no. i think that only. the. us media pals the pressure on donald trump alleging he suppressed details of his talk to. publishing a complete guide to impeachment. the us ambassador to germany after threatening local firms and sanctions if they take part in

a pipeline project with russia. on the loose oh. canada is a video showing authorities taking a new born baby from her mother and basically being dropped. plus accusations of racism as white doctors in south africa are told not to bother replying is the local health department strives to increase the number of black medics we put the issue up for the back. and i would say that it is racist but i wouldn't say that it's surprising. from. the welcome you're watching r.t.

international this monday afternoon it's just gone two pm here in moscow. sections . the u.s. media have been rounding on donald trump of going so far as to produce a guide to impeachment another has published a list of reasons why trump might be a russian asset and a security threat one that even the f.b.i. can't deal with and hawkins has more details. 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 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 and surely their piece would confirm the very worst suspicions of the impeach trump camp the constraints that trump imposed 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 mean. 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 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 here so six years though mama lot you whine bully don't play these out because we're going to go in there 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 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 politico 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 a patient comes over the horizon and hawkins there will in the latest development trumps interpreters who were present at his meeting with vladimir putin could reportedly be made to testify now 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. airports risk food inspections at risk america's credit rating the work of the f.b.i. go out it all on. the stomach. safety and security for the american

people. was a wall of. freshman republicans just trying to take a six pack of beer on to the house floor and was told this not allowed it's friday that left turn around. now the u.s. ambassador to germany has sent warnings to german companies reminding them about significant sanctions for any volved in the north stream to a pipeline project with russia the project is currently complete richard grenell sent letters to several companies. as you are aware the united states strongly opposes nord 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 while the us embassy later clarified that the letters were meant as a threat but rather as a statement of u.s. policy is however hasn't stopped a number of german politicians from venting their anger. the u.s. ambassador seems to give the impression he's a viceroy of the washington emperor the us ambassador using direct threats towards german companies is a new and i'm acceptable 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. well the twelve hundred kilometer gas pipeline is a joint project between russia's gazprom and five western companies with germany taking a leading role the projected cost is nine and

a half billion euro ace the pipeline is supposed to double capacity by the baltic sea and is expected to come into operation by the end of the year geo political analyst pierre emmanuel farman believes america is pushing approach though could backfire. the united states has to go. behind do pressure of it to turn the european union energy companies first of all the united states would like to sell of their own shaded guts and in competition we have a russian gas the second objective of the united states has always been to control eurasia and to prevent europe to be too close to russia the more the united states put pressure on europeans the mall there is a risk that the europeans try to detach themselves from the u.s. and try to make it better deal we've russia we cannot abandon. him import of

russian gas of research ruby issue economics reciting saw the americans or so is it really meet new day or the pressure of capacity. now video of canadian authorities taking a newborn baby girl from the arms of her crying indigenous mother has caused outrage you might find the following same upsetting. are you going to comply we're going to have to physically remove i don't want to. go to work on the steps to get the review that. you. were in the video policeman did explain that the babies 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 she wasn't 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. hard braking and indigenous childbirth 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 break unseemly ation on every front imaginable when it comes to discriminatory treatment of indigenous people the united states and canada follow the same ill principle the mother was already seeking help from manitoba child and family services then they took a baby with scant reason stupid move because other women will get the picture and not seek help racists while 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. indigenous activists there early williams thinks this practice is to to the residential school system. prematch. you have been a dancer in the very beginning when they got the rank made it a lark to take picture and whatever in the residential school how are. you know when you have the police who are taking you need children and throwing everything he's residential all right richard where they were tortured raped beaten used for child labor you know you have all these things are back in go you know rather have there are already are the will to try to get children back that they know where the children are taken and that. kind of how are going you know how do because you know now their children and their national average you know tinkering

with. their should basically down to two hundred dollars they're writing out one hundred dollars in writing trying to get her children without know how it is there's no question 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 or they critics to say it will only deepen divisions poor slip reports welcome to the age of controversy here in the west bank behind me is a newly inaugurated five kilometer stretch of road with a physical barrier. but now let's bury a separate israeli and palestinian drive and it's going take a drive. and this is the israeli side of the boat it connects to receive them with the settlements so most of the drivers here are state as 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 cabinet and he has to carry his permit with him all the time in case we get stopped it's wrong. claims that this new barrier strengthens the connection between the settlements and you recently and also helps ease traffic do you 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 something else we've had to travel quite a distance to do we do turn 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 wall. some of. the israelis open this new road is a main route for the palestinians to connect the north of the west bank to the east and west they want to control the old route which connects the mala i do mean and i'm not a settlements with the jordan valley circumvents. this road doesn't help without its people as the israeli government claims they met this road to close have a lot more street in the future and the 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 water separating the two sides the road to resolving divisions here just got longer forty three hour after west bank. now here in russia one person is being

killed and eight injured in a gas explosion in a residential building in the city in southern russia the explosion happened on the top floor of a nine story building to the story suffered a collapse destroying four flats of his fifth others may be trapped under the rubble with four people still unaccounted for emergency accommodation is being provided for those who need it a criminal investigation has been opened into the incident. watching r.c. we're going to take a quick break we'll be back in. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime families each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to the rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent cure some with four hundred to five hundred three

per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one doesn't show forward to miss the one and only. join me every first week on the alex simon shill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you there.

live again that fifteen people have been killed after a boeing seven zero seven cargo plane crashed in iran to the west of the capital tehran the plane is said to have been ironed by these raney and returning from kurdistan it seems the pilot tried to land the plane at an airport near the one he was supposed to land that the plane came off the runway before smashing into a war sting into flames sixteen people we're told were on board it was only one survivor. what we're trying to say can to twitter threaten to devastate turkey's economy if ankara attacks the kurds in syria so he's foreign minister in turn hit back saying ally should not negotiate over social media or from fired off his tweet after turkey would need its threat to launch a military offensive against the kurdish y p j in northern syria group received support from the us and has played a role in fighting islamic state but the why p.g.

is viewed by ankara as a terrorist organization this speed has put a strain on the u.s. and turkey's long longstanding alliance with the nato and civil war activist richard becker says punishing ankara economically would create a crisis. he's threatening our country is part of nato with you know the states and a kind of the eastern acre of nato and then to simply say we will devastate the turkish economy 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 a new sanctions particularly if they were said to be devastating sanctions. or trump also tweeted that the u.s. military pullout from syria would go ahead as planned he and his administration

have been giving at mixed messages though on the issue breaks down why trumps promise's the starting to sound 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 shoulder brace. 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 are very angry needier 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't get a sofa delivered in that time america has been withdrawn 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 guy or like i'm just there to 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. and 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 troops would be leaving one one hundred percent of isis is

destroyed and when it's prudent you can. when i agree probably the war in syria isn't really about syria it's about keeping these guys happy and these guys until someone leaves to tell donald trump. now race riot has erupted in south africa after a local health department reportedly told white doctors not to bother applying according to elite documents the department is aiming to hire four hundred sixty six black doctors targets also include thirty two indian twelve white and four mixed race professionals. 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 is why it's currently make up around nine percent of south africa's population we've got reaction from markets. 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 bit 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 legend to just give villages that today i changed from the previous government of but but instead of trying to trick to lend a. hand 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 blip 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 brings you up to date that's how the news is looking here today on our back again there with more on the headlines and. it was you know provision of my by going to i want to.

get. your for your height oh i lost his boss because i just got the. resources you know. any of those in person but that's almost. so nice as you know but i was you know. you know just i mean my body i'm already what it was but. i remember the lord we're going to. give it up as well i must say i mean really he was i just don't get it i'm getting letters but those were the ost. people are going to respond on one of these but i was just this boy this one of these i will ask him i will write about him we fussy you could have got a bomb i just got that already and yes it will be and he thought a good thing of it but i think with you you're simply i mean think about a lot of me just got to go you.

were told to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go right to be close this is what the book for reasonable people. interested. in the waters of our. city hall. you know world's big partisan lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the
