and enemy of the us to stop the scientists are just up to the polls ahead of monday's key democratic caucus and i was despite facing attacks from the media the socialist on. the get the u.k. is it a much as the man behind sunday's knife attacks in london had some time in prison for terror related offenses but was released before the kids competed his sentence he was shocked at on 2 wounding 2 people. also italian mafia gets it sounds on 10000000 euro in view our cultural funding as an investigation claims to reveal the criminal tactics used to pressure them. into the store then they destroyed the

whole property by shooting everything on fire we kind of join the dots together and realized that we were being targeted by the mafia. on public their rights says 14 states in america to battle the country's environmental protection agency off to ease safety regulations for chemical plants. it's just 13 pm here in moscow from myself and the whole team here i'll teach you a very warm welcome to the group. monday marks the beginning of the road to the white house for us democrats counted it's a reading to do battle in the state of iowa a caucus vote that's proven influential in deciding who runs for president and as the candidates just sold for a shot at the oval office outside to un socialist bernie sanders is leading the way in terms of donors on joint front runner. in the polls the iowa caucus is the start

of primaries and usually a litmus test for what's to come for example bill and hillary clinton went on from victory in iowa to run as the democrats counted it and brought a bomb did too ahead of the votes later this monday that his what the latest polls indicate bunny saunders shaz a surprise meet with former vice president joe biden to see both the 25 percent and the leaving of the centrist hopefuls behind ati's caleb maupin reports on why washington might be wary of assad as victory. the iowa caucuses are upon us and monday as the 1st primary contest takes place and jaws are dropping because the front runner isn't one of the sexy centrists favored by the d.n.c. but an elderly socialist from vermont 2 is technically not even a democrat but a registered independent can imagine any woman watching last night and saying i believe bernie i think people believe has been running bernie sanders against trump

would be an act of insanity so to have him just flat out say no i think wasn't wasn't nearly enough to address that for the women watching bernie can't win according to the new york times bernie sanders is surging ahead because he has an enthusiastic base of supporters who are attracted to his left of center agenda mr saunders insurance and his apparent roys in the earliest primary and caucus states reflects both the loyalty of his core support says and their conviction that mr saunders would bring the same fighting resilience to the general election even now as mr saunders takes the lead in the 1st 2 early states his opponents have not delivered a sustained argument against his candidacy and remain reluctant to take him home bernie sanders describes himself as a democratic socialist and socialism is supposed to be a dirty word in the united states but not so much anymore polls show that younger people are not so hostile to the term and are far more critical of free market

policies and austerity c.n.n. is certainly no fan of bernie sanders a paid contributor is even happy to admit it i hope that my networks clear bias against bernie sanders will convince citizens of all idiology state corporate media figures overwhelmingly for sake journalism in favor of blatant activism oddly president trump has had mixed things to say about the front runner in the rival party which bernie well. it will be interesting to see how he does i think what happened to bertie. they be was that so many so i think he was taken advantage of you read great 4 years ago. and he was done treated with respect by clinton those wounds from 2016 are certainly open and sore among bernie's core supporters leaked e-mails revealed that the d.n.c. was working overtime to deprive him of the nomination it's not just those mainstream t.v. networks or the leaders of the democratic party this former assistant director of

the f.b.i. actually admitted that for years this federal agency actually works to keep people like bring sanders from taking office the electorate in some places is putting more and more progressive than self described socialist in positions one of the missions of the f.b.i. in its counterintelligence efforts was to try and keep these people out of government he wasn't joking either the f.b.i. is cointelpro program worked to isolate left wing groups and keep them from gaining any influence one radical group called the socialist workers party actually sued the f.b.i. and spent a decade in court proving that their rights were violated court proceedings revealed that the f.b.i. had planted fake news stories infiltrated the organization broken into offices and even had members arrested on false charges all in the hopes of weakening the socialists at the ballot box bernie sanders was at one point a registered elector for the socialist workers party he campaigned for them amid

the harassment and legal battles so it's pretty safe to say the f.b.i. has been on d.m. for some time with so much working against him bernie sanders seems to be pulling ahead getting more donations than any other candidate and his rallies are packed full of young people who were attracted to his message of cancelling student debt and guaranteeing health care with a 2020 primaries in full swing many observers are asking themselves can bernie sanders really pull this off. r.t. new york and it's gone less to live he spoke to us about why the democrats are trying to shut the door on sunday. i think you see a lot of these people who within the democratic party would rather see another trump presidency than would see rather see a socialist or substance describe socialist or anyone really to the left of joe biden become president if you look at the last primary campaign where bernie sanders ran against hillary clinton there was definitely an underhanded campaign to undermine his own campaign and whether it be true superdelegates or backroom deals

there was a lot that went on that really stripped bernie sanders of any of his power and you see a lot of this playing out today and you see these random attacks that other candidates such as elizabeth warren joe biden and people who get to judge have come out attacking bernie sanders because he represents a different wing of the democratic party and you know a lot of polls show that joe biden and hillary clinton these people who feel as though the election is owed to them don't have very high approval ratings they're not very much liked because they represent the establishment in the in the voters' minds of the same movements that have left them behind all these years. the reports say that i said has claimed responsibility for sunday stopping attacks in stratham south london 2 people were injured in the assault before the perpetrator was shot dead by police it's also marked the man had served time in prison for terror

related offenses but what's released before having completed the full sentence now live shot dead with passion in london for us so if we're getting a lot more information now about the attack what can you tell us what do we know. well of course terror has now come to the streets of london for a 2nd time in just 2 months and again the nice man this time around he too was released early from prison just like the london bridge attack in december of last year this time around though 20 year old sudesh amman he served just half of his time in prison a sentence that was over 3 and a half years he was released just halfway through that sentence full possessing and distributing bomb making materials which is of course a terror offense now he carried out his bloody rampage on the streets of stratham and though it's not in the heart of the capital it bears many resemblances to the last terror attack that london has witnessed many would argue that the similarities is mostly to do with the fact that they were both wearing hoax devices on their 40

before being shot dead by police officers now london message the caller has stressed the similarities and is demanding urgent urgent it says from the top of the government. so that it's a question i've got for all from for the government to ration to what they're doing to keep us able give us some examples we know there are some to your people who have been convicted of a tour offense and have been released from prison what are the government doing to make sure that they are not a danger to the public because roughly speaking people conviction of terrorism in prisons no what are we doing to make sure they're being punished and reformed rather than be the recipients of radicalization where prisons are universe of crime rather than proper probably be but i decided quite worried erosion to the government's response but. now at the time of the attack quite interestingly among those under close and active police surveillance on that stretton high street however 2 police officers they failed to prevent an atrocity in an essence of what

they did manage to do was to prevent anything that happened any further but of course many people would argue that quite perplexed how any atrocity happened at all considering 2 police officers were trailing by. and indeed we've heard from the home secretary pretty patel she's saying that measures are being put in place to prevent anything further from happening. well i think fundamentally this is very much about the system and we spoke about those issues why i brought forward those measures just 2 weeks ago when it came to counterterrorist offenders tack to fender's as we knew them and were let out of prison under different laws so this is a law that goes back obviously to previous government. well despite reassurances and indeed the government's announcements that there will be a radical and fundamental change to the system in the judicial system and indeed the criminal justice system when it comes to dealing with terrorists many would argue and question how indeed an other convicted terrorist was able to carry out

such an atrocity on the streets of london just days after being released so yet again the spotlight is back on terrorism here in the capital well it certainly seems that the government needs to do some rethinking about its current system but surely i was just reporting from london many thanks. we got reaction from chris phillips as well he's a former head of the u.k.'s national counterterrorism that's what he had to say. unfortunately we don't have more police in use the so i think it will become clear soon whether this person has been released from prison whether he has come back from syria known as a fighter that way we'll know more about him and why he was considered a real threat and that will be the time when perhaps the criminal justice system again will be held up as not protected because the chances are that this person is very well known easy. been convicted or been in trouble with the police for these sort of things and that's why they knew so much about it. another big story the

united states environmental protection agency has sparked outrage over its decision to ease chemical plant safety regulations now 14 states all across the country are preparing to file lawsuits saying the ruling is putting public safety at risk to trump the e.p.a.'s cutting critical safeguards against explosions 5 guess releases and other accidents of this facility's accident prevention is a top priority of the e.p.a. and this rule promotes improve coordination between chemical facilities and emergency responders and reduces unnecessary regulatory burdens now back in december the agency rolled back amendments to the chemical disaster rule which came into force under barack obama after a series of incidents the latest changes have been criticized for locking prop up protection outside audit for example have been dropped so too have tax safety checks and strict emergency requirements many fit will need to more accidents and

in fact just 2 days after the changes a huge explosion shook a chemical plant in texas. i they have dropped along with regulation in the last 2 or 3 years because you go to grover because you know you know. i don't know if this particular you should be in your cobra movie the closing of. the regulations you did wrong. i really don't know. we stay in a state where there's nothing but chemical plants and oil fields and stuff like bit so you never know how close or how far he might be to get it and if those rules of pool but there is no regulation they can do whatever they want and pretty much everybody knows that a big business if you have enough money to make stuff disappear for so regulation go. away these people are they don't mess with our dollars they mess with

you know truly billions of dollars so i mean. mining made the world go around. actually to the plight of the worst the coldest to kill korean poison put on it out of. the window you know safety has always been and i can certainly know the risk factors in the area that make it one of those thank you just hope it never really. well richard stein is an international adviser on offshore oil environmental risks he believes that the well actually puts everyone in danger. there's no question

that deregulating these high risk industries such as chemical plants petroleum refineries offshore oil and gas operations increases the risk of public safety risk environmental risk and catastrophic risk to the to the people living around these industrial activities and that's in nobody's interest it's not in the public's interest certainly and it's not of the industry centrist either because of the enormous price tag that comes with that i suspect the political operatives at the top of the e.p.a. which are directly from industry and the trump administration would suggest that. that it will improve and improve. public safety and such like that by reducing regulatory burdens and such like that that's absurd if they can't meet these very reasonable public safety and environmental regulatory standards and then they're not doing the best and safest technology standard that we know we need to hold them

to so it's it's an absurd contention by the political operatives at the e.p.a. still to come this allegation latest development from sirius at the province where tucker's troops have been killed during operations without either russia or syria all that stock to take i'll tell you what about it in 90 seconds. let's talk about 20th century socialism this is when governments made mal investments and then they bailed out those mal investments and so the economy went bankrupt versus 21st century capitalism this is one banks make malinvestment they when they go bad they bail out the malinvestment and the cycle continues until the economy goes bust and those who are are.

going to. be put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want. to going to be approached this is what before 3 of them or 10 people. i'm interested in the war. welcome back russia's reconsideration center in syria has said that tucker's troops have crossed into the syrian province up without giving up prior notification 6 soldiers were killed in an attack by syrian government forces according to uncross

don't of course have brings us the details. well a syrian war monitor is now reporting that 13 syrian soldiers were killed after turkey's unannounced incursion into the syrian region of it was there that turkish troops came under artillery fire by syrian government forces just hours after a turkish military convoy crossed the border now syrian troops are currently engaged in a renewed offensive in adlib against the last stronghold of militants in the country but turkey's president says that this campaign is actually in violation of a cease fire treaty that they've had previously. i want to tell the russian authorities that our interlocutor here is not to you but the syrian regime and do not stand in our way or no one claims that a number of turkish troops were killed in this incursion and that the number of wounded was actually higher than previously reported he also says that the turkish military already retaliated with air strikes involving f.

16 s on syrian military positions according to him between 30 and 35 syrian servicemen were quote neutralized but the russian reconciliation center had quite a different account of what happened. the airspace over the deescalation zone is being constantly controlled by russian aerospace forces turkish planes did not violate the syrian state border and there were no attacks on syrian troops so far we've heard no reaction from the syrian government and we're left with 2 very different versions of what happened from russia and turkey. european union funds are being harvested by an unexpected source after an investigation has claimed the sicilian mafia has been defrauding the block of millions of euros through farm land subsidies shot it deepens he looks into the mob's 21st century tactics. drugs it may be officially done and dusted but for the even the headache of trying to balance its books without the u.

case contribution is only just beginning no one area that has been a marked is farm subsidies to support agriculture and livestock breeding at a cost of around $60000000000.00 euro every year it's the biggest expense for the e.u. and while farmers are up in arms at the me a hint there subsidies could be about to change it seems that evil has been accidentally blowing the budget for the last decade not on farmers but would you believe it from the mafia. example in a farmer who's also a neighbor asked me to lease out my land to. allow him to obtain community funds and to greece's flock over slee are quite known for weeks later the house you see behind me was heavily damaged by arson.

when the if we wanted to bring about an eco village community a landowner elderly gentleman. and redox on one evening and identified. sneaked onto the property and cut all the beams on the roof making it on food for you then they destroyed the whole property by setting everything on fire we kind of join the dots together and realized that we were being targeted by the mafia they were interested in our lab because farmers receive money based on the amount of land they hold so the more land you have the more you can ask for european funds. the problem was so bad at times honest farmers stopped a bidding for new land giving the mafia clans free reign to suck up any other land could be used to claim subsidies and as e.u. subsidies are based on possession of land rather than what's produced on the land

there was no need for the mafia to do anything but to sit back and count the money so much the clowns could rent land for next to nothing and claim subsidies i don't much higher rate ok so you think surely some technocratic asian revisits the farms and castes annoyer of what's going on right. local authorities should develop their own systematic reviews of it to check up on european funds the size of judicial one currently this review is carried out only on paper but actually there are not any real checks on the funds and whether they arrive in the territory . in some cases the forward was a brazen applications were made for land not owned by the applicant others were made for people who were not even alive and although the scam has not been unveiled with 94 arrests so far only 2 matthew families have been implicated the problem

could be much worse it's also clear that this type before does not restrict it to just sicily italy similar claims about maffia gangs fleecing the e.u. have been made in slovakia and romania it's thought. these investigations in sicily could now lead to changes elsewhere in the e.u. but many will be questioning why it's taken so long for this type of fraud to be unearthed and why the e.u. has been allowing itself to be milked for so long. r.t. paris. to america where the u.s. state of south dakota is on the verge of passing a bill that could lead to the criminalization of children being given gender altering hormones if the state senate agrees the new regulations would mean hefty fines for doctors who fail to comply here's how one of the lawmakers behind the bill explained why he thinks it's so important the solution for children's

identification with the opposite sex isn't to poison their bodies with mega doses of the wrong hormones to chemically or surgically castrate and sterilize them or to remove healthy breast and reproductive organs the solution is compassionate care and that doesn't include catastrophic lee and irreversibly altering their bodies while similar bills have actually been proposed in other states too and they would ban gender altering sodomy and hormone treatment being performed on minors punishment for doctors could range from anywhere between a $2000.00 fine to 15 years behind bars these initiatives though how been met with opposition as well according to some estimates around 150000 teenagers in the u.s. identify as transgender those opposing the bill say such regulations would adversely affect their quality of life still lawmakers in multiple states are pushing ahead to enact the bills and nor while we heard from both sides in the

debate with media commentator and host you know luton and political activist and new rogers right. we do know for a fact that gender identity dysphoria is a medical condition which has been accepted by the american medical in american psychiatric association so these kinds of buildings that are bigger species than insouciance aren't really about protecting children as much as they are about not protect engine engender people folks who have some sort of gender identity crisis do need counseling there's no question about that and we've known that for a long time counseling can have many of the same benefits as hormonal therapies that are much less life changing so again we have to ask ourselves are we really doing what is humane when we as adults are trying to perhaps impose what is our politically correct interpretation on teenagers who are going through something that is perhaps only temporary i think that does go actually teach the way that

ability for parents in children and youth in minors to make decisions that best suit them and at the same time we can be putting them at more risk for mental health a woman's as well as a physical ailments later on in life children or adults who transition their gender tend to have a 41 percent higher tendency to commit suicide this is a very disturbing number and so that's already in play but then if they go ahead with the gender transistor transition surgery they tend to have a 19 times higher rate of suicide if we go ahead and facilitate that is it really compassionate if it's increasing your suicide rate this is unfortunately and it's by conservative and right when hundreds and there acolytes to further dehumanised in general people in the b t q i a community as a whole it's extremely unfortunate that the right wing orthodoxy which preaches

america. values of freedom and liberty and justice for all don't seem to believe that so i don't think that this is this is anything to do with protection and this has to do with with oppression and suppression of people whose lifestyles that they don't agree with. i'm going to stop let's look at some briefly some stories from all around the world starting in france where yellow fast protests descended into finance in the south of the country over the weekend. the. clashes were focused around the central square in the city of mum pelley $1000.00 people stood around for around 4 hours riot police used tear gas and water cannon also made $21.00 arrests the protest movement has been active for 60. originally gates fuel tax hikes but the rally has become a tool to plow forward until government demonstrations. dozens of migrants crossett

anyone else chose seemed wrong wrong wrong just don't call. me. yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

and on free no nor. no free shipping. what are the how did not. appreciate. the ability to forgive a moment on a fault on any of us want to learn to have been but i mean that's a big part of. that a product which i think. this is the only thing that we do is the music. we put in the song the music because everybody fights a. way. and i mean i'm not going to die is the mcconnell sway or both successes because they

could still small victory that i. was in this way got to do.
