or being evasive and inconsistent about producing the phone records and found themselves in today about 60 years since the us is agent orange in vietnam or her beside which was proven to cause serious health issues among both locals and american soldiers. veteran tells us that con washington vitamin we really need people to sit down and take a look and say, hey, was, is going to do not only to the civilians populations not only to the enemy, but also to our own foods. i i the good evening, thanks for joining us on our team. the leader of the gender equality charity times up which supports the victims of sexual harassment as
12:02 pm
resigned to coming under fire for her ties to new york governor coma glen most. they think potential impeachment to new york's attorney general concluded the governor had sexually harass 11 women. get more than a story now from kelly morphine, a correspondent in new york. i can do we know about the activists that the center the scandal and the the charity that until recently she was in charge of while it's roberta caplin, she's a lawyer who is a co founder of the times up charity. this is a charity that raises money for victims of sexual harassment. and now she's under quite a bit of fire. she helps with their legal costs, et cetera. the time's up motto is actually no woman should be silenced regardless of how powerful their alleged abusers are. take
12:03 pm
a listen to some of their promotional material. you deserve more than just you are showing others that no one has the right to strip your voice, no matter how known and powerful they are. now, by roberto kaplan is the lawyer for the group. it's a small time activist organization, but it sells merchandise on its website. it's got slogans to support its mission. and if you look over the information, a new report from lateesha james, who is the new york state attorney general, indicates that that basically roberta kaplan, this lawyer from this organization, helping edit and put together a letter that was in support of new york state governor andrew while mon communicate the new york state governor andrew cuomo and new york attacking diminishing the allegations of the victims and attacking the victims, essentially,
12:04 pm
saying that that, that he was not, not, and surprisingly the revolution didn't go well with sexual assault victims who penned the letter calling on capital to go, they referred the letter as victim shaming. ah, and now we have caplin essentially stepping down from her leadership of the times of charity. now, this is what she said in her resignation letter. take a listen. i can't offer the degree of transparency about my firms matters now being demanded since that would be contrary to my responsibilities as a lawyer. now, ironically enough, kaplan is actually representing elizabeth jean carol, who is one of the accusers of donald trump, a writer who has accused donald trump of sexual assault and maybe made rape allegations. years ago. in the meantime, i andrew cuomo, the new york state governor is adamant that he has done nothing wrong,
12:05 pm
and he says that he is not going to step down another individual who is now in question. as a result of all of this is the leader of the human rights campaign. human rights campaign is an l g b t rights organization. and the president of it is alfonso david, who has worked in the the office of andrew cuomo for quite some time. now it is alleged that he helped to cover up some of the alligator allegations of sexual assault and sexual harassment from the new york state governor. and so that puts the human rights campaign into question as well. now at this point, a number of victims have come forward and we have commentators saying that this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to new york state governor andrew cuomo. take a listen means new york loving and i love me with so universally disliked held himself above the law and got away with bad behavior for so long. that when it came time for people to take him down,
12:06 pm
no one really came to his aid. so i think when this actually happened, i wasn't really surprised because everybody in politics kind of knows that the cuomo administration is the administration of a bully. this is a pattern that you often see in politics, that even though people act badly, they're actually rewarded and they're not held to the same standards of regular people. and this is why, you know, ordinary folks are so sick of politics and sick of the 2 party system. and they what other choices for leaders, you know, choices you know, where they can actually vote for the ordinary person that has the same concerns that they have somebody with a conscience and somebody that wants to do good for the 99 percent now the new york state governor is standing firm saying that he has done nothing wrong, however, the allegations are increasing the new report from the new york state. the attorney
12:07 pm
general is quite damning. and at this point, we have a situation where it is possible that the new york state governor could be impeached regarding these allegations. so quite a developing situation will be keeping you updated. yeah, thanks so much kaylee, but i can tell you though, the some news is just come in because under crow most holding a press conference as we speak very as any has just announced that he is quitting. think of his position as the new york state governor. it's a remarkable declaration, especially when you take into consideration that during this press conference, he has, as it would say, in america, been playing defense. he has denied all the accusations made against him in the new york attorney general's report. the claims of sexually harassing 11 women, he called them both. he did apologize to those 11 women saying that if he had truly offended them to
12:08 pm
d apologize deeply. and even gave example saying that he thought hug and putting his arm around a staff person, well taking a picture was just friendly, said she found it to be too forward. he also said that this report, and indeed this entire scandal was not about the truth. and he said in his opinion that this was about politics. but nonetheless, despite all of his denials slow, andrew cuomo has quit. he steps down from the new governor, more than any other administration because government should work and perform in other news, there's been a new development in the case of british teenager hurry done. he was killed 2 years ago in the k, in a road accident involving the wife of an alleged us intelligence officer, the done families, louis se answer foolish may have been on the phone. when her car plowed into harry's motorcycle, they add the relevant phone data has since disappeared. and the american has been
12:09 pm
invasive about whether she was on a call at the time of the collision, a spokesperson to the done family says they just want accountability. we've been trying to get to the bottom of the phone issue in the u. s. civil case for the last 3 months. and as our lawyers have put it the other side or being evasive and inconsistent about producing the phone records and the phone themselves for u. s. government are trying to shut doc inquiry down. the civil case in the united states may represent the only chance that this family will get of justice. it's never been about money, they want accountability there, and they want to get to the truth. in terms of the criminal sense. our position has always been you don't get to kill somebody or walk away our request to mrs. or kudos on the united states. government is that she simply. ready presents herself to the united kingdom justice system and goes through the process. the parents are pursuing every single avenue or justice, open to them unsecured,
12:10 pm
las who it is claimed as the wife of a cia officer was driving on the wrong side of the road when the crash occurred. she was charged with causing death by dangerous striving in the k. although she never denied her guilt, she fled back to the u. s. claiming diplomatic immunity. extradition request by the u. k, was denied july the u. k. prime minister raised the issue of a to me, joe biden, the latter express sympathy to the family and said the 2 countries were working together on the case later this month, harry dunn's parents will come face to face with schools for the 1st time in the courthouse. in virginia, as a civil claim they filed is heard, done, family spokesperson again says, progress is being made. thanks. the continued media coverage, we count many americans amongst us. as our friends, we supported these people for decades and diminished. one of their employees killed harry. their reaction was to not stop and think about this family and the
12:11 pm
consequences that they faced. but they thought about themselves. they recalled her, and the catastrophic miscalculation that they made was that nobody would find out about it and sent to your good sales your colleagues in the media. thank goodness you all came to this family support. this issue is never going to go away until the united states government realizes that there is a broken hearted breast family here who need help and needs support. we've reached out and all the rest to them numerous times continually get slapped in the face for doing so. they're entitled to accountability and they want justice both in the criminal sense and the civil sense. today most 60 years since the 1st use of agent orange by the us military and vietnam, the highly toxic herbicides to fairly and cause the suffering of hundreds of thousands of vietnamese people who been left with lasting effects from the indiscriminate use of the chemical you may find these images disturbing.
12:12 pm
the address about 5000000 people who vietnam who has incurable chronic diseases due to agent orange. they complete normal life, a fine job from the i was a simple soldier in bomb squad. my task was to clear, fast and demolish things. area was poisoned, we didn't know it back then. we just went on with our lives. we only realized we started having children that go along
12:13 pm
the same game. and also when people started having children as a warrant, they realized what orange pe needs in the time. either way from here, from those yet. now the parents were shocked and pride in the family immediately. the solar american soldiers is also still struggling with their injuries from exposure to agent orange, retard u. s. navy commander joe well spoke to us about the consequences, the chemical and the terms of veterans to get compensation. most significant portion we would say, currently we're looking at about a $110000.00 claims have been filed. some of those are the same person,
12:14 pm
multiple plans for the same person, but it's probable that we're, i would say 706070 percent of those folks had some problems. today there was cases what they call the ring per besides. and it was use primarily for d, for the ation agent orange was so name because there was an orange strike around the center of the barrel of the things like agent who had a blue stripe, edge and pink. thanks dr. and so on, so forth. as far as we know, edge and orange was the worst that some of the others are besides had the same chemical component, viagra, chemical, john, monsanto. he's one of the companies under fire. it was a major supplier of agent orange to the states during the vietnam war spot, facing a barrels of legal claims, both it and parent company by maintain. they can't be held responsible for how the military use their products on wells. again,
12:15 pm
believes that more should have been done to prevent the tragedy i think primarily the v. a system is over bureaucratic and they have difficulty processing them by even now, you know, we've had 2 and a half years since that court decision. they've only processed about 60 percent of the claims that are in file. we really need people to sit down and take a look at and say, hey, what is this going to do? not only to the civilians populations, not only to the army, but also to our own troops. if the worlds are united states had learned a lesson. and i certainly hope they do because, you know, we wind up spending a lot of time causing a lot more pain. and we have to, not, the war is easy, it's never easy. but it's, you know, we should do everything we can to minimize the effect on we all really, everybody was raging rushes east. emergency crews are taken to the skies in

12:17 pm
ah ah ah, the offers are raging and rushes to region with smoke, reportedly reaching so far as the north pole. the 1st time occurrence, japan joined a group of elbow firefighters in the region as they seated class to force it to rain. so we're now at the, you could consider national airport where we're going to watch the launch of the airplane and $26.00. the
12:18 pm
news, what this plane does is it goes up. 2 into the clouds, as long as there are clouds and shoot these projects out of chemicals that turn these regular clouds into precipitation clouds. because as a reminder, this year has been one of the dryers in this history. the last time the precipitation where this low was back in 1888. right now we're going to go talk to the airplane pilots. the engineers who will probably explain in more detail how this plane works. the running flight to where the fires are and on command by silver iodide into the clouds. depending on the clouds, we have to go around and sometimes we shoot canisters to the right hand side. sometimes the left, but we are trying to fill the clouds of silver iodide, which hopefully causes them to rain. though these are the actual cartridges that are going to be fired into the cloud. once again,
12:19 pm
make them re cloud room. if you just sit on these kind of stairs work sub 0 temperatures, silva, ideas most suitable for ice crystal at an altitude of more than 4200 meters. moisture is 6 to the crystals. they freeze and then fall in the form of rate. now on command, we will see the canister of the clouds. me. we're just talking to some promise and clouds of one of the 5. the flight was a success. the plane did its job and only a few hours after the silver iodide cartridges were deployed firefighters on the grounds started reporting rainfall, which tremendously aided their efforts you pretty soon was supposed to see my work,
12:20 pm
but firefighters. professional rescue workers and military personnel aren't the only ones battling these wildfires. countless volunteers from all over you cool, young and old, could not stand idly by and have been joining the fight to save their homeland who submitted but there is hypocritical. here the guys are all patriots. first of all, they want to save you. of course we conduct a briefing so that everything is safe. we send dozens of volunteers to help. every day. i decided to help myself protect the homeland or you know, isn't it scary much. well, it's a little scary of course, but you need to protect your homeland defense guns press secretary says of canister unless rely on its own armed forces to defend itself against the taliban. these on this movement to see more territory in the last 2 months than in the last 2 decades. this is their country, these are their, these are their military forces. these are their provincial capital,

their people to defend. meanwhile, britain's defense secretary criticize washington's agreement with the taliban. about the pull out of us forces the dispute to deal with strict last year and aims to keep terrorist groups like al qaeda out of the country. the deal was a rotten deal. it is flawed. it saddens me that's the deal picked apart a lot of what had been achieved. and if the dentist on over 20 years will probably be back in 10 or 20 years an extraordinary front. so i didn't deal basically to pull out on conditioning. i mean, the very name of the agreement signed in february 2020 was design, talked about an agreement between the islamic member to the kindest on which is not recognized by the united states and is known as taliban. i mean, that's an extraordinary thing. negotiated with a group of richard says he doesn't recognize richard indigenous called terrorist organizations. nothing was granted demanded of baton except the saw not to attack
12:22 pm
us troops as they withdraw. and the u. s. also agreed to release 5000 taliban prisoners unilaterally. native force who started to pull out the taliban, his move to fill the void. you can see on the terrace group now controls most of the country. the latest slope in fighting happening in the north where the militants of recently seized a 6 provincial capital in less than a week. now many excess of warning, the telephone could seem recap to the entire country with africa, military forces seemingly powerless to hold by that advance. over the course of 20 years, the war and ghana standler 47000 civilians dead almost 3000 soldiers from the u. s . and you have lost their lives fighting for american taxpayers. the wars costed estimates one trillion dollars for the u. k. the figure, 40000000000 pounds, profess of international political. san summerland imagery believes that the trip plant was premature. the reason recommend closing up to members that
12:23 pm
perhaps that until pull out was be made. you're, you're not, your states didn't think so as to what is going to happen in the event of the troops pull out the way you see them sort of taking overall, but it's up to us on up to down city, up to city. and on the latest had gone, we had for provincial capital fallen to the horses. so just imagine time before the take all except but i'm goblin. from nearby 80 years. the whole of these are pretty much imminent politicians, of course, on the government to reestablish a military presence in afghanistan to stop the taliban. goodness tags, far as cubes, he had said. berlin should make his troops available for another operation in the country hill. so as the us not to withdraw bill history repeat itself enough, gonna stand. we debate the question on our website. if you don't come

with us state department spokesperson, jen psyche is claim that she's been the victim of russia propaganda. she made the claims in an interview with vogue magazine saying she felt she was being picked up all during these briefings. off the, the russian state funded news networks launched a campaign to cast an airhead publishing a list of what he called jim perfect ease. most embarrassing fails, she would mock the broom as herself and teeth. the reporters, when they needled her during press briefings of the last sac, he said it was good preparation for later rolls and even became fun towards the end of her time at the state department has some footage of sack in action. you know, there are, there are, there are flow of gas, got a natural gas, i should say, that go through from western europe through pain crane to russia. and we are, i'm sorry you have any problem with the way he put it. i think i'd point you to them and i just stated that wouldn't be the way that we would. we would state it
12:25 pm
from here. i, we wouldn't, we wouldn't state it in those say, why says joe biden advice key of to take such action, nor was it just a coincidence here is simply restating. foreign minister allows us loop the claims from now, what is the response? i think we're ready to move on to a new question. methodology was also highly suspect, with reports, with carousel voting, pre marked valid. what's carousel? you know, the truth is, is i was reading that i'm not familiar with that term either. it may be that people weren't checking and i'll check and see what, what our team and you may know the story of how she lived on a russian vote for about 8 months when she was 23. and she learned how to perfect, perhaps certain words and a couple of languages. she, english, i was making a jo. are learning 1st or it's on a fishing. bo hugo is a. our position has not changed, but you don't have a position. you don't have a position that could, could change position, means taking a side or taking
12:26 pm
a stance or making a determination. and since you didn't do that, you do not by definition, have a position we have wrecked. i would disagree with you that you have a position on whether what happened in egypt was a, could we have determined that we do not need to make a difference? is that the same as not having a position? i will. i will let you part. okay. yourself pretty hostages live in 9th terrorists. those are the primary objectives of joint russian indian military drills in southern russia. the thanks helicopters, an infantry took part in the injured 2021 exercises the training, also included search operations and intelligence gathering and sharing. during tuesdays drill russian and indian soldiers games taking out an improvised terrorist hi depth americas proving have
12:27 pm
a growing up time. russian oil is now 2nd only to canada when it comes to supplying fuel to the us. imports of crude and refined petroleum products from russia to 23 percent in by amounting tools and 800000 barrels a day makes. it goes 3rd to canada and russia, although it accounts for less than 3 percent of us in polls. so america has been buying more russian all despite tensions with moscow in the energy sector. washington in regards versus north stream to gas pipeline, a threat to european energy security july germany and america rings to deal under which berlin will take action. if moscow tries to use the pipeline to apply political pressure or to commit aggressive acts against you, crime owes to what it only has of it's almost completely microsoft is now what i found,
12:28 pm
if we got to ultimately it's in contradiction to the use own energy security goals, i'm sure i'll have an opportunity to reiterate that, including the long united states, which requires us to sanction companies participating in the efforts to complete the pipeline to school counter. allison bruno believes that america is dependent on countries with which it has deep political tensions. washington may dislike all those things, but i think it dislikes high gasoline prices even more and right now, thanks to russia's strategic position, pricing position, because russia is not a member of opec. it's independent so it can choose its own range of price within various agreements. it has the most competitive pricing, a lot of titanium, which is used in making aircraft parts and which means defense equipment comes from
12:29 pm
russia as well. not to mention the fact that critical materials, like rare earth, mostly come from china. so in terms of resources, the united states is highly dependent on countries with which it has deep political tensions. and of course, it is a situation of its own making because by applying sanction, left, right and centre, its sports to sometimes contradict itself. okay, that's all for now. you're up to date. don't forget, you can check out lot more stories on our website to see dot com. mm. the aah! is your media a reflection of reality? in
