want somebody to speak on the grounds that i'm sorry to say it does happen i'm glad to say it's not absolutely widespread. a very warm welcome you're watching r.t. international with minichiello. startup story on m.s.n. b c host has been forced into a fake news apology after a bombshell report on donald trump and his ties to russia it was claimed the us president had russian oligarchs coastline loans for him with torture bank but the story backfired but it appeared that these saws hardened checks the facts of reports. 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
4:02 pm
a generic 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 m s n b c these statements are false and defamatory and extremely damaging . can easily be proven based on your reckless disregard of the truth and unreasonable reliance on an alleged boss he will not even identify a news 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 fools but since the story didn't go through the rigorous verification and standards process it was unfit for the it and by the way if we take trump's louis word for it a google search would have cost for rigorous to show the story was untrue it seems amazon b.c.'s very few cation proses isn't exactly a bulletproof news follow will in the 1st place or
4:04 pm
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 when you have a public figure in this particular case donald trump the president who is suing he has to show that the alleged defamatory statement was the product of actual malice either that the individuals knew it was wrong or they use it here's a word reckless disregard for the facts they are at their ratings basement there are baby monitors that have higher ratings than this they don't care
4:05 pm
and you soon as they're done with this lie they'll go to the next slide because they can drive as fast as they want through the street called mendacity and this not even journalist. it's not even remotely that it's i can say what i want and if it's rome ok war give a little bit of an apple logic and move on not even a slap on the wrist nothing. 3 years after a majority of brits voted to leave the e.u. and with parliament still paralyzed and suffering from a severe crisis of legitimacy for a start and how to cite it to shut it down the radical move means that after the suspension takes effect lawmakers will not reconvene until 2 weeks before the brakes it deadline that will ease the little times of pass legislation preventing a no deal departure saskia tale of reports. boris johnson is being well boris he's being bold as brass and he wants come what may rather. what you do when
4:06 pm
parliament won't play ball you suspend it he needed her majesty's permission to do that which he thought we don't get a week into october the 31st before getting on with our plans to take this country forward we are 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 a number 1010 and to resume a who's currently getting away from it all hiking in the swiss alps spent 3 years trying to deliver products that after the referendum something we are definitely clear of bricks it means bricks it bricks it needs frex it wrecks it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it but parliament had other ideas patchy shouting have doubt even what
4:07 pm
have her key points had her reaching for her water then she found that brussels wasn't very happy about how to bit the 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 to the opportunity to serve the country i love. and to boris johnson. and leave can figurehead johnson promise to take the u.k. out of the european union by how do we do you know no deal and that's really riled so where are we now well just 2 months from b. day and with parliament due to be suspended before it's. got going and only have 2 weeks to try to block a new deal brant said everyone's crying foul saying it's
4:08 pm
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 because it's just causing more trouble whole process is discussed. parliament is being bypassed. not democratic it's a catastrophe so anybody who tried to bring it in would be to. get what the people voted for i think it's a constitutional outrage he wants to see. you know when. it's yes yes. it will blame any problems on others and he will be patted on the back for delivering bricks and win an election that's what he sees boris johnson should do everything he can. to get back to if you can't get it through he's out although where is cynics point out that what's really on democratic our m.p.'s in westminster spending 3 years and piles of taxpayers' money by declaring over to leg
4:09 pm
breck said ok perhaps it was a little roguish 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 can sit it so maybe just maybe it's going to get his way and bill does britain away from brussels. r.t. london. british political commentator john going told us he believes the impossible breaks it for sports johnson's hand to take dramatic action. as if you'd let me know jewish i think he should step round the accordion now has given him permission to spend ball. and they keep talking about our 4 weeks is actually full day number
4:10 pm
one crew because a 1000000 people marched on a petition 17200000 people democrats revolted and the largest democrats in this country levanon chile so let's put the petition to one side yes i believe our attention was delivered whether ok to for breakfast is like me want. to. know but it certainly looks as if there are trees amazing that in the water and boris johnson is for once as a politician trying to deliver on a stock that we should be saluting that. environmental activists have reacted with anger after demerge that nestlé is seeking permission to extract millions of liters of water a day from natural springs in florida's santa fe river as part of a push by the food and beverage company to increase its bottled water production the river runs through the north of the state and is rich in biodiversity among the animal species that live there are for instance 15 breeds of turtles it's
4:11 pm
ecosystems are already considered to be at risk though due to years of overpumping . indigenous communities in neighboring canada have also been complaining of nestle's activities that think they've been losing access to clean water they've launched a petition calling on their government to stop permitting the exploitation of local rivers but we've asked a nestlé for a comment but haven't yet had a response however the company has always maintained that it appears to all relevant regulatory standards and thinks to ensure the protection and preservation of the rivers it draws water from when asked riverkeeper john quite a man what he thinks of leslie's latest plans. i think the sanitary river already has problems water glass. is nestle drawing more water out and selling it back to us and rustic bottles that people will then have to clean up on the rivers springs. right near this.
4:12 pm
water now. our springs really are to rebuild those on their roofs madison get in. the river which is in our basin. but if i recall correctly the ground some of the $128.00. if you decades ago that's all that. they get a huge amount of water and good in bottles like this were to people who are only on the river so in this incident 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 the swiss company for something that nobody actually needs. we tend to think of the tech industry as being at the forefront of tomorrow's world and also leading the way in equality and diversity
4:13 pm
among staff but it seems one european web developers conference in germany didn't get the memo this by promising a rich and diverse lineup it's canceled october's event after a number of delegates objective 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 workshop in the session but no women at all i'm not comfortable that well the organizers have said that only one female submitted a session proposal critics say though that those behind the aventura have reached out to more women will start gifts for their thoughts on the controversy. the fact is that women are still half the population think we're just marginally over the half and the people organizing it seem to be a group of men it was their duty. the requirement to
4:14 pm
ensure that they had a wide range of people to speak about the issues that they wanted the debate when you want to be diverse you know on some occasions will be more willing speakers on some occasions we don't more bad speakers but it is also the also the childish to say that you're going to have people in and effectively racially or sexually profiled i just said we're not interested what your speech is going to date we're not interested your level of talent we're not interested in the relevancy all were interesting 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 any women had applied local who got pushed out why a woman applied there was basically no how did that's not how will the earth is
4:15 pm
that the fault of men and it's very unlikely in the real world that 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. the daily caller a new site has revealed that a number of u.s. democratic presidential hopefuls have been taking donations from hedge fund managers with a stake in puerto rico storing debt that's despite the funds that those same kinds dismayed were paid to the time donald trump for failing to address the island
4:16 pm
4:17 pm
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 is your p.r. policy when it comes to going after donald trump anything goes even the all but forgotten puerto rico democrat certainly did speak up when trying snubs puerto rico didn't sign a disaster relief bill at 1st. he's shameful the way with 3 to puerto rico in the islands i'm not even sure people in the president's administration you poor 3 kinds 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 are very honorable of them but what is not honorable is cashing in on puerto rico's difficulties and big hedge fund managers
4:18 pm
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 dep amens 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 put 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
4:19 pm
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 have 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
4:20 pm
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 new york. is joining governments and it's going to have an intelligence tall schools to investigate perceived foreign interference in his universities become trees that acacia minister has cited the growing vulnerability of australia's institutions in the face of foreign and. according to the lightest advice from the australian charger security center the targeting of a strain universities continues to increase state sponsored saw. my use university networks as infrastructure due to their reliability and high and very
4:21 pm
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 finger is now being pointed to 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 has sparked outrage among chinese students and they describe china and taiwan as 2 separate states have you strongly opposed by beijing the chinese foreign ministry though has denied any involvement in australian politics courting the 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 and that's officially creating obstacles is not good for either side.
4:22 pm
i guess we heard from earlier told us that increased scrutiny could devolve into ethnic discrimination. chinese. them explain students who become more vulnerable the kind of ethnic and racial discrimination parts going to mix up the intelligence front and disses. to be because. intelligence and candor is pure nonsense should. transparent a large part of us in the dark. and we're not what quite sure what would happen to try me. students undercut them it's a very fundamental point that at the critical which the fact that straight is going to the states receiving money from takes out of the futurists use for us and this is something that was never mentioned discussed as much as an issue and so recent
4:23 pm
things straight since then this 6 year and the educationists and australia has not really mention anything connected with the 1st since so i do think there is a bit of a double to say that. it's only has just got a new coalition government this thursday that's after the 5 star movement struck a last minute deal with the democratic party to scuttle an attempt by the country's popular but deeply divisive interior minister to take power 2 weeks ago i tell salvini pull down his own ruling coalition in the hope of triggering elections but thanks to his rivals negotiations that's not what's happened he's calling that agreement and affront to democracy. because it's something you know the real truth is that 60000000 italians are being held hostage by the 100 m.p.'s that are afraid of losing their seats this is the real truth there are just 100 m.p.'s clinging to their seats so you can call that a democracy but then don't be surprised if people say why do i need to vote well
4:24 pm
talian politics is a bit of a minefield some describing the latest crisis as being the most craziest yet what resulted is in 2 bitter enemies strolling hand in hand to form a new government that's the democratic party and the 5 star movement of the president today. we told the president we have reached a deal with the democratic party that would allow concert to be the next premier and try to form a long lasting government. but we have expressed to the president of the republic our support for the attempt to create a new government with a new political majority why have the 2 forces being brought together well this always all is the result of the 4 partners a 5 star movement headed by the storm anti immigration interior minister. trying to pull down the last government in the hope of having snap elections that's
4:25 pm
because he was void by polls showing that he was on 38 to 39 percent in terms of approval ratings and thinking that perhaps he could go it alone and form his new own government if they were fresh elections held in italy so we need one of italy's perhaps most popular politicians the moment has been frozen cold government described as being made up of the loses. millions of italians are probably wondering why vote if those who were kicked out by elections really enter via the back door just. for political games this still a lot of tricky hurdles for the new italian government to meander through including creating a new budget that to brussels will approve the new government will be led by just said he was the prime minister in the last coalition government will he be the glue
4:26 pm
that holds these 2 parties together or is he going to be pulled into very different directions with parties with pretty much at most points opposing ideology there is still a chance that much of yourself being he could get his wish and it's a he could see snap elections before those scheduled ones at the moment pasted in for 2023 great having you with us on r.t. international we're back in 30 minutes with the latest.
4:27 pm
we. have. diverse things. we do you. don't have to get a pass to be officer began to. head them down. and then freeze on them sounds kind of fighting into i mean a grown man like wrestling essentially the officer who. drew his own. twisted away from the officer of the toys out of his crib. the obvious or did they
4:28 pm
kind of lunge for the weapon once missed and then what happened on 3 swung at the officers hands didn't hit him i never saw any contact between the 2 and the kind with back to where they were so the officers back here there try again 15 feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he did it on 3. oh why a paradise with some all year round turned into a round the experimentation field the agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in vain you have many of these people who have 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
4:29 pm
has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental racism going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. what politicians do. you put themselves on the line and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go on to be press this is what before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of. course should. require media. don't do that the sums up only once and that when the album describes you need to manage your planet in the thing is one that one how did you
