they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. you to go to the press this is what before three of them or can't be good. interested always in the waters in the . first sitting. president will preside over the security council i'm sure that's going to be the most watched security council meeting ever a lot of good things can happen. speech at the u.n. general assembly on tuesday grows with some hoping the president will use it as a chance to rebuild shop to international relations. the

sexual assault rate in south africa now ranks among the world's highest with new cases opening old words here on the program we hear from some of the victims. to depression actually try to commit suicide this happened to so many years ago. let's get in nothing would have been done. also libya's civil war resulted in more than one hundred deaths. discusses the ongoing conflict with one of the country's former deputy prime minister. is going to show they're getting support from internally and also from the outside you need before you for an intervention have to stop. supporting these militias.

why monday's top stories here on r.t. international just after eleven am now here at moscow into the program. the world is descending on new york for the seventy third a un general assembly the main session though kicking off on tuesday and the general debate as it's known is not so much of a debate but rather an opportunity for representatives to make a speech on the most pressing topics and it seems donald trump is playing the headliner act and as anticipation around his performance builds. looks at what we should expect for this year. in the global political circus trump has taken it upon himself to be the greatest showman or jest depending on what side of the fence you're on and on tuesday the curtains will rise and the spotlight fall on trump taking center stage at one of this year's main spectacles the u.n. general assembly has got a couple major possibilities really to help illuminate for the american people what america's place in the world is president will preside over the security council

and i am sure that's going to be the most watched security council meeting ever well trumps the trickle debut at the u.n. g.a. last year provided a taste of what the u.s. president is capable of it is a massive source of embarrassment to the united nations rogue regimes represented in this body the arabian government. caters nicolas maduro dictatorship and destabilising regime criminal regime of bashar al assad regime rocket man rocket rocket. is on a suicide mission for himself united states is ready willing and able to totally destroy north korea totally ready willing and able to destroy totally destroy north korea figure portions of the world are in conflict and some in fact are going to

hell his escapades divided many left few were indifferent and in the buildup to this he is trump looks ready to outdo himself once again he will head the un security council meeting on iran next week that's while he's a lawyer shared this so i stated to the iranian government you must be truly afraid of being overthrown i don't know when we're going to overthrow them it could be in a few days months a couple of years but it's going to happen they're going to be overthrown juggling two. jobs it seems the president's a lawyer and freelance foreign policy advisor though at least he seems inspired by his boss's remarks threat posed by iran whose chief exports are violence bloodshed and chaos all nations of conscience must work together to isolate giuliani's stun triggered some emergency damage control protocols in washington how seriously should it take the iranians when they hear the president's

close advisor rudy giuliani saying there's going to be regime change and it looked the united states is not looking to do a regime change in iran at all that as the u.s. continued to bully tehran over the nuclear issue but trump insists he's playing the good guy and means well i look forward to being at the united nations next week we're going to make a speech we're going to have many meetings a lot of good things can happen at the u.n. though could take that with a pinch of salt for the international body good things meant the u.s. ditching unesco attempting to discredit the international criminal court and learning they're not so close when it comes to freedoms the united nations is not a friend of democracy it's not a friend to freedom it's not a friend even to the united states of america where as you know it has its home and it surely is not a threat to israel. and it's not just the u.n.

that wants to get on the same page as trump it's also russia china north korea about the rest of the world really and on tuesday the u.s. president will have his best chance to explain that he's not just a gung ho diplomat. he's going to do good things before it is catastrophic. i think is. the have worked in a few cases you know maybe in north korea. it got north korea to. soften up its stance on. its nuclear testing and its i.c.a.o. i.c.b.m. development. because it's so outrageous but if you do that too many times and you threaten you know to to break all the china in the shop and then you don't do it. then after a while it starts to be seen as a bluff and he's probably getting to that point where most people see it as

a bluff and respond to it accordingly instead of panicking and while the world awaits what trump will have to say at the general assembly china and the u.s. continue locking horns over trade tariffs new mutual restrictions have now come into effect meaning that goods worth two hundred sixty billion dollars and now subject to extra levies that china has already lashed out against the u.s. accusing it of protectionism an economic agenda any auntie's jacquelina as mine. the back and forth between the u.s. and china is quickly escalating into an all out trade war between two of the world's biggest economies and this latest round d.c. has imposed penalties on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods and that's set to increase further at the beginning of next year trump clearly means business we're also cracking down on the unfair trade practices from china we are far more bullets we're going to go two hundred billion to two what if i push it.

johnnie's very goods. and we will come back with war if they're rich we have a lot more to come back with but china isn't taking any of this lightly they've hit back and added more tariffs on american products were that to one hundred ten billion dollars and it might not stop their term has already threatened to impose tariffs on effectively all u.s. imports from china but what does this all mean for the average american consumer according to wal-mart the country's biggest retailer price hikes we are very concerned about the impact these terrorists who have on our business our customers our suppliers in the u.s. economy as a whole the company alyson the goods that will be hit ranging from food products to vehicles to toilet paper and wal-mart's not the only company quaking at the thought of an economic battle alibaba chairman jack ma is saying he can no longer deliver on bringing a million jobs to the u.s.

market this promise was on the basis of friendly china u.s. cooperation and reasonably bilateral trade relations but the current situation has already destroyed that basis this promise can't be completed and that's gotta hurt given how much trump loves to talk up how he's creating more jobs for americans nevertheless the u.s. president seems confident employment figures will continue to rise so it's full steam ahead. cherubs have put the us in a very strong bargaining position with billions of dollars in jobs flowing into our country and yet cost increases of thus far been almost unnoticeable if countries will not make deals with us they will be terrorist but china looks to be digging in their heels scrapping plan trade talks and tariffs are the only friction between washington and beijing the u.s. also slapped sanctions on china over the purchase of russian military equipment claiming the deal is a violation of

a lot meant to punish moscow for alleged meddling and the two thousand and sixteen presidential election again china isn't backing down they said they're going to continue cooperation with russia and will take it to a new level beijing summoned the u.s. ambassador and recalled their navy commander from a trip to america calling the measures a mistake. well in china you will move on we strongly call on the u.s. to remedy the mistake and cancel the sanctions otherwise the u.s. has to bear the consequences. so as the stalemates pile up so does uncertainty for chinese and americans i walk. a month long battle raging between the groups in the libyan capital has now resulted in one hundred fifteen deaths according to local health officials the most recent fighting began in late august with two major groups facing off against each other both of them are aligned to the government in tripoli which is recognized by most western powers though libya also has a separate rifle administration based in the east of the country and over the past

few weeks houses have been shelled and vehicles torched throughout a large area in the south west of tripoli all power supplies have also been shut down now a former deputy prime minister of libya told r.t. the conflicts being driven from both inside and outside the country mostafa good was a guest on our sophia what should a full data today for now a preview. it is a very challenging situation because of the militias who took over every part of the country and in and in there out of the east of the west out there everywhere and these militias they're getting support from internally and also from the outside clearly the for if the foreign intervention have to stop to stop supporting to be militias they should be insisting on on undisturbed of the country because really it is in the best interests of everybody so the government itself does not have much power one power to determine which is the power of money and

wealth and these are the ones which really kind of used over the last three years or almost almost three years no to protect itself because unfortunately the government submitted its well to the militias and that's where the. all of us. so what happens if you are a major media personality and make a wrong call on well not a lot it seems caleb maupin explains. back in two thousand and three when the usa invaded iraq mainstream media dropped the ball there were no weapons of mass destruction and the us troops weren't greeted as glorious liberators either now fifteen years later the same journalist that had us believing back then are at the

same thing now take bill kristol editor of the weekly standard back in two thousand and three he had as convinced that saddam hussein was on the verge of using his w m d's against the world no one questions for the more the basic facts about saddam hussein's weapons programs now he was very wrong but that did not stop his career not by a long shot in fact he's still the editor of the weekly standard which ironically has been named a fact checker by facebook he comes on television all the time promoting u.s. military interventions just like the old days what do you do when a google dictator wants to fight to do what you do is he's in his he's in his departure and i think we could do much more to do that if we don't just do a pinprick attack and i think the spinster became concerned in the concern of all of us hawks but a serious attack now another voice in the media chorus backing the u.s. military intervention against saddam hussein was judith miller judith miller writing for the new york times had us convinced that saddam hussein was trying to

make an atomic bomb it is iraq's pursuit of nuclear weapons however that is at the top of the administration's list of worries and forms a key part of its case for a minute to come pain to overthrow mr hussein in two thousand and fifteen she admitted that she was wrong about her w m d stories now judith miller is on fox news she's become a full member of the council on foreign relations and she is treated as credible on mainstream media when she talks about chemical weapons in syria but point of this action which is to restore the red line weekend the use of chemical weapons which bashar assad and russia aided by russia and iran have begun to use within the impunity. and then there is xan hannity the prime time fox personality these are his words back in two thousand and three this madman has killed a million and a hip people and gas children he hears it does it again just like many of his colleagues sean hannity was wrong about weapons of mass destruction in iraq but it

hasn't stopped his career now he's calling for regime change again this time in iran for me ask you and you have helped organize what's happening today you are in touch with them every day. how do you win a revolution without weapons and then there was phil donahue he was the lone voice on n.b.c. opposing the war he lost his show he was fired now we have a memo explaining why he would be a difficult public face for n.b.c. in the time of war he seems to delights in presenting guests who are anti war and see bush and skeptical of the administration's motives so we're learning from our mistakes right wrong we've still got mainstream media in the united states pushing unproven versions of events without firming up the facts that's ok it has no impact on the careers of journalists who push a popular version of events i think if you just look at the way and as n.b.c.

c.n.n. and fox cover world affairs and specifically events around countries you can see that the decision was intentional because of the way they frame their coverage no opposing voices are permitted when it comes to. the u.s. foreign policy and it's the agenda of the national security what makes this so dangerous is that american news consumers believes that they're consuming the news from a free media from private media channels that this isn't state media but when private corporate media channels so allow this green with former intelligence and military officials neoconservatives and say here is who are connected to every regime change operation in the last decade and a half is essentially national security state t.v. and zaentz in a much more insidious way than state t.v. could fire still up and coming here on the program on our t.v. and t.v.

breck said protestors in the back and that feeling is clear on the streets of a poll that story and much more. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected

. so when you want to be president. wanted. to be close it's like when the full story in the morning can people get. interested in the waters in the. city. and among the stories here or not international as sexual violence in south africa is out of control according to some of the latest estimates at the right level in the country is now one of the highest in the world and one of the latest cases a twenty three year old student from rhodes university committed suicide in august after being raped and the girl was reportedly attacked in may and killed

a self just days before she was meant to meet with investigators now this story provoked a wave of criticism not just of the rising level of rape cases but also increasing violence on campuses across the country and while the authorities say they're trying to deal with the problem many cases don't even make it into the spotlight. and the men in this country seem to think that because there's a patriarchy that means that they have the power of a woman and i think that's how the rape culture starts. and i was with him for about eighteen months. before he raped me.

he's called one day next to the tennis courts about two weeks off to the incident try to tell my mom about it and she dismissed me as a speaking rubbish after a severe. bout of depression actually tried. to be. starting to think they. did destroy my life because things were good i mean us millions still to this day. friends and i took a trip to cape town dance floor. i remember shots with some of my friends and. that's what i remember. i walk up the next morning and there was.

liquid that was not. mine that was on my body. and people have the right to say to me that i asked for it like who asked for something that is so painful and i think he also sees it like that where he said nothing happened it was fine we had fun we did our thing. bad and give you permission to trash me. maybe i shouldn't have been so. open and friendly and nice i should have gone to the authorities and spoken about it this happened so many years ago. let's get it. down to listing. they are in a sort of a class of their own but the people from little class and lower class that are

actually really suffering these rapes and sexual abuse maybe onto a scene we also have a problem with but they say p.s. sometimes leasing files missing evidence and we've got that happening in the hospitals as well and we have a lot of people who find that our foundation can say the cases to. themselves last. i think probably are should i say she should start off to members. only going to last time i need to just say what it's like having to try and sway the labor party to get past the full scope that if we can't support.

intermixed action no one voted for any sort of bricks in the politicians clearly can't get it sorted out with staring six months down the line hundreds of thousands of people losing their jobs we've got a government. storing food and medicines it is a disaster. we must have a people spoke the protest in liverpool comes amid growing criticism of to recent may's handling of the breakfast negotiations only last week a plan was rejected at an e.u. summit in austria leaving the u.k. facing the prospect of crashing out of the bloc next march with no deal in place after the summit prime minister made called for greater respect from our european counterparts at this late stage in the negotiations it is not acceptable to simply reject the other side's proposals without a detail of explanation and counterproposals throughout this process i have treated

the e.u. with nothing but respect the u.k. expects the same radio host and journalist john gaunt says we have a role reversal with the former remain to reserve may fighting for our long term critic jeremy colvin but second vote. but i think another referendum happened i think if they do w. riots on the street if there is a retrial of direction the democratic will of the people by saying the only trouble is she's not a should never have bridged well the united kingdom into this situation the democratic will of the united kingdom people was to leave we wanted to be out of there two years ago so there's no need for another vote and this is nonsense i'm largely down to mrs may being pretty useless. remain a cool story of this bizarre situation which sure he's amazing but she says

he wants out and jeremy coleman is saying he wants to stay the thing he's actually attraction to here they've got to start thinking about that party and their careers our great nation first and then go to listen to the people by sharing some of your money with us here at r.t. international we are back soon with. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see of that.

one else seemed wrong. but all wrong just don't call. me old yet to say proud to stay calm active. and in danger but it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. when norm a gets manufactured consent instead of public wealth. when the roman classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. to ignore middle of the room signals. the real news is.

the world. it's hard to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active and rich in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder slow and.
