look at the money flowing through. the roof. protests across the u.s. off the president trump or so it's attorney general jeff sessions who initiated by . his removal. whites women in texas for. betraying feminist values costing them votes in favor of the state's republican candidate. i'm very tired of being castigated as some sort of racist 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. makes

a rare appearance of high level peace talks in moscow this friday saying it was a success for me to get. to speak to the groups representatives following the meeting. seven pm. welcome to the program approaches across the united states. attorney general jeff sessions they fear that the probe into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixth presidential election that was led by sessions could now be sidelined you don't know usual twist some of those who initially opposed his nomination to the street so where is the part. though they didn'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 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 it was 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 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 the recent 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 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 and 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 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 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 caleb mop and r.t. new york oh u.s. is still reeling from its fiercely disputed midterm elections which saw the democrats win control of the house but failed to take the senate and also some key states they had high hopes for texas one of them with a republican candidate ted cruz one after ton bottle now the accusations those women who vote for cruz but from an ism with their vote a prominent sports journalist set off the debate. fifty nine percent of white women voted for task fifty three percent a 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 here's a few other examples. what is happening why are women even voting for him yeah i don't get you what it is i mean the country's. 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 you know for anybody nobody you are a woman and you are never going to have it and it will be. so i guess. i don't get it. she scared me put the issue of feminism and politics up for the bites with the 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 we'll 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 interest 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 did she list someone and we say when i was it was part of the seal there that's my stance and that's the feminine stand. 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 rights 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 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 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 or what gender you are you can be anything you want to be we're the freest best country

want in the race and this that you are something to celebrate for not i want you 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 i don't really do you resent it where she is and she wants to stand there i'd like to just say thank you to jim l. hill for what she said i just support her as a michigan state alumni i want to say go girl. on a dissipated peace talks on afghanistan were held today in moscow a dozen countries were voted to halt the taleban was also represented. friday's russia hosted and russia led talks basically the forest open and public appearance of the car top these taliban movement political office at an international conference nine countries have been participating in the dialogue aimed at finding peaceful solutions to the afghani conflict including the gani delegation 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 terror group here in russia and this is what he has told me about taliban's views on the situation in afghanistan and on potential solution american troops are obviously on the ground in afghanistan. members of the taliban movement men u.s. special advisor and peace in afghanistan to discuss this request of yours that for foreign troops should leave the kind of tripped up on a sunday. for the last seventeen years over him is that hold to these foreign forces out of these. talking negotiation which is going to go with the american this is in a very initial stage the delegation from afghanistan not the government from the diplomats but the members of the country's high peace council also participated in

today's talks and i've seen you during coffee break can check in with them talking to each other did you agree on direct contacts with the government this conference which was live that was blocked at the start. of with the problem with you because first of all we do logic at most the couple are going to say legal go are going to have on the sly. kabul has decided not to send its diplomats to moscow but the members of the country's high peace council government appointed body that is responsible for overseeing the peace process in afghanistan have agreed to participate we've had a chance to talk to the head of the again a delegation and among other things i've asked him what do they think about american generals saying that there is no military solution to getting problems at the same time promising to go on with the offensive against taliban in afghanistan which is obviously a military action by the we official washington turned down the invitation to

participate in moscow event but eventually they sent a representative from the u.s. embassy here in moscow who had a status of an observer at friday's talks this is what the head of the gannet integration has told me about that when he's coming there's no need to go into what is the. first piece should come of merced americans should mean this ok. this is going to stand ready to talk directly to taliban with yes yes yes. yes you're right i think you're going to hold this is the situation getting very complicated and the road towards a long awaited peace in this country could be a long and bumpy but many admit that right this event was a very important multisided peaceful initiative that has all the potential to become a success. a 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 comer. leashing or not there no not a small leadership that i didn't quite follow yet. the incidents allegedly took place in the town of buddha barque in the western part of the country prosecutors claim the 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 however discreet 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 moderate center has denied claims that management turned a blind eye to the abuses saying instead

a group of security guards had gone rogue a member of germany's left party was quick to point the blame at the country's migrant policy. this completely acceptable anyone who works well to joe government as a police officer asked to follow the constitution and has to everything he ducks yes apolo human rights he had an office will be gauged human rights abuses and treasury those senators are understaffed and underfunded and if i actually were able to set you know we're not going to monitor the what's happened is that angela merkel agnel last she had no vision and she had no actual funding secured to take care of refugees and so this is a sign of a complete and utter chaos the jam you find yourself in coming up shortly if you don't like how old you are simply change the numbers so one man in the netherlands

wants to turn back the clock we'll have four more that story on this after the short break. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see of that.

allegations coming from austria that former austrian colonel was accused of spying for russia for decades the ministry said that he has just found out about the news and that he was unpleasantly surprised he added that russia's western partners have recently started to publicly accuse russia and publicly demented explanations it's common practice within international law to directly ask for clarification but recently our western partners have started using nontraditional megaphone diplomacy they publicly accuses they publicly demand explanations on monsters we know nothing about and we've officially some industry members to the ministry to explain how his country should aren't if they have any questions austrian chanceless about broke the news this friday he said that this may lead to worsening relations between the two countries and he also added that he plans to discuss possible further steps

with e.u. partners if these suspicions prove to be true if the suspicion is confirmed such cases regardless of where they take place will not improve relations between russia and the european union russia's aspirin as your t.v. to use in europe are an acceptable and condemning the country's defense ministry said that they obtained information with the frenzy intelligence service without providing any concrete details on who was behind this now asked for foreign affairs ministry of the minister was quick to council her upcoming trip to russia and she also summoned russian representatives to discuss the matter and meanwhile there is still very little information regarding the former austrian colonel in question we only know that he was accused of spying for russia for over twenty years and here in moscow the australian ambassador. summoned to russia's foreign affairs ministry and the meeting is expected to take place later in the day.
