decades of success over 60000 interviews numerous awards countless suspenders and one inimitable voice a legend an icon a king is dead i don't know what to say except to you. my audience. thank you and instead of good bye. above saul. earlier my colleague at union o'neil spoke to argue merican host rick sanchez who was a longtime colleague of the late larry king he gave us more insight into the character of the legendary interviewer. larry king was the king he was the king. communications in america the even when outside of america i remember there was a time when i 1st started working at c.n.n. and my kids at the time were small and they came up to me and they said dad we're so proud of you now that you're working at c.n.n.

and i said why and they said because you're working with larry king lear eking is a guy who was so good at his craft that he was able to do what most people in our profession would never be able to do and that is he didn't have to book guests guests book themselves he would have a line out the door of people including presidents and prime ministers of every country in the world including the united states job easily who would be knocking on his door asking can you interview me i want to be interviewed by larry king what was it then record the thing that laurie brought to modern popular journalism was it just a complete change from the existing format was it is subject matter what your fault . he was curious it was he was curious almost to a fault curious in looking for answers without ever allowing himself or his ego or his story to get in the way of that curiosity he

asked simple questions like how. why. where larry talked to his guests the way you talk to somebody you just met on the street and you can't wait to find out more about their story and that's what made his interviews so good in 2015 artie's going underground host offshore tante sat down with larry king as part of our channel's 10 year anniversary celebrations as a tribute it will be aired again in full on monday here is a part of it. over the years i've been blessed to a bit of a great presidents. and just so many one i've interviewed jackie robinson the model of the caine but the most emotional interview.

was with the new york city cop. this cop. we booked him and i had i've been know what the story was i just knew that he was on the new york city police force and that he was shot in an incident in central park and he was in a wheelchair and and paralyzed for life and he had a little child who he couldn't feel so i was 3 years old and there was a series of. a bike that fs in central park some people were stealing bikes and he was on patrol driving in a squad car with his fellow patrol and they spotted this black kid with a brand new schwinn bike. and he got out of a car and was approaching a kid and the kid shot to shot. he really didn't feel pain he remembered a puff of smoke coming out of this thing human falling down a member the right in the ambulance they gave him the last rites of the catholic

church and he thought he was going to die anyway survived but he paralyzed that down his with his wife was pregnant and he wondered why did this boy shoot. and the boy was in jail and when as a minor he was 17. and he was in for attempted murder. we don't know what the sentence was but anyway he went to visit the kid. and the kid came out in the cell meeting and he said to the kid why did you shoot. and the kid said. i've been saving to despotic for 4 years i worked to do it with those shoes. in a student. finally got my bike. and you with the 10 tops to stop me that day. the attempt. to stop me what are you doing with

this boy would you have stopped me if i were white. and the cop said he had to think about it and just the fact that we have a think about it. made him understand is a kid stopped 10 tons of course he had a new bike just because he was bored and frustration and. bam. the top. became the kid's big brother. and he got a modern job. and the kid came with. 1000 . 3 muslim federations in france have refused to back

a manual micron's anti extremism charter the president has been touting it as a way to fight radical islam. we regret that this chance it was signed before getting the approval of all components of the french council of the muslim faith we believe that some passages and wordings of the submitted text are of a nature that will weaken the ties of trust between the muslims of france and the nation in addition some of the declarations infringe on the honor of muslims exhibiting an accusatory and marginalizing character however a number of other muslim federations did sign up to the charter after intense and drawn out discussions the project envisions a new national council responsible for vetting the moms in the country it rejects polarized brands of islam and reaffirms equality between men and women islam is terror reared its ugly head again in france just 3 months ago a teacher was beheaded for showing his class cartoons of the prophet muhammad

during a lesson on free speech. on harken patridge was the victim of an islamist terror attack. islam is a religion that is in crisis today all over the world we don't just see it in our country. the will of the islamists is precisely to turn our citizens against the republic using their religion and we cannot let that happen because some attack on samuel pâté triggered a crackdown against extremist mosques and is almost associations the president of the paris based islamic confederation organization faith suck here told us why he

is personally against micron's charter. some of these look at that you will we disagree on a number of matters one being the group this child who was to be addressed to at the beginning it was about drafting a charter republican principles of the national council of in mom's so it was supposed to concern in moms and mosques here we find ourselves with the charter of principles of islam in france and the failure to make the proper distinctions run many paragraphs anyway asking muslims explicitly to clarify their position on subjects that are of this subject that they have respected for years and years the don't pose any problems for them as for the principles of the french republic the french people of the muslim face all live in this country and surrendered sin in respect of the values of the french republic that can gauge us all we do not have to ask them explicitly to measure their religious convictions to prove how respectful they are to the values and principles of the french republic it is certain that there are and to muslim acts we call that islamophobia we're not going

to get into semantics we have a commission called fight against islamophobia so we call it that the reason didn't and then christened these acts especially in light of current events now i also don't want to say the result institutionalized islamophobia in france i really think that our country is doing its best to fight against and to muslim acts against islamophobia but that does not mean that these kinds of acts are not increasing. could it be the new postgraduate reality after the break we hear from a british ex-pat who had his grocery scenes at the spanish border in the search international .

that's geysers financial survival guide liquid those that you can convert as quite easily. to keep in mind though as a tremendous place and. therefore. welcome

back this is r t international now protests have been held in dozens of cities across russia calling for the release of kremlin critic alexina the police were out in force as well as anger boiled over and dozens of arrests were made. was was there. was was. this. not only was detained last weekend on his arrival from germany for violating the terms of his parole don of reports from the protests in moscow. it is getting

a little bit hectic because the police special forces have begun at least their initial attempts to clear out this square which has been completely packed for about an hour now so people have been trying to escape the security forces through this corner as well we managed to keep our vantage point but though we're not sure for how much longer we will be able to do that because there's a lot of people it's a huge crowd it's very very packed so it's difficult to let people through here and not be taken away with this a flood of protesters now it does feel like there's a good few 1000 people here although i haven't seen any official of figures as of yet as to how many people have showed up here in the heart of the russian capital and now there has been some movement also i'd sit quite snowy here in moscow right now so people have been actually throwing snowballs at police officers as they were detaining people because that we have seen some detentions some scuffles fighting

between the protesters and the police and people who were taken and well taken into custody now when it comes to the police response of rather staying with that there's a constant message being played through a megaphone that is right over there calling on the people to disperse saying that it is this rally has not been authorized and also reminding people of the coronavirus situation here because obviously social distancing is not a thing here and it goes even a police officer who was handing out masks at the very beginning of the protest have a lot of. fear. i think it would be my. advice you know by through it it will ruin the group. group of the group or blue moon the you will.

disappear. overnight if you survive the great night. so you could hear that some people saw a surgical mask is a symbol of oppression from the authorities also also when it comes to the amount of people and to how they have been behaving in general they have been chanting slogans like shame or 3 day i'm calling on the release of alexina vali a prominent opposition figure here in russia also they've been calling for the resignation of the russian president vladimir putin which is a traditional traditional thing a traditional chant during protests like this some some protesters also climb to these street lights in you could put you on the show if you can but you could probably see that they left their banners that are hundreds also turned out

for a rally in vladivostok in russia's far east bringing the city center to a standstill police used force to disperse the crowd detaining dozens of protesters and some of those taking part were schoolchildren russia's ombudsman for children has denounced what she described as opposition activists using youngsters as a human shield against the police similar scenes played out in the city of chita though on a smaller scale marches have been happening across the country at a demonstration in the siberian city of krasnoyarsk police tried to reason with some of the younger protesters. really it. appears right there. you see there's a. lot of. people thought you know you are. right.

the russian foreign ministry has claimed the us had been trying to encourage the demonstrations by using its embassy and consulates to publish details of the protest plans online. yesterday the u.s. embassy in moscow published roots of protests in russian cities and to an information about a march on the kremlin but was it instruction even the organizers did not announce such plans you can imagine what would happen if the russian embassy in washington d.c. published a map of protests true syndicating to the end point for example in the capital journalist eva bartlett who reported on the large opposition protest in moscow in 2001000 says saturday's policing wasn't as intense compared to what she has witnessed before. i was surprised to see that protesters were convened in the square in pushkin square and periodical chanting and cheering for a good hour and

a half before the police took any and measures to clear the square when they did that they did it in waves the approaching of forming a line and generally pushing the crowd back i did see baton spinning used but i did not see the kind of excessive violence that i would see in protest for example in france you know not only does have the backing of the west so i think that we will see more protest in the usual attempts to paint scenes of chaos in russia paint scenes of you know mass dissatisfaction in the country one thing i noticed with the protests in 29000 and today there are a lot of young people and on the one hand you could commend young people for being politically aware very young people from ages 12 perhaps lower or older which is strange to me because at that age you don't really have a political awareness so it seems like children might be being used in these in this political game in order to paint to the western world scenes of the

entire mass of russia uprising you know in support of not only who was arrested for i believe it's for breaching his bail so actually a perfectly legitimate reason and who returned to russia knowing full well he would be arrested. could it be a taste of things to come after britain's recent departure from the e.u. britain living in spain and working in the british overseas territory of gibraltar has had his shopping bag emptied by spanish border guards he was forced to leave behind much of its contents. usually you just walk straight say well they might be out check it. out call. they. showed them a bag and they they took the time to look for a little bit more caffeine than they normally day and they started back probably this night pulling everything out after checking a few items they basically just told me that the majority of this you can't take through because it has processed vegetables on it and saying that they were going

to essentially just put them in the. very conversation was officially in keeping with the ears travel guidelines of prohibits travelers from bringing meat and dairy products and processed the vegetables from nonmember states among the items that landed joseph in trouble were processed onions in a spicy sauce and tried to make the best of a bad situation by selling the prohibited products online although at a loss but think it's reasonable i had a brief conversation with one of the guards in the in the office that made my point if i can take these items it seems to me that would be more like a large quantities not for snow items and there was no documentation to support a fact at least my knowledge of the sign that i can take these things over so. if this is already happening in the 1st week after breakfast then yeah over the into space if he a few other issues. as it stands going forward i think the moment we're still in

which a boater is actually having to negotiate an agreement with spain due to us being left out of the breaks it's just my surroundings and some things i was going through the time for just moving around a lot i didn't get. to really wish i had had i voted as a set of really wish i had i would have stood with the 9097 percent of gibraltar that chose to remain because that i didn't really see any benefit whatsoever for us to leave the european union. meanwhile a rout has broken out after the e.u.'s ambassador to britain was denied full diplomatic status london insists it's not obliged to treat representatives of international bodies the same as foreign diplomats working for nation states unless london changes tack of a new ambassador won't be able to get approval by the queen as head of a diplomatic mission u.k.'s decision is at odds with the way the blocs representatives are treated in most other countries and it doesn't sit well with

brussels we are not in it done nationally and in addition of the ozols we have the union i think it would be vice in my view to for do you could to find. britain's foreign office has tried to smooth things over stating that use representative will receive quote the privileges and immunities necessary to carry out their work in the u.k. effectively however political commentator jonathan fryer believes london's approach could backfire. i think this is a really absurd position that the british government has taken because after all we were members of the european union for nearly 50 years and brags that a part is not enough they now want to downgrade the status of the european union and although more than $150.00 countries around the world give full diplomatic privileges to. under the vienna convention and this is the situation that these

landed dissin now with a government surrounded by cabinet ministers who support this nationalistic break city or line which is actually not to toe championing britain's global role as he would see it diminishing britain's role in the international stage if we want to have a good working relationship with the 27 neighbors who are our main trading partner has taken as a whole we really need to have a much more. grown up and she chewed towards this all right that does it for me this i'll be back in about let's say $31.00 and a half minutes with another full of fresh look at the news is arch international. l. look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. i robot

must obey the orders given by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the 1st law show your identification or should be very careful about official intelligence at that point all v.c. is to trace a transfer ever more than sheer. conflict on various chozen with artificial intelligence will summon the demon. the obama must protect its own existence as a mixer. right now there are. people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self. and sugary and salty and addictive it's not at the individual level it's not individual willpower and if we go on believing that never change

this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very deeply the medical and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic it's called for both of. us were pissed off or like absolutely awful 1st game code then a 2nd wave your 3rd is coming no the virus is mutating and i walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to harvey given that. meanwhile patients who had recovered from covert started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think who complain of those things are at play research is all over the world are trying to determine the many things.
