thinking well of revelations that i had i was so pissed right now that every day i get more and more pissed because i'm just like. it was what we had it was unreal now this came to us from an insider within the network an insider who currently works at a.b.c. news leaked us 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 epstein again amy roebuck saying that epstein was blackmailing people there's a lot of powerful people on those airplanes that amy is 100 percent certain that 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. at just some background here the 66 year old multi millionaire rich or

free epstein was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008 and was 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 he had repeatedly denied those charges a month later epstein was found dead in his cell in an apparent suicide or taylor brings us more. live t.v. one o one check your mike then check it again project for our task has published a fast footage of an a.p.c. i recorded in late august shortly after the disgraced billionaire was found dead in his new york jail cell anyway boxset over 3 years ago she had exclusive material relating to epstein's paedophile ring material which had direct testimony from one of the victim's photo. as well as other evidence of his 2 u.b.s. dealings which implicated high profile figures like bill clinton prince andrew she

told me everything she had pictures everything she was fighting for 12 years making history come out we can 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 up stuff as no one knew who was funny that because just a few years before they've been happily sipping champagne at his manhattan townhouse you see back in 20 media heavy weights gathered out to dinner and on all 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. on cuz phosphor 2015 managed to entice virginia robots to fray 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 in the muck to world of apps tide and his entourage as they threw around the walls on his private jet dubbed the elite express powers found out that we have whole allegations of our prince andrew and threatened us a 1000000 different ways i viewed the 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 affirmative bull network like a.b.c. had backed down and given all the. those who are going to cry conspiracy one of that even came forward and confirmed he put pressure on the network to kill the

story by simply provided a.b.c. with incontrovertibly evidence proving the giuffre 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 exposition was obsessing more salacious than mother 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 revelations just like roebuck's 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 point podcast that will air in the new year you'd be forgiven if that rings a bell because a.b.c.'s response is uncannily similar to n.b.c.'s comment about its coverage or block of of media mogul harvey weinstein the end 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 epstein 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 safe stories on things like the origins of his wealth and was starting a castle 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 into i think he was killed 100 percent yes and maybe a.b.c. was right no one knew who abstain was or maybe it didn't want to get on the wrong side of some very powerful people people who with you believe the rumors might just now have blood on their hands will be encouraged any rulebook house explained herself saying the comments were made in a private moment of history of the finder a project for attorneys james o'keefe again say to a.b.c. sell them poles it's punches when it comes to other high profile cases. 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 that were hanging out with jeffrey epstein per amy amy roebuck. iraq's government is holding talks on constitutional amendments amid ongoing violence in the country over $250.00 people have been killed or since on t. government demonstrations started one month ago protesters are demanding a major overhaul of the political system which was established after the u.s.

led invasion back in 2003 r.t.s. dunya hawkins has the story. iraq is no stranger to turmoil the country's seen little piece and even less the billet since the us 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. i. found. 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 that's 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 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 the rock 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 b.p.

we're fighting for the right to build a pipeline in the country with tens of billy. of dollars at stake and yet reality for most of the rockies is bleak last year iraq was ranked 168-5858 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 of 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 that 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. to me 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 power and you know occupy 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. a key witness in president trump's impeachment inquiry has backtracked on his previous statement the u.s. ambassador to the european union now i remember saying the financial aid would likely be withheld from ukraine until it agreed to a certain quid pro quo that adds weight to claims by a whistleblower who called out mr trump for allegedly trying to force his ukrainian counterpart to find dirt on democratic presidential candidate joe biden. also i now do recall a conversation on september 1st $29000.00 and warsaw with you mr year mack this brief conversation followed a larger meeting involving vice president pence and president lenski 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 alleged double trump tried to force ukraine's president to start a corruption investigation into holding ukrainian gas company where the all democratic presidential candidate joe biden held a top position but former cia officer ray mcgovern thinks the democrats have made a most of miscalculation in trying to impeach mr trump in such a way. it's a big mistake this is all political game here in washington it's a big mistake for the democrats to circumscribe their their inquiry each mini tory to the you create a problem what it's like to stand out 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 whistleblowers so-called and they internet and working for the deep state brennan and others and so you know the thing's going to fall apart they should be shrunk right quick but not on these flimsy charges of quid pro quo. well one additional aspect to the story newly released e-mails reveal how the ukrainian gas company used hunter biden's connections to get off of a corruption probe launched at the time his father wants u.s. vice president here's our washington correspondent. 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 bristol 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 bristol 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 be leaving here i think it was about 6 hours i looked as i'm reading in 6 hours that the prosecutor is not fired you're not getting the money well son of a. fired 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 employer's 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 2016 calling for the move because of corruption although the fired prosecutor claims otherwise biden was acting not like a u.s. 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 have killed the leader of an islamic extremist group in the west african country that comes after a militant attack left 53 soldiers dead there last week malise president recently warned that the very existence of his country is at risk because of

a rise in violence by terrorist groups from so stressed its commitment to fighting the spread of islamist extremism in africa he'll reach it. in the should it be nothing would be boston to prove the terrorists right by lowering our guard at a time when such dramatic events are happening so we must be able to continue but for that our conditions are conditions for success what 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 state claiming responsibility. for.

another casualty of the mounting violence is fronts 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. royalty has been leading the charge of the mali was split in 2 in 2012 by islamists who declared surely a law in the north of the country they deployed troops to the region in 2013 but despite initial promise to hold this 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 mali and government and the. 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 of tack advocating opening up dialogue with the hardest that something front has previously ruled out to have mollies top officials but with the current impasse

a new solution is needed or the death toll is likely to. be arty paris. journalist africa expert johnson believes french presence in the region could be counterproductive. there comes a time when people say that they are 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 might 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 there and will be so close to 10 years if not law ringback 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 been

a difficult one again we are seeing for the 1st time if not in many most recent times where i asked and. into the working together and we've seen them act if your operating on the same territory mallees clearly one of those trees 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 3 of jihadist more programs get their start in moments here on our team international stay close. i'm going to fulfill the repeated promises apologise to the people and promise to be you know we've all pots to. be a. pretty.

pretty rare burka now you want to work. no. fault 5 be cut. one else seems wrong why don't we all just don't call. me lol yet to say power these days comes after. and in detroit equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. time after time called for ration to repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important it's accelerate the transition to sustainable prize board sustainability sustainable manner a more equitable and sustainable world. they claim their production is completely harmless followed this need to clean up. off the beach it's a complex number articles and got it into something companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something elvis that's the point any minute i made much skip loses the mood stimulus to me doing the nieminen einstein theme that may be best a bad one disconnect with who is going in.

on may 3rd of 2003 the ambassador of switzerland to turkey on delivers a letter from iran to the united states. in that letter the iranians essentially offer negotiations to open up the nuclear program for full transparency. the proposal came in i happened to see it's because it was also given to a member of congress that i worked for at the time. he sent it over to the white house and called rove. call rove called back he said that he found the proposal intriguing he wanted to know if it was genuine were a promise to put it in front of the president i would call karl rove a dear friend. i've seen a man of far sighted courage put america on a war footing. and protect us against

a brutal enemy in a dangerous conflict that will shape this new century and no formal response was given to the iranians at all i'm grateful to have been witness to history. and the argument was that whatever could come out of a negotiation with the iranians. even more could be achieved by simply removing the regime in iraq. in a way to sum up the arguments however the principle in the bush administration said that we simply do not talk to evil. and as tony zinni said former central command commander if you like the rock you'll love iraq. that is a 10 to 14 year 3 to $4.00 trillion dollar invasion at the end of which the world western asia will look not much different than it does right now it'll still be in turmoil and still be in chaos and 70 plus 1000000 iranians will hate

our living guts. i was in the pentagon and i wanted to see undersecretary difference the idea is that wolfowitz shared with me he and secretary cheney in 9192. retool and carve out and went to the white house briefed people like president america needs a new strategy or force a regime change. so here's an idea springs back up again in 2001. i went through the pentagon in november of 2001 and one of the general said sure i got this memo on yes. we're going to go after 7 countries in 5 years. i said is that a classified memo he said to her start with iraq and then we're going to move to syria lebanon libya somalia sudan and iran.
