it's just after eleven am on monday here in moscow of course this is r.t. international from all of us here welcome to your. the liberal u.s. media has been rounding on bottle trump going so far as to produce a guide to full impeachment and that's ahead america's longest ever government shutdown over the standoff on funding the president's border wall plans and daniel hawkins reports you can't 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 but that america's forty fifth president is a stranger to media attacks first there's the new york times go 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 foresman officials 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 at g. twenty a surely their piece would confirm the very worst suspicions of the impeach trump camp the constraints that trump imposed a 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 main adversaries 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 rex tillerson 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 an 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 it 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 no prizes for guessing that one a few more investigations should get that 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 when your son was six years old mama look you one bully you don't play and baby things out because we're going to go in there really some of you have said it would be sad and divisive for

the country will pursue impeachment where we have to wait and see what happens with the mahler 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 till twenty twenty or even later until any prospect of peace mint comes over the horizon. and if the latest development trumps interpreters who were present at his meeting with vladimir putin could reportedly be made to testify before congress meanwhile with the record government shutdown showing no sign of being resolved americans are starting to feel the impact.

we are 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 the. security

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 clarify the villagers were not a threat but rather a statement over u.s. policy this however has not stopped a number of german politicians from venting their anger the u.s. 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 hundred kilometer pipeline is a joint project between russia's gas problem and five big western companies with

germany taking the lead role the projected cost is nine and a half billion euros and 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 geo political analyst a p.r. emanuel tallman believes america's current pushy approach will backfire. the more you need to cease to pressure and europeans the more there is a risk that europeans tried to detach themselves from the us and try to make it better dear we've russia we cannot abandon and. improve import of russian gals of east ruby issue economics reciting saw the armor can source who is it really meet new wii or the pressure of capacity. a video of canadian authorities taking a newborn baby girl from the arms of a crying indigenous mother has caused an outcry you may find this video disturbing

. are you going to comply if not we're going to have to physically remove the i don't want to. go on and you got to work on the steps to get the media back into all. of them are 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 the doctors actually said 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 in 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 the early ninety percent of them are indigenous vancouver indigenous activist to laurel a williams thinks this practice is actually due to the residential schools system. prematch this is there is again this is going to have been a dance on the very beginning when they got her rank made it a law to take that shower and they were in the residential well this is how far

back. you know when you have the police who are taking you need children and throwing them in these residential well run by the church where they didn't retort to rain beaten us for child labor you know you have all these going to help our back. you know the mother had the workers already off that well to try to get her children back but that. they are no way to children are taken and i think she did were kind of how we're going. now how do because you know now the children and then i still lose their income if you know me. there she would basically down to two hundred dollars they're buying up and two hundred dollars and i'm trying to get her children wrapped with know how it is there's no mischief there's just like our. concerns are rising over a new israeli road which segregates israeli and palestinian drivers israel's

transportation minister says it will make sure were some strong critics say it only deepens divisions as our correspondent paula slam. welcome to the latest controversy here in the west bank behind me is a newly inaugurated five kilometer stretch of road with a physical barrier by government with one thing now this bury a separate israeli and palestinian drive it's going to take a drive. this is the israeli side of the road it connects to rousselin with the settlements so most of the drivers here are still is now the only palestinians who are allowed on this side of the road all those who have special interest permits for jerusalem i'm filming with a palestinian cameraman and he has to carry his permit with him all the time in case we get stopped its claim is that this new barrier strengthens the connection between the settlements and jerusalem and also helps ease traffic they 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 group to be like that to me to be some figures we've had to travel quite a distance to do we used to turn and we're no 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 there this wall is nothing short of blatant discrimination they call it the apostate or. some of. the israelis open this new road is a main route for the palestinians to connect the north of the west current to the east and west because they want to control the old route which connects the mala i

do mean not to settlements with the jordan valley circumvents or sort of this road doesn't help without this people as the. israeli government claims they made this want to close down a lot more street in the future and to make it only 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. for to see our team west bank coming your way here on r.t. in just a moment of the star of hit u.s. t.v. show breaking bad coming under fire for playing a disabled character in a hollywood remake of the film with the in touch of details on that.

put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. wanted. to go on to be for us this is what the three of the more people. interested in the waters in the. city. by you'll have to. split your own personality into to you that is the committee of jihad this that was still alive within me and then there is the person who wanted to come to everything they want to do and then try to dismantle everything they were doing so you have to really become a good doctor. do. you have to pull your own family in order to pull them.

in one day program hey welcome to it a boeing seven zero seven cargo plane has crashed in iran to the west of the capital tehran reportedly with up to sixteen people on board the plane is said to be owned by the iranian i mean was returning from critical stun it seems the pilot tried to land the plane off an airport near the one he was supposed to land the plane reportedly came off the runway before smashing into a wall and busting into flames several people are confirmed to have died in the crash one known survivor and you get more updates when i see you will get the. donald trump took to twitter threaten to devastate turkey's economy if the country

attacks kurds in syria so he's presidential spokesman tweeted back calling on the u.s. leader to respect the strategic partnership between the two countries fight off his tweet off to turkey renewed its threat to launch a military offensive against the kurdish y p g a northern syria the group receive support from the u.s. and has played a crucial role in fighting islamic state but the why p.g. is viewed by ankara as a terrorist organization and the dispute has put a strain on the u.s. he's a longstanding alliance with the nato and he will activists brian baca for example says he fears the situation could escalate. and he's threatening our country that is part of nato with the united states and a kind of the eastern anchor of nato and then to simply say we will devastate the turkish economy we can't really imagine having heard from any other president of the united states particularly in those terms but i think it would be there were

really create a crisis very serious crisis in the relations between the u.s. and turkey if the u.s. were to now move to implement new sanctions particularly if they were said to be devastating sanctions. tweeted that the u.s. military pullout from syria would go ahead as planned he and his administration well they will be giving up pretty mixed messages on that issue of playboy canal breaking down why trump's promises are starting to sound a little bit hollow. don't trump the border to get american troops out of syria may not be happening off your role in case you missed it this is my show based. donald trump surprise declaration that american troops would be pulling out of syria within days went down like a black hole kid in central mogadishu democrats are angry republicans around very angry media is angry american president just called around withdrawing from the

rules on a whim that's not part of the job description there is two thousand u.s. troops in syria go in no where the pullout method always ends up being a case of good intentions lost in the thrust of reality just. getting out of syria in thirty days was always ambitious you can get a sofa delivered in that time america's been with jewelry from iraq and afghanistan for years now it's a slow process just like many pretend but titian's like talking about bringing the troops home they don't actually like to do it and the media will play the right just pacifist unless it's trump's idea anyway we all learned by now that the public statements are more of a general guide like i just cry about it but at least this is a president who in principle wants to get out of the rule surely that's a start something to work with. blowing shit up honestly who could want to get in

the way of that defense secretary james mattis quit right away saying that trump should find somebody more aligned to his own views on this and apparently it's proving difficult to find someone in washington who wants to end a war and not start. this should have stuck around because voice of reason national security advisor john bolton confirmed one hundred percent without a doubt absolutely that it would be leaving one one hundred percent of isis is destroyed and when it's prudent you can. when. probably no you are in syria is it really. it's not keeping these guys happy these guys. someone needs to tell the truth. it is all a race row has erupted in south africa for a local health department reportedly told white doctors not to bother applying according to

a legal document the department is aiming to hire four hundred and sixty six black doctors it's equity targets also include thirty two indian twelve white and four mixed race professionals we are on a polygenic 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. 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 with a white sheet for which you have been 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 having all this legit e.s.q. villages that today i changed from the previous government of up but but instead of trying to. lend

a. hand in hand with their counterparts they see themselves as any it's 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 once they're graduated they don't watch to or to i was brought in to guys in black township to to save in the hospital stairwell clinics the only solution would be to recruit small eucalypt 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 community. hollywood star bryan cranston best known for his

leading role in the breaking bad t.v. series is facing a backlash of a playing the part of a disabled character in a remake of the french hit the intouchables the film is about a paralyzed millionaire who hires an ex criminal to be his caretaker a some have taken offense that able bodied cranston was given the role. i need assistance. you can move him out and as can you. some online complain that cranston's role should have been given to an actual quadriplegic others noted that is costing rob disabled actors of opportunities to cranston 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 we discussed at the backlash against bryan cranston with filmmaker dominic evans. casting non-disabled people as disabled character it's has considerable amount of time to disabled people especially those with physical disabilities because he's pre-training someone that isn't wheelchair use and it's the 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 primarily grating films about disability so if you're coming at it from a place of hymen fear to begin with it's probably not going to be an actual

accurate representation of what disability years and what disabled lives are like it's not the first time actors have come under fire for playing roles of minorities that are belong to other star of the american t.v. shows stranger things charlie he was criticized for his part in the remake of the elephant man and scarlett johansson dropped out of her transgender rolled in the movie rug and tug after a backlash from the entire transgender community and you know lewd in a media commentator things it doesn't matter who plays what role so long as the right issues are addressed. 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 a 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 whoever whomever they want to cast for these roles if that person is disabled then that's great and if that person isn't maybe they can't find a person with the exact disability within 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. that's quickly turning into a busy monday for your worldwide news headlines your program at the top.
