover barely what you have and some how bad you know her doing that but there's another thing that came up about this idea of being disrespectful or inappropriate it's always wanted some women's body gets inappropriate but there was another wardrobe controversy at the u.s. open is also a little bit about that yes i haven't heard this most about a sports bra since the bring the chest pain issue in one thousand nine hundred ninety three we don't want to work that's right you know and now it's this woman cornell a french tennis player the other day i believe it was tuesday in her match it was you know they have one hundred ten degree heat heat wave up there so the temperatures are soaring and there's a heat rule where you can take a ten minute break the players can take a break from the match go back change take a bath the men were doing it novak djokovic talked about it however for the men they could sit on the sidelines take off their shirts just sit there and you know sweat it out but the women you know came back she had put her change her shirt put pressure on came back and she realized it was all backwards so she took it off for
8:46 am
about ten to fifteen seconds to turn it around exposing her sports bra briefly and the doctor penalty by giving her unsportsmanlike conduct which is code violation in tennis so therefore she she was docked the penalty but the u.s. open obviously after an uproar on twitter there was a firestorm you know calling tennis sexist and it really is so the u.s. open realized that and they backtracked yesterday and they came out with a statement and they said we regret that a code violation was assessed to miss corner yesterday we have clarified the power . to ensure that this will not happen moving forward and they went on to say that she was only given a warning not a penalty and no fine was assessed so at least it is changing that's some progress and they reacted quickly to it but in the first place that should never happen when you have novak djokovic sitting there yet with assured me she just lives the way it's always ok and that's where we've had marches in the last few weeks of office about the idea that i mean it's not as if she was top left. for the leader at this which isn't even really a broad smart coverage them guys tank top just got back yeah but there is this idea
8:47 am
that it's in a for if you feel women oh gosh you see any of the women get over upper body it would make it weird guys can hang out shortly and it's great to see the types of because tennis is one of those like the most competitive sports and one of the most exciting sports to watch so it's meant they've got to get their act together and get the spics because like it is it is a global phenomenon sport that a lot of people watching this was special u.s. open and things like that you'd think we'd be beyond this but now it's always a pleasure to have thank you so much for coming on and sharing there's this thank you for having me. there was an old saying that you are what you eat but what happens if you don't actually know what you're eating is that does that mean you don't know who you are. that's the least of the worries in canada right now is ocean on account of the toronto based concert conservation organization is claiming that nearly half of fish sampled in grocery stores and restaurants in that country is in correctly labeled the c.b.c.
8:48 am
reports that according to oceana canada the problem is particularly prevalent in restaurants where two percent of the samples tested were mislabeled the rate was twenty two percent retailers now while some of the blame some blame the massive global supply chain for the mislabeling others believe it's deliberate with more joining us from toronto is our teams alex mahela but alex this is a pretty incredible bit. according to advocacy group oceana. kind of forty four percent of physicians mislabeled what what is going on here and what are some of the dangers of this kind of mislabeling. that you guys have been exposed to the same kind of literature as me when you were kids and one fish two fish red fish blue fish those fish would be mislabeled so there goes our childhood right out the window but it pushing it forward to our adulthood where you're saying we are what we eat well what the heck are we eating because these labels are not coming up across loud or clear they're actually of misinforming us according to this latest
8:49 am
study by oceana canada as you mentioned so three hundred eighty two fish are sampled snapper. sole and all kinds of other popular fish of the samples were taken at one hundred seventy seven restaurants and five cities across the country as well as grocery stores as you mentioned then the d.n.a. was checked and then they took all those fish and they put it up against the canadian food inspection agencies list the fish and the way that they marked down and guess what happens forty four percent of these fish are absolutely mislabeled for some fish you get this snapper yellowtail and butter fish it was one hundred percent of the time that these fish were mislabeled which is absolutely horrible the turn out to be stuff like as scolari i don't even know what asshole are is of the first time i've heard of it but supposedly it job on your stomach that's not something that we really need to talk about when you've got like a japanese amberjack into lappie and that's a labia for a god doesn't know fish too well slap is kind of bottom of the barrel if you go to
8:50 am
a restaurant that's what i've been told before so this is what you're getting a good exchange so how come these results whenever you see it it's always if this is a mistake how come it's always cheaper fish and masking itself as more expensive fish so you know that's a big question here and check out this chart now this is pretty interesting so just to give us an idea of this labeling how it works you buy some cod you're going to get paul if you buy wild salmon you're going to get farmed salmon if you buy red snapper you buy lavender job fish you get the picture around that now. here's the million issue here here's where it actually gets a little bit dangerous it's dangerous for the environment because of overfishing so if these fish are mislabeled overfishing now we didn't catch that but we caught another fish they put it through the system also on top of that you have the fact that there are some protected areas so we don't know where this fish has come from is that a protected area and i look at it even more importantly personally look i've avoided fish from the pacific for a very long time because of the fukushima disaster we know that it's tainted so how
8:51 am
can i be sure you can't be sure and a lot of people are saying well the restaurant tours don't know i don't know if i was a chef i think i'd know what i'm serving you and i think i'd be able to identify the fish so there's definitely i have to say there's something fishy going on here that's ok we love what is i don't know i mean and also too it's like you kind of talked about too late there's an economic thing too when you're you know like bluefin tuna up there if i'm paying for bluefin tuna but i'm getting yellowtail i'm not getting what i paid for your talk on the last day and here's what you not only like physically dangerous environmentally dangerous and pocketbook dangerous at the end of the day for those of you remember what pocketbook means. well you know it's sort of amazing because when you said you know it's like to lop as the bottom of the barrel and pollock i mean pot because like what's in the cars so it's weird to me that i once again you know but seriously gets ground up in a fish tanks and when you said there's something fishy here fish no fishing industry advocates of course are disputing the findings saying what are you talking about what are they saying exactly as you have one group here in canada that's
8:52 am
called the fisheries council of canada they tout themselves as being the voice of all seafood and the fish business here in the country they're saying first of all you know what these numbers are exaggerated we found out about six percent of fish or mislabeled but they went for fish that are not quite the same as these fish so they're going sort of for the fish that should be labeled correctly because you know what they're maybe not the most expensive kind and also they're saying that this is all new it's what are we talking about old news if this is old news. when the government should have done something about this by doubt how could we believe the government or the labels of anything i buy organic food how do i know it's organic isn't the government supposed to be protecting the consumer in one way or another it doesn't look like it's happening now oceana canada says you know we need to start following e.u. standards and you standards and here's what you get scientific species name on the label the catch method and the origin and also requires catch documentation they're calling this from boat to plate traceability why not we do it with other things and
8:53 am
we should do it with fish and with all of our food supply i mean we need to know what we're eating because they're like i said if we're talking about fish that comes from. fukushima near fukushima or we're talking about even shrimp that comes down from some river in vietnam that we know is contaminated i want to know this stuff and i'm a sucker i don't know the see if the fishmonger told me it's this or that i'm going to believe them just as a would somebody in a restaurant so i don't know i don't know what to say folks say i'd like to see you learn your fish but how about the government just doesn't and then we don't have to worry about these things exactly i have to agree with you on the ear sander saying i think that the united states here and canada are going to have to start looking at that because they take the safety of the food where it comes from how with the ethic whether it's ethically raised but there is absolutely taken out much more seriously thank you so those are interesting and fascinating story yeah thank you so much alex always a pleasure having you on. thank you. since the days of
8:54 am
noah humans have been trying to win the war against devastating dangerous and damages floods well just north of tokyo japan brilliant minds and engineers have developed and implemented a way to combat flooding that can only be described as epic both in design and size see this is the metropolitan area outer underground discharge channel and it is the largest underground water facility in the world built back in twenty two hundred twenty two thousand and six. at a cost of over two billion dollars the system has five cylindrical shops that can accommodate a space shuttle and a main tank known as the temple which can is held up by rows of five hundred ton pillars it works by collecting both rainwater and access water from swollen rivers and directs it out towards the ocean juicing jet engines i think it's safe to say that even no one would have been a little jealous of the engineering feat with this one this is incredible and again
8:55 am
the more i can always say well the reasons i always like to finish the show off with stuff like this is a to show you just how incredible human beings can be when they put their mind to something and there's a really amazing when you look at look at those images we just saw that that's credible and think about how much not just money how many billions of dollars in about but think about the life the natural resources everything from the road and along rivers to homes also i mean that's could be doing if they were doing it for twelve years all right what about as our show proved today remember everyone in this world we're not told you above so i tell you wall i love i am i roll over and i'm having a while and keep on watching those hawks another great day and i can look.
