back to really we're. going to try again this brain. injury. forced to apologize on one of the. top posts. to russian oligarchs admitting the so-called rigorous verification standards of the outlets were not here to. environmental activists rally against the nestle's plans to draw over 3 and a half 1000000 liters of water from florida's santa fe river every day saying threaten the area's biodiversity. the lack of diversity sees the european web developers conference cancelled over a guest list with females to debate whether the industry's struggling to keep up with the times. it's very unlikely in the real world that that somebody would just

not want somebody to speak on the grounds of the agenda i'm sorry to say it does happen i'm glad to say it's not absolutely widespread. live from moscow what's your r.t. international daniel hawkins here with you tonight's welcome to the program. and emerson we see host has been forced into a fake news apology after a bombshell report on trump and his ties to russia it was claimed the us president had russian oligarchs cosign loans for him with. the story though backfired when it appeared the source hadn't checked the facts as the details. in news the loudest the most since the most explosive is often the winner media is a ratings driven economy and this week m.s.n. b c opted for nuclear reporting and this single source close to dirge america has

told me. that the trump doll trumps longer arguments there show. that he has cosigners that's how he was able to obtain those loans and that the cosigners are russian oligarchs of that time lawrence o'donnell the host seem to have little doubt in the news he broke that would explain it seems to me every kind word donald trump has ever said about russia and vladimir putin but then came the fallout and just like the reports all wood was nuclear indeed and it came back to haunt us and we see these statements are false and defamatory and extremely damaging. can easily be proven based on your reckless disregard of the truth and the unreasonable reliance on an alleged boss he will not even identify in your story and is likely seeking to mislead you and the public for political reasons or other all teary motives the channel was at a crossroads they stick to your guns and fight

a potential $1000000.00 lawsuit in court or own up to the mistake and apparently this time the source wasn't solid enough to risk financial and reputational damage . tonight we are retracting the story we don't know whether the information is inaccurate but the fact is we do know it wasn't ready for broadcast and for that i apologize or don't know left his foot in the door he still said he didn't know if the story was 100 percent falls but since the story didn't go through the rigorous verification and standards process it was unfit for the year and by the way if we take trump's lawyers word for it a google search would have passed for rigorous to show the story was untrue it seems emerson b.c.'s very few proses isn't exactly bulletproof news fire wall in the 1st place or a very short defense russia can just shut off the electricity they have that

ability now and it is like negative 50 degrees in the dakotas right now what would happen if russia killed the power in fargo today and intelligence officials now believe with a high level of confidence that russian president vladimir putin was personally involved in a covert effort to interfere in america's presidential race the only thing we do know is that putin's enemies have a way of turning up dead and that evidence has a way of being meticulously covered up. 3 years after a majority of brits voted to leave the e.u. and with politics still paolo's than suffering from a severe crisis of legitimacy boris johnson has decided to shut it down the radical move means that after the suspension takes effect lawmakers will not reconvene until 2 weeks before the bricks at the line that leaves them very little time to pass legislation to prevent and no deal departure sounds good sailor reports. boris johnson is being well boris he's being bold as brass and he wants brock said come

what may rather tell you what you do when parliament won't play ball you suspend it he needed how much permission to do that which he thought were not going to. weeks into october the 31st before getting on with our plans to take this country forward we're going to have a queen's speech and we're going to do it all october 14th and we've got to move ahead with a new program but why don't the lawmakers a quick refresher if you've been avoiding the news because you just can't take the b. word anymore for number 10 talent to resume a husqvarna getting away from it all hiking in the swiss alps spent 3 years trying to deliver products that are to the referendum something we are definitely clear of bricks it means bricks it bricks it needs rex it wrecks it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it but parliament had other ideas apache shouting had out even might

have heard a key point had her reaching for her water when she found that brussels wasn't very happy about how to bit to old blighty and wouldn't budge on key points like the irish backstop to maintain a seamless border on the emerald isle they managed to thrash out a deal though and may tried 3 times to push it through parliament no luck so she shared a tear and left i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. and to boris johnson. and leave can't think it had johnson promised to take the u.k. out of the european union by how do we deal. and that's really riled so where are we now while just 2 months from being a day and with parliament due to be suspended before it's even got going and only

have 2 weeks to try to block a no deal bracks said everyone's crying foul saying it's a constitutional crisis others though have just had enough he's gone on for so long now we just need to get on with it. it's just causing more trouble. parliament is being bypassed. not democratic it's a catastrophe so anybody who tried to bring it in would be. a well the people voted for i think it's a constitutional outrage he wants to see. you know when. he'll blame any problems on others and he will be patted on the back for delivering and win an election that's what he sees boris johnson should do everything he can. to get back if you can't get it through he's out although wary cynics point out that what's really on democratic m.p.'s in westminster spending 3 years and piles of

taxpayers' money by declaring over to leg breck said ok perhaps it was a little wrong to disrupt the queen's summer holiday in scotland and maybe suspending parliament was quite drastic for what's supposed to be a parliamentary democracy that's apparently taking back control but then this is boris johnson who's never been one for the convention and it has been 3 years already just about every hour for new explored every negotiation tactic used every amendment consider it so maybe just maybe it's going to get his way and bulldoze britain away from brussels. r.t. . in other headlines environmental activists have reacted with anger offer to merge that mislay seeking permission to extract millions of liters of water every day from springs in florida santa fe river spotted a push by the food and beverage company to increase water production the river runs

through the north of the state and is rich in biodiversity among the animal species that live for instance 15 different breeds of turtles its ecosystem is already considered to be at risk due to years of overpumping. indigenous communities in neighboring canada have also been complaining of nestle's activity saying they've been losing access to clean water ever what's the petition calling on their government to stop anything the exploitation of the local rivers we asked nestlé for a comment we've not yet had a response the company does maintain no that its always had had to all relevant regulatory standards and seeks to ensure the protection and preservation of the rivers it draws water from we lost the riverkeeper john cotton on what he thinks of nestle's latest plant i think that sanitary river already has problems too little water last thing it is nestle drawing more water out and selling it back to us and plastic bottles that people will then have to clean up on the rivers and springs

and have it right near this nestle public water they suck up water now. our springs really hard to rebuild so those on their roofs madison county that's on the with the river which is in our basin they paid if i recall correctly the grandson of $128.00 a few decades ago that's all that. they get a huge amount of water and they did it in bottles like this were to people through early on the river so in addition to the pollution it's also causing the local to go right now. because we need that water or drinking for agriculture or industry we don't really need it to be making profit sure this was company for something that nobody actually needs. we had to think of the tech industry as being

at the forefront of tomorrow's world and also leading the way in quality and diversity among staff seems they want to european web developers conference in germany didn't get that memo despite promising the rich and diverse lineup it's cancel look there was a vent after a number of delegates objected that no women speakers were taking part in this year's conference seems to have gone with the white males only conference lineup shame is 2019 we can do better there were numerous speakers with 2 sessions myself included that works up in the session but no women at all i'm not comfortable that all the organizers have said only one female submitted a session proposal critics though say that those behind the event should have reached out to more women we asked our guests for their thoughts on the controversy . the fact is that women are still half the population i think were just marginally over the half and the people organizing it seem to be

a group of men it was their duty. their requirement to ensure that they had a wide range of people to speak about the issues that they wanted to debate when you want to be diverse you know on some occasions will be more willing speakers on some occasions with more bad speakers but it is also the also the child to say if you are going to have people in and effectively racially or sexually profile i just say we're not interested what your speech is good debate we're not interested your level of talent we're not interested in the relevancy all we're interested in is the color of your skin or your gender that is a joke the point is not about qualifications the point is about a culture which i'm sorry to say you seem to represent which is which is about accusing women of daring to be in your workplaces that would be a further comment if the women had applied local who got pushed out what all the

applied there was basically no candidates now how old earth is that the fault of men it's very unlikely in the real world. that somebody would just not want somebody to speak on the grounds of their gender i don't think that's very realistic i don't think that's something that's really going to happen i don't just don't think it's it's factually accurate it does happen i'm sorry to say i don't i'm sorry to say it does happen i'm glad to say it's not absolutely widespread but you may be in your little. haven in which everything is right and rosy but for lots of women though lots of ways in which women are excluded however competent they are i'm sorry that still happening i wish it wasn't but unless it's get spoken about i don't think much will change it was hard and fast we're back in just a few moments time with the latest global news updates.

you know world's big partisan movie. 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 smart 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 class is protect themselves. in the final merry go round

be the one percent. we can all middle of the room. welcome back to the program the daily caller new site has revealed that a number of us democratic presidential hopefuls have been taking donations from hedge fund managers with a stake in puerto rico's soaring debt at the spot the fact that those same candidates have made repeated attacks on donald trump for failing to address the island territories desperate economic situation. team beat.

you you're going to. live. puerto rico is just like the rest of the united states except it isn't and if their votes don't count in the final election why should presidential candidates care. 20 candidates 5 moderates says 2 debates and only one mention of puerto rico in a democratic debate that took place in florida home of 1200000 puerto rican and these are the progressives show was your p.r. policy when it comes to going after donald trump anything goes even the all but

forgotten puerto rico democrats certainly did speak up when trying snubbed puerto rico didn't sign a disaster relief bill at the 1st. he's shameful the way we're treated puerto rico when the islands i'm not even sure people in the president's administration knew poor 3 khans are all citizens if we're talking about territories let's make sure the people of d.c. actually get senators let's make sure the people of puerto rico are actually treated like fellow u.s. citizens that they are and let's make sure that we have some handle on the financial future of this country very honorable of them but what is not honorable is cashing in on puerto rico's difficulties and big hedge fund managers have been lending lots of money to puerto rico money the government cannot pay back and those very same hedge funds are now funding the democrats joe biden has gotten roughly $25000.00 from hedge funds like oak tree capital black rock and to comic capital and he's not alone a coalition of puerto rican activists is calling for the democrats to give that

money back these hedge funds have pushed a program over stary team privatization in order to secure deputy mintz in that in many cases could not be paid by the puerto rican government the lives of countless puerto ricans have been destroyed as a result create a ricans will be denied a better future if hedge funds are allowed to continue to profit from austerity and privatisations on the island you can either stand with the people of puerto rico or with the hedge funds that have harmed puerto rico you can't do both but so far only bernie sanders and elizabeth warren have returned their donations these democrats did not pay. any attention to puerto rican issues intil they had an opportunity to criticize the president and isn't that ironic isn't that so hypocritical that it wasn't until they had an opportunity to find a criticism with president trump that they found puerto rico even an issue for them

they should have been addressing this the entire time if this was important to them the only reason it's important now is because they found a way to criticize donald trump these hedge fund do nations are the core of hypocritical the fact that these democrats can sit back take these donations where people are profiting off of the economic problems in puerto rico and then at the same time say that they're concerned about this country is one of the worst things that i've seen i think when these democrats accept donations they don't check and i think they check only when it's convenient for them and they want to look at donald trump's campaign donations but they don't want to look at themselves and they don't want to look at the fact that they are taking donations off of the very thing that they say that they're against so far hedge funds making money off of puerto rico's debt crisis have donated roughly $230900.00 to democrats who are running in the 2020 alexion imagine what that kind of money could do for the people of puerto rico

. are to see new york. you're straight and government says it's going to set up an intelligence taskforce to investigate perceived foreign interference in its universities the country's education minister has sought to the growing vulnerability of australian institutions in the face of adversity. according to the lightest advice from the australian charge of security center the targeting of a strain universities continues to increase state sponsored cyber adverse reason may use university networks as infrastructure due to their reliability and high and very traffic. to hide in the noise the federal government is working with the university sector to develop based practice guidelines for dealing with foreign interference although no particular state has been named directly the thing is now being pointed at chinese students who account for close to a 3rd of all foreign students in australia last month the university of queensland

saw tensions between supporters of the hong kong protests and those in favor of beijing in other cases some teaching materials have sparked outrage among chinese students and the scribe but china and taiwan as 2 separate states of you strongly of course the post by beijing and chinese foreign ministry has denied any involvement in australian politics schooling notion extremely irresponsible. china's so-called infiltration of australia and other similar claims are totally fabricated and underpinned by ulterior motives politicizing education and co-operation an artificially create an obstacle is not good for either side. let's go live now to dr fox and while we're seeing a lecturer at the department of politics languages and international studies at bath university thanks for joining us dr good to have you on the program today lots of accusations obviously we're hearing against china it's alleged maligning activities influence through this government interference what's behind these

latest ones coming from australia and what's behind the timing of these accusations . well i think there are 2 angles to look into it in the 1st grade i think it coincides coincide with the. movement the interest of the movement in hong kong. i think these has to do with the larger us and australia lines. china in regards or more schooling on bringing in about the movement in hong kong and also all connection with taiwan and also with the train war sold these the having to do with a larger. plan and arrangement of the containment of china which involves not just united states but also with australia in other asia pacific partners explicitly in the in the pacific region number tool i think it has also to do with the domestic or ticks in australia in which australia has been increasing the alluded to

the precedence all of chinese and also the increasing influence of china within australia and i think these has to do. investigative. panel led by the former prime yota involved in regards of china into treatment of in the australian government so i think disease basically is a continuation and then escalation or walk has happened and what has been happening since 2017 just in terms of what's going on in hong kong and indeed in taiwan as well these are both things that draw quite passionate opinions on both sides they've been divisive vents why do you think there's options being made that there's some sort of external influence or pressure by beijing here instead of saying some students support one side others hold different beliefs. well i think

they're increasing evidence suggesting that. there are you aware as origin of the funding supporting protestant activities. this time but all saw last time date back in 2014 and. there are increasing evidence suggesting that the. protesting organization are being supported by funding we each are. funded by proxies of the united states in eve if this is and going to be a kind of larger ring true mind all of these divisions political divisions in hong kong and i think the whole the whole containment planned involved not just hong kong but also all taiwan and australia will be part of the larger print off that and i think all these things come to go to naught in. this country not.

coal incidental. i just want to ask you how this is going to affect the shootings were as we heard there are a 3rd of foreign students in australia nearly a 3rd are from china do you think the interaction of this task force and these accusations can see the whole thing backfired chinese students opting to study elsewhere for example i mean how is this going to affect australian universe things at the chinese that spread australia. what i think. i will see the. these task force is not just schooling to our friend the overseas chinese students in the australian 10 business but we will go into. a fact the intellectual and scientific collaboration between chinese and australian universities afros and i believe these task force is also going to investigate and where do the chinese interference work being pray all through such is the tutor

gnostic confucius is a to use. and also all of the chinese influence would also be pray all through our scientific collaboration pull them such as some of the course is it you should know their research and also education nor languages now all these lingers and corrupt regimes us where these 2 offers a student overseas chinese student population will be pairs arise by the. intelligence tassels and office the going to have certain kinds of repercussions among the soon body but also. some of the chinese university in china and also australian scientists they will pull back down from putting forth collaboration just in order to avoid being suspected or supporting any kind of

china related in the variance or even to speak. on occasions yeah so it seems up barriers are being built here all of them broken down interesting to see how that pans out dr pollack senior lecturer the department of politics languages and international studies university of ball thanks for your time today to get. back in 30 minutes with the latest global news headlines. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only move really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very

critical time to sit down and talk. said she stressed to us take this or that the british and the bill a budget that it will bust to. stop question was to you she's the face to she's a c.e.o. which cost a lot. which she doesn't know which of the interstates future economy or ship. or to go to the source of your my it's your bonus for should be you. it's a mistake it's a word supporter until with some sort of spirit or with this interview what you believe he's to take it's a student actually the person the personal cost of the phone call or should stop

them spinning. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and should. somehow want to. have to go right to the press it's like the full story of the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the wives in the. first city. ratings and sell you taste. drugs drugs and more drugs you know next to the selling of credit and the selling of arms there is nothing that we love to sell more here

in the united states of america and drugs we sell drugs to everyone or for any and every malady heck we'll even create a brand new malady just to invent a new drug to sell to cure it. but hog watchers it appears that in the wake of the opioid epidemic in the millions of lives that has ruined and destroyed big farmers world full of wall street all night dance party may finally be coming to an end not only did we see a judge in the state of oklahoma rule in the 1st of its kind lawsuit that johnson and johnson was paid the state over 500000000 for intentionally downplaying the dangers and over selling the benefits of opioids but now we've got word that the sackler family of purdue pharma many consider the tony montana's of the opioid epidemic bringing us the joys of oxy contin back in 1996 they they may be next on the chopping block the new york times is now reporting that as part of a possible settlement to resolve thousands of federal and state law suits.
