the big announcement coming out of new york where governor andrew cuomo announces he's quitting amid allegations of sexual harassment, thereby falling victim to the very me to correct can use that himself. he claims to support an, an, a blow to that cause at the head of the charity that supports the victims of sexual harassment. also quits down to pressure over her ties and chroma. today, martin, 60 years since the us 1st used agent orange in vietnam. there herbicide proven to cause serious health issues among both locals and american soldiers. veteran tells us time men are made we really need people to sit down and take a look at it and say, hey, where's is going to do not only to the civilians populations not only to the enemy,

but also to our own troops. and really obtained the pentagon documents shed light on how the u. s. department of defense pressures movie producers to portray the american military and a favorable light ah, protecting live direct from our studios in moscow. this is our future national. i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now, the new york governor and your quote mom has announced that he will step down in 14 days. this comes on the back of months of allegations of sexual harassment. he denies any wrong doing. cuomo has previously given impassioned speeches on respecting women and their personal space to sheep in or ridicule that pain. a woman suffers from the sexual attack,

is disgusted. i often will give them a grip of the arm, a pat on the face, a touch on the stomach, a slap on the back. it's my way of saying, i see you. i appreciate you. and i thank you to 2nd guess how a woman should acted after a sexual pattern is sexist and disgusted. i do hug and kiss people casually. women and men. i have done it all my life. it's who i've been, since i can remember. i mean, it's just insensitive. you don't understand the pain. you don't understand how the system tortures a person who wants to come forward. i have slept and called people

honey sweetheart. and darling, i meant it to be endearing. in the not so distant past, cuomo was going to women's marches and speaking up in support of the me to movement condemning sexual harassment, talking about the rights of women. but in 2020, towards the end of the year, that image started to change. we had one a come forward saying he had been sexually harassing her for years that another a step forward said he kissed her against her will. then someone else stepped forward and said he had inappropriately touched her on her, exposed, lower back, and then someone else came for reading, said he had asked her about her sex life and hinted that he was open to having sexual relations with somebody. it was at least 22 years old. and at this point we have 11 women who are speaking up and saying that andrew cuomo engaged in inappropriate behavior with them. now. andrew cuomo has resigned but insist that he

is innocent. he says he did nothing wrong. it would simply be impossible for him to continue governing in this atmosphere created by these allegations. and at this point, he is, he is stepping down within 2 weeks. he will no longer be the governor of new york. here's what he said. the situation and moment. i'm not about to fax, it's not about the truth. this is about politics. and our political system today is too often driven by the extreme twitter has become the public square for policy debate. now, cuomo says this is politically motivated and that the only evidence is a bunch of tweets on social media. however, while most supported this very same movement, the me to movement in similar situations, and many critics of me to have pointed out that all it takes in order to have

a politician, step down is allegations the word of accusers, as well as social media outrage. there's really no procedure. there is no way of determining guilt or innocence. the accusations, fly, and careers are destroyed. now, many have pointed out to me to seem to be primarily targeting, you know, republicans and conservatives, donald trump. but cuomo is a democrat, and his accusers are democrats and the new york state attorney general lateesha james, who issued the report that seems to have been the last straw, was also a democrat. it seems like the fallout from the new level of awareness spawned by the me to hash tag campaign on social media is continuing with andrew cuomo who has been governor of new york since 2011, being forced to resign legal and media analyst line all says commas resignation was only a matter of time. he perhaps gave one of the worst defences ever in the history

of defences. i mean, it was a man who was completely divorced from reality. it's like nothing you've ever seen . you could not have possibly handled this worse by the way. he has multiple criminal charges that are pending to the man who was responsible. so they say 415000 elderly people meeting their maker rather early. because he moved coven patients into nursing homes. why? you might ask some say to avoid making it look like donald trump was helping this had to happen. and today as we speak because of his inability to appreciate consequence, he's saying, well, i'm going to step down. not because i'm guilty, not because i did anything wrong that because any of these accuser correct. but for the sake of this state, for the sake of governance, i'll do the right thing and fall on my sword,

because that's the kind of magnanimous person i write the scandal surrounding cool . most harassment case became even bigger and after a group fighting sex abuse got involved and not on the side, you might expect the leader of the charity times up which supports victims of sexual harassment resigned after coming under fire for her ties to the new york governor i should, you know, hawkins joined my colleague niel harvey earlier in the studio to discuss the story . while robots are kaplan is a lawyer, and she's one of the co founding members of the times up shower seats, organization that defends and supports the victims of sexual harassment and sexual abuse. it's a charity that raises funds for their legal costs and their main slogan. the floating behind their mission is that no woman should be left behind. no woman should be left voiceless. they should be able to tell a story and get the support they need. no matter how powerful they will lead accuses up, you deserve more than just me. you are showing others at no one has the right

to strip your voice. no matter how known and powerful they are. when you can even buy merchandise, clothes and other items with that mission statement on limits, very well run organization that's no doubt, help many, many women in their dog as our so what was cat plans, involvement at all this? well, a report by the new will concerning general lateesha james mentions are multiple occasions saying she actually helped to review and draw the letter written by and require by which allegedly calls out attacks and diminishes the allegations put forth by his victims. the letter went on, published apparently not enough. people were willing to sign it to actually get behind the new governor, but nevertheless, her mention in the report has angered many victims and survivors of sexual abuse. they've written an open letter around 30 signatories, which have criticized cat plan for taking part in the writing of this letter,

which would describe what critics is victim shaving and castigating those victims who wanted to come forward and tell a story. unsurprisingly, it was viewed as untenable with her position as the head of a, one of the heads of a women's charity. this is what k plan said in her resignation statement. i can offer the degree of transparency about my firms matters now being demanded. since that would be contrary to my responsibilities as a lawyer, a couple and also the law that is representing elizabeth seen carroll lots of rights suing donald trump defamation with ross to rape obligations made many years ago. is that a whole lot of damage into the story? as well. yeah. one such organization, human rights campaign is reputation tarnished. it seems by involvement with the quote most scandal tell us more about that group. well, the human rights campaign is the most prominent l g b t. i was advocacy group in the united states. it defends, it promotes lobbies for minority rights across the whole country and its president

. so david found himself under fire as an internal investigation is launched into his role. he was also mentioned in the attorney general's report, allegedly releasing the victims personnel file to the governor's office when those allegations were made. now he's somebody else who said his behavior was entirely legitimate. he acted well within his ream it. there was nothing illegal untoward. and what he did, nevertheless, and in time of estimation has been lost. no doubt, a shadow will be cost over that lobbying group. today mark's 60 years since the 1st use of agent orange by the u. s. military in vietnam . the highly toxic herbicide and defiant cause the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people who have been left with lasting effects from the chemical. now, but of warning, you may find the following images disturbing. the

address about 5000000 people in vietnam who has a curable of chronic diseases due to agent or the complete normal life, a fine job the i was a simple soldier in bomb squad. my task was to clear fast and demolish things. area with poison. didn't know it back then we just went on with our lives. we only realized when we started having children that go along the

same game. and also when people started having choose random stuff as a warrant, they realized what orange pe needs to tell me when i hear from those yet now the parents were shocked and pride in the family immediately goes with the former american soldiers are also still struggling with their injuries from exposure to agent orange, retired u. s. navy commander and lawyer, john wells spoke to us about the consequences of the chemical and the attempts veterans to claim compensation. significant portion we would say, currently we're looking at about 110000 claims. have been filed, some of those are the same person, multiple plans for the same person. but it's probable that we're,

i would say 706070 percent of those folks. add some problems. today there was cases what they call the ring per besides. and it was use primarily for d, for the ation age and orange was so name because there is an orange strike around the center of the barrel of the things like agent blue, a blue stripe agent paying thank stripe and so on, so forth. as far as we know, edge and orange was the worst, but some of the others are besides had the same chemical component. viagra, chemical giant. monsanto is one of the companies under fire. it was a major supplier of agent orange during the vietnam war. despite fishing, a barrage of legal claims, both it and its parent company bear maintain that they cannot be held responsible for how the military use the product. and john wells again says to many people have suffered needlessly. 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 it and say, hey, what is this going to do? not only to the civilians populations not only to the enemy, but also to our own troops. if the worlds are united states that learned our 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 out there, or is it easy? it's never easy. but it's, you know, we should do everything we can to minimize the effect on. we don't really know everybody. the pentagon has been routinely bullying hollywood movie makers into portraying the u. s. military and

a favorable light. according to newly obtained dogs. it often demand script edits with one tv series even getting its wings clipped by the us top breast as artist consumption roscoe's comments propaganda on the silver screen. so the d o. d 's been waging war. the creative freedom is the script writers and directors. perhaps the most blatant case is the 200-1900 c. b s. trauma serious. the code about marine corps lawyers, which was canceled soon after release school pack, were headed to the as it turns out, the military saw the 1st effort i was before they went on air and was upset about his story line showing a marine turn congress magic. he's there, brutally execute, and then iraqi civilian, and another service man who killed a spanish citizen while drunk driving. marine corps leadership was apparently provided advance copies of several of the episodes and was displeased enough that they communicated what they saw a serious shortcomings in the depiction of the marines. cbs television has

indicated a desire to correct the problems in future episodes by accepting d. o. d assistance as a 1000 pentagons official web page. the department has a long standing relationship with hollywood. what it keeps quiet about is how many tradeoffs it costs to filming community. remember, homeland and american long run and espionage thriller the carrying, cobble for a week or 2. when, according to the files, the producers asked the us army to support the final season, filming, but initially were turned down by the military. after they saw the script on the entertainment office is currently in talks of the producers of homeland who have asked the modern army support, initial request is declined due to a storyline, that was not an accurate portrayal of soldiers. sure, in a responded with some significant edits to the problematic areas. army has agreed

to provide support as requested. show runners responded. would significant ad. it's what they were. we don't know why. what we do know is that how lens final season speculates on a full story that the russians funded talia about insurgence also plays up the consequence of the us withdrawal from against then. sounds like something that american army bosses might like. the pentagon doesn't always get its way though the same internal report suggests christopher no one a hot shot hollywood director, simply snubbed the military as they showed their appetite for a script at its continue discussions for support of christopher nolan thriller, merry go round working titled support request includes use of our spring tional, airframes, n g b. an air force of indicated interest in the military characterizations are read, written, emphasizing military mission request for support of chris nolan thriller, merry go round, working titled seemed have stopped likely causes that produced the director were reluctant to make changes needed to gain d o. d support, others like captain marvel,

co director of an a. bowden and wine flag had to cozy up to the defense department report leave. they had lunch with air force, top command and took part in a professional development session. whatever that means, before the film's release, no wonder a marvel movies are being branded as military propaganda in the media. more and more. the internal reports coverages, 2 years of pentagon, hollywood cooperation from 2017 to 2019. yet they cite scores of famous movies and tv shows that gains support or a green light from the military, including and former is the last night fast and furious. a tom cruises top, gone to the list, goes on. but those are the films that made it to the big screens, despite the it has a lot of stores like a documentary on guantanamo bay. trials have been rejected completely and never came to be there's been exactly one year since the sputnik v code vaccine was

registered in russia since then. almost 70 countries have adopted the job in the list continues to grow. ready but despite its proven track record and the ongoing threat of new more virulent corona viruses, strains splitting the ve continues to face serious headwinds. the job still hasn't been approved by the world health organization or european medicines agency. we asked australian epidemiologist, michael tool, why it's taking these organizations so long to give the vaccine,

the green light. it's not really clear why. for example, the world health organization hasn't provided emergency authorization. they have done for 2 of the chinese kuranda back and sign up on their policy. and that's why agreeing to, to speak to the story in general about 5, because i felt it was important that people in the west under do, which is a very good back thing produced in russia. it was developed by an excellent world renowned research institute access to vaccines. that's true or is not as good as it should be, given our ability to purchase them. i think the government acted too late to order enough vaccines. so we're in the situation of about 20 percent of people and strive to have been fully vaccinated. 40 percent of the c one using looked

melvin didn't look down the health and economic logic going in hard and then coming out of locked down pretty quickly. wildfires are raging and rushes. you could your region with smoke reportedly reaching as far as the north pole, 1st time a current. dimitri power joined a group of airborne firefighters in the region as they seated clouds to force 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 what this plane does is it goes up into the clouds as long as there are clouds and shoot these projects out for chemicals that turn these regular cloud into precipitation

clouds. because as a reminder, this year there has been one of the dryers in this region's 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 and on command fi. so iodide into the cloud for 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 silver iodide, which hopefully causes them to rain. so these are the actual cartridges that are going to be fired into the cloud. once again, make them re cloud on the few, just to do it on these kind of says work at sub 0 temperatures. so ideas most suitable

for ice. chris had an altitude of more than 4200 meters moisture, 6 to the crystal, they freeze and then fall in the form of raise the department. now on command, we will see the canister of the clouds in there, we're just talking to some promising 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 via our fighters on the ground. started reporting rainfall, which tremendously aided their efforts were still more but firefighters. professional rescue workers and military personnel aren't the only ones battling these wildfires. countless volunteers from all over you could hear young and old could not stand idly by and have been joining

the fight to save their homeland about the ship. i could hear the guys a rule patriots. first of all, they want to save you here. of course we conduct a briefing so that everything is safe. we send dozens of volunteers to help every day. but of all, if i decided to help myself protect the homeland road, you know, isn't it scary? well, it's a little scary, of course, but you need to protect your homeland. former us state department spokesperson jen, saki has claimed she has been the victim of russian propaganda. she made the claims during an interview to vogue magazine, saying she felt that she was being picked apart during news briefing. r t, the russian state funded news networks, launched a campaign to cast ahead publishing a list of what he called jen perfect. he's most embarrassing fails. she would monitor broome is herself and tease the asi reporters when they needled during

press briefings. nevertheless, saki said it was good preparation for later roles, and even became fun towards the end of her time at the state department. here is some footage of sucking action. you know, there are, there are, there are flows of gas, natural gas. i should say that go through from western europe through came crane to russia and we are, i'm sorry you have any problem with the way he put it. i think i point you to them and i just stated that wouldn't be the way that we would, but we would state it from here. i, we wouldn't, we wouldn't state it in those say, did my friends and joe biden advise you to take such action, nor was it just simply restating foreign minister allows us to the claims from what is it was fine. i think we're ready to move on to a new methodology. was also highly success, with reports of parents of voting, pre marked ballots with carousel. you know i this 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 lives 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's english. i was making a tell about her learning 1st or it's on a fishing boat. a 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 a position you're taking a saw or taking a stance or making a determination. and since you didn't do that, you do not by definition, have a position we had wrecked. i would disagree with you that you have a position on whether what happened in egypt, because 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 yourself. remember those days you're watching our international. i will be back and let's say 33 minutes with another full fresh look,

just bear with me. ah the ah the self governance is war is further and further away from the day to day reality

of people on planet earth in particular, america with its claim to have a government bind for the people. but if the fed is now completely controlled by wall street banks and the set is not completely controlled by the map, which is a super national organization that serve the global as the recall. then the idea of self sovereignty in america take another huge quantum leap. some of some version the after 10 years and office and governor cuomo is stepping down after almost a dozen different women came forward with the charges of sexual harassment. but it is the end of the prosecution of the once rumor to be a presidential candidate who will answer this as well as bring you all of the events on this very historic day, american politics and a story about

a call for help from one single mother facing eviction following the lifting of the moratorium and the hard warming response, there's only one problem. she was lying. but is it her fault or the network? who did not fact check the story before giving her the national spotlight? we will let you make up your own mind and what she spied on or not an enter say, a watchdog group has announced they will officially investigate the allegations that were made by tucker carlson and if any wrong doing occurred. but it is already a victory for the journalist. we're going to bring you the details and present over door mexico is presented one solution to the border crisis to vice president harris . we're going to give you the 360 view on his request to just reopen the border. i'm getting no hughes and you're watching news views right here on our to america. let's get started. ah,

we start the show with the developing story out of new york, where governor andrew cuomo has announced his resignation. tuesday. this, after a scathing report found he actually harassed nearly a dozen women tree. chavez joined us from new york. yeah, that announced that really sent shock waves throughout new york. many people did not anticipate the governor to resign, especially because he had been so adamant that he would not back down. but that'll change today. i think that given the circumstances, the best way i can help now is if i step aside and let the government get back to governing and therefore that's what i'll do. because i work for you and doing the right thing is doing the right thing for you because as we say it's not about me. it's.
