making headlines today the u.s. continues its strong rhetoric now accusing to. oil facilities despite rebel saying they did it around the accusations. while washington stance on iran didn't soften even after a hawkish u.s. national security advisor john bolton was fired this week by donald trump. on the stories that shaped the week in american t.v. networks who is the top presenter of another channel for describing them as paid to russian propaganda we look at the track record of the m s n b c host in question when it comes to making claims about the crime.

stories from the past 7 days on right up to the moment about as well this is their weekly on our to international law and welcome u.s. secretary of state mike pompei accused iran of launching a quote unprecedented assault on the world's energy supply saying that iran is behind attacks on saudi arabia's oil production to run denies any involvement in the attack calling the u.s. i.q. stations a lie here's the exact wording from the u.s. . we call on all machines to publicly unequivocally condemn iran's attacks the united states will work with our partners and allies to ensure that energy markets remain well supplied and the run is held accountable for its aggression. having failed at max pressure secretary of state pompei is turning to max to seat the u.s.

and its clients are stuck in yemen because i'm allusion that weapon superiority will lead to military victory blaming iran won't end disaster excepting our april 15th proposal to end the war and begin talks may or the refining in saudi arabia has not been as a result of fires 2 major state run facilities eyewitnesses shared a video on social media of a huge blaze where gunshots can are partly be heard in the background the u.s. claims it was a result of drone strikes with one of them being launched from iraqi territory or by denies any possibility its territory or is used. earlier yemen hooty rebels claim responsibility for the point drones to attack the saudi oil processing facility and also a major oil field they say the strikes were in response to the saudi led war in yemen backed by the us washington has also previously charge their own with lending

support to the who takes. a professor of political science at the university of tehran believes those latest accusations from the us are most likely baseless how are my kind how has a very long history of making accusations without providing any actual evidence the hudes have already claimed responsibility for these attacks and although the scale of these attacks are on precedented we have to remember that the who t.f. have launched drone attacks deep inside saudi arabia for months now so i think there is no surprise there and the u.s. has accused iran of sending weaponry to the who t.f. but we also have to remember that yemen has been under a very sea year a military blockade by the saudis with the help actually of the americans for over 4 years now making it very difficult to even send food lead to loan weaponry so i think he's just trying to come up with excuses to charge iran of crimes that iran

has actually not committed so the vehement to run rhetoric from the u.s. continues even after all that to ron's most outspoken critics national security adviser john bolton was fired by president trump on choose the it was one of the big headlines of the week mr trump claimed he disagreed with both on several key foreign policy issues there's no word yet on just who will be the next national security adviser just john bolton though he is renaud known for his aggressive hawkish approach to foreign policy he supported the u.s. intervention in syria he was staunchly ago. the easing pressure on north korea and also adopted a tougher stance on iran cropping the nuclear deal that hawkins has been taking a closer look at his record. scandals resignations and dismissals are part and parcel of trump's presidency a few policy disagreements

a swift tweet from the presidents and another administration official bites the dust it was clear from the outset that trump and his national security advisor would have their disagreements i'm the one that tempers him but that's ok i have different sides i mean i have john bolton and i have other people that are a little more dovish than him and ultimately i make that decision we can speculate on which exact what will lead to bolton's exit the failed talks on afghanistan the question of rush hour or perhaps iran but it seems the animosity lasted until his final day in office i offered to resign last night and president trump said let's talk about it tomorrow i informed john bolton last night that his services are no longer needed at the white house i disagreed strongly with many of his suggestions as did others in the administration views himself as a skilled dealmaker who talked tough when needed for bolton but wasn't enough he needed to walk the walk and actively consistently show strength on all fronts the

middle east russia north korea latin america you name it he held out on compromising stance on sanctions military action and regime change. bolton was one of the key advocates of toppling the moderate government using any means necessary all options on the table ready to go this troika of tyranny this triangle of care stretching from havana to caracas to managua is the cause of immense human suffering this is a time for action. trump showed he was willing to meet to negotiate with even the greatest. u.s. adversities even if it meant just a symbolic photo op the right intentions seems to be their bet it will make it clear that they won't i don't like sanctions because in his country i think they want to make peace i think it's time for bolton though this was unacceptable so it

could be a long and unproductive meeting or it could be a short non productive meeting we have very much in mind the libyan model from 20032004 while bolton boiled that north korea had violated u.n. sanctions off the missile test and may trump downplayed the incident saying he wasn't spooked north korea fired off some small weapons which disturbed some of my people and others but not me. taking on iran was perhaps bolton's priority number one within a month of his appointment in april 28th in the u.s. have pulled out of the iran nuclear deal and advocate of preemptive strikes he pushed for military action against iran after a u.s. drone was brought down and as ever his thinly veiled threats centered around regime change we hope that these new measures directed at the arabian dictatorship will compel the government to re-evaluate its pursuit of terror at the expense of its

people well i think he is on the verge of making a mistake i think his advisors are pushing him in the wrong direction ironically just as bolton prepared to depart speculation has been rife on possible talks between trump and the rain in president rouhani it would have thought that possible after so much hostile rhetoric perhaps the final straw was trump's plans of wind down the longest war in u.s. history including hosting talks with taliban leaders at camp david it's speculated that bolton this was in comprehensible it seems that with or without bolton's presence u.s. foreign policy may have more surprises in store during trump's 1st. walk down the list speaking about is what we focus on a little bit later even though the u.s. shut down the hard brokered peace talks the afghan taliban still wants donald trump to get back to the negotiating table died in an exclusive interview with their the

go shooting team that's ahead this hour. senior u.s. journalists are once again finding over russia with one t.v. network suing the host of another for the scribing them paid russian propaganda are trying to break what we know. 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 bit freelon. worked 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.

1 turn out 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 in congress from the president conservative media supporters and also from the ongoing russian influence operation that is still around. what happened if russia killed the power in fargo today and what would happen if all the natural gas lines that surface and falls just goofed 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 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 molar 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 here really literally in that familiar voice.

i want to talk now about a mystery that has puzzled minds for the past 60 years in 1959 a group of salvias hikers in the. disappeared 9 bodies were eventually followed various theories. of past things via a special project launched by our video agency ruptly we chronicle the fateful incident. was a pretty extraordinary story and ripley's interactive project the laws you to follow

the hikers 10 day trek you can explore what the group did each day through photos. so what they wrote you'll also discover more about the unexplained injuries on the bodies on the various theories as to what exactly happened added to that you can also put yourself in the shoes of wall of the team members as they walk along the route and then vote on your suspected version of what happened after weighing up the evidence you're presented with. a lot of more potent is again the name being drawn into the crossfire of the u.s. presidential race but this time it's a blue blue assault democrats go after each other as we explore shortly.

you know world of big movies. 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 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. they put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. that's it right to be for us this is what the 3 of them can't be good. interested always in the.

city. hello again in an exclusive interview with r.t. the taliban urged trump to return to the negotiating table over the war in afghanistan they were in moscow for talks with russian officials this week after the us president shotgun a year long peace process with the militant group despite hopes that the negotiations might end almost 2 decades of conflict the taliban command were supposed to go to the united states before signing an agreement the deal was to include washington withdrawing troops in exchange for a commitment from the militants not terrorists. the whole trump justified ending

the go station citing an islamist attack in the afghan capital that resulted in the death of an american soldier that suicide car bombing killed 10 people into and injured dozens more it was one of 3 assaults claimed by the taliban in a 2 week period in addition to attacks which have taken place over the 12 months that the peace talks are ongoing or to ask the group how they expect trying to negotiate with them on the killing spree. the next day when minnesota he's going to cancel this. negotiation he mr bucket with his father is that he says he admitted that he had good $1000.00 well so if big dollars off us why we cannot get one of the or 2 of them know what is imposed on us. american soldiers don't want to it's not i would have made it to the soldiers are going to be in washington there

was one of us but still we. proposed and we were keen to bring peace and i want some to the question but unfortunately i need to which we've reached some sort of finality when it was canceled by the american side cites if the if the american side is not really and it was initially and did not want based on the dual saw all that we would be compared to defend ourselves it would never do this welcome to the is. i don't know the reason behind it maybe you can ask what happened but we are still committed to the league mission as we see the i want to stand on the sea from this time the commitment of this time is that they did this most of you should have fought off one conflict except it was she shouldn't and accept the peace on the table so we don't want to revitalize the hook did i just took down. his. spirit in

he come back to where we were. just. after the fact you can be attributed to. a topic it seems that most u.s. politicians are agreeing no though fracking with increasing numbers calling for the process to be completely and now fracking involves drilling deep into the ground to recover or oil natural gas critics claim it's dangerous and bad for the environment to help us democrats share those fears to kill up in reports the usa is now the world's top the oil exporting country check out these words from the international energy agency booming shale production has allowed the u.s. to close in on and briefly overtake saudi arabia as the world's top oil exporter president trump says that this is a huge achievement he's ready to celebrate success becoming more and more energy

dominant i don't want to be energy free we want to be energy dominant in terms of the world but not everyone shares donald trump's energy market enthusiasm in fact most of the people who want to run against him in the 2020 alexion want to outlaw the practice of hydraulic fracking that's the reason the usa has so much oil and gas any proposal to avert the climate crisis must include a full fracking 5 ban on public and private lands. on my 1st day as president i will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on own you fossil fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands and i will ban fracking everywhere it's not just the left progressives you've got the centrist come all the harris there's no question i'm in favor of banning fracking so at this point roughly 59 percent of america's oil is extracted from the shale so if you outlawed the practice of hydraulic fracking you would knock down the oil sector of the u.s. economy pretty hard the same for natural gas now check out this headline. kremlin

kemal or harris and other democrats are embracing vladimir putin's preferred u.s. energy policy the new conspiracy theory even went viral on twitter many in fracking and use of natural gas would do more damage to america and make lead to more prudent heavier than anything donald trump has ever said or done so good job democrats you're being pro russia and program wind by wanting to ban natural gas of course the senator isn't the only 2020 democrat calling for this from russia with love ban on fracking the most reliable of k.g.b. useful idiots bernie sanders is even clearer that this notion that opposition to hydraulic fracking is all a big plot from moscow is nothing new in fact we've even heard it from the halls of the u.s. congress we have seen evidence of campaigns targeting i recall her and energy as 2 to. industries of interest to foreign powers on energy we've seen anti fracking

narratives so it seems like nowadays the only way to really play it safe in american politics is to find out what the why we're putting once and do the exact opposite sell let's hope that the russian president doesn't talk about say fixing up america's crumbling roads and bridges or addressing the opioid epidemic mopp and r.t. new york. before it's even been released hollywood's latest comic book movie is facing a backlash it's been accused of glorifying violence. the joker starring joaquin phoenix documents the early years of the villain from the bottom up from chilis shows him as a loner who descends into not this it's not yet on public release but a screening at the venice film festival is called people arguing online with many

saying it encourages viewers to sympathize with problematic things i don't want to have sympathy for a man best known for his robbery murder and arguably rape shoved down my throat for 2 hours it was not that long ago when a socially isolated discretion tilled white man who felt wronged by society quite literally dressed up as a joker and shot up a movie theater in colorado joke of a film where you're supposed to sympathize with the mediocre white man radicalising to do range violence will no doubt be appealing to the wrong audience for the worst reasons. millions of children will see the upcoming film joker to life a clone millions of children will be taught that crime violence and mayhem the stuff of jokes when who how would seek responsibility for promoting you culture of crime we spoke to a filmmaker who believes that censorship should be allowed resorts. the problem

with criticizing a film before it comes out for what it's supposed to say is that we're starting to as a lot of people like to do in this country self censor art and creative expressions of art and i have a big issue with that pure and simply because it's really difficult to comment on something that you've not seen and if you're already saying that something is going to be the way you think it's going to be and you don't want to see it then we have a problem we have a problem that we have in this country with the polarization at a political level at a cultural level we don't want to see what we think is going to be different from what we think about what we support i don't think that video games or movies will encourage people to to commit acts of violence i think the issue is at the source of education of many things that are going on in this country when it comes to mass

shootings and violence i think entertainment if something is an expression of something that is happening in this society that we need to deal with and it's a reminder that there is a lot of issues that are not dealt with and i feel that a lot of people like to put those issues under the carpet instead of dealing with them head on. we're looking for it now but do stay with us because a west african nation is fighting back some would say in an extreme way against mora telling poachers in their waters the sun if you think god is right in their choice of actions next in sea life savers. on.

today there are good terrorists and bad evidence the bad terrorists and those in yemen who the united states deems to be a threat the looked at those who work in syria the cia and the u.s. military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right with military windows funding an army of death squads there's no. more because there's always a small. cut of. the profit. the world is driven by shaped by one person.

the day or thinks. week day or 2. ask. they all see themselves as dying swans in their dreams. but only one in a 1000 will ever make it to the top. they're ready to give their lives for the chance to die on stage if only once. not even broken wings can deter them. for generations at the madrid ski theatre
