what. no. the us media piles the pressure on. the details of. publishing a complete guide to impeachment. the us ambassador to germany warned. against

taking a pipeline project with russia on pain. and german politicians are openly angry over the intervention. of the leading. video showing off taking a newborn baby from her. who was accused of being drunk. and accusations of racism as white doctors in south africa. as a local health department strives to increase the number of black medics so we put the issue up for debate. and i would say that it is racist but i wouldn't say that it's surprising.

that monday morning a worldwide news headlines live from the. all of us here at r.t. international welcome to your new. liberal us media has been rounding on donald trump going so far as to produce a guide to impeachment and that is amid america's longest ever government shutdown over the standoff on funding the president's border wall plans and daniel hawkins reports if you care to impeach somebody that's doing a great job that's the way i view it it seems this weekend the media would determined to prove trump wrong on that one not that america's forty fourth president is a stranger to media attacks first there's the new york times going with a piece on last year's f.b.i. investigation into the president working for russia after president trump fired james b. komi as f.b.i. director for some of the fishes became so concerned by the president's behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of russia against american interests let's forget for

a moment that the new york times article itself states no evidence has actually been publicly seen the u.s. president was quick to make his feelings on the article clear i think is the most insulting thing i have ever been asked and if you read the article you see that they found absolutely nothing i think it was a great insult and the new york times it is a aster is a paper another media missile came flying in from the washington post's with a warhead packed with revelations about extra secrecy in his meetings with president putin that g twenty a surely their piece would confirm the very worst suspicions of the impeach trump camp the constraints that trump impose the part of a broader pattern by the presidents of shielding his communications with putin from public scrutiny and preventing even high ranking officials in his own administration from fully knowing what he has told one of the united states marine and research he's the same article mentions albeit only in the twenty fourth paragraph that trump does allow most of his conversations with putin to be

monitored by staffers and also that tillerson rex. u.s. secretary of state at the time was present for the hamburg meeting trump's second individual chat with putin reportedly happened at a dinner for the leaders perhaps not the best place to discuss an election rigging plan anyhow swift in oil from the us president followed trying to kill two birds or stories with one interview people that look at it it's a total hoax everybody knows it and it's really a shame because it takes time and it takes effort i have a one on one meeting with putin like i do with every other leader was a great conversation i'm not keeping anything under wraps i couldn't care less but these allegations are nothing without a long term plan and politico they released their very own handy comprehensive impeachment guide and again they acknowledge the limits of the current allegations and evidence against the president but they do come up with a way forward prizes for guessing that one

a few more investigations should get the job done for trump to be meaningfully vulnerable republicans in a handful of states would need to start seeing poll data that show their support for him could sink their own political futures trump would likely need to be incriminated for betraying the nation itself not just for campaign violations or improper behavior like paying hush money to pawn stars in fact but it gives you the number of republicans needed for the house vote even speculating on who exactly they could be just twenty representatives may be enough to swing the vote and push the motion. yet so far the donald enjoys solid backing from the members of his party with even the democrats unable to get on the same page your son was six years old mama look you why police don't play and these aren't because we're going to the idea really some of you have said it would be sad and divisive for the country we're pursue impeachment where we have to wait and see what happens with the moller

report we shouldn't be impeaching for a political reason and we shouldn't avoid it pietschmann for a political reason and with the prospect of impeachment ever present in public political and media discourse yet seemingly no closer than before let it go do come up with one good point just as clinton did trump could come out on the other side of an unsuccessful impeachment attempt with greater public sympathy and then improved prospect of winning reelection in twenty twenty at this rate it looks ever more likely we may need to wait til twenty twenty or even later until any prospect of a piece went comes over the horizon. with the record government shutdown showing no sign of being resolved americans are starting to feel the impact. we're now in the midst of the longest shutdown the longest government shutdown in

u.s. history. and airports at risk. at risk america's credit rating the work of the f.b.i. go on it ought. to have a plan on the show. you would have to understand won the election and. security for the american people part of that promise was a wall. elections have consequences.

freshman republicans are just playing take a six pack of beer on to the house floor and was told this not allowed it's friday to. turn around. the u.s. ambassador to germany has sent out warnings to german companies reminding them about significant sanctions for any firms involved in the notes. dream two pipeline project with russia the project is currently at least one third complete richard grenell said letters to several companies as you're aware the united states strongly opposes north stream to the pipeline poses serious geopolitical consequences to our european allies and partners we continue to stress that firms

operating in the russian energy export pipeline sector are engaging in activities that carry significant sanctions risk the us embassy later clarified the letters one to a threat but rather a statement of u.s. policy this however has not stopped a number of german part politicians from venting their anger. the us ambassador seems to give the impression he's a voice roy of the washington emperor the us ambassador using direct threats towards german companies is a new and i'm accepted will strengthening of tone in the transatlantic relationship which the federal government should protest against the matter of european energy policy must be decided in europe not in the u.s. the twelve one hundred kilometer pipeline is a joint project between russia's gas prom and five western companies with germany taking the lead role the projected cost is nine and a half billion euros the pipeline is supposed to double capacity via the baltic sea

and is expected to come into operation by the end of this year and we spoke with geo political analyst a p.r. emanuel thompson who believes america's rather pushy approach will only backfire the more united states put pressure on europeans the more very serious kids that europeans tried to detach themselves from the us and try to make a better deal we've russia we cannot abandon. it. goals of. economics reciting saw the armored can source who is it lean meat knew the or the traditional capacity of. a video of canadian authorities taking a newborn baby girl the way from the arms of a crying indigenous mother has caused an outcry you may find the video disturbing are you going to comply if not we're going to have to physically remove the i don't want to. go are you going to work on the steps to get the.

you. in the video policeman explain that the baby is being taken into care the woman had been accused of being drunk when she arrived in hospital however according to the family's lawyer doctors said that she was not intoxicated the lawyer also said the authorities have demanded that the family remove the video from the internet or else it might hamper their case getting the baby back. pog breaking an indigenous child ripped from her mother's arms by the state again this is not just part of canada's history it's today's leave reality we're failing in breakin sealy ation on every front imaginable when it comes to discriminatory treatment of indigenous people the united states and canada follow the same ill principles the mother was

already seeking help from manitoba child and family services then they took a baby with scans reason stupid move because other women will get the picture and not seek help racists meanwhile the canadian child services authority claims that the right decision was made despite the fact that around eleven thousand children are currently in care in manitoba province where the incident took place and nearly ninety percent of them are indigenous vancouver indigenous activist laura williams thinks this practice is actually due to the residential schools system. prematch says every weekend since you have been a dancer on the very beginning when they got the rank made it a lark to take that shower and whatever in the residential well how far back go you know when you had the police who were taking you need children and throwing everything he's residential all right richard where they were tortured. beaten used

for child labor you know you have all these things how are back it go you know rather have already asked the will to try to get children back but i think that. they you know where the children are taken and i think she's right and how are things you know how do because you know now her children and their national military you have an issue you know being. there she's basically down to two hundred dollars they're writing out one hundred dollars in writing trying to get her children without know how if there's no mission like our. concerns are rising over a new israeli road which segregates israeli and palestinian drivers israel's transportation minister says it will make jerusalem stronger critics say it only deepens divisions as our correspondent paula smith welcome to the latest on top of the here in the west bank behind me is

a newly inaugurated five kilometer stretch of road with a physical barrier. but think now this better be a separate israeli and palestinian drive it's going to take a drive. and this is the israeli side of the boat it connects to loosen them with the settlements so most of the drivers here are sick as now the only palestinians who are allowed on this side of the road all those who have special entry permits for two who said i'm i'm filming with a palestinian cabinet and he has to carry his pemaquid in all the time in case we get stopped it's all claim to speak. that this new barrier strengthens the connection between the settlements and should we select and also helps ease traffic i do believe that primarily it's to further separate and dominate kind of jerusalem to make it more accessible easy access to those living in the settlements so they can get to jerusalem faster we need to find

a way that both sides can use the same streets even lee it's not fair it's not ok for. the deed to be like that to me to be something else we've had to travel quite a distance to do we used to and we're now coming back down the same road we were driving along the earlier just in the opposite direction so all the drivers you see here are palestinian they have no permits to enter jerusalem and for them this wall is nothing short of blatant discrimination they call it the apartheid war. so some of those critical of the israelis to this new road is the main route for the palestinians to connect the northwest current to the east and west because they want to control the old route which connects the ma'ale adumim and not to settlements with the jordan valley section of this road benefits israel moving the palestinian. peace road doesn't help but now this people as the israeli government

claims they made this road to close down a lot more street in the future and to make they don't leave for the israelis it took more than ten years for this road to open because of a dispute between the israeli police and army over who would control a checkpoint here and there are other divided roads in the west bank but none of them have a wall separating the two sides the road to two resolving divisions here just got longer. west bank. quarter past the hour here in moscow three people including a child have been killed eight injured in a gas explosion in a residential building in shakti city in southwestern russia and the explosion happened on the top floor of a nine story building you can see two of the stores suffered a collapse destroying four flats it's feared others may be trapped under the rubble five people are still missing we'll keep you updated here on out. in the meantime though we are running down the top stories on this monday. just.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. let it be an arms race. dramatic. i don't see how. very. they put themselves on the line. for us. to be close this is what. people are. interested in the water.

today for the monday program a race route has erupted in south africa after a local health department reportedly told white doctors to apply according to a leaked document that a. four hundred sixty six black doctor has. also include thirty two indian twelve white and mixed race professional. we are unapologetic about addressing these imbalances of the past south africa including cause remains an unequal society with limited opportunities to self development

those who historically oppressed south african political party the democratic alliance has expressed outrage over the policy it insists that the health department is acting in a racist way and going against constitutional values the whites currently make up around nine percent of south africa's population so we got reaction from our guests . this is not the first example of hiring policies being discriminatory particularly against white people and i would say that it is racist but i wouldn't say that it's surprising and that's why ny kind of the member of course in south africa we know that you are coming from and called the up out of date when white people do it you've made more people that use them to play doctor as we rejected the priorities was given to the white people unfortunately that legacy is still continuing the government is more willing to work with companies and is willing to

tax them less if they hire more black people and if there are more black people who own shares in the company yes while there are. advantage at vantage white people who do have money from either success recently or success from that's carried over from before the change of government this doesn't change the fact that this is not a fair policy and white people have been all this legendary as steve villages that today i changed it from the previous government of up but but instead of trying to trick to lend it to a way and in hand with their counterparts they see themselves as. the black people that they are the elite group they control the governments they control the business they control the education our black people i speak live people are poor and white doctor has immigrating only to either countries or. graduated they don't

watch two or two i was ruled out it was in black township too to save in the hospital stairwell clinics the only solution would be to recruit small lead people so that people who can be separate well a lot of white doctors who have worked in these poor rural areas they have not been able to to do business with the majority. because the majority is interested in black doctors but the majority is not interested in becoming doctors they're more interested on living off of government benefits and not working hard enough to have doctors from their own communities. hollywood star bryan cranston best known perhaps for his leading role in the breaking bad t.v. program is facing a backlash of a playing the part of a disabled character in a remake of the french hit the touchable and the film is about a paralyzed millionaire who hires an ex criminal to be his caretaker and some have

taken offense that able bodied cranston was given the role. i need assistance don't always work that out you can move him out and as can you. i. will some online complain that cranston's role should have been given to an actual quadriplegic others noted that his his costing role disabled actors of opportunities across to himself thinks the criticisms are unfair. i think being cast in this role as a quadriplegic really came down to a business decision as actors were asked to be other people to play other people if i is a straight older person and i'm wealthy but i'm very fortunate does that mean i can't play a person who's not wealthy does that mean i can't play a homosexual i don't know where does this restriction apply we raise the line for that. filmmaker dominic evans says it's harder for able bodied doctors to play characters with disabilities and this can have negative consequences casting

non-disabled people as disabled character has considerable amount of time to disabled people especially those with physical disabilities because he's protecting someone that isn't wheelchair use and it's those social random ramifications that are really what i'm concerned with we know that through the study of film that represent he should manders inaccurate representation causes harm to us most non-disabled people are afraid of becoming disabled and non-disabled people are primary we grading films about disability so if you're coming at it from a place of harm and fear to begin with it's probably not going to be an actual accurate representation of what disability is and what disabled lives are like. it's not the first time actors have come under fire for playing roles of minorities they do not belong to the star of the american t.v.

show stranger things charlie heaton was criticized for his part in a remake of the elephant man and scarlett johansson dropped out of her transgender role in the movie rug and hug after a backlash from the transgender community again alluded in a media commentator things it doesn't matter who plays what role so long as the right issues get attention. brings awareness to the issues of disability when they're making a film that incorporates someone with a disability as long as they're depicted in realistic or positive light i think that's a good thing i think every actor who plays someone in a particular situation has necessarily experienced it that's of course part of acting can cast who have whom ever they want to cast for these roles if that person is disabled that. and then that's great and if that person isn't maybe they can't find a person with the exact disability with an acting ability for example if hollywood

as a business wants to produce a movie i think that they should produce that movie however they see fit and if people don't like it they should simply not go see that movie. a polish mayor has been stabbed on stage during a charity event he's currently in a critical condition after your soul to be a taco walked around the stage shouting that he was wrongfully imprisoned under the former government he blamed the mayor of. as he was previously a member of poland's ruling party the suspect was held down by security guards is now in custody. well thanks for joining us here and also you international your monday program is in about twenty five.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth to the ultra rich eight point six percent market so thirty percent i just want to secure them with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit for sure and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need remembering what one does not show you know for two minutes one can only buy. it as you know provision i want to know what it is on those. oh. you're so you know i lost his boss because. we.

had any. but the pressure on us. so i was you know i was you know. you know just i mean what almost what it i'm already but it was spent a lot of the media eat. it up as well i must. get off on getting worse but those were the old. one of those but i was just. my body and we've got a bomb i just got that already. in the. u.s. implemented. they put themselves on the line they did accept the reject. so when you want to be

president and she. wanted. to go on the beach for us this is what the full premium on can people get. interested always in the waters of our. city. the methodology we're going underground twenty four hours before. that deal and that's the. a prime minister once again counsels at the day before coming on the show is tomorrow's vote rooted in the ashes of empire arguably britain's greatest

the geography professor danny dorling on his new book britannia pounds three years to the month of the death of david bowie who refused nitrogen what role did klaas play in ziggy stardust in the spiders from mars we interviewed the only surviving spider what he would lindsey bolus of all coming up in today's going underground but first if you believe the british media the world's repeated fifth largest economy faces a political meltdown tomorrow finally to resume is set to allow parliament to have a say on a brics a deal which he fought tooth and nail to keep the legal details off secret but the party that allowed her to even be prime minister after she paid a defacto bung of a billion pounds does not support the legally binding range month which ties us to the antichrist in the end definitely and ties us to the e.u. until you decide to let us go is not acceptable could to raise it maes deal be altered at the eleventh hour no said britain's finance minister u.k. chancellor of the exchequer philip hammond accuses those who believe in

a last minute change of being delusional the idea that there is an option of renegotiating the eleventh hour is simply a delusion and u.k. mainstream media is arguably timidly turning against stories making to promote tory backbenchers like this one seen insulting germy corbin's labor party there is no serious opposition there is nobody challenging the government in the way actually it ought to be a challenge because good opposition leads to good government there is to borrow does read his phrase a range of exhausted volcanoes i think some of them were never even volcanoes it's more like a range of molehills but is that true or is it a progressive progress of perspective aleck's it perspective is not being given that i'm in britain his mentor to so many of labor's front bench is tony benn who's pro breaks of views first informed jeremy corbyn and which are agreed on not only by the seventeen million voted for bracks into the referendum not only by jacob reese morg but a majority of labor's working class space and i want.
