i want. the top stories this is an american t.v. network sues one of them s n b c's top hosts for describing them as a paid russian propaganda we look at her track record when it comes to making claims about the kremlin. a group of independent u.s. journalists get back to being criticize for a visit to government controlled parts of syria. any time anybody visits a government syrian government side and offers a realistic perspective they can expect to be attacked what we've been able to see and report already has threatened the narrative that's been conveyed by western media and artie's video agency ruptly launches a special project which can explore the mystery surrounding the deaths of 9 hikers

in the 16 years ago which did spawned numerous theories still being debated today. here in moscow you're watching international senior u.s. journalist so once again fighting over russia with one t.v. network now suing the host of another for describing them as paid russian propaganda. has borne the story. here comes a familiar voice which becomes even more familiar if we hear words like russia or russian the most obsequiously approach trump right wing news outlet in america really it literally is page correction propaganda for those who still didn't recognize that that was really literally rachel maddow speaking about the one american news network on her and this n.b.c.

show i'll get to the point of reminding you how she keeps seeing russia everywhere in a moment but don't you think there must be someone out there who won't just swallow what the m s n b c star anchor says without hitting the bag with a decent jab well oh a ed is filing a defamation lawsuit they want 10000000 bucks one america is wholly operated and financed by the herring family in san diego they are as american as apple pie they are not paid by russia and have nothing to do with the russian government this is a false and malicious libel and they're going to answer for it in a court of law to tell you about the reason for when rachel maddow said really literally which is supposed to mean definitely no doubt shares staff with the kremlin that's another thing she said it's just that a one america journalist freelance work for a russian based news agency sputnik she got him busted so bad

but as i've said earlier the number of times rachel maddow turned her show into a grand russian paranoia episode is just difficult to tell. her about to find out if the new president of our country is going to do what russia wants. f.b.i. is under attack from the president from the president's republican supporters and congress and the president conservative media supporters and also from the ongoing russian influence operation that is still. well what happened after russia killed the power in fargo today and what would happen if all of the natural gas lines that surface in falls just goofed on the coal to stay in recent memory and it wasn't in our power whether or not to turn them back on no wonder that when some folks decided to put the m s n b c hosts russia gate obsession into a mathematical perspective they found she spent more time talking about russia than

all other topics combined over a certain period. now you know what it takes to become the most watched hosts in all of cable news she got to that milestone last year but when step by step it gets revealed that a lot of what you were saying was just a flow of blah blah you make up to win views the consequences do start haunting you 1st the ratings gradually went down and then the actual conclusions of the more pro blood to wet is on air this is what the viewers saw when rachel maddow 1st realized the probe wasn't going the russia gaiters way and so we know the logistics of how we got the notification that it did and obviously right now we have mostly just a ton of questions as to what miller's report says how complete it is who gets to see it who gets to decide who gets to see it and when. now here comes the

lawsuit the one i mentioned nothing's decided yet but probably even more people will think twice next the hear really literally in that familiar voice. more than a year off to the u.s. president the iran nuclear deal president donald trump says that reaching an agreement with iran could actually be a good thing he also spoke about the recent sacking of his national security adviser john bolton. they are a much different country right now than they were 2 and a half years ago when i came into office would you consider easing sanctions told what then to make a meeting happen we'll see what happens we'll see what happens i think iran has a tremendous tremendous potential. there incredible people that they have we're not looking for regime change. we hope that we can make a deal or we can make a deal this trying to johnny is somebody that i actually got along with very well.

he made some very big mistakes and frankly he wanted to do things not necessarily tough for the millionaire jobs known as the tough guy so tough he got us into iraq but bolton was known then for his aggressive approach to foreign policy and he took a particularly hard line with iran as well as well as with the leadership of syria north korea and venezuela runs president reacted to the news. only young boy americans have to realize that and woman does and not to their benefits they should not only abandon woman growing but also abandon their maximum pressure policy john bolton's exit from the white house is a positive sign it's also a sign that u.s. policy towards iran is not working the idea behind maximal pressure was to do whatever they can to damage iran's economy with the aim of overthrowing the iranian government that was something that both son wanted and the other people. who would

like my pump or who are also interested in regime change in iraq trump may need anything for his 20 twentieth's actions he doesn't have any even. in foreign policy his policy with china as well to working out a policy with north korea not working he couldn't get the venezuelan government overthrown this was one of what science projects rouhani doesn't need. behind. the. meeting with the. idea of any benefit for him personally or for the country as long as the sanctions of the 6 of us. something so thin that the sanctions would be lifted off the music. visit by independent american journalists to syria has sparked outrage from some of the media after they traveled to government held areas to assess the country's recovery i spoke with neil harvey i'm staying in the old city of damascus

by the eastern gate sharky and i walked across the street across the highway into a neighborhood about a few 100 meters away that had been controlled for 4 months by jaish al islam the wahhabi militia backed by saudi arabia and met residents who had actually lived under their feet craddick rule who described kidnappings rape of women people being executed in the street for violating the theocratic rule and how happy they were to be finally freed from this gang what i was observing was a city and outside of the city that is much much safer since i last was there last and i was in syria was 2 years ago there were still fighting it was still on save there were checkpoints everywhere now that the government has taken back many areas especially around accidents baskets outside of damascus you can travel to the suburbs and beyond the suburbs without going through

a 1000000 checkpoints not being worried about being kidnapped or being sniped moreover our life has gone to a reasonable degree back to normal for a lot of people. well most women fall and run you how did travel to the capital damascus with the aim of speaking to locals and observing syria's recovery from i saw and they say too they received no funding from the country's government were among those angered by the visit were journalists from c.n.n. and also the intercept to accuse them of white washing and also government support of their reactions. this is sam goebbels prancing around syrian government luxury tour percy tourist photos near torture centers and maki syrian refugees who can never return to their country with their frisking being tortured to death started to read a certain journalist's thread from inside damascus this am then found myself getting palpitations which progressed into spasms of rage how can anyone be so blindly

credulous on a cosmic sin volved it is such a disgrace. l m a o ron mocks are in damascus neither of them speak arabic yet they claim to be talking to many syrians there why aren't they disclosing who's translating for them and helping them out. this is to be expected and so they're trying to intimidate americans or europeans and people from the west from coming here they're trying to break off cultural exchange between us and average people who just happen to live in the area controlled by the syrian government where most syrians live and what we've been able to see and report already has threatened the narrative that's been conveyed by western corporate media and a pack of kind of dime a dozen correspondents acting as state department i mean i think the people attacking us have an agenda they're either convinced that they're right or they're working on behalf of somebody else or both this isn't something we're we're that's new to us we're used to it i think it's why we can recognize an operation when we

see one and this is if it's very quirky. you know these people are talking in some d.m. group and coordinating against us and it's quite obvious and it's not surprising we expected it and i you know i think it's something that happens particularly any time anybody visits a government or the syrian government side. of syria and offers a realistic perspective they can expect to be attacked but more importantly i think the reason there are so outraged by me and max is because me and max tend to be quite effective in offering a different perspective and offering a reality on the ground kind of perspective. the war on terror will ensure responds to the 911 attacks 18 years ago changed not just america but the whole world to supporting to pakistan's prime minister. in exclusive interview with r.t. is some of what he said. well had we not participated in the american war you know

after 911 we would not have been the words to risk untrue by participating in the war and i repeat i was against it because you see here we were trading these mujahedeen people to do a job against the soviet when they occupied of understand so these people were trained by pakistan funded by the american cia. and now a decade later when the americans the government of honest on the same groups all in pakistan are supposed to say that no not because the americans are there it's no longer job it's terrorism you know it was a big contradiction and i strongly felt that you know pakistan should have been neutral because by joining in these groups turn against us so we you know we lost 70000 people we lost as i said over $100000000000.00 to the economy and in the

end we were blamed for the for the the americans don't see succeed in afghanistan i felt it was very unfair on pakistan the full interview does touch on a wide range of topics from a potential nuclear war between india and pakistan to the prime minister's past as a successful cricketer and what aspects of the sport actually helped him in politics you can watch the interview in full on friday on our channel as well as our website r.t. dot com. now the mystery of what happened to a group of soviet hikers in the euro mountains back in 1959 is still vexing minds today and now you too can explore the various theories surrounding the battle of pass incident that's thanks to a special project launched by video agency replay. well

the project is allow you to follow that 10 day trek and for each day you can explore what the group did. maps and also what they wrote and you can also learn to what state their bodies were found in and the theories as to what happened but you can also get interactive you don't just have to read because you can put yourself into the shoes of one of the team members to as they walk along the route and then you can vote on your preferred of what happened after weighing up the options.

worth a look now still to come this hour experts do warn that germany's push for more renewable energy could threaten the country's power supply we'll have the details on this most of the stories in a couple of minutes. this is mostly the 1920 s. no and there were no laws really on wall street and the abuses were huge and the market went up and people began to look at the stock market as the proxy for the economy people are getting wealthy because their stocks are going up and they didn't take with their jobs they just become speculators and so this is what happened now people are saying look the economy the real economy is terrible no jobs they've been shipped overseas and i'm nothing like the day trading and the market goes up therefore i'm being productive but it's. in

a world of big. and conspiracy it's time. 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. with the german chancellor has called for a more proactive approach to climate change the topic dominated the debate in the german parliament on the country's 2020 budget but some experts do warn that stricter regulations could put europe's biggest economy. with more his own course.

if there's any country that could be the poster child of a green political agenda it's most certainly germany it's a noble pursuit no doubt but the green vanguard is learning the hard way that everything has a price that's in those 3 shows industrialized countries are also on the frontline we need to do something to overcome our caribbean footprint and stop changes in the climate versus the rise in temperature if you push for climate protection it will cost money this money is well spent if we ignore it i think it will cost us more money that's the truth doing nothing is no alternative the fact is that google didn't pay more the captains of germany's car industry responded to merkel's request with a resounding yes they unveiled their latest most futuristic electric cars in frankfurt after billions of euros of investment of course perhaps they were trying to take a step towards the flying cars of science fiction at any rate many are saying that

paying for the future is only leading to the destruction of the present and i can include the green socialist ideology is running our country and taking away any chance we have for the future your so-called climate protection is nothing else than a monstrous industrialization program combined with veritable job destruction you waste billions to avert imaginary doomsdays in the distant future we're not just hearing this kind of talk from politicians though a new report says that renewables are threatening shortages in germany's energy supply and the country hasn't even come close to its energy transition goals germany is missing most of its self-imposed targets for the energy transition by 2020 at the same time energy supply security is being jeopardized in the medium term by the decision to phase out nuclear and coal emissions germany's over reliance on wind and solar energy has created a big deficit at times of little wind or sun the government has imported energy

from neighboring countries to avoid blackouts and just. balanced $2900.00 energy budget germany had to foot a bill that skyrocketed to $38000.00 euros for a megawatt of power per hour as compared to just $64.00 euros in 2017 not to mention that every day germans pay the highest energy prices in all of europe we have to highest energy costs in the world the price for energy is the highest in the world because of this change of to supply system a situation is very ridiculous i mean they made a big fuss last year for $2200.00 hectares of forest for a coal mine at the same time they're cutting thousands of hectares of forest for wind mails killing hundreds thousands of animals i mean this is no green policy i mean right now the situation what we have in germany is that the green party started as an environmental party but now they change. their climate used climate

paranoia party which sacrifice everything for the climate situation of no it doesn't matter human beings nature animals no losses are all losses are justified this energy crisis may have germany teetering on the brink of recession and to stay afloat it's going to need that world renowned powerhouse of an auto industry it's built instead carmakers are being pressured to produce expensive electric cars that don't even sell that well volkswagen's chief already warned that perhaps this is all going to for the current campaign against individual mobility and conventional cars is reaching a threatening level instead of using federal or diesel will basically use coal even if we're literally powered and in the worst case we'll even use league night that takes their idea of electric mobility to absurdity nevertheless environmental organizations are marching en masse on saturday joining them will be a brigade of cyclists calling for an end to the combustion engine hopefully it

won't translate to an end to the. an economy germany was very safe on energy supply and everything everybody's used to energy is always available but with getting more and more of the mails into the into the system the system gets more and more in stable and we have seen in the last month several times that a collapse of energy supply system we passed by only very slightly governmental policy in germany is destructing our debate but one of our industry which is the car industry of course from germany and for example works they announced already beginning of this year that they want to go to reduce $20000.00 people just because of the mobility only in germany it's a big economic game for all competitors i mean plants are closing down here in germany because of their regulations and reopen in china where they can produce either to unlimited. quarter they're reporting now top u.s.

lawmakers are set to vote in ikea lament the impeachment investigation surrounding the us president $41.00 see panel is not voting on impeachment itself but rather on the parameters of the investigation although supporters of the probe do you hope it will strengthen their chances of gathering key evidence against trump on allegations of corruption and also obstruction of justice however democrats have been sending mixed signals about this is now reports. democrats seem to be rolling ahead with their efforts to remove donald trump from office the house judiciary committee has just called for procedures related to its investigation of the president's wrong doing now for a lot of people that seems to put the smell of impeachment into the air their records on the house judiciary committee are expected to vote on expanding the impeachment inquiry into president trump democrats taking formal steps towards impeachment this is an impeachment inquiry in search of something to impeach

president trump over so we've got 134 democrats voting to begin an impeachment inquiry but do they really mean it at this point the democrats can't even seem to agree on what's going on with the house judiciary investigation who have been in the midst of an impeachment investigation no we're not in an impeachment investigation. the house is investigating to determine whether or not there should be an impeachment investigation so why might the democrats seem to be a little bit reluctant well in 2020 it's not just the presidential race but there's also some local elections and it seems like impeaching trial isn't the best vote getter polls show that 72 percent of democrats favor impeaching donald trump but for the country overall 59 percent oppose now that seems like bad news for the new progressive socialist wing of the democrats that seem to have that their entire house on it remember this we're going to go in there we're going to use the mother

from would love it if the different democrats tried to impeach him it's the kind of battle he loves the public is totally turned off it's not following this controversy at all so i think it would definitely play into trump's hands it will do the democrats very little good in the 2020 alexion and probably will actually wind up backfiring virtually impossible if he could be convicted in the senate and removed from office so it's just a it's a lot of hot air over nothing now the problem for the democrats in removing donald trump is that according to the u.s. constitution once the proceedings begin it would be the u.s. senate that would then vote to convict and remove the president the constitution requires a 2 thirds vote among the senators and the democrats don't come anywhere near that so what would the charges be and all the most common answer you'll get is obstruction of justice but there's a little bit of a problem with that we did not however make

a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime so obstructing an investigation into something that you did not do now you could certainly lock up an average joe for that but it's a pretty weak case for driving a president from office some democrats even think that it would be bad for the country to impeach donald trump it's important for us to think about what is in the best interest of the country and the american people. and continuing to pursue impeachment is something that i think will only further tear our country apart speaker of the house nancy pelosi seems to be pouring cold water on the idea as well but she chooses her words very carefully take a listen when you go down a path like impeachment which is there if i said they could divide the country whatever decision we made in that regard would have to be done with our strongest possible hand the democrats have accused donald trump of being a criminal a traitor and a fascist they've got their supporters out for his blood but it looks like if they actually go for it this might backfire in the long term. are to see new york so

that brings you up to life and i will back again they would use you with the headlines more stories in about 35 minutes. well you know these are things we kind of adopted because we were called pirates long. i've been there in the small boats next to the hard pull of ships and you

carry. the little self to big talk fish already 90 percent of the dart gun and it won't because. you can't 50 scoops 75 tons to do it several times a day with. clete no you get an idea why. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be witness the deal going to get around. i'm doing this because i want them for the future world to the future generations to have and enjoy the ocean now we have.

and that is. the world. that's for sure so there's a lot on the course and i can do political know when it is it's always you know the false things that i just like your risk on that you can see a chum and you. know the bullets of them some of them some of the lessons there was enough to know something. that's a good video they took it to show them so instead i'm you seize on that you know sound a soft spot i'm not sleepy town this time i don't tough. need to promote. the only wonderful quality that they think the contin the political use of the police reports for the way. the police are.

you know world a big part of a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats 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. max kaiser this is the kaiser report you know. it's not about the titanic necessarily so more like the poseidon adventure remember that classic from the

seventy's everybody. they were going in the right direction but they're actually headed in the wrong direction. course stacy max i have this 1st little funny headline and you as a foreign broker should get my joy out of this because who is it something like i j.p. morgan had said you know markets can remain irrational for longer than you can remain solvent well here's a similar watch the world's most bearish hedge fund asks quote why people are not more bearish after tumbling 22 percent year to date this is horsemen global and they have massive short positions basically on the whole global economy and it's not going as badly as they think it should be in terms of the markets and they're down 22 percent and they were at a funny letter complaining it was genuine but they didn't mean to be funny but they were like we don't understand why people are more bearish now is the poseidon adventure so.
