used to be. the plane that. was on a flight from london to help. the n.b.c. news network. us president to make him look like. taking two days to correct their report. on the media so we. have to be open to listening to different countries different peoples interests was . always going to be people living in different universes.

is close to. regulating everything from what he can say online to how he should. he speaks exclusively with the captain of the. minutes often take off. memories with. a very warm welcome to you of course it's international. passengers on a flight from london to have stood up for a man who was being deported from britain the man was apparently shouting and crying resisting the deportation when fellow passengers decided to intervene however as aussies bully boy who explains there is an ugly twist to this story.

take them off the plane exactly what they care most of what was taking most of the plane this is the moment the passengers on a flight to istanbul stood up for a man being forcibly removed from the u.k. the home office was attempting to deport you could be ahmed back to his home country of somalia which he'd left when he was reportedly a young boy. was a little over the fire. but his screams alerted the other passengers on board to the fact that he was being made to leave the country against his will so fellow passengers leapt to his defense he says whatever it was i was forgetting that it was his book was short it was a few minutes later home office officials scored off the plane and back to u.k.

jurisdiction. it's now been revealed the passengers helped to keep in the country is a convicted gang rapist in august two thousand and seven he brutally assaulted a sixteen year old girl along with three other men in a premeditated attack he was sentenced to nine years in prison and he was released after four one of his fellow gang members has since traveled to syria and died fighting with islamic state terrorists the passengers on the plane are unlikely to have known ahmed's dangerous criminal history and the loss of security was never to seek out. the suit was going to lead to discovery that it was very little now thanks to their intervention you have had is thought to be back in a u.k. detention center while government officials tried to place him on another flight his lawyers now have time to appeal the to sit. to deport him the u.k.

isn't alone when it comes to citizens disrupting government approved deportations early this year in sweden a student activist refused to take a seat on a plane until a failed asylum seeker who was being sent back to afghanistan was taken off the flight and she live streamed the entire incident gold chain it's not. going to get killed it was later reported the man had been sentenced for assault the u.k. home office says that all foreign nationals who were sentenced for a crime and abuse the u.k.'s hospitality should be in no doubt of the government's determination to remove them but the government may not have banked on citizen activists being just as determined to let them stay we have asked the u.k. home office for a clarification regarding the identity of the suspect earlier though we did speak with former chief executive of the u.k.'s immigration advisory service mr keith

best he believes that cases like this one should not be decided by the public they should be decided by the courts and i think this example shows how wrong people can be although they may have sympathy for somebody particularly if they're being manhandled in a rather aggressive manner to get them on an aircraft in order to deport them i can understand where people sympathy might lie but of course as we've discovered with this case those sympathies may be very misplaced if the authorities want to use that line for deportation cases then they have to do a balancing act between complying with the legal regulations or look seeing human rights safeguards and to make sure that they are fully articulated in favor of somebody who might otherwise be removed wrongly.

u.s. news network n.b.c. is under fire after showing remarks by president trump on the american civil war out of context making him look like he was praising a pro-slavery confederate general the author did correct its report only two days later. caleb maupin looks at how the us media is becoming ever more polarized in the liberal side of american media donald trump was in hot water they had him on video praising robert e. lee the pro-slavery confederate general during the us civil war they even had video evidence for their claim of obvious racism it also gave you. a general. who was incredible he drank a little bit too much. you know what i'm talking about. so robert e. lee was a great general. but it turns out that n.b.c. misrepresented the comment the general the trunk called incredible was actually

ulysses s. grant the general of the union army now grant was anything but a racist in fact after he became president he even sent troops to fight the ku klux klan years after the civil war was over and b.c. had to run a retraction and show the full sound by a general. who was incredible he drank a little bit too much. and his name was green general grant. anti drum faction smelled blood and went into overdrive they ran all kinds of headlines about trump praising the confederate general even said he was a big fan of general lee they even quoted distant descendants of lee denouncing the president and yet again our president is longing and showing us his true colors he is showing us that he supports an idol of white supremacy and hatred robert the least for the continued in. our bodies but the pro trump crowd was watching to.

lately different movie the news in right field was that trump was innocent victimized by scheming liberals so folks in the anti trump camp got confirmation that the donald is a racist meanwhile those in the pro trump bubble got confirmation that the liberal press is out to slander him and that's just one example of how americans seem to live almost in two different realities with loyal audiences getting sucked in by different narratives they lie in bed and i turn to decide if the temp of ministration is more sinister or more incompetent well let me relieve you of your burden. next time you can see that it's both incompetent and cynicism i think it's fair for black americans to say you know what i could consider the truth but judge the made in america make america great again so we're here in liberal new york city and we're going to see if average new yorkers have even heard some of the headlines that are all the rage among conservatives. did you hear about the controversy regarding the the movie about the moon landing and donald trump didn't know but did

not one controversy i haven't heard about you know i haven't. did you hear about trump praising robert e. lee. ever to leave yes i think i have yes i heard. do you feel like americans are divided and that like those who listen to protract media hear one side of the story and those who hear anti trump stuff hear another side part of your question i definitely feel like the country is divided by believe that from file it was follow incorrect maybe fake is. but i don't i'm out of time follower i believe the media i do feel like it's divided we have to be open to listening to different countries different different peoples interests as long as there is a divide between. ethnicities and cultures in no line of respect between these of them there's always going to be

a divide and there's always going to be people living in different universes to some donald trump is a heroic champion making american great again to others he's a power mad fascist inciting bigotry no matter what you think of donald trump it's pretty obvious that americans are more deeply polarized than ever before and warring media narratives are deepening that division cable mop and r.t. new york donald trump has branded n.b.c.'s coverage as dishonest claiming that the channel deliberately made him look bad we discussed the situation with an investigative journalist max blumenthal who says americans are being left none the wiser by the news coverage. point worth making about fox and m s n b c is that their formula is to cover a very narrow range of topics so if you watch these networks you probably aren't going to know much about what's happening outside of american horse race politics so no matter which network you're watching you are going to wind up less informed

unless you're completely concerned with the different palace intrigues going on in washington that's why a lot of americans are turning to alternative media as well as foreign media and why foreign media is under threat in the u.s. why this network for example has been forced to register as a foreign agent it's pretty apparent that the national security state in the u.s. doesn't want to americans to be particularly well informed about foreign policy and what's happening on the ground in yemen or in palestine or latin america. ecuador has agreed to partially restore internet access for wiki leaks founder julian assange has been denied since much of sources close to him have told you that he's been given guidelines on how to act online but it could also wants us to be on his very best behavior offline as well and to keep the embassy well nice and

tidy. so wiki leaks has now published that nine page protocol for more on the details here. sources close to jude innocence of told r.t. that the ecuadorian embassy imposed a new protocol that covers the day to day aspects of mr sun just life inside the ecuadorian embassy in regulating it really they cover things like how his visits are managed in any visitors who wish to go and see the former editor of wiki leaks

will have to make an official inquiry via email and also how he communicates with the world we know that six months ago his internet access was cut off it will now be reestablished albeit part partially and also things like his medical treatment how he's treated medically that will be covered within the framework of that memo and also it prohibits him from doing will saying anything which is deemed as interfering in the inside of affairs of other countries and of course six months ago when his into that access was caught it was a result of the various statements he was making with regard to the independence referendum in catalonia and as a result of that of course having his internet access cut off they've now prohibited him from making any statements that are considered to be political meddling now in september mr sound was forced to resign as editor of wiki leaks he

was replaced by kristinn hrafnsson an investigative journalist from iceland and wiki leaks releasing a statement saying that it was due to the extraordinary circumstances that he had been placed within the ecuadorian embassy which is why he had been made to stand down now of course it remains to be seen exactly how this sets of rules impacts mr sanders life inside the embassy and also remains to be seen exactly when he will finally be able to leave the embassy. the dramatic escape of a two man crew from a failed soyuz rocket launch left many on the edge of their seats on thursday russian cosmonaut. alexy of children and american astronaut nick hagen narrowly escaped as astor and their rockets failed just minutes into their high speed flight we have an exclusive firsthand account of what that experience was like from captain alexy of training himself it was just a bit earlier joined by artie's he could have done. the had a little if you can still couple of moments when we saw that the capsules you were

in in was shaking heavily and the signal was there was a disruption in the signal was this the exactly the time when you realized when everything goes according to plan when the first stages detached or if there is always this kind of vibration i can see on the video images that's normal in your view but after the first stage detached we felt those vibrations continue and then immediately there was the emergency signal going off this was the last. for us and for your family well my family members after having gone through the situation the next time it will be more difficult for them to let me go on such a spaceflight because obviously they've been given a fright but on the other hand they are confident in our equipment and what we're prepared for anything that can happen but this is our job and we can't stop what we've done we need to move on. baikonur when you landed what was the first thing you told her i told her not to worry i said i was ok i said my health was in good

shape and said look at me i'm walking and nothing is broken so don't be frightened and after she saw me with her own eyes she calmed down so that's how it was you can capture the full version of a new view on our r.t. you tube channel anytime you like by for the meantime though still to come on your program here on r.t. the mayor of a small french town is waging war on fast food giant mcdonald's we'll explain why in just a. you

know world big partisan. 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 smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and 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 for watching closely watching the hawks. to choose their news here on r.t. a canadian a transgender athlete is facing

a backlash after winning the cycling world championship a rachel mackinnon who was born male finished first in the race in los angeles this sunday becoming the first of a transgender woman to win gold in this competition but her achievement was met not only with applause. unfair advantage and not to be celebrated look at the difference in size and muscle mass of course you were going to win imagine being the woman who came forth knowing that you should have a place on the podium. amazing i was so infused at reading this i went out and challenged two eight year olds to a one hundred meter race guess what i only went and won first time running in an eight year old's race to the winner denies any accusations saying she was forced to suppress her testosterone level in accordance with competition rules on transgender athletes so we debated the sensitive issue with our guests. what i find strange is

the hue and cry being raised over transgender athletes but not over other athletes who clearly have certain advantages over fellow competitors i think the way in which transgender athletes are being singled out is very very unfair and wrong now of course we do need to look at whether transgender athletes do have an advantage which is unfair and gives them an advantage over others but i don't think the research really substantiate that at the moment the female athletes themselves fear feel that there are some particular disadvantage in competing somebody who's gender has been. in some cases changed you know there have been cases in the past so i mean the most celebrated. american tennis player really richards who was a man was a useful player. and then our underwent transgender.

and competed as a woman and reached the following all of the double this of the u.s. open tennis championships you know one of the four grand slams one of the most important in the world as a singles player ended up growing twentieth and this was at the age of forty four when she reached that level and you would look at that cage some say well would it really richards as a man ever been able to reach those sorts of heights as a man and that is of course extremely doubtful there are all kinds of advantages that athletes have for sprinters having fast twitch muscle fibers definitely gives you an advantage it isn't just this issue it's a whole range of issues about where genetic another bottle factors may give a particular athlete the edge over. i certainly think there should be as far as

trying to gender intersection situations. going further the man i think would be an enormous task. quite god proportion hopefully there would be some kind of consensus and we could establish a regime for all sports where. simply athletes who are transgender and intersex but also those who perhaps have other special unique physical attributes or biological genetic get tributes that they could be included. dozens of palestinians were injured after the israeli army fired rubber bullets and tear gas at students and officials who were protesting the closure of a palestinian school that served two villages in the west bank the closure means five hundred children will no longer receive an education.

the israeli army is firing tear gas bullets and sound bombs at our children why just because palestinian students come here to live near completion authorities to nice even the right to education. little. that we do we brought our children to the school because we want them to study just like other kids all over the world the decision to close the school violates their rights to education and we reject. the israeli army says the reason for the school closure is that some of the students have been throwing stones from its grounds claiming that the facility had produced acts of terror the

i.d.f. is now the clear the school a closed military zone but palestinian schools are not only subjected to closure aid agencies warn that there are at least sixty one schools in the west bank that are under the threat of demolition right israel they see it as a violation of the children's basic rights to an education and the editor of the news website palestine chronicle says the demolitions are actually a pretext for seizing more territory for illegal israeli settlements. the need land and the need the land of the need of the other villages and this is why the targeting of these of these areas so basically it usually starts with the confiscation of palestinian land then the targeting of any even the city and who does protests then declaring more and more palestinian lands to be closed off military military zone and even sure these closed off areas are joined

by or are added to the jewish settlements that are in constant expansion this is a story that's really goes to the heart of israel into couldn't a solution of the west bank this is about building settlements and of course that would point every adult pretense in order for them to put the blame on the kindest in the us who are fighting for the wife and there are five or there. the mayor of a small french town on an island off the country's atlantic coast is waging war on fast food giant of donalds which hopes to open approach there but he just lost a second but legal case resulting in big fines for is anti big mac campaign but he vows to fight on the locals seem to be somewhat divided. i.

about the quantity well we all know nice what ality only issue with fuel there is this kind of ecological extremism islay now today mcdonald's means creating more jobs reviving the town you see see the new muscle to thank for joining us on it this tuesday your program returns of a top of the no. one else seemed wrong but. just don't call. me. yet to shape out this day because that's ahead and in. the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart. we choose to look for common ground. with make this manufactured consensus stick to the public well. when the

ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round listen to the one percent. time to think no middle of the room sit. room. cranking gave americans a lot of new job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year truck so i chose to drive trucks beautiful story and with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's

not what it used to be. it's a tough reality to deal. greetings and salutation. you know money makes the world go round talk watchers and politics when done correctly should be the grease that helps keep the world a spinning but what happens when the politics gets in the way of the money even worse when the money gets in the way of the politics if you would like the real world example of these two problems i just mentioned may i present to you the united states of america today is led by president donald trump and our two gangs of the beltway the republican and democrat neo liberal con parties. the stock market as we know is taking a savage beating lately highlighted by last week's midweek selloff that saw the dow

jones and dow jones industrial average drop over thirteen hundred points in this latest low comes just a week or so after the market posted record highs on october third and while the stock market continues its also inducing rollercoaster in steps u.s. president donald trump to offer us is reassuring words telling reporters. i think i'm crazy. you see trump is blaming the u.s. federal reserve for the up and down stock market due to its recent decision to raise interest rates moving from quantitative easing do quantitative tightening trump breaks new ground with this criticism becoming one of the first sitting presidents in the modern era to actually criticize the decision making of the federal reserve to tragically not for the right reasons sorry ron paul in the fed fans trump was criticizing the fed because it's rolling stone matt taibbi

eloquently writes he doesn't want to have to pay interest on the giant sums he will inevitably have to borrow the paper is idiotic tax cuts remember when i mentioned that bit about politics and money earlier well when standing at the crossroads of money in politics my friends it's best to wear your waders and open your umbrella because the lies will be falling in the b.s. rising until you start watching the hawks. this. is. what it's like you know that i got.
