8:02 pm
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 of false and defamatory and extremely damaging . can easily be proven based on your reckless disregard of the truth and unreasonable reliance on an alleged thought he would 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 and by the way if we take trump's lawyers 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 bulletproof news for you will 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 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 the ravings

basement there are baby monitors that have higher ratings than this they don't care 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 it's not even journalism it's not even remotely that it's i can say what i want. and if it's wrong ok will 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 its johnson's decided to shut it down the radical move means that after the suspension takes effect lawmakers will not reconvene until 2 weeks before the brics it deadline and that will leave them little time to pass legislation preventing a no deal departure and saskia taylor reports. boris johnson is being well boris
8:06 pm
he's being bold as brass and he wants to come what may rather. what you do when parliament won't play ball you suspend it he needed her majesty's permission to do that which he bought we don't get a week 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 legislative 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 husqvarna getting away from it all hiking in the swiss selves spent 3 years trying to deliver cracks it after the referendum something we are definitely clear of bricks it means bricks it bricks it needs threats it wrecks it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it but parliament had other ideas patchy shouting had out even what
8:07 pm
have you boys had to reach out for water then she found that brussels wasn't very happy about how to bit a juror 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 to the opportunity to serve the country i love. and took boris johnson's ardent bricks a tear and leave can't think ahead johnson promised to take the u.k. out of the european union by how do we do you know 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
8:08 pm
weeks to try to block a new deal brant 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 because it's just causing more trouble whole process is discussed in. parliament is being bypassed and. 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 self important don't blame any problems on others and he will be patted on the back for delivering bricks and when an election that's what he sees boris johnson should do everything he can. to get breaks for it 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
8:09 pm
westminster spending 3 years and piles of taxpayers' money by dithering over to leg breck said ok perhaps it was a little rogue 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 gaunt told us he believes the impasse over breaks it forced boris yeltsin's hands to take action. i think you left me no choice i think you sidestep around recording now has given him permission to suspend violent and they keep talking about for next exactly for number one cause
8:10 pm
a 1000000 little morsel of petition 17400000 people democratically voted in the largest democratic explores this country let alone to leave so let's put the british rule to one side yes i believe boris johnson was delivered whether already the for them to do is like me want. cio terms i don't know but surely loach lived in a truly amazed they're in the water and boris johnson is for worlds as a politician trying to deliver what he promised not that we should be saluting their. environmental activists have reacted with anger after the most at nestlé is seeking permission to extract millions of liters of water a day from natural springs in florida santa fe river it's all 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
8:11 pm
ecosystems are already considered to be at risk of 0 to 2 years of overpumping. and the digitas communities in neighboring canada have also been complaining of nestle's activity saying they've been losing access to clean water they've lost a petition calling on their government to stop permitting the exploitation of local rivets we've asked nestlé for comment but we haven't received a response yes however the company has always maintained that it hears to all relevant regulatory standards and seeks to ensure the protection and preservation of the rivers it draws water from riverkeeper john quarterman what he thinks of nestle's latest plants. i think that senator the 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. right near this is
8:12 pm
a nestle problem water. water now. our springs really hard to read but it's those on their roofs madison county that's on the at the dixie river which is in our basin they paid if i recall correctly the grand sum up 128 dollars a few decades ago and that's all that. they get it's a huge amount of water and i'm good in bottles like this which people throw it on the river so in addition to the pollution that's also causing the local to go right now just because we need that water or drinking for agriculture or industry we don't really need it to be making profit you or the swiss company for something that nobody actually needs. we tend to think of the tech industry as being at the
8:13 pm
forefront of tomorrow's wealth and also leading the way in equality and diversity among staff but it seems one european web developers conference in germany didn't get the memo despite promising a rich and diverse lineup it's canceled october's event after a number of delegates objected that no women speakers were taking part 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 now the organizers have said that only one female submitted a session proposal critics say though that those behind the event should have reached out to more women may also guess for their thoughts on the controversy. the fact is that women are still half the population think we're just marginally over there half the people organizing it seem to be a group of men it was their duty their requirement to
8:14 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 with more bad speakers but he's also the also the child age to say if 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 the women had applied local who got pushed out what it would apply there was basically no candidates now how will the earth is that the fault of
8:15 pm
men and 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's still happening i wish it wasn't but unless it's get spoken about i don't think much will change. controversy over a tech conference in germany there will be back with more news after this short break.
8:16 pm
you know world 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 smart we need to stop slamming the door. 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 manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling class is protect themselves. in the final. listen to the one percent. nor middle of the

room. welcome back deal straining government says it's going to set up an intelligence task force to investigate perceived foreign interference in its universities the country's education minister assigned to the growing for nobility of australia's situations in the face of foreign adversaries. cording to the lightest advice from the australian sabah security center the targeting of a strain universities continues to increase state sponsored stories my use university networks as infrastructure due to their reliability and ha and very traffic. to hide in the noise the federal government is working with
8:18 pm
the university sector to develop best practice guidelines for dealing with foreign interference although no particular state has been named directly the finger 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 are swapped outrage among chinese students as they describe china and taiwan as 2 separate states have you strongly opposed by beijing the chinese foreign ministry there has denied any involvement in australian politics calling 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 cooperations an artificially create an obstacle is not good for either side. while
8:19 pm
the guess we heard from earlier told us such increased scrutiny could devolve into ethnic discrimination. chinese. academy explained students would become more vulnerable the kind of ethnic and racial discrimination parts going to mix up with the intelligence part and d.c. is a big ruling to me because. i'm not all for hunter intelligence and can that is pure nonsense it must be should i'm not open and i'm more transparent a large part of the we will leave us in the dark and we're not what quite sure what would happen to be chinese and the students and there could the mix very fundamental point that critical which the fact that strayed in universities receiving money from the example futurists use for us and this is something that men should discuss and much of an issue and so recent things straight since this 6 year. the educationists and australia has not really mention anything connected
8:20 pm
with those institutions so i do think there is a bit of a double to say. the daily caller new science has revealed that a number of us democratic presidential hopefuls have been taking donations from hedge fund managers with a stake in puerto rico soaring debt that despite the fact those same candidates have been repeated made repeated attacks on donald trump the failing to address the island territories desperate economic situation. p.t.t. . little.
8:21 pm
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 puts a 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 trump's notes puerto rico didn't sign a disaster relief bill at 1st. it's shameful the way we treated puerto rico when
8:22 pm
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 dep a mince in that in many cases could not be paid by to puerto rican government the
8:23 pm
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 it till 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 fight their 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 donations are the core of
8:24 pm
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 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 tale of mop and artsy new york. i'm or is another could mo be back in just over 30 minutes time with more headlines from around the world see them.

china indicated that it might not move forward with the latest round of tariffs on the u.s. instead stressing the need for the world's 2 largest economies to the conflict the ministry of commerce spokesperson golfing said that china has ample means for. but thinks that the question should be discussed. should be discussed now is about removing tariffs as it is not conducive to china or the us both china and the us seem to want to call a ceasefire after this year long trade war on monday trump conceded that trumps phone calls from china did not happen the way he said they did and that it was his attempt to project optimism to boost markets trump has been increasingly concerned about the markets inability to breach 3000 and is agitated by this trade war with china is dragging on months longer than expected. earlier this month china was unfairly designated as a currency manipulator by trump and the us treasury despite the fact that china only fulfilled one of the 3 criteria that identifies one us such that you. then
