the. president. who initially rallied against his nomination. against his removal. republican women. betraying feminist values. in favor of the g.o.p. candidates in texas i'm very tired of being castigated as. simply based on

my skin color who are you who interests are you representing your only as a white woman. other white women and we absolutely have a problem absolutely. coming up on the program thirty people go on trial in germany accused of brutally mistreating refugees. around the clock across the world this is your r.t. international from the team myself you know not only you alone welcome our top story protesters across the united states have rallied in the wake of donald trump's decision to suck his attorney general jeff sessions they fear. the most probe into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen presidential election

will be sidelined. cause. president trump's decision to sack the government's top lawyer came after the midterm elections in specht a twist those who initially opposed his nomination have not taken us you can see to the streets over is departure but a scale up up in fund they don't seem to care much for the mom and so. jeff sessions the u.s. attorney general who just stepped down has got some new friends liberals and progressives across the country are taking to the streets to protest his removal it's over nine hundred cities that are having protests a major mobilization but was jeff sessions a friend of progressives hardly jeff sessions of i was a zero rating for the human rights campaign on gay rights a guy who asked the department of the national council of manny's why they were

buying so many books on islam the zero tolerance policy means zero humanity and it makes zero sense for his politically motivated voting fraud prosecutions to his indifference toward criminal violations of civil rights laws back in two thousand and sixteen when jeff sessions was first nominated the liberal organization known as move on dot org issued a petition opposing him they accused him of making racist comments opposing equal pay for women and immigration and opposing hate crimes legislation this is how jeff sessions confirmation hearings went dear friend. oh eric. but now the very same organizations that protested against his nomination are now protesting his departure they fear that the removal of sessions could pave the way for an end to the bob muller investigation into alleged ties between trump and

russia the recent nothing i like about most of the people they found with trump appointed. i mean but you're protesting his departure right well actually now. that's the key but i'm uli's physician and investigating until he finishes it takes a month or it takes two years so this isn't really about jeff sessions about. it knowing snowing to above the look that's what i'm here for to do protest when he was appointed. i protested the immigration policy on the families that gathered day are you protesting now. because i'm mad as hell and we're not going to take it anymore move on very very definitely protested and had a petition going which i signed with regard to the appointment of joe of social as attorney general given his track record as

a racist but the point is at this stage of the game i'm not and i don't think move on is protesting his removal of raul there hoodoos who is before steve outside of the constitutional provision just to be his replacement very deep board this thing back in two thousand and sixteen jeff sessions was public enemy number one as far as lots of liberals were concerned but now that he's been removed it seems that jeff sessions has joined an elite group of people who've been fired by donald trump it seems like in twenty eighteen in the united states politics isn't so much about principles but rather about who is your friend and who is your enemy . marty new york. only u.s. is still reeling from its fiercely disputed midterm elections which saw the democrats win control of the horse but failed to take the senate on some key states that they had hoped for such as in texas where the republican candidate ted cruz well enough for

a tight battle another accusation white women help cruz win and thus betray feminism with their vote a problem in sports journalists at all the debate. fifty nine percent of white women voted for ted cruz fifty three percent of white women voted for donald trump so given this number who is a real face of feminism well i was just really the latest criticism of republican voting women by liberals and progressives here's a few more examples what is happening why are women even voting for him yeah i don't get you ladies i meant the country's fifty five percent of it i mean the country was pretty. well we have tons of black presidents when i see women doing that i think why are they publicly disrespecting themselves voted against hillary clinton voted against their own voice. and by your vote for anybody nobody

you are a woman and you are never going to get it and it will be looked at so i guess. i don't get it. she scared me or we put the issue of feminism in politics or debates with a media commentator on a women's rights advocate the tradition of women just a voting independently as they think and not based on their gender or their skin color or those kinds of things that is true independence i'm very tired of being castigated as some sort of racist simply based on my skin color and especially and especially because i happen to be the mother of a child with brown skin and so to decide that based on my skin color that i as i sounds worry what are you voting sound the best interests of there is around here here is the person accusing makes the person accusing me the actual racist.

no it says there's no such thing as reverse racism will start there but here's the issue if you're not voting in the best interest of that boy you get the rule around child that you have then here's the question what type of mother are you because here's the question at the end of the day we want children to be protected so we need gun laws that reflect that if you're voting against the interest of your own child in school then we have to raise the question what are you voting for the second red flag i don't care how many are you in do you have other women and their reproductive rights when you know that ted cruz is not interested in protecting protecting reproductive rights when you know that ted cruz is not interested in equal pay for other women and you know that women who are brown skin and women of other ethnicities are paid what why women are paid then i have to ask you the question who are you who interests are you representing if you're only as a white woman workers into the best interest of other white women then we absolutely have a problem absolutely it is the republicans by the way it is the party of abraham

lincoln that actually fought for civil rights and won over the democrats so if you want to vote in accordance with what is civil rights and you would want to vote republican now thirdly she brought up the issue and we don't know that those are how to is someone and we say when i was it was party sealed in there that's my stance and that's the feminine stance on that now thirdly when she's talking about how do you said of course i want to get on this affair of the limits right so i view all of that and all that has made me girls who were aborted what about their rights if you're going to talk about women's rights what about the baby girl's rights who are killed ten thousand per day every day you know i know you love my mind about republicans you talk about abortion but do you protect the children while they're here if it's ok for you to lead a school full of children be shot i do because you as a woman want to have the right to bear arms but you don't protect those children who can't carry guns inside those school i mean it's insane and so when. you talk

about oh well i support a man who you know ted cruz but he doesn't support by with when you're a conservative woman you celebrate the things that you've actually accomplished based on your own you know own drive and your own freedom and your own will and your motivation and those kinds of things that's what i would rather be judged for the rather than things like going backward to things like religion and skin color and gender to me those in the home and they those are the ones that we say are they . going to stay with and we need to get really come over here and basing things on marriage and accomplishment because because no matter what skin color what gender you are you can be anything you want to be we're the freest best country in one particular they hire a real race and this that hillary i'm thing to celebrate her for not i wanted to whine about and to vote with their other white community and so we're going to forget about all of those things and just stand on my privileges and raised to you raise them where he is and he wants to stand there i'd like to just say thank you

to jim l. hill for for what he said i just support her as a michigan state alumni i want to say go girl. and if you go into more world news this hour the trial of thirty people accused of brutally abusing refugees out an asylum center in germany has opened for years now after the shocking revelations first came to light some of the worst abuses were filled. leashing but i don't have a small leadership decided yet. the incidence allegedly took place in the town of burbank in the western part of the country prosecutors allege stuff beat terminated and humiliated asylum seekers or lock them up for days at a time images of the abuse were leaked to the media sparking an outcry the shocking pictures include a security guard posing with his faults and on the neck of a one cuffed refugee social workers security guards and other staff are among those

now if facing charges of assault and false imprisonment one of the accused disputes however the gravity of the claims. how do you feel about the fact that you're being accused of this. it's an exaggeration again and see more than that. well the company operating the migrant center has denied claims that money has been turned a blind eye to the abuses saying instead that a group of security guards had gone rogue we spoke to a member of germany's left party who say so luck of plumbing as of another stumbling block and how to address migrant crisis in libya he said anyone who are. police have to follow the constitution and have to. follow human rights you cannot will be engaged in human rights abuses and treasury those centers are

understaffed and underfunded and it will just say you know we're not going to manage. what it is that angela merkel lachie had no vision and she had no actual funding secured to take care refugees and so this is a sign. of chaos. i guess. a military unit in ukraine with the neo nazi links is suspected of training american white supremacist groups some were arrested for inciting violent attacks during protests in the u.s. back in twenty seventeen the f.b.i. are investigating the allegations. the as off but sally in is a paramilitary units of the ukrainian national guards which is known for his association with neo nazi ideology and use of nazi symbolism and which is beliefs

of participated in training and radicalizing united states based white supremacist organizations this was a quote from a criminal complaint and the man who wrote it was behind investigating terrorist groups in america for the f.b.i. and right here you will be able to see the photos posted by the defendants he was trying to bring to justice they are members of the white supremacy rise above movement just recently a number of charges have been brought against them and clued in conspiracy to start riots the men were involved in the deadly twenty seventeen charlottesville riots it was. it was. it was it was. the.

uk the. uk. so the f.b.i. agent found that the rise above movement members toward europe and went to countries like germany italy and ukraine and there they met with the members of the local extremist neo nazi groups besides this according to the f.b.i. operative the defendants were seen on a photo with one of the leaders of a ukrainian far right party which was founded out of a regiment of the military but tally and that is the battalion that was mentioned and the quote that i showed you are. earlier now as of was seen on the front lines of the conflict in east ukraine which broke out when a number of the regions there refused to accept the results of a bloody coup in kiev which led to the government being over thrown in there now

you don't have to be an f.b.i. agent to prove that absolve is actively using neo nazi symbols you can just look at their insignia their emblems and neo nazi salutes or even just slogans are a common thing now i just want to show you what rather frequent marches of members of such organizations and their supporters look like and ukraine i i i. i i i i i i i i i i i i i i. i i

i so this criminal complaint could be important because it appears to be the first instance of f.b.i. actually looking into claims that ukrainian neo nazis could have been involved in the training of extremists across the atlantic the battalion officially became part of ukraine's national guard back in twenty fourteen after a decree signs by the country's interior minister. the beloved english breakfast could be facing a price hike if researchers from oxford university get their way they are suggesting to almost double the taxes on bacon and sausage is to come by people eating too much meat ball polly boyko she took the taste test for. who doesn't love

the smell of bacon in the morning and for british cuisine it does not get much more iconic than the full english breakfast. whole. place that teaches the eggs baked beans and of course it also has the added bacon bonds the healthy eating brigade is ruining all the fun we've known for a few years now that breaking isn't perhaps the healthiest food back in twenty fifteen the world health organization the credit to be a carcinogen apparently that increases the risk of heart disease stroke and diabetes and so receptive to that have come up with a plan which case they could prevent up to six thousand deaths per year and the idea is to make these solti chewy bits of meat up to seventy nine percent more expensive i want to know what the breakfast crowd has to say about that are you know you can if you're not very clear i know it's processed meat but the end of it varies i choose to eat the rich it has got a lot of things on its price for

a price increase somebody can for instance mark felt's like if it's a good bike to probably grow the food to sort of genetically modified and saying it was better for you which it's not that's what you do as a government to strongly move money out of us again if we use bad will you know too much. attention you just not really going to make much of a difference looking to boil coal drug abuse motorcades of it now far more serious than the people in their plight still wait keep their hands off your bacon yeah definitely definitely critics of the idea say it's a nanny state intervention perhaps just like with all the best. then life bacon is best enjoyed responsibly and in whatever ration but the jerry still out on whether it's up to the government tax question to better health. for i to another story that's perfect a lot of people's interest this week a former t.v. host in the netherlands thinks his love life is suffering due to age discrimination

on the sixty nine year olds determined to turn back the clock the pensioner believes his real age is in fact forty nine and he wants it changed legally you can change your name you can change your agenda why not your age no where are you so discriminated against as with your age. but who is a well russell bond is appealing to a court after his local authority rejected changes to his birth certificate he's a father of seven and he describes himself as quote a young gold things that being legally younger will help him get more marches on the dating tender he also promises to give up his pension if the court approves his request radio host and journalist john gaunt believes the whole thing is ridiculous . they would all like to identify as tried joe thirty years younger most of us do it by getting film losing a bit of white you're born on

a certain day and as the years go by you get older it's just seems to me to be obvious i don't know how we got into this position and this chap whether he likes it or not he seventy odd he's not twenty years younger i mean where we're and oh i'd like to identify is so vesta stallone but i'm going to be able to say this is just madness we need to start dressing no doubt some people in their own body i can understand this but the whole idea of self identification is just crazy absolutely crazy. police have identified the suspect in the killing of twelve people at a crowded bar in thousand oaks in california hundreds of students were in the borderline bar at the time of the shooting.

my friends are at the table right there doing and then they turn your i'm going to get shot i turn around and i start him shoot a couple more times shots we. just heard people say right it didn't stop it's. going through the front door. the sheriff's sergeant was struck multiple times of gunfire sergeant he'll start a car. the sergeant passed away at the hospital. yes we say the suspect has been identified to twenty eight to a local resident named in david long he had served in the u.s. marines and reportedly suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder police say he was known to them for minor offenses the motive for the shooting is still. on no one we heard from former marine activist sergio can share the story of

one of his fellow servicemen. i could actually give you example or a case that happened to one of our friends that we served with he start sending really strange messages to our friends saying that he was going to do something crazy so they called the police the police stormed his place in michigan and they basically arrested him they put him in the mental psychiatric facility i'm not sure whether it was the be a or not but after that they just let him go and nothing happened so the question is what do you mean what does that mark monitoring me. and can we really monitor majority of veterans who come back with the kids be. going back to that deadly day in. was not their first experience of a shooting a number of people in the borderline bar had reportedly survived the las vegas

music festival shooting last year. was the deadliest mass shooting by an individual in u.s. history the gunman opened fire from a hotel room into a crowd of twenty two thousand cultured corps killing fifty eight and injuring to five hundred the perpetrator stephen public was later found dead in his hotel room surrounded by weapons here's what people who are living through the nightmare for a second time this. is the second time in about a year in a month this is happened is a big thing for us big family and unfortunately this family got hit twice there are people that live whole lifetime with the scene there and then there are people that have seen it twice a lot of my friends survived route ninety one survived they will survive this. bigger concern here is that we live in

a culture of violence i really think that will live in the front tier of society. our idea of expansion in our idea of military is deeply ingrained in our society and our psyche you can implement certain things like checking i.d.'s maybe improve raising the age at which you can purchase the weapons however i am more pessimistic on that and i would say that i don't really see much taking place in terms of doing something like. that environmental group greenpeace is sounding the alarm in russian they claim thirteen endangered killer whales are going to be illegally sold to china that more than a dozen of the marine mammals have already been exported there over the past five years.

to keep orcas and cages used through torture for them. to make you just pick out the fish and wish it would. just. oceanarium straining process is frequently based on food deprivation if the orcas don't do what they are told they are simply not being fed the conditions the mammals are held in their shortened their life expectancy tenfold in captivity they

only five six years versus eighty years in the wild. well from the depths of the ocean to the stars next with oksana the future of space exploration i'll be back with all the stellar news in thirty minutes time keep it right here marty.

both the republicans and democrats claim victory in the wake of the midterm elections but it seems the election settled little if anything now there is a dueling investigation gridlock on steroids is this what the voters voted for. hello and welcome to worlds apart space exploration something that humanity has long gotten used to taking for granted i stumbled into uncertainties here and with all technologists played by a new one still in development where we can once again find ourselves grounded on

planet earth to discuss that i'm joined by mike massimino a former u.s. astronaut and professor off mechanical engineering at columbia university mike thank you very much for the time it's good to talk to my pleasure that you always sound very positive a book about the future of space exploration but given the functions on the russian side. the delays in the american side how confident are you that the international space station will continue being inhabited for years to come. very. think that our russian friends and their space program have shown that they're pretty good track record to launch and shore use for. that. ok they lost the rocket just this past month that was not a good thing but if they did it lose the crew and i think that one of the good things about their system is that you're able to separate the crew from the rocket that is having an issue the russian space agency was very quick to announce the

loss of so use wrong it was utes you what they said a full t. context sensor which reportedly got bent during the assembly. baikonur. cosmodrome did you find that explanation plausible or you know i i really don't know much about that particular issue but i do have confidence from all the years that nasa and working both with nasa and with our russian counterparts that they do the right thing and they work pretty well together or countries don't always agree on other things apparently and yet in one space program no detail gets back and during some way i mean it's not like you know they were cooking in the kitchen i mean i suppose that there should be so you might want to sever about it i mean i don't i don't i can't pass judgment on what went on there how they have that problem but that i can say this that pretty confident i'm totally confident in our leadership at nasa and i know that they work well with the russian leadership and i
