chargeable. forced to apologize on one of m s n b c's top posts were tracked the story linking donald trump to russian oligarchs admitting the so-called rigorous verification standards of the outlet would not adhere to. also environmental activists rally against nest place plans to draw over 3 and a half 1000000 liters of water from florida santa fe river every day saying it would threaten the area's biodiversity. and a lack of diversity sees a european web developers conference cancelled over a guest list with no women we debate whether the industry is struggling to keep up with the times. it's very unlikely in the real world. that somebody would

just not want somebody to speak on the grounds of the judge i'm sorry to say it does happen i'm glad to say it's not absolutely widespread. hello you're watching r.t. international i'm words on a low thank you for joining us and m s n b c host has been forced into a fake news apology after a bombshell report on donald trump of his ties to russia it was claimed the us president had russian oligarchs cosign loans for him with deutsche bank but the story backfired when it appeared that the source hadn't checked the facts hugo standoffs 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 the 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 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 emerson 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 their ratings

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 the traum 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 prime minister 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 deadline and that will leave them little time to pass legislation preventing a no deal departure assessed detail or reports. boris johnson is being well boris

he's being bold as 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 husqvarna getting away from it all hiking in the swiss alps spent 3 years trying to deliver 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 have her key points had her reaching for her 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 the opportunity to serve the country i love. and took boris johnson ardent bracks a tear and leave cancer figurehead 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.j. and with parliament due to be suspended before it's. got going and only have 2

weeks to try block and no deal breck 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 has been bypassed and is. not democratic it's a catastrophe so anybody who tried to bring it in would be called to 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 little man will 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 for it 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 westminster spending 3 years and piles of taxpayers' money by declaring 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 john gaunt 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 you sidestepped round recording now has given him permission to suspend barmen and they keep talking

about full weeks is actually. number one cause of a 1000000 people moore's law of petition 17400000 people democratically voted in the largest democratic sources going to let alone to leave so let's put the petition 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 loaches lived in trees amazed dead in the water and boris johnson is for once as a politician trying to deliver on a stock that we should be saluting the. environmental activists have reacted with anger after it emerged at nestlé is seeking permission to extract millions of liters of water a day from natural spray it 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 of turtles in ecosystems already considered to be at risk though due to years of overpumping and 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 the government to stop messing the exploitation of local rivers and we've asked nestle for comment but we haven't received a response yet however the company has always maintained that it here's to all relevant regulatory standards and seeks to ensure the protection and preservation of the rivers it draws water from we also have a key perch on course him and what he thinks of nestlé slater's plants. i think that senator the river already has problems but 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

a right near this nestle bottle of water. water now. our springs really hard to read but it's those on there bruce madison county that's on the with the dixie river which is in our basin but 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. good in bottles like this were to people on the river so in addition to the pollution that'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 you or 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 inequality and diversity among stuff but it seems that one european a web developers conference in germany did not get the memo despite promising a rich and diverse lineup it's canceled autobus 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 with that. on the organizers have said that only one female submitted a session proposal critics say that those behind the adventure have reached out to more women we asked our guests for their force 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 main was their duty. requirement to ensure that they had a wide range of people to speak about the issues that they wanted a debate when you want to be diverse you know on some occasions with people waving speakers on some occasions with more bad speakers but he's also the also the childish 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 got pushed out what little bit

applied there was basically no candidates now how will the earth is not the fault of 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. 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 popular deeply divisive interior minister to take power 2 weeks ago in matters salvini brought down his own ruling coalition in the hope of triggering elections but thanks to his rivals negotiations that's not happened he's calling their agreement an affront to democracy. 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 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

president today. we told the president we have reached a deal with the democratic party. 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 anti immigration interior minister. trying to pull down the last government in the hope of having snap elections that's because he was void by polls showing that he was on 38 or 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 described as being made. millions of italians are probably wondering why vote if those who were kicked out by elections really enter via the 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 it's

a he could see snap elections before those scheduled ones at the moment pasted in 2023. trailing 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 institutions in the face of foreign adversaries. according to the lightest advice from these try and charge a security say into the targeting of a strain universities continues to increase state sponsored. my use university network infrastructure due to their reliability and high and very traffic. in the noise the 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 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 has sparked outrage among chinese students as it described china and taiwan as 2 separate states if 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 all too real motives you politicize an education and cooperations an artificially create an obstacle is in that is not good for either side. or the guests we heard from earlier told us such increased scrutiny could devolve into ethnic discrimination. chinese out dumb explained students would become more vulnerable to the kind of ethnic and racial

discrimination passed going to mix up the intelligence part and d.c. is a big brewery to me because. i'm not all for counterintelligence 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 would happen to be chinese and the students and there could the mix very fundamental point that critical which the fact that straight 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 and the educationists and australia has not really mention anything connected with those institutions so i do think there is a bit of a double to say. the daily caller a 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 that is a spy the fact that those same candidates have made repeated attacks on donald trump failing to address the on in territories desperate economic situation. rudy giuliani.

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 plenty from snubs toward a rico didn't sign a disaster relief bill at the 1st. he'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 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 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

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 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 kaleb mop and artsy new york. just before we go to a breaking story a prisoner exchange between russia and ukraine has started in the past few hours a plane carrying several ukrainian prisoners who are being held in prisons in russia is expected to land in the ukrainian capital kiev at any moment among those on board the ukrainian filmmaker who writes

post g 7 what is the lay of the land calls for unity to demonstrate the opposite also iran is again in the spotlight just what is trumps foreign policy in this moment. bernie sanders announces a plan to save journalism and clamp down on social media platforms and donald trump is telling his followers to find an alternative to fox news we're breaking down both announcements on this edition of. welcome to politicking i'm matthew cook in for larry king this week senator bernie sanders put forward in an op ed his plan to save journalism in america and further states that as president he would appoint law enforcement officials to clamp down on the likes of facebook and google to keep them from exercising too much control over the media industry and on wednesday donald trump shocked many by stating that

his long cherished fox news channel isn't working for him anymore and he's telling his followers to look for an alternative to the conservative news channel trump 2 has long criticized the digital platforms of a bias against him and republicans lots to break down and take a look at on this episode and for that i'm joined by john had a role a award winning host of the young turks and the damage report on the young turks network and michael knowles host of the michael noll show at the daily wire and author of the book reasons to vote for democrats a comprehensive guide they join me in studio welcome guys thanks for having me so let's talk about this bernie sanders pad to begin with he wants to reform journal did you guys read it i guess it's a little bit longer than your book it isn't move all it's infinitely longer than my . book but i did read it and as is often the case with bernie i actually think he frequently identifies the real problems identifies correct problems decreasing

wages problems with immigration problems with in this case big tech coming in and clamping down on journalism i am all for taking down big tech i am all for breaking them up and reducing their power their interest they control the flow of information around the internet obviously conservatives talk about this a lot because there have been high profile incidents where conservatives have been targeted some of my own videos have been taken down on various platforms and i think that this affects the left as well and i think it affects everyone in the middle nobody wants a few companies to control the flow of information where i disagree with bernie is on his solution which is to give the government more taxing power to go in take money from these companies and then give it to some government sponsored news organizations i don't want the government to control my news or back news organizations any more than i want big tech to have control over it and let's get your overview of the bernie sanders up at and then we'll get into some of the points you just say so i think for anyone who hasn't seen it hasn't read it yet he does identify big.
