10:06 am
manifesto he also names the figures who inspired him with donald trump and the norwegian white supremacists and mass murder and among them tucker also said he wanted his actions to pit political parties around the world against one another more garcia explains. in the hours of to the dreadful events in new zealand an act soon horrid so soulless that the flies understanding in those hours it seems everyone's become a detective judge and jury it seems that everyone's milking this tragedy using it as an opportunity to seeing those they disagree with starting of course with trump mr trump your awards not the. your policy is not that here's the u.s. president with his friends trump inspired an australian white supremacist to murder a group of new zealand muslims words have consequences like saying we have an
10:07 am
invasion or border. and talking about people as though they were different in some fatal way this partisan madness has well and truly spilled over the chairman of the democratic coalition has published a poll asking people whether trump was responsible ninety one percent said yes well everyone has a right to their opinion but it wasn't just trump's fault no no you see this he missed massacre carried out by a self professed white supremacy was actually inspired by get this by a black conservative activist. people with deep psychological impairments show the most clearly moments when healthy humans would feel nothing but empathy and sadness and grief candace owens is deeply deeply even
10:08 am
beauty pyatt youtube's biggest star even if he got the blame white supremacists scared of the killings at christ church in new zealand you don't subscribe to p.d.p. before the shootings i have two to three years working people about pity parties dangerous rhetoric we're connections shooter also likened himself to nelson mandela and thank goodness no e.d.s. has yet come forward to blame the global icon the reason all of these people and others are getting flack is because they were mentioned by the killer in this manifesto or in the lives therefore because they were mentioned by a deranged maniac or somehow complicit in the logic goes. well really this madman is being taken seriously another thing the murderer route is that what he did will set off
10:09 am
a larger political conflict global pit the right against the left and unfortunately it seems to be happening exactly as he wanted we discussed the terror attack and the question of radicalization with our guest stephen morris of the english democrats party and catherine schachter of the shack an institute for middle eastern studies. i think that the issue of radicalism is rampant nine our society and across the board recall is of geography and i think that's a problem we need to actually be courageous about and face up to and it's not limited to islamic radicalism i think that fascism is on the rise wherever and it has a lot to do with the fact that there's been so much you know identity politics there is so much part of the ring of certain demographics that people always doing behind i would say very practical lines when it comes to the way that they identify politically socially ethnically and of course religiously and this is this is an
10:10 am
issue we have this kind of brand new values and now that is targeting everyone i need to see the misreporting or the lack of reporting from the mainstream media and you know. we're. all over the world report however when these. attacks in the middle east talking christian groups. don't seem to get the same kind of coverage you should always the world is. somebody with mental problems no it's not the case we need to start to report these things properly and we need to pour all over my concern now is that we're trying to use this to try squash any debate or any conversations regarding extremism both for mother of. caring for people not have an understanding of course that it's ok to go back and killing muslims because that the other day the foreigners and therefore you know they are literally it's open market on them then people feel
10:11 am
free to just target them or demonize them or criminalize them just for existing in the west you know they have been portrayed so many times as foreigners as if religion is a nationality this identity politics not that is running rampant in our society across the board regardless you know whether we're on the right on the left this is something that is pandemic we are in a situation where we are criminalizing people. differences and trying to read through behind klein and it's a dangerous dangerous leap culturalism doesn't work it's been shown not to work you can't have different cultures different laws in one place you have to have a common purpose of the common purpose the law of the culture. you have to follow. trying to bring people from different countries. have different laws of want to use their own laws from where the trouble from that doesn't work you know we are losing values and this this is being seen now and being manipulated by people who
10:12 am
do maybe have mental issues but i think a lot of the time is being driven by a very sick and therefore s. agenda they know exactly what they're doing and they quite happy doing it so that it's a form of global sourcing. for more details an update on what happened in new zealand head over to r.t. dot com. u.s. special counsel robert muller says he's ready to report his preliminary findings on alleged collusion between russia and donald trump the american president is bringing the probe illegal. so if it was knowingly and acknowledged to be zero crime when the special counsel was appointed and if the appointment was made based on the fake dossier paid for by crooked hillary then the special counsel should never have been appointed and there should be no mood to report this was an illegal in conflicts of the investigation in search of
10:13 am
a crime the president's words come just after the house unanimously voted four hundred twenty to zero for the report to be disclosed the picked us to mention by trump is the infamous steele report and the reporter who broke the news later said that nothing in the dossier is verified the report with indirectly funded by the us time across party and drawn up by former british intelligence officer christopher steele the dossier claims russia has compromising material on the us president. recently released testimony from a us justin justice department official sheds new light on the steel dossier burst or says he warned the f.b.i. that it was likely biased against the us president. reports. bruce or he's a former associate attorney general and director of the federal organized crime and drug enforcement task force his testimony about the christopher steele dasi on trump is now in the media's focus under review apparently is demoted d.o.j. official bruce or big story in washington those allegations that russian officials
10:14 am
have compromising information about donald trump tonight we're learning more about bruce and here's why according to the latest revelations bruce or is looking a little bit two faced here's face number one so the record is clear what the department of justice and the f.b.i. was aware of. prior to the first foreign intelligence surveillance act with relationship with christopher mr bush against donald trump when i spoke with the f.b.i. i told the my wife was working for fusion g.p.s. i told them fusion g.p.s. was doing research on them and trump i told them this is the information i had gotten from chris steele now that salacious and unconfirmed dossier written by christopher steele is the basis and foundation of the trump russia investigation according to his testimony given behind closed doors bruce or thinks it might be biased against donald trump he testified that christopher steele seemed determined
10:15 am
that trump not get elected i provided information to the f.b.i. when i thought christopher steele was as i said disproved that trump be elected so yes of course i provided that to the f.b.i. now at least some in the justice department were actually suspicious of steele from the beginning but let's look at face number two despite his warning about the da ca mr or and mr steele were in close contact you have my sympathy and support if you and. i really need the bureau contact point to a number who is briefed a million things understood i can certainly give you an f.b.i. contact if it becomes necessary now for ten months after donald trump was elected bruce or function as the middleman communicating with mr steele on behalf of the justice department so on the one hand we've got bruce or testifying before congress under oath that mr steele had an ax to grind that he wanted trump to be removed and that his report may not be credible but on the other hand we've got bruce or
10:16 am
communicating with christopher steele and reassuring him that everything's going to be ok almost as if they're working together now after two years of investigating collusion it seems that congress has finally found some but it wasn't between trump and russia. r.t. new york still to come protests and telly in city after two rape convictions are overturned that story and more in just a few minutes. when lawmakers manufacture consent to stick to the public will. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. with the crime and. listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the
10:17 am
room sick. leave the room the more you leave the room. it's up to the government to step in and be a player in the economy not just an enabler for monopolies you know the government should be competing for health care and drug prices they should be competing in transportation and education and they should offer an alternative people should be able to get a public utility bank for example account and get out of the matrix of the big wall street banks they don't have that option they should have that option and therefore you would restore some competition in their economy. welcome back hundreds of people protested outside and italian appeals court this
10:18 am
week after two men were cleared of rape in part because the alleged victim was deemed not attractive enough to make her a target. to judges express various reasons for deciding to acquit to defendants but one was because they said they didn't even like her because she was ugly also wrote that a photograph reflected this. in two thousand and sixteen the two peruvian men were convicted of raping a woman in the italian city of an kona however they were later acquitted by an appeals court but the grounds for the ruling have only now been revealed the judges all female decided the defendants could not have been attracted to the alleged victim because she was said to be quote too masculine an appearance the woman also of peruvian origin was twenty years old at the time of the attack doctors said her injuries were consistent with rape and found traces of a date rape drug in her system the woman's lawyer said that she was forced to return to peru as she couldn't stand the burden of what had happened to her the
10:19 am
case will not be heard again at another court you know all there was much anger online about the latest ruling. i guess you need to worry the men never get free since they're all masculine anyway well done in italy i had no idea that moscow and women were not deserving of dignity this is what rape culture looks like judges in italy have ruled it can't be rape because the victim isn't pretty enough actress and model. believes the case demonstrates why many women don't report rape to the police this whole situation is this good and absolutely innocent of those you know least eight and he actually warsaw to make progress for women's rights and women see whishaw at the state police he gauge how much the war. so much more eighty percent don't pray but never even reporting or lease and direct the shot while he was shooting this. will be no stroke.
10:20 am
if they said the job and now they're actually not abusing it all and it was ok. the un has concluded that in order to protect the environment people need to eat less meat the report suggests attacks on red meat saying it will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make people rethink their diet choices. it's estimated that worldwide emissions taxes on foods could save around one gigaton of c o two and result in net health benefits at the global level due to reduced consumption of meat the report also states that space for livestock accounts for almost eighty percent of farmland in the world live stock industry is considered one of the main contributors to deforestation in the amazon we put the issue up for debate with social and environmental justice campaigner george partner and former republican
10:21 am
state senator john loudon. i think the important thing from my point of view is that as a point of principle the idea that we try in bring in the real well understood costs of meat eating to human health to the planet we bring that into the can on that calculation i think that clearly makes sense one thing a tax would do is as we know is make people more poor i mean we know that in the united states we typically except in most states not california that taxation is supposed to be about raising money to operate government change people's behavior if you're going to go down the road of taxing things to change behavior then we make enemies of our neighbors or people in america and europe there are billions of dollars of negative health impacts from from meat consumption but what we're talking about across the world is devastating impacts already to hundreds of millions of people from the climate change the meat eating drives enormously we
10:22 am
have all sorts of looming crises i mean this is absolutely demonstrably the case we're already seeing droughts floods typhoons flattening countries this idea that somehow it's manmade and that car. well flatulence is going to kill millions of people around the equator is just one of the most laughable things i've ever heard and it's really amusing to see people like you come on with such veracity it as if you've got your case prove it and you have to love this because otherwise you would have to take the new different scientific strands that demonstrate this seriously and what we're talking about is millions of lives already being hugely damage and impacted by the pollution caused by the meat industry you know we have the healthiest we have probably among the healthiest poor in the world here in the united states to lifestyle the poor here very well taken care of and and because we have the largest to care for them and by the way they eat a lot of meat in this country so it's hugely destructive to the health of the
10:23 am
united states i mean you wouldn't really struggle to find a single medical professional these days that wouldn't agree with the fact that we need to reduce we need to reduce consumption of meat and dairy to live happier and healthier that's our wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook to the many reports. the country has gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i think we got to hit the road and get out the traveling across america by what makes america take the show the genius to put the south american hero this is it we've come to a point in which alan would have done something we only star on the bridge or
10:24 am
something. else or something or. we're starting last with is going to head east. you just want to go into the belly of the beast and i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more ground on the earth we may be completely different but in this. this is is a sticker from the water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there are the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this ways to company has long promised to reuse the plastic. that's. a special projects funded.
10:25 am
on the. team but for now the mountains of waste only grow higher. they take it as because at that big comment about what you dog is staying in the game c.p.u. it gives it not think that one day is going to leave the j.c.b. you it but more figures for your god because you give free. to auditors to do even the board. time after time so you knew what you're going underground sixteen years to the days
10:26 am
really defense forces were involved in the killing of american activist rachel corrie coming up in the show. does shame strain. the exclusive an uncensored interview with one of the world's most popular living for a long. silver's. dissecting the major issues facing the planet today leave all remain durable why do republican or democrat coke or pepsi but first the consultant editor of the daily mail and your peers is here to keep us abreast of a chaotic week in the british breaks a crisis thanks for coming on you've been on british t.v. norm stop it seems at all hours of the day i think the issues are getting lost in this process of parliamentary chaos i think i've got lost with the issues to what is the issue now is the incompetence and chaos in ten downing street never before have i seen a prime minister humiliated by not one but four cabinet ministers who refused to support or normal circumstances they will be taken out and shot none of the five
10:27 am
because she has a little tricky not literally no but you would expect a prime minister to have hemorrhage that much support to have had a visit from the men in grey suits that we wanted to women of course in the age of equality to say here's the poll handed evolve a prime minister time to go but does that work anymore because of the i want to get to war going to present itself but of course in tatters time it was different the lady twenty two could be all of those things are off the table there aren't any pool handed revolvers there are actually because the low the tories have used up their one shot to the back benches had one chance to get rid of her you have one vote a year they did that in december and one hundred seventy without their support what can happen is cabinet ministers can withhold their support threatened to resign or mask and i have to tell you during this extraordinary week i have never known a week like and i've been working at the house of horrors on and off since one nine hundred eighty eight i couldn't find one m.p. who thinks to reason may has a long term survival rate in downing street the lady is on the way out even away
10:28 am
from college green opposite parliament there's a whole section of a kind of leftish bent who say we should be reforming the european union from the inside. what do you think this whole process is toward us about if we had tried to reform brussels of the european union from the inside instead of bricks it the some people are arguing that at the time that we should have tried to reform brussels from within look we've had successive prime ministers have been down that route ninety three. major people remember him it's beyond reform he has five unelected presidents joke it spending is out of control it's accounts and never written off they are never going to divest power back to mother parliament it is a rotten organization in the any piece they're half of their expenses they don't have to account for a single penny of it it's a rotten in my view and the way they have bullied britain shows we joined a club with the most vicious people running it well for all the alleged corruption
10:29 am
there remarkably unified of the twenty seven members against the british different conceptions and ideals and certainly in support for ireland they're united for one reason they're terrified of a country going to follow britain and lead the european union we are one of the biggest contributors and they're trying to say to the rest of your it's not easy to leave us the rules of this cover pretty tough the five presidents all men notice going to do everything in their power and they still are to try to keep britain in that's the game for them they want to drag this process out as long as possible because they cling to the hope they'll be a second referendum in britain and that would result in a different outcome i'm telling you it would know all of this process in parliament seems to be going the way of jeremy corbin's policy curiously reluctant to measure secor in the referendum which you just said is all the gods really do you think the overriding concern here is being not letting jeremy corbin in well most labor
10:30 am
backbenchers against the tories against the. i mean some people think if this whole thing collapses that there will be an early read general election there's a lot of labor m.p.'s trust me who don't want. general election because there is terrified as i am jeremy called in when the general election they don't trust him they think they'll be a flight of capital out of great britain they're right it's already started and of course it's informing a lot of the decisions but the old thing is always already in control i don't think he is i don't think he's in control the big humiliating defeat for the prime minister this week was to play down by a backbencher code yvette cooper who resigned from corbin's front bench never before have you seen how out of step the labor leadership is with these backbenchers you don't see these as the sinister triangulations of corbin's team chambers will the that your newspapers be operating i let me.
