9:02 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

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 their ratings
9:05 pm
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 journalist. it's not even remotely that it's i can say what i want and if the traum ok will give a little bit of an apple and move on not even a slap on the wrist nothing. 3 years after a majority of brits voters leave the e.u. and with parliament still paralyzed and 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 brakes it deadline that will leave them little time to pass legislation preventing a new deal departure a suskind taylor reports. boris johnson is being well boris he's being bold as
9:06 pm
brass and he wants breakfast 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 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 carney getting away from it all hiking in the swiss alps spent 3 years trying to deliver after the referendum something we are definitely clear on bricks it means bricks it bricks it needs threats it wrecks it means bricks it and we're going to make
9:07 pm
a success of it but parliament had other ideas perpetually shouting had out even might have heard a key points had her reaching for her water then 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 to the opportunity to serve the country i love. and to boris johnson ardent bricks a tear and leave come figurehead johnson promised to take the u.k. out of the european union by how do we deal oh 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 p.s.
9:08 pm
will only have 2 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 is. not democratic it's a catastrophe so anybody who tried to bring it in would be a disaster anyway we should care what the people voted for i think it's a constitutional outrage he wants to see. you know when. it's self-important he'll 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 could. 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 m.p.'s in
9:09 pm
westminster spending 3 years and piles of taxpayers' money by dithering over to leg breck said ok perhaps it was a little rogue ish 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 altie london or british political commentator joan gone told us he believes the impasse over bricks it forced boris johnson's hand to take dramatic action. i think you left with no choice i think sidestep round recording now has given him permission says ben barman and they keep talking about
9:10 pm
4 weeks exactly for number 13 cause a 1000000 people moore's law a petition 17400000 people democratically voted in the largest democratic sources country let alone to leave so let's put the petition to one side yes i believe boris johnson was delivered whether already there for them to do is like me want. cio terms i don't know but surely loaches lived or trees amazed dead in the water and boris johnson is for wants as a politician trying to deliver what he promised not that we should be saluting their. environmental activists have reacted with anger after it emerged that nestlé is seeking permission to extract millions of liters of water a day from natural springs in florida santa fe river it's 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
9:11 pm
animal species that live there are for instance 15 breeds of turtles it's 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 activity saying they've been losing access to clean water they've launched a petition calling on make government to stop permitting the exploitation of local rivers we've asked nestlé for a common but we haven't received a response yet however the company has always maintained that it here's to all relevant regulatory standards and 6 when sure the protection and preservations of the rivers draws water from and we else riverkeeper john quarterman what he thinks of nestlé as 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 in springs i have
9:12 pm
a right near this nestle bottle of water. water now. our springs really hard to read but it's those on their roofs madison county that's on the with the dixie river which is in our basin that it paid if i recall correctly the grand sum up 120 $8.00 a few decades ago 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 it'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 is being
9:13 pm
at the forefront of tomorrow's world and also leading the way in equality and diversity among stuff 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 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 . the organizers have said that only one female submitted a session proposal critics say though that those behind eventually have reached out to more women we all thought guess for their thoughts on the controversy. the fact is that women are still half the population think we're just marginally over there . and the people organizing it seem to be
9:14 pm
a group of main was their duty. 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 he's also the also the child to say if you're going to have people in and effectively racially or sexually profiled 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 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 would
9:15 pm
apply 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 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. italy has just got a new coalition government as of 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
9:16 pm
popular but deeply defy siv interior minister to take power 2 weeks ago. down his own ruling coalition in the hope of triggering elections but thanks to his rival's negotiations that has not happened he's calling their agreement an affront to democracy. the real truth is that all 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 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
9:17 pm
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. 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 because he was boid 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 to the government
9:18 pm
described as being made up of the. millions of italians are probably wondering why vote if those who were kicked out by elections reinterview back door just. political games for this still a lot of tricky hurdles for the new italian government to meander through including creating a new budget that brussels will approve the new government will be led by just said he he was the prime minister in the last coalition government will he be the glue 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 matter yourself being he could get his wish and italy could see snap

elections before those scheduled ones at the moment pasted in 42023. the australian 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 cited the growing vulnerability of australia's situations in the face of foreign adversaries. according to the lightest advice from the australian sabah security center the targeting of a strain universities continues to increase state sponsored sarees my use university networks as infrastructure due to their reliability and haul in very traffic thus allowing the series to hide in the noise the federal government is working with the university sector to develop best practice guidelines for dealing with foreign interference although no particular state has been named directly the

figure is now being pointed at chinese students who cared for close to a 3rd of all foreign students in australia last month the university of queensland so tensions between supporters of the hong kong protest and those in favor of beijing in other cases some teaching materials are spot outrage among chinese students as they describe china and taiwan as 2 separate states of either destroying li opposed by beijing the chinese foreign ministry there has to deny 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 the guess we heard from earlier told us such increased scrutiny could devolve into ethnic discrimination. chinese. dumb explained students
9:21 pm
would become more vulnerable to the kind of ethnic and racial discrimination pious going to mix up with the intelligence plant in d.c. is a big brewery to be because. i'm not all for counter intelligence and can that is pure nonsense investigation are not open and transparent a large part of the we will leave us in the dark and we're not we're quite sure what will happen to define us and the students and their get them it's a very fundamental point that critical which the fact that straight in universities are receiving money from the example the futurists use for us and this is something that was never mentioned discussed in much of an issue and so recently strange since this year and the educationists and australia has not really mention anything connected to the 1st since so i do think there is a bit of a double to say. the daily call the new site has revealed that
9:22 pm
a number of us democratic presidential hopefuls have been taking donations from hedge fund managers with a stake in puerto rico's soaring debt that's despite the fact that those same candidates have made repeated attacks on double trouble for failing to address the island territories desperate economic situation. rudy giuliani. you know.
9:23 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 as 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 snubs to puerto rico didn't sign a disaster relief bill at 1st. it's shameful the way we're treated 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
9:24 pm
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 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 create a ricans will be denied a better future if hedge funds are allowed to continue to profit from austerity and
9:25 pm
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 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 donations 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
9:26 pm
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. armors on a local care in just over 30 minutes time with more headlines from around the world see them.
9:27 pm
need to put me in the demo. i'm one of them and i think i can send it out by anyone then no one knows where buddy. that someone might be should have been there so they are. presumed i didn't want that and why i think it's i mean yes and you should know that if you know that yankee game keep it to keep any kind of tequila down to the
9:28 pm
night he made a mistake and it was done that you know enough about him before out of. the. readings and sal you take today i think it's time we we have a little talk about priorities watchers priority it's those things that take precedence before others because our values deem them to be more important than most our children are often our priorities are health our families all are generally considered to be universal individual priorities that all of our lives but what about the priorities of our communities or our countries to the united states of america for example now one would think that here in the self-proclaimed
9:29 pm
world's greatest democracy the boating and maintaining the sanctity of our voting system would be an important priority for the country. one would think that. however a quick look at the state of our voting systems in the federal elections commission and you'd see that the integrity and sanctity of those systems. are really quite cut of the top priority for us take the federal elections commission or f.e.c. which supposedly serves as a bipartisan watchdog for sort of campaign finance laws here in the u.s. well thanks to president trump and the u.s. senate in action on appointing new f.e.c. members as of august 31st the commission will no longer have enough commissioners to legally meet you has my friends the new york times is reporting that the resignation of vice chairman map us peterson will affect the belief freeze the f.e.c. is governance leaving it one person short of a quorum and then and thus unable to take on some of its most basic actions
9:30 pm
including holding board meetings starting audits making new rules in levying fines for campaign finance violations but that's not the only election issues facing the country we also saw this tweet featuring a video of an electronic voting machine malfunction in mississippi go viral reminding us all that as of now there are still 8 states using voting machines that do not leave a paper trail but what i don't want to just pick on the united states it's not just them that has issues with their priorities my friends not when we see headlines like these g 7 called out for 20000000 amazon fire aid package jim carrey got that much for the cable guy yes jim carrey got paid 20000000 dollars the same as we're sending to the amazon for acting in the cable guy. that my friends is why our priorities should always be watching the hawks.
