fifty. protests across the us president trump forces out attorney. general. his removal. white women in texas face accusations of betraying feminist. votes in favor of the republican. i'm very tired of. simply based on my skin color who are you who interests are you representing if you're only as a white woman representing the best interests of other white women then we

absolutely have a problem absolutely. rare appearance. this friday. exclusive interview with them. thanks so much for tuning in today protesters across the united states have rallied in the wake of the. attorney general jeff sessions they fear that the. twenty sixth presidential election. could now be sidelined in an unusual twist some of those who initially opposed his nomination to the streets over his departure. 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 manny's why they were buying so many books on islam the zero tolerance policy means and 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 immigration and opposing hate crimes legislation this is how jeff

sessions confirmation hearings went dear friend. oh yeah 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 russian 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 on uli's physician and investigating until he finishes if it takes a month or more 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

together 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 jeff sessions as attorney general given his track record as a racist but the point is at this stage of the game i'm not but and i don't think move on is protesting his removal but raul there who it is who is before steve outside of the constitutional provisions 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 and us of course is still reeling from its fiercely disputed midterm elections which saw the democrats win control of the house but failed to take the senate on some key states that also had high hopes for such as in texas where the republican candidate ted cruz one of her tight battle of iraq has ations those women who did vote for cruz betrayed feminism with their vote a prominent sports journalist set off the debate. fifty nine percent of white women voted for task fifty three percent are white women voted for donald trump so given this numbers who is the real face of feminism. this is just the latest criticism of republican voting women by liberals and progressives is a few other examples of what is happening why are women even voting for him yeah i

don't know what it is i mean the country's. what 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 vote for anybody nobody you are a woman and you are never going to love it and hillary clinton so i guess. i don't get it. she scared me. or put the issue feminism in politics up for debate with women's rights advocates and the media commentator. the tradition of women just 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 only what are you voting for betty interests of that. the person accusing makes the person accusing me the actual racist you know 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 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 who interest are you representing if you're only as a white woman workers in 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 do is someone and we say when i was it was part of the seal there that's my stance and that's the feminine stance. on that now thirdly when she's talking about how do you say of course i want to go this is a war of the limits right so i view all of that i'm 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'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 sure 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 my with when you are 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 when they go to the why should we say they. going to stay away 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 want to bring in the heraldry race and this that you dream thing to celebrate it for not wanting to whine about it 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 so i don't really do you resonate where he is and he wants to stand there i'd like to just say thank you to jim l. hill for her what she said i just support her as a michigan state alumni i want to say go girl. hot anticipated peace talks on afghanistan held it today in moscow a dozen countries were invited to participate and that's what about was represented so i would joined live now by monday if emotional who was at the peace talks in central moscow mary a lot of expectation a lot of people saying this couldn't happen the first time in seventeen years what developments we've seen today. well first of all i have to

say that friday's russia hostage then russian led talks ease basically the purchased public and open appearance all the taliban movement political office at an international conference nine countries have been participating in this discussion aimed at finding a peaceful solution to the afghani problems including the of gani delegations delegation shortly after the talks i've had a chance to talk to the head of the delegation of the taliban movement that is considered to be a terrorist organization here in russia and he has told me that first of all they are happy with the talks second return rated one more time that they have no talks they have no direct contacts right now and they are not planning to have any direct contact with the official government in kabul that they do not recognize as legitimate and said that they see the presence of the american troops in afghanistan as the major obstacle to peace in this country the group came here to

moscow just weeks after their meeting with the u.s. special advisor on peace in afghanistan where they discussed these taliban's request to withdraw all american troops from afghanistan so let's now listen to what they had of the taliban delegation here in moscow has told me. according to us it was. the most hopeful but it was a successful conference photographs of arms for this movement and for the last seventeen years i would. hold these photos of forces out of honest. talking and negotiation which is going to go to the american this is in a very initial stage this conference which was live that was looked at by the. left of the day the negotiations with. the problem with you because first of all we do

not look at my as the global are going to. go to of the. kabul has decided not to send its diplomats to moscow but the country's high peace council members have agreed to participate this is a body appointed this is a government appointed body in afghanistan that is responsible for overseeing the peace process in the country and i've had a chance to talk to the head of. the delegation from this afghanistan's high peace council and among other things i asked him what do they think about america in general saying that there is no military solution to afghanis problems at the same time promising to keep on to go on with the offensive against taliban on the. territory by the way u.s. delegation was invited but was not participating in today's talks this is what the

head of the gani the legation has told me. this is a new. first piece should come of merced american should meet this should ok. it is going to stand ready to talk directly to taliban with us yes they do not. think. so it's obvious that the situation in afghanistan is very complicated and the road towards long awaited peace there could be bumpy but many admit that friday's talks these very very very important multisided peaceful initiative and these could be first taps toward this peaceful solution. back to you yes wolf first step in what has been a very very long cycle of violence. with that exclusive interview with the taliban representative thanks for that. mass trial in germany has been launched

this friday as thirty people stand accused of brutally abusing refugees at an asylum center the shocking revelations first came to light four years ago with some of the worst incidents filmed. leave. their homes are not a small lesion didn't quite follow yet. the incidents allegedly took place in the town of buddha bark in the western part of the country prosecutors claim a staff tormented asylum seekers both physically and psychologically images of the abuse were leaked to the media sparking an outcry social workers security guards and other staff are among those now facing charges of assault and false imprisonment one of the accused whoever disputes 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. the company operating the migrant center has denied

claims that management turned a blind eye to the abuses saying instead that a group of security guards had gone rogue member of germany's left party was quick to point the blame at the country's margaret policy. resettable anyone who works for the german government as a police officer have to follow the constitution and have to everything he ducks yes the whole of human rights he had an office will be gauged human rights abuses and treasury those senators are understaffed and underfunded and if i actually just said that you know we're not going to get him out of the what's happened is that angela merkel agnel that she had no vision and she had no actual funding secure to take care of refugees and so this is a sign of the complete and utter chaos the january i guess up and. coming up shortly if you like how old you are simply change the numbers that someone might

reach the no evidence what's so hard back the clock will have long story and more often the short right. still seems wrong. just don't call. me old yet to see palin just come after. and in detroit because the trail. went to find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. most people think 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 read. truth to stand. you just the right questions to the right answer. question. welcome back to r.t. international russia says the west has abandoned normal diplomatic protocol adopted a pattern of publicly accusing moscow of wrongdoing that's off austria accused one of its own former high ranking army offices of spying for russia and brings us the details. i had a chance to ask russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov to comment on the recent

bacon is best enjoyed responsibly and in moderation but the jury's still out on whether it's up to the government to tax britain to better health. now a former t.v. host in the netherlands thinks his love life is suffering due to age discrimination and the sixty nine year olds the term and to turn back the clock attention to believe his real age is forty nine and he wants it to be officially so you can change your name you can change your gender why not your age no where are you so discriminated against as with your age. rattled by and describes himself as a young god and thinks that being legally younger will help him get more work and more matches on dating apps the father of seven promises to give up his pension if a dutch court approved his request after his local authority rejected changes to his birth certificate radio host and german strong gaunt believes the whole thing is ridiculous. they would all like to identify as tried to or thirty years younger
