subscribed to. him for just twelve euros fifty per month. after prison interim force. general jeff sessions. rallied against his nomination against his removal. thing i like about most of the people that donald trump appointed are you protesting now. because i'm a. white women in texas facing accusations of betraying feminists casting their midterm votes in favor of the republican candidate in the.

i'm very tired of being castigated as some sort of racist simply based on my skin color who i knew who interest are you representing your only as a white woman representing the best interests of other white women then we absolutely have a problem at the. peace talks get underway in moscow for the first time in seventeen years the taliban are engaged in high level multilateral negotiations. three three pm and duck day right here in moscow this friday november ninth welcome to r.t. international our top story protesters across the united states have rallied in the wake of. to fire attorney general jeff sessions the fear the motor probe into

alleged russian meddling in the twenty six thousand presidential election could be sidelined in spec to twist some of those who initially opposed his nomination have now taken to the streets over his departure but as came up and find out they don't seem to care much for the man himself. 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 progressive's hardly jeff sessions that i was a zero rating for the human rights campaign on gay rights a guy who asked the department of the national council of nannies 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 nearer and i care. how our air. 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 theorise nothing i like about most of the people they found with trump appointed. i mean but you're protesting his departure right will actually now

see keep time uli's south physician and investigating until he finishes if it takes a month or it takes two years so this isn't really about jeff sessions about a mole or. knowing snow in supposed to look that's what i'm here for what did you protest when he was appointed. i protested the immigration policy on the families that gathered day and 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 so shoes as attorney general given his track record as a racist but the point is at this stage of the game i'm not bitter and i don't think move on is protesting his removal but raul there hoodoos who is before steve outside of the constitutional provisions to be his replacement very deplored

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 . r.t. new york well the u.s. is still reeling from its fiercely disputed midterm elections which saw the democrats win control of the hospital field take the senate and indeed some key states that they had high hopes for such as texas where the republican candidate ted cruz one after a tight tussle another there are accusations those women who voted for cruz betrayed feminism with their vote a prominent sports journalist said off the bat. fifty nine percent of what women

voted for task groups fifty three percent of white women voted for donald trump so given this numbers who's the real face of feminism yeah well that is just the latest really criticism of republican voting women by liberals and progressives that we collected a few more examples of 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 women 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. so i guess. i did it. she scared me. excitable jones there we put the

issue of feminism in politics up for debate with a women's rights advocates first a media commentator 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 are already what are you voting found 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 we'll start there but the here's the issue if you're not voting in the best interest of that but 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 of your 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 whose interests are you representing if you're only as a white woman were presenting 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 did she list 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 with i mean it's right so i view all of that and all that has made me girls who are of boarded what about their rights if you're going to talk about women's rights what about the baby girls rights who are killed ten thousand per day every day you know i know you're blowing 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 would. 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 they don't even want to believe they. are protecting me why is it really ya's that going to stay away and we need to get really kind of our hero basing things on merit and accomplishment because because no matter what skin color or what gender you are you can be anything you want to be we're the freest best country you want to particular they hire race and this that you know something to celebrate that for not allowing 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 i don't really see your resume where he is and he wants to stand there i'd like to just say thank you to mel hill for for what he said i just support her as a michigan state alum now i want to say go girl. ok i want to turn our attention to

europe now where the trial of thirty people accused of brutally abusing refugees and asylum center in germany has opened four years after the shocking revelations first that came to light some of the worst abuses were full. of. the incidents allegedly took place in the town of burbach in the western part of the country prosecutors allege stuff beat terminated and humiliated asylum seekers or locked them up for days at a time images of the abuse were leaked to the media sparking cry the shocking pictures include a security guard posing with his foot on the neck of a refugee social workers security guards and other stuff are among those not facing charges of assault and false imprisonment one of the accused disputes the gravity of putting. how do you feel about the fact that you're being accused of this.

it's an exaggeration again and say more than that. 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 a number of germany's left party was quick to point the blame at the country's migrant policy let's take a listen this lady said anyone who were able to just go. to polling institutions and have to. know all of human rights and not will be engaged in human rights abuses and actually those senators are understaffed and underfunded and it will just say you know we're not going to monitor. what happened is that angela merkel that she had no vision and she had no national politics you're. refugees and so

this is a sign and i took a jab i did it. right to another big story of the day highly until the afghan peace talks are underway in moscow a dozen countries were invited to take part on the taliban is also represented let's go live now to our t's maria fanaa keeping track of things hi there maria just that last point one big aspect to all this is is the taliban actually getting around the table for talks in the first place tell us more about that and today's meeting. how you know today's russia hostage and russia let talks he's basically her a pen and public appearance off to top based taliban movement at an international gathering delegations. from nine o'clock east nine countries are participating in

today's discussion that aims at finding ways to peace in afghanistan including of course the gani delegation is while many admit this is great achievement of russia's diplomacy foreign minister sergei lavrov has put into the conference by thanking all the participants for calm into moscow stressing afghanistan's people deserve peace and multi-sided efforts to bring it to this war torn country let's take a listen. to the afghanistan's problems we can only be resolved by political means through nationwide consent with the participation of all warring parties the people of afghanistan advised with concerns in the first place because kabul has decided not to send its diplomats here but the country's high peace council members government appointed body that is responsible for overseeing the peace process in afghanistan have agreed to take part a had a chance to talk to them before the conference started and among other things i

asked them what they think about americans american generals saying military solution will look work in afghanistan at the same time promising to continue offensives against taliban in afghanistan by the way american delegation was invited but he's not attending today's meeting and this is what the head of the gani delegation has told me. when he's coming the. first piece should come of merced american should meet with with. this. new again isn't ready to talk directly to taliban yes yes. yes so you're. saying. well it seems of ghana's stand he's ready for direct dialogue with the taliban movement as we've just heard and i have to say. during the coffee break i saw members of these delegations talking to each other hand

shaking so this can't be the first steps towards a long awaited peace in afghanistan it's too early to say but hopefully back to you know yes some interesting comments you go through with it without gas thought to interview fairly good stuff and do keep us abreast of what comes i don't say as you say could be very significant area for national life in moscow. the f.b.i. probes and ukrainian military units links to white supremacist groups in the us and if you don't like how old you are simply change the numbers those stories on plenty more coming your way in ninety seconds. seems wrong why don't we all just don't. let me. get to shape

out these days become educated and in the game trade equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand out of the news business you just need as the right questions and demand the right answers. question.

were arrested for inciting violent attacks during protests in the u.s. last year the f.b.i. is investigating the allegations. the azoff but sally an 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 who participated in training in 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 was. so the f.b.i. agent found that the rise above movement members toured 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 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 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 in the ukraine 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 just a note on this story the as all of the taliban officially became part of ukraine's national guard back in twenty fourteen after a decree signed by the country's interior minister. the environmental group greenpeace is sundering the alarm in russia they claim thirteen killer whales are going to be a legally sold to ocean nerve in china adding more than
