the. journalist accuses his former network n.b.c. of trying to impede his pulitzer prize winning exposé of the weinstein's alleged sexual abuses names hillary clinton among those standing in the way. man suspected of murdering a 9 year old girl is taken into custody 100 said rallied in the central russian city of sort of demanding the death penalty you've spoken with the girls aren't. you. lisa was an ordinary sweet dancing and gymnastics just as sweet child. us politicians celebrities and media express their sympathy for but could scarcely defending against the turkish offensive we look at whether the group is really valued by this supposed american support since.

joining us to see this is r.t. and. 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 expose a known and farrow accuses the channel of trying to kill his 2017 investigation into the now they scraped hollywood producer harvey weinstein and he claims to that even hillary clinton did her best to get in the way it more than explains. 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. 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 be seen denied any wrongdoing and b c news signed the harvey weinstein's story to run and we completely supported it over many months with resources both financial and editorial of 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 just 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 to 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 is about as gerty as they caught she's right down there with harvey weinstein. the central russian city of some rough stuff is in

shock over the murder of a 9 year old girl the suspect has been taken into custody after confirming his guilt the suspect is a 35 year old local man who claims that he killed the girl fearing that the garage she used belonged to her parents and that she would tell them hundreds of been protesting since the girl's body was found demanding the death penalty for the man . the. locals are mourning the deceased girl placing flowers where little lisa's body was

reportedly found we spoke to the girl's aunt in the family's 1st interview since the tragedy. you say your piece 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 but she was told not to approach strangers or to respond to unknown man she was a good and sweet child he says grandmother called me when they discovered she was not at school she said lisa had disappeared. but they immediately form such parties people started searching all 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 resulted in such a big such. pledge

by this 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. dance it is with. 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. kurdish officials say there was an escape attempt by isis family members from the al hole refugee camp that's in the region of northern syria attacked by turkey was caught on video security stopped the prisoners from fleeing officials are that

dozens of residents attacked the exit gate of the camp where tens of thousands of isis relatives are stationed a spokesperson 'd for kurdish forces said the security situation in the area was critical circuit began its offensive on northern syria on wednesday similar warnings have been raised not only by kurds but internationally as well. the version does not only threaten the reactivation or revival of islamic states but has revived and activated its cells in chemistry and other areas where they're fighting on 2 fronts one against the turkish invasion and another against the day if you're going to zation. if you stay with the thread. well they're going to be escaping to europe that's where they want to go with military action will undermine the security of their local partners namely the kurdish forces and risk protect it is stability in northeast syria providing 1st time round for dinner sergeants. there are hundreds and thousands of i saw militants where will they go this is

a real threat to all of us the pentagon is denying any responsibility for isis prisoners in the area insisting that this is job. as i understand it the united states has no legal responsibility for those detainees the turkish military has responsibility not only for the prisoners but for collateral damage military sources all the rest of it in the areas in which they are conducting a large scale military operation that is big doubt that you would be able to do with that 1st of all will arrive to that particular camp and 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 taking. most of them out of europe began they brought up there in europe and that. did not do much to stop them coming to

syria and simply they know their way to go back or to put it to another country is they managed to go through. that they managed to do you believe that they have realized. so they could be as well they could leave that blaze and go somewhere we don't know to europe to other countries. for sure that are at risk. operation peace spring began on wednesday with turkey hooting as strikes on kurdish positions prior to the operation the u.s. had withdrawn its forces in the area something could saw as a betrayal withdrawal sent shock waves across america many condemned term for turning his back on allies but there may have been double standards in the issue because the of takes a closer look at the kurds the heroes shout the people who couldn't point out in the map where the kurds live they're brave say the people who never have any never would fight alongside them how how could try 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 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 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 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 c.n.n. 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 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 extreme a long time fighting against terrorists powerful words from the do the village 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 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 the 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 more work is really. really missed the 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 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 wipe e.g. problem and those to prostrate court 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 western africa will bring you that story and more after this break. we've got a crumbling infrastructure roads bridges tunnels are not working we've got students that are in massively in debt and probably will never add to the productivity of society all because of this and the propaganda that doesn't matter we just know it to ourselves.

the war in syria seems to be winding down with some syrians returning to their homeland but going back to a normal life now seems like a pipe dream after almost a decade of proxy war. 2 years of proxy peace. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only really. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

at least 16 people being killed in the attack on a mosque in the west african nation of gunmen opened fire inside the building during friday prayers. while reports have just come in as he said that 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 or 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 isn't in the region i mean it has been battling in islam missed insurgency and we're seeing the terror spill into for example mali which is in the 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 you know with targeted not result in the death of 8 soldiers and several dozens all still missing as is often an affiliate of al qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack this of course led to heightened pressure on the 1000000 government from its people who say that not enough is being done to tackle the issue of the islamist insurgency and this frustration was really bolstered by cries of several other west african countries who are worried about the spillover into wild 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's atlantico all the weight or trade 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 her perception and 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 interests in order 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 sent 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 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 the bomb in a far ranging interview given by vladimir putin to a big sky news arabia will show that interview for on sunday hero martin international you can also catch it on our website as you don't go here is 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. 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 those that as our butts of which if you are so 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 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. if 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.

put into victims ahead of official visits to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates which will be his 1st state $1007.00 russian journalists visited the saudi over refineries attacked last month those facilities are in operation again although. some of the signs of destruction the still visible oil and trades along with regional security are on president putin's agenda during his visit to saudi arabia. to get the russians up for this news hour thomas something about that today it's about how far.

in this connection to moment a last chance to ask for the last company and seeing and on the best day for the rights promotion commission. branches just shoot on disk in the. green zone leachate. no new car so said i'm not going to much fame mama it's just that.

you know world's big partners through a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we know. need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each of its target for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome to maximize their financial survival guide. looking forward to years that's without. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain don't want this i. watched as a report. thinking of getting a new puppy once we got our shoes no problem was he didn't know until he was

trapped in this tiny little wired how much we don't need a crate with him he will just stir freaking out and she will want to spray him anywhere near and thousands of breeding dogs that caged in in human conditions on puppy farms i mean 67 years you know they've been locked up in cages outside you see no protection from the weather the heat you know the courtier the rain the snow the founder nothing they have no protection. but you. know it's ok. across the us cruel puppy mills are supported by dog shows and pet stores most of the puppies are coming from this large scale factory farming kind of operations are being sold in stores even joined a good businesses are involved like ogling mom santa there has been a shocking amount of organized opposition to efforts to increase the standards of care for dogs bred in commercial breeding for so many most of that opposition is

coming from huge agricultural groups and industries that have nothing to do with jobs don't buy dog. yet. thank you. this. is the comedy show where americans in america covering american news are called foreign agents. 6 this week 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 a 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 douche bag like jeff bezos or george soros or jay z. . at least the farmer knows what it's like to have to use porta potti like. there's none of those other guys have used one in 3 decades ok but 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.
