4:04 pm
facts and then we can make up our judgement on our own but all those facts are hidden and they remain hidden and they probably don't even exist i think all media reports that are reporting that he was pardoned without basing that on any kind of evidence at all i just purely and to ration its theory most of the western media has been on a basically what is that trust saved and when you are on a crusade you don't need any facts they could be inconvenient for your crusade against the russian government or the russian people or if you have the substance in question is found in the family of the nest arrays in habits is there a group of chemicals that affect the nervous system they are used in drugs for treating illnesses such as outside as and other forms of dementia as well but the head of moscow state university's pharmacology department told me that the

4:08 pm
such case of false information coming from the protests but i guess they have been taking a look at that. it is difficult for human beings to be neutral just the way it is our biology our psychology makes us want to pick a side to to root for someone even if it isn't our fight so it isn't better or worse a huge divide neighbor against neighbor brother against brother journalist against journalist there are a suit of t.v. personalities of great national networks and improve hest against the president against the elections against the other side i have decided that my broadcast today on bill reese one was the last one nobody influenced this decision i took it myself there are not many of us but we exist vera correct me cover hoost of good morning belarus sergey because low which presenter to tiana brought kidda and

the ballots in the u.s. state of montana it comes after the democrats claim that the petition to get the green party on the ballot was financed by the republicans to split the left wing vote the state court took the greens off the ballots based on lawsuit by the montana democratic party green party members claimed they were left short of the signatures needed to register after supporters were pressured by the democrat the green party says the petition should still stand. this was a valid petition that was filed people were asked if they wanted to sign a petition to have green party candidates on the ballot in the general election in november now we are not naive about republican motives for wanting to circulate a petition for a 3rd party or an independent candidate however. the logic of those republican operatives is that a candidate can take votes away from another candidate and the greens reject that argument it's impossible to take away a vote from a candidate until that vote has been cast until the vote has been cast the vote
4:19 pm
belongs to the voter and so if these voters signed a valid petition of their own free will but they want to see green party candidates on the ballot in november that petition should stand and if we want to get dark money or misleading financing out of politics great let's have fully public financed campaigns the way the greens have been fighting for for decades and that democrats and republicans as a cartel have fought against tooth and nail. in the continuing fallout from the devastating blast in beirut west african workers left jobless have taken to sleeping rough outside their country's embassies and consulates off to finding themselves stranded in lebanon many a women abandoned by employers who could no longer pay them and the country's economic crisis local activists are trying to raise funds to buy them plane tickets home we've been hearing from some of the affected women. i'm pregnant and i'm in this because i want to go home. like right now. in the
