3:01 pm
joining us this evening this is 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 exposé ronan farrow accuses the channel of trying to kill his 2017 investigation into the now disgraced hollywood producer harvey weinstein and he claims today that even hillary clinton did the best to get in the way. 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 the hollywood was a serial predator up to 67 accusers ranging from inappropriate touching to great 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
3:02 pm
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 his investigation they ordered a hard stop to reporting they told me and a producer working on this that we should not take
3:03 pm
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
3:04 pm
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 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 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
3:05 pm
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 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 is right down there with harvey weinstein. the central russian city of surat off is in shock

3:08 pm
of this that i expressed my deepest gratitude 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's 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 turkey to stop its operation against kurdish forces in northern syria says anger is d.c. stabilizing security in the region and putting in danger u.s. allies the kurds defense secretary says that they will not take action in the

3:10 pm

3:14 pm
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 he's just another spineless hypocrite using the kurds to score cheap political points in case you're on the fence enjoy this it's a recording of a righteous senator speaking to pranksters who pretended to be the turkish minister of defense your y.p. g. kurdish problem is a real problem i told president trump the obama made a huge mistake and relying on the why p.g. kurds 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 white p.g. problem and those to prosper quite frankly it honestly seems like principles and
3:15 pm
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 vantage. meanwhile kurdish officials say that there was an escape attempt by isis family members from the al hole refugee camp in the region of northern syria that was attacked by turkey escape it and was caught on video cameras security stopped the business from fleeing officials dozens of residents attacked the exit gates of the camp the 10s of thousands of isis relatives are stationed a spokesperson for the kurdish forces said the security situation in the area is critical since turkey began its offensive on northern syria on wednesday similar warnings have been raised not only by the kurds but internationally as well. the

3:17 pm
responsibility not only for the prisoners for collateral damage humanitarian assistance all the rest of it in the areas in which they're conducting a large scale military operation there is big doubt that he would be able to do with that 1st of all will. that particular find them safely guarded or will be most of them gun or even if. i mean many students that how they will deal with them their main road has to be on the europeans they can. be as members most of them to europe begins they brought up there and you would hope. that you do this not much to stop them coming to see it it is simply they know their way to go back or to put it to another country is they managed to go through. this he believes that they have realized. so they could be as well they could leave that place and go somewhere we don't know
3:18 pm
to europe to other countries we don't know for sure that are at risk. there's been a deadly attack on a mosque in west africa i don't think that story under this after this break. the world is driven by a dream shaped by one person. thinks . we dare to ask. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation
3:19 pm
let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. at least 16 people are being killed in an attack in a mosque in the west african nation of picking a fast gunman opened fire inside the building during friday press. discussed the issue with. while reports have just come in as you said 16 people have been killed
3:20 pm
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 faster 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 army bases on the border with with targeted not result in the death of 8 soldiers
3:21 pm
and several dozens all 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 about the spillover into within their own borders why are particularly so while for the islamists this is a hotspot it's 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 open wider perception of
3:22 pm
what's 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 to 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 to often just come too late and that's possible was a sort of final point where the cynics would say that international efforts to help
3:23 pm
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 jostling for influence in the region we are seeing an increasing number of attacks just like this. going syrian crisis russia's middle east policy and economic ties with arab countries just some of the topics to far ranging interview given by vladimir putin to our big . sky news review it will show that interview full on sunday here amounted to national you can also watch it on our website or to dot com for now here's
3:24 pm
a preview. at least it took at the word 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. so that 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. but as i brought out so with you from your answer 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
3:25 pm
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 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. putin's interview comes ahead of his official visits to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates which will be the 1st since 2007 russian journalist visited the saudi all refineries that were attacked last month those facilities all working against
3:26 pm
some of the destruction is the visible the oil. and trite along with regional security they are on president putin's agenda for his visit to saudi arabia. ok that was about it today appreciate your company this evening i'll be back with more and often i. guess. in this connection i'm almost laugh and ask for the last 70 and seeing and i'm interested for that promotion commission.
3:27 pm
branches just shoot on disk in the. coming months. leachate mom. and i'm going to go so said i'm not going to much the same new mama it's just that are ya know. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express an injury. or some want to. have to be right to be pro-choice that's what i'm up for 3 of them or can't be good . i'm interested always in the water using. yes sydney.
3:28 pm
you know world of big partisan movies lot 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 on the bath and shouting past each other that it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. hello this is max kaiser this is the kaiser report you remember the wizard of oz
3:29 pm
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 that 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 the doubt that at that at the thought that
3:30 pm
a this is a that's a straw man in the cowardly lion dorothy or a munchkin and you know but paul krugman is making a couple of bold 'd statements there number one that we only know money through 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 got to 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 when he misspells you know if it only makes us poor in aggregate if it crowds out investment which is isn't doing right of course it's crowding out vestment you know we've got a country we've covered many times it's a dysfunctional emergency room that takes up 1718 percent.
