there was labeled a democratic transition. where one of them are because newspapers comes out swinging against the president and his party saying it's the republicans because russian propaganda. is the u.s. presidential race bosses at the news network say there won't be any inquisitive coverage of his or any other. pressure from. the central moscow choose the 26th of november it's kevin owen here with this half hour update you can stay with me 1st starting in hong kong again protests to one place where the chinese territories embattled leaders acknowledge the weekend's election route where antigovernment counted it secured a landslide kerry says it may have reflected on happiness with the government. gulf

coast people who felt that our government has not handled competently the the legislative exercise and its aftermath and we have started a public dialogue with the community but unfortunately with the unstable environment and a chaotic situation i cannot do more of that sort of engagement i hope that the the environmentalists will allow me to do it now following said this record turnout opposition candidates swept up 90 percent of district council seats the win is largely symbolic because councils deal mostly with local issues got little political leverage but what they do of is some say in choosing hong kong's leader meantime or for a brief election lol the protests have resumed at home kong people are urged to police to go easy on the dozens of protesters who've been barricaded in the polytechnic university campus for 9 days following pitch battles at times with officers vote comes 6 months into the violent protests campaign which supporters in

the u.s. congress describe as a response to authoritarian pressure. rising resentment hong kong is not simply a result of ill fated exit of the all faded extradition wall championed by chief executive curie lam but the continued encroachments on freedom and liberty use by president xi jinping and the chinese communist party meantime the us has been telling what it sees as a democratic transition though over of bolivia even though the self-appointed right wing governments being accused of abuses against protesters says cattail annex this morning explains washington's approach them to both phone call. sticks stones on the road can bones amidst the increasing violence hong kong took the weekend off to head to the polls and the results were overwhelming a landslide victory for those who have made it their mission to wrest themselves

from beijing's grip a victory apparently not just for the city but for the whole walled those despots in china have finally been put in their place communist china should take a close look and reconsider their current posture or ptolemy in human rights belong to hong kong the monumental defeat of bric communist china lawmakers sends a powerful message to beijing keep your 3rd terran regime on the mainland so they say beijing needs to keep it all for terry and tendencies out of hong kong others the same tendencies that saw an armed policeman industriously tidying up rubbish after another night of flames and fury all the ones that saw almost $3000000.00 people free me cost the votes and what was a rack or turnout of over 71 percent or maybe those that led both the chinese and hong kong authorities to gracefully accept defeat the government will listen to the opinions of members of the public come billy and seriously reflect. on of our

mission notion no matter what happens hong kong is a part of china. which leaves previous accusations of beijing's disregard for its people's freedom the chinese government should respect their right to speak out somewhat no unfortunate but when you've got a beer in your bonnet about a rising power that set to eclipse you both economically and technologically perhaps it doesn't really matter but what is happening in hong kong is the. worst critic will the united states to smear. china and the reason is that china is sick. extremely successful company from the band little corporate world whatever each other those are diverse you could be new intimidate a child of beat or the economic throne to swoon seen or heard the sanctions of the great war or they don't live to south china sea or hong kong the

situation over 19000 kilometers away bolivia has been restless too and there's also been some significant shuffling of power. was. offering himself up as political sacrifice in a bid to calm the protests the democratically elected president evo morales stepped down and fled past rising from obscurity to fill the void came to me and i knew as a 52 year old lawyer and senator whose name didn't really rang any bells even in bolivia why would it they didn't vote for her in fact no one voted for her she came

to power because the story people who constitution have the right to take the reins that is the president the vice president and the head of the senate one forced to move on out and what many are describing as a coup but apparently to some that's just mere detail we call on all bolivians to support the bolivian transitional government as a god's the democratic transition through electoral reforms and to new free and fair elections as soon as possible and as the west praises bolivia for throwing off its socialist chuckles and turning its face towards the democratic sun let's see how that liberty. it's shaping up. for the for. the. on the record it was one of the atlantic around for the man.

there. was the. it seems that when the shoe fits all thora tarion as a man to mock crissy can actually be used interchangeably and there is a dog with a principal asian between bolivia and hong kong we don't see in hong kong mainly the rioters are attacking police during the public property and they're being supported by the worst in bolivia and they're dying fine think of dying for democracy they are being smeared the situation is big on the record and actually. the room so cold in their government. is hailed as a government which is trying to reach peaceful solution between the well between

the 2 sides. coming up tonight has passed her notice to see if a clock watching next for your major american newspaper said it's time that the republicans were called out as washington propagandists all traces back to ukraine . take us through it because palmer guarantee of next this morning then. we're going to go in a journey you and i a trip into another dimension a magical place written a new rated by the washington post where there are assuming the russian agents in the united states they will soon outnumber americans themselves president trump has been disloyal to the united states not only and given russia a leg up in its war against ukraine but also in broadcasting his propaganda and for that republicans are just as guilty like to point out that it was the democrats who banned the sale of lethal weapons to ukraine and republicans who gave ukraine

hundreds of millions of dollars in those weapons but what's the point there's no piercing this bubble of unreality an anomaly in the space time continuum of common sense that the washington post exists in it is up to mainstream media to directly challenge republicans who yes engage in an american activity the ingenue britney system in a russian propaganda operation in this wondrous realm that jennifer rubin has brought to life everyone who disagrees with her is a traitor a traitor as anyone who mentions that democrats accepted foreign meddling in the election willfully eagerly accepted foreign help to try to get clinton elected the democrats cooperated and ukrainian election meddling official show the surprising lack of interest and indications of ukrainian election meddling that deeply concerned the president whose pleasure they serve during the election

ukraine released davening information about trump's then campaign head paul manifold causing huge damage to the tycoon in fact we have would you sit nick a ukrainian official using his powers of office then bragging about quote help. hillary. little more i didn't help him trump i helped hillary it would be better for. a fact that ukraine's courts ruled to be interference election meddling ukraine's own courts said that but in jennifer's magical kingdom this isn't true she crossed out the old you his admission the court ruling and cited reports that it's all a russian psyop and because she crossed it out it's no longer true just because you try proving her wrong if congressional republicans halogens our intelligence

community is wrong they need to present it otherwise they need to be called out for deliberately assist in a hostile foreign power evidence is something that supports jennifer's point of view if it doesn't it isn't evidence see when special counsel robert mueller root in his report that russian hackers seemingly and apparently quoted from the report hacked hillary's servers that's evidence but when you give her or her car in the recording a confession and a court ruling you're an american in the course of this investigation i would ask you please not from a politically driven false or. russian interests so if newton is good enough for you let me do him some justice it appears the jennifer rubin is a 2 faced hypocrite allegedly she may also be a foreign agent it's she that she and her have done and are doing

more damage to america as a nation than anyone else after all and correct me if i'm wrong but isn't rabidly undermining the us government spreading fear and hate on an industrial scale to every american home smearing half your country is traitors isn't that about as un-american as you can be. if you're a guest of reporting next america multi-billionaire and former new york mayor michael bloomberg sophistry thrown his name into the hat for the 2020 presidential race and he's been setting up his picture why he wants to defeat donald trump. if president trump wins another term in office we may never recover from the damage that he can do we must win this election but there's a small snag for part of the bloomberg empire that's the news outlet the bears his name that was put into something of an editorial quandary so you say over it so the swift move to big news announced that it won't be doing any investigative reporting

on its own already other u.s. democratic hopeful leading critics to accuse the election bias is killing. running for president of the united states certainly invites scrutiny the media digs into the personal lives and history of the major candidates but one of the major candidates for president of the united states also owns a major media network well michael bloomberg a presidential candidate and a media tycoon seems to have found a solution bloomberg media owned by the 2020 presidential candidate will not be investigating the life of michael bloomberg or any other 2020 democratic hopeful we will continue our tradition of not investigates mike and his family and foundation and we will extend the same policy to his rivals in the democratic primaries we cannot treat mike's democrats competitors differently from him now this of course means no discussion of the many controversies surrounding michael bloomberg when he was mayor of new york city no discussion of his stop and frisk policy of searching

people on the street for weapons without proper cause no discussion of his surveillance of the muslim community no discussion of his ban on large soda drinks or his controversial subway ad shaming teen mothers and sure why would bloomberg pay somebody to write bad things about him now this is all supposed to be fair news won't be saying anything bad about the boss at the top but they also won't say anything bad about any of his potential rivals well except for one for tension rival that would be donald trump for the moment the team will continue to investigate the trumpet ministration as the government of the day many voices. say that simply violates the principles of honest journalism there is something to be said about not covering yourself i don't have a problem with the us in general there are many other outlets but it seems like a problematic idea if you're running for president of the united states how do you refuse to around this i can't editorial board members joining the bosses campaign

a pledge not to investigation a parallel pledge to not investigate any other democrats is that news gathering or a campaign contribution what's the incoming value of this wowsers bloomberg news will not be investigating bloomberg or any democrat in the primary and senior members of the editorial board are joining his complain now what's interesting is that there are some key similarities between bloomberg and trump. both are quite wealthy both are media personalities with ties to me york and both entered politics after getting rich elsewhere and both of them have a knack for blurring the political divide. donald trump has switched his political affiliation 7 times since 1087 michael bloomberg was 1st a democrat then he ran and became mayor of new york city as a republican and now he's back to being a democrat once again he says both trump and bloomberg speak of using their own

resources to fund their campaign and also an apparent love of power and this i think gets to the rock of the american political system where you have oligarchy. such as bloomberg or trump or candidates like hillary clinton in 2016 who are centrally funded by all the darks dominating the political landscape and that kind of fusion between political power and media information is extremely corrosive the idea that they won't investigate bloomberg doesn't mean they won't cover bloomberg it means they will cover bloomberg uncritically and essentially they will act as a propagandist for bloomberg the the announcement that we won't investigate. essential means we won't ask any questions but it won't stop them from presenting the narrative as disseminated by the candidate whether it's democratic or

republican and i it's the role of journalists to expose the mendacity of those in power and everyone in power spins information to their own advantage exactly if you think it's what you know it's international this is coming up dozens of don't saying now julian assange is could die in prison without medical treatment of some of the dope an appeal to the british government we hear from one of said concerned medics. in a world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that midstream media refuses to tell more than ever

we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. look at your dollar bill that says the federal reserve no no if you look that up it best to p.b.s. it'll tell you it's debt debt is a no right they're not creating this has nothing to do with money it's created is formaldehyde it's monetary formaldehyde and they're trying to and they're complaining that the corpse isn't great and they just are failing to acknowledge that the global economy died in 2008 stopped.

by good morning so as mentioned before the break the health of wiki leaks founder julian assange has been put in severe risk during his 50 week sentence in a british prison in fact 60 doctors are saying that they say the whistleblower could die in an open letter that they've written to the home secretary outlining their concerns mr assange requires a medical assessment of both his physical and psychological states of health where search engine assessments and treatment not to take place we have real concerns on the evidence currently available that mr assad could die in prison the medical situation is that by urgent there is no time to lose. he seems to really literally compromise lives would be consistent make you question. very difficult think straight it's very difficult to remember things very difficult. if interested so. well as his health is less likely than we will have in.

our legal team who said quite clearly that they think he's been severely damaged by this process in that they asked for an extended time too so they could help the poor the case in their menu strangely judge in his case said that in fact he didn't understand what was going on these lawyers could explain it to nigel i'm sorry in terms of the trial people need to be able to understand what's going on what's important to remember is that the present we think it they'll march doesn't hit adequate facilities to look up to someone in this condition doesn't have access to proper testing it doesn't have access but with specialists and he needs to be urgently transferred to lead of those the hospital to get good medical care that he's provided for other british citizens. as one of the secretaries dr margaret previous from melbourne with me earlier on so doctors from numerous countries including the u.s. australia has just heard and it's only made their assessments based on eyewitness accounts they said following his october court appearance it was reported that

a son's couldn't recall is dead a birth for instance at the hearing and when asked whether or not he could understand what was happening the strain replied that he could not think straight and we killings cofounders also complained about the conditions of his imprisonment on multiple occasions a charge is currently being held in at london's belmarsh prison where he's serving a 50 week sentence for breaching his bail conditions and 2012 separately is also fighting a us extradition request of a wiki leaks publishing classified information on american political and military dealings. story years for know from yesterday now delegates at the chemical weapons watchdog conference of wasted no time squaring up to each other on day one in their hague the russian representative questioned the group's report into an alleged attack in duma in syria and called for the reform of the special mission in syria we cannot take these special missions conclusions at face value the court distorts reality i would like to read through it that.

are full and professional. reached by finding. before the conference got underway a leaked internal e-mail showed an unnamed employee was concerned that the o.p.c. w. report on doom or misrepresented the facts. the redacted report states that the gas was likely released from the senate as the original report purposely emphasized the fact that there was insufficient evidence to affirm this this league email centers on the supposed to chlorine gas attack in april 28th seen in the syrian city of doom we saw the united states you may recall at the time france and britain launched missile attacks on several suspected chemical weapons facilities you know p c w report pin the blame for the attack on the syrian government but moscow in damascus claimed from the outset that the chemical attack never occurred former cia officer in the government and whistleblower john kerry who gave us their assessment of the open sea w.'s credibility what he's not saying is that the whistleblowers

information is incorrect what he is not saying is that the report was it changed the redacted report was changed from its original he's trying to protect the organisation right now rather than address the facts of the situation and the facts of the situation indicate that the report was changed it was changed for political reasons with the whistleblowers juicing documentary evidence of this travesty to this investigation so call of doma they're transparent enough the problem is that the head of o.p.c. w. has said no no no i was right the 1st time i was right and overall in the majority opinion i thought the trace amounts of chlorine were enough to pin the blame on jambo blah blah blah the problem is that he continues to say these things and interesting leigh enough it was exactly when he said no no i abide by my earlier

conclusions that they have a national force class itself that now we go ahead and we say no no the head of o.p.c. w. abides by his own his claims and so all this other stuff is you've got a russian talking points the russians are reporting this ipso facto it must be wrong it must be decided to attack our democracy. come on a 4th grader can figure that out. well if you want to find out more much of a bit more about how the o.p.c. w. 100 its report on the chemical attack claims and doom checking out of. home. russia could be sporting events for the next 4 years following the latest recommendations from the global anti doping watchdog while accuses moscow of noncompliance with the agency's demands is correspondent. in order for the russian

sport to get fully back on track in order for the washington national anti-doping agency to regain its official status and also to get back into the national recognition the authorities and this country had to meet some very important work wire men's and perhaps the most important one was that they were supposed to hand over the database from the moscow and don't bring the board treat to the world anti-doping agency and i can tell you that this handover did happen however eventually waters investigators found that some of the elements of that database were either raw erased or modified we remember how in 28 thing during the winter olympic games in south korea russian athletes weren't allowed to compete under their flag as the russian national team well this could happen again in tokyo but

further 4 years sanctions could be even more serious russia's potentially facing a complete ban of the russian flag a complete ban for russian officials to be present at major sporting events and also potentially banned to host any top class competitions so this last bit could really cause a real stir or even a tragedy as some would say because you can just look at the list of the major competitions. that are upcoming and this country which includes some of the matches of the european football championships plus the champions league final the ice hockey world championships the volleyball world championships the universe and so on and you can imagine the organizational headache that may follow if these restrictions are put in place for now this is just what is right commendation the

organization's executive committee will convene on december 9th and that's when the final decision will be made. trying to report in roughly how this bill is and you can continue to follow that of course about don't call me will be across it as well each and every day as more news comes in with us in so far 28 minutes past the kevin in saying what have you do in this tuesday have a great day and. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race. period dramatic developments only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and. the world

is driven by a dream shaped by. the day or thinks. we dare to ask. he always still got to tighten the that's ruthless need. on diplomatic protocol over the intercom and you screwed up you.

could want to take it by getting out of your canadian each you want to look at him as all. the underneath too much haha get to be a good tone crew from the oh yeah i'm often to get those people to fail when i'm in the good job until i'm not all that you can fire going next time you don't come fall out of the marketing or. join me every thursday on the alex island show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you there.
