and that statement from secretary pompei oh are you assuming that taking time to put out a statement means that the state department has not been doing anything is that your assumption what was the state department doing state department was engaged at the highest levels and also at the working level and having conversations with saudi government officials and i'll leave it up and so what was the reason behind that delay statement i wouldn't i wouldn't call it a delay why has not secretary powell pale said that if the reports are true and the saudis our allies turn out to be cold blooded killers that there will be repercussions we're going to wait until the facts come out and we call again for a thorough and transparent investigation or be repercussion again let me say this one more time i'll leave it at that i mean i don't have anything more for you on this to last time i'll say this i don't have anything more of you on this today i don't have anything more for you and when i do i would be happy to give it to you

the turkish investigators were granted permission to search the site it killed slipped in istanbul shoes they were the journalists was seen for the last time security cameras they filmed actually entering the premises to obtain wedding documents were reports helping circulating which site turkish security officials claiming that a saudi hit squad may have been sent to kill the regime critic but we know the cause shall be work for the washington post where he how they regularly call him he's long been a prominent critic of saudi leaders the head of the turkish media association claims riyadh is trying to pin the blame for his disappearance although. they use anonymous social media accounts to blame turkey and imply that turkey is behind the disappearance of shogun they are trying to say we murdered him but we will put the blame on another country name in turkey. well saudi arabia strongly denies having any role in disappearance and says' it is conducting its own

investigation into the matter the executive director of the rome paul piece and she too told us donald trump needs to tread carefully over his response or risk alienating a key middle east partner president is in a very delicate and precarious situation because on the one hand he's tied his mass to a degree from the stars can stir things up. today here to tell you about taylor swift no it's not that i switched to m.t.v. she's out there in the top hole little headlines because taylor basically just said she'd vote for the democrats. this is serious news and one taylor swift fan is disappointed. that. well haters are going to shake shake hate hate hate hate

hate guys from the right wing cam our ways are sark now taylor swift is a traitor they're saying but just a little while ago people on the left. america is great because america is. coming to a will rapidly make twenty nineteen around the time that twenty twenty presidential contenders are expected to stop announcing that plans to run for the white she does not look presidential she doesn't have the stamina stamina tremendous stamina every time i think about troop levels or just. look basket of deplorable she's guilty is what was his response to. being rather have

a puppet as as president or no props today no you have the russian. locals on the french island off martinique in the car to be in say their health is at risk because of a toxic pesticide now the chemical is banned on mainland france but i wonder say it's been a large for use on their plantations for decades and claim it's causing major illnesses.

in the one nine hundred seventy s. this compound was banned in the usa they said during this period most died of use in it in martinique until nine hundred ninety four ago so the question is why. we're here is we have salt and jailed this case decided not trying here all too often it was four years on that and there is no health agency you officials knew and no one there looting the populations and this is very bad. and certainly it's not possible to get an estimate of the number of patients who are victims of the article on the priority is to determine the number of farmers who were working in the banana plantations i don't know there are hundreds of many of them have died of prostate cancer and many have premature babies.

but why didn't they let arrange people eat this be shitty to us because they're contaminated but they led us even seem pretty tense during the think periods in martini that when one is aware that the product is toxic and still uses that is that is assess a nation that is mind that the brain state is complicit in the success in asia because it also wisely years of toxic prada. the steve must take its share of responsibility for this pollution must make progress on the path of for abrasion and projects i hope that collectively we will put our efforts towards the record of coal in food that's the only thing that makes sense completes the feast we're not once to facts are there in deleterious than it is unfortunately irreversible. expect the congress to take responsibility and face

the consequences. on the way don't shoot the messenger news agencies backpedaling after sharing scientific research suggesting people could go green by having fewer kids. descending into tribalism and cultural trench warfare a highly contentious break cavanaugh supreme court nomination process has ignited passions and anger on both sides of the aisle interestingly and ironically the point where there is wide agreement is the recognition the status quo. sadly with no way out. you know world big.

and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now watching closely watching the hawks. hello again the french news agency a.f.p. has found itself being targeted on twitter for publishing swedish environmental research would suggest solving one less child could reduce people's carbon

footprint generated a remote sarcastic i agree tweets in response. well the news agency distance itself from the research pointing i thought it was simply reporting the information of all the people in power as shared their thoughts with us the study. i don't think we should stop having children just for the sake of the environment i think it's a rather monic thing to say now that's a concern i think we are on to drive less other things which he said when i find

this idea shocking. it's a personal choice a little to allow anyone to come and tell me mr you have three kids that is too much you should have just one all none of the school to save the planet is beyond the pale you can just tell people hey stop making babies that's now and those who sat that must have smoked weed or something that's not normal. what about our freedom what kind of country can imagine its future a green future with no kids i mean we might as well all stop breathing and make a green patent once again but then there would be no more human beings of course this is shocking because i do think that they're afraid the french love their children to like children and in no way could be convincing them that they have to reduce their carbon footprint or be more environmentally friendly if that means having less kids i think that's the worst argument that you can you can expose if you want to defend the idea of very much today why is the a.f.p. not talking about pollution in france by major french corporations those are real issues if you want to reduce pollution across today french people are concerned by

the environment but telling them all was said in that the solution to one of the ideas could be having less children are comparing major countries which are polluting with just fresh families having kids is i would resist really say preposterous this makes no sense and i should be should be quite ashamed of what it did. for the headline stories this hour a u.s. school is under fire after it separated a young transgender student from classmates during an emergency lockdown drill for a gattaca teachers up the middle school in the state of virginia couldn't decide whether the pupil should take cover in the boys or girls locker room so was kept away l g p t write scripts say this stuff should be charged with emotional abuse. during an event that prepares children to survive an attack by actual assailants she was treated as if she was so much of a danger to peers that she was left exposed and vulnerable. well school authorities

are now i pledging to review all protocols and procedures to make sure all children are treated with dignity and respect in future or how to handle transgender issues is something schools in several countries are grappling with hawkins discuss with outspoken radio host john galt veteran l g p t campaigner peter tatchell. what do you make of the way the teachers handled this incident and separated these students during a drill now if this has not been a drill if it had been a real live incident of a terrorist attack upon that school i feel here that as the teachers debated with the trans people where to place them. the baptism for was the discussion. were ended up with they would have all been exposed and could have all been potentially killed everybody eases treading on eggshells around this subject so you're probably correct that the school was worried they would get accused of transphobia old whatever they want to call it this way the main thing is in this

kind of situation get the kids to a safe place you know this is just a trans people again trying to dominate social policy trying to change the world into their way of thinking doesn't have to be so you're going to boys and girls that's not necessary just get the kids whatever and whatever their sexuality to get them to a safe place protect the kids that comes first the most important thing is that we understand and accept the right of trans people to live their lives with dignity respect and with our living in fear the whole idea of equality is that we all have equality what is happening at the moment which is that you militant trans all around the globe as they try to dominate the agenda on every single subject they're trying to make usual whether we like it or not accept trans women as if they're already on. missions will be needs to calm me down

a bit the militant ones. and perhaps even extremism is the cry of downtrodden oppressed suffering people but they lash out because they've suffered so much so i think the only. way i agree that the debate should be done in syria off the john let me finish i didn't interrupt you i think the debate should be conducted in civil to. gender is about much more than physical bodily builders and cultural trench warfare highly contentious spread cavanagh supreme court nomination process has ignited passions again for on both sides of the aisle interestingly and ironically the point where there is wide agreement is the recognition the status quo. sadly with no way out.

now imagine return to new what you're going on the ground within twenty four hours of u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley in from his for appearing to warn russia and iran of imminent war resigns coming up on the show from bricks at the n.h.s. the scottish referendum screwballs o.p.c. w. what other is there no end to moscow's reach and power in controlling international events and on the world mental health day we speak to disabled people against cuts about why the united nations could again be investigating the u.k. government over universal credit loss on the headlines at the top interpol crime boss who got busted and the top breaks it is eco tet i've seen it probably all the some more coming up in today's going underground but first it's ten years this week that u.k. labor prime minister gordon brown infamous for shortchanging the british taxpayer when selling gold has his chancellor alistair darling implement socialism not for

the ninety nine percent but for the city of london will always remember the day when i received a call from the chairman of r.b.s. this was the morning that the shares had been suspended not just once but twice by the london stock exchange and he phoned me and he said look we were hemorrhaging money and i said how long can you last and he said well we're going to go bust the softer because millions of others who couldn't make ends meet for them and their families were given no such bailouts this from a chancellor whose boss gordon brown had lavished u.k. taxpayers' money on an arguably illegal war it's something alluded to by jeremy corbyn interviewed on r.t. as brown testified at the inquiry into iraq what we should be talking about is the principles behind the iraq war the process that led up to the invasion and the political as well as financial consequences eight point five billion pounds. british money has been spent in iraq already the policies of u.k. labor bailout pm gordon brown they're being downed by jeremy corbyn speaking to this channel in twenty ten and if anyone thinks austerity is over soon into part
