to hit us here to which the president replied i don't care i believe. a former acting director of the f.b.i. whips up controversy this morning by telling the media that donald trump may well be a russian asset. still filling the america's socialist flag bearer bernie sanders announces he's going to run for president in twenty twenty and promises to complete his revolution. but president putin hunting an endangered tell you in the wilds of siberia and yellow vest protesters marching under far right here among the stories that stole the day at the border ceremony in france for the best. of the past.

a good morning. is this is an international with me kevin i would like for marty h.q. moscow ten am here this wednesday and headlines in a bit more detail first off this big story coming in the former acting director of the f.b.i. andrew mccabe has provoked a firestorm of controversy by claiming both in a new book to the media that the u.s. president is in the kremlin's pocket do you still believe the president could be a russian. i think it's possible i think that's why we started our investigation i think the president is a threat is that what that means i think it's entirely possible i think that's one of the reasons why we opened the case against him we had. good reason. to consider. that the president might be a threat to national security did you suspect the president might actually be working for russia he thought that might be possible sensation sells the u.s. justice department last year for misleading officials he claims that he was ousted

because of the russian investigation of our senior correspondent takes up more of the story this morning. sensation selves it's a fact of life the bigger the dirtier the ruling shia your story the more people listen this book is dirty but we'll get to that first his revelations who could have believed that senior u.s. officials discussed seriously talked about declaring trump mentally or physically unfit to be president meaning he could be constitutionally removed from office discussion of the twenty fifth amendment was was simply rod raise the issue and discussed it with me in the context of thinking about how many other cabinet officials might support such an effort and the attempted coup some call this in the

united states of all places insanity and was this an attempted bureaucratic coup i don't know this was a coup attempt there's no doubt about it but hey one man's coup is another's revolution and would you believe there is worse stuff in this book allegedly trump trusts putin more than his own intelligence agencies unbelievable the president said he did not believe that north koreans have the capability to hit us here with ballistic missiles and united states intelligence officials in the briefing responded that that was not consistent with any of the intelligence our government possesses to which the president replied i don't care i believe putin that is a pretty outlandish claim but hey folks the buying it you know one of the things that impressed me about mccabe in the interview was how careful he was about what

he knew what he didn't know and what he had overheard he was very almost as if he was justifying it to trial did seem like mccabe. was being credible and it's a pretty incredible allegation the u.s. intelligence agencies well some people will believe anything especially if it tarnishes trump the more sensible bull look at the author andrew mccabe who may not be the most honest person in the world at all according to the justice department inspector general report with the sensation here when he was the f.b.i. as deputy director leaked sensitive information to the press and then lived about it four times three of those under oath mccabe is rightly perceived already as a lying before with a major set of conflicts of interest you know mccabe is i think he's under criminal

investigation already he's trying to sell this book now so the guy might be a liar ok it's given the benefit of the strange because trump threaten north korea with bibi asli they will be met with fire fury more than that in two thousand and seventeen russia joined in on sanctions against north korea meaning moscow to saw a threat facts fly in the face of sensation. breather from a version of it later no no more news this morning bernie sanders is back and is officially sold his how to the ring for the twenty twenty us presidential election the virtue of a more senators announce that he's drawn a mixed reaction online and in the media while some praised the decision and expressed hope the self-styled democratic socialist will be able to win the white house others argue those seventy seven is simply too old to be commander in chief

at his caleb maupin takes up the story. here it comes now. raised democratic socialism into the american political vocabulary he's got crazy hair and economic populism and he hit a chord with voters. america

will. be a socialist country. but from behind the scenes we saw that mainstream media and democratic party leaders were looking to put out the flames emails leaked from the party's governing body the d.n.c. show they were working overtime to try and secure the nomination of pillory clinton if she performs the sprawling the bernie camp will go nuts an alleged misconduct there will probably completely regardless actually does he believe in a gold he skated on saying he has a jewish heritage i think i read he's an atheist this could make several points difference with my peeps now polls show that sanders was actually more popular than hillary clinton and could have won in a final action against trump what that did not matter to a rigged democratic party machine headed by debbie wassermann schultz donna brazil

her replacement revealed the inner workings of a rigged democratic presidential primary i called gary gensler the chief financial officer of hillary campaign which seemed to confirm this suspicion so the bernie camp they can paint have the. porritt given it money every month to me it's basic expenses while the campaign was using the party as a fundraising clearing house and the media was in on it as well and schulte who was an archie host until his death last summer was working with m s n b c during the primary he described how he was specifically told not to cover sanders campaign i go to bernie sanders house that afternoon in an interview in the backyard about a fifteen minute interview the grandkids are running around it's a big day for the center's family he's going to announce that he's running for president we're going to carry it live later on in the day and we're going to run this one on one take with bernie it's five minutes to air and i get a phone call from phil griffin you're not covering this ultimately sanders ended

up accepting the results and endorsing hillary clinton but this time around we have even heard from other democratic party candidates who accept and confirm that it was indeed rigged against him do you agree with the notion that it was rigged yes this is a real problem but what with trump set to run for reelection in two thousand and twenty many democrats are lining up to be his opponent now sanders at this point in the game in what's already a pretty packed feel this time there's got to be many rank and file democrats who are asking themselves will they let it happen kaleb up and r.t. new york well staying in new york new york is that what they thought about. twenty twenty that bernie sanders. is to weld i hate to say it we did it you young fresh face you represent the party very well and he represents the progressive saw i extremely well so i think he's

good for the party he has a chance. yes i do think he has a chance of being nominated no unfortunately but i like it i like the guy i think he's i mean i don't agree with everything he says but again i think his attentions are going to be this is kind of the many supporters as we saw in two thousand and sixteen election i think he's going to be a drag for the democratic party because i think we need a consolidated mass of voters supporting one candidate and i think he kind of divides the the the wholeness of the effort history shows that the united states has never been socialist country and i'd stay will be in the future. it is still two and bernie sanders twenty twenty presidential bid the president says the mobo the vote moment guy's got some good ideas this time has passed or so i think you missed this time but i like bernie because he's the he's one person

that you know in trade he sort of would agree on trade i'm being very tough for trade he was tough and trade think what happened to bertie. maybe was not so nice i think he was taken advantage of he ran great four years ago. and he was not treated with respect by clinton and that was too bad but what he sort of exposed that not only is the system great for working people but it was also begins to by hillary clinton so a lot of us progresses in new york city were extremely upset about that but i think actually what he's trying to do now is to continue his revolution and he's really got father of democratic socialism ah you know we believe that bertie was a bad person to lead the way for for the new freshmen women of color in the democrat you know that were voted to the house like. cortez the presently salazar. going to leave all these. the

wonderful women of color bertie really sort of opened the door for them for them to actually get voted in she wants to continue and you really does have a program so a lot of us really hope. award ceremonies being held in france to celebrate some of the best pieces of journalism of the past year for the best fake news stories out of the show depends who's got the roundup of who won. they could need you in folks the spread of this information we're all being told to be on all go out for it well here in france they like to go one step further let me introduce you to the book. it's a mock awards show which looks to celebrate some of the ones this examples of fake news which are actually broadcast as real stories here in france where the winner

is taking home a statuette of water elf but a golden pinocchio first up let's take a look at the international category where a chilling tale of the russian media hunting tigers was broadcast of course do. but it was completely fake news turns out these images were actually taken of president putin when he was visiting a reserve which protects the endangered siberian tiger or the fake news stories from the north included this mysterious case of the severity of flag which was hoisted during a yellow best protest measure. on the mall. but this flag which the expert so expertly gave his opinion on is actually a local for i from the northern pick out the region now in the general category

here in france there was plenty of competition just like this a lot of media reported that we started and identified that there had been russian meddling that the russian state orchestrated interference in the banal a scandal ah yes russian meddling again also croyde the mainstream media without doing much checking or even it seems actually reading the study by the lab in the hit turret the misinterpretation of their work we never said this the fact that the government spokes person immediately exploded this for political ends created this sort of hype there was never the object of our study. then there are those super sneaky ways to get fake news across as we found out from one local french channel sports anything wrong you'd be forgiven for thinking that the

opposition to anti government strikes was more than half but it seems that this pie chart was artificially inflated and when all else fails you can always just to raise anything that you don't like take a look at this sign in the yellow best protests a mark or supporter in the midst of the yellow vest protests. are no in fact this is what the sign reset seems two thousand and eighteen was a year for fake fronts with many outlets seeing their noses grow more than one show it's even ski r.c. paris. a leading spanish newspaper is called syria after publishing an article praising the heroism of volunteers who fought alongside the nazis against the soviet union piece by a.b.c. discusses the hardships the volunteers faced including braving brutally cold temperatures with few provisions but it fails to give any historical context or

provide any balance the blue division which is the focus of this controversial piece was a volunteer unit created in one nine hundred forty one to show spain's devotion to hitler without openly drawing the country into the war the third reich even created a special medal to recognize the alleged heroism of the spanish fighters who served on the russian front during world war two the unit helped nazi germany to maintain the siege of leningrad warning you may find some of these pictures from history coming up upsetting. there are. but i mean this topic is ignored by spanish society and people who lived during

that period are already dead unfortunately young people nowadays know very little the topic is only known about by those with special interest in it most people don't know anything about it at all only historians and scholars can talk about it and at least have an opinion everyone knows that the play division was created by franco after the coup you know they fought on the side of the nazis that's clear we wore their uniforms and forth against the u.s.s.r. especially in the northern regions of the country that's a fact and there's no doubt about it that the majority of the population know about the war in general terms that it was against the nazis and they know thanks to american and british films that europe's liberators with the u.s. and u.k. they rewrote history with their feelings and many people believe it was not the soviet union that won the war and liberated europe but the us is spain's you can now have a falsified year of world war two it was in fact the u.s.s.r. that liberated europe and suffered most of all especially in leningrad when more than one million people died the sad time was coming up

a visit by the saudi arabian crown prince to india as overshadowed by the growing threat of conflict between india and pakistan tensions rising again we'll tell you all about it when we come back. you know world of big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream 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 truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

make this manufactured to send to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final. be the one percent. of the room. it's ten twenty the morning moscow time thanks so much use this one of you cheated and run the world this is out international next story the british museum has found itself facing a wave of criticism over only go the exhibition it was overrun by hundreds of protesters over its close ties to the oil giant british petroleum at the weekend bullyboy because covering the story. they say art cleanses the soul but for these

protesters the latest exhibition at london's british museum whitewash is the image of a less than squeaky clean or oil company. the i am exhibition here at the british museum has been nor dead by critics it shows the inner workings of the assyrian empire and displays also facts from what is now morgan de iraq many of which were taken during britain's colonial rule but the exhibition is sponsored by british oil giant b.p. which is accused of profiting from the war in iraq and contributing to climate change through its dedication to fossil fuels protest group or not b.p. says the group sponsoring cultural events like these the oil giant is art washing its image i was very upset and frustrated and shocked when i saw that this

incredible exhibit was taking place part it was sponsored by p.p. was a massive slap in the face for me b.p. was one of the biggest supporters of their health war they wanted to go into iraq because it was an opportunity for them to make money and to get oil and as an iraq even to somebody who wants to learn more about my cultural history you know to have to face this moral conflict felt as though purchasing a ticket and supporting the sponsorship would make me complicit in its in this form of neo colonialism essentially secret memos that emerged in two thousand and eleven review the b.p. encouraged the british government's decision to launch a war in iraq. iraq is the big opportunity to compete the long time potential is enormous and now b.p. jointly runs one of the world's largest oil fields in iraq and the conditions are

allegedly in b.p.'s favor reportedly the oil giant still gets paid by the iraqi government even if circumstances like natural disasters or terrorist attacks affect oil production and that is exactly a form of neo colonialism and of itself at all really rely unfortunately are on western companies like b.p. it's to invest in the country as a means to kind of create revenue and to make money but b.p. is obviously going to have the demands and requests in their contract because they know that they have the power to do so and it was actually forced the iraqi government to comply with their demands because the government is desperate for money campaigners take issue with b.p.'s environmental record to. contain. the deep water horizon disaster indigenous resistance to a fracking in argentina protests against profiteering and pollution in iraq but

here's a cute. accusing b.p. of lobbying against clean energy in favor of fossil fuels in twenty seventeen another renowned british museum the tate didn't win you its contract with b.p. after three decades of sponsorship following environmental protests and the british museum is already under constant pressure from campaigners and foreign governments to return artifacts looted during britain's days of empire b.p.'s corporate sponsorship of exhibitions that display what many regard as stolen treasures only adds fuel to the fire. there are those who say that corporate sponsorship is a reality if you want to keep the arts funded but the campaign is the british museum's acceptance as b.p.'s money is tantamount to accepting its business

practices two. we asked both british petroleum and the british museum to comment on the controversy while the oil company hasn't responded yet the museum spokesperson did go back and says that it respects people's rights to express their views so long as they're not damaging the artifacts of posing a threat to visitors the museum added that funding from british petroleum allows it to put on some of its exhibitions in the first place. next saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin solomons a royal india and pakistan fears of a military confrontation may be between the two neighbors. we demand to pakistan stops misleading the international community and takes all of the terrorists and terror groups operating from areas under their control. if you think you will launch any kind of attack in pakistan will think about retaliation and after that with things going we all know it's easy to start a war and one can start with the easily it is hard to stop a war sub then with things will go only god knows us on the territory of the flare

up took place last thursday in the rest of region of kashmir a pakistani suicide bomber attacked a bus killing more than forty indian paramilitary police officers the pakistani militant group mohammad claimed responsibility then on monday a gun fight erupted in the same region that left nine dead including both indian servicemen and suspected pakistani militants. this me has been a disputed area since india's petition of in one hundred forty seven it is claimed in its entirety by both countries though and has a long history of violence. there's

been tension going on there for decades in the kashmir area the fear always is that if there is that africa violence india will invade pakistani border areas of pakistan retaliates with us. tactical nuclear weapons and india retaliates with a full scale nuclear assault the scientists have done studies on this and they found that even a limited nuclear war between india and pakistan reach one hundred here ashima size nuclear weapons were used to create partial nuclear winter and kill up to two million people not only in that area but around the globe the weapons that these

countries have are much bigger than the hiroshima bomb and they've got more than the hundred that scientists have warned about so that we have to take this very seriously calm down diffuse tensions start talking again ten twenty in the house moscow time this wednesday that's where some of the will do so is the shaping up so far oh so much more comb i'm kevin owed for me and the rest of the team working the shift today whatever you're up to have a great day. greetings and salutations it goes without saying hawk watchers that one of the most vital element study of great society is the quality of the food it consumes because the late great virginia woolf once observed one cannot think well loved well sleep well if one has not bind well looking around at the current state of the world today and one could observe that many of us haven't been thinking well at all or just plain exhausted and that there is none bridled constant anger in the air and while there

is indeed much to be angry about and lose sleep over i can't help but wonder how much our food and what we consume plays in the actual role of our dismay both physically and mentally or at least adds to it so i think today let us put down our politics for a moment and pick up our plates and discover just what are we fueling our bodies with day in and day out. from the genetically toxic pesticides on our fields to the stomach churning conditions in our factory farms and much of the food we grow and consume fall is a brutal and dangerous paths to our table you see just like our politics our food is also being victimized by those who put profits before people and would rather a nation be malnourished and poisoned and healthy and free thinking but thankfully we have a diligent hardworking r.t. america correspondent out there to help us navigate the chambers of this new twenty
