a. little something a little. more of. a journalist accuses his former network n.b.c. of trying to impede his pulitzer prize winning exposé harvey weinstein's alleged sexual abuses he also names hillary clinton among those trying to stand in his 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 surat of demanding the death penalty for him we spoke to the girls they. used to release it wasn't the ordinary 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 we'll look at whether the group is really valued by their

suppose an american supporters. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at our church here in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. and a new book a former n.b.c. news employee details the difficulties he faced trying to get the network to run a sexual abuse exposé on and fro accuses the channel of trying to kill his 2017 investigation into the now in disgrace hollywood producer harvey weinstein and claims also that even hillary clinton did her best to get in his way and has the details. harvey weinstein the man who triggered the me too movement for more disturbing accusations emerged about hollywood executive harvey weinstein the most powerful man in hollywood was a serial predator up to 67 accusers 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 in the rape allegations was almost killed by a channel that considers itself to be a bit 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. weinstein 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 be seen 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 and 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 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 his dirty 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 admitted his guilt the suspect is a 35 year old local he claims he killed the girl fearing that the grudge she used belong to her parents and she would tell them hundreds have been protesting since the girl's body was found demanding the death penalty for the man. that the.

locals are mourning the deceased girl placing flowers where little lisa's body was reportedly found we spoke to the girl's aunt. using the arbitrament your niece wasn't would miss we're gong to dancing 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 but she was told not to approach strangers or to respond to unknown man she was a good and sweet child he says grandmother coop and when they discovered she was not at school she said lisa had disappeared. you were. but the day needs to be formed such parties people started such a long that 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. part

of this i expressed my deepest gratitude to the people it is an incredible response many thanks really lisa's mother is holding on as best she can you. don't see this with it's. 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 a few days recent was a mucky officials have promised to ensure the judge into school is safe and i hope the measures will be taken but we will not sit 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 it says anger is despite destabilizing security in the region and putting in danger u.s. allies the kurds however defense secretary mark s.

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 conflict between the turks and the kurds operation peace spring began on wednesday with turkey launching airstrikes on kurdish held positions prior to the operation the us had withdrawn its forces in the area something currency as a betrayal it withdrawal sent shock waves across america with many condemning trump for turning his back on the allies but there seems to be some double standards over the issue as explains the kurds a heroes 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 try but trade them say the people who couldn't care less about. it's just fashionable these days playing the cod using them to get attention willful 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. but 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 or well rather some cnn's other cnn's want those terrible kurdish terrorists stamped out as soon as possible

let's turn now 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 that 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 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 end 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 this 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 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 fought for america and to everyone in the white house and every republican who is mad that president obama pulled out of iraq you that was 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 it. isis 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 it seems like there's 2 possibilities either the senator really supports the kurds with his heart or is just another spineless hypocrite using the kurds to score cheap political points in case you're on the fence enjoy this it's the recording of a righteous senator speaking to pranksters pretended to be the turkish minister of defense you know why p.g. kurdish problem is a real problem i told president trump a bomber made a huge mistake in relying on the y.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 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 your suffering for their own pathetic advantage. the international monetary fund has weighed in on the debate over climate change is rising 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 $75.00 a ton in 2030. the i.m.f. added though that it will be the public who will have to foot the bill they say electric bills could on average go up by 43 percent over the next decade average

costs would go up most in coal reliant countries but let's take a look at the impact on europeans and particular if you look at the u.k. france and germany electric bills will 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 a hobby 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 that are actually i would say even nonsense but often we depend on the ring come for those special roles you know 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 contra food it really that's a good way of approaching climate change aspect of things yeah things will be good we're going to i mean there you go to security in my opinion the risk is that

wealthy people would pay just more money for the bills while people with an average salary would be put in a difficult situation for me it's not a practical solution of course it's not a fact it's 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. still to come a court refuses to back a german muslim soldier who refused to shake hands with female troops we discuss that with our guest and much more after the short break. what holds you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you're going to be the person that's what before 3 of the people get. interested always in the water. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. and.

welcome back the ongoing syrian crisis russia's middle east policy and economic ties with the arab countries these are just some of the topics touched upon in an interview given by vladimir putin to our to arabic all our arabia and sky news arabia we'll be showing that interview in full on sunday on our to international and also be able to watch it on our to dot com but for now here is 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. that they can undermine or break down our cooperation with opec plus then they are profoundly wrong. you're a big country like iran which has existed on its territory for thousands of years as its own interests persians and iranians have lived here for centuries and we should respect those interests. but as i brought out so 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. all the forces deployed illegitimately inside any sovereign state in this case syria must leave this is true for everyone if syria's new legitimate 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 in syria must be free from other states military presence and the territorial integrity of the syrian arab republic must be completely restored.

you work for russia today don't you while it is because of people like you that russia wake used of meddling in the election. who consider via comes ahead of his official visits to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates which will be the 1st since 2007 earlier a russian journalist visited the saudi oil refineries that were attacked last month the facilities are working again but some of the destruction is still visible oil and trade along with regional security are on president putin's agenda during his visit to saudi arabia. 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 plaintiffs position on the refusal to shake hands with women contradicts constitutionally ordered gender equality and represents disregard for the free democratic order there are a series does that the soldier who refuses to shake hands with women serving with

him will be able to perform his duties and be rigid to stand up for protection of his fellow female soldiers after 4 years as an army contractor the soldier was dismissed last year he refused to shake hands with women due to his religious beliefs $3000.00 muslims currently serve in germany's armed forces that 7 times less than the number of female so soldiers we discussed the issue with women's rights activists paul deanna and 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 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 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 what rights of this women who 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 soldiers serving with him and risking their life with him and we're talking about this women risking their lives 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 might have had to do is clearly that it wasn't a stand his religious point of view. talk to them i also know it is very very practical today i mean you can save someone if you can even touch the hand how can you save someone in the battlefield without touching hair only not healthy and without any finally now you're being no no no no i'm just i'm just me and you all sang to me living in the west does not mean the people have to abandon the 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 ghani. that's our global news

update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our web site r t dot com for the details on all those stories and many more. the world is driven by shaped by one person of those. who dares thinks. we dare to ask.

to. be sure even though you just look. at this convention for a moment allow him should ask for the astrovan he had seen and done today for the dutch pro who should. commission. brits who just shoot on disc in the. asian community no hmong. teacher mom. no new car

so set on the open in much the same. new mama is just a back yard of. this is a murder that was caught on video the murder was committed by the great street crips it was an in-house murder meaning that a street kripke killed another great street crips oftentimes gang members go by colds and one of the code says to never commit crimes against your own gang members in this particular scenario or murder investigation there was a. transplant that was a narcotics user he went to purchase narcotics from 3 crew members on the narcotics

was either bad or he was somehow slighted on it as a result he went to another grave streaker gang member in got a gun with a gun the transience shot and killed a gang member at the time of the shooting there was another great street gang member with each person that was killed the victim of the murder and according to the game code he asked to make amends for allowing a gang member to be killed on his own watch. if he doesn't act toward take. some sort of action against the shooter that he will be disciplined by his own gang so. on this scenario that particular crips gang member. carries out the murder against the great street gang member who provided the gun to the transit and it's all caught on video. this is inside jordan downs it's mid day and you can see there's about 10 to 15 gang members loading the parking lot.

just going about their daily business. ok here's the group here of the game members several of them loading you going to see the victim of the shooting come running. to this area with the suspect shooting behind them. here you can see all the gay members scatter. and they kind of hang around. because they know it's going to be a great street on great street or who's disciplining another member so they sit. around and watch where it is it was a rival gang shooting all of them with one out of the way because they'd all be intended targets here the suspect is chasing the victim around the vehicle. and he's just waiting to kill him. here the victim tries to run the suspect shoots him in the hand. he falls. and then he comes up and finishes among.

he puts the gun in his back we're going to somebody and then just slowly walks away he has nothing really to fear here in the neighborhood because they're all great she crips gang members and he's banking on the fact that no one's going to go to court and testify against them. and you see that nobody's really shocked about it nobody's talking about it nobody chased down the suspect. and then they just go about their daily activities and then obviously homicide will come in and start their investigation. the 1st time i was shot 3 times i mean i really didn't realize until my stomach start burning stomach start burning i knew something wasn't right so. i want to spit and i want to spit the spitting come all the way out of my mouth there must i stop burning even more call an ambulance basically and i got shot the 10. it was early in the morning i was actually stranded somewhere somebody walked up but as a as bad as bad came from behind his back and called me by name and shabby in my face 1st.
