a.b.c. news suspends one of its veteran reporters after he appears on a secretly recorded video slamming his network himself as a social. rival in the race for the for the democratic presidential nomination resort to the 2016 page book suggesting he's backed by russia paid to die german corp it was a 5 year old ban on assisted suicide services sparking fears of an exploitative trade. plus the u.k. government with the findings of an investigation into gangs that green victims claiming it's not in the public interest we get reaction from a victim of sexual abuse. i think it's
4:01 pm
a disgusting decision and it is definitely in the public's interest you have thousands of children that are being. exploited. hello there is midnight in moscow you're watching international investigative project their attacks has gained a reputation for landing mainstream media in hot water and this time it is that of a.b.c. news because one of its veteran reporters has been secretly recorded slamming his bosses on the world of t.v. news in general. i think that i always thought that was it was going to speak about that that's. right maybe it seems to be a. problem he recognized. a.b.c. news was quick to respond the network said that any action that damages his
4:02 pm
reputation for impartiality harms not just a.b.c. news but also the individuals involved the network has suspended the correspondent for an unknown period of time and said he will be kept away from political coverage upon his return however project very tass believes the real reason for the punishment was the fact that the reporter lifted the veil on his own political vs. the absence of things. like i was in my head sort of person was not speaking there to really billions think that this is well that's a problem it just shows how like you know. the media is attitude toward socialism is just complete attack towards it they've all they don't want anything to do with it he just meant health care are bringing in corporations so he didn't he's not an actual you know he's not a marxist you know like me but he was just saying we need some reforms and that
4:03 pm
that apparently is too radical or at least the label socialist but i mean you know the label label i think is the problem what they're really afraid of because they know how popular it's getting. now while a.b.c. news is going through some tough times one of his rivals fox news is celebrating the highest viewership in its entire history and that is partly down to where president trumps state of the union address well folks it easily wins the gold for highest primetime ratings with 3 and a half 1000000 views chiming in m s n b c season 2nd pay with $1780000.00 while c.n.n. complete the pack with a little over a 1000000 viewers so why are we showing these figures well if we compare them to february last year it does appear that c.n.n. has lost viewers to the 2 of 3 percent m s m b c's down something like 9 percent job gail again believes the loss of supporters a lot to do with the networks and sanders bias which has not sat well with
4:04 pm
socialists in the country. the republicans they already saw i miss n.b.c. c.n.n. i miss you and d.c. as the liberal media even though let's let all of us liberal technically. but then you have when they start attacking the leftist candidate bernie the only leftist candidate who is running what was most popular one then the whole left the people the press observed beginning to lose faith in the media as well so the only people who are really for m.s.n. b.c. are like the upper class a bush or a z. or the people or the urban elite since they call them the most upper middle class. types in the cities because you know i don't hear anyone in everyday life saying anything good about imus n.b.c. or and b.c. or c.n.n. the main network that's been the nicest to have sanders is fox and that's probably because fox thinks that bernie is the easiest to beat which is ironic because it's the complete opposite he's the one who probably be trumped and you saw chris
4:05 pm
matthews apologizing for calling her attributing bernie's victory in nevada to the nazi victory over france $940.00 you're seeing some of them taking some steps back and doing that because they're just losing popularity drastically. the next week is a super tuesday when u.s. democrats in 14 states choose their preferred candidate for president but with the latest poll showing that bernie sanders is leading in 9 of the states his rivals are crying foul they allege his success is all part of a clever kremlin strategy the quarter looks now whether the russians have been rumbled. good news comrades our agent bernie sanders is doing better than we expected in the primaries are planned to have 2 agents fight over the presidency operation hammer and sickle is a go but we have one problem some in the democratic party establishment are becoming savvy to our strategy vladimir putin thinks donald trump should be
4:06 pm
president of the united states and that's why russia is helping bernie sanders get elected so he'll lose to trump it doesn't help that just last week western media published information about our top secret operation exposing the connection between agents trump and sanders with our center in moscow as you learned tonight and today yesterday the day before is going to have we're going to war help coming from learn to be prudent. for. sure no for 102 new one somebody who didn't think could be from at least agent trump was able to follow orders i admit nothing deny everything and make counter accusations it was highly exaggerated. and frankly i think it's disgraceful and i think it was a leak from the intelligence committee our house version and i think that they leaked it i think probably shipley good agent sanders on the other hand really dropped the ball he panicked and that is the ugliest thing they're doing is they
4:07 pm
are trying to cause chaos the trying to cause a truth in america it's an ugly business and all of us have got to say sorry you're not going to do this in the selection and again is present in the united states. you will not interfere in our elections and the order was to deny sanders deny but he broke under pressure blowing the cover of our moscow back to bernie bros i disown these people they are not part of our movement all of us remember 2016 and what we meant what we remember is efforts by russians and others to try to interfere in our election and divide us up. i'm not saying that's happening but it would not shock me the center has good reason to believe agent sanders has been compromised we're losing control over his actions and he's praising our strategic allies too openly you know when fidel castro came into office you know what he did he had a massive literacy program it's not a bad think it's only a matter of time before they discover the interview agent sanders gave to profit i
4:08 pm
mean r t what effect do you think you can have on your voters it was so close here in iowa well i just hope that people take a hard look at the real issues impacting their lives to make matters worse we may have a mole in our midst how else could the footage have been leaked remember when the comrades recruited sanders at the new year's party of 1980 bernie spent his honeymoon in there in soviet russia i mean i think you're going to go back and forth about who's more in the tank with russia it's a really hard one between barney and rob we have made too many tactical blunders as it is and western pundits are already undergoing a campaign to discredit our agent obviously we know the russians are continuing to try to choose our next president like they chose our last president the russians don't want me to be the nominee who spent a lot of money on boats on facebook and they've been taken down say biden is a bad guy the no one biden rule in politics pick your opponent and putin and trump are picking their opponent the happiest person right now it's about one in 15
4:09 pm
moscow time this thing is going very well for blood we have to promise you. probably stay up watching us right now are you doing our rivals already know too much comrade commissar i think it's time to extract our agents. and germany's top court is lifted a ban on commercial euthanasia services will they fear the right to die will be exploited for profit peter all of us takes a closer look at the rigging and the reaction it's triggered. almost 5 years after it was the highest coltan germany has ruled. but blocking assisted suicide is unconstitutional and making its ruling on wednesday the constitutional court in culture a said everyone has a right to live and a right to die article 217 of the german criminal code outlawed euthanasia as well as the advertising of the services what this ruling from the constitutional court
4:10 pm
means is that that's being overturned and not only could companies offer eastern asia but that advertising for a day could also stop being seeing the thinking behind wednesday's court ruling is that this will allow those in extreme paying and suffering from terminal illnesses to end their lives on their terms however senior voices within palliative care are warning that this could perhaps only to the normalization and indeed the commodification 'd of suicide in society now the facilitation of suicide for the sick and tired of life is turning into a normal service anyone who allows you to nature will sooner or later make it compulsory to die especially in the society's economized design as knowledge of experience across all other countries shows that supply creates demand immediately following the ruling politicians are asking what situations this will be allowed in also what the commercial implications will be for companies wanting to get involved
4:11 pm
in the euthanasia business i want clear rules about when medical assistance in particular is allowed and when commercial offerings are excluded i asked people here in berlin what their thoughts 'd are on the ruling the way that this is right for germany it's not a commercial thing dying it it's something that needs care security it needs. yes professionalism i think there are certain things that you cannot put to sale to people like it's not a business you pay for yes i know want to commit suicide but i'm suffering i want to end my life you cannot. doing that to pay for it seems like there was very bad incentives there if for example that advertising was actually targets people who already have a hard time it could lead to people considering suicide more strongly i don't disagree with their physician assisted suicide just because like there are certain aspects that are beneficial for it but in terms of the advertising i could go
4:12 pm
either way like a really it depends on who is in control of that promoting this kind of fings for me is that a progress currently within a year of belgium the netherlands looks a book and switzerland all allow assisted dying but with germany said to joy in the concerns are about that what is one of the most sensitive of subjects could be set to become a business opportunity piece or all of the. well it is a story that has generated a lot of the pinion we put the issue of the debate. we would be extremely worried about any commercialization or run of the process or into a promotion that would lead to many vulnerable people feeling that their lives were not worth living and actually ending them prematurely you're posing. as a business issue or a business model but you don't as he is only on the request of the person i was going to die and they've dispersed and he's not asking for it there should not be
4:13 pm
any euthanasia but we're talking about a very different thing here court decision was about commercial assisted suicide this isn't a louse commercial providers to provide suicide assistance like make guards of suicides is sort of the objects to do talking about mcdonalds giving suicide to assistance some people do not want to wait with their dying till they're finally suffering too much and they want to keep the addicted t. by does ruling from the constitutional court it is possible for persons to ask a professional to give a proper medically assisted suicide and i think death is a great game this. is and it is perfectly normal for people who have a terminal diagnosis to feel suicidal but we should be doing is trying to find ways to assist those people in getting through that period and actually living their
4:14 pm
lives rather than promoting assisted suicide and says you talk about suicide in the media then many people that would not otherwise commit suicide do in fact commit suicide and this is why every report in the media of suicide always shows people where they can go where they can find help and the media try to minimize reports of suicide and so if we see commercial advertising we will see many people seeing that as the easy way out. now the u.k. government is withholding research on gangs that growing victims say it was commissioned after a spate of child exploitation scandals here's how the home office though explained this decision not to release the findings. we recognized that this topic in general and any insight and learning matters of strong public interest although it does not necessarily follow that it is in the public interest to disclose any specific
4:15 pm
information relating to it survivors of abuse at the hands of british grooming gangs have accused officials of inaction and also empty promises we spoke to one of them i met my me have changed when i was 1st he was 20 trolleys out and he was known to. be very dangerous so i was abused mentally physically and sexually and also into committing crimes so it's well and that's another part of exploitation that many victims ourselves and have been subjected to i went to the police when i was 16 and it happened unfortunately but again i went to the police when i think about 27 years so i didn't feel too imparted again so i contacted a journalist from a newspaper there and i told him i was in that have and and i gave the velocity and you know pieces of evidence to prove what i did and i mean publish my story you know it was 2013 and it was actually consider where the criminal investigation into
4:16 pm
that we. were some 19000 suspected victims of child sexual exploitation were reportedly identified by local authorities and 2018 to 2019 that is a huge increase on 5 years earlier the u.k. government has vowed to take action to prevent such crimes from happening in the future thanks an investigation into the problem of green gangs was announced by saudi javid when he was british home secretary back in 2018 he pledged though that he would not let cultural or political sensitivities get in the way since a decision not to publish the probe's findings leaves them with many unanswered questions. i think it is a disgusting decision and it is definitely in the public's interest you have thousands of children that have being abused exploited. i mean to crime is over sexual acts and we want to know why this is what happened why it's still
4:17 pm
happening a why these people are being allowed to get away with it there's clearly something in that report that the government doesn't want us to tell about because if they didn't want us there is no we should they just release it so the fact that they're making excuses and i think is weak excuses well to say it's not a dowry chest so the fact that now google men it's a well actually we're not even good at least the standings. you know i think is a real blow to assist victims but we have requested comment on the story from the u.k. home office alone so far there haven't given us a reply we got reaction from the child protection activist tony bugel she says that this is the decision will undermine trust in politicians. this report was promised to victims and again they found them and just think that they're making excuses and that all they've done is they have gone back on the word that they gave to victims
4:18 pm
of these crimes it's a combination of political correctness i think is a cultural sensitivities i think it's fear of what they believe grace is and people whose country don't trust politicians and it will without being able to see what's going on we don't know if we're being lied to again and now and then that has to stop it and the political correctness of having this this we fear a backlash would you know what we fear girls being raped. the greek island of les bosses being paralyzed for a 2nd day due to a general strike it was called as part of local opposition to the government's latest plans to create new refugee camps there people joined a march chanting slogans against the current situation existing camp on less boss currently holds something like $20000.00 migrants although it was designed only to hold about $3000.00 earlier this week several rallies against the building of more
4:19 pm
migrant camps turned violent the government sent extra police there but the move only made islanders more angry. the fight continues nothing is over struggling to prevent the construction of any closed or open prison last night was a big win for the people of lesbos who repelled the landing of the government's repression forces on the island of lesbos terrorizing us want to work they say and try to police to repress tearing struggle we continue we want no closed open hotspot anywhere the government managed to unite all the people of les mis against its policy which would great a large warehouse of refuge in migrant prison. that no new camp is constructed on the island the immediate removal of the existing camps the closure of the morea camp receive guarding of borders and the regulation of n.g.o.s our lives have been destroyed on wednesday violence erupted as protesters rallied near
4:20 pm
a minute from camp on this side and i did try to attack stones and flares like media reports on the same day around 60 people were injured and i've seen police the greek government says there is only one solution. but there is no alternative to the government's plans to build a closed structures to accommodate refugees and migrants. ok let's discuss this issue now with notice madison is a former professor at the university of crete and good evening. what do you make of the greek government's response that there is no solution other than to open these new camps on lesbos. well i think the government. policy is what we. say is that the government
4:21 pm
should save guard. and. true. with the examination of the asylum applications and also the government has to start to patients because we have thousands of the seizures that. from from the relevant institutions that say that certain migrants are not allowed now to stay unit greece because they are not sick of us so the government has to execute this decisions and the government has to deport them and also we have a new decision from the european court of human rights this was taken last week. from strands book and it says that any person that entered illegally in the area of 2nd then the government has the right to deport them
4:22 pm
immediately so i think the government has to be more active on the issue of the patients why has that support receive say many migrants why is it being overwhelmed in this manner because from what you've said there are things that the government can do but it doesn't seem as they would steering them or at least not quick enough . well actually the majority of the. migrants in lesbos are not asylum seekers they are. economic immigrants so they have gathered together in have visited the place many times but now the situation is really explosive we have more than 202-5000 people gathered there and you understand that this cannot go on and this has happened because the previous government of cities that was very soft as far as it concerns the safeguard of the borders and unfortunately the new government of democracy is following the the
4:23 pm
policies of syriza and so they do not. take active measures as far as it concerns the safeguard of the borders the regular a zation of the working of the n.g.o.s and also the execution of court decisions we would say that. at least 5 or 6 thousands from the applicants have to go back to turkey because their applications for asylum were dismissed do you think the actions of the islanders will actually force the government to take action do you think it will have any impact at all. one of the the the incompetence of the islands were pressing the previous government of syria to change its policies new democracy. it was in opposition said that they will change their policies unfortunately they follow the same policies as the previous government this is
4:24 pm
under the instructions of the european union so the in line there is slanders do not work anymore. and of course they have been protesting and now the government has gone a little bit back i don't know if you are aware of a decision of the prime minister or a few hours ago he said that he's going to resume the islands and also he said that he's going to use the. regulations concerning the public health because of the court order knows why it was so he has asked the authorities to be more strict as far as it concerns the border controls and i understand that the people. that will arrive in the islands in the next days
4:25 pm
they will be deported immediately because the government now has decided to use the board the decisions of 2nd of which. that for reasons of. health for the government good laws the borders and deport all people that. illegally rule the area so using the. issue of the government might be more moral that. illegal immigrants ok well look thanks for that information that was a notice mariah's will have to leave it there form any pay and professor out of university of crete thank you. now a u.n. security council meeting on the situation in syria has seen a war of words are up between participants with russia and syria on one side and western states on the other the latter accuse moscow and damascus of hitting civilian targets in the province of italy. shelter food and medicine are
4:26 pm
desperately needed but they are no match for russian air strikes the white helmet reported that russian warplanes hit a children's and women's hospital as for reports of schools and hospitals being bombed there's no u.n. presence in live and i'm a couple of phone calls are taken as confirmation of such attacks we've identified such fakes before which were also based on supposedly reliable sources responses to requests are delayed for months even when approval is given under half a permitted to proceed key medical supplies are routinely removed from convoys the syrian government has raised the number of approvals for humanitarian operations to 600 a month 95 percent of these approvals a blanket approvals say to essentially the syrian government doesn't restrict the number of humanitarian missions working in the country we must concentrate all of our efforts on immediately establishing a durable and verifiable cease fire those calling for
4:27 pm
a cease fire negotiations with the terrorists by the ignorant to directly supporting those terrorists i'll ask you why didn't you the western powers negotiate with bin ladden and all but dad the 1st is fired than to. remodel in the ground the syrian army says it has liberated the key. along with 15 of the villages in the 3 provence that's according to syrian state media. meanwhile us 2020 presidential candidate for the libertarian party to tell this many in the west to putting their trust in trust with the suv since. you have to realize it's a cultural and language barrier and that's what's going on when it comes to the middle east a lot of these people don't understand the language i'm very fortunate to be able to understand arabic and all the dialects therefore i can listen to them meeting i can listen to it and understand it whether it's in arabic or any other language because sometimes a lot of the words are lost in translation and i think that's what's happening right now is that people are getting their information from the wrong side we've
4:28 pm
seen that from the very beginning i mean they were who were their sources it was al jazeera news elgin 0 news was the one that was playing the tapes of bin ladin what does that show you so when you have people such as angelina jolie who is ignorant of the situation and thinks that she wants to have a spotlight by protecting the said children people who are believing these white helmets who are nothing more than oscar nominee people that are filming and faking news it's really ridiculous that they're defending these people that they're defending when all the syrian government is trying to do is liberate its people from terrorism completely. you want to give us the news for the moment don't forget plenty of stories on our web site at us.
4:29 pm
that's geysers financial such. a. clutch it is it is a central bank so for diet goodness i don't have a mind now so i stopped. the
4:30 pm
nominee and i just know that i don't need mr nash in the world. and not. me and internet neighborhood and going to what i'm going to see i'm going to work on it this young. children our former girlfriend. surely can't. imagine.
