a group of hikers in the mountains 60 years ago which spawned countless theories as to just what happened. very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our teached you in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. senior u.s. journalists are once again fighting over russia with one t.v. network now suing the host of another for describing them as paid russian propaganda has 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 back with a decent jab well oh a ed is filing a defamation lawsuit they want 10000000 bucks one america is wholly owned 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 did 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. talk about to find out if the new president of our country is going to do what russia. is under attack from the president and the president republican supporters in congress and the president conservative media supporters and also from the ongoing russian influence operation that just. all around. but not if russia killed the power in fargo today and what would happen if all the natural gas lines that surface and falls just 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 gave 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 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. a visit by independent american journalists to syria has sparked outrage from parts of the media after they traveled to government held areas to assess the country's recovery teams spoke with my colleague neil harvey. i'm staying in the old city of damascus by the eastern gate of bob sharkey and i walked across the street across a 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 fear 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 was 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 women fall and running colic travel to the capital damascus with the aim of speaking to locals and observing serious recovery from terrorists and they say they received no funding from the country's government among those angered by the visit were journalists from c.n.n. and the intercept who accused them of white washing and government support here some of their reactions this is some goebbels prancing around syrian government

luxury tour posi tourist photos. and look the syrian refugees who can never return to their country with their fish can be tortured to death started to read a certain journalist's thread from inside damascus this am then found myself getting pell potations which progressed into spasms of rage how can anyone be so blindly credulous on the cossack's involved 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 the amount. 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 a 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 coordinated 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 launched in response to the 911 attacks 18 years ago changed not just america but the whole world that's according to pakistan's prime minister imran khan in an exclusive interview with r.t. here's some of what he had to say. well had we not participated in the american war you know after 911 we would not have been the words to risk a tree by participating in the war and i repeat i was against it because you see. we were trading these mujahedeen people to do a job against the soviet when they occupied afghanistan so these people were trained by pakistan funded by the american cia and no a decade later when the americans come in to of honest on the same groups all in pakistan supposed to say that because the americans are there it's no longer

a 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 you know as i said over 100000000000 dollars 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 touches on a wide variety of topics from a tensional nuclear war between india and pakistan to the prime minister's past as a successful cricketer and what aspects of the sport helped him and politics you can watch that on friday on our channel as well as at r.t. dot com. the mystery of what happened to a group of soviet hikers in the euro mountains back in 1959 is still puzzling minds today and now you too can explore the various theories surrounding the di out love

past incident thanks to a special project launched by our teams video agency ruptly. the project allows you to follow their 10 day trek for each day you can explore what the group did via photos and maps and also what they wrote you also discover more about the unexplained injuries on the bodies and the various theories as to what exactly happened but it's all about interaction as well you can put yourself into the shoes of one of the team members as they walk along the route and then vote on your preferred version of what happened after weighing up the evidence.

still to come in the program experts warn germany's push for more where newble energy could threaten the country's power supply that story and more after the break. is the mostly the 1920 s. you know there were no laws really on wall street and the abuses were huge and the market one way 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 do they quit their jobs to just become speculators and so this is what happened now people are saying look the economy the real economy is terrible to be on the job

they've been shipped overseas and i'm nothing left of the day trading and the market goes up therefore i'm being productive but it's obvious. the world is driven by shaped by one person or those. thinks. we dare to ask. welcome back israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who is visiting russia to meet with latimer putin as head of snap elections back at home on tuesday there's

speculation one reason for his visit is to appeal to russian speaking voters you know who himself though side of the need to discuss cooperation with moscow in syria. this is a very important trip at this time while we are operating on several fronts $360.00 degrees this trip is designed to continue this important cooperation which prevents collisions between us and the russian forces and to continue to advance the common goal that we agree on which is yet to be achieved and is far from being achieved the withdrawal of iran from syria. artist maria financial reports now on what else could be on the agenda of the 2 leaders meet. benjamin netanyahu visits russia's black sea resort of sochi while fighting fear is real action complain at home many say meeting was more important here man tracked russian speaking and pro russian voters this will be their 3rd this year alone and their 13th meeting in the last 4

years making putin the leader benjamin netanyahu has met more than any other leader during this time syria will be high on the agenda during talks between netanyahu and putin in particular iran's activity there and russian israel you coordination on the ground but has become possible and is successful due to mutual respect and openness in their relations as the israeli prime minister put it ahead of his visit here back in 2015 to. set up a special mechanism to avoid accidental questions between the 2 motors on the ground in syria the prime minister is bringing his national security adviser and the head of military intelligence here to meet russia's defense minister said again before making an old this is happening just days before russia iran turkey very important summit on syria next week in and around but all those 7 strong and long

the relations between israel and russia are far from ideal and some disagreements of course will be discussed here as well as the u.s. was this of comes just days after the israeli prime minister's controversial promise to annex occupied territories in the west bank if he's reelected next week it's already hall basically infuriated palestinians who say that would as good as any chance of peace in that region but is has also brought criticism from the international community including from moscow that fears this move will lead to dramatic escalation in the region so it is a sunny beautiful day here in sochi but the pop. titian's will unlikely have time to enjoy the weather all that town with a series of very important meetings and extensive talks. a dramatic reduction in carbon emissions and more energy from renewable sources that's what angela merkel

wants for the future and she's outlined germany's targets and front of car bosses at a major motor show listen yes we must reduce transport produce c o 2 emissions by 40 percent that's how twenty's go to target them electrum ability though is just as a truck for the future because cars will only be genuinely climate friendly once a look to cities comes from renewable sources but we want 65 percent of our electricity supply to come from renewables by 2030 the chancellor's speech came a day after she used a key budget debate call for more action on climate change but some experts warn that more regulation could put europe's biggest economy in reverse artist all quarter takes a look at the gloomy forecast. 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 is industrialized countries also need to be on the front line in terms of doing something to overcome our carbon footprint and stop changes

in the climate reverse the rise in temperature if we push for climate protection it will cost money this money is well spent if we are going or if i think it will cost us more money that's the truth do nothing is no alternative the fact is that we will then pay more on. 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 influence a 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 steel industry nation 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 and the government has imported energy from neighboring countries to avoid blackouts and just to balance 2900 and. 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 fos 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 and you know it doesn't matter human beings nature animals and the 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 and 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 lignite but 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 german economy germany was a very. it's a fun energy supply and everything everybody is used to energy is always available but with getting more and more of the mills 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 the wood to unlimited. top u.s. lawmakers have voted on important elements of the impeachment investigation surrounding donald trump the 41 c. panel has not been voting on impeachment itself but on the parameters of the investigation supporters of the probe hope it will strengthen their chances of gathering key evidence against the president on the allegations of corruption and obstruction of justice but democrats have been sending mixed signals and explains.

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 trump 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 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 continue 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 caleb mop and ard see new york. that's a global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our website r.t. dot com for the details on all those stories and many mark. pain
