theories as to just what happened. you're watching our 2 international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. 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 a 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 having a bag with a decent jab well oh a ad 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 carry out. about to find out if the new president of our country is going to do what russia wants. i was under attack from the president and the presidents republican supporters in congress and the president conservative media supporters and also from the ongoing russian influence operation that is still around. what would happen 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 coldest day 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 one 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 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. 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 their coverage that you spoke with my colleague 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 theocratic 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 max blumenthal and running khalik travel to 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 where journalists from c.n.n. and the intercept who accuse them of white washing and government support here are some of their reactions this is some goebbels prancing around syrian government luxury tour posi tourist photos sentence and 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 iranian 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 of 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 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 the discussion tree by participating in the war and i repeat i was against it because you see here we were trading these 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 no a decade later when the americans government of honest on the same groups were all in pakistan 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 turned against us so we you know we lost 70000 people we've lost. 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 touches on a wide variety 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 helped him in politics you can watch that on friday on our channel or at r.t. dot com. there is a story of what happened to a group of soviet hikers in the early mountains back in 1959 is still puzzling minds today and now you too can explore the various theories surrounding the deal out of past incidents thanks to a special project launched by our teams video agency replica.

just to. your glory glory. 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 themselves and 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 renewable energy could threaten the country's power supply story and more after the break. you know world's big partners. a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter 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 troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race is also a spear in dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. and. welcome back the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is visiting russia to meet with a lot of our putin that's ahead of sample actions back at home on tuesday there's speculation one reason for his visit is to appeal to russian speaking voters who himself though side of the need to discuss cooperation with moscow and syria. this

is a very important trip at this time and 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 goals that we agree on which is yet to be achieved and is far from being achieved the withdrawal of iran from syria. where if a national reports now from where the 2 leaders will be meeting. we know all of us journalists boarding the bus to go to by china for the presidential black sea dacha and summer residence although it's a plumber now look we can still hold all the important meetings and takes over there it's wrong one hour drive from the city of sochi. all together. told us the high security saying

we always come in advance well in advance to have time enough for security procedures called terminus i gather the weather they call it. the residence hides behind his iron gate very cold shoulder a chance to sit to be cameras everywhere and we already met up with on the guards and clearly we're not allowed to film here. the residents sits in a very green picturesque area on the black sea coast and the atmosphere here is much more relaxed than in the kremlin in moscow but don't be mistaking very important meetings have been held here and very important decisions have been made . much out of a russian for stream is quite old and has seen many soviet leaders starting to keep up the joke on the night before it became the residence for the russian president

this is the main building side entrance. he's for us but journalists let's go. to. this point spacious inside journalists cameramen and recorders we can all hear all of these comfortable leather chairs and the reason the press center over there let's go. behind these doors these we have like reportedly t.c.p. ip guests we journalists are only invited there when the meeting is over. but old journalists favorite place is out there. which is cafeteria for us this is where we can find all our colleagues which is why press center with m.t.v. .

and all the decision makers of somewhere there behind closed doors to make decisions journalists mission was to wait. and wait and wait. for. 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 in front of car bosses at a motor show. listen yes we must reduce transport produce fuel to emissions by 40 percent that's our twenty's go to target so you can electro mobility though is just as worth a try 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 are 2030 the chancellor's speech came a day after she use a key budget debate to call for more action on climate change but some experts warn that more regulation could put europe's biggest economy in reverse artist 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's well spent if we are going or if i think it will cost us more money that's the truth doing nothing is no alternative the fact is that we will then pay more for 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 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 steam industrialization program combined with variable 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 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 the situation is very ridiculous i mean they made a big fos last year for $2200.00 hectares of forest for a coal mine in 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 oh 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 and threatening level instead of using petrol or diesel will basically use coal even if we're literally powered and in the worst case we'll even use lead night that takes the 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. safe on energy supply and everything everybody's used to energy is always available but with getting more and more of it 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 column 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 approved rules to be used in the impeachment investigation of donald trump however the whole probe isn't focused on whether the president should be ousted or not rather the committee is trying to investigate if impeachment articles should even be recommended in trump's case republican members of the house furiously and announce the move. when inquiry some in the media is saying it's hard to know what we're doing here and that's exactly what i want to know so hearing about whether or not we have people come and give testimony afterwards the president can write us or a letter in response this is more about defining our pen pal strategy for all of us covering this this is not anything special investigation that's already been completed bob muller hearing a song that was a flop if the majority wants to exercise the house's power of impeachment all you've got to do is ask house to do so impeachment resolution could not pass the

full house so this committee is trying to have its cake and eat it too you want to give the illusion of impeachment the reality of it i want to go a long time to be able to say this welcome to fantasy. supporters of the probe hope it will strengthen their chances of gathering key evidence against the president on allegations of corruption and obstruction of justice but democrats have been sending mixed signals since the special counsel robert muller didn't find trump guilty and has more democrats seem to be rolling ahead with their efforts to remove donald trump from office the house judiciary committee 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 it had been in korea in search of something to impeach

president trump over so we've got 134 democrats voting to begin an impeachment inquiry what 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 who's investigating to determine whether a not to those should be an impeachment investigation so why might the democrats seem to be a little bit reluctant whelan 2020 it's not just the presidential race but there's also some a local elections and it seems like impeaching tromp isn't the best vote getter whole show that 72 percent of democrats favor impeaching donald trump but for the country over all 59 percent oppose now that seems like bad news for the new progressive socialist wing of the democrats that seem to it beth their entire house on it remember this we're going to go i near renewed the east the mother from

poured love it if the different democrats tried to impeach him it's a kind a battle he loves the public is totally turned off it's not following this ready controversy at all so i think it would definitely play in the tromps ands it'll do the democrats very little good in the and than 2020 alexion and probably will actually wind up back firing they virtually impossible if he could be convicted in the senate and remove 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 us 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 of vote among the senators and the democrats don't come anywhere near that so what would the charges being 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 the 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. hard see new york

that's a global news break time for this hour and that's all for me as well today but we're not neil harvey will be taking over and about 30 minutes thanks for tuning in wherever you may be. the best in the 1920 s. there were no laws really on wall street and the abuses were huge and the market won by 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 they just become speculators and so this is what happened now people are saying look the economy the real economy is terrible are beyond the 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 a piece. greetings

and sell you to. 18 years ago when the people tuesday morning in september the united states of america took its 1st step forward and group future of the when he saw it coming with you imagine good to place the country was forever changed by a hijacked jets and. admin by anthrax letters and box cutters the united states was changed by our thirst for vengeance gone was our principles gone was our morality gone was our reason our 1st step forward into the post 911 world was not one based on justice self reflection or true morning instead our 1st step was one built on revenge hubris and insecurity 3 sins that even today we are still playing on our fiddles even though they continue to burn down our foreign policy constitution and national character but now 18 years later there is finally some glimmers of hope on

wednesday september 4th just one week before the 18th anniversary of the 911 attacks the united states spread rule judge declared that the terrorist screening database better known as the terror watch list was indeed unconstitutional the ruling sprang from a lawsuit brought forward by a group of 23 americans represented by the council on american islamic relations who filed a lawsuit charging that their inclusion on the watch list violated their right to due process in its 32 page ruling federal judge anthony trengove wrote that the court concludes that the risk of erroneous deprivation of plaintiff's travel related and reputational liberty interest is high and the currently existing procedural safeguards are not sufficient to address that risk. so today in the 18 year shadow of 911 let's examine this a stark decision as well as other important 911 court cases as we start watching the whole. coupon deal with.
