everything else that comes along with money. the u.s. threatens saudi arabia with repercussions if riyadh is found to be responsible for the disappearance of a dissident a journalist in turkey. demanding everything we want to see what's going on here that's a bad situation this is serious it's time for the united states to rethink our military political. economic relationship with saudi arabia continue with contempt . for american graduate student is detained at an israeli airport and held for a week over her alleged support for the boycott divestment sanctions move. and the people on the caribbean island of martinique call on the french government to take responsibility for contributing to a crisis caused by the widespread use of highly toxic pesticide when he spoke.

on the recent. officials and no one there. are broadcasting live from our studios this is r.t. international i'm sean thomas really glad to have you with us where we start first with developments regarding the dissident saudi journalist who went missing in turkey more than a week ago secured a video has it been obtained by a turkish t.v. channel which shows jamal khashoggi entering the saudi consulate in istanbul he hasn't been seen since with the latest. new details and accusations are emerging with the disappearance of a dissident journalist after he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul days ago we saw c.c.t.v. footage apparently showing jamal the shuggie fierce critic of saudi arabia entering

the consulate new footage released by turkish media shows a black vehicle with tinted windows entering the premises of the consulate shortly after and leaving just minutes later the predominant theory echoed by both turkish and foreign media is that he has either been kidnapped or murdered and that saudi arabia is using the confusion to shift blame the 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 would put the blame on another country meaning turkey saudi arabia has since allowed both journalists and investigators into the consulate to show that jamal isn't there days after his disappearance although considering that all they really have to do is show him leaving who's responsible for showing that this person made his way out of the

building obviously the consulate responsible for that you have cameras that of course you do so you have to prove that he left the premises why did you do that you should prove it the b.b.c. interviewed mr shaw he just days before his disappearance and they asked him whether he would ever return to saudi arabia i hear. of a list of a friend who did. commit in the towards to be at least to make you feel as you little mr shoghi who has more than a million followers on twitter has been a strong critic of saudi arabia for what he says is censorship and human rights abuses and has recently been writing columns for the washington post the paper said that it would be a monstrous and unfathomable active he has been murdered and with this much attention in the case where bound to find out more sooner rather than later. twenty

two senators have written to donald trump a compelling him to launch an investigation into the case the u.s. president said on wednesday he had spoken to saudi officials but didn't give any further information riad still denies playing any role in the journalist's disappearance but it's facing a growing pressure from politicians in washington who are now threatening sanctions against saudi arabia if it is found to have been responsible. demanding everything that we want to see what's going on here that's a bad situation this will be a game changer for me regarding the kingdom of sony or if this is serious at some point those questions need to turn into actions so this is. rather not to say but the answer is yes it's time for the united states to rethink our military political and economic relationship with saudi arabia if it goes down the road and i'm worried about it going down the contempt will be met with contempt former u.s. diplomat jim john just told us he thinks the journalists disappearance may not be

the only reason for washington's tough stance against riyadh to be clear saudi arabia is usually immune from criticism from the american establishment they can destroy yemen they could cut people's heads off they could support salafi terrorist groups all over the world and suddenly over one journalist suddenly everybody's outrage we discover that saudi arabia is a is a repressive. horrible regime that kills people something doesn't smell right here there's something else behind this that is causing that kind of reaction maybe it's because he's with the washington post of course that's that's part of the religious stablished but but it just seems very strange to me that you take the case of one band and i'm not trying to minimize that but put in the context of everything else all the bloody murder of the saudis agog away with it for decades and suddenly suddenly it's a big issue. academics from around the world are rounding on israel after the country denied entry to a u.s.

student the twenty two year old girl had been granted the right to enter bond was detained at an israeli airport after being questioned about her political activities and her palestinian grandparents also here as more. this is the closest we can get with a camera see things going in similar which is just behind me for more than a week age twenty two old and many students are on the same has been held she arrived with a vat. the student visa but was stopped at border guards and asked if she had if it even a member of the boycott disinvestment and sanctions movement the media is now she said she hadn't but according to israel's strategic affairs ministry she was an active member and because of this in line with and his radio that was inactive last year she has been misused and treat that goal states that any foreigners he topic to knowingly participate in boycotts against israel can be refused entry and there already fifteen people who have been denied entry under the civil lawsuit filed an

appeal in the israeli judicial system but the court ruled that who refuse all of entry was valid she then followed a second appeal and the israel district court is due to begin hearing this on thursday these raids have repeatedly stated that she is not being detained and is free to return to the united states at any time she could fly back to the united states whenever she likes she decided to appeal and has been held in the facility for those refused entry alatas is not only was she not a member of the b.d.s. she would not have applied to study in this range to make institution if she was she's also promised not to do so in future now out of the israeli universities people knew that where i wanted to she was supposed to study a mosque just to green in human rights has also come out in support of her and a number of university kids have written a letter to the strategic ministry saying that despite the pull to open fainted

from entering this would only vote make it to be for the country this is improper use of the pose of the minister in this case of these homes that could be. very serious if you will not register voters remove those trees because if they participated in the demonstration or if they did the so if they do this they would have to leave consider the decision to come here and then on the total freak many people who find it so. so there we stop cooperating with this one because they want to cooperate to the country to meet the. joys of free exchange of ideas we this isn't restricted is ready to do nothing is really a carbon tax in this case. two groups remains including a strike to the decisions being overly. david frei lights the ongoing discussion over how israel handles critics against to want to see outside tel aviv. the boycott divestment and sanctions movement of that laura is accused of

supporting as a global campaign that was formed back in two thousand and five its main goal is to help palestinians and israeli oppression in washington has responded saying that israel has the right to decide who enters the country and who doesn't but we are aware of her case our embassy is providing consular access as we would to all american citizens we value freedom of expression ultimately it is up to the government of israel to decide who it wants to let into the country. by the u.s. state of tennessee has denied the request of a prisoner on death row to be executed by electric chair rather than by lethal injection ahead of edmond execution which is scheduled for thursday his lawyers have filed an emergency motion with the country's supreme court in the hopes of getting the state's decision overturned. through the choice of two unconstitutional methods suffered secure mr gorski has indicated that it hasn't is to move forward

he believes the electric chair is the lesser of two evils ten to eighteen minutes drawing separate and chemical burning is unspeakable well he was found guilty of murdering two men in one thousand nine hundred eighty three they had been expecting to buy around fifty kilos of cannabis from him he is said to have shot them cut their throats and stolen their money and truck pretty graphic there in tennessee lethal injection is the primary method of execution for inmates on death row if the crimes were committed before one thousand nine hundred nine though then there are also offer the electric chair electrocution can also be used if the injection is unavailable or deemed unconstitutional in the course of his case and prison officials say he needed to request the chair two weeks before the execution but failed to do so legal expert thomas roughen told us the inmates lawyers appeal will likely be rejected. most of the people who would be executed would probably prefer

lethal injection that is to be poison the deaf as opposed to be electrocuted lord before the deafening lecture cheer so this choice by mr the gorski is rather unique most people choose lethal injection i think the supreme court with this current make up would be likely to go forward to allow this execution to go forward unfortunately i think that's what will happen and there might be some question about the nature of the chemical mixture but that has been explored so much over the last ten years or so that i think mr gore skews chances of being say the net way are limited so on the other hand i think the more appropriate question is why would the united states in two thousand and eighteen still persist with executions when there are much more humane ways of punishing people. on the caribbean island of march uneek are stepping up calls for the french state to accept its complicity in a major health crisis there they say the failure of successive administrations to end

of the use of a highly toxic pesticide has left the french overseas territory polluted and caused cancer rates to rock. in the nineteen seventies this kind of ground zero was back in the in the usa he said during this period plus started using it in martinique until ninety ninety four so the question is why.

for years we have swallowed and inhaled these past decides not one yale two was feeding us on a regional health agency officials knew and no one is not population this is very. soon it's not possible to get an estimate of the number of patients who are victims of florida con he will be the priority is to determine the number of farmers who were working in the banana plantations i don't know hundreds and many of them have died of prostate cancer many have premature babies why did they let french people slip you speak take chairs because they contaminate us but they let us eat the same potatoes train same period tomato when one is aware that a product of toxic

a still use is assassination such as much of the french state is complicit in this assassination because they will slice. nice talks on. the steep must take its share of responsibility for this pollution must make progress on the path of for abrasion and project i hope that collectively we will put our efforts towards zero cortico in food that's the only thing that makes sense to please the feast we're not once did they are in doubt here is that it is unfortunately irreversible but i expect the culprits to take responsibility and face the consequences. as brett kavanaugh here is his first argument as a us supreme court justice the betterness and anger of his opponents over his appointment remains wrong as ever are his comments in now on how could have long

lasting political repercussions after a great deal of controversy brett kavanaugh has been confirmed on to the u.s. supreme court is it justice now as if all that controversy warranted enough we now have donald trump throwing some fuel on the fire on behalf of our nation i want to apologise. two bread in the entire cavity family for the terrible pain and suffering you have been forced to endure that's after civility disappeared a certain elements just wanted to stop brett kavanaugh in the twitter verse things got particularly ugly a late show writer boasted about having ruined kavanagh's life would have happened i'm just cannot be ruined brett kavanaugh and i and furthermore we got a google exactly i had to delete the following tweet you are finished g.o.p. you polish the final nail for your own coffin you all to hell it wasn't just on

social media things got pretty nasty in real life with activists harassing senators and it turns out that some of them were actually on the quad getting paid while they did it. there were people who are paid by organizations like ultraviolet to try to harness that energy in a way that would make the viral moments that we ended up seeing on the right wing the favorite buzz word was mob the mob descended on capitol hill they have encouraged mob rule mob rule the rule of the mob conservatives utilize the chaos in the capital in order to rally the troops and raise money like after ted cruz got harassed in a restaurant by activists. be. relieved they're not married early age made cruz's campaign says that the viral video boosted support and donations some experts are saying that this mob strategy is

backfiring their tactics had to haul that in so republicans and so you know if independents even more than the prospect of impeachment those we've used everywhere because he's effective. and other republicans who are running for office are following suit with finding swing votes is a turned off by how cavanagh was treated and we're responding now brett kavanaugh has confirmed he's on the supreme court that confrontation is over and it's starting to look like not only did the democrats lose but they alienated a lot of people in the process ok look him up and r.t. new york. i think having a saga has provoked strong reactions all around with plenty of celebrities weighing in weighing in as well with their millions of social media followers and loyal fans are to sleep trying to go comments now on the how even a simple tweet from the stars can stir things right 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 political headlines because taylor basically just said she'd vote for the democrats. will. this is serious news and one taylor swift fan is disappointed. well haters are going to shake shake hate hate hate hate hate guys from the right wing cam are razor sharp now taylor swift is a traitor they're saying but just a little while ago people on the left were telling her off for being too politically lazy not only as the voice of miss with mighty enough to sway an army of young voters you might well see her let's say out the united nations in a few years we've been there with some other celebs i'm not here as an expert

a senior figure at c.n.n. . they say the reporter has apologized and she has accepted it. i'm a proud gay man and i am a proud friend of caitlin collins though i'm disappointed she have used the word even as an immature college kids i can say with certainty it doesn't reflect her feelings towards the. community she's apologized and i accept that. carolyn collins is into the only media personality to become embroiled in scandal after making homophobic statements in april imus n.b.c.'s weekly presenter joy reid was forced to apologize for offensive remarks that appeared on her blog all right. trying to figure out where we're going now on one second we have a little bit of technical difficulties here. all right so back to our n.b.c. story years old offensive tweets also lead does need to fire james gunn who was

directing the blockbuster film guardians of the galaxy legal commentator horsa cooper believes that the backlash would have been far more severe if a right wing journalist had made the same comments. it's very disappointing that the double standard that members of the mainstream media including a well known highly regarded media institution like c.n.n. it's clear that if it had been any other non liberal mainstream media type if any of their workers had been found to have made these kinds of offensive comments c.n.n. would have called it a breaking news story right now a few media organs are covering this there isn't any reason why this wouldn't be covered in the new york times or the washington post except for the fact that it's c n n and that fair. may pioneering

mission that they hope will yield a major breakthrough for regenerative medicine russian scientists are sending a three d. by a printer up into space and that's because space is cool they believe that zero gravity conditions well allow for complex tissues to be engineered with greater precision with more here's artie's down a quarter. we're standing right now in the baikonur cosmodrome located deep within the central asian steps of kazakstan now this cosmic drone is the world's most active rocket launch site and it's where actually the first man in space yuri gagarin blasted off on bostock one into orbit now this rocket behind me right here is called so i use m s ten and it's set to send this years cause i'm not crew as well as russia's first three d. bio printer to the international space station. three

d. printing technology is hardly new it's already being used to print anything from weapons to houses three d. bio printing in turn is being developed as a way to print human organs and tissue research that could save the lives of millions of people but why send the technology to space well scientists growing artificial cells on earth say they don't take on the same structure as they would in the human body but in reduced gravity the cells have a more natural shape so sending them to space could produce serious strides forward for the medical community back on earth earlier we got a demonstration of how the technology works with us to the mile by point a lot of our going off. and actually doesn't move like a classical loss three d. printer because we will not find here and swipe well from all of that muscle so here we use magnetic forces for mothers of cells or of the call them teachers for

hours so i'm going to cue it through them but on the two of them saw the crew through and you will see the process so it's a formation three more of. the crew members here at baikonur seem optimistic about their newest assessment of. what kind of excessive. successes do you expect from you so the first ever russian produced three bio printer in a zero gravity on the international space station almost look what. it's going to be the first sun the experiments will be close on the ice surface leading to devise it into two parts the first votes of this pyramid it will go from simple procedures to macomo it once and the results will be sent back to. work through the material for everything will be ok it will continue working to move complicated.

that's inflationary we see the dollar eventually cracking and have a catastrophic collapse that's usually inflationary so prices across the board go up that makes that russia saudi arabia venezuela. their oil based economies they all benefit wildly from this emerging market takes a benefit of this then oil and gold gold started to perk up again then but going of course would skyrocket two hundred thousand plus. you know world of big. law and conspiracy it's time. 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. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching.
