in our citizens in this microwave radiation it is certainly electro smog and it's getting worse. invoking the russian menace says general election campaign and gets under way in the u.k. boris johnson attempts to smear his main rival jeremy corbyn claiming the labor party started with its over the script power poisonings. a major us network acknowledges it didn't run explosive allegations of sexual abuse by the disgraced financier geoffrey epstein because the story didn't meet its editorial standards. and desperation in iraq has protests and violence gripped the country on a scout unseen since the overthrow of saddam hussein. a

very warm welcome to you you're watching r.t. international with me nicky aaron it's great to have you with us and our top story general election campaigning in the u.k. is called off to a bad tempered start this wednesday with boris johnson launching a series of scathing attacks on the opposition leader the prime minister appealed to the public to vote for his conservative party rather than jeremy corbin's labor which he claimed has failed to take a tough enough line on russia. to come with us government believes britain should stand in the world with your or we could be in the labor party who sided with putin when russia did kill usually the streets. prime minister there in the grab that you use referring to the script poisoning case back in march 28th seed of course russia did get the blame for this consistently denied all the allegations ever since because the prime minister there brain. going up this scandal to basically

discredit jeremy corbyn as part of the campaign going forward and it wasn't the only anti russian the negative russian reference that's been used so far in the campaign the prime minister has also compared jeremy corbyn with stalin saying that he's attacking the wealth of the landowning classes while in response the labor m.p. emily song has self has raised questions over boris johnson's top advisor dominic cummings who spent 3 years in russia after he graduated in the 1990 s. and the prime minister is also being accused of a cover up as number 10 is failing refusing to publish a report by the security and intelligence services about russian insult in british politics and then i saw him break asked why so we are bound to ask what is downing street so worried about why would they not welcome an official report into attempted russian interference in the 26000 referendum where the successful otherwise and i fear it is because they realize that this report will lead to other

questions about the links between russia and brics it and with the current leadership of the tory party which risks the rating their election campaign however mr crispin share responded by saying there's nothing unusual in delaying the publication of the report ahead of the election as it needed to be examined and there was no proof of collusion it drove the rich for her to suggest that somehow the conservative party and this government is linked to russia and this information given the way that her own party leadership has acted on the responsibility of leadership. there is no evidence to suggest. the kremlin has successfully engaged in interference in our electoral processes so with 5 weeks to go until the election the mudslinging has already started with all the parties trying to compromise each other but perhaps the best way to compromise you is to mention or perhaps indicate any allegations or. any links whatever to do with

russians talk radio host and column a strong gone told is that cheap political point scoring is deflecting attention from crucial domestic challenges. when we take you to the loo to get it wasn't just about the playground of all of their houses or both of their houses this is exactly the kind you. people off saddled with it's just complete. nonsense i think the british a letter of fed up of this. garbage let's talk about policy is let's talk about what you're going to do to the country and lairs our democratic right and how about this for a change when we do vote for whoever we vote for and whoever wins one a year in parliament actually implement the what we the people tell you to do. like you should have done over the e.u. referendum result 3 years ago we have you all are optional parliament and i'm not

even sure after this election where there will be any less rot a serious letter there debated let's not have books bats and all he said she said and did you know these quotes and to reach a decision 2015 it's all stupid let's get the politics artie's in case you missed it has also been exploring the attempts by british politicians to discredit one another by highlighting that opponents is dubious ties to russia you can find the full version on his a snippet. britain's labor party has expressed concerns that this man dominic cummings the prime minister boris johnson's most senior aide has be. with britain great by election fever it's a bad time to have your name in the same sentence as russia and a good way to smear your opponent.

coming very blog says that he spent 94 to 97 being trained up to undermine the west at some indistinct point decades into the future just kidding actually the floor just says there i worked in russia 994 to 7 on various projects. and last but not least prime minister boris johnson how could he possibly be a russian agent you are one he's called. buddies true he's said to be a founder of the russian rubles and the most incriminating parts of all 3 he won shook hands with yours truly true story and that's all it takes to. leaked video appears to cause doubt on the impartiality of america's a.b.c.

news channel and its a network counterclaims the station cost her explosive interview with an accused of disgraced tycoon geoffrey epstein back in 2050 who allegedly did tell the convicted paedophiles predatory behavior the following is part of the video obtained by transparency group project for us. we have everything. i tried for 3 years to get on to no avail and now it's all coming out and think well of revelations that i originally had i was so right now that every day i get more and more 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 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 f. 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. a reminder of how this story developed 66 year old multi-millionaire jeffrey epstein was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008 and was then registered as a sex offender in july this year he was arrested again then was about to face trial over the alleged creation of a sex trafficking network charges he repeatedly denied a month later epstein was found dead in his cell in an apparent suicide artie's taylor brings a small. live t.v. one or 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 for writing material which had direct testimony from one of the victim's photos as well as other evidence of his to be dealings which implicated high profile figures like bill clinton prince andrew she told me everything she sure is chilling everything she was fighting for 12 years to 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 no one knew who was funny because just a few years before they'd been happily sipping champagne at his manhattan townhouse you see back in 20 media 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 was were both a.b.c. and c.b.s. phosphor 2015 managed to entice virginia roberts 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 and one of the big apple's most luxurious hotels what they got was this group of life time to phrase through wind open the door on the marquee world of epstein and his entourage as they threw around the walls on his private jet dubbed the elite express palace found out that we have heard all allegations are false and true 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 for a minute bill network like a.b.c. had backed down and given in and while this exposition was obsessing more salacious than other reports on that side it wasn't the 1st 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 the 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 group box were put back in the troll at the time not all our reporting met our 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 pod cast that will air in the new year you'd be forgiven if that rings a bell because. apc's response is uncannily similar to n.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 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 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 power and do i think he was killed 100 percent yes and maybe a.b.c. was right no one knew who was or maybe 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 epstein's lawyer contacted the a.b.c. network at the time saying the allegations being made by the accuser interviewed by the channel could not be trusted well the anchor has backtracked slightly since the video was leaked amy roebuck explained that her comments were made in a private moment of frustration found project veritas again james o'keefe so is

a.b.c. doesn't shy away from 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 they were hanging out with jeffrey epstein per amy amy roebuck. iraqi authorities are holding talks on constitutional amendments and made ongoing violence in the country around $260.00 people are believed to have been killed the

essence onto government demonstrations started a month ago protesters are demanding a made to overhaul of the political system which was the stop list after the u.s. led invasion back in 2003 r.t.s. daniel hawkins has been delving deeper. 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 'd. 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 with 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 b.p. we're fighting for the right to build a pipeline in the country with tens of billions. dollars at stake and yet reality for most of the rockies is bleak last year iraq was ranked 168-1858 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 is 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 i 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 a cause. 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 reached at least 60 percent essential leave the sort of. you know pyramid of of power in you know occupied in 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 and 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 number of hospitals in the u.k. have introduced a new red card to racism campaign against discrimination inspired by a similar one in sports after a rise in medical start being abused by patients in northwestern. but the point to avoid is the question we are seeing in the moment we really do need to use it to save god or stop i'm working for colleagues 60 of us and i got to be able to show this. the campaign aims to cut out a wide range of abuse that hospital staff could face aside from racism the national health service will apply as 0 tolerance policy to sexism and offensive language also inappropriate behavior malicious allegations and intentional damage to

property patients found to be abusive will face a sports like disciplinary system a warning or a yellow card will be given on the 1st incident a 2nd time and patients will be given a red card this means treatment will be withdrawn once a patient's condition is safe when i joined live by a wave in bennett said the governor of stand up to racism and stephen moore is the national secretary for the english democrats welcome both to the program 1st to you stephen now this campaign is effectively a rebranding in the face of increased violence and discrimination do you think it will help to protect medical staff. no i don't think it will because one of the things that will help protect is if the reporter and the people were prosecuted for actually violent conduct one of the things is the n.h.s. is there to treat people it should treat people. without question now the issue is how many are being prosecuted afterwards mentions nobody's been caught prosecuted

so to me this is not going to address any form of issue the issues of sexism racism it opens a massive can of worms because obviously the hospitals could be in breach of the only quality up because obviously a female that he wants to be treated by a female will not be allowed to because it will be. or if you have certain religious views you won't be allowed because it be deemed racist or sexist in some form so know what was going to happen is going to cause a massive problem not addressed. the issue the issue is the only way you can address this is the people go into these hospitals heightened tension in a way because they need treatment they're not well so what you need to do afterwards prosecute them. on the microscope prosecute and then you publish these articles none of them have been published on the prosecution's a yellow card so what red card so war prosecute them that makes

a difference and when what do you think it is going to ward off bad behavior in hospitals of course is going to ward off bad behavior of self control racism sexism and homophobia are not natural and actually my mother was a nurse for for most of her life for the n.h.s. and nothing was done about the abuse that she see faced and there's no reason why she should have put up with the abuse of the nursing people in very serious conditions i think a message to tolerance towards it would lead to a level of self control as is not true that just clogging up the court system with various amounts of people and trying to lock them up is serious actually most of these people will find that once their behaviors deemed sceptical people realise they can no longer behave like that because a policy that people get used to is a bit like that people been told after with seat belts and stuff like that now if you're racist you will have a problem with this because you think it's a normal discourse of normal wear behavior some framed in some ridiculous notion

that you've got a freedom to insult and abuse people but you finally only get it out of their losin 3 legged n.h.s. the n.h.s. was built on immigrant a migrant labor from all over the world where the actual tree was good many people yes in and my god oh here we go you have no idea as a bill that is that on the please don't use that because it wasn't built just on the ok i didn't say i was just really all i said it was congress i said yes it was you might want to do indian oil as contribute by the n.h.s. and don't try to limit what people can say about the national service you might want to turn into a culture limited where people can abuse people i can say i don't personally like that well the bigger your is that you've suggested some spurious that you don't. solution because it's. been you following this for 5 years who wants to see you me and this is me i've actually unison with g.m.b. have systematically tackled this and i've come up with

a system of engaging with patients on simple ways of trying to get to the nobel baby i got the idea because the whole that's what your knowledge of the yellow cards and red car was what was it wouldn't be in our imagination you've got a superficial you've got a superficial opinion of trying to actually tackle its root causes racism is unnatural it can be challenging reversed only those people who believe it should be tolerated actually resist any kind of basic principles. prosecuted but you know what it's about. because it would only call it the court system it's not because you actually feel it i want particularly so you want to stop racism. innocent until you change people's behavior and now we know emotion is the hospitals can be very emotional places that we all have the right to not face discrimination or intimidation or wet place once the people caring for our health and extreme cases of our lives be any different. well the

issue here is what or the categories they put in place. may have a feel philosophical or religious belief about being treated by women are being treated by a certain person then their philosophical and religious beliefs have to be also respected and if they. live in the only respect this is ridiculous and somebody says i'm not going to. cut or asian there's no reason to respect that told me i don't care if somebody put me right but. i do care you know mary was no that's not it's not up to them they've got no right to do that is the n.h.s. service regardless of creativity right there because they all know equality that they have a close of calling religious beliefs have to be respectful of philosophical guy just it is a matter of being a racist not a racist or philosophical view now it's just plain wrong. oh wait a minute if you are doing parties like you the european court of human rights as actually stated that the entitled are the police dogs only look i'm going to appeal

to you do it slowly to you want to go off out there are entitled i don't type introduce you to facts if you're not allowed to do what you're doing i love you on to all the people and what i'm saying and i'll go back to the very beginning you want to use a little coward to tell people off i say let's go and prosecuted you didn't want to do that because you said it blocked up the court systems so who's wants to start where i do don't i said i think that people who are a racist need to be challenge to and it has to be done in such a way as they can simply understand that their behavior is unacceptable the way back to criminal behavior in charge why would you agree to prosecute if there are tons. of i think it's easier it's easier for health professionals to give people a warning about their behavior and challenge it without an inspirational ringing in the way many lotions one very high in hospitals as we said you can see the best of the worst of people in these places it is there any chance you think that having this system in place with the yellow cards in the red cause might think cause more

friction between hospital staff and patients but i think to be honest one of the problems is to engage in a professional way which most nurses and doctors and professionals doing is to be able to say to their patients we want to treat you but we have to make you very clear to you this boundaries on how you can behave in a workforce both multi racial multi-faith what you told us about some people with young people who is already on the u.s. on distressful situations where you may not be active who are then being given certain drugs if you're talking about people under normal circumstance these are not normal circumstances where people go into a in a. pain they wanted us so an absolute wide range of circumstances just to say can you down a bit the can ask you like the situation. i don't i don't what you need to do is make sure you. get them out reports and then get prosecuted if need be afterwards because if i don't i don't like guns or resistance in the hospital itself. i was

your little or don't want to know what's a good one cannot just say one of the problems is that the health professionals themselves dealing with people's lives in their hand it's very hard when you're being abused by people to do your job professionally and what they're trying to do is to say i'm trying to do my job professionally i'm just giving you a warning about why you shouldn't do that and most people it's a caring service what i don't think is acceptable is for people to go into hospital and feel that they have got carte blanche to do whatever they like and so to say to people if you've got a multi-racial multi-faith don't abuse people is a humane way of behaving it's 50 years too late in my opinion so it's been q 3 thought maybe you'd use your child into just not tackling the problem strong enough here it is it's a stressful situation get them treated get them out we call prosecute a very simple issue when i was in the articles that's gone that's going to

a group of 8 people more and again i understand that it will be some of them are never understand something i was a teacher for many years it's not possible to prosecute all the pupils if they came up with racist views one of the best things to do was to come up with a system where you could try and challenge those who don't talk about the details because they are you say who insists on certain knowledge or trying to talk about when you know public service and your professional dealing with people inside the public so you had probably haven't done that so no i'm saying that you know we got to be confrontational it was usually no idea if your black avoid your black only face raise your hands are not like you know are you for a lively and finally to paris later i don't want to grab that startles of racism and stephen moore is the national secretary for the english democrats thank you both for your time. after breaking news just in now and that's police say they're investigating a quote suspicious situation on board an aircraft and sedans ship on apple its report suggests.
