i i i i. took he values to push on with his assault against the kurds in northern syria despite international outrage over the operation also to come i. was. clashes to gas and fire violent unrest next door's capital oberst eriksson measures and today 10 consecutive day with indigenous protesters rejecting the government's offer to talk and a journalistic you can be say you're trying to complete his political life when he exposed harvey weinstein's alleged sexual abuse is also 900 clinton among those standing in the black.

hello there good morning it's 9 o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now faced with criticism from the international community he says it won't hold its military operation against the kurds in northeast syria here's what president had to say. i've told mr trump and others too if you're going to stop this stop it but you haven't stopped it so we'll take matters into our own hands we won't take a step back and we will continue this fight until all the terrorists are driven further south from the 32 kilometer border. now while there has been a backlash of donald trump's decision to step aside in northern syria attitudes towards america supposed ally the kurds does seem to be less settled but a ghastly if explains. the kurds the heroes shout the people who couldn't point

out in the map where the kurds live brave say the people who never have any never would fight alongside them how. could trump betray them say the people who couldn't care less about. it's just fashionable these days playing the card using them to get attention for pathetic little political games where is the honesty is the truth. well let's try c.n.n. in this case you're looking at not only betraying the kurds and betraying some of our other allies in the gulf region what the president has done to the kurds the betrayal of the kurds to be butchered by the turks. are the ground forces that destroyed the caliphate with american air power we've abandoned them there breaks my heart the message is clear c.n.n.

stand by the kurds or well rather some cnn's other cnn's want those terrible kurdish terrorists stamped out as soon as possible this year not to go to c.n.n. town right now on the frontier of the border point you saw it was one of the 1st targets of the p.k. k. terrorist organization as you can see at that point there was a huge explosion that area is in the hands of the p.k. k. terrorist organization and we see an end price of the boundary were approximately 70 meters away and the areas that you see around us all of them are in the hands of the p.k. k. terrorist organization absolutely remarkable c.n.n. turk license is the name on the condition that they adhere to cnn's strict journalism standards so how how did the same journalistic standards and with one c.n.n. almost worshipping kurds and the other c.n.n.

all but cheering the deaths come on picking an easy targets what sane person trust journalists these days scratch the journalists what about celebrities with their newfound admiration for kurds surely this in syria i want you to ask can there is blood on anyone's hand starting with has a president trying to is letting this happen because these people are being slaughtered after standing with our troops in the middle east for. extremely long time fighting against terrorists powerful words from the daughter of the late john mccain like father like daughter but i've been so mad this morning and so upset about this news that we are abandoning our kurdish allies in the middle of august these are allies of ours that american soldiers are still continuing to fight alongside all we did was arm them and they thought for america and to everyone in

the white house and every republican who was mad that president obama pulled out of iraq you that was unpatriotic cowards that feckless unpatriotic callid is also your daddy meghan all of you not see this photo there is your father and next to him is syrian rebel commander general salim idriss who your daddy did his best and train who is now eradicating those same kurds we are ready for an operation to the east of the euphrates these lines are currently under control of the s.t.g. which includes p.t.k. ringleaders these terrorists or key part of our homes but c'mon meghan mccain isn't john mccain she may have reason to fame entirely for being his daughter that doesn't mean she have different opinions again last example justify this

contradicting yourself we destroyed i says with the help of the kurds we can't abandon the kurds now we can't turn it over to turkey to think that will work is really. really mr graham seems like there's 2 possibilities either the senator really supports the kurds with his heart or he's just another spineless hypocrite using the kurds to score cheap political points in case you're on the fence enjoyed. this it's a recording of a righteous senator speaking to pranksters who pretended to be the turkish minister of defense you know why p.g. kurdish problem is a real problem i told pros to try a bomb or made a huge mistake in relying on the y p g curd everything i worried about is come true and now we've got to make sure that turkey is protected from the spirit in syria sympathetic to the wipe e.g.

problem and those to prosper quite frankly it honestly seems like principles and integrity going extinct i feel sorry for you abandoned by your allies facing invasion death and on top of all of that every 2 faced hypocrite has crawled out from under the rocks to use your hurt your pain or turkey's incursion into syria was launched on wednesday right after dong trump announced he was withdrawing u.s. troops from the area and so you border towns of ras al-ain and tell a bad been the main targets despite the official us exit and the american border patrol was reportedly seen on friday near tel abbey at the pentagon also said its troops came under turkish artillery find it barney another border time although nobody was. there have been more violent clashes in ecuador's

capital which has been in the grip of anti sterrett and protests for a week now spearheading the rallies are indigenous ecuadorians who continue to converge on quito one of their demands is that the country's president overturns subsystem cuts into mental as part of a loan deal with the international monetary fund something then a mere a no refuses to do. yes been another day of protests and violence here on the streets of quito as riot police clashed with protesters specially with members of the indigenous communities that came here to tito from all around the country. hundreds of indigenous people came from all across the country to join the large

group that has been camping in the city center for the days this new group came from the amazonian region issue issues. and was well organized and ready to clash with police forces and that's what they did 1st in old town quito and then they surrounded the national assembly and again dozens of injured on both sides president lenin marino hasn't moved an inch and remains firm on implementing his economic measures marino did propose direct talks with indigenous leaders but for now these a stand in the ground and say they will be no talks as long as the president doesn't provoke his economic plan so many here it's time for the president to step down they are here killing people it is unjust lenin miranda should resign we mourn the people who are not with us the president can't govern like this is practically turning into

a dictator or shooting people indiscriminately and it can go on like this international organizations a calling for both sides to scale down the violence and starts a serious dialogue but for now these calls haven't been heard now ecuadorians hold their breath hoping that the other log peaceful solution to the country's. crisis in decades nicholas o'donovan hearty. new book former n.b.c. news employee details the difficulties he faced trying to get the network to run a sexual abuse expose a running fire of accuses the channel of trying to kill his 2017 investigation into the now disgraced hollywood producer harvey weinstein and claims to you that even hillary clinton got in the way. as more of the story. harvey weinstein the man who triggered the me too movement.

who. even the former 1st lady couldn't stay away because women stick together i was shocked and appalled i was just sick i was shocked i was appalled the issue really is how terrible his behavior was and finally women have come forward to speak out about it this almost became a story that could have been because the investigation into weinstein and the rape allegations was almost killed by a channel that considers itself to be a big hit of women's rights there has been no clear example this year of journalism's ability to change the world training films do almost nothing to stop the harassment when it comes to women and sexual harassment in a topic you know i care a lot about it appears need to movement has finally hit wall street ronan farrow a pulitzer winning journalist says that n.b.c.

wanted to end these investigations they ordered a hard stop to reporting they told me and a producer working on this that we should not take a single call they told us to cancel interviews the question for years has been why why because the network got a call from a certain harvey yes the same harvey harvey weinstein who threatened to expose matt lauer's nefarious activities if the story saw the light of day well it did anyway and farrow went to the new yorker and even wrote a book catch and kill weinstein made it known to the network that he was a well behaved and capable of revealing it and it looks like hillary clinton didn't want pharaoh's investigation to be published either her of all people hillary clinton had scheduled an interview all of us at the head of the weinstein reporting and her folks got in touch and said we're working on a big story sounded very concerned and tried to cancel that interview over the weinstein over the instant stuff errol claims that clinton's publicist approached him and pressured him to drop the story and what he says was weinstein's behest

clinton's press people tried to distance themselves from the scandal. i genuinely respect ronan's work but have no idea what weinstein was saying to people to save himself what i do know is simple i've already rejected the weinstein co proposed doc about the election before talking to ronan if h.w. misrepresented facts it wouldn't be the 1st time n.b.c. denied any wrongdoing n.b.c. news signed the harvey weinstein's story to ronan we completely supported it over many months with resources both financial and editorial after 7 months without one victim or witness on the record he simply didn't have a story that mess our standard for broadcast nor that of any major news organization. now for n.b.c. to say that ronan farrow didn't have a story has got to be embarrassing at this point not only did he expose the rich and powerful but he got a pulitzer prize for doing it makes you wonder if news outlets ditch their

principles when the powerful start pressing i think his words can entirely be trusted i think what we're seeing right now is just the advancement of fake news in america you know it's like the president said just last week it's no longer fake news it's now corrupt news and n.b.c. has jumped right on that train you would think that these liberals would be all about this being that they preach social justice and feminism and women's rights but the reality is that these people have deep pockets i think that hillary clinton is only about women's rights when it's convenient for her so when you have somebody like weinstein who is able to contribute to the democratic party and able to you know have the media in his pockets because of the amount of money he has the agenda for these democrats goes out the window we've been shown this time and time again that money talks over policy so they can pretend that the policy is something that they want to get here to but the reality is when their friends have money and their

friends can finance their campaigns and finance their agendas they play dirty and i think hillary clinton's about as dirty as they come she's right down there with harvey weinstein your g.o.c. still ahead see this our muslim soldier in germany has been sent refusing to shake the hands of female offices us among the stories to come just off the press. you know world big part of the law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for

the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. in the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own personal there is greater. than . the day or thinks. we dare to ask. donald trump is claiming that saudi arabia has agreed to pay for the deployment of into of additional u.s. troops to the region it follows last month's attack on the country's oil facilities

blamed on iran by washington and also riyadh. we are sending troops and other things to the middle east to help saudi arabia but are you ready saudi arabia at my request has agreed to pay for everything we're doing the additional troops dispatched by the white house will bring the total deployment of u.s. forces to the kingdom to $3000.00 since mid september the u.s. will also increase the number of patriot missile systems and provide riyad with a 3rd defense system and washington says it's also you can to the threat from iran after last month's attack on saudi oil refineries meanwhile an iranian or tanker has reportedly been hit twice in attacks off the coast of saudi arabia a fire erupted following the incident along with an oil spill the place is since been put out and the leak contained taran condemned what happened. the

investigations conducted by the national iranian tanker company indicate the uranium tanker has sustained damage to after being targeted twice and how far really intervals from a place near its shipping route in the east of the red sea over responsibility for the act including the extensive environmental pollution in the region follow on those behind this dangerous adventurism middle east expert to share moon also former pentagon official michael maloof do you believe that the u.s. only has its own interests at heart. from my point of view we're not sure who did it but i think it's an accident it's the no you can probably find these these really are the english we're not sure but we can we can almost be sure that it's not something you love. and then you can response to it and to destroy. from that want you to decide. company so it just it just goes on and this is just

what he is he's on electoral college to say now i see a lot of people but i'm trying to rotate the piece i question the use of fads and patriots against stuff drones they're very difficult to pick up stealth drones which was the basis for the attacks that occurred. a month ago or so into saudi arabia and you need a low low frequency radar system so i question the type of equipment that's going in and certainly they need. i was surprised that the saudis hadn't put defense systems around their oil installations in the 1st place but be that as a may it's meant to show u.s. support for the saudis that equipment went in at the saudi request and of course are paying for it so that that means a more coin in the u.s. coffers so i think that it's meant to be very defensive in nature.

in germany a court has ruled against the pale of the muslim soldier who was fired for refusing to shake hands with his female colleagues. the plaintiff's position on the refusal to shake hands with women contradicts constitutionally ordered gender equality and represents disregard for the free democratic order there are serious doubts that the soldier who refuses to shake hands with women serving with him will be able to perform his duties and be ready to stand up for protection of his fellow female soldiers for years as their army contract the soldier was dismissed last year he refused to shake hands with women she to his religious beliefs $3000.00 muslims currently do serve in germany's armed forces that is 7 times less than the number of female soldiers we discussed the issue with women's rights activists power the ana and also a war correspondent yvonne ridley. if this soldier is you know they're not willing

to respect the law and the rules of the country in which they're leaving i think it's better if they leave it's better if they go and do another job unfortunately muslim soldiers have not been treated equally in the german military which is quite shocking when this pointed out germany is a democracy as for this soldier i don't believe he should have been sacked obviously battlefield conditions are quite different to the social. conditions we have to put women's rights and of course human rights on the top of everything on top of traditions on top of relations if not to we could be trucked we can allow you know not a single religious you know traditions way of thinkin to overrule the rules of the common law and what about the female perspective since you are saying that you you

promote women's rights i promote women's rights i'm a muslim woman i would not go and shake a man's hand. if i thought it was inappropriate become ballance women's rights and at the same time respect someone's religion totally we have to respect a c.v. will you know what rights of these women or doesn't feel comfortable in shaking hands of man fine but here we are talking about a saudi air and we're talking about other soldier serving with him and risking their life with him and we're talking about this women risking their life with these you know and not to feel respect not feeling you know comfortable feeling that he's some kind of extremists who doesn't believe they're not only my have to do is clearly that it wasn't a stand his religious point of view. but then i also know if i plan not to live a very practical judy i mean you can save someone if you can even touch the hand

how can you think someone in the battlefield without touching hair how only now how is it we're going silly now you are being no no no no i'm just i'm just me and you are a fan of me living in the west does not mean that people have to abandon their faith it's normal that traditions have to change with society but there's nothing bad with that or that's what i'm saying it's just enormous organic. now the international monetary fund has weighed into the debate over climate change is now telling nations to increase carbon taxes adding though that it will be the public who will have to foot the bill. to limit global warming to 2 degrees or less the level deemed safe by science large emitting countries need to take ambitious action for example they should introduce a carbon tax set to rise quickly to $75.00 a ton in 2030 this would mean household electric bills would go up by 43 percent

cumulatively over the next decade on average more in countries that still rely heavily on coal in a tricity generation and less elsewhere well the i.m.f.'s proposals of fighting climate change with tax hikes has received a mixed reception we asked people in germany france and the u.k. if they were willing to pay more. it's very unfair to basically made individuals in a new liberal logic pay for it to while in the 1st instance created system we actually already pay too much taxes for things that are actually i would say even nonsense but often we depend on the ring come for those better off yes i can see why the prices should go up but if you do that there has to be support for the people at the bottom contraflow did it feel like that's a good way of approaching climate change aspect of things yeah think of a good yeah we're going to i mean there you go east to security in my opinion the

risk is that wealthy people would pay just more money for the bells while people with an average salary would be put in a difficult situation for me it's not a practical solution except of course it's not a fact if not everyone can pay everyone can go for it for me it's a bit difficult because i live alone but in fact as long as major countries who do nothing at national or international level i believe not as much would change at the individual level unfortunately. washington d.c. thank you company this morning will be back with more news for you in just over 30 .

it was appealed to me as i lost my youth it's just. sad that it's so. sad that i'm not that satisfied just slipped. through. the official chestnut smoking. pot on the. wall. with no make its manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the

running plus isn't protect themselves. but the final merry go round if suddenly the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. delete rounds before you leave. earth last thing. that i thought i heard there the night of the comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. 6 they're so weak. kevin leman the current secretary of homeland security and a former commissioner of customs and border protection went to give a speech at georgetown law school here in d.c.

so he's the peace is in charge of overseeing our borders as importers are just something we're told to believe in like the tooth fairy or santa claus or trickle down economics or the american dream you know what we're told to care i have a lot about the borders so that we hate other human beings i don't know about you but i have more in common with a dirt poor mexican farmer than i have it common with mega rich douchebags like jeff bezos or george soros or jay z. . at least the farmer knows what it's like to have to use porta potty like. there's none of those other guys if you wanted 3 decades ok but let's be honest the moment that you decide yeah i'm going in there. that's the moment we're most human

. anyway let's get back to the secretary of homeland security kevin mclean and i'd like to play some of his speech that he gave this week because i think it's very important that we as as citizens of this fine nation give him a chance to tell us about all the wonderful things he does you know maybe he'll tell us how he can fit a child in a small tupperware container maybe maybe he'll let us know how to best teach border patrol agents to be so very racist like i could i was trying to figure out do you show them swatches of skin colors and whenever it's darker than say and unquote the marshmallow you knock on the nose and go bad bad. please mr secretary tell us your secrets. thank you.

wow. ok. that was. like well i thought it was an excellent speech. was actually like the part when the secretary of homeland security. but i can't believe those protesters don't want to hear the man speak i mean he's a celebrity are human rights are human rights abuses at the border are world renowned. luckily one of the georgetown administrator has quieted everybody down and got things back on track. this you have to lean on. goodmorning everyone.
