that story 3 years i've had this interview with virginia roberts it was unbelievable what we had we had everything. video an anchor at a major u.s. t.v. network station quashed the explosive interview linking powerful people to convicted people. he spoke to the founder of the investigative group that obtained the footage. 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. you know the stories of the week whistleblowers become the new frontline in the political battle being waged in washington as a bill to protect their identities is. a mcdonald's fires one of its

most successful chief executives ever he admits to having a consensual relationship with a colleague i guess debate the subject of inappropriate in the workplace. you know being a c.e.o. i don't know how much time this guy had on his hands to meet people but do you know the world we live in this is an arrow right now of matt lauer with me tonight i do know that for me. good evening and welcome to the weekly. video appears to show that america's a.b.c. news channel shelved a story on disgraced billionaire. 3 years ago and it was recorded ranting about the station quashing her explosive interview with an accuser of the convicted paedophile and it's a number of powerful figures are implicated in his. i have

a story of 3 years i've had to sit here with virginia roberts then and the palace found out that we had her whole allegations about prince andrew and threatened us a 1000000 different ways she told me everything she did everything she was in hiding for 12 years and convinced her to come out we convinced her to talk to us it was unbelievable what we had claimed we had everything. i tried for 3 years to get on to no avail and now it's all coming out and i think these new well of revelations and i freaking had a lot of it i am just so pissed right now the video was obtained by the transparency group project referred to us its founder james o'keefe shared his thoughts on the footage. i have to wonder why did they not air these stories why why were they 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 seem to want to protect the people that were working with jeffrey epstein again amy robach saying that steam 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. listen uses defended his decision not to broadcast that story stating that didn't meet the editorial standards the and can be robotic a great explaining her comments were made in a private moment of frustration is a reminder of how this story developed 66 year old multimillionaire jeffrey epstein was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor it was back in 2008 he was them registered as a sex offender in july of this year he was arrested again and was set to face trial

over the alleged creation of a sex trafficking network he repeatedly denied those charges but a month later epstein was found dead in his cell in an apparent suicide. founder of project veritas james o'keefe again his says despite a.b.c. saying the allegations were uncorroborated the network doesn't shy away from other high profile climes. 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. democrats in the united states have failed to push through a bill to keep the identity of whistleblowers secret comes as the president's son on trying genius tweeted the alleged name of the whistleblower who triggered the impeachment inquiry ski taylor reports on the fate of those who recently died to speak out in the u.s. . 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 need to chuck schumer he has come out arguing for the protection of whistleblowers all rother of thing one intelligence officer who is 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 to pew says and each day that snowden is allowed to room 3 is another twist to the knife snowden is a one of the few picked up by the need to he chose the path of raising his voice and going to. unlike the hundreds of others who chose the path of least resistance you see they quietly lodged 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. when 189 out of 190 cases of whistleblower complaints by had to send you the link but the report was shot down i wonder if mr schumer praised or 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 di lemma 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 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 a former u.s. marine affronts gayo 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 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 and raising 24 years of an oil diplomatic service from poor 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 that use 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 packet 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 your brothers 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 who's in 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 purchase. and they actually hate anyone who tells the truth about their illegal activities schumer bowden longside 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 the breed of whistle blower who finds himself in the right place at the right time with just the right exposé.

this weeks or a major shake up in the fast food world with mcdonald's c.e.o. being fired for having a relationship with an employee something strictly against company policy because the forbids the romantic links between manages both direct and indirect employees easterbrook took over as chief executive in 2015 to working his way up through the company he's been widely credited with revitalizing the fast food chain restaurants of menu and a message to stop apologized and admitted his dismissal was the right decision we've got opinions from legal analysts lionel and t.v. and radio host karen turk the fact that the best c.e.o. that they've had in a long time is now going to be out of a job because of a personal issue is really sad i mean it's just the state of how we look at things today in america and this was a consensual relationship there was really nothing a licit that he did it's the way it is i did today's arrow of me too and though i nod to imagine there are only history of. problems here and there what are they

going to do it's their law he knew it would he was executive he violated it that's it you know it's hard to meet people these days i'm sure it's hard to be single i'm married by you know as a single person in america you know being a c.e.o. i don't know how much time this guy had on his hands to meet people you know what is golden parachutes going to be today oh my god this poor guy where's the good of me to the bloody. commies east is too busy for that and it's funny how we read into it while it was consensual nobody's saying it was rape nobody's a kludge it was a violent physical attack of course it was consensual but do you know the rule that we live in this is an era right now of matt lauer and me too i do i do know the rules out all over and i mean sooner i'll over it over it. over it could i mean as a one in america you are not in charge of i should judging people i'm tired of us

judging you everybody is going to relationship no i'm not and you know why if i was if i was in charge i think the world might be a better place because we're going to sirt some logic into this minutia that has become so consuming in today's journalism and in today's america perhaps the company could have some sort of agreement where you know we allow consensual relationships with some sort of agreement between the parties before our eyes and you know and gauge in sexual conversation would you please sign this here to it would you signal that yes we are entitled to one people do it every day now it's a world we live in and ship. who drives. what are you talking about or does it might you might how you might how you might have to. protect yourself. the syrian president says that the west's attempt to incite a revolution in his country through sanctions has failed to charlotte the thoughts

in an exclusive interview given to marty is the 1st time that he's spoken to an international channel in more than a year. what did you make of it when. the british government sent the royal navy to intercept in the arena universal. they said the iranian government said it was with heating oil . for syria. this actions from the european union going to the poorest people in syria. this winter. exactly 1st of all this is both. the. united kingdom and this is the core meaning of the word regime because the regime in both of these something similar. yes they wanted to effect the people in syria why because those people expected to.

begin their government during the difference to just all the war but they didn't they were supposed to be supporting the terrorists the moderate rebels the angels of white helmets but people didn't this with their government so they have to suffer they have to pay the price 1st for they have to learn that this. was. sick and this is maybe their last ditch attempt in order to push them to be against big government but they tried to tried it before and they didn't work because the people who knew the whole story and they know where they are into. it's life. and of course the full version of that interview right here on monday as well as by heading to our website but don't call now polls close in spain is the country votes

in yet another general election the full thing just as many years details after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race. and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to.

have to go right to be close with what the 43 of them or can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of the how. things should. be. welcome back let's head to spike now whether voting is just ended in the country's 4th general election in as many years. early exit polls are suggesting the prime minister pederast sanchez has once again failed to secure a majority casting doubt on hopes of ending months of political uncertainty. a live picture from spain that can see the vote just about getting under way this was all triggered by the failure of the prime minister to form

a coalition with the left wing damus party which is predicted to finish in 2nd place however the big winner of the night may well be the far right vox party predicts to become the country's 3rd little force rest in the separatist region of catalonia and chronic unemployment of hope to fuel divisions ahead of this vote he predicted outcome of the election will do little though to bring clarity to the political deadlock. social media platform to talk is reportedly being investigated by the american government over security concerns video sharing app is chinese owned and popular among teenagers it's also one of the few to challenge the monopoly of tech giants like facebook and google. now.

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 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 facebook 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 to talk the chinese up quickly around the world mentions of these same protests. censored now

just let me show you what the people behind 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 us china trade wars i'll tell you what this year has shown these has still ities could easily spill over into modern tech slash online territory remember how america once went after i phone killer one of the wall 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. quite a few older ones even in america will be taking the chinese take talk way mr schumer do you have the guts to keep up with the times and join the royal after party. and finally this hour a baby in colombia has been saved from plunging down a flight of stairs by quick thinking family member although perhaps one you might not be expecting. if you look at this the cast has been

alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. time after time corporations repeat the same mantra sustainability it's very important to accelerate the transition to sustainable prize board sustainability stay in her manner the more equitable and sustainable well. they claim their production is completely hama's. because. it does not the companies want us to feel good about buying their products while the damage is being done far away and this is something all this must be done even as i mean look. this is the move and you mustn't be doing to me man i'm stunned seemed to be understood so when in.

long. there. are. no longer welcome to all the party it's one of the cruelest and the most avoidable and reversible diseases of our times it's the price humans. pay for progress in that bundle and you frankenstein created by the collusion of industry and science obesity or rather diabesity has been making life miserable for millions of people mainly because they follow the advice of their doctors should they will to discuss that i'm now joined by jason fung it canadian you for all a just and

a best selling author dr funk it's so good to talk to you thank you very much for your time oh thanks for having me it's great to be here now for starters i have to say that i am a huge and very grateful fan of yours but for those of our viewers who are not familiar with your work how do they keep me dr like yourself on this subject of obesity or rather diabesity as you like to call it yeah so kidney disease in north america is largely related to type 2 diabetes so we've had a big. mix since the 1970 s. and since the 1980 s. we've had more and more type 2 diabetes so as i started practice i started seeing more and more of these type 2 diabetics who were developing kidney disease and that's why i really developed a very strong interest in the treatment of type 2 diabetes so the standard treatment as most doctors do consists of really just giving medications but that doesn't really make a lot of sense to me because if you think about type 2 diabetes it's actually

a reversible disease that is if people lose weight then very often the type 2 diabetes also goes away and as it goes away you can't develop kidney disease any further so to me that was the most important thing was to try and reverse this type 2 diabetes and part of that involves trying to get people to lose weight and that's how i became interested in this topic now most of your books and lectures a built around the premise that obesity is horror moral dysregulation a fad it's driven by hormones rather than calories and the i'm sure many of the viewers watching us right now strong. we believe that in order to lose weight they have to eat last and actually sizemore why do you think this it vies is so persistent and so pervasive despite being seen effective. it's a good question and it's because it's been greened into all of us since we were young about this this idea of calories in calories out that is all calories are

fattening it's just the number of calories in north america sometimes people say a calorie is a calorie and the point is that really misses. how the human body actually works so the human body works on hormones so if you grow taller or shorter or if you build muscle or don't build muscle everything depends on the hormones our bodies respond to hormones and body fat is the amount of body fat that we carry is really no different so we can isolate the hormones that make us gain weight for example insulin is a hormone that makes us game weight so certain foods are going to stimulate those hormones more than others so the idea is that if you take 2 equal portions in terms of calories of 2 food so you have 100 calories of cookies versus 100 calories of say spinach.
