ok i think i would look like. a journalist accuses his former network n.b.c. of trying to impede his pulitzer prize winning exposé of harvey weinstein alleged sexual abuses he also named. the man suspected of murdering a 9 year old girl was taken into custody hundreds. demanding the death penalty we spoke to the girls at. least it was important. in gymnastics just as the child. as us politicians celebrities and media express their sympathy for the kurds defending against. the group is really valued by their supposed american supporters.

national. pride in a new book a former n.b.c. news employee details the difficulties he faced trying to get to 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 claims also that even hillary clinton did her best to get in the way reports harvey weinstein the man who triggered the me too movement for more disturbing accusations emerged about hollywood executives. the most powerful man in hollywood was. up to 67 ranging from inappropriate touching to rape a. monster is terrible terrible and disgusting. even the former 1st lady

couldn't stay away because women stick together i was shocked and appalled i was 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 the 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 instant stuff errol claims that clinton's publicist approached him and pressured him to drop the story and what he says was weinstein's behest clinton's press people tried to distance themselves from the scandal i genuinely respect rodents were. but have no idea what weinstein was saying to people to save

him so what i do know is simple i've already rejected the weinstein code proposed dork about the election before talking to if i used to be misrepresented franks it wouldn't be the 1st time and b c denied any wrongdoing and b c news signed the harvey weinstein's story to road 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 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 have 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 has 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 as dirty as they caught she is right down there with harvey weinstein. the central russian city of surats off is in shock over the

murder of a 9 year old girl the suspect has been taken into custody after confessing to the crime the man is a 35 year old local he claims he killed the girl after get this she asked about an abandoned garage she was using fearing that it might belong to her parents hundreds have been protesting since the girl's body was found demanding that the death penalty be issued for the mend. the judge did. he cut the.

locals are mourning the deceased girl placing flowers where her body was reportedly found we've spoken to the girl's aunt in the family's 1st interview since the tragedy. which lisa was an ordinary sweet guy 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 but she was told not to approach strangers all 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. it's obvious that they need to be formed such parties people started such and 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 it resulted in such a big. part

of this that i expressed my deepest scratched you to the people it is an incredible response many thanks really lisa's mother is holding on as best she can you. see if 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. some people they ask why let a child go along the path but a lot of children use it every day he said was i'm lucky officials have promised to ensure the johnny 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 a scape tent by ice all family members from the whole refugee camp in the region of northern syria attacked by turkey escape attempt was caught on video cam security

stopped them fleeing officials say dozens of residents attacked the exit gate of the camp where tens of thousands of relatives are kept a spokesperson for the kurdish forces said the security situation in the area was 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 vision does not only threaten the reactivation or revival of islamic states 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. fighting to stay been told with a threat elsewhere well they're going to be escaping to europe where they want to go military action will undermine the security of the coalition partners and namely the kurdish forces and risk protect it is the ability in northeast syria providing 1st time to ground for discharge and. there are hundreds and thousands of ice or

militants where will they go this is a real threat to all of us the pentagon is denying any responsibility for eyes on prisoners in the area insisting that that is turkey's 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 for collateral damage humanitarian assistance all the rest of it in the areas in which they're conducting a large scale military operation that is big doubt that he would be able to do with that 1st of all when i arrived at that particular camp and find them safely god did or. most of them gun or even if. i mean man is to do that how they will deal with them their main road has to be on the europeans taking. most of them out of europe they brought up there. and it's not. there's not much to stop them coming to see it it is

simply they know their way to go back or to put it another country is they managed to go through and yet through this they managed to he believes that they have realized. so they could be as well they could leave the 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 launching airstrikes on kurdish held positions prior to the operation the u.s. had withdrawn its forces in the area something kurds see as a betrayal of the withdrawal and 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 are. comments. the kurds the heroes 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. 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 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 for 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 in that area in the hands of the p.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 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 extremely long time fighting against terrorists powerful words from the door to 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 was mad that president obama pulled out of iraq you

unpatriotic cowards that feckless unpatriotic callid is also your daddy meghan all of you not see this photo there 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 grid him it seems like there's 2 possibilities either the senator really supports the kurds with who's in the score cheap political points in case you're on the fence enjoy this it's a recording of a righteous sent. 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 a bomber made a huge mistake in relying on the y.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 and sympathetic to the why p.g. problem and those depressed are 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. at least 16 people have been killed in an attack on a mosque in the west african nation of burkina faso gunmen opened fire inside the building during friday prayers earlier my colleague jacqueline volga discussed the issue with r.t. correspondents ask you taylor. while reports have just come in as you said 16 people have been killed and 2 others seriously injured in a mosque attack in kenya faso this actually happened late on friday though 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 while 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 it has been battling in his list insurgency and we're seeing the terror 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 the 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 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'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 o. why her perception of 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. 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 on various nations including the u.k. germany and spain send in surveillance 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 are just sitting influence in the region we are seeing an increasing number of attacks just like this. young going syrian crisis or russia's middle east policy and economic ties of the arab countries these are just some of the topics touched upon in a far ranging interview given in to our to your big. discussion news there. we'll be showing you that full interview on sunday on our to international now you will also be able to watch it on r.t. dot com here's a preview. circuit least of 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 us then they are profoundly wrong so. big country like iran which has existed on its territory for thousands of years has its own interests potions and iranians have lived here for centuries and we should respect those interests. but as i sit with you 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 in 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. puts his interview comes ahead of his official visit to saudi arabia and the united arab emirates which will be the 1st since 2007 earlier russian journalist visited the saudi oil refineries attack last month now the facilities are working again but some of the destruction is still visible oil and trade along with regional security are on president put in the gender during his visit to saudi arabia. headlines of.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy

confrontation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. what holds and to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to be rich. but you're going to be the person that's what before 3 of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of our. first sit. in front of.

the polls because. of this connection to moment allowed him should ask for the last 70 and seen and done the rest for the rights pro who should commission so you know branches just shoot on disk in the. asian community. leachate mom. you know you look are so set on the open much to me mama it's just that our. no.

the welcome to worlds apart of the war in syria may be winding down and the level of violence has subsided dramatically but i returned to normal life still seems like a pipe dream after almost a decade of proxy war is syria now doing 2 years if not decades of proxy peace well to discuss that i'm now joined by peter mauer president of the international committee of the red cross mr maher it's always good to talk to you thank you very much for finding types for having me now you are now in moscow to take part in the

warshaw that deals with what essentially are the laws of wars the geneva conventions but this is not how this event is officially called instead it makes reference to international rules governing military operations is it just me quibbling over semantics or has they indeed been a shift on the battlefield from the loss to the rules with the letter i assume being last restrictive. well i think there have been many shifts in the battlefields over the last decades and recently we have seen that it is more important and maybe did just to teach the generalities of flaws in try and in the geneva conventions to look much more in detail to. the ground rules and the rules of engagements that militaries have in the battlefields to compare notes to look at good experiences as well which have proven to protect civilians better than others and i think this is what this workshop is very much about i think you have seen we

bring together more than $103.00 and $4.00 star generals from over 70 countries with which we entertain regular contacts but also which are engaged in their day to day life into military operations so it's an exchange of experience and they have a classical exchange a very practical exchange of experts and this is the 1st time that this workshop is being held in russia where russia's defense ministry acting as the bounce partner and i assume there are lots of people and cultures who don't like russia's defense ministry as an entity let alone and contact in military zones such as syria have you experienced any pushback on holding this specific event in this country i.c.r.c. has no likes and dislikes of ministries and i'm sure your undying were below internal intrigues and well we do have we appreciate the

contacts with militaries of defense with armed forces that's the core activity of i.c.r.c. and we have been very appreciative for after some explanations also of the last 2 years to have agreement from the ministry of defense to host this workshop i think it is important that armed forces who have practical experience and who are engaged . in today's military battlefield site at the same time host and it gives credibility to a workshop i had the privilege of interviewing him before when the syrian conflict was at its nadir and when the criticism of russia's military conduct in syria was very loud very prominent. as this war is now in.
