history and the revolving go between the corporation now looks like an impossible. that is actually what we should be aiming for. instead of aiming for their carbon is close to 27 as possible. and bear in mind, you know, for even one to 5 degree the campus last week, just in, in germany, you know, a 100 people died because it's flat to climate change with thing. you're north america on fire, the park center. this is already a crime against humanity, and unfortunately this is more, more delay when we need to real transfer direction. watching out internationally, nicely company tonight that brings you up to date with all the needs so far. we'll have more for you at the top of the ah, ah

ah . ah after 16 years and ankle merkel as making her last visit to the white house as a top leader in germany, we're going to bring you the details of the meetings as well as the low expectations for solutions regarding the outstanding foreign and economic policy issues between the 2 countries are 4 ways in on what could actually be achieved in the us government. this week has issued a warning for american companies who are operating in hong kong. we will tell you

if this is just political pontification, or are there real reasons to be concerned? i did the f, b, i a bought the sex abuse. probe a doctor at nasa. the usa gymnastics doctor has been accused and sentenced from leslie. multiple female gymnast under his care. we're going to look into this possible cover up. and while the world was focused on kobe for the last year, one of the biggest killer is every year grew even more powerful. we're going to give you the details on this predator who claimed the highest number of victims in 3 decades. i'm just going to use and you are watching the news you use right here on our to america. let's get started. the internal watchdog of the justice department is criticizing how the f b i handled the investigation into the former olympic dramatic team,

dr. larry masser and a 10900 page report that was just released. agents made fundamental errors and did not respond with a sense of urgency to the allegations. a nicer has been accused by o around 70 different athletes of abuse and already serving time in jail. now john manley's, one of the attorneys who represent several of the abused, as he said, the most damning thing he had ever read about a law enforcement agency, an entire office of the f. b. i concealed larry nasser, sexual abuse of athletes. these are very strong words, which are probably echoed from several of the families that are involved to discuss around re writings toppings, conservative commentator strategists, and the health contributor, who is also a competitive jim. jim, this are for taking on the never ending acrobatics of motherhood. thank you for joining me, rory. thanks for having me. ok, so i know you've been following issue and i've talked about this off camera and so i thought i wanted to get your take on this because we've talked about the

different cases of abuse against the doctor in the past. but what does it mean now to hear that the f b, i not only knew of it, but possibly actually covered it up? well, i think the main thing that it means is that the gymnast who had been bringing this to light over the years were absolutely right. as we've discussed, they had mentioned this had filed reports and they felt like no one was listening. unfortunately, this confirms that those thoughts were correct. no one was listening the f b, i had these complaints. and as, as mentioned several times throughout the report just didn't take them seriously enough. and if going through this type of abuse isn't devastating enough, having somebody not take you seriously after you have the courage to bring it forward, is just another blow on top of flow. so i think that it's of some solid to those who were victims of dr. nasser to know that finally people are paying attention, but again, it is just horrifying that really so much of this abuse could have been stopped

once the f b. i had this information in their hands yet they chose not to do it. you know, or i think about how you the different levels of any organization, especially in athletic organization. but to get to the f b i at that point is kinda like, or taking a case of supreme court. you know, at that point there's enough people, i have looked at it. so i'm angry at the f b, i no doubt. but all of those people to get to that point. also, i believe should be held accountable for the, for just continuing to pass on the buck. usually, you know, after looking at this story and the layers that are involved, do you believe there should be a special prosecutor appointed right now? well, personally, yes i do believe that. and john manley, the attorney, representing many of the victims who you referenced in your introduction, he's actually made that call for a special prosecutor in this situation. michigan state university were dr. nasser was employed, they did hire a special prosecutor back in 2018 to get to the bottom of this and intend to show some accountability in route out the wrong. like you said, there are just so many layers to some of these organizations. so there is that

precedent set by m su, and it will be great to see that here with the f b i. and as we've seen, unfortunately some of the rot but is taking place in the f. b, i extends beyond this was an isolated incident. we know from 2019 and some of the issues surrounding the trump investigation with carter page in russia, gate and those sorts of things that, that there were issues with the f b i and them not following standard procedures and protocol in other situations. so this situation, i think it certainly brings it to that level, but the fact that this isn't an isolated incident, i think, absolutely heightens the need for something like a special prosecutor. take a look at what's happening from the inside over or you could not have thrown that to me any age or credit to our next question because the ultimate, the bigger picture and all of this does the f b, i have an integrity issue right now. and should congress and the bio ministration do more to hold these agencies entrusted with protecting us accountable when mistakes are exposed?

well, yes, i would say that absolutely. i think that many layers of government are struggling with an integrity issue right now in the f. b. i is certainly one of them. as for congress, i know that senators murphy, moran, have called for hearings on this issue. but i think it's important to note that they had hearings back in 2018 when this was coming to light. and unfortunately, those hearings resulted in a lot of grand standing from the committee members. it didn't result in a lot of action. so yes, i think congress should do more and holding hearings is certainly a start, but some follow through on oversight of these organizations rather than just getting their moment on television for hearing and a talking point. i don't think that's enough that we've seen a lot from congress so absolutely, i think we need more from them and that looks like them falling through on oversight in holding some people's in these organizations accountable. well, and obviously that hearing did nothing if they did not even catch up this market, the f b, i could have covered up for like, always,

great to chat with you. and while i global pandemic, what's causing people to remain isolated, there was another epidemic continue to breed. drug overdose in the u. s. skyrocketed, and the number of people dying as a result is staggering. r t correspondent natasha suite. has the story more than a whopping 90000 people died from drug overdoses in 2020 that's up some 30 percent compared to 2019 and health official say more drugs mainly with fentenol is showcasing to be part of that friend ambulances on overdrive a drug overdose. is during the cove an 18 pandemic escalate? he was in pool of vomit. and you know, in just when he was gone, the brother of michelle branch is just one of some 93000 who lost their lives to a drug overdose last year. and they found a paper plate with

a powdery substance on it, and they're like, this is fentanyl, according to new data released by the centers for disease control and prevention. fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid is poisoning the already dangerous supplying of drug circulating throughout the us. many times it's mixed into other drugs without the user's knowledge, the death from opioid, methamphetamine, and cocaine have all skyrocketed and official. se fentanyl is the common denominator, but not the officials believe drug use. also. so or during the pandemic as a result of people feeling isolated, new statistics released wednesday reveal at least 93331 death occurred in 2020 from drug overdoses. that, that from 72151 in 20. 19 people didn't know that the stuff was andrew itself or people were, they were addicted. they didn't know that many who needed treatment for drugs during the pandemic were unable to get it from disruptions and service to job losses. many factors contributed to preventing some from getting the help they needed. meantime, several pharmaceutical companies accused of fueling the opioid crisis,

are on trial in the state of new york. the only company, not part of that trial, is pretty former, which settled with 15 states and the district of columbia. right before the trial began for $4500000000.00. a sampler family which owns purdue has also agreed to an additional $225000000.00 in a civil government with the department of justice and what mit no wrongdoing reporting for new if you choose and how to tweak r t well for bush divided and chance our angle and merkle finishes up her last trip as the leader of germany today. at the white house. prove you all the details after the break. with the moving your body literally can strengthen. it's like your brain kind of a muscle movement. you're not just breaking your biceps, you tried that. you are literally strengthening the connections. you're in fact,

in certain areas, you're actually growing. stimulating the growth of brand new brain cell on drugs started as a way to come back. a great problem. what's the one? it's part of the attitude of the nation, not just of north dakota, and it got to be something that you could get elected. this time, the fight against drugs took a check. he told us that andrew was competent short form. this is way too dangerous for him to be doing. clearly they put him in harm's way. a rural college student interest get shot in the head and found in a river like that. something else had to be happening. ah ah,

it's your last visit to the white house as the chance of germany, but anglo merkel trip has been shadowed by some very pressing issues and major differences between the united states in germany. so to get some insight in it to a german and us relations beyond the diplomatic visit, we bring in former pentagon official, mike, i'm with michael. great to have you. and i give you a big day actually you are my 1st guest and over a year and a half to be here. and i'm, and i'm honored that it's you on a big day because you do have the, this is the 4th president, chancellor merkle has actually worked with. we talked about fair and went through this whole list of things you and i last about north through and i want to get to north with the reality of if anything can change. but is there actually anything realistic that can be still accomplished considering the chance or is expected to retire this fall and we still don't know her successor yet. that's correct. well, i think this, even though this is her swan song, i think from biden's standpoint, this meeting was good in order to reinforce the alliance with germany, of course,

be in the top country in the, in the nato alliance. and i think it was a reaffirmation that america is still back there and, and they're still going to be in the lead. and that germany is, is an integral to the, to that atlantic alliance iep just notwithstanding differences that do occur. having said that, germany is in a very funny place right now given where it needs to look to moscow and the, and the east for, for trade. because germany like all the countries in europe are fundamentally export in nations. and they need foreign trade. and because i think what we've discovered is that the u. s. sometimes is not the most reliable partner . and so consequently they're going to be looking out more and more. and of course you got china coming on very, very strongly, particularly with its belton road initiative. now we're already beginning to see

some e u countries looking to the, the belt and road like italy. this, the southern tier countries of the e u. and that could be problematic for the future of the you, for that matter if the economies don't improve. so they're, they're looking to china because it's economy is beginning to blossom much, but i think that's interesting about that. you know, right now you see by and the reason that you brought merkel here in germany is probably the most advanced of all the countries in relationships with both russia and china. 2 countries that obviously are having a little little stand off right now years in various ways. so do you feel like this is more like sort of a red rover game that bite is playing this week with having her here? like look, she's still friends with us to basically using her the diplomatic tool to get to rush to get to china. and it is going to be successful or the chinese in the russian is going to listen to what she says in regards to america. is that going to change anything? well, i think, i think from the bio standpoint, it's a reaffirmation of the closeness with,

with germany and for the purposes of the survival of the alliance. and his notions of, of, of working collaboratively with other countries. that's an important message and psychological image that he needs to project. and even though those countries indeed are going their own direction in many, in many ways. so he's basically doing a rear action here because things have changed since the trump administration, and then the pandemic. so and outlook from, from the european perspective have changed, and with, with north stream, he was good, an order i did bring that up. that's a big part of it. yeah, i find it very interesting that when president by him had his chance with actual president put himself kind of backed off in a lot of not, it was not as strong with it. according to his advice of what democrats would have liked to seen him, mainly cuz he knows i think the reality of the situation. now, what can he do, and is it really what the u. s. as pushing or that maybe you crane that behind why

they use their push in the us to try to shut this down as sort of what i call a herald hail mary, which i think realistically, you know, isn't going to work. it's a conflict because needs to work with ukraine and that's important to keep it out of moscow's hands. on the other hand, he also, the reality is that germany needs the foreign trade. it needs the energy and he has nothing to back it up with. or he doesn't have the that when g, the liquefied natural gas, that would, that could come in, germany doesn't even have the port facilities. and also it's expensive, but more expensive. that's the reality. plus germany needs trade with russia. notwithstanding the politics behind it, i was involved when the 1st pipeline was built back in the early early eighties and we launch all kinds of opposition to it through the department of defense. it failed, but it went through and now despite and actually think you can stop at any conversation,

it's going to be completed in august. i think this is all just for show you that this is saying, look, we pushed up against it. i didn't even buy a new back in a meeting with food and that it was never going to go, it just isn't going to go anywhere. he, in fact, decided not to sanction the job up and he pulled it back back. so the reality to go to it, he may, he made sanction some russian companies because that's the in thing with the, by the administration. but it won't have any effect as a practical matter. it's going through and that's the law short and that's the politicians speak to try to cover up your lack of action, which is probably good in this case. thanks for joining it. my pleasure. thank you figure president bye. and he just issued a new warning and amended a previously issued warning to u. s. companies who do business in hong kong. now, the message from the white house involves the ability for the chinese government to gain access to data, which is stored in hong kong. now other risks in creating a new law which allows beijing to impose sanctions. i don't individuals or entities

who discriminate against hiring chinese citizens. all of this comes with more sanction being opposed this week and responsive pro democracy protests in hong kong and the human rights abuses being going on to go over the move in a fit is actually justified. we are joined by roger balls, c o inter med resources who's actually wanted to come to american companies who does business in on kong. so you obviously listen to what the president is issuing is morning. thank you so much for joining me. thank you. ok, so roger, let's look at what president biden is warning us companies. he's one of them of risk associated with doing business in hong kong and mainland china. you've been doing business for over 20 years with chinese companies. what is your take on these concerns? well, i mean it's always been a concern since china was allowed into the w t o and with present bud and saying that it's almost like saying, hey, don't go in that swimming pool, you might get where everybody knows. it's always been a risk working with the chinese that whenever you go into china and if you bring

your product, the smartest thing to do is not bring your intellectual property and share it with them because it's, it's just, i have friends over there for that. i've had for 20 years, but it's just a matter of fact that more than likely it's gonna get stolen. and i think you're right you, i think american companies know that going in, but obviously know that is a successful place is a place that is needed in this global market that we live in. you know, present market president by specifically worn about china taking this data and technology from companies doing business at hong kong. you said that's just going in. is it a valid concern? more importantly, or is there anything that can actually be done by it? and what makes us different from any other company that is operating with it in a country around the world, the sort of to be expected possibly. can always be a possibility. right? it's always a possibility. but more so in china, china has made the living and they're known with businesses all around the world

and business people who work with if i, it's literally a gamble that you take in my 20 years of working with the chinese direct and going into hong kong depending on some of the companies that you work with, and hong kong you're, you're basically playing russian roulette and more than likely you're going to lose if you have something that's really high tech that's really unique because they will, it, like i said, i hate to be a negative about it, but it is, it is going to happen more than likely and it has happened. it's proof all around that. it has happened well, the past, the ministration, when they were the chinese wanted to put certain things into place, they would protect american companies. we're not successful in that. obviously, a global pandemic happened. but this all, remember before the pandemic, there was a lot of different things going on on congress, obviously major unrest in the street. they were looking for possibly their own, their own independence. the chinese, what impact have you seen from the chinese government timing?

it's grip on hong kong, post the pandemic economy and as things are starting to open up around businesses around the world, especially in hong kong. now that is something that it bothers me as an american, that the only one person that we saw really sounding the alarm about this was, was president trump. of course, you know, last year the chinese now keep this in mind. the chinese passed a law in hong kong, the nfl, the national security law, which basically said if you protest, if we think you're causing trouble, you can be arrested and the maximum penalty is life in prison. and i've seen a massive, massive change since that laws been in place of companies move in to, to other companies, countries around asia like singapore, singapore, as i work with a lot of people and singapore, now that i used to work with in hong kong, thailand, the philippines,

vietnam and it is made a big impact. it basically took a lot of it basically basically a punch in the face of the british when they handed over hong kong. and it was supposed to be 2 country to system one country policy. and they just stepped rado all over the chinese did. ok. so where do you see this guy? especially? i wanna talk about this new issue that american companies can be penalize sanctioned if they do not hire chinese workers that obviously can be made because or where do you see this going? whether hong kong is able to get into dependence, which seems highly unlikely at this point, or if they continue stand or under the stronghold of china. well, unfortunately i see it going in the direction that i never thought, if you asked me 10 years ago with, with, with china ever passed, such a law in hong kong,

i would have said probably not because the attraction of hong kong is it. it gives everyone that comes in hong kong. you don't have to have a visa to go into hong kong. it gives you the sense that you're doing business in europe or us. it's a global magnet, but the chinese it really close to, to stepping on their, their own cash cow by doing this. because if they start cracking down, enforcing american companies and other companies from other countries to abide by the chinese while the way they do in beijing or shanghai, then you're going to see you're going to see a lot of problems with companies coming there. it's going to get a reputation as basically china light, which would turn into china. and that's, that's not what you want to see. and hong kong, roger, we've always seen what's happened when they put more restrictions on business here in the u. s. imagine the same thing can happen abroad as well. thanks so much for

joining us and best wishes to you and your company. returning to the news of the visit between president biden and chancellor andrew angle, mark merkel, they were joined by fair friends who is just getting back in the white house. this has been a day, hasn't ran by schedule faren for him to schedule. at any point you're just like they just wrapped up the press conference between the 2 leaders. what is today been like for the chance for as her last visit to the white home? well, besides hot, humid and 94 degree different her, it's been a long day for her. it started this morning where she met with vice president common harris, where we were talking about this earlier and makeup where that's not a normal thing that you see don't normally see people meeting with the vice president 1st. but it was too late if she congratulated her for winning the vice presidential nomination and also are being the 1st and she's me being 1st female vice president. and then she went all the way down the road to the white house, where she has been in meetings all day with, with president bite. and they've been talking about the coven. 19 patents. they've

been talking about the north stream to russian gas pipeline. and what happens with that they've been talking about china because president biden has some remarks on that. and so does she and then also just kind of rekindling their relationship. because if you kind of remember her and former president donald trump, he had a lot of words for her when she was here. and it kinda didn't really end well. so biting and his people been saying that they've been excited to kind of rebuild that relationship with her. but again, it was kind of bittersweet with her with this being her last trip as the german chancellor. since she's leaving an october and bite and even telling her, you know, aside from everything like, i'm actually gonna miss you. i'm gonna miss seeing you at the summit because they just came back from the g 7 together where they were hanging out and rubbing elbows and stuff. so yeah, well i think it's really interesting and you're seeing a lot of pushback right now. i think not only from the german people, but the travel band present buyer was actually asked about this. the travel land is still in place that even for vaccinated individuals from the but specifically

germany, they cannot go come back and forth to america. yet here we have the chancellor, a lot of their bio was asked about this or as press conference, are you gonna let the band still did not give an answer? so i was gonna meet with some advisors and get back to you on that issue. that's a little, you know, you have to wonder right now we're having these leaders go back and forth. is it more rules for the and not for me because there are a lot of ties between germany and american families. i would like to see each other, and yet the chance, i guess she has to be head of the country in order to see your friends over in another country at this point. one that you're absolutely right where there is a little bit of the rules for the and not for we. you know, it was interesting because one of the biggest things is the cobra. 1900 patents. and for those that don't know, jeremy, and a lot of big pharmaceutical companies, they're, anglo merkel is very much against the lifting those patents so that they can help and distribute more vaccines throughout the world, especially those poor countries. whereas buying wants to lift them. so it is a little bit of, you know, in their, in their news, or are there a news conference, you know, anglo was applauding joe biden saying, ok,

you're going to be sending over, call me back. seems to other poor countries. you're all about lifting the patent, but then again, turns it around and it's, but we're not going to do it. you know, so it, again, it's the rules for, we, for the, you know, so that was, that was interesting to see that exchange. well, and that's one thing that, you know, when you look at these 2, they're talking, we have to remember, this is store last or they're still not a person that is cited to replace her when she checks and retires, you've got someone that's leading the party because it's a little different jeremy, but you don't actually have someone putting the leadership position. so you have to wonder fair when you are talking about those. if choose from cove it to climate change. can any policy actually be made when you don't actually have a direct source? i think it's odd, right? at least have 2 options. there's a, it's still a wide open field in germany. and i have one or 2 conversations going. if, if you have an idea that biden's going to take what maybe we should get to me things and i think it should be in pencil because it could be a race turn a few months. exactly very, and you've had a big day. thank you so much for your foster. i know you'll have the latest update on the news, the for extension,

and that's all the time we have for today. so like always we want to provide you the information 360 view so you can make your own opinion on the top issues of the day. we can continue this conversation to follow me on twitter at study and use lots of interesting things going on right now. over there, he has a team and vh, and for the show more dialogue about tv app for your apple or android device until next time. thanks for watching. ah, cubans experienced demonstrations for and against the hub on government. many in the us loud, we say something must be done. what that something is, is not entirely clear. the back is the u. s. has done many things against cuba for decades, namely the long standing tre embargo. maybe washington should stop trying to help the cuban people for a change a

. ready ready launch crunch l i class person. i mean, often the saw the blue book through the new phones before the the because it's always more you need to, he's going to contribute the usually so which in practice and what gone. yeah. cuz we knew from the moment that she needs to bring it up on the none of my new middle charts that exam on

the the, the, the, the now just in front of a bridge that was under construction at the time locals are telling me that, well, construction equipment that was all not bridge was swept away as if it was nothing freckled floods hit germany and belgium is more than a 100 dead. this entire buildings is swept away more than the size and people still missing. it looks like a bomb faceted like more diversity or service, rec, streets and looted stores. africa suffers another night of rights off the jailing of its former president. we speak to the woman who emit decalle stay through her child from a burning building to a crowd of vice.
