5:10 pm
unfortunately it seems to be happening exactly as he wanted we see the whole all about terrorism is to turn one section of the community against another whether it's muslims or whether it's christians or anyone else it is about turn it people on themselves and the terrorists and i think most most countries these days do realize that there's a problem is not only with islamic terrorism it's with these right wing people is also we've got to be aware that the only way really to stop this is to catch people before they actually got their guns and you know we live in a difficult world and we live in a democratic society and if you if you have those freedoms of course people will make use of those freedoms as well and that's what we've seen in new zealand. a vigil is being held in new zealand following friday's attack other countries have also joined the morning with vigils held in canada the u.s. u.k.

and the vatican among others in solidarity with a nation for the suffered the worst terrorist attack in its history. u.s. special counsel robert mueller says that he's ready to report his preliminary findings on alleged collusion between russia and donald trump the u.s. president is branding the probe illegal so if there was knowingly and acknowledged to be zero crime when the special counsel was appointed and if the appointment was made based on the fate dossier paid for by crooked hillary then the special counsel should never have been appointed and there should be no moola reports this was an illegal in conflicts of the investigation in search of 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 fake dossier mentioned by
5:12 pm
trump is the infamous still report and the reporter who broke that news later said nothing in the dossier is verified the report was in directly funded by the us democratic party and drawn up by former british intelligence officer christopher steele the dossier claims of russia has compromising material on the us president. recently released testimony from a u.s. justice department official sheds new light on the state of dossier bruce or says he warned the f.b.i. that it was likely biased against the u.s. president on the scale of more pain as more. bruce sor he's the former associate attorney general and director of the federal organized crime drug enforcement task force his testimony related to the christopher steel dossier on trump is now in the focus of the media under review apparently is demoted d.o.j. official or big story in washington those allegations that russian officials have compromising information about donald trump tonight we're learning more about bruce
5:13 pm
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 application was your 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 don't trump i told them this is the information i had gotten from chris steele now that so lace has an 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 that trump not get elected i provided information to the f.b.i. when i thought christopher steele was as i said desperate that trump not be elected
5:14 pm
so yes of course i provided that to the f.b.i. now at least some in the justice department were actually suspicious of steel 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 another viewer a contact point or number who is briefed a million francs 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 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
5:15 pm
collusion it seems that congress has finally found some but it wasn't between trump and russia a little op and r.t. new york. and the scene reminiscent of the viral video game angry protesters have launched hundreds of pigs at ukraine's presidential administration building demonstrators demands president poroshenko is close business associates whose surname sounds like the ukrainian woodfull pig job for corruption despite poroshenko launching a corruption probe denies disabled than ten thousand people took part in the rallies although authorities insist it was only one fifth of the protests were arranged by an opposition party and the presidential elections coming up later this month. now have been protests in an italian city after two convictions were quashed love story in a few minutes. it's

up to the government to step in and be a player in the economy not just an enabler. 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 the economy.

hundreds of people protested outside an italian appeals court this week after two men were cleared of rape in part because the alleged victim was they not attractive enough to have been a target. to judges express various reasons for deciding to acquitted defendants but one was because they said they didn't even like her because she was ugly they 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 ancona however they were later acquitted by an appeals court but the grounds for that ruling of only just been revealed and the judges all female decided the defendants could not have been attracted to the
5:18 pm
alleged victim because she was said to be too masculine in appearance. the woman also of peruvian origin who was only twenty years old at the time of the alleged attack doctors said that her injuries were consistent with rape and they found traces of a date rape drug in her blood the woman's lawyer said she was forced to return to peru and she couldn't stand the burden of what had happened to her the case will now be heard again in another court and there was much anger online about the latest ruling. i guess in italy the men never get free since they're all masculine in theory anyway while down in italy i had no idea that masculine 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 a model you know believes that the case demonstrates why many women don't report right to the police this whole situation is. absolutely

a fresh independence vote. and your report by the u.n. says in order to protect the environment people need to eat less meat and it suggests a tax on red meat saying that that would reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make people rethink their diets 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 they report states space for livestock accounts for almost eighty percent of global farmland livestock industries considered one of the main contributors to the forestation of the amazon so we put the issue up for debate with social and environmental justice campaigner george barda former republican state senator john loud. i think the important thing from my point of view is that as a point of principle who the idea that we try in bring in the real well understood
5:21 pm
costs of meat eating to human health to the planet we bring that into the moment 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 not 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 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 have all sorts of looming crises i mean this is absolutely demonstrably the case we've already seen droughts floods typhoons flattening countries this idea that
5:22 pm
somehow it's manmade and that col 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 and as if you've got your case prove it and you have to laugh at 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 the lifestyle the poor here very well taken care of 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 distro. active to the health of the united states i mean it's you would really struggle to find a single medical professional these days that wouldn't agree with the fact that we
5:23 pm

new tools to build a new system. is this is a stick from the old water bottle phone in the stomach of a fish the brand is spawns 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 the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. that seems cool sets their plastic christic a close ally and i need to stay on your own that special projects funded me tell the difference i'm. on i'm your best bet is the end of it for the team the fun now the mountains of waste only grow.
