in reports much of the rhetoric is feeding public discord on social vision but the midterm elections approaching things are getting intense across the united states bombs are being sent through the mail shootings are happening and talk of division is everywhere now in this context you would expect that american media would try to calm people down bring them together well not this time just turn on c.n.n. this president has radicalized so many more people than isis ever did the commentator has sense apologized but trump wouldn't be trumped if he didn't fire back there was a woman who was just on c.n.n. a short while ago saying that you have radicalized more people than isis that was c.n.n. tonight well let this be some kind of a sick woman that's media and politicians but entertainment is where americans go to relax maybe have a few good laughs but now a lot of comedians have found a new soapbox to stand on even a show that's about nerds with poor social skills is starting to put up anti trust

messages. if you knew of divine wisdom belief a fascist hate filled fan mongering demagogic truth shuttering or socratic govt cheeta is what we need right now then you know that they will be done but if i was inclined to more freedom more love more compassion i submissively os that though encouraged to turn out in that general direction h.b.o. comedian john oliver did a piece about state attorney generals there on the ballot in thirty different states come november for some reason he decided to criticize exclusively republican candidates across the country and if you live in wisconsin just google brad she will tend thousand dollar coins and you'll learn about how your money to spend ten grand of taxpayer money on coins reading. which stands for his actual personal motto kicking ass everytime. and music is now all about politics r. and b.

star farrah williams is threatening to sue donald trump because trump supporters were listening to his hit song happy while they were waiting for the president to come on stage it seems that some musicians would like to ban the make america great again crowd for listening to their music if only they could for oh has not and will not grant you permission to publicly perform or the worries broadcast or disseminate any of his music paid campaign advertising in the united states is very closely regulated by law however it seems that a lot of american t.v. not just news but also comedy shows celebrity gossip is taking sides and throwing punches no matter where you go in the united states you can't escape the great american divide let's say or it was a report of one particular story that donald trump had actually recruited more terrorists than isis ok that was then met with an apology and the apology was then covered and then we covered the coverage of the apology and then whether the

coverage of the coverage of the apology of the first statement was excessive. oh the media now are couldn't so mean our nose you see we talk about living in the bubble we are lead to media we believe that everyone sees things the way we do that they care about things that we do it's for them sounds you think america cares do you think somebody is going to say you know what i was going to vote for whatever but doggone it i watched the big bang theory and i watched this one flash and i changed my mind come on it's vanity license plate staying states and it appears like the republican party has lost perhaps its most high profile celebrity supporter in a twitter rant the rapper kanye west said he's being used after being linked to a campaign to convince african-americans to ditch support for the rival democratic

party conservative countess owens who's behind the campaign earlier praise collaboration with west i'm blessed to say that this logo these colors were created by my dear friend and fellow superhero kanye west. well in one tweet west said his eyes were no wide open and that he's distancing himself from politics it comes just a few weeks after west had a much publicized meeting with donald trump in the oval office in which he heaped praise on the president but now he clings he's being used to spread messages he says he does not believe it. is another story we're closely following today isel terrorists have gained territory in syria close to the border with iraq killing over forty u.s. fighters during over the fence of her washington had previously claimed that isaiah

was almost completely decimated as he said donald explains. from all the boasting you may have gotten the idea that ms alarming state in syria is so two thousand and sixteen the coalition to defeat isis has liberated very close to one hundred percent of the territory we've done a good job with those as we have just absolutely decimated isis but the latest carnage is a clear signal that the terrorists are not ready to buckle just yet they've squeezed every drop of profit from the victory they've been craving for so long from obvious territorial gains to a massive p.r. push they filmed their operation and spoils of war from all thinkable angles it seems even with reinforcements america's proxy ground force the kurds couldn't hold off the surprise onslaught hard for its incursion tuesday both sides but we will continue to go after them in the weeks ahead i saw the latest propaganda video even

includes a not so subtle threat a skyline view of the government controlled town but hold on just how much of a surprise was this latest isolette that really sure they moved in under the cover of a sandstorm but it's not like the kurds which are in charge of eastern syria didn't know eisel was on their porch they have been fighting terrorists in the area for a whole year but despite their best efforts to little success and that could be due to the fact that their effort has been dwindling gradually apart from i saw the kurdish fighters have been focusing on skirmishes with the syrian army and repelling the turkish operation against them in the north this plays into the yard as sounds perfectly since assad's forces are not going anywhere and neither is turkey as president erdogan tease the next phase of what he calls an anti terror operation in syria but don't use them as you know didn't we have started active

intervention operations against the terror organization in the last couple of days we will. soon come down hard on the terror organization with more extensive and effective operations the united states also has been convincing the world it's hell bent on cleansing syria of terrorists yet years own it's their area of responsibility where i still strikes well with its bloodiest attack in months and i wonder could it be because american troops are in fact miles away from all the action we don't have a contour a new mission here we have a defeat isis mission that competition between all these forces allows for isis to play back and forth every surrounding neighbor of syria including the syrian government have had other enemies to fight in other concerns isis is opposed tom number two it's a difficult problem it's also a divided syria because you have

a border region where you rocks on one side the syrian the democratic forces on the other backed by the united states and a syrian army backed by russia and iran are on the other there are many players in the syrian conflict and all of them are hungry for geopolitical bounty in syria and writing off early means risking another wave of terrorist resurgence let's keep attention now on syria because elsewhere in the country tensions are wrapped it does druze are a protested a local election in the golan heights a disputed territory between syria and israel dozens of locals denounced the vote as a legal and pro israeli. i.d.f. soldiers used tear gas to break up demonstrations when crowds trying to block the entrances to polling stations in several villages many people living in the israeli

occupied area have refused to take up is really citizenship consider themselves syrian it's the first local election since israel took control of the golan heights in one thousand sixty seven the israeli government approved the poll last year after an appeal from israeli the electronics. that. after more than three years of a devastating war the united states has cold on saudi arabia to stop its strikes on populated areas of the yemen washington is urging all sides in the civil war to reach a ceasefire agreement in the coming weeks according to a just released study the war in yemen has claimed fifty six thousand lives in the past two years a little while riyadh says' it is working hard to reduce civilian casualties.

yes some hard hitting imagery there neither a concern though for yemeni citizens the murder of a saudi journalist as well working for the washington post are enough to stop the united states from billing on its lucrative weapons contracts with saudi arabia we took the chance to speak to put a science professor calling kabul he's of the view that the u.s. has no interest in science in the saudis or indeed ending yemen's war. something has triggered this and the only thing possible is that it has to do with. this just

more of a message to saudi arabia that what the us is even in to do is to this law mohammad that's all other was the us they have. sanctioned i would doubt that they're going to in this conflict because if they really want to be in this conflict they can just kind of sending weaponry to saudi arabia west from its point of view and not allow. an independent movement on the arabian peninsula i think what they're trying to do is by just lud. and then they will restart the war in a different way. with more u.s. . guidance ok another aspect to this the british government is coming under scrutiny for its role in arming the saudis it's the second largest supplier of arms to riyadh the u.k.'s middle east minister was grilled of

a contentious parliamentary committee hearing on choose it this is some of what was said. do you have a problem with condemning and international violations of. international law incomplete mistakes and name the only thing that we don't do is she press the button to drop the bomb i'm surprised that all those who need to defend themselves the amount of raids targeting civilians is going to know if these are where they seem to be able to hold it and i do not agree that if you know i think that was simply to. deny support for a policy which is under threat and so people gauged in support of allegiance from its government it would say that. nothing to do with the. nato is holding its the largest military exercise since the end of the cold war the

drills kicked off last week stretch from the baltic sea to iceland military forces from thirty one countries are involved in a fortnight long maneuvers with over fifty thousand personnel two hundred fifty aircraft and sixty five ships taking part in all the alliance has even made its own video guide to norway where a large part of the exercises are being. you know we're both norway. you know. focus on restoring the. aggressor the icelandic. core supply.

hard to. break. it after the break.

the bed. seemed wrong. to shape our lives just to educate and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. i would hope to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president if you. want to listen. to the right person this is what the three of the people. interested

in the why. you're back with the r t international a fracking company in britain is calling for rules on gas exploration to be relaxed the spot the string of earthquakes resulting from its grilling activities operations resumed early this month after a seven year upon over safety concerns paul the boy who has been helping what's been seen. what happens when a company's just been given the right to start shale gas extraction but tiny earthquakes keep getting in the way that's the situation in lancashire in the north

of england where energy company quadrille are off to months of legal wrangling and protests. started commercial exploratory fracking two weeks ago since then there are already been two so-called microseismic events microseismic enough to halt drilling. boss of course drilling has the onset the government should just relax the rules and allow the company doing the fracking to frack on even after larger tremors because all the reports of seismic activity are scaring people it may well be that

we have reached that time not only for the u.k. shell gas industry but also to address the concerns of local people who are becoming increasingly worried by reporting of tiny movements in the us which are thousands of times across the u.k. every day as if they were harmful so here's how the traffic light monitoring system works right now think of it as the government danger scale fish oil gas extraction anything over nor point five on the richter scale is classed as a red light event and means an immediate suspension to drilling so called driller wants the red light event to be anything starting from two point zero on the richter scale environmentalists aren't so sure where with fracking at the moment it's a worrying situation and it seems to be going very slowly and cautiously as they should. if you if you then

over ground or terrain that's already been historically weakened significantly by historic coal extract conses consequences could be very devastating. and that effectively covers the entire. half of the fracking licenses in this country now is where the real problem is. the fracking fam has reasons to be hopeful though over the summer the u.k.'s energy minister said that the current monitoring system is cautious and could be adjusted on puts when the government came to prove that its policy of supporting shale gas extraction is bearing fruit a change in the safety threshold could mean christmas coming early for the fracking frustrated by delays. realistic and exaggerated and so an independent watchdog destroyed claims by the british

government's bosses they were called boasting about a scheme for women in developing countries allegedly knowing that the number of people who actually benefited from its being misrepresented. maternal health programs have had

a limited focus on strengthening national health infrastructure and institutions to ensure sustainable improvements in maternal health. the hundreds of luxury sports cars have been destroyed by fire in the northern italian port city of soft on the. well the cars were awaiting export when seawater flooded the storage area causing

their batteries to explode leading to the pictures we just saw indeed northern italy has been engulfed by heavy storms that have left eleven people dead the harper tinier of the apollo near genoa was badly hit south or it's reinforced walls collapsed dozens of left don't see front roads others sign aerial pictures show the scale of the struction. as a trade dispute over u.s. metal tarra fs reaches the world trade organization several countries are pushing the global body to review the charges. this collective resort's a dispute stance woman reflects the serious concern of the membership of the united states actions norway's worried that the united states would offer a purported justification that is so evidently divorced from real world security

concerns. you you may recall back in march this year donald trump slapped an import charge of ten per cent and eliminate him twenty five percent on steel america's biggest trade partners retaliated with taxes on a long list of u.s. goods by king strategist peter rosen strike thinks trump is not small to fit it by economic gain or. it's become a highly political highly charged environment you know there's additional political threats that you know if if the rulings don't go in the u.s. is way. that that the u.s. would withdraw from the deputy oh it's important to realize that everybody recognizes that the tariff move in the name of fair trade in the name of security is more from a change of america's strategic position then it is about trade this idea of a reed examining a bilateral relationships and redetermine and of these sort of historical

relationships and trump is basically blowing them apart and the world is creating a new order where the u.s. is not the central figure and i think you know these so small but powerful moves by they. and other international communities is a clear sign that it's moving shifting away from the u.s. as the primary axis of power that is our stories look for this art to remember though the solution to never being in the dark when it comes to breaking developments in the art that is available now to get your news on the go this is twenty four seven r.t. . while d.v.c.

evolves from this. one through like yeah yeah. rational a so that there. was that original of the. script the new doc awesome. zimmer pulled. the. small. fortune from the outnumbered a lot about this morning.

in a world of big partisan movies 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 on the bats 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 for watching closely watching the hawks.

jr times you're watching going on the ground ahead of tomorrow's vote on britain's budget that could spell the end of to raise a maze government coming up on the show carry on mendoza editors a top independent u.k. news site the canary on the coffee ism post budget class war and could have also narrow victory in brazil mean a return to the u.k. u.s. back to torture in the western hemisphere we speak to professor james caballero who has spent years working with some ideas. of major nations i should georgia plus former u.k. home office minister norman baker on continued u.k. intervention in the world's worst humanitarian crisis in yemen and this week's bombing of gaza goal is simple coming up in today's show but first forty four years ago today muhammad ali was celebrating as a throne drum bill in the jungle knock out against george foreman in what is now the democratic republic of congo in those days americans arguably did more than take a knee of the game they said things like this about nato nation foreign intervention in the developing world and went to jail for it hell no matter.

that all right in my. mind. i will tell you my problem you want to. do you want me to go from one fight what you want is not a. while britain's biggest stars have yet to turn out to against to raise a maze hostile environment legacy the us does of course have swapped stars like this who have upset president donald trump have cops that are murdering people we have cops in s.f. .
