ation energy transfer partners in the soon to call pipeline subsidiary have racked up more than wait for it eight hundred state and federal permit violations while racing to build two of the nation's largest natural gas pipelines eight hundred permanent by laser beams and i'm sorry but. racing to build it is not the adjectives i want to hear when referencing the building of pipelines that carry a highly toxic environmentally destructive substance. cravin if it's natural gas back here on capitol hill while chuckles nancy in the donald are still grandstanding for the cameras house republicans are making moves to shut down any vote or debate on the u.s. support of saudi arabia and yemen until after the new congress takes over in january by sneaking a blocking provision in a recent debate rules boat on a farm bill. from political cowardice to leaky pipes of black death i think i

do think it's time to start watching the hawks. what would you treat it looks like. this would be. a part of. what they like you know what i got. which we. would. welcome everyone watching arks i am i robot and i'm. just to clarify i don't think nancy pelosi was grandstanding i think she was standing grimly you know but it did i mean look you know after watching that and i got to look i you know me i've complained enough about nancy pelosi watching us but i say that i was under

the circumstances i would have then i would have lost my mind there would have been like coffee in the face i don't like i don't love them there oh it wasn't but they all just talk over each other into this whole thing and it's so interesting now to see how that when you play it out and publicly this is what it's like all the time in washington that's our best and brightest my favorite part of that quick look before we move on to the pipeline is the favorite part about all that like i mean you got to see because it was it was like your relatives a dinner light. bickering over something that happened and somebody to write my favorite thing was like my parents like i swear like i don't know if my friends was even alive like you called it weaken the verb is my part i was really scaring me. you know like i was putting a mirror under is no this is a mixture of crowd but boy are buddies of energy transfer so energy transfer partners you know our favorite now thing we see their commercials on t.v. telling you how great of

a product they broke. so it was energy transfers rover and sunoco mariner east to pipelines and you'll see the sunoco is the gas station so you see it let's there's two big names you know they've been under construction across ohio and pennsylvania and respectively since about twenty seven thousand and i've been hit with violations over let's see spilling drilling fluid which is horrible create sinkholes and backyards and improperly disposing of trash and i welcome the writers of us to gauge and the violations of allegedly include six hundred eighty one federal violations accumulated just the rover pipeline wow but just a number of the drilling fuel for natural gas that some of the stuff that we talk about that if that ends up in the water. there's your water table and suddenly you don't have it just so people get loaded understanding and. then these really billion dollar developments of showing

a path that's similar to the rover through ohio when most are going to comedian energy company called recently finished a two point six billion dollar twenty five two hundred fifty five mile pipeline they only had seven and seven they weren't even trying to get the good drugs for the six hundred eighty one c s transfer partners uses you know. horrible. and they can't even put up my blood together prove what a pipeline to go there but then you know i mean but then the other thing that congress didn't win is really yeah so they moved to present the house you're saying so the house republicans moved to prevent members from forcing a vote for the rest of twenty eighteen on any resolution that attempts to use your same war powers act to cut off u.s. aid to saudi arabia in yemen so this comes as the worse the senate is also about to

lucian that uses the war powers act to force the withdrawal of any troops in or affecting yemen within thirty days unless they're fighting al qaeda the whole thing is just nonsense and if you remember we also pairing certain actions of al qaeda to help the hutus and you know i mean it just doesn't make sense. movies well those ridiculous stories. in all of western australia there which has a population just under two point five million people there's only about one public per women's prison bandi up that handles all security classified classifications with a capacity of three hundred ninety four inmates and how is it houses women on remand waiting for court appearances and long term stay in mates as well and it is bad idea who is at the core of a damning report from the western australia prison watchdog regarding an incident that happened in march of this year and which a birth at a women's prison was deemed quote distressing degrading and high risk an unnamed

indigenous woman who was thirty six weeks pregnant was locked in her cell alone on a ninety one degree fahrenheit day it's about thirty three degrees celsius the enemy told the guard she was going into labor and in severe distress she was like that for nearly two hours but the information wasn't passed on to nurses so when she did start to give birth nurses and even custodians were at the door trying to coach her through the procedure. why weren't they in the room well because apparently the only person at that time who has keys to the cells was in the gatehouse and he didn't show up until ten minutes after the young woman gave birth on the floor of an unsanitary foul prison cell with no help no pain relief and hours of emotional trauma no more give the inspector a custodial service as a band aid upset in the report that it was the result of systematic procedural and human failings in the report it noted that inadequate infrastructure for women in late stages of pregnancy and action or slow action by some staff poor communication and poor processes caused the incident this report comes just

a month after the office of the inspector of custodial services which made the report had its budgets cut and its reports delayed from the public you know morgan told the west australian on that issue in future we may be unable to inspect prisons with the same rigor and depth we may not have the capacity to bring forward inspections and reviews to meet parliament and government expectation and if you think this is just an australian problem this year just this week the u.s. congress introduced the first step act which would make it easy goal for presidents to shackle pregnant women yeah we had to make a law so how is the problem with the prisons or is this just more proof that women's pain is simply more likely to be ignored no matter where you are you know i gotta say i there's all those moments to think of so it's both you know there's major problems with our prisons there's major problems with how we treat women and women in society and we view it we respond to it so i think our lives leave this is

we could debate the percentages of which is more but rather gives both their kids truly both right now well we have a fundamental problem with understanding women's pain understanding how much we pay in movement with women can take on a lot of that is because of sexist medical knowledge i mean we've heard about it in terms of african-americans often doctors we're still talk really terrible. lie isn't myths. out their skin doesn't her it doesn't hurt them as much when they get big when they get injections or something well it's the same thing with women and with childbirth it's so enough areas because we kind of have this idea that oh everything about childbirth so easy now we're in the modern world but three hundred at least three hundred thousand women die every year according to the un in child birth so most of those deaths are very easily prevented and when you're putting someone in a position like being out of out of prison like this you know prison food is not enough for a baby about is how you get dehydrated it major major risk higher risk because of that high processed food salt diet of things like preeclampsia and diabetes than

just a small diabetes there's just a lot of risk out it might just think it's really weird so the west i stroke corrective services commissioner tell me how flush i apologise the inmate saying the events that happened to amy which was her a fake name that the paper gave her something that her real name is on there on the night were unacceptable and should have happened clearly every baby whether whatever the circumstances the mother deserves to be brought into this world in a decent environment and clearly that's not a prison cell so this is a tragedy really i mean anybody anybody looking back at the babies in this and i don't care what you think about the mom you know or anything like that and i don't know the case of why we don't know who the woman was the why she was even there to begin with a little bit we know that she was out on probation after having started for a minor minor offense and that she was out on probation but couldn't meet certain standards of the day which probably means she was pregnant thirty six days pregnant couldn't get a job couldn't get. place to live and so she was put back into prison for that reason i read and moved around. for the good of one prison for women like the

entire was a western australia is a little bit ridiculous to me but i want to read to you the governors from the government's response so was corrective services minister for instance logan told reporters that quote the minister is spoken with the department of the inspector of custodial services were guarding the review into this matter and the subsequent cherry. is made at banda up including new leadership and training you've got a problem that i don't know if it's just about leadership and training when you have women giving birth to people on dirty prison cell floors and one set of constraints well over an hour i mean that's a thing that women you know if you go into a our if we both want me are it would take it's an average it would take me sixty five minutes see a doctor forty nine minutes for you and on the other side of that also if we both had something like a coronary bypass you're twice as likely i'm half as likely to get any kind of pain relievers prescribed to me for the same thing you know that is to women are so much

stronger that they see and they understand that. that's a travesty that was about the result as we go to break our watches don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our poll shows that r t v dot com coming up journals the author nick bryant joins us to discuss the latest twists in the case of billionaire jeffrey epstein and how the u.s. legal system failed to find justice for the victims of his alleged crime want to miss this interview they took lots of. russian today's notice from the. judgments against the soviet union that was on.

it was they saw the limits he'll say. in this speech freedom those three and rights have been restored so much has been accomplished. scummers russia that only. idiots can believe that is away but no one wants. once you start we're up shook up get up and since you're going to stop us the worst pointed a gun for all citizens committee comes to football. game between do you think that's thanks. to bush i. told you the system but what's joined up when you got to what. the future. you know you those. kids is that you know.

the more you know what door you will do you good fortune just reach your purpose to get personally good for strong. focused on your response to the customer because that. would hope to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want. to go to the press it's like the full story of the more people. i'm interested always in the lives of my. friends.

if you asked adults from all walks of life around the world most if not all would agree that there is no crime more despicable and in need of swift strong justice and the sexual physical or psychological attacks on a child or teenager perpetrated by an adult in the case of jet setting billionaire jeffrey abstainers friends and. added everyone from prince andrew to bill clinton to donald trump there were allegations of all three of these vicious types of crimes perpetrated between two thousand and one and two thousand and seven and not just one or a few but dozens if not hundreds of young teenage girls but strangely in a society that supposedly prides itself on law and order and common decency despite the horrifically similar allegations by multiple different victims and witnesses spread across the united states and the world jeffrey epstein woolworth unlikely never have to legitimately face the inside of

a courtroom or jail cell for the heinous crimes he's accused of recently a miami herald investigation uncovered the sweet deal jeffrey abstains high powered attorneys made for their client his confederates to avoid prosecution back in two thousand and eight you know who helped him then u.s. attorney for miami alexander acosta now president of trump's secretary of labor here to discuss the case and the tragic history of similar cases in their lack of justice is investigative journalist and author nick bryant thank you so much for joining us. i'm glad we reviewed tabs and tyrone i want to start you've investigated these cases as a journalist for a long time now and i think just so people can kind of group members stand as you could you kind of briefly just walk us through the mill you know what kind of the scope and size of the jeffrey up steven situation. the geoffrey edelsten case is quite large a fourteen year old girl came forward told her parents and then the palm beach police department started to investigate her allegations and they found four other

underage victims of jeffrey abstain and ultimately they because geoffrey assume such a powerful man and wealthy and had so many connections the palm beach fleece department went about its investigation very gingerly but they were very very circumspect and they alternately broad charges against him and searched his home and then ultimately the feds got involved and the feds were of approximately thirty five jeffrey abstaining victims and then the grand jury got involved the street stake were injury and lo and behold epstein wasn't i did for a single count of child abuse and so the feds stepped in and said that they were going to seek justice but ultimately what happened was there really wasn't any justice geoffrey i've seen spent thirteen months in a county jail he was allowed to go out during the day and he had his own private suite or wing and all these girls. were never really given

justice i mean some of them ultimately did sue jeffrey abstain or more given settlements but ultimately there are scores of girls that were abused by jeffrey abstain and his power broker pedophile friends and none of them will ever see justice while. nick is an investigative journalist looking at that child trafficking rings and their perpetrators most exceptionally with your work on the franklin scandal is the jeffrey abstain case the exception or the norm when it comes to these types of child sexual crimes that involve you know the wealthy the powerful or the politically and that connected. well in the jeffrey of sting case you have made a lot of fanfare recently is alexander a cost who was the principal u.s. attorney who covered up the jet stream crimes is now separate u.s.

secretary of labor so and this is consistent with the investigations that i have undertaken and the franklin scandal for example. there were sixty victims that had been identified by this state senate investigator and there was a tremendous amount of evidence the state senate investigator ended up dying under very mysterious circumstances and then again a grand jury indicted the victims who were molested by the perpetrators instead of the perpetrators and in that case which is really interesting the principal prosecutor of there was a woman a young girl named alecia one who refused to recant her abuse and she was indicted on nine counts of perjury by the state and nine counts of perjury by the feds so she was looking at over two hundred years in prison because she refused to recant accounts of her sexual abuse and in that case the douglas county prosecutor almost

in douglas county. the douglas county prosecutor was immediately made a judge the bogus county prosecutor that helped prosecute alecia on was made the u.s. attorney in the u.s. it's the assistant u.s. attorney that helped prosecute alecia on on the federal side of it he's now a u.s. magistrate and then the u.s. magistrate that helped cover up he's now a u.s. district court judge overseeing with alexander acosta and what we've seen in the franklin scandal are very similar you helped cover this up and you will experience judicial upward mobility while and that will not make sense because when you look at you know that the similarities with the franklin scandal and with the case what you have are young. girls and boys are young men and women who are have a lot less money you come from the wrong side of the tracks you don't come from you know the right kind of they come from places like i come from you know like normal

people and i wonder i have to ask you is it is it really abstains money or of the people involved the franklin scandal is that money and power that allows people like him to get away with it or is that the reality that there is such a disparity between them and their victims lack of you know their lack of money lack of power is that what's alternately it's the victims have not having any power and money or social standing that's why there's no justice. united states. has always said that children are a small freshest research i mean that's one of the things that our politicians will say but if you look at the u.s. and its treatment of children children are the fastest growing segment of the homeless population a tremendous number of children live below the poverty threshold. so in actuality the united states puts doesn't really put its money where its mouth is regarding children and we're ever there is a wholesale destruction of children which we see in the united states today with

the children the homeless the homelessness of the children and also the tremendous number of children limbo driving threshold wherever there is wholesale destruction there's bound to be a retail destruction and what we see with jeffrey obscene and also with the franklin scandal and other cases like this it's a retail distraction scores of children. while you know when you look at. you know when you look at the. franklin case you know there are pointing out there's a lot of common threads in how society deals with them and one thing i want to ask you is. you know what have you noticed and how mainstream handles cases like these what do you say they do the best of what you say they do the worst as a journalist and observing that some someone who spent a lot of time studying those. well the coverage of jeffrey i was doing was really a joke. now it's kind of funny the washington post is calling for the head

of alexander a constant just last week in the new york times wrote an article recently about how why is geoffrey have still not been in jail but what's funny about it is i came across a black book four years ago and i put it on the internet and the washington post had a copy of jeffrey of war and endeavor it seems like who were scores of victims so for the washington post to act outraged at this point is actually very very funny it is truly is because it's like you guys you read between two you know but when twenty thousand and eight when the first allegations kind of start creeping their way into the media you had plenty of time to cover this and be outraged that it's funny this kind of selective outrage was politically opportunistic now we can be outraged over a person who's attacking kids. there's always going to be this idea i mean in the obscene case it was clear that they didn't want any connection right before an election to bill clinton who is his friend had been on the on the planes or anybody

who was politically connected let me ask you. you followed investigated cases like this three areas and you know as journalists you know t.v. hosts i think we we've delved into these stories so much and i think the question we want to ask and for our viewers as what do we do to better help these victims you know who is who do we need to write letters to where do we need to either protest or where should we be giving money how do we help the best. it's very difficult because organizations that help children are very decentralized and it's and they're all working in different areas. so at this point i think what we really need is some kind of cohesiveness amongst the organizations that are that are helping children because they're fighting for grants and they're fighting for money and if there was better coordination by our government to protect our

children that would be the best possible outcome that you're you hit the nail on the head right there because the a lot of these predators use that the central decentralisation to to go after these children nic i want to thank you for your work and all the work you've done on cases like the euro to my friend thank you so much for coming on today. thank you tyrrel and thank you tabitha thank you. charles i'm sure it's the creator of the peanuts cartoon series once said all you need is love but a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt that is unless you live in the town of in western germany who were there were forced to contend with. chocolate when a faulty tank at the dry meister truckle a factory overflowed sending warm liquid chocolate goodness into the streets the one ton pool of liquid chocolate caused a ten metre square area to cover and soak into the roads and because it's winter

the chocolate frozen are. the rural fire brigade came to the rescue though chopping away at the mess with shovels and professional cleaners could steam the sweet out of the streets in record time the bittersweet event shows that the bar is pretty high this season as the people of our live in. who've lived. you know a great. as you know pretty pretty hard show debate again with everything going on but while that was like every kid's dream i know i'm going out there like which i was. told them about there's a truckload factory how to legally what can we have why do we have to have oil and gas leaks why can't we know more chocolate leaks in the desert or the first one there was a leak of a on a road in poland last month or a couple weeks ago of liquid chocolate so germany and poland get liquid truck with chocolate leaks and we get natural. water faucets the water white some fire

from the cold we're going to cry i mean we know that. all right everybody that is are sober that they remember everyone in this world we are not told we love the sword tell you all i love i rolled with a drum and let's keep on watching all those who are so great in my. the. above. prosecution will need to be. called where you. just read you'll find somebody no longer seem to i mean yeah i mean i mean

political pressure on the. security generation knows what kind of business models used by american corporations. he's sold on good mental disease has he. seen. the solution. alys up an association. i noted when he saw it is just simply a leisurely came to. an investigative documentary. ghost war on oxy. in this economy who gets in debt is no winner because everyone's going to default simultaneously and with the biggest debt you're the winner that said so absolutely right to get us to from twenty two to thirty to thirty five to forty trillion dollars in debt that's the best way to grow the economy without doubt.

there is a saying. there won't be cheap bust and then to improve the country so let's get right let's go through this company he said to me give them everything that's lifting to bust. this country. this is what we don't understand how we are in such contracts. the nurse until the month of the same company. was named i'm going to. assume to run a similar solution that i do like a good one you need one leg because if you feel if the minutes of phone were not there got can we believe again you know what to do with the phone the computer with

the plane. would come back to the place story you have to see. the. move. to move you. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars and more than ten points over time stamping each did. eighty five percent of global will you loan to the old prove rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent i just want to show your home with four hundred apply. hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you know for them it's the one and only.
