citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electoral small and it's getting worse. in the headlines this lunchtime from major u.s. network killed a bombshell interview allegedly proving sexual assault. according to a leaked video. everything. i tried for years to no avail and now it's coming out. of revelations i. so like. protests and violence bring the country to a level. president claims a rise of his with mr extremist groups threatens the very existence of his country despite the presence of french forces in the west african nation.

hi good afternoon just 1 pm here in moscow. and here with. so 1st leaked video appears to cast doubt on the impartiality of america's a.b.c. news in it a network claims the channel quashed her explosive interview with an accuser of disgraced tycoon geoffrey epstein back in 2015 allegedly detailing the convicted paedophiles predatory behavior this is a part of the video obtained by transparency group project veritas for. everything . i tried. to no avail and now it's coming out well of revelations i have. every day i get more and more

pissed because i'm just like. it was what was on real now this came to us from an insider within the network an insider who currently works at a.b.c. news leaked this tape and that person is. still on the inside so that we expect more to come here it's quite telling that this insider leaked this tape to project their it's us and not the washington post the new york times c.b.s. or c.n.n. because they seem to want to protect the people that we're working with jeffrey f. seen again amy robach saying that f f c was blackmailing people there's a lot of powerful people on those airplanes that amy is 100 percent certain he did not commit suicide i don't know why she won't say that publicly but there she is in the leaked tape on the set of the program saying these things when nobody is looking for a quick recap of the background of the story the 66 year old multimillionaire was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008 and then registered as a sex offender back in july he was arrested again and was about to face trial over

the alleged creation of a sex trafficking network you to peacefully deny those charges a month later epstein was found dead in his cell apparent suicide saskia taylor reports. live t.v. one o one check your mike then check it again project veritas has published bombshell footage of an a.b.c. anchor recorded in late august shortly after the disgraced billionaire was found dead in his new york jail cell amy roebuck said over 3 years ago she had exclusive material relating to peter fathering material which had direct testimony from one of the victim's photos as well as other evidence of his dealings which implicated high profile figures like bill clinton prince andrew she told me everything she sure did everything she was fighting for 12 years making history come out we can is here to talk to us it was unbelievable what we have cleared with everything robot claims the story was stopped from going to 2015 because according to the people as

no one knew who was funny that because just a few years before they've been happily sipping champagne on his manhattan townhouse you see back in 20 meter heavyweights gathered out to dinner and on of the u.k.'s prince andrew a dinner which was arranged on hosted by you guessed it south and among those who wouldn't know who epstein was were both a.b.c. and c.b.s. phosphor 2015 managed to entice virginia robots to free one of the victims out of hiding produces for you her and her family out to the a.b.c. h.q. in new york and hosted them and one of the big apple's most luxurious hotels what they got was the scoop of a lifetime to free through wind open the door on the marquee world of apps tide and his entourage as they flew around the walls on his private jet dubbed the lita

express powers found out that we have her whole allegations are false andrew and threatened us a 1000000 different ways i viewed b.b.c. interview. as a potential game changer appearing on a.b.c. with its wide viewership would have been the 1st time for me to speak out against the government for basically looking the other way and to describe the anger and betrayal victims felt i was defeated once again by the very people i spoke out against and once again my voice was silenced i could not believe that for a minute bill network like a.b.c. had backed down and given unfold those who are going to cry conspiracy one of that was even came forward and confirmed he put pressure on the network to kill the story i simply provided a.b.c. with incontrovertibly evidence proving that jeffrey had a long history of lying about tipper and al gore her age and other matters and that

her credibility could not be counted on and while this exposé was obsessing more salacious than all the reports on that side it wasn't the fust time his morals have been called into question stories piecing together a tangled web involving bill clinton and prince andrew had sophos before images of the finance his little black book with hundreds of victims names and mugged alongside testimony from a 14 year old go claiming to have had sexual relations with a billionaire manhattanites gossipped about how new york city it was being ferried around on his private plane to his private island along with the coterie of very young women but all those about the nation's just like robotics were put back in the troll at the time not all are reporting there are standards to air but we have never stopped investigating this story ever since we've had a team on this investigation and substantial resources dedicated to it that work

has led to a 2 hour documentary and 6 part podcast that will air in the new year you'd be forgiven if that rings a bell because a.b.c. is responses uncannily similar to. b c's comment about its coverage. of of media mogul harvey weinstein me and b.c. killed the story because they said you did not have enough facts it didn't reach their level of journalism yes we had multiple named women in every draft of the story we had audio of harvey weinstein admitting to a crime but more pertinently they ordered us to stop and it seems a.b.c. was not the only one to fall into the trap of enabling abstaining to evade true media scrutiny but it's vanity fair and the new york times had several allegations of his inappropriate sexual behavior but chose to stick to say 5 stories on things like the origins of his wealth and was sought careful to avoid reporting some of the more suspicious details surrounding his death are a lot of men in those planes

a lot of men who visited that island the powerful man who came into our hands in 2 i think he was killed 100 percent yes and maybe a.b.c. was right no one knew who was or maybe it didn't want to get on the wrong side of some very powerful people people who if you believe the rumors might just now have blood on their hands. i do so some more saying the comments were made in a private moment of frustration while the founder of project veritas james o'keefe again says a.b.c. sold him pulls his punches when it comes to other high profile cases that. you can see how frustrated amy robock when you listen when you watch this tape it directly contradicts what a.b.c. news is saying publicly now about not having enough corroboration there they're fine airing the allegations against maybe brett kavanaugh for or trump or anybody else but when it comes to bill clinton and some of these folks 'd that are

mentioned by amy in this hot mike tape they say they just didn't have enough corroboration i'm not sure how a.b.c. news defines a corroboration when it comes to credible witnesses talking about sexual assault but the only conclusion i can draw is that a lot of these network executives are very close to the people they were hanging out with jeffrey epstein per amy amy roebuck's. thanks today iraq is holding talks on constitution amendments are made on going volunteer the rest of the country 260 people have been killed this since anti-government demonstrations started a month ago protesters are demanding a major overhaul of the political system that was set up after the u.s. led invasion back in 2003 aunties daniel whole kids. iraq is no stranger to turmoil the country's seen little piece and even less the belief he since the u.s. led invasion of 2003 mass protests and violence of regulating gulf the state of these though are the worst since the overthrow of saddam hussein 16 years ago.

hundreds killed dozens in just one week by live ammunition many thousands injured amid a heavy crackdown by security forces other governments to provide special forces imposed curfews and an internet blackout across the whole country but i. just angered crowds even more roads and bridges have been blocked by demonstrators who have also tried to take over buildings both in the capital baghdad and across other cities why is this happening but to some these protests address years of grievances corruption unemployment poor public service is there

a source of anger across many countries but in iraq things should be different iraq should be thriving the country's oil revenue has exceeded 850000000000 in the post saddam years with production nearly doubling despite the internal strife with iraq estimated to hold almost 10 percent of the globe's proven reserves its prospects should be growing a report by the international energy agency predicts revenue to hit nearly 5 trillion dollars in just over 15 years time and optimistic estimates set back by years of conflict but you get the picture just months ago any joy in sex on a b.p. were fighting for the right to build a pipeline in the country with tens of billions of dollars at stake and yet a reality for most the rockies is bleak last year iraq was ranked 168th out of under an 80 by a corruption index but for people surviving on a day to day basis that's one of the smallest concerns the world food program

reveals more than half of iraqis are at risk of food insecurity with unicef figures last year showing one in 4 children living in poverty so what happened former u.s. defense secretary robert gates stated on a visit to baghdad that a new era was just around the corner more than ever i believe the goal of a secure and stable and democratic iraq is within reach almost 12 years on things couldn't be further from the truth to make sense of post intervention iraq and where exactly the grievances lawyer let's speak to nicholas j. davis author of blood on our hands the american invasion and destruction of. iraq mr davis thanks so much for joining us today good to have you with us now these protests they've been going on since mid october they show no sign of slowing down indeed there's been a government crackdown condemned by many organizations where do these grievances that law i that are spinning out with such violence all over the country the people

of iraq you know still you know have really been ignored and all this they're still suffering from the absolute destruction and economic devastation of iraq by the u.s. invasion and occupation by statistics iraq having 10 percent nearly 10 percent of the world's oil reserves this should be a wealthy state yet we're seeing something quite different here how much of this is about that inequality about the wealth which is not trickling down which is being lost going down the drain to a corrupt system there were large state owned companies that that was the very basis of the iraqi economy and they supported this you know mixed mixed economy beyond that that was all completely destroyed unemployment under the u.s. occupation at one point breached at least 60 percent essential leave the sort of.

you know pyramid of of power in you know occupied and post occupation iraq where you know this tiny group of u.s. and iranian backed exiles has you know with u.s. and iranian support created a monopoly on power that the vast majority of the disenfranchised alienated people of iraq have never supported the u.s. who really has completely discredited itself from start to finish it has done nothing. that has helped the people of iraq at all you know either before or after the invasion. it's $114.00 moscow time we've got much more. clued in this more twists and turns of a trumpet. but the key witness now but tracking on his words and needed released e-mails exposing even more intrigue.

the good news if you like and use the term deep state you are no longer deemed a conspiracy theorist the bad news the deep sea is very real and powerful and dangerous democratic process the deep state as the 4th branch of government as it counts. key witness in president trumps impeachment inquiry has backtracked on his previous statement the us ambassador to the e.u. has now acknowledged telling that financial aid would likely be withheld until ukraine agrees to a certain quid pro quo. also i now do recall a conversation on september 1st 21000 and warsaw with you mr your mac this brief conversation followed a larger meeting involving vice president pants and president selenski in which president selenski had raised the issue of suspension of u.s.

aid to ukraine directly with vice president pence after that large meeting i now recall speaking individually with mr your mac rest said that resumption of u.s. aid would likely not occur until ukraine provided the public anticorruption statement that we have been discussing for many weeks us democrats allege donald trump tried to force ukraine's president to start a corruption investigation into barista holdings that the ukrainian gas company with the son of democratic presidential candidate joe biden held a top position with former cia officer ray mcgovern spoke to us about this you think the democrats made a massive miscalculation here in trying to impeach trump this way it's a big mistake this is all political game here in washington it's a big mistake for the democrats to circumscribe dear dear inquiry each mini ory to the you create a problem what effect is that how well. joe biden is out of the running as far as i'm concerned there's so much dirt on joe biden i just wonder what more dirt

president truck was trying to dig out so as the stage become revealed it's going to be also revealed that the people talking to the democrats here have been in touch with these other people like the whistleblower so-called and they in turn had been working through the deep state brennan and others and so you know things are going to fall apart they should be shown right quick but not on these flimsy charges of quid pro quo. well main some newly released e-mails reveal how the ukrainian gas company used to buy those connections to get out of a corruption probe most of the time his father was u.s. vice president kennedy got more on that today. bristol holdings that's the natural gas firm in ukraine that vice president joe biden's son hunter biden worked for and it's now at the center of a scandal or i guess it isn't mainstream us media insists that any claims of

wrongdoing are simply a conspiracy theory that donald trump made up there is a conspiracy theory that biden conspiracy theory vice president might paint has just repeated his bosses debunked conspiracy abidin conspiracy theory the conspiracy theories continue while documents that have newly been released under the freedom of information act reveal that the u.s. government was already looking into potentially shady activities from the company in 2016 furthermore the documents reveal that verismo holdings even dropped the name of hunter by hoping to win a few brownie points from the obama administration but attorney karen tremont tonneau requested a meeting to discuss with undersecretary novelli the state department's official overseeing international energy u.s. government remarks alleging bruce ma the ukrainian energy company of corruption she noted that 2 high profile u.s. citizens are affiliated with the company including hunter biden as

a board member another board member mentioned his meeting with u.s. secretary of state john kerry and the icing on the cake a month goes by and the prosecutor investigating barista holdings gets fired and we've got the vice president joe biden the father of hunter biden on tape bragging that he made it happen i said you know i get the 1000000000 i'm going to leave in a year i think it was about 6 hours i looked as i'm reading the 6 hours of the prosecutor's not fired you're not getting the money oh son of a. fighter now joe biden insists the only one of the prosecutor gone because he was known to be corrupt and that has nothing to do with his son's employers my insistence. that a prosecutor who is. viewed as corrupt be replaced was the official position of the prison of the united states the united states government supported by republican senators who sent a letter sent

a letter. in 26 calling for the move will show because of corruption although the fired prosecutor claims otherwise biden was acting not like a us vice president but as an individual like the individual interested in having me removed having me gone so that i did not interfere in the barisan investigation now mainstream us media glosses over it and says it's all just a big conspiracy theory well look over these facts for yourself and determine if you really believe everything here is just a ok. r.t. new york. french military forces in mali say they've killed the leader of an islamic extremist group in that west african country comes after militants attacked the which killed 53 soldiers last week mollies president recently want to that the very existence of his country's at risk because of a rise in violence by terror groups from this is going to stress its commitment to

fighting the spread that is a is a mystic stream islam in africa's vast region. nothing will be where is the antipodes attends a stright my lumbering our guard at a time when says dramatic events are happening so we must be able to continue but for that there are conditions there are conditions for success even the 7 years of bloodshed and violence isn't just continuing in mali some say it's worsening in recent weeks attacks have been increasing with islamic states claiming responsibility.

another casualty of the mounting violence is france french troops have been stationed in mali a former colony for years so. this i have from now on will account for 50 percent of our budget for international security and cooperation because this is where the security of the african continent and more generally security of a good part of our planet europe included is being threatened. holds has been leading the charge off to mali was split in 2 in 2012 by islamists who declared surely a law in the north of the country it deployed troops to the region in 2013 but despite initial promise jihad ists have regrouped and they've spread violence has spilled over into neighboring countries but kenya faster and nisha now despite repeated commitments from president mccone to shore up the fragile region he's just

not been able to stabilize the. government and the number of attacks has a doubled since 2016 despite that france is intent on staying in this as the violence spreads across mali the failure of the french and un troops to keep a lid on it is storing other tensions molly in military families have complained that the army is not being given sufficient resources to fight the insurgency said to protest not just to denounce terrorism but also the presence of foreign troops patients for military progress is wearing thin some groups are calling for change tack advocating opening up dialogue with the hardest that something fronts as previously ruled out so to have mollies top officials but with the current impasse

a new solution is needed or the death toll is likely to only. r.t. paris. journalist in africa. believes the french presence in the region could have become counterproductive. comes a time when people say that those that have come from the outside and that people should only europeans and the french specifically so the times when people say they overstayed their welcome there's a time when they've crossed a line and feel that the local support that they once were receiving may be declining i think we're coming close to that point because at some point in time we're coming close to 7 years that they've been and will be so close to 10 years if the law and that's what some point the money government has got to realize that they're not making the relevant gains that they once were and more so. if things become counterproductive over time the settlers always be in a difficult one again we are seeing for the 1st time he's not in many most recent

times where and i asked and al-qaeda us into the working together and we've seen them accept your creating on the same territory mallees clearly one of those so it can be very difficult to dislodge them and it's going to be very difficult for the cells become free of terrorism and treat of jihadists. so far for the newsroom kevin i mean you didn't hear in half an hour keep it they were talking about the dot com a social media i can tell you people of l. crosstalk on air after the break for me the rest of the team right now whatever you do today have a great wednesday. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.
