that story of 3 years i've had to say if you would continue roberts it was unbelievable what we had. everything in the league's video an anchor the major us t.v. network claims the station quashed the explosive interview powerful people convicted paedophile. we've spoken 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 front line in the political battle being waged in washington there's a bill to protect their identities is blocked in the u.s.

senate. mcdonald's fuzz one of its most successful chief executives after he admitted to having a consensual relationship with a colleague i guess debate the subject of inappropriate affairs 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 you know the world we live in this is an arrow right now of matt lauer and me trying to i do know that we are all over. certainty as pows in the country's general election for dick continued. joining us this evening you're watching the weekly. video appears to show that america. a.b.c.

news channel show for the story only describes billionaire jeffrey epstein 3 years ago at work and who 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 alleged crimes have a story of 3 years i've had to say if you would for any roberts 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 pictures everything she's the fighting for 12 years making history how do we convince 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 presume had i was so pissed right now. videos obtained by the transparency group project veritas 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 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 seem to want to protect the people that we're working with jeffrey epstein again amy robach saying that f. epstein 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. a.b.c. news has defended its decision not to broadcast the story stating it didn't meet editorial standards the anchor amy roebuck agreed explaining her comments were made

in a private moment of frustration is a reminder of just how this story developed 66 year old multimillionaire jeffrey epstein was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor back in 2008 he was then registered as a sex offender in july this year he was again arrested and was 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 an apparent suicide. the founder of project very task james o'keefe again says despite a.b.c. saying the allegations were uncorroborated the network doesn't shy away from other high profile claims. 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 bontoc jane you tweeted the alleged name of the whistleblower who triggered the impeachment inquiry as cattail reports on the fates of those who recently dead to speak out in the united states. 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 whistle blower as

a loser author of thing one intelligence officer who is inside info could make or break the impeachment dream the calls to make public the whistleblowers identity are despicable whistleblowers should be protected period period but it'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 media he chose the path of raising his voice and . global 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 hume appraised 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 the 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 are. and city. and we've got to stop them from doing that and just as it took 7 years to restore his reputation it took just a few months to discredit peter van buren raising 24 years of loyal diplomatic service from 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 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 non-mobile 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 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 the. breed of whistle blower who finds himself in the right place at the right time with just the right experts say. this week's story major shakeup in the fast food world with mcdonald's c.e.o. being fired for having a relationship with an employee something strictly against the company's policy become difficult surmounting links between managers and both direct and indirect employees steve easterbrook took over as chief executive of the company in 2015 after working his way up through the ranks he's been widely criticized credited with revitalizing the fast food chains restaurants menu and the message to the stuff he apologized admitted his dismissal was the right decision we got the opinions of legal analyst lionel on t.v. and radio host karen took. 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 alyson that he did it's the way it is i did today's arrow of me to and the like not to mention their 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 at a show 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. commie speech is too busy for that and it's funny how we read into it while it was consensual or 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 words out all over i mean see where i'll over it all over it. over it could read i mean as a woman 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 can 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. dr. what

are you talking about or does it might you might have to you might have to 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 show us had shared his thoughts in an exclusive interview with r t the 1st time he spoke to an international channel in more than a year. did you make of it where. the british government sent the royal navy to intercept in the rain the 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 of syria. this winter. exactly 1st for this is by oversee.

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. the angels of white helmet 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 their interest.

and you can catch the full version of that interview here on r.t.l. monday it was on our website dot com. the polls of close in this country folks can get another general election the 4th in as many years we'll bring you all the details after this break. with the president and a constant dread. of the free money. we would have a day of reckoning and prices would revert back to reflect supply and demand. and there would be a catastrophic trap door opening underneath 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 crypto currency this will kill the u.s. dollar better than adorning. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. clearly dramatic to follow only i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. no closer to finding a solution to months of political deadlock counting is now underway. in

a 2nd general election of this year and the 4th in as many years but no parties predicted to win an overall majority let's go live now to charlotte. something of a sense of deja vu tonight. yes absolutely some 37000000 people were eligible to vote in this election and what we're understanding from some of the pre-election polls that have just been released for the 1st time is that this could be a sense of april all over again what i mean by that is no one party getting enough support to get the majority to form a government and the sense that we're understanding in these are not confirmed results yet but we are understanding from those pre-election polls that petru sanchez who had been spain's caretaker prime minister and had gambled on this 2nd election this year looks like he has lost some seats this is the socialist workers

party and it looks like they're going to be sitting on between around 150 and a 120 seats so well short of that number needed to form a government we're also getting a sense that other parties have done particularly well such as the populist party vokes some suggesting that they may have to doubled their numbers since that election back in april the reality is the political landscape a in spain seems to be as fragmented is one of the hot topics in the last few weeks of course not just actually the last few weeks but the last few years here in catalonia is the question of independence and as you may recall in the last few weeks we've got the sentences handed down to some of the pro independence nevius who've been involved in not referendum for independence in catalonia back in 2017 those leaders being given some jail sentences. move up to 13 years and not actually

sort of you you raised the tensions here in catalonia the last few weeks those tensions have spilled into protests and clashes between independence believers and the police and let's just take a look back now to remind you of some of those tensions that we've seen in the lead up to this election. if. you will those are the clashes that we've seen over the last few weeks but i must say in the sort of day around the election it has been incredibly peaceful here

particularly in boston are people coming out in the streets to get their voices heard again but we haven't seen that sense of tension but we do know that particularly today that they was a heavy police presence across catalonia not just of the most disquiet about which is the local police authority but also of the spanish police in fact we were hearing and reading reports in every place where people were going to vote in catalonia had a police presence today to try and make sure that there were no tensions and no problems with people getting to the polls given that there was a suggestion that some of the pro independence activists might try and block the election polls that didn't happen this season as you mentioned the 4th alexion in 4 years the 2nd this c.n.n. has definitely been a sense of some people that there is voter apathy and that may be due to the fact that we saw today in the polls coming out at 6 o'clock that the numbers of people

who. going to vote in these elections was actually at some point down compared to what it had been earlier this year this is what voters in catalonia have been saying to us. you know we are a bit tired but i hope that they understand that there is no other option but to take us quite a millions into account there's no way out if they think that with the repression they will achieve something we are stronger than ever well i think the parties to reach an agreement so that we don't have to vote again and that the situation in spain and kind of see some progress is repeating everything too much and with very tight i think i'm not the only one this reputation well. the results will be the same as in the past the last vote and anyway hopefully there will be no more elections. so waiting for those 4 election results to come through in the spanish elections but what we are understanding so far is that pedro sanchez the caretaker prime minister of spain took a gamble and it doesn't seem to have quite worked for him with his party looking to

be well short of the majority needed to form a government meaning yet again he all of the parties will have to look together to form a coalition something so far nobody has been able to do since back in 2017 the reality is whatever these results tonight without there being a party that can form an absolute majority spain ringback is unlikely to have a new government until at least 2020. as a correspondent reporting live from barcelona thank you for. the social media platform to talk is reportedly being investigated by the u.s. government over security concerns the video sharing app is chinese own popular among teenagers so one of the few to challenge the monopoly of tech giants such as facebook and google. this is.
