like the lottery winner. here we are. having. international donald trump. hostility at the c.n.n. headquarters as well as a number of prominent democrat politicians receive. crude explosive devices. just sent to c.n.n. and the president doesn't say a word about them and then tells us we are to blame. for the. faces accusations of aggressive lobbying reportedly using fake groups to.

pesticides and we talked to one very real. the syrian opposition delegation will meet with the russian foreign minister on friday to discuss the situation in the last remaining militant stronghold. we also discussed with the international committee of the red cross i was completely overwhelmed by the destruction of these absolutely critical to ensure that these people can regain access to some basics. here in moscow. in the whole crew and international welcome to your story. the u.s. president donald trump is facing a backlash after a number of prominent u.s. paula. titian's received packages containing crude explosive devices cnn's

headquarters will also talk that critics say trump's device divisive rhetoric and attacks on the media are in part to blame the president though in turn says it's the media that's polarizing americans and fueling hostility as part of a larger national effort to bridge the divides and bring people together the media also has a responsibility to set a civil tone and to stop the endless hostility and constant negative and oftentimes false attacks and stories have to do. they just send a bomb to c.n.n. and the president doesn't say a word about that and then tells us we are to blame did you learn nothing from today. not a word for anybody not a word about himself. well apart from the c.n.n.

headquarters hillary clinton barack obama and other democrats are among those two of being targeted with eight packages in old intercepted none of the policy was detonated the new york mayor has described the atmosphere as full of hate. this is a very painful time. in our nation. it's a time when people are feeling a lot of hatred in the air in addition to new york city mayor bill de blasio we have heard from the n.y.p.d. as counterterrorism chief and he has confirmed that four of the explosive devices that arrived in suspicious packages seem to have the same source the devices that were sent to barack obama and to the home of hillary and bill clinton the device that was detonated on monday at the home of billionaire george soros and the device that was found at c.n.n. headquarters all seem to have the exact same source they seem to have come from the same person the device was capable of going off these are pipe bomb like explosives

now we're also hearing at that at this point in addition to the package containing the explosive there's also been a package containing suspicious white powder discovered at the c.n.n. headquarters explosive devices had to have projectiles and that's or. excuse me that sounds like a fire alarm here we'll keep you posted on that he didn't tell the young me and back you laid it the lights were turned out and as he got out you know either at the end he might still evacuated in addition to that we're hearing that at this point andrew cuomo new york city governor his office has had a package discovered at it the office of maxine waters prominent democrat in california has been evacuated the office of debbie wasserman schultz former chair of the democratic national committee in florida has also been evacuated now hillary clinton has spoken up in response to today's events talking about divisiveness in u.s. politics this is hillary clinton but it is a troubling time isn't it. and it's

a time of deep. division. and we have to do everything we can to bring our country together hillary clinton others talk about you know rancorous you know the tenor of. it everywhere there is also on another wave if you will rhetoric and that is various democratic leaders maxine waters in eric holder who are saying you know go out there and what you say you had strong supporter in our restaurant there went out and have at a gas station north or somewhere and you get in their face and when they go low we fight this rhetoric granted not on the level of pipe bombs and white powder but this is what we've been talking about all over the place. you know attentions are also heating up along the us mexico border as

a large migrant a caravan approaches the frontier and with midterm elections looming politicians are certainly seeing an opportunity to school points i've been watching for weeks as the caravan came up not letting them in and not coming in and they're not coming and. everyone in this room is an immigrant you know who in the white house and so a little bit of a different picture he was talking about this caravan the caravan the caravan. there has been assured legal immigration recently caravan of immigrants was stopped by a group of flag waving protestors ministration official say they're working as efficiently and as effectively as possible u.s. government doesn't give them any necessity when they dropped off the bus station. showed you the challenges the trouble ministration had dealing with the crisis they

inherited from the obama administration who got a. pass from the media on causing this crisis what happened to the democratic party as one said bill clinton president obama understood that border security helps define a country you. better security and prevent people from entering believe this is a moral and humanitarian crisis we simply cannot allow people to pour into the united states undetected undocumented this is what we just got from president obama he writes immigration can be a controversial topic my administration acted to lift the shadow of deportation from these young people so we are a better country then one that cares families apart we turned it into a great political football and people are still all kinds of political points. did president obama really poured more people than any other president in total president obama had deportees more than two point five million undocumented people

by twenty fifteen. immigration found the political issue when there is obviously a policy on the table or some ships going out on this particular matter. on both sides and i think when we get you know a dozen days away it's. such a vital election huge surprise. and i think the question is what do you manage in the kind of rhetoric from both the right you know last half hour we're not just people going through the next time the. chemical giant monsanto is facing accusations of paid tens of thousands of euros to enlist the support of farmers across europe to lobby against a ban on one of its pesticides greenpeace also says monsanto set up fake farmers

groups to promote the benefits of the product but as aussies are short of explains some of their members are in fact very real. an investigation carried out by greenpeace says it's uncovered some startling truths about how monsanto a company tourist spots controversial range of weed killers has been lurking opening its interests in the investigation alleges that hundreds of thousands of euros were spent in creating fake farmers' groups to promote the main chemical found in monsanto's products so fake farmers fake groups at least that's according to greenpeace but when. a little bit closer something didn't quite smell right greenpeace say that this lobby group in france isn't real but we ought to search for the people behind the names we have real farmers using.

it's very good news it's not good it's not true i'm real and i know other members that are real farmers who work every day i'm not a fake i'm not a ghost i'm a real farmer i'm passionate about my work we asked greenpeace to detail why they believe the fallenness were fake despite giving the organization five days to respond greenpeace said it didn't have the capacity to get back to us as stuff was swamped so the fall must definitely flash but he's behind this organization supporting the chemical is it the new tourist monsanto to me it's not sure why but you tube is really good if i can list the companies as i don't know them by heart but i understand why the industry and its farmers defend themselves so everybody criticizes monsanto i don't want to defend them monsanto produces very little of the glyphosate in the world it's other countries and companies that produce the most absurd. denise says he cares about the land they slant his

product so why does he use a product that's been labeled as. toxic to aquatic life and is described as a probable human carcinogen by the international agency for research on cancer. we thought that all the other and now assists in tests we're talking about eight hundred studies in the world confirm that this product is not dangerous why do we use glide for safe because it's practical because we use very diluted amounts you want to punish us by removing it all it's not considered dangerous. in a landmark ruling a judge in the u.s. awarded a former groundskeeper thirty nine million dollars after he developed cancer following exposure to the company's weed killer saying monsanto had failed to warn him of the risks monsanto denies the product causes cancer some countries aren't sold on the

safety of the chemical and have already restricted its use but the pharma we talked to is worried that a ban on the weed killer will do more harm than good if. we shouldn't forget it's there to see if we're the only country just stop using it we will be disadvantaged the primary task of carbon emissions will increase will need to work the soil more and overuse the equipment and the work hours instead of a little dose of driver safety of which allows us to make the work easier and we shouldn't forget about that pharmaceutical group which now owns monsanto has dismissed claims that the chemical in question is carcinogenic and that's despite repeated warnings made by the world health organization on this issue one agricultural expert we spoke to says the chemicals impact may only become evident over time. you know you don't see. animals and plants keeling over and dying. in an immediate manner the problems are related to

much more subtle effects on ecosystems and on human health. that i linked to here amount of blood for a site that is being used and i believe it is essential that more research is done the science is not clear but to turn around. the use of. contending how to sides. with the overall science. and quickly turning into a busy day for worldwide headlines here on r.t. international still up and coming in this program today sees the start of nato war games since the end of the cold war right along russia's borders story.

you know world's big partisan movie lot 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. 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufactured insensitive to the public. when the ruling class is protect themselves. when the family. lives only the one percent. can all middle of the

room see. if there's a program here on our to you welcome to it a delegation of syrian opposition forces is set to meet with the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov that will be here in moscow on friday now the situation in syria is live province will ultimately top the agenda of the talks the two sides will also discuss the launch of a so-called constitution committee for syria and this is seen as a key step towards finding a political solution to the ongoing crisis in the country after seven years of war italy province is now the only remaining militant stronghold in the entire country and there are an estimated thirty thousand including ten thousand al nusra terrorists and that's according to numbers from the united nations. a deadline for

militants to pull out of a buffer zone around the province imposed on the road turkey russia brokered deescalation deal was recently extended roughly three million civilians live in a lab and many of them continue to flee on a daily basis. to see what we were living in a camp life was difficult there was no aid no bread no water everything was scarce the situation was terribly bad well after the second year is barely any shelter in winter and in summary would suffer from the heat that was our life. dominick still hot director of operations of the international committee of the red cross has just returned from eastern guta a former militant stronghold recently regained by the syrian government.

just returned from eastern court yesterday and. i have to say i was completely overwhelmed by the scope of destruction in the east and i think i have never seen anything like this in my twenty seven years of career of the state the national committee of the red cross the scale of the needs starts to emerge starts to emerge and definitely there will be a need for huge support for all those people who are living there in these areas affected by conflict as well as for those who are returning east. of. the approximately three even more than three million people who used to live there and now it's only three hundred fifty thousand and. place where i was nearly ninety percent of the infrastructure is completely destroyed you see entire

neighborhoods that are at the steroid houses that are become have become completely unlivable. is what i was talking about the people who are back and people who are living there they can fend for themselves off some of the basic needs we are distributing on a daily basis together with the syrian arab red crescent what these now absolutely critical is to ensure that these people can regain access to some basic so obvious as such as water sanitation hales and here there is still a lot to do and again together with the syrian arab red crescent see he's making a very serious contribution. well. particularly concerned about the possibility of escalation. of violence in that there are up to three million people living in this province.

there would seem to leave result in a humanitarian disaster so very grateful for all the efforts that have taken place in the past few months and hopefully we'll continue to avoid escalation even he'd lead because. as i said this would result in a very very serious humanitarian disaster. the whole war that has been watching the syria conflict for a force for seventy years and we have all known for a very long time that this is and continues to be the war conflict that we see very very long and yet there doesn't appear to be sufficient political convergence to bring this conflict to an end so i truly hope that we now see

the end of that we will now see the end of this conflict so that humanitarian aid can finally reach all the people of syria who are sold desperately longing for peace and need to be supported for a long time to come we definitely do all we can to convince. all those who are supporting the humanitarian effort been syria to continue supporting the people of syria as i said if anything needs are just going to grow in the coming months and years and really. as far as the i.c.r.c. use concerned to continue our effort at the same level as in the past few years because now people are also are all all also getting more accessible and therefore

we can do more and we absolutely need to make sure that we can maintain the humanitarian effort at the levels of the previous years. sees the start of the nato largest war game since the end of the cold war tens of thousands of troops as well as warships and planes arrive for the drills in norway which of course shares a border with russia. but this is an important day because trying to ensure is nato's biggest exercise since the end all the cold war.

this is not what is fictitious but the lessons we learn will be real. well the russian defense minister has expressed his concern about nato has increased military activity in a rush as borders he said that has now reached a level not seen for nearly three decades. well the thing is that the need to use military activity at the borders of russia has reached an unprecedented post cold war level the scope of operational military training at our borders is expanding and becoming more intense bloc countries are engaged in offensive drills the aim of all this is increased capacity to swiftly deploy troops across europe. gates has been aggressive towards many countries as in wars with a number of countries right now has military in about one hundred seventy two countries has about twenty times the number of foreign military bases as all other

countries combined and i see these new war games close to russia as a further ends of that aggression in this case towards russia the united states made a promise after the fall of the soviet union that it would not go into knots in nato into the warsaw pact countries or the former soviet countries and today it's in thirteen of those countries so it never abided by that pact and this is clearly an aggressive move on the part of the united states and nato in my opinion that's the program for this hour on the international we were told in about twenty five minutes i hope you can join us that.
