[000:00:00;00] ah, ah, no governor answered. cuomo, full foul of the very cause, he and the democratic party vocally supported the made to movement as you steps down amid a sex scandal. revealed pentagon document shed light on how the us department of defense pressure movie produces to portray the american military in a favorable light. i'm covering this to you. k prime minister barak johnson under fire again i'll shoot, emerge that nearly 800000 pounds was spent on paintings for downing street. it comes to me growing public and grow to pay fries for teachers and police, as well as a tiny pay rise offered to those codes in baffled n. h. s stuff. well,

the extra spending i would like them to make are in relation to that health service and particularly the pe clay, most of the chest has been desperate need of funding on the pay rise. ah hello. good afternoon for russia. say that just turn mid day here. and this 11th of august live from i will these h q. russia is kevin with the for the next 30 minutes. thanks for company to and we're going to start. so it was a breaking news. it's literally just a, it seems a u. k. citizen has been arrested in germany accused of spying for russia. next big story cropping up. and we think federal prosecutor se worked at the british embassy in berlin and his name tony as david s. he was arrested after a joint investigation partly by a german. i'm british authorities who play me past documents to russia for an

unknown amount of money. it seems, is a home and office researched on tuesdays we get more on this or will keep you updated. of course. next this fall after after tuesdays resignation of new york governor andrew cuomo, he quit after new york's attorney general concluded that the governor had sexually harassed 11 women. and now joe biden was being dragged over the coals for his previous support. for cuomo, your governor new york, on one hell of a job, i think he's sort of a goal standard for the hell of a job. and i mean both on everything from access to voting, to infrastructure, to whole range of things. that's why it's so sad. didn't really say to sexually harassing the question is, did he do a good job of infrastructure? i was the question he did outside was personally. okay. separate. you know, and i was asked

a specific question. 100 chrome was been under 5 for me to move on the very cause he and his fellow democrats. but cuomo had previously given him passion, speeches about respecting women and their personal space to sheep in for ridicule. the 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 ever active 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. and 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 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 allegation. the situation in 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.

there was a new phenomenon and all of this happening today, lawsuits involving sexual dalliance is occur when somebody denies them. so then you follow up with defamation suits, you don't so anymore for what they did you. so for them denying what they did. so there are, he has said some pretty interesting things as far as the various women who have come forward and said he touched me here and did this. so this is not in any way done there. there this is, i hate to say it's epstein, leon black fever. i mean this is, this is what we're used to in our zeitgeist. 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, as damaging to the democratic party. and the, and the democratic party mil, you're the democrats, weaponized the me to movement. they used to devastating effect against red cavanaugh. it was a very powerful weapon that was brought to bear. and now it's been brought to bear on one of their own is acutely embarrassing to have cuomo, who was a cheerleader for me to movement down to fall the him to the movement. and i think these, these are, these accusations are backfiring. people have got to be very careful if for bring

in charges like this again. and this whole episode leaves a very bad taste in everybody's mouth. the scandal surrounding chromos harassment case became even bigger after a group fighting sex abuse got involved and not on the side. you might expect the leader of the times up. charity is now resigned and after coming on to 5 for her ties to the new government, controversy is organization actually supports victims of sexual harassment. you deserve more than just ah, you are showing others that no one has the right to strip your voice. no matter how known and powerful they are, roberta capitol and has been legally assisting andrew cuomo to defend against the abuse allegations in the same she also helped by attacking and diminishing the claims of one of the most victims. she later explained. indeed, the 2 jobs are incompatible with each other. 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. vote a captain's mentioned and that reports left sexual assault victims furious. they wrote an open letter in which they called for her to resign from the times board, which she subsequently did. one form a candidate for new york city council told us kaplan shouldn't have been a director in the 1st place. you can't be for a cause and work against because it makes you a hypocrite and definitely undermines your credibility as an activist. so not only is it bad for you personally, it's bad for the group that you were purporting to lead. and we know when you had this kind of scandal you should resign, which is what roberta kaplan did, but i would argue that he should not have been there in the 1st place because the mission of me to was not her priority. protecting governor cuomo was and you know,

there in the lives the problem on next story for years he's appends again. it has been routinely bullying hollywood movie makers into betraying the us military and a favorable light according to newly obtained documents. it also often demands script at it with one tv series, even getting its wings clipped by the us top brass constantino's golf reports propaganda on the silver screen. so the d o. d 's been waging war. the creative freedom is scrape writers and directors. perhaps the most blatant case is the 200-1900 c b s trauma serious decode about marine corps lawyers, which was canceled soon after elise got back. we're headed towards the as it turns out, the military saw the 1st after i was before they went on air and was upset about his story line showing a marine turned congress magic. he's the 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 sore serious shortcomings in the depiction of the marines. cbs television has indicated a desire to correct the problems in future episodes by accepting deer de assistance as a 1000 pentagon's official web page. the department has a long standing relationship with hollywood. what it keeps quiet about is how many tradeoffs had cost to filming community. remember, homeland an american long run, an espionage thriller, the carrion 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, tommy entertainment office is currently in talk of the producers of homeland who've asked the modern army support initial request was declined due to a storyline that was not an accurate portrayal of soldiers. sure. and responded

with some significant edits to the problematic areas. army has agreed to provide support as requested. show runners responded with significant ad. it's what they were. we don't know why. what we do know is that how one's final season speculates on a full story that the russians funded talia about insurgents and also plays off the consequence of the us withdrawal from again, it's 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 continued discussion for supportive chris nolan thriller. merry go round working title support requested includes use of all spray and clinic f frames and g p. an air force of indicated interest. if military characterizations are rewritten, emphasizing military mission request for support of chris snowden. thriller, merry go round working title. seemed to have stopped likely causes that produce

a direct we're reluctant to make changes needed to gain d o d support. others like captain marvel co director as 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 films release, one of the 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 gain support or a green light from the military, including transformers to 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, as a lot of stories like a documentary on the guantanamo bay trials have been rejected completely. and never

came to be forrest johnson's finding himself in the finally line again. after dining streets spent nearly 800000 pounds on to painting, said we displayed in the problem. this is official london residence. the lavish purchase is coming off to the u. k. government approved the 20 pound the we cut to the universal credit benefit system, which was intended to support low income families during the pandemic. and also on top of a pe freeze for teachers and police officers and the pay right. 23 percent for those covert and battled health care workers, the opposition out of field day, the prime minister spending priorities. it's always about himself. as this government cuts universal credit and freezes, frontline nurse police pay. johnson has found more money to treat himself again, and it is in desperate need of funding on the pay rise in order to be able

to recruit and retain staff and catch up with the enormous backlog of work. so i, i think the issue about the paintings is something covered irrelevant. my understanding is it's largely paid for through public money rather than donors. as the government has suggested, that government is going back down stairs the route. whereas the beginning of the coven, we were able to see that when money was needed, it could be found. in fact, the treasury meant the came up with a loss of money and its initial time efforts to help the n h s. response of the crisis. and now it wants to turn the top off again. it's not the 1st time that the british pm's find themselves in trouble for his expensive home improvements. early this year, phase questions over how pricey downing street renovation were paid for. but then the investigation concluded that he could quote, unwisely,

but did not break the ministerial code. this time to purchase was justified, as the paintings in question were paid for with a dedicated fund. the government to art collection helps to promote the creativity of british art and culture. it acquired new works after consulting and securing the approval of an independent expert panel. and the majority of funding for acquisitions comes from philanthropic sources, not taxpayers, money from a national health service. trust chairman, the roy lily told us that the timing of this latest scandal, though, couldn't have been worse. i think is a very poor decision on this occasion. funding, there are 2 reasons why bad judgment. firstly, we've just recently gone through a pay a pay round without nursing staff where the government have been pretty mean in the way that they've approached it. and secondly, of course is the overall economic situation. so whether or not these are good

paintings and whether or not that good value for money is not as important as what does it look like? what do people think when they see the economy is not very good. we've just denied frontline and stuff. a decent pay rise and the prime ministers hanging to expensive paintings in the sitting room. number 10, a chest looks bad. the news, the day we're cross the taliban. the snow seized 8 provincial capitals and water enough ghana, stan, people the know facing it. another crisis with widespread poverty feeling of us black market in drugs, weapons and even now human organs. and you, shocking documentary that we've put together as revealed have in some cases the selling the kidneys to help their families survive. the toughest of times the programs on air various times throughout the day. and you'll see it. and just by and i was time to remind you closer to the time, but here are some of the scenes in it and they are upsetting the damage i understand. and then i need to talk to you or you know,

i can better understand. so i may go ahead and come on monday as i'm calling to say, cuz i'm in london saturday. my shut token. got me on what time officially h navy kind of a little bit more. i don't even know if a job went on with my

little boy until i get a new way to to me. i think it's a game. maybe i can put a distributed question for you, which one you want to use and wonderful day join me. i was i got to get how do you think you put up with me going to be as long today? i want to tell you what you need and it is that quote that we should really a risk, isn't it? we've got like coming up in the next hour, but let me tell you. but what we got coming up is break here from moscow,

correspondent tagging along them with an airborne fire fighting team rushes far east is in the group. the huge wildfires mode so seems all world in various places is up in a blazing mon disney, but we're talking about russia, what's happening for just 90 seconds from the driven by a dreamer shaped by those in me dares

thing. we dare to ask what we got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy. even plantation let it be an arms race is often very dramatic. development only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very political time. time to sit down and talk me the news. ah ha, go and so as we're saying, go into that break. wildfires no raging and rushes, you cootie a region in the far east of the country. thick smoke is covered nearby cities reportedly reached as far as the north pole. for the 1st time, volunteers firefighters have machinery and air born forces to are all involved

market in trying to distinguish the flames. it's heavy, exhausting work as outside. dimitri poke found out. when he joined one helicopter cru heading to the front line. so all about sick, my 1st helicopter right? can be for a better reason. we're going to take a look over the fires of the region, just north of the capital. of course, we're going to see how about the situation because right now the fires are threatening several villages. we will see just how bad it is and deliver supplies to the people on the ground fighting it and well take off. this isn't scary at all . on the way to the village, the views were stunning, but the closer we got to the village day became somewhat terrifying. first,

it's clear skies in an endless horizon. and just moments later, it's a wall of smoke. soon as we land, we see a whole bunch of heavy machinery. mr. defense has a lot of military equipment, vehicles and trucks in everything to this region because it's the most under threat right now from the flyers. armored personnel carriers, a couple of heavy duty diggers and several trucks. their purpose to create the mineralized zone, which the fire will not be able to pass, but no less important are the human reinforcements, fearless, volunteers, and professional firefighters. they too are getting ready to head out to battle the fires. we, on the other hand are moving on. we travel through a nearby field where you trucks full of firefighters, are having difficulties getting through the dense forest fires. so we lend them, are a helicopter right now, and taking all the stuff out of all these firefighters that have been deployed here to help with the efforts. by the way,

these are 40 firefighters that have traveled all the way from the other side of russia. from cordelia morland's car, hunger. they who have battled wildfires in their home regions this summer. but now that they have finished the job at home, they've traveled to korea to aid their fellow colleagues. and there they go to the front line of the seemingly endless battle. we came from more money to help the regions. we will work to extinguish the fires. we will do everything we can when we go back to your goods and on the way we are once again reminded of just how chaotic situation is with the several more fires and even a new one apparently as we circle around it and the fire washers note as location on their maps, all in all, not bad for my 1st helicopter flight. you have a water relentless task, a will cause rush is not the only country putting far wildfires as you know. right now, volunteers and firefighters in greece are also still fighting with slaves to go drove

foot just to show you just in the r t new center is showing the damage caused in recent days, and what left afterwards. thousands of people have been evacuated from the region. the greek pm's apologize saying they did everything humanly possible, but it wasn't enough. he also described the situation that's a natural disaster of unprecedented proportions. almost 600 while farther burning across the country. several european states helping greece to best they can battle those flames. my shift, i'm whenever q ation order was sent to move or should we do just gets up and go. we can't. if we don't save our houses, he will, they're doing nothing. the day is the 4th day and there are no aircraft yesterday. they only carried out to will to draw that yet the local people saved the place to rest with little children left of course, but we are not leaving. even if the fire reaches to see, we will not leave our village, we will stay for as long as we can and do whatever we can do. we're going to stay

here and try to save our place. we need to stay strong for our children. to big anniversary actually it's a year to the day since the split league ve covert vaccine was registered here in russia one long year. it's been a since that almost 70 countries have adopted the job and the list continues to grow. ah ah. ready but despite is proven track record and the ongoing sort of new more virulent corona virus strains spoke the continues to face problems getting accepted. the job still

hasn't been approved by the world health organization, all the european medicines agency. we are still struggling to be able to use michael tool and why it's taking these organizations so long to give the vaccine the green light. it's not particularly 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. but because i felt it was important that people in the west i'm to do it. that is a very good next thing produced in russia. it was developed by an excellent world redound 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 that were in the situation of only about 20 percent of people and i have been fully explanation. 40 percent of the c one looked melvin's in lockdown. both health and economic logic going in hard. and then coming out of lots and i'm pretty quick for that last big candidate to so that's it. so far you'll find so much more from us about t dot com or whenever social media to say as well, please. but for now, reporting for moscow, kevin, one of the team saying thank you for watching. i'm wherever you choose to run the world. have a great day the ah, the ah,

ah. back to god. oh, there you go back. oh, heck, no. refrigeration came. well look at the rest, the 7 years bill it separately or i tried to record the other stuff and need to

talk to someone will actually be able to pay more than that for me when i'm in a position that we need to make on it for me, i don't want to just about what i was looking for the day join me, but it was easy. i got to know how to choose. you can put an office me quite a bit as belong to the one to tell you the other hand, why would you need that? because that should

the who's with me. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered. i'm peter lavelle . we all see it and we all feel it. the significant increase of inflation has many economists concerned and consumers, needless to say, terrified why the sudden increase in prices, if it's temporary, and what can be done to tame this cruelest form of taxation on working people. the, the cross sucking increasing inflation. i'm joined by my guess peter ship and weston. he is the host of the peter ship show podcast in great barrington. we have pete earl, he's an economist at the american institute for economic research. and here in moscow

we have sophia done, yes, she is
