6:02 pm
a specific target. society for terrorists who had brought their guns to the area and hidden them several days ago undercover as civilians to watch the parade then they went and picked up their guns and opened fire on people. iran has a long history of share sunni tensions the country became a theocratic state after the nine hundred seventy nine revolution and its population is almost entirely sheer terror and spain quick to blame those they accuse of sponsoring terror in the middle east. terrorists recruited trained armed and paid by a foreign regime have attacked. children in journalists among casualties iran holds regional terror sponsors and their u.s. mostest accountable for such attacks iran will respond swiftly and decisively in defense of iranian lives i believe. or islamic state of
6:03 pm
iraq and eleven militant they are trying to take the or portion of the the chance in order to you know. claim some kind of power this is been done by a lot was a year. and established terrorist group it's known it's not an unknown terrorist group it has long had ties with seoul the arabia for the past several years and they've done a number of. terrorist attacks in the same region of course on a much smaller scale and you know that this group has given out a statement claiming that it is responsible all saudis have you know all of very overt is with israel and the united states against iran despite the iranian foreign minister pointing the finger at the u.s. the state department has condemned the massacre in southwest iran and expressed solidarity with the country's people. president trump has delayed his own order to
6:04 pm
declassify documents related to the russian collusion probe the files are expected to shed light on alleged conflicts of interest involving certain f.b.i. and government officials. i met with the d.o.j. concerning the declassification of various unredacted documents they agreed to release them but stated that doing so may have a perceived negative impact on the russian probe also key allies called to ask not to release therefore the inspector general has been asked to review these documents on an expedited basis i believe he will move quickly on this and hopefully on other things which he is looking at in the end i can always declassify it if it proves necessary speed is very important to me and everyone. a monday the president announced he ordered the declassification of several pages of a surveillance warrant home form a trump campaign aide to page additional documents concerned ex f.b.i.
6:05 pm
director james comey as well as other former top f.b.i. officials and of open house more on why the president put the potentially explosive documents release on hold this delay comes in apparently he's waiting for the department of justice to review the documents before they are made available to the public now this is quite a u.-turn from donald trump but when he initially spoke up he gave a very strong statement saying that he was going to make the documents from the probe very public that he had this authority as president we want transparency what i want is i want total transparency this is a witch hunt. republicans are seeing it that democrats know it's a witch on to but they don't want to admit it because it's not good politics for them but it's a terrible witch hunt and it turned our country and i want transparency and so does everybody else we should open it up for people to see now donald trump mentioned the democrats and trump was certainly under a huge amount of pressure from the democratic party many democratic leaders were
6:06 pm
strongly opposed to donald trump making public documents related to the bob muller investigation now we had adam schiff who is a high ranking member of the house select committee on intelligence he went as far as to call this abuse of power to say that donald trump was acting completely inappropriate lee and harming the ability of the justice department to do its work now interestingly tensions are riding high in washington d.c. in relation to this probe into allegations that trump colluded with russia bob woodward a popular investigative journalist who wrote two books that were very popular in relation to the trumpet ministration he was being interviewed recently and in his radio interview he stated that in his two years and his two years of investigative work at no point did he find anything. showing that donald trump had colluded with russia did you bob woodward hear anything in your research in your interviews that sounded like espionage or collusion i did and of course i looked for it look
6:07 pm
for it hard now despite announcement on monday that these documents would be made public it appears that that decision is on a whole department of justice is now reviewing the documents the bob muller investigation continues with many people wondering what will come next and what exactly is the truth political analyst daniel mcadams says the democrats reluctance to see the documents declassified raises questions i find it very interesting what a panic the democrats the leading democrats in washington are in over this and not only that but as we know our closest allies are also panicking and there certainly is speculation as to who that might be is it the united kingdom is it the u.k. intelligence services who are all seem to be up to their neck at least in this in trying to discredit running the president but what is really going on here and i
6:08 pm
think it's really a fascinating thing it would be is an extraordinary extraordinarily public view of i guess you call it the deep state and how it operates and how it can overrule the president in getting these things released. the u.s. state department is blaming the rise of terrorism in syria on the country's government and its allies done over analyzes whether the claims correspond with reality on the ground with syria there are a few things that have all international play is on the same page the fact that al-qaeda prowse freely through parts of this country is one just like they should know more the debate is about how and who is allowed the terrorists to thrive in syria. over the past decade there are certain regimes permissive attitude towards al qaeda and other terrorist groups fed the growth of al qaeda i saw in affiliated terrorist networks inside syria washington pins the blame unequivocally on the
6:09 pm
force that has spent a large part of the past seven years and lost tens of thousands of men repairing the terrorist onslaught. when peace in syria blew to kingdom come in two thousand and eleven al-qaeda was busy from the get go and given the chance to oust the assad government a fact the us validated itself. al qaeda in iraq supported the syrian opposition from the beginning both ideologically and through the media al qaeda in iraq declared its opposition to assad's government because it considered it a sectarian regime targeting sunni's so let me recap al qaeda supported the syrian opposition washington also supported the syrian opposition when it comes to picking the company to entrench yourself with the us made the worst choice imaginable another assumption the new counterterrorism report makes is that syria made its
6:10 pm
border think grand central station allowing al qaeda to run loose in and out of iraq except damascus wouldn't have much time to facilitate that for the most part it had no access cut off by the opposition from its own border syrian regime border forces retreated from the border and the opposition forces took over the posts and raised their flag it wasn't until june last year when the syrian army began to recapture those parts of the country and it did so with the help of a rainy and pro-war rainy and forces who have proven to be a considerable power. but in the world of the u.s. state department iran give us and take it because apparently on its own soil it forces the same terrorists it kills in syria it's a crazy standing of reality and its head but this is very common in the united
6:11 pm
states rand is helping the syrians defeat these terrorists in their countries but the united states says iran is supporting al-qaeda it behooves the united states to say that iran is involved in this because this builds a case against iran even though it makes no sense so the united states reports whatever needs to report to justify its foreign policy. that marks largest public t.v. and radio group has come out for strong criticism from the european public service broadcaster alliance the e.b.u. partly over a push to reduce the promotion of multiculturalism. sit together and we hear something. about it and. if. the air. instead focus has been shifted it says to the values of democracy and free
6:12 pm
speech the broadcaster also says content will reflect the country's historically christian identity the changes were published by denmark's culture ministry with parliamentary support a most of that support comes from the anti immigration danish people's party as the second largest political force in the country it's been pushing for this media policy change the parties called on d.r. to represent denmark's christian cultural heritage to a greater degree the opposition though is none too pleased with the new plan and. i think it's an incorrect prioritization of conservative values it's another step towards a political agenda that doesn't want to integrate people for most of a religious program on d.r. told us that the move is all about reinforcing denmark's national identity. the previous guidelines also stated that christianity is part of his cultural heritage what is surprising it that they really stress it one more time because after my program closed down one religious program after the other has
6:13 pm
been shut down because chris and at sea and religion in general has not been prioritized with the immigration that the europeans and also the author of that they know has a problem to define their own identity if a culture is very based on its christin foundations and its christian faith it's much easier for this society to integrate other people so i think that's why they want to stress it simply to strengthen their national identity which is very important in our time where there is so much division in the european societies. you know with r.t. on the way next to clash of the titans and still two weeks to go in the rush of face off with barbs of fighting talk a prelude to the big battle to come. you
6:14 pm
know it's amazing that america people all joined a group to save nine dollars on sushi with their friends and using the group of fact buying health care but you said you know why i find that group odd logic to health care so that you can afford health care at all make you bankrupt like socialism i don't know but that you did they get all that because they've been trained by the professional media ocracy industry and propagandists to run the big media outlets for people that would trigger response to affordable health care equals communist. it's become an international norm to say women's role is the human rights but in a world where women make up the majority of university graduates this may not be true how much more women's empowerment needs to happen the fortunes of these policies become redundant.

so there are other bills to it. i mean in the him i die from efficient but then i. look. it up you guys. don't want the money i don't i don't want to worry about. stuff you didn't really know yet another mystery just. a clone of the. art of a shuffle stemming with us calling the. feel that a little warmth and you know what. shall i do you saw. this idol of the. politicians do you something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or

6:26 pm
was redacted and now is the comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. so let me get this straight the supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh has an attempted rape allegation against him the president has been accused of sexual assault or harassment by a mere twenty one women one of them this week put out a book describing his penis which is something no one should have to picture. but on the other side at least the democrats don't have any history of sexual misconduct. this means out of the past four presidents we've heard in detail about two of their penises which is about seven too many. anyway we have that going on but what would the trumpet ministration tell you is the serious
6:27 pm
crime we all really need to be focused on and the white house has secretly amassed a committee of federal agencies from across the government to combat public support for marijuana and portray the drug as a national threat. the now as you know the rats oh dear god people will be mellow. now you may not be taking this seriously but studies have shown that over the past five years there's been a dramatic dramatic up. tick and giggling and napping people people been listening to flaming lips it's a office out there it's chaos. of course the reason is it's truly dangerous dangerous because the white house is clearly preparing to ramp up the drug war even more the war on drugs has been used to arrest lock up or otherwise destroy the lives of a whopping eighty trillion americans. i made up that number but. it's still
6:28 pm
indicative of something. we are and i'm not making this part up the largest prison state in the world and yet our government wants to keep arresting citizens for a drug that kills zero people every year. when i have to say whenever i start to get self-righteous about this topic i pause and i and i think about the families of those zero people you know the old little boys little girls husbands wives grandmothers the other things who haven't lost anyone. what about them. unless never again as anybody with or without a pothead friend is sick of hearing cannabis has numerous medicinal benefits may yet. prove begin with to begin with the journal of experimental medicine found
