2:02 pm
secretary of state and the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov were held behind closed doors however from what we understand quite a few topics were discussed now one of the key topics was leverage of making clear how inappropriate it was for the united states to block the visas of members of the russian diplomatic delegation for the united nations general assembly voiced outrage about this behavior an action by the united states that essentially violates the united nations agreement that allows the united states to have the u.n. headquarters in new york now among the other topics that were discussed according to the russian foreign ministry we under just understand they started discussing resolving the issue in ukraine resolving the issues on the korean peninsula the situation in north africa as well as the situation in the middle east and the situation in syria. spoke with pompei o. and talked about in the negotiation process regarding the situation in syria that is underway at the united nations now another point that was made as we understand
2:03 pm
the lab rob made clear to my pail that attempts to put sanctions on russia and compel russia behavior and get russia to act in certain ways with sanctions were being done in vain the sanctions were not having that effect and that they were essentially they were essentially being done in vain so that some of what we heard about this conversation it was held behind closed doors and now the world is waiting to hear from loughborough of as he addresses the u.n. general assembly during the continued general debate that's been taking place. we're going to have that later this bring it to you live as well we think mr lavrov will also be talking to reporters like the 2 will come back to you after that for now though kind of open in new york thank you. political analysts and historian martha macauley told us the representatives of the united nations should never be refused visas if the organization is to function effectively. every u.n. delegation which you whichever country it was the mother of iran or drying out or
2:04 pm
any other country that you have to go on breezes because they're going to leave you alone the u.n. is a supranational institution but apparently that's not correct everyone expects but every international deliberation going to leave their own generals a little bit can receive a leader well if you look at the the state of russian american relations you could be a pessimist but you always have to remain an optimist because there's always a better tomorrow and therefore hopefully love growth and compare will come up with something to make the visa regime easier for russians you want to visit the united states. an impeachment inquiry into donald trump is gaining momentum as democratic party leaders claim the us president has betrayed his country and is no longer fit for office. this argument occupant of the oval office poses a clear and present danger to our future to our democracy he's in danger to us all by putting his personal and political interests ahead of the interests of the
2:05 pm
american people place that i hoped we would never be and never thought we would see a president take the actions that he hands it's not about politics it's not about partisanship it's about patriotism. on tuesday the house of representatives launched a formal impeachment inquiry into donald trump it came after a whistleblower claimed wrongdoing during a phone call between the president and his ukrainian counterpart vladimir selenski it's the latest in a slew of impeachment attempts that mr trump's faced since he took office in january 27th. but the walls feel like they're closing in on the trumpet ministration right now and i'm not sure they could hold them off for much longer the walls are closing in and everyone is freaking out the walls are closing the wheels are coming off. the walls are closing in on president trump the walls are closing it with trump on the walls are closing in on the trump white house. all of the walls are closing in at this point the walls are closing in fast and back then
2:06 pm
as you remember the democrats onslaught was mostly dominated by russian collusion probe senior correspondent i guess takes a closer look at the moves against president trump now. if you're a democrat the hardcore liberal type you knew in your heart the trump would be brought down the only question was how long it would take just needed a reason and come on there were plenty no people put their money on the trump russia collusion story treason collusion between the trunk team and the russians and trump knew about it that would truly be impeachable it's miss prison of treason and so far his response has been exploding and unfortunately proved entirely fabricated but to hell with it obstruction of justice federal seen in the united states that ought to do it to president trump trying to block the f.b.i.'s
2:07 pm
rush investigation commit an impeachable offense are we getting closer and closer to the possibility of yet another impeachment process no dodges that to come on let's go in on the guy slept with the porn star media told us and paid a hush money to keep it silent no way he'd survive that bicycle you see the trump team stepping into every trap that she and her lawyer set for them having a president knowledge that he was actually meant to be a party to the nondisclosure agreement and now of course she's got a an avenue and a way to fire back at it cohen what is going on how many get out of jail free cards does trump have you can keep this up surely every excuse to get rid of trump was brought up the sky just dissected in this guarded nothing would stake
2:08 pm
until now it seems like ukraine is the 1st nail in trumps political coffin blood hounds democrats smell blood weakness at long last. trump is vulnerable i think focusing on this he crean scandal singularly is important i think we have to act quickly but not with haste of the more able to speak with one voice on that subject than on some of the other we've got to go narrow no question about it i would hope within a 6 week frame we could get the evidence on the table so the american people can see it just one phone conversation and trump signed his political death warrant and if you thought it was about russia you thought wrong even a russia was discussed in that very call i would like to find out what happened with this whole situation with the ukraine they say crowd strike i guess you have one of your wealthy people the server they say ukraine has it that sounds crazy the
2:09 pm
democrat servers hacked by the russians allegedly somehow ending up in ukraine but these things are so secure crowd strike the d.n.c. as computer security squad warden let the f.b.i. look at them would threaten their security if the f.b.i. investigated they claimed all that the agents received were redacted draft reports all the information about russian hacking was pushed amongst others by crowd strike and the f.b.i. putting him politely said this isn't how things easily done it's not the way we would prefer to do the investigation 2 years have passed than trump still hasn't been able to fire in those servers from may or may not have reason to think that the servers are in ukraine it is trumbo after all whatever they know in
2:10 pm
washington it's clear that the democrats won't let go of this whole ukraine business they finally got solid ground for their long awaited impeachment oh and russia. forget it the wind cares anymore the democrats are desperate. they're terrified of losing the election joe biden is a disaster as a candidate if if he is the nominee he will i'm almost certain he will lose to trump and the democrats are hoping to bring trump down through this whole impeachment process this idea of. finding a scandal and running around hysterically where 'd there really is no criminal offense so they're hoping to bring trump down but i just can't imagine that it will work. because in the u.k. says it's unable to prevent the home office from deporting a 10 year old girl the risk of female genital mutilation to her sudanese mother's
2:11 pm
asylum application was rejected he said he has the story. putting aside his enthusiasm for war and its cozy relationships with the haters the british government style the self the staunch defender of human rights around the world the latest crusade they've taken up the fight against of g.m. in other countries they've pledged 50000000 pounds by 2030 to combat the issue. the bible it's very clear this isn't any requirement it doesn't make. sense to wall in the state of god but the british home office is pushing ahead with deporting a woman and her 10 year old daughter to bahrain from where lawyers fear they'll then be deported on to done but the mother is originally from the country has one of the highest rates of conducting f.g.s. in the world and the girl risks being another victim they are happy to prosecute female genital mutilation they're happy to give money abroad to stamp it out but
2:12 pm
they're failing to protect women who are at risk if deported a british family court earlier ruled that the coal face the risk of being circumcised against her will if censor board it was by the home office which said immigration issue is the core business perhaps the most high profile attempt by the u.k. to deport someone it was a case of. radical cleric the u.k. accused of having ties to al qaeda it took 12 years and 1700000 pounds to remove him and was a victory for the british government yet since he's deployed taishan britain has spent almost 200000 pounds protecting his wealth in jordan and the question now is whether the mother and her little girl but also get that much protection from u.k. authorities if she ends up back in sudan he said i'll be reporting there well we've asked the u.k. home office for comment on the case was still awaiting a response meantime a lawyer for the girl's mother told us the british government is not doing enough to protect young women at risk of after. her mother says that her little girl is
2:13 pm
a high risk if she am so her mother was cut and she suffer type 3 f g m which is the most physically severe type of f.p.m. that any woman or child can undergo and in fact the mother says her sisters also died whilst enjoying this most brutal practice so she certainly says it's a high risk of f. g.m. and we know from the social services who took this application to court to stop this little girl from being deported that they also believe there's a high risk of f g m and also the national f c m sent to an expert organization working with families in this country who are at risk if she had also believed that this little girl is at risk so there's a wealth of expertise here that says she is at risk of f.g.s. but unfortunately the home secretary and also the immigration authorities say the immigration courts don't feel that the risk is this is high my real concern here is that we have a government that appears to be committed to prosecuting cases of effort and
2:14 pm
throwing the book ethnic minority families when this actually in this country but when it comes to protecting girls the terrorist abroad and legitimately claim asylum the government's all too ready to refuse that claim because in my view if a so-called hostile immigration environment and they're not given the status that they so desperately need so i says real contradiction in the government's approach time and time again played out a numerous cases sadly. the global climate change clampdowns picking up steam with a number of climate protecting moves being certain motion for one the swedish daily newspapers burning all advertisement of fossil fuel based products and services with immediate effect the paper's editors cited environmental concerns with his decision a week after the biggest mass climb a protest in history separately a 3rd of the world's banks have signed up to the un initiative on efforts to tackle climate change such as cutting back on investing in fossil fuel projects among
2:15 pm
major players like citigroup. and barclays in total $130.00 financial institutions in $49.00 countries have signaled that they are on board but notably 7 of the world's 10 biggest banks are missing from that list the un initiative calls on banks to harmonize their strategies with the parrot's climate agreement work towards a sustainable future from being seen as an overdue move to mobilize the influential financial sector to a fad that will cause more problems than it solves we put it up for discussion here r.t. . what we really need to be looking out looking at is eliminating the funding of fossil fuels as quickly as possible and the key thing here is not to focus too much on the banks they will do whatever they can within what is profitable and i'm legal key thing is to put pressure on governments to utterly change the rules in terms of what banks do to get rid of anything that is destroying the future for our children the green technologies that are presented as growing are not at all in many instances in the energy sector today say no to nuclear energy there is no reason to
2:16 pm
see no to say no because nuclear energy doesn't emit any c o 2 and they say yes the electric car director car is an awful at sea life cycle analysis if you look at their environmental footprint it's much worse than my diesel car today and it will be for the next 50 years so because of the production of the batteries so this is solved rubbish this is perfect rubbish frankly and it is enough you know having 16 year old girls like the one we had a system at the united nations explaining to adults that there are stupid i mean this is not fun you know she's supported by the person's family of billionaires that have invested in the green technologies i mean this is who writes her texts this is a disgrace really it's time to stop and the government's progress of course in the reduction of c o 2 emissions but they should do it normally at a normal pace and for building the use of coal of fuel or. it's
2:17 pm
stupid especially for example in germany because of their choice for supposedly renewable energy such as wind energy they need coal plants to to produce the energy when there is no went so not crazy but identified you know perhaps correctly perceived problems with some of what is being pushed forward is green at the moment as a reason for carrying on burning fossil fuels when we know it is already a crime against humanity in the form of catastrophic droughts floods typhoons like clones hurricanes you know and the strength of these things is absolutely vastly greater than before and you know so to try and identify some of the problems with what's being put forward by you know the mainstream green narrative as a reason to carry on destroying ourselves this is just madness that we need to do the right thing at the right time it's not people why are extreme extreme activists that need to decide governments cannot allow this and the united nations should not
2:18 pm
allow this the only reason that the solutions required to deal with these problems are now so extreme is that well we've had 30 years of people like luke saying oh well we need to wait till we know more until the technology is about or what has happened over that period is that we have produced more emissions in the last 30 years than the entirety of human history before so the very very tempting rationale which is that anything that looks greener than before is a step in the right direction we must go at the normal pace we cannot stop planes from flying from today on because that's what the extremists want to paraphrase god given to explode progress with your lotion i'd say when obviously lights ogress on this. united states announced on thursday that it's sending $200.00 military personnel and a patriot missile battery to saudi arabia defend its oil production facilities it comes after attacks on 2 major installations in the gulf state knocked out 5 percent of the world all supply a couple of weeks ago saudi arabia already had a number of patriot missile systems in the area when the attack took place they
2:19 pm
were rendered useless as at least 17 drones and cruise missiles hit the oil producing facilities u.s. secretary of state my pump aoe gave the following explanation as to why the batteries weren't able to for the attack. look any time we've seen air defense systems all around the world have mixed success some of the finest in the world don't always pick things up security expert bridge told us he doesn't believe additional patriot missiles will bolster saudi defenses against the sort of attacks that we saw earlier this month. and there is no mixed success really about this is almost no success if any ever has been recorded by patriot systems against low flying targets such as the drones and the cruise missiles that were being used in these incidents to petra system is primarily designed to be flying to be used against high speed high altitude targets such as ballistic missiles it's more of a symbolic gesture than anything that's going to practically add to the defense
2:20 pm
capabilities of saudi arabia ironically perhaps there are much more. much more effective systems perhaps more low tech systems perhaps more old fashioned systems that could be used more effectively they're nowhere near as expensive as the patriot systems and perhaps cynic might suggest therefore using those as a poise opposed to selling and deploying more patriots wouldn't be as much benefit to the u.s. arms industry. as high level anger in germany or the united states which is being accused of trying to a bulldozer a major russian gas pipeline project by repeatedly threatening sanctions the chairman of the german parliament's energy committees told r.t. at a conference in berlin that the penalties if there are imposed would violate international law. if you think yes it is the 1st it seems to me these sanctions extraterritorial and therefore unacceptable under international law 2nd based on the conversations in which i took part i have the impression that the gas pipeline will be built it will simply become more expensive thus u.s.
2:21 pm
sanctions will increase the price of the project for companies involved in the construction of the gas pipeline but the project will not fail the interest of americans in a sense is very simple they want to sell their own gas in europe to do this they need to weaken the economic ties between germany and europe and specifically between germany and russia that's the whole point but they've only partially succeeded as we know for many years russian gas has flowed to europe especially germany without interruption. this gas pipeline is in the interest of germany and it will be built i think the behavior of the u.s. president is encouraging europeans to change their minds about america of course the u.s. is a major economic power of europe for germany partners do not behave as the americans are behaving germany in europe are not a colony of the united states. there are other hurdles closer to home to north stream to is currently suing the european union for imposing regulations which the projects lawyers argue will jeopardize investment in the scheme. to a.g.
2:22 pm
has now decided to ask the tribune ill to determine that the european union is in breach of its international commitments under the energy charter treaty and to make orders requiring the e.u. to discontinue is breach the e.u. is extending its jurisdiction to cover offshore pipelines beyond the blocks borders the gas directives designed to open the market and encourage competition by revealing details such as operating costs but not stream to says that will discourage billions of euros of investment and launched a dispute in april claiming the e.u. is violating the energy charter treaty that regulates the industry's cross border co-operation including things like investment both sides though failed to reach an agreement and that led the company to launch legal action on thursday almost 3 quarters of the pipeline already been late and it's expected to come on stream later this year when complete north stream 2 will stretch for 1200 kilometers and will dramatically increase the amount of fuel supplied from russia directly into europe the e.u. gas directive would only apply to the section on german territory but it's got
2:23 pm
implications throughout the network journalist thomas fassbender told us there's a geopolitical tug of war playing out over the supply of energy to europe. it's not a legal problem this is not a legal issue this is a political issue which is going to be decided by legal means which always creates an unfortunate situation because it makes it to a few years which should be which which should be left apart we have a strong. interest by the us that this project must not be and we must not forget that even the law of the present law is just a step in a multi tire by the u.s. government we have we are still have the proposed sanctions against the companies participating in the building the construction on the table by watching. sort of a chain in the united states is banning moviegoers from wearing costumes masks and face painting screenings of the new joker film in its theaters. you do some years
2:24 pm
joker. the ban comes amid fears of possible violence during screenings concerns were raised by families or victims of a mass shooting at a batman movie and 2012 where a dozen people were killed back then there were unproven claims that the kilo could have been inspired by the character of the joker the shooter also became a hero to the in-cell community which i'll break down for you in a moment the time the studio distanced itself from the violence denying that the dark knight rises movie influenced the perpetrators actions and certainly this latest release won't be shown at the venue in colorado where that terrible massacre happened well now the u.s. military's issued warnings to its service members about a mass shooting threat showings of the joker fill several potentially dangerous
2:25 pm
messages posted by the in-cell community were discovered by intelligence officers. booths and social media have made reference to interest so but in so extremists replicating the 2012 theater shooting in the rural killer at screenings of the joker movie it nationwide theaters this presents a potential risk to department of defense personnel and family members though there are no known specific credible threats to the opening of the joke on the 4th of october so the threats allegedly coming from the community whose philosophy resembles that of the films of main character the joker found online and described themselves as involuntary celibate these disgruntled men apparently failed neglected and undesired in modern day society not being able to find a romantic or sexual partner as a result of the theory then goes to some of them turn openly hostile to society and promote violence. todd phillips who's the director of the latest movie rebuffs the
2:26 pm
claims that his film may provoke violence. it's a little troubling when people write think pieces without having seen it and even in their think piece is right i don't need to see it to know what it is to me that you know i find it astounding to be quite frank how easily the far love can sound like the far right when it suits their agenda i think the reason for that is is somewhat hypocritical the concern over the joker movie is warranted because according to the f.b.i. they have been picking up chatter on some dark web websites that indicate that there is talk about a possible incident that could occur somewhere at a movie theater that's been undisclosed the united states especially right now we are in such a fractured society in terms of the view of you know racial politics and how everyone views each other there is a huge concern about this idea of white males being a threat to the society in general i don't think that's an accurate assessment in
2:27 pm
terms of the actual belief that white males in general are a danger to society but this is a needy a narrative that's been playing out for some time now. and i love the highest court has said that the right to be forgotten online only applies within the blocks boundaries that means that google is under no obligation to take down embarrassing or outdated information contained about people on non european versions of its pages. currently there is no obligation on the you lot for a search engine operator who grants the request food dereferencing made by date to subject to carry out such a deed referencing older versions of its search and. the so-called right to be forgotten was in trying to back in 2014 it allows a huge citizens to demand that personal data about them be deleted on request 25th the french previously regulated try to find the search giant 100000 euros and ordered it to globally delete links to pages it found damaging however the
2:28 pm
following year google simply chose to hide the delisted links from users in europe . social media lawyer cohen explains why the right to be forgotten would not have taken root outside europe. we have to bear in mind that a right to be forgotten is a european right and what the court did recognize is the fact that every country in every jurisdiction might have a different approach towards the sure did up what they can so for example in the united state the 1st amendment is a very powerful piece of legislation in grants almost an absolute right fought free speech so so indeed united states free speech. much much heavier than for example a right of individual to corporate life and while this way google also provoked the ire of news publishers in france the tech firm announces changing how it displays news stories so that it won't have to pay them for showing their content on a change in the country's copyright laws it comes as
2:29 pm
a major blow to news organizations who are expecting to receive extra revenue for the snippets of text that appears in search results people trust google to help them find useful and authoritative information from a diverse range of sources to uphold that trust search results must be determined by relevance not by commercial partnerships that's why we don't accept payments from anyone to be included in search results we sell ads not search results and every ad in google is clearly marked that's also why we don't pay publishers when people click on their links in a search results earlier this month german newspaper publishers failed in a legal bid to force google to pay them a $1000000000.00 euros for showing snippets of their articles online cohen again believes that they should actually be thankful that those news stories make it to the search engine at all. people who know buying newspapers and longer and advertisers choose to advertise on google rather then on on how it got hard copy newspapers and they were looking for another form of income to compensate him for
2:30 pm
that for for that loss of revenue from advertising it has got nothing to do with copyright the fact that a google displays snippets all 2 or 3 lines off a newspaper article in search results that doesn't necessarily mean that google is breaching anybody's copyright in fact google is doing a favor to the news probably says by displaying the news articles in google search engines. are now an environment unfit for human habitation for you here is to come over the site of the world's worst nuclear accident 33 years ago but nonetheless trolls visitors from around the globe for a brief look inside the forbidden area our video agency got a rare opportunity to visit the very heart of the 1960 an eerie control room at the power plants for 3 actor.
