it was unbelievable what we have been everything. i tried for 3 years to get to know they are. video and the major us network claims the station corps sure explosive interview linking powerful people to the convicted paedophile jeffrey. she says there seems to be some type of network of people. you know that that is covering up for this and she says she doesn't. know the stories of the week whistleblowers become the new line in the political battle being waged in washington as a bill to protect their identities is brought in the u.s. senate and hate because the health trust in england plans to root out racism by threatening to withhold freedom for people who. we put the issue of.

the mother was a nurse. for most of the last of the n.h.s. and nothing was done about the abuse that she. faced the n.h.s. she said to treat people but should treat people. without question. well i welcome the latest developments and look back at the news over the last week or so what we hear and r.t. international now a leaked video appears to show that america's a.b.c. news channel shelved a story on disgraced billionaire geoffrey epstein 3 years ago and network and was recorded ranting about the station quashing her explosive interview with an accuser of the convicted paedophile in it a number of powerful figures are implicated in his crimes the following clip is part of the video that was obtained by the transparency group project. that story

for 3 years i've had to say are you with jenny roberts that the palace found out that we have her whole allegations are false andrew and threatened us a 1000000 different ways she told me everything she had pictures everything she was in hiding for 12 years making history about him we convinced her to talk to us it was unbelievable what we had cleared with everything. i had i tried for 3 years to get it on to no avail and now it's all coming out and i think these new well of revelations and i presume had i was so pissed i have to wonder why did they not air these stories why why would that why was the shelled 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 she says there seems to be some type of network of people that you know that that is covering up for this and she says she has a she thought all of it 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 seemed to want to protect the people that were working with jeffrey epstein again amy robach saying that f f t 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. well a.b.c. news has defended its decision not to broadcast story stays and it didn't meet the editorial standards needed at the time the anchor a row back agreed explaining that her comments were made in a private moment of frustration we were reminded then of how the 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 to face trial over the

alleged creation of a sex trafficking network charges he repeatedly denied but a month later epstein was found dead in his cell in the parent suicide the founder of project terror attacks again james o'keefe says that despite a.b.c. saying the allegations were uncooperative the network doesn't shy away from other high profile cases you can see how frustrated any robot 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's. now the u.s. democrats have failed to push through a bill to keep the identity whistleblowers secret comes as the president's son has tweeted the alleged name of the whistleblower who triggered the trump impeachment inquiry saskia taylor now reports on the fate of those who recently dared to speak out in america. for the democrats impeachment must now seem tantalizingly close. all they need is the final piece of damning evidence to seal the deal and to senate minority leader chuck schumer he has come out arguing for the protection of whistleblowers only rather of one intelligence officer whose insider info could make or break the impeachment dream the calls to make public the whistleblowers identity are despicable whistleblowers should be protected period

period that's quite the radical departure from his previous comments on those exposing government abuses and each day that snowden is allowed to room 3 is another twist to the merits snowden is a one of the few picked up by the media he chose the path of raising his voice and going clone ball unlike the hundreds of others who chose the path of least resistance you see they quietly launched official complaints hoping for the system to reform but they were out of luck because as a damning report from an intelligence watchdog shows the cia and n.s.a. wouldn't $189.00 out of $190.00 cases of whistleblower complaints by had to send you the link but the report was shot down i wonder if mr schumer praised even remembers all those whistleblowers who ruled against what the name for example rich

barlow bring about now living in a trailer in remote montana with his hunting dogs back in the late eighty's bhalo worked for the cia now he found himself in a patriotic dye llama when he uncovered what he said amounted to the u.s. helping pakistan become a nuclear power including by selling band technology and though he followed protocol he became the victim of a smear campaign disgraced and discredited barely able to scrape together. for a living i was disgustingly patriotic and i thought the government is allowing pakistan to develop and spread nuclear weapons and i got destroyed for trying to stop it what about former u.s. marine upfront gayle he thought he'd found a way of reducing the number of u.s. troops dying in iraq as a result of improvised explosive devices all that was needed was a simple swap of patrol vehicles and given that i.d.'s were responsible for over 60

percent of all american losses in the country between 20032008 surely the pentagon would have been interested the response was more of. an automated response he's not obeying our instructions he's he's gone off the reservation as we often say. and we've got to stop him from doing that and just as it took gail 7 years to restore his reputation it took just a few months to discredit peter van buren raising 24 years of loyal diplomatic service done pure and found himself on the wrong side of the table when he shed light on state department mismanagement i'm waste in iraq what happens when you're thrown out of the government and blacklisted is that you lose your security clearance and it's very difficult to find a grown up job in washington you have to step down a few levels to find a place where they don't care enough about your background to even look into why

you washed up there the list of nameless faceless and unrecognized whistleblowers goes on and who to blame them for choosing to do to free fall their complaints because if you follow and manning will snowden's footsteps sure you might end up with your name on a plaque card and become the face of the fight for transparency but you might also find yourself behind bars and while you're sitting in prison think about how you. others in arms only have a how to one and 190 chance of success whistleblowing protection should actually exist in all countries because it helps the country to have people tell the truth about corrupt officials united states pretends to have allies that protect whistleblowers but they often either don't work or they are deliberately sordid and certainly the government officials do not want anyone ever telling

about things they do illegally the governments are basically wanting to control saying and control public opinion they put john kiriakou in prison for telling that for instance is that the cia was torturing so they normally absolutely do not want to protect whistleblowers and they actually hate anyone who tells the truth about their illegal activities schumer about him alongside the washington elite needs to clarify his position on whistleblowers if you are a whistleblower you need to accept that harassment prison self-imposed exile just being consigned to the forgotten pages of history are all on the cards unless of course you happen to be that rab breed of whistle blower who finds himself in the right place at the right time with just the right exposé.

it tighter than i will say this week the patients who view staff at a hospital in western england were told they could receive lengthy bans from using the n.h.s. the north bristol health trust has launched a red card to racism campaign which could see treatment for a few used when it's safe to do so with the heart to the end of august the question we are seeing in the moment we really do need to use it to safeguard our staff i'm working with colleagues over the 6 of us in my court to be able to show that face. the campaign aims to cut out a wide range of abuse that hospital staff face aside from racism the residual tolerance to sexism and offensive language malicious allegations and also intentional damage to property patients found to be abusive will encounter sports like disciplinary system a warning or a yellow card will be given on the 1st incident and the 2nd time the patients will get a red card meaning that treatment will be withdrawn once a patient's condition is safe we've got reaction to this story from the national

secretary for the english democrats party stephen morris and also from the human bennett he's from the stand up to racism action group. 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 and h.s. is there to treat people should treat people. without question the issues of sexism racism is a massive can of worms because obviously the hospitals could be in breach of the only quality because obviously a female that he wants to be treated by a female will not be allowed to because it will be deemed a sexist or if you have certain religious views you won't be allowed because it be deemed racist or sexist in some form that 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 on to lock them up is serious actually most of these people will find that one step behavior is deemed unacceptable people realize they can no longer behave like that it's not true that just clogging up the court system we say people should be prosecuted but you don't want to prosecute it because your actual words was it would only clog up the court system somebody who may have a feel philosophical or religious belief about being treated by women are being treated by a certain person then there are philosophical and religious beliefs have to be also respected and if the n.h.s. are not going to respect their views then they're going to fall foul of the courts the n.h.s. was built on immigrant a migrant labor from all over the world she was going many people yes in and my god oh here we go you have no idea it's a bill that said on the trees don't use that because it wasn't built just on that

this is ridiculous if somebody says i don't want to be treated like some of these black or asian there's no reason to respect that at all being a race isn't a philosophical view it's just plain wrong only those peep. believe it should be tolerated actually resists any kind of basic principles. because of the way it is closer to prosecute it you're talking about people under normal circumstances these are not normal circumstances where people go into a in a. in pain they wanted us so these an absolute wide range of circumstances just to say can you come down a bit the can ask you like the situation 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 the court systems i'm not against prosecute them i think it's easier it's easier for health professionals to give people a warning about their behavior and challenge it without necessarily bringing in the police and the courts i think the people who are racist need to be challenge to and that has to be done in such

a way as they can simply understand that their behavior is unacceptable what you need to do is make sure you get them treated get them out reports and then get prosecuted if need be afterwards very simple if you start issuing your card records in the hospitals that's gone that's going to a people more. than the syrian president claims the west attempt to incite a revolution through sanctions has failed sharla sad shared his thoughts new exclusive interview with r.t. it is the 1st time he's spoken to an international channel in more than me. did you make of it when the british government sent the royal navy to intercept in the rain the inverse will. this new government that was with heating oil. for syria . from the european union going to hit the poorest people of syria.

this winter. exactly 1st of all this is bogus. this is piracy by the united kingdom and this is the core meaning of the word regime called regime in both in gangs of youth something similar. they wanted to effect the people in syria why because those people expected to rule with against their government during the different stages or the war but they didn't they were supposed to be supporting the terrorists the moderate rebel with the angels of white helmet but the people didn't this would with their government so they have to suffer they have to pay the price 1st for they have to learn that lesson but you should. with the 2nd this is maybe the last ditch attempt in order to push them to be against big government but they tried it last winter tried it

before and they didn't work because the people knew the whole story and they know where their interests lies. and you can watch the full version of that interview here on r.t. tomorrow as well as on our website at r.t. dot com meanwhile still to come for you here on the weekend this hour a small town in england has had to change its name over the break is and tell you why yourself. what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy let it be an arms race. theory dramatic. only.

will be very critical. to sit. in. the present cost and. the free money. we would have a day of reckoning. prices would revert back to reflect supply and demand. there would be a catastrophic trap door opening under the u.s. economy because the u.s. won't do it for itself china will do it for the in the form of announcing as a surprise $20000.00 tons of gold and the introduction of a gold backed currency just will kill the u.s. dollar better than.

again welcome back to the week today spain is holding its 2nd general election this year and its 4th since 201514 parties are on the ballot paper they do need to get 176 seats to win a parliamentary majority polling stations have already opened you can see people falling in madrid. at 8 pm local time once they are shot of course we'll bring you the updates on the result seems like. the u.s. government is reportedly investigating the social media platform to talk over security the video sharing at these chinese and these very popular among teenagers it's also one of the few to challenge the monopoly of tech giants such as facebook and google. this is. the sound now look at may not.

yet. i'll be honest with you up until last week i had no idea this thing even existed take tock tick tock for me simply the sound i associate with the clock well if you feel the same i'll have to tell you either you're getting old like me or it's just that your online habits need an urgent update take talk a platform to share short videos is now the most downloaded app the king of all apps and instagram twitter and co you've been dethroned just so you know ever heard the song. if it wasn't for his app store majesty the song wouldn't have become a hit you can hear on the radio anywhere in the world but here's something that may

surprise old school folks like me even more the king belongs to an asian dynasty tick tock is that chinese app. so that's why the top democrat senator in his late sixty's is more up to speed than me 110000000 americans who have information with and the chinese government could be grabbing every one of them guess what the u.s. government is already up to reports say they've launched a national security probe into tick talk and the worries are the chinese government could spy through take talk influence through take talk and censor what's on tape talk good god how come the rest of the world hasn't given up american born face book speaking of the man who introduced the blue f to us all it's only natural he is keen to have a go at his competitors or services like what's up are used by protesters and activists everywhere due to strong encryption privacy protections on tick tock the

chinese after quickly around the world mentions of these same protests. censored now just let me show you what the people be hiding tick-tock have to say about all that our data centers are located entirely outside of china and none of our data is subject to chinese law we're not influenced by any foreign government including the chinese government to talk does not operate in china nor do we have any intention of doing so in the future oh someone here is either being really does honest or outright paranoid or a bit of both it's time to stick in the u.s. china trade wars i'll tell you what this year has shown these has still it could easily spill over into modern tech slash online territory remember how america once went after i phone killer want to be while way. want to be still the right word washington even saw jail time for one of while these top executives and held google

to the wall over android updates anyway for now clocks in. quite a few older ones even in america will be picking the chinese take talk way mr schumer do you have the guts to keep up with the times and join the royle after party. so. anybody can our small seaside town in the south of england has been swept up in a storm of control of the cia the suggestions that its longstanding nickname actually smacks of white supremacy something that has left the locals baffled.
