it's. worth. leading hong kong appeals to congress in washington to pass an act on monitoring the territories from china in return for the continuation of economic privileges from. the curse of so-called liberal racism democratic presidential candidate joe biden in hot water african american parenting skills. and israel holds out on precedented repeats the parliamentary election to decide their fate prime minister binyamin. from his way to the camp.

just after 11. 11 pm in singapore 6 new evening here in moscow this tuesday wednesday. choose the excuse me september 17th welcome to r.t. international or at our top story today a leading name in the hong kong protest movement is set to appeal to u.s. lawmakers on a congressional hearing on future ties between washington and the chinese autonomous territory just wants them to pass the hong kong human rights and democracy act which would monitor the region's status with beijing in return for ongoing special economic favors. hong kong a special status under american law that bans on the city being treated as a separate customs area beijing should not have it both ways wrapping all the economy benefit of hong kong. thing in the world while erosion of our freedom this

is the most important reason why the hong kong human rights and democracy act and just the sub throws off hong kong civil society just one is a prominent 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 the pro democratic party demo sisto he's already served by the way several jail terms for his activities while mr wong's visit to new york over the weekend drew huge attention from the media these are just some of the organizations who. really wanted him to be there to talk to them to visit their areas reuters new york times bloomberg as a lot was going on around these areas he also gave a speech to students at the prestigious columbia university. long

supported the hong kong human rights and democracy act and recently said he expects that to be passed easily the bill proposes support for hong kong from the u.s. so long as it remains governed at arm's length from beijing if not the trigger washington to revoke this to the special status of the course down off reports. 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 the human rights and democracy act and it's meant to show beijing that the u.s.

is serious about fighting for hong kong's rights the united states must make clear to china that its interference in hong kong affairs will have consequences this month we must possibly 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 been friendly to 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 so difficult the ready big is the orderly in the world. will always just ordered. well it was going to hold a great deal but it's not just the whole portly there are thousands of you notice these companies and it would likewise be affected of course it's a political war because. it calls only or percent of policy he was the. ringback head of the deal years ago in the apollo tool mall as far as equality is also. but now is also sent on the other hand of course we law i would wish the one country to see so as to help with the

internationalization that really the. whole 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 on sunday he gave impassioned speech at a black church but a few days earlier during a presidential debate when pressed on segregation on the legacy of slavery he switched to lecture african americans and how they should bring up their children and explains how biden's been caught up before in crossing the line from empathy to condescension. joe by 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 think that americans need to take to repair the legacy of slavery in our country make sure that we bring into the helped was to stew the to teachers deal with the problems could come from home we bring social workers in into homes and pears to help their deal with how to raise their children there's not that they'll want to help there don't one day don't know quite what to do play the rodeo break sure the television the screws me make sure you have the record player on the he is of the phone make sure the kids here words a kid come in from a very poor school or river very poor background who here 4000000 words few were spoken by the time now i get there from 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 a parent shaming biden is the a liberal braces to why downs better star calling this out because black women are

watching if joe biden it's in forced out of the ronnie now i give up 1st he looks into the camera and laths of the man should of racial inequality in us schools and we could racists then he describes black whom light and parenting you knew way that is stunningly ignorant and insulting droop biden's aunt so the own how to address the lick a sea of slavery was a pulling and to score if now this isn't the 1st time the joe is flubbed an answer when it comes to a racial issue the made some remarks one barack obama was selected as the democratic party candidate in 2008 that he probably meant to sound like a compliment i mean you good the 1st mainstream african-american whose or to cool it and brighton clean and in 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 patronizing attempt to connect with the outgroup democratic party is pretty put on a list economy you can look you see order policies from the welfare state it is put into place to live thinks that blacks generally aren't as smart. and really would point to is the democrats projecting a lot of their own insecurities upon everyone knows day say everyone is races everyone is it seems everyone is all those days and if they're when it's really them they feel that way and it's hard 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. r.t. new york. another big story of the day israel is currently deciding the fate solving come been prime minister binyamin netanyahu on precedented repeats of the parliamentary election he's locked in a tight contest with centrist rival benny gantz are t's'pol leslie or 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 $120.00 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 neither is 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 adored 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 they 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. will israel's parliament the

knesset dissolved itself in may after netanyahu failure to form a coalition and a dispute on the growing influence of the ultra orthodox jewish minority the military draft privileges hum to the minority has become a stumbling block turning into a bar for netanyahu is chances of forming a coalition with the nation's former defense foreign ministers will be incumbent pm house quite heavily relied on the endorsement of the ultra orthodox community of vigor lieberman has been an outspoken opponents of the advantage they have been receiving.

the ultra orthodox establishment have a very strong hold of the israeli politics and israeli government and i think their facts our lives. that the orthodox make their own rules. they want to make themselves different from the other people i don't think they're affected too much except from probably things like. from public transportation in israel in a saturday i don't have buses instead on sort of days i want to go to the beach 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 other 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. it's been revealed other website for british muslim teams has actually been part funded by the government we look at how it's leading truckies actions of suspicious social engineering after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic to follow closely and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical. to sit down and talk.

put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. have to be right to be close it's like the 3 of them will be good. interested always at the water's edge. welcome back to the program. militants very behind 2 deadly bombings in afghanistan which killed dozens this choose the one the explosion took place near the u.s. embassy in the capital kabul which the interior ministry say house killed 22 number

revised off from 3 quite a dramatic change that shortly before what you're looking at here suicide bomber showing where he struck a campaign rally for the afghan president in the northern province another deadly day there 24 killed dozens injured as well that's the latest reports from there the taliban threaten to increase attacks on afghan forces on the western backers after peace talks field with the u.s. off base journalists told us more earlier. so i spoke to the one of the spokesperson officer forgot he said that to use weather and he's unhurt but the expectations were high because of the strong hold of let's say that you the biggest u.s. bases in but for all that sound it's very close to the capital kabul and the expectations won't like the security must be very tight but still there was a guy that's in suicide bomber used them detonated and killed many people the prevention of governor office this spokesperson said the 2 sides 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 ministry 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. ok moving the program will know a lifestyle website for british muslim teens has become an unlikely flashpoint it's been revealed at the home office has been cool for a cli funding it as part of a country stream is a strategy

a move that has infuriated employees readers on the do the wider muslim community there. if you're a young muslim woman living in the u.k. then this is the website for 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 at the root there was no way i could do this regardless of the content our

was pushing out while the project was set up in 2015 in direct response to 3 british school girls including baker running away to syria and where did 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 lists and 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 no other should 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 systems instagram a blog not just our website we have always been clear and transparent to the

interview stage on how we are funded including at sub hours interview at least that's what they say but so by smale 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 for my contributors have claimed that at one point there were no muslim women invited by gigo 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 be inspired 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 super says 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 emerson traditions was found to be receiving funding from you guessed it the home office or the problem is to 1st of all the home office seems to is the only thing is seized as in the muslim community is extremism in many ways this is really. engineering 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 them into something more acceptable so perhaps 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 shouted stache to r.t. u.k. london. you go some buster to serbia is calling on people there to look at the quote broader perspective of the nato bombings in 1909 behind them 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 course of all conflict the alliance leadership claimed it was carried out do to prevent the genocide of the albanian population possible the operation last of a devastating 78 we asked people in serbia what they thought about the ambassador's comments. the bombing campaign was not justified in any wormy

it was a terrible crime our government should sue for compensation. but the un security council never approved the nato bombing so it can only be considered acts 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. for the americans everything they do is justified vietnam hiroshima nagasaki the native american genocide and so on they did not just bomb us they took part of our territory. you cannot justify what they did how can you defend the bomb in the many nations whatever it did or didn't do. the views of people in belgrade all serbian canadian filmmaker bara smaller gursky says 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 1990 but it did in 1908 and i don't think that search and forget that the special because u.s. policy towards 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 course the vote to this the 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 that troubles us from them then they will be the ones to change its policy more than 10 years on from the global economic crunch where do things stand today marks and stacie realm the route over the big questions next in the kaiser reports they close.

thousands of american men and women choose to serve in the country's military decision little sheltered lives every thing came to a complete. the day that i was raped and. you know told to shut up kill me and i see how it destroyed my life any screamed at me and he made me come in and he grabbed my arm and he write me with his birthing curia if you take into account that women don't report because of the extreme retaliation and it's probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the us military is a very very traumatizing thing tat happen but i've never seen trauma like i've seen women who are veterans who have suffered military sexual trauma reporting rape is more likely to get the victim punished and be offended and almost 10 year career or chose very invested in and i gave

a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry this is simply an issue in violence male sexual predators for the large part of target whoever is there to prey upon whether that's a man or woman. with this manufactured concern this instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the crime and. certainly don't want. to ignore middle of the room see. the real news is really.

i am sure this is the kaiser report where were you september 3rd 2009 that's a question we'll be asking kids and grandkids for years to come that was the 1st episode of the kaiser report yes 10 years ago today the kaiser report began broadcasting all over the world 100 countries billions of people. 10 years ago this month indeed we started here in paris so while we're here in paris i wanted to record this special there are some controversies about when the 1st episode actually aired of course because of a you tube and how they upload and date things but nevertheless i want to you know

look back a little bit what we experience here in paris at the beginning of our journey of kaiser report 10 years ago and what i realized looking back and anybody could do that because it's all on you to go report episode one episode to episode 3 episode 4 just watch those 1st episodes i'm going to look at episode $1.00 and $3.00 at the moment because it napa said one we interviewed danny schechter the news that a sector who has since passed away but he was an independent journalist who at the time had just made a film called plunder the crime of our time so we started our 1st episode talking about the financial collapse the ongoing battle at the trillions of dollars and this 1st little clip before we turn to the interview with him i want to show you that actually know we friends makes an appearance on our very 1st episode of kaiser report started an issue actor author of this book but yes this book the crime of our time is also the creator of

a film that's now out on available it's called plunder the crime of art. with a book that came out before lehman brothers went bankrupt speaking on wall street i called for a jail not a bail out. the street is a fine center i don't think that it is. now it's time to make the case for why the financial crisis is a crime story and i'm not the only one who sees it this way. nomi prins was a managing partner of bear stearns and goldman sachs this is the most expensive take out the biggest. in world history we're talking * about a crime we can't even quantify you're talking double digit trillions of dollars. trillions and trillions you know we at the very beginning were pointing fingers at easy money and the central banks as paper.
