a journalist accuses his former network n.b.c. of trying to impede his pulitzer prize winning expose a of harvey weinstein's alleged sexual abuse is he also names hillary clinton among those who stood in the way. the man suspected of murdering a 9 year old girl is taken into custody hundreds of rallied in the central russian's city of surat up they've been demanding the death penalty we spoke to the girl's aunt. peace was important to dancing and gymnastics just as sweet child. and as u.s. politicians celebrities and media express their sympathy for the kurds and the defending against the turkish offensive we look at whether the group is really valued by the supposed that american support.

ok saturday evening here in the russian capital lots of places you can be of course very glad you joined us here on r.t. international. in 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 exposing run and farrow accuses the channel of trying to kill his 2017 investigation into the now disgraced hollywood producer harvey weinstein. that even hillary clinton did her best to get in the way more pain reports. 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 for up to 67 accusers ranging from inappropriate touching to rape

they'd 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 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. 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 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 rodents work but have no idea what weinstein was saying to people to say for himself what i do know is simple i've already rejected the weinstein code proposed dog about the election before talking to if i used nobody 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 of the 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 sort of asshole position over the murder of a 9 year old girl the suspect has been taken into custody after confirming his guilt the suspect to the 35 year old local who claims he killed the girl fearing that the garage that he use belongs to her parents and that she'd tell them hundreds of been protesting since he goes he was found demanding the death penalty for the amount. of the.

locals mourning the deceased go placing flowers so little lisa's body was reportedly found we spoke to girls in the family's 1st interview given since the tragedy. using your niece was an ordinary sweet guy should adopt seeing in 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 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. but they need to be formed such parties people started such and were along that path but it was all in vain 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. brother that i expressed my deepest scratched you to 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 that part for the 1st time i was shocked it was terrible i understand the anger of some people they ask why let a child go along that path 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 to the to stop its operation against kurdish forces in northern syria says that anchor is the stabilizing security in the region putting

in danger u.s. allies the kurds whether defense secretary marcus besides that they will not take action in the conflict we have pows and are greatly disappointed by turkey's decision to watch 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 held positions prata that operation the united states had withdrawn its forces in the area something could see as a betrayal withdrawal sent shock waves across america with many condemning trump for turning his back on their allies but there seems to be some double standards over the issue as man gets the 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 any 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 card using them to get attention or for pathetic little political games where's the honesty where's 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. right now on the frontier of the border 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 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 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. 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 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 list 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 unusual oh really mr graham it seems like there's 2 possibilities either the senator really supports the kurds with his heart or ease 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 who pretended to be the turkish minister of defense you know why p.g. kurdish problem is a real problem i told president trump the obama made a huge mistake and relying on the y.p. g. kurds everything i worried about has come true and now we've got to make sure that turkey is protected from disparate and syria sympathetic to the white p.g.

problem and so's the president 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 cooled out from under the rocks to use your hurt your pain your suffering for their own pathetic advantage there's been a deadly attack on a mosque in west africa stay tuned for that story under this after the short break .

we've got a crumbling infrastructure roads bridges tunnels are not working we've got students that are and massively in debt and probably will never add to the productivity of society all because. of the propaganda that doesn't matter we just know it to ourselves.

at least 16 people have been killed in an attack on a mosque in the west african nation of bikini a gunman opened fire inside the building during friday prayers. discuss this issue with correspondents. reports have just come in as you said 16 people have been killed and 2 others seriously injured in a mosque attack in the kenya fast so this actually happened late on friday boy only now beginning to piece together the story because there's very little information even now what we do know is that a number of unidentified gunman opened fire in a mosque in a village in the rules of the west african country and this is not the only country suffering from attacks well no again we don't know anything about the motives of the group involved in this particular attack but we can say that the incident is a rat in the region i mean foster has been battling in his the midst insurgency and

we're seeing the terra spill into for example mali which is in a conflict with the hardest. and in fact to the very start of october we saw one of the deadliest attacks in the region in recent times and that was off to mali and on the bases on the border with with you know with targeted not result in the death of 8 soldiers and several dozens are still missing as is often an affiliate of al qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack this of course led to heighten pressure on the 1000000 government from its people who say that not enough is being done to tackle the issue of the is a missed insurgency and this frustration was really bolstered by cries of several other west african countries who are worried obviously about the spillover into within their own borders why a particular. so while islamist this is

a hot spot is something they want to get their hands on because it's part of a vast space called so how and this is a land that stretches from africa to coast all the way to our trailer and for them they believe that if they can establish their presence in that region and gain access to certain major ports they'll be able to establish a clear. trafficking route for both drugs and weapons from oh why are a perception of what the international reaction to what's going on in the region while the international community would argue that it's doing its best to try and calm the conflict the e.u. for example is committed to building security in the region and it's keen to prevent any spillover of crime terrorism and crucially migration it is of course in the europeans interest. to get to the root of the issue so that they do not have any mass migration into the continent which is obviously as we well know a controversial and divisive political issue in europe since 2015 the french for

example of got boots on the ground on the ground and various nations including the u.k. germany and spain send in surveillance aircraft they've been a bit more hesitant to send in troops but there's been little success from these efforts because the contributions are widely considered small poorly coordinated too often just coming too late and that's possible was a sort of final point where the cynics would say that international efforts to help including providing aid as well as troops are part of a wider geopolitical game the u.s. and china for example are both keen to gain influence all across africa since it provides an amazing opportunity for infrastructure including the building of ports of railways of roads china is actually slightly ahead in the race for sort of trade and influence in the region so a lot of political issues in play here africa is important strategically and

unfortunately all these major powers of just looking for influence in the region we are seeing an increasing number of attacks just like this. the syrian crisis russia's middle east policy and economic ties with our of countries these are just some of the topics upon in a far ranging interview given by vladimir putin to r.t. arabic and sky news arabia will be showing the full on sunday on the national you can also check it out at our website ulti dot com for no here's a quick 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 it has its own interests persians and iranians have lived here for centuries and we

should respect those interests those that as our butts of which if nuance 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 work for russia today don't you while it is because of people like you that russia were accused of meddling in the election. but is in fear comes out of his official visits to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates which will be the 1st since 2007 the russian journalist visited the saudi oil refineries attacked last month the facilities are working again but some of the destruction is still visible oil. and straight along with regional security they are on president putin's agenda during his visit to saudi arabia. international monetary fund has weighed in on the debate over climate change its vising 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 tonne in 2030 or the i.m.f. added that it will be the public you'll have to foot the bill they say electric bills could on average go up by 43 percent over the next decade energy costs were to go post in coal reliant countries ok let's take a look then at the impact there is estimated for europeans in particular now as you can see on the figures about to show you in the u.k. france and germany ouch electricity bills set on average to go up by a 3rd we asked people in those countries if they're willing do you really think they are to pay more for a greener environment. i think it's very unfair it through a system which is built on fossil fuels which is built to exploit the planet and then to basically made individuals in a neo liberal logic pay for it we actually already pay too much taxes for things i would say even nonsense but often we depend on the ring come for those pressure 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 the contre food it surely that's a good way of approaching the climate change aspect of things yeah think of it we're going to i'm in a veto 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 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. 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. ok you watching out internationally knew that but we do appreciate your company and hope you stick around enjoy be with updates and often are.
