well divisions emerge in the u.s. media this time over video of a c.n.n. reporter released by the white house some accuse the journalist of an attack to say the material is being doctored. what women in texas face accusations of betraying feminist values after casting their votes in favor of the state's republican candidate. i'm very tired of being castigated as some sort of simply based on my skin color who are you who interests are you representing if you only as a white woman representing the best interests of other white women then we absolutely have a problem absolutely. taliban makes a rare appearance in high level peace talks in afghanistan in moscow on friday saying it was a success and they're ready to meet again it seems the only news channel to speak

to the groups representatives after the need to. get enough of this we have. a little more we have you want good to be some of the what i want to be able to. thank you joining us this hour this is our international. press secretary has released a video which she says justifies banning c.n.n. reporter jim acosta from the white house some of called the video doctored the manipulated although this claim that it's proof of inappropriate behavior debate is raised in the media over who side to take. it just is it crosses a line you don't put your hands i don't want him a cost to sort of wrestling this young white house intern jim acosta clearly never

touched that white house intern that's just a lie and what i saw was a battery not by jim acosta but by that young white house aide if you can use a fake video use a fake video if you go all the way do something like this. so we have sarah huckabee sanders the white house press secretary pulling the credentials of jim acosta c.n.n. reporter and she then released a video clip of the incident which she called an inappropriate laying on of hands said that because he touched this this staffer of the white house who was holding the microphone this way that it was necessary to remove his credentials that it was unacceptable behavior while she posted the clip and now we have people saying that it's a doctored clip the clip is distorted in order to make the incident look far worse than it was it's also been pointed out that the clip that she shared on twitter to justify her decision came from the right wing website known as info wars however

the individual who put the clip on info wars has defended their action it isn't doctored it isn't sped up it isn't slowed down all i did was zooming in look at it again is this an example of someone don't ring good clip to change its meaning no it's virtually identical is it won't hundred percent identical no video compression is going to result in it looking marginally different let's recall the incident where this took place this was during trump's most recent press conference it was following the midterm elections trump came out and jim acosta confronted donald trump about the issue of the migrant caravan and his immigration policies and some of his advertising he actually asked for a follow up questions trump then cut him off and tried to move on to other reporters i think you should let me run the country you run c.n.n. or. if you did it well your ratings let me ask you if i may ask one of the question this present right by me i should have been are you worried i should know that it

is president that said i asked one of the other protested enough for me ma'am i protested for me ma'am and it comes to what took place during this press conference americans just don't see eye to eye there are two different versions of events that people are very very strongly fired up and believing they may be looking at the same video clip but they have very very different interpretations of it was the famous dress incident some people thought the dress was white and gold others thought the dress was black and blue were in a situation where the country is increasingly divided regarding what side of the political spectrum you're on it's clueless charles will tell says he believes jim acosta has acted disrespectfully towards trump administration officials on a number of occasions i think you know i think it's very important to ask probing questions but you don't have to shout them they could be probing in their substance they could be probing in you know the subject matter but to behave in the way that jim acosta and some of his colleagues behave shows i think utter disrespect

for the office of the presidency and i think there needs to be a better balance its time for the mainstream corporate owned media to start getting back to the business of actually being journalists. the u.s. is still reeling from its fiercely disputed midterm elections that saw the democrats win control of the house but failed to take the senate and some key states they had high hopes for such as texas where the republican candidate ted cruz won after a tight contest and now there are accusations those women who voted for cruz betrayed feminism with the vote a prominent sports journalist set off the debate. fifty nine percent of white women voted for tasha curtis fifty three percent of white women voted for donald trump so given this numbers who is the real face of famine is. this just the latest criticism of republican voting women by liberals and progressives here other 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 women i mean the country was pretty specific. 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 both for anybody nobody but you. and you are never going to get it and it will be. so i can read it. again i did it. she scared me we put the issue of feminism and politics up for debate with a women's rights advocate and 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 it sounds are only what are you voting for the best interests of them as around here here is the person accusing makes the person accusing me the actual racist. no it's true 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're going to highlight 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 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 to 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 said of course i want to get on this affair of the human rights i view all of the law would have 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 my 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 eating whole grains are the ones that we say they. going to stay with and we need to get really come over here and. 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 are the freest best country when particular they hire a real race and those that actually i'm thing to celebrate are for not wanting 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 white privilege is all 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 for what he said i just support her as a michigan state alumni i want to say go girl. highly anticipated peace talks on afghanistan were held in moscow friday a dozen countries were invited to the taliban was also represented with the delegations leaders saying the taliban wants peace with all its neighbors. the whole nation is with us and they're going to get somebody comes in dead accuse them of the kind of occupation we would inaudible it does seem to me to consume good enough on the stuff we have. across the board us we have we want good

relations specially whatever the labels fridays russia hosted and russia led talks basically the forest open and public appearance of the car talk based 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 oh tripped up on the saudis been involved for the last seventeen years i want to him is that how do these foreign forces out of honesty these. talking and negotiation which is going to go with 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 shaking with them talking to each other did you agree on direct contacts with the government this conference which was live that was locked up there to start. negotiations with the club in the region because first of all we do not look at my as the global are going to stay aside legal go and talk of them 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 of ghana delegation and among other things i've asked him what do they think about american generals a saying that there is no military solution to the. no 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 have facial 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 of going to geisha has told me about that when he's coming there's no need to go and i want to start. first piece should come of merced americans should be. ok this is coming in the room is going to stand ready to talk directly to taliban where yes yes yes do they do not yes you really. think you know obviously the situation in afghanistan is very complicated and the road towards a long awaited peace in this country could be a long and bumpy but many admit that friday's event was a very important multisided peaceful initiative that has all the potential

to become a success. a must trial in germany has been launched this friday thirty people stand accused of brutally abusing refugees at an asylum center the shocking revelations first came to light four years ago some of the worst incidents filmed. leave. their homes on the top leadership decided it was slow yet. the incident allegedly took place in the town of birth back in the west of the country prosecutors claim the stuff tormented asylum seekers physically and psychologically images of abuse were leaked to the media sparking an outcry social workers security guards and other stuff among those facing charges of assault and false imprisonment one of the accused 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 say more than that. the company operating the migrants and to deny claims

management turned a blind eye to abuse saying instead the group of security guards had gone rogue and the member of germany's left party was quick to point blame at the country's migrant policy. and leave the acceptable one word to joe go as police have to follow the constitution and have to. get all of human rights you cannot willy. human rights uses and actually those senators are understaffed and underfunded it and it will just say you know we're not going to manage the what is that angela merkel ad not that she had all this and she had no actual politics you're to take care of refugees and so this is a sign of the complete and utter chaos that january i did start. rebuilding more serious taken center stage during talks between the u.s.

secretary of state and the un's outgoing special envoy to syria a phone call highlighted the importance of humanitarian groups in the region and comes a report reveals u.s. aid money is actually lining terrorist pockets i guess the has a story. american taxpayer money cash that is almost wholly in the u.s. mindset inviolable money but has seen politicians jailed for the slightest misuse is ending up in the hands of al qaeda in syria now that's a sick twisted if anything a new report has found that millions. of dollars in aid to syria has been funneled to terrorists since late twenty seventeen u.s. agency for international development office of the inspector general investigations have uncovered numerous instances of possible or confirmed diversions to armed groups in government in northwestern syria including hayat time of year

a designated foreign terrorist organization. h.t.s. nusra front they have many names in short as wing in syria facts of the matter that they were benefiting from u.s. taxpayer money is no surprise everyone knows aid organizations civilians traveling through northern syria have to pay to pass checkpoints beat and money in goods this is been a fact for years it's business one of the terrorists' main sources of funding. the. worst of all it is assumed that these jihad ists have been able to infiltrate put

their people in n.g.o.s humanitarian organizations from which they siphon money and aid to further their malign cause one investigation found that in n.g.o.s employees knowingly diverted thousands of u.s. aid funded food kits worth millions of dollars to ineligible beneficiaries including terrier al sharm fighters. u.s. aid ally g. also investigated diversions of assistance to high atop a year i'll show in another n.g.o.s programs which oh i g suspected were perpetrated by n.g.o.s staff affiliated with the terrorist group the report itself is light on names and numbers perhaps for political reasons the fallout here could seriously damage and geo operations all we know is that millions of dollars in cash in aid have been funneled to al qaeda in syria and that's just what they've

admitted found that funding has now been terminated but it's very interesting in this report is that the usaid watchdog does not name the n.g.'s now of course one of those primary n.g.o.s will be the white house probably one of the most. supportive and i can i and these are n.p.r. and he's working on the ground in syria basically providing the posting counter in the corporation of the regime change current policy surely the u.s. should first of all be left on economic sanctions and it should then be if it's necessary be cooperating with the syrian government to provide aid to the areas where it's most needed because i don't expect this to happen regardless it's a sick and a sad joke on the american taxpayer trillions of their hard money spent on the war on terror originally on defeating al qaida and all the while they've been paying to

feed and finance those very same jihad ists place thing without tail but with more news after the short break. i. if.

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 raid in truth to stand out of those business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. questions. welcome back russia says the west has abandoned normal diplomatic protocol and up to the pattern of publicly accusing moscow from doing after all sterrett cues one of its own former high ranking army officers of spying for russia has details i had a chance to ask russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov to comment on the recent 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 accused russia and publicly demand to explain nations his 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 we've officially some industrial ambassador to the ministry explained how his country should if they have any questions. 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 this is specious confirmed such

cases regardless of where they take place will not improve relations between russia and the european union that russia has just been as your t.v. to use in the us are an acceptable and condemn the police because defense ministry said that they obtained in for a mediation with the friend the intelligence service without providing any concrete details on who was behind this now as for a foreign affairs ministry called the minister was. quick to cancel 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 austrian ambassador was summoned to russia affairs ministry. at least thirty seven palestinians have reportedly

been injured to the border between the gaza strip and israel despite peace talks involving egypt catherine the gaza based organization hamas in the time to stop the violence. clashes with the israeli defense forces have been happening for the last seven months in a protest by palestinians known as the great march over to which they demand the right to return to lands they say have been illegally occupied by israel since march at least two hundred nineteen palestinians died and thousands more have been wounded the i.d.f. though denies it deliberately target civilians saying it has the right to defend its borders from hamas a group that israel considers to be terrorists. a massive wildfires engulfed the u.s. state of california destroying thousands of buildings and forcing into emergency evacuations. and these are live pictures from the region

waters to a russian space ship could be a sobering reasonable for a smaller submarine a photo looking very much like a submarine on patrol. that's . what.

i meant to say with certainty that it was not a submarine there was no foreign and it was an activity. like staying with us here not international michael actual thomas will bring you right up to date at the top of the hour. ministries police forces and city administrations of many countries depend on one corporation and another by mike was hoping the boy doesn't run from the eyes of god i'm stunned this dome is going to come through the. woods as everybody got on into

the sea at the last also bribing them proprietary software you don't know the source code isn't that a such a security risk when you have a black box operating good public i think microsoft dependency puts governments under cyber threat and not only that some think off message more formidable softness of the sense of selling the source of the global warming local do more for the long haul in this field or. with. the incident this is the icing on the stipend on which the all business stopped in there was a steel balls in front of the up and his cards on the fly and. it's been seventy years since the united nations adopted the universal declaration on human rights but in many places it remains a declaration and not

a reality how to bridge the divide between criticism preaching. democrats reclaim the house republicans were tain the senate what does it mean for the united states going forward we'll take a look at bat on this edition of politics. of a lot of politicking on larry king the twenty eight team in terms of are behind us the democratic party is recapture the house of representatives republicans retain the senate. a deeply divided nation now has a deeply divided congress what does this mean for the immediate future of the country and the next two years of it from presidency will stop there with reed dickens former white house assistant press secretary secretary under president george w. bush co-founder of maroon boards and e.q.

detainment he joins us in studio in washington. what's your read on the shape of the american political system right this minute i think the big story is that the democrats now have the gavel and i think the trump team in general is woefully underprepared so for get president trump's performance of the press conference i think the team doesn't have the depth of the experience to understand what's coming their way with a wave of subpoenas i look at it like a pac twelve team playing alabama they may have a few exciting players that are fun to watch but they don't have the depth to handle what's about to come their way so you're going to they're going to be trying to govern run for reelection and deal with investigations a lot of my friends in the in the clinton white house and the bush white house a lot of my colleagues stuck around for the second term they said every morning they would get.
