10 minutes to spare that's how close the u.s. came to a direct military confrontation with iran president trump says he cancelled a strike on the islamic republic just moments before it was due to be launched. said i want to know something before you go how many people will be killed came back said sure approximately 150 and i didn't like it. all for this hour an f.b.i. agent accidentally revealed his social media post remoting anti russian conspiracy theories during an investigation into a synagogue shooting. and a lesson in life student claims he was booted out of class for arguing there are only 2 genders. are you what you think i knew what. he thinks i do it for you if

you want to see a clear very clear discrimination if you can discrimination action pushing for true gender. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h q in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. donald trump says he called off a strike against iran with just 10 minutes to spare the attack was meant to be in retaliation for tehran downing a us military rail and strode over the gulf region the strait of hormuz. they came in they said sure we're ready to go we'd like a decision i said i want to know something before you go how many people will be killed. in this case arena and they said came back said sure approximately 150 and i thought about it for a 2nd i said you know what they shot down a man. and. drone and here we are busy sitting with 150 dead

people and i didn't like it that cancelled strike is the closest the u.s. has been to a direct confrontation with terror and iran said the u.s. drone it had shot down earlier had flown into its airspace washington says it was operating over international waters this month the u.s. also blamed tehran for attacking 2 oil tankers in the strait of hormuz iran denied the accusations claiming washington states the attack a year after the u.s. quit the 2015 nuclear deal it sent carriers and warplanes to the persian gulf and also imposed crippling sanctions on iran and ended waivers that import iranian oil during his campaign donald trump said another war in the middle east would be a mistake but he assembled a team of people who are known to favor regime change in the room in fact his cabinet appears packed with people who contradict the president's views and explains. so trump has decided not to bomb iran for now he says it's for

humanitarian concerns however national security adviser john bolton does not share trump's concerns apparently for protecting human lives in fact john bolton has been itching to attack iran for a year or so you want to be must be made aware there will be tangible and painful consequences the attack i think required to stop this regime from getting nuclear weapons policy of the united states of america should be the overthrow of the mullahs regime in tehran before 29 t. we hear those celebrating in tehran it seems a bit strange that donald trump who campaigned on a platform of not wanting new wars and has reiterated that during his presidency would then go higher john bolton however bolton seems to fit an interesting pattern when it comes to trump appointees articulate one position very clearly and then he hires someone with a completely different stance for example trump seems to be wildly critical of

china we can't continue to allow china to rape our country however trump's secretary of transportation is elaine chao now elaine chao has more than close family ties to the chinese government she and her husband senator mitch mcconnell have reportedly received millions of dollars worth of gifts from family ties now trump has wildly attacked the banking sector and he's promised to drain the swamp but when it came time to fill those financial posts many of the appointees were former exacts at the financial giant goldman sachs trouble also likes to attack drug companies like to bring a federal lawsuit against those companies a very very firm. because what's happening with drugs in this country and throughout the world but in our country it's a disgrace and we can stop it it has become a major crisis with the country facing an epidemic of opioids so who does donald trump of point to. his drug price control regulator well trump's health and human

services secretary is alex azhar he is a former big pharma president who actually set some of the prices that donald trump slammed now trump has also be mown the military industrial complex and its influence on foreign policy you do have a military industrial complex they do like war you know in syria with the caliphate so i wipe out 100 percent of the caliphate i shall want to bring the troops back home to place one crazy they want to keep them you have people here in wa she want to they never want to leave some day people will explain what this is and if you will do have you do have a coupe and they call it the military industrial complex trucks 1st secretary of defense was a former boeing executive then replaced him with somebody who used to work at raytheon when trump speaks up on twitter about crucial issues facing america it seems like he doesn't seem to notice that some of the people he's appointed to solve america's problems are those who created them in the 1st place caleb oppen

artsy new york political commentator lou rockwell thinks trump should get rid of war mongers in his cabinet if he wants to avert a tragedy. and those cities in and around the country that's already present with starving because of american sanctions and shutting down on free and really strangling them economically and also medicine as well as a terrible terrible thing that probably many many people have died in iraq we probably will never know that number but it's on the conscience of the people who put these sanctions employees which include of course right of the president trump so he's if you want these things not to be on his conscience not to be there as a mass murderer you should get rid of these people and stop a war mongering. an f.b.i. agent has accidentally revealed his own social media posts promoting anti russian conspiracy theories that happened during his investigation into

a synagogue shooting in california and all the details here. oh the unbounded online world with all of its shady hidden corners you never know what you may stumble upon think of a synagogue shooting tragedy and an f.b.i. agent spreading anti russian conspiracies as parts of one single story weird one 0 well here's the story a couple of months ago a young man opened fire in a california synagogue killing one and one being 3 sheriff says police were reviewing an open letter he posted on line on the last day of passover bloodshed in the middle of shabat services the complaint alleges that ernest took one life and injured 3 other people including a child the f.b.i. put special agent michael j. rod on a mission to dig into the crime eventually the application for a search warrant against the shooter was published online there were screenshots

from an online platform called a chan known as an ultra right community the shooter was an. active user and even reportedly posted a pre attack warning there hey wait special agent brought didn't just observe it turned out he actively posted on a chan presumably for the sake of the investigation mr rodd screenshots revealed his platform id and a bit of flicking through the web archives revealed to the f.b.i. man wrote way more stuff than seen in the screenshots a lot of these posts look like they were from some of the staunchest russia hating conspiracists i believe that the shooter did post on here but there's also more i've been here all day there are at least 2 others that are posting in a bot shill like fashion to promote this this thread would never have made the 1st page where i found it this morning think there is outside involvement likely

russian this was posted by one of the shills that knew of the shooting prior notice a screen shot is that 20100 that correlates with ukraine and western russia if you do the math when someone trolled the user that appeared to be f.b.i. agent rod the reply was no not must not stop attacking the board and slighting this thread sloppy job puton. or there you have another exchange. it's balls let putin know your psyop worked but you did up with your english i presume you were chosen because you said you could talk speak and type like american this makes you wonder is this the new guideline at the f.b.i. get supremacy to store any other folks the agents are after to buy your russian bots are everywhere rant on laws and you'll get to the bottom of anything when you

have the the political leaders or the directors at the top who designate a priority then in order to get a promotion in order to really climb the ladder if you want to become a boss or a special agent in charge you are going to have to fall in line with those priorities unfortunately any time they have a priority they put so much emphasis on that priority date it often leads to abuse it's because they put so much emphasis in priority on organized crime so it it doesn't matter what the priority as they essentially kind of lose their ability to be more balanced in more critical thinking and they go with that priority and it just was a needle that flip flops and it actually often causes mistakes in abuses when they do that we've asked the f.b.i. to comment on the story although so far we have not received a reply. i thought continual scottish student claims he was kicked out of class

after arguing that there are only 2 genders he secretly filmed being told off by a teacher. i am stating what is a national school of thought of policy ok not every policy is scientific muddy and you can come out here and say that i'm not being inclusive so much that i didn't see research i said what you just seeing you as not being inclusive of all costs so you know what you think and i know what that authority thinks i know what the authorities point if you want to say anything clear very clear that we make no discrimination on the grounds of videos like in discrimination i'm simply saying there are 2 genders male and female and if i also as a personal identification i'm saudi but you chose to make an issue of making a point which is contrary to policy. the local authority says the video does not show the full context of the exchange aberdeenshire council added that it wants good relations between different groups and schools and an inclusive and vironment

for all it is important to understand the context of any video clip taken without a person's consent in our schools fostering good relations among different groups can be a real challenge but our aim is to support a fairer inclusive environment for all. we put that issue up for debate. i think from what we've seen obviously the people was was fairly challenging but i think it's within the bounds of reasonable debate and i think the teachers are actually quite stern and dismissive and maybe there is more to the exchange than was in the video but i think it's healthy and right that peoples and teachers should have a robust exchange of views think it is wrong and disruptive to video a private discussion between the pupil and the teacher that is deeply unfair to the teacher and it is deeply destructive i think the teacher was wrong to throw the boy out of the class and i think the boy was wrong to video the exchange however it is

a fact that there are basically 2 genders are these morally wrong that anybody who says that should have any trouble from any public call for it say in the united kingdom or elsewhere where there are 2 genders male and female but there are people who have variations of both server example intersex people have a combination of both male and female chromosomes hormones and genitalia so it isn't strictly true that there are only male and female i'm not concerned about the science of brain gender or anything like that i simply say if you wish to transition from a man to a woman you own your body you have the right to do it but actually there is an issue of rights here if the teacher is right then what do you suggest to gays that the policy of the council is that you cannot say that there are only 2 genders and if you say that that is something that should be confined to the home absolutely

this is a free speech issue peoples have a right to free speech that pupil whether you agree with him or not has a right to freedom of expression and that where he's the right he was exercising in that school class should be a place where ideas are expressed with a challenge where there. the future is critiqued supported amplified that's what a good school is a good school is a place where ideas are contested. phobic provocation that's how moscow has slammed 2 days of large scale demonstrations in the georgian capital 240 people have been injured including 80 police officers all more than 300 have been detained russia when are banned after flights between the countries next month. what happened in georgia yesterday is nothing but a rusa phobic provocation the decision to suspend air service as explained by extremist and the russian threats in georgia they might be directed against our tourists we cannot seem different when anything threatens the lives of our citizens

the demonstrations 1st broke out on thursday evening after russian m.p.'s or dig of a deal of was invited to open an interpol mentary assembly in the parliament to promote orthodox christianity the head of the assembly has also called the protests a provocation by nationalists and radicals during the session the russian m.p.'s sat in the speaker's chair that instant sparked outrage from the opposition and the georgian people but governor bill of claims he had the right to take his seat there as he was invited by the georgian side to do so. but my only see as a president of the assembly i have the right to take this seat in any country where the assembly session is held in this case the place was offered by the georgian side the session was invaded by radicals who shouted threats to our lives we tried to continue but more radical activists showed up with cameras and posters with anti russian and insulting slogans we decided to finish the session in the hotel nearby radicals tried to storm the hotel they attacked members of parliament including me

when we tried to leave i believe all of this is the races styria in the wake of protests to take power. the speaker of the georgian parliament has resigned following the mass protests that already as have called on the demonstrators to refrain from illegal acts protesters are now demanding the interior minister resigned over his handling of the situation as well he says he's ready to do so if needed but demanded the protests stop at the same time the georgian president has pointed the finger at russia over the incident saying the protests benefit nobody but the kremlin but here sergei governable of again who believes this accusation is simply wrong because the basic occasion georgia is one of the largest trade partners of russia look at georgians work in russia russia would not want the russian protests into parliament assembly of orthodoxy was used as it's a big international forum with a lot of international guests from europe asia and africa making it so much easier to attract attention i believe all of this is the races styria in the wake of

protests to take power so that the u.s. congresswoman ignited a firestorm after comparing detention centers for migrants to non-state concentration camps story and more after this short break. you know world a big part of the 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 bats 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race in this spearing dramatic development the only relief i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. welcome back a u.s. congresswoman has received a barrage of criticism after comparing detention centers for undocumented immigrants on the mexican border to nazi concentration camps but alexandra a cousin of course has refusing to back down. the united states is running

concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly why they are there concentration camps people across the us political spectrum slams the comparison holocaust remembrance groups say she needs to educate herself on the issue and one pole champagne even invited the congresswoman to his country to see real concentration camps and formally inviting alexandria castro cortez to come to parliament where i don't hitler sets up the worst chain of concentration camps the world has ever seen so that she may see the scoring political points with inflamed rhetoric is unacceptable in our contemporary western societies and to take something that happened in history where millions of jews have died and equated to something that's happening on the border she owes this nation an apology a o c concentration camps assured slave labor supply to help in the nazi war effort even as to protect the of the life inside the camps have to sure the ultimate goal of

extermination through labor learn about concentration camps. although she faced a wave of angry comments in addition to those she isn't the only one to use the histories darkest moments to argue a political point. it is estimated that 6000000 jewish people were murdered in german concentration camps during world war 2 by comparison more than 50000000 babies have been aborted in the united states since 973. i'd like to see the president and the congress invest tens of billions in ruble energy i would point to the fact that it took roosevelt many many years to get america willing to go into world war 2 and fight the nazis or we have an enemy though

different but perhaps very much devastating in a similar way to get. even as a share of carbon dioxide it's just like the demonization of the poor jews under hitler government is actually a benefit to the world and for where the truth is. donald trump you are the president and all citizens of this country you must not inflame the hatred of some at the violent expense of others we've seen jews subjected to persecution. look as important as. when she said concentration and she knew that everybody would be thinking about it she knew were what she was saying how explosive. it is but she's an attention seeker. she knows how to play the media and she knew perfectly well that when she brought up the topic of concentration camps she would be on television everyone would be

talking about a c.n.n. interview that. was even more. cortez's the original comment because that featured. a wry it was a african american political activist. named him which shouted explicitly said well we have concentration camps and then we're going to have the death camps or a holocaust and it is just something you use as a root a rhetorical trick in order to try to beat people in the political. russian president vladimir putin has laid a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier in moscow as russia marks the day of memory and sorrow the annual ceremony commemorates the russian warrior who fought against nazi germany it's attended by war veterans and senior russian politicians

78 years ago on the 22nd of june not the forces invaded the soviet union the remains of the unknown soldier were transferred from a common grave near moscow and buried in a ceremony in the alexander gardens in 1966. authorities in riviera beach in the u.s. state of florida are counting the cost of outdated anti-virus software that's after the city was locked out of its own computer systems and the ransomware attack. i will reject his cyber hackers to cyber attack a massive onslaught of cyber attacks gaining access they're recovering from a cyber and.

the hackers and the people doing these kind of things are upping the game it's a shame because what's going to happen is this is money that belongs to these cities that they have a lot of other things they should be spending the funds on now they have to give this money to these hackers and then of course once they do it once with the keep hackers from coming back again and doing it again it's not that hard to up to prevent this but unfortunately a lot of individuals and governments and even businesses and whatnot they just are either not aware of the security requirements or they just don't have the latest software to take care of this you know these particular these county governments are a lot of very good people and a lot of them are not technically literate you know and many of them are quite

frankly they're just playing with they're using old equipment that's out of date that still has phone or abilities that can be exploited. that's all the news update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our website r.t. dot com for the details on all of those stories and many more. when i often say that you see any empty car we should not forget that if you could interest. to transport the cars to boost used to mean of transport if you could that carpooling or what we do is actually very very tiny today so the biggest expansion for us not in the next year but in the next 510 years is how do we build a better product with more trials and more safety and maybe a better economy contract between the best of the driver to convince more drivers to show they called more passengers for citizens who.

join me every day on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see of n. o y a paradise with some around turned into a round experimentation field for agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people where one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to

ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. thanks guys or financial survival guys. when customers go by to reduce the price. in elf well reducible our. best undercutting but what's good for market is not good for the global economy. i. have to say. merican in america covering american news are called foreign agents

saw last week prosecutors stunned the city of flint michigan by dropping all charges against officials accused of ruining the community's drinking water they claim they're doing this in order to extend the investigation and charge more people yeah you know all those times you've heard of investigators dropping all charges on a case just so they can really do a good job next time around. i give us a nickel for every time. i would go with $0.35. anyway it's been 5 years the water in full it is still tainted despite claims to the contrary and no one has been prosecuted for it but it's not just clinched excessive lead levels have been found in almost 2000 water systems across all 50 states so there's something nationwide going on here and it has to do with how we view the common good or water systems used to benefit everyone right whether you're you're rich or

poor or sexy ugly didn't matter it used to be a turn on the faucet and get nice clean water our country used to care about the common good unless you were indigenous or black or something but to some degree we used to care for the common good but now water systems around the nation are collapsing and poisoning people how about public drinking fountains you seen one of those recently there spiders living on this fire in the bounds yet receipt of a repairman fixing a public water fountain no of course not. that's because the common good doesn't matter to us anymore and letting water fountains died just means that nestle and co can sell more bottles of water and the wealthy who generally have much more political power they don't care because they can afford a 1000000 bottles of water every year their dogs only drink bottled water right there their plants only drink coke and water which might come as cannibalism but

our corporate media isn't going to lament the death of the common good either with the exception of a rare article like this once public drinking fountains are disappearing and that's a bad thing what about public transportation the new york city's subway system looks like the lower intestine of a 68 chevy. the washington d.c. metro catches fire once a week and their slogan is i'm not kidding back to good faith wow way to set the bar really high v c what was that slogan meeting like. here are the final options folks d.c. metro back to. d.c. mad show left the. d.c. metro police you know live in detroit. finally d.c. metro only rarely.
