[000:00:00;00] i . iranian president will unveil his plans for pace in the gulf at the u.n. the u.s. and 6 for forces to the region we canvassed americans about another possible intervention in the middle. we think iraq iran the be $100000.00 times worse i just think we should be less involved in other world affairs partners are for profit with us say they may again try to impeach president donald trump for alleged collusion with another foreign power the same less concerned by a sheet of corruption against their 2020 hopeful joe biden. been very reluctant to go down the path of impeachment but that may be the only remedy by failing to act

congress is complicit in trump's latest attempt to solicit foreign interference to aid the us elections do your constitutional duty and impeach the president. and r.t. visits an afghan refugee camp in pakistan where people are desperate to return the prospects of pace after nearly 2 decades of war fade as u.s. peace talks with the taliban. alone i welcome his midday here in moscow you're watching international the iranian president says he will unveil a plan for security in the gulf at the u.n. sandra carney also warned against foreign powers meddling in the region amid escalating tensions in the. foreign powers are sincere in seeking peace and security they must stop deploying dangerous weapons to our region and provoking an

arms race. we should stay away because their presence is always pain and misery the announcement comes after the u.s. said it would send more troops to the gulf region that was in response to an attack on saudi oil refineries washington blamed duran for the attack something turn rejects artie's down hawkins now looks at how the standoff could play. iran and the united states go way back a relationship at sea a coup terrorism sanctions even direct confrontation for over half a century it's hard to find enemies more bitter could we see all out war the question today on the minds of many listening to recent rhetoric you'd certainly think that possibility is growing that if any country wants to attack iran it will seize territory turn into the conflicts main battlefields will never let any war be dragged into iran we will continue until the end we will continue until the full

destruction of any aggressor and we will leave no safe place for enemies and that was a very large attack. and it could be met with an attack many many times larger very easily by our country the saudis have called for u.s. help after those attacks on it's all refineries it seems all those billions spent on u.s. military gadgets weren't enough to keep them safe back in may the u.s. sent an aircraft carrier strike group to the gulf to this latest incident the u.s. was quick to announce another military deployment the president has approved the deployment of u.s. forces which will be defensive in nature and primarily focused on air and missile defense we will also work to accelerate the delivery of military equipment to the kingdom of saudi arabia and the u.a.e. to enhance their ability to defend themselves many see some historical deja vu in this latest move dating back 3 decades at my direction elements of the 82nd

airborne division as well as key units of the united states air force are arriving today to take up defensive positions in saudi arabia i took this action to assist the saudi arabian government in the defense of its homeland operation desert shield back then protecting these to the of the region and the world's oil markets and supply lines was one key for. active behind the intervention but much has changed in 3 decades the us is now the world's biggest oil producer protecting gulf oil exports just isn't a priority anymore neither is being in the middle of a war between riyadh and tehran the united states is pursuing its own interests and that is to control the floyds flow of oil to the world and that means providing oil to its friends and denying oil to its enemies we've seen the united states embargo oil to play countries like syria the sale of oil from iran sudan libya many other

places this is about the united states control over the most important commodity in the world that keeps industry going keeps country standing on their feet and domestic appetite for sending the boys to a place of sand and death is weak according to a recent poll just 13 percent would support a military intervention to protect the saudis adding a 2nd or 3rd party into that kind of tense scenario doesn't necessarily deescalate things if anything it escalates things even further so we get into another war like afghanistan or iraq and get stuck over there for another 1015 years we think iraq was bad iran would be 100000 times worse and we would absolutely destroy there i just think we should be less involved in other world affairs no desire for conflict with iran this seems to be a war that neither side wants or at least says they want yet still seem to be on a collision course we have made it very clear that we don't want war we have made it very clear that we don't want escalation i'm making

a statement that we don't want war we don't want to engage in a military confrontation america 1st has been trumps mantra since before his election campaign ending costly conflicts no more world policeman with analysts warning of the devastating costs of a war with iran the u.s. stands at a crossroads just how high a price on. willing to pay to meet their objectives the u.s. as we know is now the world's number one oil producer fracking has changed the nature of oil production in the us and there is an overhang in the oil market so many americans are saying why are we interested in the gulf we don't need saudi oil but you know if the lesson the fact of the matter is that oil is not just a product it is leverage over the international community is geostrategic lee important ever since world war 2 the united states has wanted to control energy in

the world so the united states is very loath to leave the gulf even though it doesn't actually need the oil itself. where later in the program we visit the afghan refugee camp where people are desperate to return home as u.s. peace talks with the taliban again collapse dimming hopes of ending nearly 2 decades for. a number of u.s. democrats say they may start impeachment proceedings against president donald trump that is on the back of reports and pressured his ukrainian counterpart to investigate possible corruption involving 2020 hopeful joe biden. been very reluctant to go down the path of impeachment but if the president is essentially trying to browbeat a foreign leader into doing something illicit then that may be the only remedy by failing to act congress is complicit in trump's latest attempt to solicit foreign interference to aid him in the us elections do your constitutional duty and impeach

the president at this point a bigger national scandal isn't the president's low breaking behavior it is the democratic party is refusing to impeach him for it on sunday trump denied any misconduct there while discussing his potential rival during a phone call with president readiness and in school back in june you're speaking is the former vice president of corruption tied to his son's business activities in ukraine the phone conversation has come to light after a whistleblower claimed that trump solicited help from a foreign leader sask taylor has more details. you've got to give it to the democrats they're hard working bunt especially when something's related to the biggest pet peeve canoe said but with all the temps over the past 3 years to push trump out of the white house haven't for a bit flat new rumors have put the fire back in their bellies complain about president trump it involves ukraine troubling promise president may have made to

a foreign leader years ago 1st got in office were also nervous the donald trump was some sort of sleeper agent who was going to sell america out to a foreign power behind our backs. well throwback thursday no balled into multiple reports of potentially illegal activity new allegations of attempted foreign collusion the washington post reported that back in july trump and the newly elected wanted to ms and how did a little chat in which trump asked his ukrainian counterpart to investigate former vice president joe biden and apparently top level whistleblower leaks that trump unethically said he'd be generous with billions worth of american military and intelligence aid if selenski was cooperative whistleblower is under what i can only imagine must be the most. intense pressure sharing anything that is truly sensitive and endangers our national security world or trouble sounds to see but then things took a slightly disappointing turn the washington post sort of backtracked and admitted

that well actually they might have jumped the gun just a little. one source familiar with the conscience of the phone call so the crew did not raise the issue of american military and intelligence aide that the administration was at the time withholding from ukraine indicating that there may not be no explicit quid pro quo expressed in that conversation but for the desperate damns even the with of the scandal was enough reports of a reliable whistleblower complaint regarding the president's communications with a foreign leader breeze grief urgent concerns of our national security when you have the president call him in from other countries and whistleblowers are talking about compromising who he has deemed a political enemy this is serious this is very very serious and we have to investigate it this is all in the spirit of pursuing justice and protecting the american people from shady political dealings so probably a bit awkward that trump was gunning for an investigation into how a bomb as a right hand man biden had pushed for

a top ukrainian prosecutor to be fired but hey it's probably just a coincidence that the prosecutor was leading a corruption investigation into a natural gas company that biden's son was linked to biden bragging that he basically blackmailed x. president petro poroshenko into firing the guy isn't that convincing is it i said you know i get the 1000000000 i'm going to leave in iran i think it was about 6 hours i looked as i'm leaving in 6 hours and the prosecutor is not fired you're not getting the money or son of a. foreigner no not biden surely not he looks so good in those shorts back in the sixty's he had such a lovable bromance with obama he can't be shady i love joe biden but there is still so much good in this country and joe biden i think represents that the democrats will see him as the best choice voters in the battleground state of wisconsin say they favor by never president trump everyone loves your by if you're trump because an elusive phone call from a secret source reported in

a classified document leaked in an article but that corrected itself would be declared hard evidence and bring the year. democrats knocking at your door but if you're the only candidate your party has mustered up that even stands a chance of getting the vote of the american people in 2020 so you get something that's up for interpretation and turning a blind eye while no harm no foul this is a barn that basically joe biden has set off himself that's going to i think in the end push him perhaps out of contention it seems very much that the democrats like to shift public opinion away from their misconduct by alleging misconduct of trouble and it fools. a large number of people who are not deep divers into details but it's certainly not pulling me and it's not full and i think many other pundits around the world who look at this and say the democrats are just deceiving themselves at this point they opened this can of worms trump didn't bring it up 1st

they brought it up now other people have brought it back up there are serious questions about what was going on in ukraine i would argue from 2004 forward. involving corrupt elements of both political parties inside our country and the other the democrats are brought this up again i believe trump has a megaphone with his twitter account and we're going to get to the bottom of what was really going on as in the changing nature of u.s. ukraine and russia relations going to 2004 forward or maybe even further back than that. now phil make is being sued for his documentary on the section slave mint of careen women and by japanese troops before and during world war 2. they were not sex slaves they were prostitutes. although i don't want i want to also. i want to think that if someone you know. all

born i thought that's what they're. going to feel even want to talk about home for the ladies more than ask me to. come for a minute shoot has always been a very contentious issue between korea and japan and some people actually think it's the most contentious issue between the 2 countries and through my own research i realize that you know my korean friends and japanese friends didn't know certain information i thought if i made a film i could possibly fill in this gap in information and bring more context in hopefully both sides will. you know be able to talk about this more productively after the film the council in an issue is very taboo in japan and surprisingly a lot of people like the film i notice a lot of people who don't like the film are people who haven't seen the film. the plaintiffs did actually participate in the film and represent the view that there

is no direct proof that women were forced into slavery however they claim their views were distorted and that the filmmaker to see them into thinking that it was for his own academic research they didn't think it would result in a commercially released documentary the phrase comfort women is a euphemism for girls who were forced into sex slavery by japanese soldiers in occupied territories at least 200000 young women were made to work in military brothels these women were from across southeast asia but mainly they were from korea where the japanese government to did issue a statement about all of this back in 1903. responsibility for the sexual coercion of men and apologized the filmmaker. thinks that if his film is sense that it will violate his right to free speech well i think it's definitely a case of freedom of expression and i think my film if it

gets silenced or taken down or you know if they prevent bigger distribution then this is another you know. on expression in japan and it's and it's these little tiny digs at freedom of expression that make it really hard for the media and people in general to talk about these issues and so it just becomes one of these things where the powerful people get to say what they want to say about the issue and then the people who have an opposing opinion can say anything you want she will have more news for you in

a couple. join me every 1st week on the alex i'm i'm sure i'll be speaking to us of the world of

politics sports business i'm sure both of those i'll see you there. welcome back now representatives of the terror group the taliban have met china's envoy to afghanistan the meeting in beijing on sunday was aimed at reviving failed to peace talks with the united states donald trump abruptly ended those talks early this month after a u.s. soldier was killed in a taliban attack in kabul where the world with hopes of an end to the 2 decades long war fading again artie's porus lee visited an afghan refugee camp in pakistan where people are longing to return home. i'm here in an afghan refugee camp in the pakistani capital islamabad more than a 1000 families called us home and there was a small percentage of the more than 1000000 afghan refugees who have moved to pakistan in the past 4 decades now they keenly watching developments across the border with the american president donald trump recently announcing that he is

withdrawing from secret talks with the taliban and russia stepping up to the mark for people living here what happens in those talks has a direct impact on their lives i'm going to meet them on khan family to see how they feel about things mongo and we came here from afghanistan and we don't have a stable income sometimes and sometimes we don't only our is keeping us alive. we're happy here in afghanistan we had no land in the house we didn't see bread and butter for years. we came here to work because the situation in afghanistan is too bad and it's too difficult to live there we are poor people and we have no limbs and have only god well you know of course we want our children to be well educated and to attend good schools our family runs a store the market would earn hardly anything i'm suffering from hip authorities but i don't have enough money to buy medicine as you can see they don't have very much it's 10 people who live here in 3 mad rooms and they survive by selling fruits

and vegetables on the sides of the road shaheen is one of the community leaders so he how would you say the pakistani government treats afghan refugees afghan refugees live slightly better here than it's hard but we don't have full rights we want to have the same rights as pakistanis no afghan can get a driving license or a car we want peace in afghanistan and we will be very happy to be able to return to our country the pakistani prime minister in one can in an interview i did with him said that pakistan is willing to do whatever it needs to do to make sure that the talks in afghanistan work america however needs to send its soldiers. but the americans. will have to of course leave understand and i think president wants the u.s. soldiers to leave understand this is not a lot more than pakistan can do than what it is already doing which is urging the. only who would it has influence to sit down and talk to the americans which which they have done and also talk to the of one government which they haven't done as

yet for the more than 1000000 afghan refugees in pakistan they don't have much but the belief that one day they will return home is something making to. r.t. islamabad but we spoke with afghan journalist rapid city to you he says that peace talks between the u.s. and the taliban must regime. there's been a horse to these of wonder fiji's for the last 4 decades almost. these of wonder if he'd used living in. camps the had no become a part of pakistani society they have deliberately or on economic interest or financial interests in this country and their dog want to go back unless the situation into one of these peaceful and stable. people to get a lot to reach a negotiated settlement of the crisis is behind the scene in communication with the

us and also reveal. the muscle or call of these these talks are typically all the crisis our political crisis the solution is no solution. more than $30000.00 people have signed a petition urging oxford dictionaries to remove sexist definitions of the word woman among the synonyms quoted baggage beit pains and wench plus others of a more crude nature we did speak with maria beatrice. launch the petition and she wants the words. they are sexist because the they use very patronizing language as well as. the men sharing and offensive so for example they use sentences such as i told you to be home when i when i get home a little one or. if that doesn't work they'll become women on the streets

a lot of center says objectify women and sexual way if you look on the matter for example there is not derogatory saying on this whatsoever we think that the dictionary has to be careful to sort of have to be a prescriptive text meaning any support limits to what including it's interesting because. otherwise you're simply playing the game of the patriarchal society and actually instructing people to be sexist well in response to the criticism oxford university press has said that records how words are used and won't exclude words just on the grounds that they are offensive online opinion is divided. these different issues in the orcs with dictionary are insane i can't believe they still exist in 2019 what is it with guys and their obsessive need to correct a woman's grammar doesn't help them feel important or something just signed reading their petition itself an example seen the oxford dictionary is even more

infuriating it is almost entirely sexist and degrading to women 18 or removing wood from the dictionary doesn't change what people do or see or are no book of words didn't goods all words can be sexist. and calmness to john gaunt as though the burning words from addiction resisted priest like to censorship. i don't think it's for anyone to start censoring the english language that see a gender play here these are all radical war this radical feminist who are trying to ban all forbid certain words that's what's wrong not the new york oxford university dictionary some of those terms are derogatory but they are in common usage and if we start censoring them would be burning books next this woman is or ridiculous absolutely or it is trying to create

a storm of nothing and that is the news today so far here in r.t. don't forget they can also keep yourself updated our social media pages and channel . so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offense very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful

very critical time to sit down and talk. this is a story about what happens auster a stray bullet kills a young girl in the streets. what happens to her family daughters in florida no mother daughter is buried in a cemetery it really messes with your head what happens to the community the public was screaming for a scapegoat the police needed a scapegoat so why not choose a 19 year old black kid with a criminal record who better to pin this on than him and what happens in court be be be. shocked shocked as far off as i feel. we don't know she'll just screw up on. the end of this trial

unfortunately due to the will still love no chill just. that action or times you're welcome to this going on the ground global climate strike special coming up in the show but he signed his campaign organizer lawrence nuff and the along his campaign to unseat a 10 term u.s. congressman from south carolina one of a new generation fighting for a green new deal and will you be one of the 40000 who die prematurely in britain every year because of toxic air pollution we investigate a new online tool that not only tells you if your local area is polluted but whether house prices in your neighborhood could crash plus as a global strike for the future of the planet continues this week we asked extinction rebellion if it can win in the face of capitalism and scotland yard all of them all coming up in today's going underground global climate strike special

but 1st we go to the u.s. deep south to talk to one of a new generation of politicians challenging the status quo in the most c o 2 polluting country in the world joining me from columbia south carolina is one of many scientists organizer and perspective democrat congressional candidate lawrence nathaniel thanks so much for coming on to tell me about the campaign because you're up against a 10 term republican congressman joe wilson who yes but didn't you lie joe wilson on the campaign is actually going great in receiving a lot of hours have been mostly people or even to instead of many who are into it. you'll see kind of chants global platform or a lot young political. organizers so a lot of us are following needs which is basically reaching out to the people and going for the people 'd in that for the party itself so we've been getting a lot of great responses for that we're not a part of the status quo when it comes to american politics and the 1st

african-american to even run in my district so. give really the carolinas have never been more environmentally conscious what with hurricane dorian but do you see the green new deal as being a vote winner on the doorstep yes i believe that is a road map to where we need to be especially where our climate is today. our state was one of the states that was a part of the regulation mandatory evacuations when it came to hurricane doran. on the things that we did. we wasn't impacted as much as the bahamas was we probably got $1100000.00 in damages along our coast stretches from south to north carolina for hurricanes stay over the bahamas something that has never been seen before or thousands of people are missing and the fact that our country we're only allowed these people that are trying to escape pale to come in is just shows you what our nation is today why do you think we're not hearing more about the destruction in the bahamas now that you mention it

a former british colony and people are arguably more interested in that all trump believing it was going to hit alabama again door in our president has a stretch of this imaginations but i think one of the reasons why we're not hearing too much is that barack the harnesses because i don't think is doing a good job is keeping it at bay our news it's saturated with our president all across the works so yes kind of hard to focus in on on the promise when we have a president who is more focused on his selves we're talking about mothers with sick babies we're talking about school teachers we're talking about students we're talking about children that have been kicked out boats because our president says there are too many bad people on those boats even though that most of us use the promise as our vacation destination is a spot that we go to where we share family memories but they can't we go to escape the hill that they're living to over there but as you know president obama of
