democrats desperate to rest but control of congress from the republicans campaigning has been fierce. you cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for. it is. gone whacko and angry left wing mob and that's what the democrats are. two words i'm going to define the night of the two thousand and fifteen election one which kavanagh and the other is caravan supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh brett kavanaugh witches that are placing a hat on brett kavanaugh caravan invasion or about the caribbean chair of.

the series of suspicious packages sent across the country mail by mail bombs fire alarm here will keep you posted on that. believe me over. the last. the terms in the united states are held every four years half way through the presidential term this year americans have lost choose including all four hundred thirty five members of the house of representatives thirty five seats in the senate and thirty six they governess but this time around it's really all been about one

man and he's not even on the ballot killer morgan explains. usually the midterm elections in the united states are about as exciting as watching the grass grow low public interest in a low voter turnout and the ads have a very amateurish quality to them. for the agenda a vague and. then mr trump said you're right. so why is the biennial snooze fest suddenly turned into a political extravaganza well it's apparently about one man i'm not on the ticket but i am on the ticket because this is also a referendum about me so let's go over what's at stake. the big one is impeachment if the pollsters are to be believed the democrats could regain control of the u.s. house of representatives with

a majority they could then gain the ability to bring formal charges against the president impeachment has been on the minds of some democrats that he is impeachable the democrats want to retake control of the house so they could move to impeach the president telling me it impeachment you think trump should be impeached i would vote yes you would have to take a vote i would vote. now the democrats could get the ball rolling with the u.s. house but whether or not they'd be successful is a different story let's remember no president in all of us history has ever been removed through the impeachment process richard nixon came close but he actually resigned before the senate could put him on trial but impeachment fears aside a blue wave could put the brakes on the presidency. so trumps policies that's what's really at stake here if the democrats regain

control of the house they could block and delay the donald's plans he can kiss that big beautiful power. wall goodbye plus if the house goes democrat but the senate remains republican we're going to have some good old fashioned washington gridlock two words for you government shutdown. in the case of a democratic surge we can expect an onslaught of investigations into the trumpet ministration with the house majority the democrats could subpoena witnesses and get their hands on key documents this means that all things from business transactions to furniture purchases and sexual assault allegations all of that could come under scrutiny so we are going to have oversight committee hearings on their presence use of the cell phones the democrats take over that he's going to be subpoenaed to investigated to seek the truth now results are hard to predict but one pattern from the post twenty sixteen world seems to be playing out pretty well at the polls

americans get to choose between chaos and more chaos cable mup and r t washington d.c. . you want the truth of ministration is racing a foreign interference in the china russia and iran of meddling in voting through social media. critical elections coming up in november and control of congress at stake twenty eight t.v. this year's midterm election with this year's midterm elections as the twentieth mid-term election season begins to heat up there are new concerns about the security of america's election system i mean how secure are we there's been some finger pointing at both iran and china. now to a developing story we have a great news to tell you about it got us here in russia so i guess the simple question is is russia still targeting the united states no question the russians will meddle in this year's midterm elections russia is at it again at it again

russia is up to its old tricks. be seen to be either willfully or blissfully ignorant of what's going on. why would the president say that they are doing this why is he such a russia he hasn't even tweeted a single piece on russia's goal is real simple a message to the road trust to create division of social and political content carry out cyber attacks two of them or the other nefarious that you were in the middle of information and meme warfare is james bond evil villain level plotting the russians they know everything that irritates this country when congress and the general public disagrees simply along party lines and the russians are winning they seem to know everything that hurts they're going after all this stuff women fighting around this country have been heating up more so they're really not articulating a single viewpoint they have weaponized freedom of speech and the public loses trust in the press the russians are winning and the only thing stopping them is

news media broadcasts like this be careful what you read they're still trying to get in our heads in this country resilience need to stand up and say we're not going to allow some russia to tell us out of the. time declare. who rushed us. the. end of. the day before the votes the f.b.i. along with other government groups issued a joint statement warning americans of possible russian meddling in ads that the kremlin could spread false information and propaganda among voters don't you mcadams executive director of the wrong paul institute says moscow's alleged interference has become more of a political tool than an actual security concern. well the interesting thing is there's never been any proof presented it's just a bunch of scare tactics i initially the claim as you remember was that the russians tried to help trump when but when they could deliver no evidence

whatsoever it became some amorphous thing like they're trying to undermine our faith in democracy by making us argue with each other as if we've never argued with each other before on these issues but what's interesting is the spending on the advertising in these midterms election there is a good piece in the nation recently that found that from mid september to mid october in the house races they spent point one percent of the ads mentioned russia point one and in the senate not a single ad mentioned russia what does that tell you if the democrats really believe that this president is controlled by russia then why have they said nothing about it the fact is they do not believe it they have just used it as a way to try to overturn the elections they're not going to put their money where their mouths are because they know there's nothing there. iran's foreign minister has released a video lashing out at when you do u.s. sanctions hommage of odds are if added that he's focused on minimizing their effect

on his people. the u.s. administration appears to believe that imposing illegal draconian sanctions on iran will bring about such pain to our nation that it will force us to submit to its bid no matter how absurd. or fundamentally flawed it's demands ours and today we and our partners across the globe will ensure that our people are the least affected by this indiscriminate assault in the economic warfare that directly targets the iranian people notwithstanding hypocritical claims by the trumpet ministration to the contrary. live on cheese day spain joined russia in condemning u.s. demands countries follow its we need sanctions on iran. at a joint news conference in madrid moscow's foreign minister sergey lavrov said u.s. actions on terror and where absolutely illegitimate and disappointing adding and

washington's ultimatums were quote unacceptable and spanish counterpart josep burrell echoed those concerns actually i agree with minister lavrov in his rejection of any kind of approach that sounds like an ultimatum including from the u.s. the e.u. and spain in particular have been very critical of the usa as you knew lateral decision to denounce the nuclear agreement with iran which affects us badly from the point of view of both the economy and security and the european union insisted on doing everything possible to keep this agreement alive for the sake of our companies so that they could continue working investing and trading with iran the information that we have is that iran is complying with its commitments in this agreement and the u.s. does not have any arguments or reasons to reject it. meanwhile france germany and the u.k. have issued a joint statement defying trump's threats to european companies that are doing business with the islamic republic they say that they will work to maintain and to

develop financial channels with iran a moscow insists that tehran has been in full compliance with the terms of the nuclear deal donald trump described the new restrictions as the strongest american sanctions ever they affect more than seven hundred individuals they also aggressively target the financial energy and shipping sectors american iran appear at an impasse over the sanctions. bring in a load of a noose former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament good evening to you sir spain doesn't like what is happening but would it have reacted differently if it was one of those eight countries getting a u.s. waiver. i'm sorry. the spanish reaction was pretty much in line with the russian reaction they don't like the actions that the u.s. is taking it's their own but would they have reacted differently with they've been so upset if they got one of one of those eight u.s. waivers on trading with tehran and they've been given a free pass effectively. well actually i do believe that what is happening right

now is something new in the historic relationship between the e.u. and united states i mean the e.u. and united states have had their rausch in the past as well but this is really something that goes to the core itself of that relationship well you could say that would have made a difference if they decide to run a bit listen this does or dad i really don't think so that the if you had been pretty steadfast in keeping on defending this deal and your arguments are are as clear as water i mean iran is abiding by the conditions are fair and the reasons why the united states do have nothing even to do with it whether iran respects it or not and the era being union actually for the moment is struggling with this new situation with this but this president and does not really know or you should not

forget that as up until now foreign policy of the united union sorry was mainly you know reflects if whatever the united states has said not because they just fall into good and mostly agree with it also and now there's a fundamental disagreement now why is it spain that is so explicit in saying that has a of course a lot of do with the new government in power there. for a few months now and that is also a part of internal spanish politics you know to show that how you look how independent we see things against our allies overseas but there are other things at play too i mean when you say the e.u. is just defending its companies that is correct and that is certainly one of the reasons why they keep on respecting. them wanting to agreement to stand but that is

more ads. that is more than staying there is under the surface a fundamental disagreement with the way that the present us administration is has been dealing in political affairs where that will lead us no one will know but it is clear to me that the united states of already for some time even before this present one term is a losing its economic and political edge of money power of the world but it remains by far the biggest military power and how that will play out to watch iran and all the us no one will tell i hate to give doomsday scenarios but this looks funny and dangerous indeed and for once i have to say that the analysis that the minister the russian minister of foreign affairs mr locke as given. to the correct i totally agree with it and many people in the european union as well because you know some of you have to sometimes a single government and public opinion is not always exactly the same i mean the

government here in belgium in holland and so are very slow in decent matters but basically when they are so slow in not standing by the u.s. that they'll you know a lot of things already given also the historical context so we're dispelled you never know and i hope that it will work out somehow because this is indeed a very dangerous situation lodhi said a couple of minutes ago that in your opinion the u.s. sanctions on iran have nothing to do with the nuclear deal if not them what all the about yeah of course of course i mean this is maybe putting it too hard it has of course to do with the fundamental disagreement that the present people in power in the u.s. have with this deal you should not forget that these people and there were obama still president people like john bolton already said that if ever a chief power there were to counsel that deal they all work so that it is not thing new there but it is more than that. this has to do i mean you should not forget why

is the u.s. so aggressive against iran has nothing to do with the return of the character of that regime because we have regimes that are allies in that area will far worse i mean saudi arabia to name just one it has to do with the feeling that they have that they're losing control of the middle east and then that this one country that doesn't abide by the rules their rules that is to speak and i do believe that my fear is also that for the moment you know in the past or bamma even george bush jr you knew that somehow there were advisors in the background who said ok let's let's turn down this a bit and but this president doesn't he didn't even have a reasonable advisor by his side and where that will lead us are i'm sorry to repeat myself again this is uncharted territory this is indeed something that we

cannot predict what is going to happen in the coming months we should not forget these sanctions will have an impact on the people of iran what will happen there how will the regime in iran to react i mean this is all very tragic volatile situation low that turkey has reacted to the sanctions let's have a listen to what's been said. while we were asking for an exemption from the united states we have also been very frank with them that cornering iran is not wise isolating iran is dangerous and punishing the rein in people is not fair to the kids against sanctions and we don't believe and the results can be cheap through the sanctions. if you could just very briefly do you think more countries will come out and make a stand against the u.s. over this yes don't that i'm positive an absolutely sure about more countries will come out and especially maybe not directly but in the coming days or weeks when

their companies their businesses their own their prices are going to start feeling the impact of the sanctions they're going to knock on doors in their national capitals and you may rest assured they are going to react in terms that are new within the context of the u.s. relationship great to speak here appreciate you coming on r.t. load of a noose my guest former deputy speaker of the belgian parliament always a pleasure. moving on paris paramedics have been blocking the city's ring road under the key routes for a second day the so-called snail protest perfect things this hour blazing has been parked across the road reportedly scores hundreds of kilometers of traffic jams and demonstrations over changes in conditions that the paramedics are saying will put them out of work. i.

do so as you saw on the. use. of. all these protests are just the latest to hit france in recent weeks they come as right wing party leader marine le pen has overtaken them on your mark ran for the first time in the polls ahead of e.u. parliamentary elections next year r.t. strong quarter takes a closer look. france has broken out into protest as of late on nov fifth five hundred paramedics as well as two thousand supporters took to the streets to protest a government reform that would end state funding towards medical transportation and on the same day macron found himself trying to diffuse growing up roar about the rising taxes on fuel prices in france already angry citizens are prepared to block roads on nov seventeenth in response to this with authorities preparing for the

worst and recently there were even several severe building collapses in a poor neighborhood of march say with leftist politician john mellon chon saying that it was due to an indifference to poverty in france and that latest polls are actually seriously reflecting this says for the first time ever marine le pen and her euro skeptic party are polling at twenty one percent that's higher than macron and his party's nineteen percent and amidst all this macron is beginning to promise things on an e.u. scale for example a new european army separate from nato and dependency on the united states we can't protect europeans without a real european army faced with a rush to run a buddhas that's shown itself capable of being a threat i want to create a prosperous security built against russia which is a country i respect which is itself european we need a europe that can defend itself alone without depending only on the united states

in a way that exhibits great to sovereignty so as macron continues to focus on issues like a european wide army and these problems internally in france become larger issues for him it just starts to seem more and more like he'd rather become president of the european union than continue as president of france. over fifty thousand people being killed during the yemen war since two thousand and sixteen but it was the death of a young yemeni girl that made headlines this month of the face. but banned her photo warning you may find the following image disturbing and this picture of acutely malnourished seven year old was first published last month by the new york times tens of thousands shared the photo on facebook for the social media giant removed post for violating the company's nudity policy. you just removed a new york times story about the saudi war in yemen because it goes against your standards yeah nothing sexual related nudity like

a starving little girl and i was disappointed when it was taken down so quickly and that something so important was being scrapped from people's news feed. while he has become a symbol of the crisis in yemen died of starvation just days after the article was published the parents told us about her harrowing story. i'm a marksman there are situations getting worse and we're suffering from malnutrition and passed away from our new tradition after twenty days in hospital one of my neighbors call to say that one of my children was sick i dropped my daughter and one home that's true today she died of malnutrition her brother is also l. before she died and left her brothers at home and then with her to hospital but she died on the way.

despite the fact that she was sick i loved her brothers whatever she needed i did my best to bring that to that but i had no money to send her to or santa. the father went to borrow money for her burial my cetacean is bad my hope has gone after market. we spoke to u.k. charity oxfam's representative in the region he says the crisis in yemen is not getting proper media attention. it's been about all journalists entering yemen for

some time now getting us it was the signs of some of the coalition of the horses in this room serene and also your sources of many very very difficult for journalists to get into the area and that's when you know it's really very difficult for agencies like oxfam with us to actually tell the story of what's actually happening there because we needed social media back to ask expose what's going on i mean it's horrific the numbers are quite startling and to seem to see that it is that we could have gotten million people stalling and the british government the french government the american government. and all supporting this war is this is this quote incredible actually i mean the policy is just simply wrong and they have to stop it they have to brilliance this war we have to do it now. star midfielder one of england's top football clubs this received abuse and threats on social media after refusing to wear the traditional remembered papi ahead of

armistice day which marks the end of world war one in saturday's match for manchester united serve an ammonia matic did not wear the flower which is also seen as a tribute to modern day british service members he later explained his decision. i recognize truly why people wear poppies i totally respect everyone's right to do so and i have told all sympathy for anyone who has lost half one's duty conflict however for me it is only a reminder of the bombing of serbia in one thousand nine hundred nine. don't feel it is right for me to wear the poppy and my shirt. even reportedly said she was so fundamental that he would leave the club and england if forced to wear the tribute on the selection show you have a chef he picks up the story it's not every day you see a professional footballer take a hard political stance but that's exactly what manchester united. did regarding wearing the poppy the symbol of remembers of veterans in britain last weekend

during a premiership game he did not wear that poppy on the field was the only player not to do so and then he came on instagram to explain his decision saying that while he respected the decisions made by other people for him it was something that he remembered as a child when his country was bombed by nato forces well you would think that this would pacify all the tension because it was heavily criticized for not wearing this poppy but yes some people took to social media to deliver a lot of abuse towards the serbian player now some were suggesting that he should be injured others were saying that he should leave the country and play elsewhere but in serbia his decision received some price appreciate it decision politics shouldn't be involved in the sports and people should not attack him about a decision i appreciate also decision to explain to fans why he made the decision on the game and in general. i would do the same think he did the right thing

and then when your mouth it's no i think is the. very very big no football player. like a man you know because this is the good good good think he's doing now but even in the england itself explanation left very mixed response some people actually defended him and said they respected his choice after all he was not even an english player but say that to stoke city's james maclean from republic of ireland who also refused to wear a poppy and got so much abuse coming towards him. that it's just you know the social media literally exploded with vile things said about the republic of ireland international play and he even had somewhat of a confrontation with the fans at one of the recent stock city's games so all this basically raises a big question what is wearing a poppy in england a symbol off remembrance or something that you can use as a stick to hit

a player if you refuses to wear it based on his nationality if your teammates are doing it. especially in a change sport then i think that really sometimes you should swallow your own personal. opinions i don't think but that is only interest to deal with it because everybody's doing is dealing with. the war us become but for me is that what i did if he lives and works in britain he has to shoot off on the national dish and puppy days especially yes he should yeah. i think you're right if they tell me for the latest at the top of the.
