making headlines today in the u.s. continues its strong rhetoric now accusing toronto of attacking the oil facilities despite the rebels saying they did it. as a lie. while washington stance on the wrong didn't soften even after u.s. national security advisor john bolton was fired this week by donald trump. also in a story that shaped the week an american t.v. network presenter although another channel describing them as paid russian propaganda we look at the track record of the most in question when it comes to making claims about the crime.

that we can hear a lot international with me in india today live. this is all round up of the top stories from the last 7 days in the latest up to date news welcome to the program u.s. secretary of state mike pompei or has accused iran of launching a quote precedented assault on the world's energy supply saying that iran is behind tacks on saudi arabia's old production tehran denies any involvement in the attack calling the u.s. accusations a lie here's the exact wording from the u.s. we call on all nations to publicly and unequivocally condemn iran's attacks the united states without partners and allies to ensure that energy markets remain well supplied and iran 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 except in our april 15th proposal to end the war and begin talks may or filing in saudi arabia has now been hot as a result of fires at 2 major state run facilities eyewitnesses showed a video on social media of a huge blaze where gunshots can apparently 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 while baghdad denies any possibility is territory was used earlier yemen's who the rebels claimed responsibility for deploying trends to attack that society or processing facility and also a major or field they say the strikes were in response to the saudi led war in yemen backed by the u.s. washington has also previously charge iran with lending support to the what these had miss r.v. professor of political science at the university of tehran believes these latest

accusations from the u.s. are most likely baseless. i want my point has a very long history of making accusations without providing any actual evidence who deserve already claimed responsibility for these attacks and although the scale of these attacks are on precedented we have to remember that the hutus have launched drone attacks deep inside saudi arabia for months now so i think there's no surprise there and the u.s. has accused iran of sending weaponry to the hutus 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 you on of crimes that iran is actually not committed so the vehement anti iran rhetoric from the u.s. continuing its even after one of trance most outspoken critics national security

adviser john bolton the fired by president trump on tuesday it was one of the big headlines of the week mr trump claimed he disagreed with bolton on several key foreign policy issues there's no word yet on who will be the next national security advisor john bolton is renowned for his aggressive hawkish approach to foreign policy he supported the u.s. intervention in syria and was staunchly against easing pressure on north korea he also adopted a tough stance on iran and backed wrapping 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 president's administration official bites the dust it was clear from the outset but trump on his national security advisor would have disagreements i'm the one that tempers him but that's ok i have different shots i

mean i have john gottman 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 chair 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 perceived u.s. adversities even if it meant just for 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 on 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 libya model from 20032004 while bolton boiled that north korea had violated u.n. sanctions after a missile test and may trump downplayed the incident saying he wasn't spooked nor.

with 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 us had 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 rein in president rouhani it would have thought that possible

after so much hostile rhetoric perhaps the final straw was trump's plan to 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. and that latter aspect of dan's piece is what we're focusing on later on in the program even though the u.s. shut down the heartbroken peace talks the afghan taliban still wants donald trump to get back to the negotiating table as found in an exclusive interview with a negotiating team is ahead his whole family. now a senior u.s. journalist i once again fighting over russia with one t.v. network now saying the host of another for describing them as paid russian propaganda. that's the story. here comes

a familiar voice which becomes even more familiar if we hear words like russia or russian the most obsequiously pro 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 miss 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 did freelance work for a russian based news agency sport nick she got him busted. soledad 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. are 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 presidents republican supporters and congress from the president conservative media supporters and also from the ongoing russian influence operation that is still around. but what happened if russia

killed the power in fargo today what would happen if all the natural gas lines that surface and falls just poofter 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 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 what i mentioned nothing's does. cited yet but probably even more people will think twice next year really literally in that familiar voice. mystery that has puzzled minds for the past 60 years in 1059 a group of soviet hikers in the ural mountains disappeared 9 bodies that were eventually found the we surround the past deaths and now via a special project launched by a video. we chronicled the fateful incident. interactive

project allows you to follow the hikers 10 day trek you can explore what they did each day through 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 added to that you can put yourself into the shoes of one of the team members as they walk along the route and then suspected version of what happened after weighing up the evidence you're presented with.

we'll be back after this break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and. we want a catalan republic because we think it would be geared to our people and we want to

contribute to the welfare of europe into the european values of democracy of equality of dialogue of peace and we think that we are ready to contribute. to this new europe but part of the european community. what's the problem why can't we accept that possibility were sent. to the program in an exclusive interview with r.t. the taliban has to return to the negotiating table over the war in afghanistan there were talks with russian officials this week after the us president shut down a year long peace process with the militant group despite hopes that the negotiations might and almost 2 decades of conflict the taliban posed 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 to shelter terrorists justified ending the negotiations citing an islamist attack in the afghan capital that resulted in the death of an american soldier that suicide car bombing killed 10 people in total. was one of 3 assaults claimed by the taleban in a 2 week period in additional 2 attacks which a taken place have at the 12th length of a peace talks well coming on auty is also the grape had they expect chum to negotiate with them while that killing his streams the next deal with in minnesota talker trance of this is a negotiation he in mr buffett will his their father is that of he says he admitted that if you have good doesn't other well so if dig killer dozers off us way we can not kill you one of that war blogger though what is imposed on us it is american

soldiers there in of want to stop it's not i will emit it or soldiers are would really really and worshiped or the ark there are there with was what i must but still we propose in be i would keen to break be set up want to some to negotiation but after that i'm for to believe i need to which we least some sort of flow fidelity very it was cancer but of the american side it cites f. do if the american side it is not really and it was usually in did not want based on the do it will so all did we would be compared to different our civil ever live or to do this welcome to be is i do know that that is them behind it we be you can us their work work how can but if we are still committed to the negotiations reese the the or i would stand our only see from this study camilla kind of of this not is that they did is no solution for of want conflict except it was shisha and and except the piece on the table so we

don't want to revitalize we hook dead to the i was stuck down his nose married in he come back to where i want to be work be just the side of their with doubt after that we and back to give the of jimmy to go to a topic it seems that most u.s. politicians are agreeing on now fracking with increasing numbers calling for the process to be completely by a and fracking galls drilling a deep into the ground to cover or the natural gas or ticks claim is dangerous and bad for the environment and top u.s. democrats shadows face to as caleb moore pin 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 give you 31 of the 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 ban on public and private lands on my 1st day as president i will sign an executive order that puts a total maria tarm 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 kemal a 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 them or putin happier than anything donald trump has ever said or done so good job democrats your being pro russia pro putin and broke 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 agriculture and energy as to

2. 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 do we are putting once and do the exact opposite so 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 mop 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 chloroform violence. the joker starring joaquin phoenix documents the early years of the villain from the batman franchise and shows him as a loner who descends into madness is not yet on public release but

a screaming at the venice film festival people are going online with many saying it encourages viewers to sympathize with problematic. 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 described chilled 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 a 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 laugh at a clown millions of children will be taught that crime violence and mayhem that the stuff of jokes one will howl with take responsibility for promoting a culture of crime respect a filmmaker who believes that censorship should be

a last resort. 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 pure is 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 the 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 role 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 as 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. the us budget deficit is expected to hit one trillion dollars next year and questions are being raised over how american taxpayer money is being used and even ports by a kentucky senator has highlighted some of the movie saw examples of government spending.
