to human rights and democracy is really a good move so what we hope is full will lead to errors and country i want a world actually is getting worse well it just is a problem in student activists who organizes protests against the chinese government in support of hong kong's independence the 22 year old is also a leader of a pro-democracy party system he's already also served several jail terms for his activities let's go over to our other news wall to see how mr wong is visit to new york over the weekend drew huge attention from the media the reuters news agency new york times bloomberg are among those who asked for an interview or invited him to their offices he also gave a speech to students at the prestigious columbia university one has long supported the hong kong human rights and democracy act and recently said he expects it to be

passed easily the bill proposes support for hong kong from the u.s. so long as a remains governed at arm's length from beijing that could trigger washington to revoke the city's special status at the talks us through. they are many they've won the fight with the authorities by early submission but they are anything but done the american flag waving taskforce among the hong kong protesters are sending their poster boy to convince us legislators to do something big on autonomy. well for those of you having difficulty making out the absence of this boilerplate script it's that human rights and democracy act and it's meant to shill big ging that the us is serious about fighting for hong kong's rights the united states must

make clear to china that its interference in hong kong's affairs will have consequences this month we must pass a by cameron bipartisan on consumer rights and democracy act the bill was devised in response to what the u.s. has been calling a chinese infringement on the region's autonomy and requires for america to review own homes special status annually and if that status is ever revoked the region's autonomy would not so much be infringed but rather new to dust since the early ninety's hong kong has been enjoying huge advantages for wearing washington's special status badge. and some believe that a small yet vocal group of protesters is laying an explosive tripwire for the whole

region which will not enjoy the konami chain reaction if it's ever triggered in a way that is they've just signal the biggest orderly in the world without us this city will always just ordered. it was going to hold a great deal but it's not just the whole portly there are thousands all. these companies and it would likewise be affected of course it's going to hurt because. it calls only or percent of charlus the problem he was the. head of the immediate call to all moral as far as equality is also. but isn't but on the other hand of course we lost i wish the one concludes this is the sea so as to help with the internationalization that remain ready with. all

american legislators see the bill is designed to punish mainland china specifically as protesters want. but while the end goal may very well be punishing beijing in pursuit of a geo political supremacy washington my just overlook the collateral damage. fighting racism is a touchstone topic for us democrat joe biden's push for the white house now on sunday he gave an impassioned speech at a black church but a few days earlier out a presidential debate when pressed on segregation the legacy of slavery to he switched to lecture african americans and how they should bring up their children and explains how biden's been caught ive before crossing the line from empathy to condensation. joe biden formally the vice president is now running in the democratic primary enjoys a huge amount of support from the african-american voters and he wants them to know

he really cares about them what responsibility do you think that americans need to take to repair the legacy of slavery in our country make sure that we bring into the help to this to the teachers deal with the problems that come from home we bring social workers into homes and parents to help them deal with how to raise their children it's not that they don't want to help they don't want they don't know quite what to do play the radio make sure the television the scrutiny make sure you have the record player on the phone make sure the kids hear words a kid coming from a very poor school or a very poor background who hear 4000000 words fewer spoken by the time they get there the record player now he seems a couple decades behind on modern technology but it's also a tad bit condescending don't you think now some are calling it parent shaming biden is the liberal racist why dems better start calling this out because black women are watching if joe biden isn't forced out of the running now i give up 1st

he looks into the camera and laughs at the mention of racial inequality in us schools and we could racists that he describes black home life and parenting in a way that is stunningly ignorant and insulting drew biden's son on how to address the literacy of slavery was appalling and to scorn now this isn't the 1st time that joe is flubbed an answer when it comes to a racial issue he made some remarks when barack obama was selected as the democratic party candidate in 2008 that he probably meant to sound like a compliment i mean you get the 1st mainstream african-american who's are to cool it and bright and clean and a nice looking guy joe biden's comments point to an increasing phenomenon in us society being referred to as a liberal racism. joe biden is not burning a cross or arguing that non-whites are inferior but he does seem to have a touch of a white savior complex he comes across as condescending to those he thinks he's

helping a study refers to it as a competence downshift and joe biden is not the only one what liberals may unwittingly draw negative stereotypes demean themselves down in a largely well meaning folksy but ultimately patronize ing attempt to connect with the outgroup democratic party is pretty put on our list economy you can look you see all her policies from the welfare state to dave put into place to live thinks that blacks generally aren't as smart as whites and really would have pointed to is the democrats projecting a lot of their own insecurities upon everyone knows do say everyone is races everyone is it seems everyone is all those days and if they are when it's really them they feel that way and it's trying to say that it's the other side actually feels that way for decades the democratic party has been promising to help minorities in the united states but do party leaders actually see them as equal members of society well joe biden's recent comments have got plenty of people asking that question caleb oppen r.t.

new york. ok turn of the story we are closely following today israel is currently deciding the fate of incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu in an unprecedented repeats parliamentary election he's locked in a tight contest with centrist rival benny gantz artie's polis leader spoke to the program earlier from jerusalem. well known political parties are expected to be part of the next israeli parliament all the israeli knesset and the competition here really boils down to 2 men the incumbent prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his right wing likud party and his former defense chief benny guns and his small same to lift blue and white party not as the same scenario 6 months ago when we had the previous elections which netanyahu won but despite winning them he was unable to form a majority $61.00 mandates out of $128.00 parliament seats many suspect that the same scenario could unfold and so regardless of whether it's guns or whether it's

the time we are who we might have a son arya and it's increasingly likely that nigel's able to form a majority government or so give me some more ideas. as we're doing to boost his support base of like well like any politician that's fighting for his political survival netanyahu has been making a lot of promises the most recent of which is that he said should he be reelected he will and makes west bank settlements and the dog in valley and for anyone who thought that the peace process between israelis and palestinians wasn't already did this certainly was the last nail in the coffin he has also started negotiating a u. s. israel defense treaty i had a call with prime minister netanyahu to discuss the possibility of moving forward with a mutual defense treaty between the united states and israel that would further the tremendous alliance between our 2 countries thank you my dear friend president trump the jewish state has never had a greater friend in the white house the american president donald trump has been

playing an enormous role in the israeli elections back in april just before the previous elections he made the bold statement that the americans recognize the israeli hold over the golan heights and this is despite the fact that a contravenes international law and has remained a contentious issue ever since the heights were taken over by israel from syria back in 1967 in a moment i will sign a presidential proclamation recognizing. israel's sovereign right over the golan heights netanyahu has been using trump in his election campaign you just need to drive down any street in this country and you see both leaders beaming from election posters on any of the main streets in israel a political analyst earns on average around $180000.00 salary a year and yet the support that netanyahu gets from trump which is so much bigger is essentially priceless should this country head to a 30 lection which is what many here suspect and fear the question is just what else is trump going to promise in the 10 yahoo. or israel's parliament the knesset

dissolved itself in may after mr whose failure to form a coalition i would on for quite some time and also disputes on the growing influence of the ultra orthodox jewish minority another big issue that let's go through it the military draft privileges to the minority really has become a stumbling block turning into a bar for netanyahu is chances of forming a coalition with the nation's former defense and foreign minister while the incumbent pm has quite heavily relied on the endorsement of the ultra orthodox community of the door lieberman has been an outspoken opponent of the advantages they've been receiving.

the ultra orthodox establishment have a very strong hold of the israeli politics in israeli government and i think it affects our lives. that the orthodox make their own rules i they want to make themselves different from the other people i don't think there are affected too much stuff from probably things like. public transportation in israel in in saturday i don't have buses instead on saturdays i want to go to the beach and the laws that they try to pass have not. according to my opinions but we should accept them as well as much as we accept are their laws from other communities i truly believe in diversity but still i think

they should live their lives and wishes we supposed to live our lives. i mean more still the coming sooting it's been revealed our website for a british muslim teams are actually being part funded by the government we look at how it's leading to accusations of suspicious social engineering after great. thank. where were you so summer 3rd. 2009. that's a question they'll be asking kids and grandkids for years to come about was the 1st episode of the cars a report yes 10 years ago because a report began broadcasting all over the world under the country's billions of people. the world is driven by shaped.

thinks. we are here to ask. your back with r t international taliban militants say they're behind 2 deadly bombings enough gallus them which killed dozens this choose the one explosion took

place near the u.s. embassy in the capital kabul reportedly killing at least 3 people shortly before a suicide bomber struck a campaign rally for the afghan president in the northern part province a very deadly incident this appointee 24 people lost their lives there dozens injured as well the taliban had threatened to increase attacks on afghan forces on their western buckers after peace talks failed with the u.s. based journalist phasey reports. so i spoke to the a lot of this folks. 1st an officer forgot 5 he is said to use weather and he was unhurt but the expectations were high because the stronghold of the biggest u.s. bases in but for all that sounds very close to the capital kabul and the expectations were like the security must be very tight but still there was a guy that's in suicide bomber used them tonight and killed so many people the look of prevention the governor office this spokesperson said the 2 side bomber was

riding a motorbike and detonated his explosives at the for the 1st checkpoint to where the rally was taking place on the other hand there was another explosion in the capital kabul ministry of interior confirmed the explosion that took place nearby the u.s. embassy also there is a ministry of defense facility actually the explosion took place right out the gate off the the emotive facility or industry of defense facility we do know that the taliban have warned people not to participate in the elections are not to recognize this government as a legitimate government both on and also the government they have increased their operations against each other. a lifestyle website for british muslim teens has become an unlikely flashpoint it's been revealed left the home office has been covertly funding it as part of a country extremism strategy

a move that's infuriated employees readers on the wider muslim community there. if you're a young muslim woman living in the u.k. then this is the website you at least that's what the creators want you to believe . this is a global media platform for young muslim ours in the east london and beyond to share and create inspiring and empowering content with positivity at its core inspiring but now it's been exposed after it was revealed that the site is being funded covertly by the u.k. home office in an attempt to tackle radicalization and now 2 employees have resigned over the controversial funding one of them says working the betrayed her believes. in my naivety here so that through this opportunity our super assistance i really could help to make real change pushing forward a different narrative from muslim women themselves sure when though we are empowered and multi-faceted are realized now there with the home office funding the project the route there was no way i could do this regardless of the content i was

pushing out while the project was set up in 2015 in direct response to 3 approaches schoolgirls including the baker running away to syria and whether they flee from london the very same place super sisters is targeting now it's made up of 9 staff members from jayco media and they secured their funding from something called build a stronger britain together which is an arm of the controversial terrorism. which has been accused of targeting and spying on within communities in the u.k. now while many see that as a fundamental infringement of rights the home office has always defended its efficiency while super says this has like notion apologize for their wrongdoing they insist that they have full control over their content. we want to emphasize that even though b. s.b.c. may funders they do not have any creative control over super systems content where we acknowledge we were wrong and we apologize for it is not more clearly stating the source of funding on the super sisters instagram blog not just our website we have always been clear and transparent to the interview stage on how we often did

including at sub hours interview at least that's what they say but so biased male a former employee says that there were no female muslims on the creative or editorial team plus she was only recently made aware of the controversial funding well it's left some people very angry and hurt by the revelations these revelations are shocking former contributors have claimed that in one point there were no muslim women employed by g.e. go where you know they did toral for super sisters if i was a teenage muslim in today's environment i would be utterly confused and feel like i was constantly being spied upon by my own government. not setup by muslims not run by muslims you're trying to define young muslim women's identity thank you but muslim women can speak for themselves well suppose this is just the latest platform to be embroiled in a transparency route just a few weeks ago a social media network team called this is woke

a page claiming to engage in critical thinking and muslim traditions was found to be receiving funding from you guessed it the home office or the problem is 1st of all the home office seems to the only thing is seized in the muslim community is extremism in many ways this is really. hearing of trying to say that there is something fundamentally wrong with muslims in the mainstream and we need to socially engineer to sort of changed so they will not be problematic living in our society it really is sort of extension of seeing the whole muslims as possible terrorist and so therefore we should have these projects to change into something more acceptable so perhaps the young muslim women in the u.k. right now be slightly more hopeful the new home secretary pretty patel who herself is from minority background might now be slightly more sisterly shot at woodstock's

they are to u.k. london. the us ambassador to serbia is calling on people there to look at the quote broader perspective and put the nato bombings in 1909. echoing similar comments you made a week ago. we don't ask the serbs to forget the recent history but we are asking you to look at the bigger picture. 2 decades ago nato launched a ferocious bombing operation against the federal republic of yugoslavia during the kosovo conflict the alliance leadership claimed it was kerry. to prevent the genocide of the old be any in population in kosovo the operation lasted a devastating 78 days we asked people in serbia what they thought about the end busters cold. distant future the bombing campaign was not justified in any worry it was

a terrible crime our government should sue for compensation. not all but the un security council never approved the nato bombing can only be considered an act of aggression it is impossible for serbia and america to be on good terms because the us government will always view serbia as a little version of russia and america for the americans everything they do is justified vietnam hiroshima and nagasaki native american genocide and so on and they did not just bone loss they took part of our territory that you feel you cannot justify what they did how can you defend the many nations whatever you did or didn't do. serbian canadian filmmaker bara smaller gursky say as the onslaught of bombings back then still affects serbians to this day. they don't use depleted uranium in bombing serbia and we are feeling the effects to date there is a parliamentary commission that has released its findings in serbia claiming that

the uranium that was used in the bombing is still affecting the cancer rate in serbia that is skyrocketing since 1994 he did in 1990. 8 and i was even searching for get that the special because u.s. policy toward serbia has not changed from 1958 yes they're not dropping bombs but the whole reason for the needle bombing was to illegally take over a part of serbia that is the province of costa vote to this date united states recognizes the independence of kosovo they are pushing for serbia to recognize its independence so if the united states really wanted to get over the past and everything troubles us from them then they will be the ones to change its policy all right as always it's a pact to the rafters watching the hawks coming up to stay close we are crossing to washington in moments for that and i'm back at the top with all the big news stories affecting your world today.

they all see themselves as dying swans in their dreams. but only one in the cells and 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 do to them. for generations at the madrid ski theatre ballet sweat and tears. with coal make this manufactured to send them to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final

merry go round be the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. greetings and salutations one pill makes you larger one pill makes you small but the ones that the sack words give you well you cannot trust them at all you alice in wonderland twists and turns over the last few weeks in the search for justice against bird flu. armaan the sackler family for their role in the opioid epidemic

has been one doozy hawk watchers well now my friends finally finally it is a bit shall we the we don't have to wait any longer as part of a deal struck last week on september 11th of all days per group arm of the maker of oxycontin filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy on sunday evening as the new york times reports this move is up the center of the company's efforts to shield itself and its owners from more than 2600 federal and state lawsuits. after voting on sunday to agree to the settlement in chapter 11 steve miller now out of the band the chairman of producers board of directors told the media quote this settlement framework avoids wasting hundreds of millions of dollars and years on protracted litigation and instead will provide billions of dollars in critical resources to communities across the country trying to cope with the opioid crisis. better late than never stevie wonder late than never oh and speaking of billions it

appears that a 1000000000 is exactly what the state of new york's attorney general lateesha james is accusing the sac lawyers themselves of squirreling away in case of a rainy day like today james told the media while the sack was continue to lowball victims and skirt a responsible settlement refuse to allow the family to misuse the courts in an effort to shield their financial misconduct. the greed and corruption the pharmaceutical industry and the unbridled avarice of the sackler family make for a tough blue pill to swallow but thankfully you could take the red pill instead and start watching the hawks. to. get the. real deal this week. as part of. what they like you know that i got.

to take. welcome on the watching the hawks i am to roll them and them top of us so here we are finally yes. to a place where. they're taking restaurants. now they kind of maybe sort of hasn't even started maybe i don't know. is the good word for this. it's interesting because the settlement deal requires producer to file for bankruptcy and dissolve but does not require them to admit to any wrongdoing whatsoever. a new company would form from the best solution of purdue and it would continue to sell oxy cotton but the sales revenue would go to the plaintiffs these many states and the all these people filing that it was a multiple tariff there and the company would also donate drugs for addiction and overdose treatment so that's kind of where all that.
