a journalist accuses his former network n.b.c. of trying to impede his pulitzer prize winning expose a harvey weinstein's alleged sexual abuses also means hillary clinton one of those standing in the way. also this hour the man suspected of murdering a 9 year old girl is taken into custody hundreds have rallied in the central russian city of strontium demanding the death penalty for him we spoke to the girl's aunt. louisa miller your piece it was important sweet. gymnastics just a sweet child. and as u.s. politicians celebrities and media express their sympathy for the kurds currently defending against a turkish offensive they look at whether the group is really that valuable for

their supposedly american supporters. you're watching aren't international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. and in your book a former n.b.c. news employee details the difficulties he faced trying to get the network to run a sexual abuse exposé accuses the channel of trying to kill his 2017 investigation into the now disgraced hollywood producer harvey weinstein and claims too that even her clinton did her best to get in the way and has the details. harvey weinstein the man who triggered the me too movement for more disturbing accusations emerged about hollywood executives are the one seen the most powerful man in hollywood was a serial predator up to 67 users ranging from inappropriate touching to rape they've been sexually assaulted by this monster is terrible terrible advantage

disgusting 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 beacon 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 and 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. and still reporting and her folks got in touch and said we're working out a big story sounded very concerned and tried to cancel that interview over the weinstein over the weinstein stuff there are claims that clinton's publicist approached him and pressured him to drop the story that what he says was weinstein's behest clinton's press people tried to distance themselves from the scandal i genuinely respect roman'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 code proposed dog about the election before talking to if i misrepresented facts it wouldn't be the 1st time and b c denied any wrongdoing and b c news signed the harvey weinstein's story to ruin and we completely supported it over many months with resources but financial and editorial to 7 months without one victim witness on the record he simply didn't have a story that my standard for broadcast no that's 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 on 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 it here too but their 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 is about as gerty as they caught she's right down there with

harvey weinstein. the central russian city of serato is in shock over the murder of a 9 year old girl the suspect has been taken into custody and has knitted his kilt the suspect is a 35 year old local he claims he killed the girl fearing she would tell her parents that he illegally used their garage hundreds have been protesting since the girl's body was found demanding the death penalty for the man. you know the judge did. such a thing that the. locals are mourning the deceased girl placing flowers where

a little lisa's body was reportedly found we spoke to the girl's aunt. using the arbitrators your niece wasn't with maurice we should adopt seeing and gymnastics just a sweet child i'm not sure she would talk to strangers on the street she was an open and trusting child she was told not to approach strangers or to respond to on their man she was a good and sweet child he says grandmother coop me when they discovered she was not at school she said lisa had disappeared. it was going. they need to be formed such parties people started such a long up path that will invade you we did not expect such a public reaction we simply began to post requests for help on social media and people responded and it resulted in such a big. influx

others that i expressed my deepest scratch teach the people it is an incredible response many thanks really he says mother is holding on as best she can. that's it it's worth it. all the children go to school that way when i saw paul for the past time i was shocked it was terrible i understand the anger of some people they ask why let a child go along but a lot of children use it every day he said was i'm lucky officials have promised to ensure the journey to school is safe and i hope the measures will be taken but we will not sit back he says mother will write to them again and again. the pentagon has called on turkey to stop its operation against kurdish forces in northern syria as ankara is destabilizing security in the region and putting in danger u.s. allies the kurds however defense secretary marcus for says they will not take

action in the conflict we have pows and are greatly disappointed by turkey's decision to launch a unilateral military incursion into northern syria this operation puts our s.t.'s partners in harm's way to be clear we are not abandoning our courage partner forces but i will not place american service members in the middle of a long standing call flicked between the turks and the kurds. operation peace spring began on wednesday with turkey launching airstrikes on kurdish help positions prior to the operation the us had withdrawn its forces in the area something currency as a betrayal that withdrawal sent shock waves across america with many condemning term for turning its back on the allies but there seemed to be a double standards over the issue as explains. the kurds a hero's shout the people who couldn't point out on the map where the kurds live brave say the people who never have and never would fight alongside them

how how could trump betray them say the people who couldn't care less about. it's just fashionable these days playing the odd 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

to send out to people who are sure to see an end right now on the frontier of the border point you saw 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 approximately 70 meters away in 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 c.n.n. 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 their deaths but 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 they're sincere 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 a really 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 east 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 at president obama pulled out of iraq you unpatriotic cowards that feckless unpatriotic callid is also your daddy meghan or have you not seen this photo

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 the operation to the east of the free t. s. these lands are currently under the control of the syrian democratic forces group which includes the kurdistan workers party ringleaders these terrorists occupying 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 miss the 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. case you're on the fence enjoy this it's the 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 president trump obama made a huge mistake in relying on the why p.g. kurds everything i worried about come true and now we've got to make sure that turkey is protected from the spirit in syria sympathetic to the white p.g. problem and those to prostrate court for 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 your suffering for their own pathetic advantage. the international monetary fund has weighed in on the debate over climate change advising nations to increase carbon taxes 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 $74.00 who will have to foot the bill they say electric bills could on average go up by 43 percent over the next decade and it costs would go up most and call reliant countries but let's look at the impact on

european countries in particular now as you can see here in the u.k. france and germany electric bills well on average go up by a 3rd we asked people in these countries if they're willing to pay more for a greener environment. i think it's very unfair to ahava system which is build on fossil fuels which is built to exploit the planet and then to basically made individuals in a new liberal logic pay for it we actually already pay too much taxes for things actually i would say even nonsense often we depend on the ring come for those better off so 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 in contra food it feel like that's a good way of approaching climate change aspect of things yeah things would be good 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 bills while people would 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 that everyone can pay everyone can go for it for me it's a bit difficult because i live alone. 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. still to come a court refuses to back a german muslim soldier who refused to shake hands with female troops that story and more after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development the only really engaging loses i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person of those. who dares thinks. we fear to ask.

them back to the program the ongoing syrian crisis russia's middle east policy and economic ties with arab countries these are just some of the topics touched upon in a far ranging interview given by vladimir putin to r.t. arabic. and sky news arabia that's ahead of the russian present state visits to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates here's a short preview. they stepped out of the woods 1st if anyone thinks that seizing tank is an attacking oil infrastructure can in any way affect cooperation between russia and iran friends saudi arabia and the u.a.e. they can undermine or break down our cooperation with opec plus then they are profoundly wrong so. you're a big country like iran which has existed on its territory for thousands of years it has its own interests persians and iranians have lived here for centuries and we should respect those interests those but as i sit with you you need to have dialogue to understand each other to puzzle out all the nuances intricacies and

issues without dialogue you cannot solve any problem that is why i think i can share the concerns of the u.a.e. and saudi arabia but in the case of bilateral issues it is up to them to resolve them which is to say you. do all the forces deployed illegitimately inside any sovereign state in this case syria must leave this is true for everyone if syria's new illegitimate government chooses to say that they have no more need for russia's military presence this way just is true for russia right now we are discussing this openly with all our partners including iran and turkey and we spoke about it with our american partners many times and i will be open with you as i have been with my counterparts syria must be free from other states military presence and the territorial integrity of the syrian arab republic must be completely restored. you worked for russia today don't you while it is because of people like you that russia were accused of meddling in the election.

of a showing that interview in full on sunday on r.t. also be able to watch it on our website r.t. dhaka. in germany a court has ruled against the appeal of a muslim soldier who was sacked for refusing to shake hands with 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 after 4 years as an army contractor at the soldier was dismissed last year he refused to shake hands with women due to his religious beliefs. 3000 muslims currently serve in germany's armed forces that 7 times last than the number of female soldiers we discussed the issue

with women's rights activists pollitt d'anna and war correspondent yvonne ridley. if this soldiers 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 i don't believe he should have been sucked obviously the 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 we can balance women's rights and at the same time respect someone's religion totally we have to respect to see bill you know riots of this women who doesn't feel comfortable in shaking hands of man fine but here we are talking about a soldier and we're talking about other soldier serving with him and risking their life with him and we're talking about this we men are risking their lives with these you know and not to fear respect not feeling you know comfortable feeling that he's some kind of extremists who doesn't believe they're not only might have to do is clearly that it was a stand his religious point of view. talk to them i don't know it is very very

practical today i mean you can save someone if you can't even touch the hand how can you save someone in the battlefield without touching hair how any not healthy and without any silly now you're being know that i'm just i'm just me and you leave that to me living in the west does not mean that people have to. face 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 normal so ghani that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook for up to the minute reports.

because. in this context i'm almost a last chance to ask for the last 70 and seeing and i'm under arrest today for the rights promotion of christian. branches just shoot on disk in the. command. legion mom. in our new car so sad

i'm not going to much fame it's just that our. politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to. have to go right to be press that's what i'm up for free in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my house. sitting. in a world of big partisan movies a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wait to dig deeper to get the stories

that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever. you need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bathroom 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. hello this is max kaiser this is the kaiser report you remember the wizard of oz and dorothy said if you click your heels 3 times and say i want to be home you get home something like that and of course it's an allegory about the gold standard how apropos anyway just repeating the same entre over and over again has magical impacts stacey yes it has magical impacts throughout history of course during that

time was a period of time similar to what ray deleo says we're going through again today then 1920 s. t. in 1930 s. and one of the theories or propaganda that emerged during that time is if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes the truth so with that in mind here's a tweet from paul krugman nobel economics laureate debt is money we owe to ourselves debt is money we owe to ourselves debt is money we owe to ourselves debt is money that it only makes us poor in aggregate if it crowds out investment which is isn't doing that at our level of about the vote that at that at the thought that i see that's the straw man the cowardly lion dorothy or a munchkin you know but paul krugman is making a couple of bold 'd statements there number one that we only know money to ourselves and number 2 it's not crowding out productive investment and this is of

all the outrageous really moronically things this guy has said this is gotta take the cake well of course on twitter if people write in all caps usually that's a sign of they're not very well up here so i think he seems to be doubting himself even he leaves an exit at the end which many misspells you know if it only makes us poorer in aggregate if it crowds out investment we. is isn't doing right of course it's crowding out investment you know we've got a country as we've covered many times it's a dysfunctional emergency room that takes up 1718 percent of g.d.p. disguised as a country we've got a crumbling infrastructure roads bridges tunnels are not working we've got students that are a massively in debt and probably will never add to the productivity of society all because of this the propaganda that debt doesn't matter we just know it to

ourselves but of course he's failing to mention that as a baby boomer who came on line came into his career when interest rates were 16 percent on the 10 year note thanks to paul volcker he's rid the wave of lower interest rates this entire time and pocketed that money handsomely and he has it summarily to say he's a victim also because this truth is so unpalatable to the unwashed that he would make more money if he actually told the benefits of what would be a non keynesian approach the economy but he sticks with his kenyan approach and he takes the cut in pay or that their new york times because i'm a victim oh well krugman all these flash economists out there that are actually talking about the real economy are getting paid more than i am or absurd to vent their mobile. baby boomers so what age were they in 1991 when we went off the gold .
