went over there, i was walking one of the gods. this is why you where again we stay on nothing. i take it off it. i think the people need to take responsibility in their own and be prepared if those kinds of weapons were less available. we wouldn't have a lot of the shootings and we certainly wouldn't have the number of deaths tonight to the exclusive interview with our teeth rushes for a minute to says moscow will react to flagrant attempt by berlin to block our teas . new german language channel after europe's leading satellite provider removed it said the request of the countries media regulated children with we cannot tolerate this any longer. and we believe if this unacceptable situation will go on, we will have to respond with caleb bravo for questions. the impartiality of the ongoing trial into the downing a flight made 17 and east of ukraine,

and 2014 prosecutors demanding life sentences for the suspects, including 3 russian nationals and the dispute rages within the u. s. to a critic party off to one of its own senators, effectively torpedo jo, biden's lavish infrastructure bill and the senate. coming up, we look at white filling of crisis of confidence among democrats. ah, live from out international moscow. welcome to our will these at midnight with me? kevin owen. first this early thursday morning, the russian foreign minister, sir gay love, rob has given our t exclusive interview in which he touched upon a range of key world issues. ah. and today, one of the main points was lover of disgust was the removal of our german language channel r t d,

from europe's main satellite network provider. it happened just moments before the interview. the moved came at the request of germany's media regulator. miss oliver of slammed the action against the channel, which had only begun broadcasting last week, and was that it was unacceptable behavior on the part of berlin, and that there would be consequences on oscar additional. just the was nicole. we have been tempted to respond similarly, but until recent times we were convinced that we do not want to follow the same path and tried to put pressure on media to follow suit with our western partners. but you know the same thing with russian security. we cannot tolerate this any longer, and we believe if this unacceptable situation will go on, we'll have to respond to it. it's monster. it's not a monster. in an interview with rushes and t. v. network crammed in spokesperson to me to pascall said, berlin's behavior was part of a disturbing pattern. bocurel of conservatives to muslim for a massive view brought the blocking of the whole network in europe contradicts european spirit and all norms and principles of the organization for security and

cooperation in europe. but unfortunately, neither you nor the u. s. cares about such things the day, and they do what they want. we have a cowboy reality now. and in such circumstances, russia should act confidently, neatly and persistently, not to shoot ourselves in the leg so to say, but to let our opponents know that we totally disagree with such actions and will not leave them without consequences. for some context, then are cds phase to barrows, of resistance and allegation, since it launched last thursday. it's accused of not having the necessary documentation to broadcast in germany, but our t management says it's license was obtained in accordance with all european laws and regulations. further, the channel was also taken of youtube, the very day it launched. technically there's no connection between that and the german t v broadcast dispute. even during the launch, an official for a german media watchdog suggested they would take action against the channel. this is our t statements and i in response to the latest news i to day,

the german regulator forced european settlers service util, set 9 to remove the broadcast of our new wasco bays, german language channel, artie deutsch from its platform. it is an appropriate for the german regulator, m a b b to overreach, and ignore the european convention or trans frontier television under which it is subject, thereby forcing util sat to remove assay deutsch from the carrier solely due to the unsubstantiated and factually flawed claims of the german regulator, we believe this amounts to legal pressure and our confident this action will be redressed by the courts. we will be seeking all possible remedies against the german regulator and our audience can continue to access our content across multiple platforms and online. there isn't it happening is because nobody wants competition and we obviously are getting more and more popular. and the online

service that we had in germany was phenomenal. a successful i should say. and naturally, no one likes competition. and that's fair for me. we all want to compete, well, trying to compete, trying to win our orders. the problem is that we want to do it perfectly legally. and wet, absolutely, sure. earn. we consulted with our international lawyers that everything we have done was exactly warning to the existing laws and regulations. each new channel is getting more and more resistance, which is almost like getting a metal. because that means we are getting more and more successful. they see, see us as more and more of a competition. of course, they claim something which is totally ridiculous that this is not being produced here in moscow. but you know, that's been user room is right across across the corridor. you know, the newsroom is here in the studios here. and the broadcasting facilities care and german regulator is trying to persuade us this is all fictitious. we are available

through many other options. i don't want to name them all, but there are, there was a number of options for people who want to know the alternative news. and sometimes what we believe is a more accurate version of many events and then what they get from the german mainstream media. we will fight legally, and i'm quite sure that we will get the possibility to bring our version of events, which is 2, legitimate to which we are totally entitled to our viewers in germany, as well as in all other countries as well as trotting the plan that we've used was not a plan a unfortunately we are not able to use the plan a that we use the plan be that we didn't to work to. and we are going to dispute that in a court of law with another country. so now we're going to plan d and plan e. we have many of them,

but one thing is certain people who want to know the different side and want to know the events of the truth that is not being brought by some mainstream german media. have the possibility to do that to do that, and we'll try to help them as much as we can. like cynical of our t chief executive earlier apart from ortiz, german channel being cut off from the european satellite network, much attention was also devoted to the escalating tensions between russia and nato . mister lover of says moscow's lost its trust in the west. thus that he would earn among the lily they've lied to us on a regular basis from oral pledges to even political obligations enshrined in the russia, nato political act. so this time, as president putin said, we want to have legally binding guarantees. at the same time, we understand that the west can violate such guarantees as well. if it wants to shoot guns, it was a very in depth interview. i'm here in the very studio were to play, so beats and a lot reduce format. mr. arbor of cover

a real her spectrum of salient in the national topics of the day, from the presence of foreign troops, u. s. troops in syria, to the ongoing nuclear negotiations in iran at the main focal point. now, as we said, was that escalation, the ongoing crisis on the roches chrome border on that's been very much a focal point of much west to media. those allegations of thousands of russian troops massing on the ukraine border allegations leveled moscow that this is in preparation for some sort of intervention or conflict with miss lover off was very clear to say that this is not something that moscow that seeks or wants so that russia moscow wants these issues to be resolved through daughter gone through the strengthening all wins national institutions such as the un and other organizations . and he really warned against the danger, although return or ra, returning towards a might, is right balance of power in the world, insisting that dialogue is key and not just dollars,

but also putting any sort of agreements, any sort of dialogues in writing, in some sort of legal framework and that was something missed the level of focus on very much. and when we touched upon the expansion of nato eastwood's, mr. lover of mentioned that to russia, moscow does see the presence of nato military nato military. the expansion went to eastwards as a threat to its security, and the west has to understand that that is the topic of concern for russia and on a compromise has to be reached if the relation is to happen. but it was it a silly global celeste to prove the heads of states and governments of clearly states that no participants of the o s. c, e should insure the security by damaging security of others. so when yen stalsen berg made this high brow and arrogant statement that no one can breach the principle, the washington treaty in accordance with which doors are open for any candidate wishing to accede to nato, we can say that we are not party to this organization. we have not signed this treaty, but we have signed

a broader pan regional euro atlantic documents that includes the principle of indivisible security. and if you install some burg, believe the native members can ignore this principle that is enshrined in their documents, adopt the highest level, then perhaps it is indeed time for him to get a different job because he does not perform his functions very well. and he called for the formalization within the legal framework to prevent that expanse in east woods. and that a recent discussions had been actually quite positive that washington had listened to moscow's concerns and at least a dialogue out what's happening. so at least that's something positive to take away from these tensions which have been rising. over the last see weeks prosecutors in the netherlands have ended their arguments. in the case of malaysian airlines flight image 17, down to the east and ukraine in 2014 killing all 298 aboard their demanding life sentences for the for suspects including 3 russian nationals, rushes foreign ministers once again voiced moscow's concerns about bias in the investigation just moved numer to seduce

a flood system were closely following the case because it's about russian citizens who are the defendants. at this stage of the trial, we're surely can see the attempt to create an impression that it's a problem of the state rather than the criminal case. that is completely unacceptable. it should be considered a criminal process, was 7 and a half years on after a trial that has seeped with politics for its duration, prosecutors have arrived at their version of events. they have now put forward charges against the full suspects that they believe are responsible. 3 of them, russian citizens, one of them are ukranian citizen. only one of them was represented in court by the way, by, by louis. but this is, this is a trial that had an agenda from the onset. and this is something that multiple states have said including malaysia, which are for years has said that that they were excluded from the trial because they weren't on board with the agenda. they said this early on the, there was

a very, very clear, very clear angle to the investigation to the trial. and that was to, to blame, rush to shove all responsibility on russia. and now they were arrived at the conclusion that these 4 suspects were responsible for, shooting down and made 17, with a book in missile that was supplied from abroad. they, for it, we denied to the suspects, are convicted each individual, even a joint shooting down of an aircraft which caused the death and murder of o $298.00 people on board to life in prison. even if the suspects did not intend the consequences of their actions, those consequences still count for their sentencing kitchena. how they arrived. this conclusion is a story in that of itself. because there has been a lot of outrage about some of the evidence that they have taken taken on board. look, they've, they included from the onset ukraine,

was included in investigation and vital to the joint investigative team. despite the fact that ukraine itself was at, at the time, a suspect, and a large part of the case is built on testimony from ukraine, which includes audio recordings provided by you create in secret services, audio recordings of the alleged suspects. apparently talking about the jet. again, from the onset they was suspected of being manipulated. the recordings, multiple forensic experts came out to say the same thing that they were doctor. they were edited and words were put in place and moved, moved around. but again, ukraine's evidence was taken on board while a slew of evidence for provided from her from other sources wasn't. again, the case was built much in testimony from social media post. the witnesses were, were kept secret, their identities anonymous. there was also the fact that for years now,

the quote that j i t joint investigative team a vos, the united states that provides an absolutely crucial piece of evidence. and that is satellite footage for, from the area from the day. the incident took place to make sure that there was that there was this book massage launcher on site. united states for years now has refused multiple times to provide those satellite shots are full for the investigation. it was also an incident in which dutch m. p. 's themselves will f, flabbergasted, after reading a report that says ukraine couldn't have known, there was a threat to civilian aircraft in the area, despite the fact that just days earlier, ukrainian military play was shot down. the, the last of about a dozen in the area. i as hides that were, that were dangerous for civilian aircraft. so passenger jet. and these, combined with all the evidence that was rejected by the, by the prosecutors,

has led many to believe that indeed there was bias, a groom nicholas through no large number of discrepancies, impartial, judicial process, rule violations, examination of witness bridges. witnesses classified including the one you could bring facts, ignored by the investigation to light. the fact that the defense attorneys request has been rejected without any explanation says a lot. they also ignored the amazon takes parents which proved that investigation statement on the mistletoe abuse is unfounded. russian ministry of defense provided the documents confirming that the missile was produced in 1986 given to one of the ukrainian military units and stayed there until it was used. all this information was ignored. and again, despite over controversy all over the missing details about the, the me sal itself where the launcher was, who can control the launcher at the time whether it was on the ukrainian side,

on the, on the rebels side. all of those questions remain well classified. the answers to those questions remained remain classified for now. we don't know a lot about the decision making process in the prosecution. nevertheless, the defense is due to speak in march and we are waiting for a verdict towards the end of next year. our senior correspond there still to come to night. denazi's was news of midnight fall out within the earth, democratic party after one of its own senators torpedoes, your bodies, massive infrastructure bill. cabinet with your tele, by that story more often break blue, blue b o, o, o,

o n a . so i move when i was shooting wrong, when i just don't move any new world yet to see how this thing becomes the advocate and engagement. it was the trail when so many find themselves world support. we choose to look for common ground.

oh, in fighting is broken. i within the u. s. democratic party up to one of its own senators, tip the balance in the senate by refusing to vote in favor of jo biden's near to trillion dollar bill bag. better bill. your man should immediately drew fury from the white house, says move, it seems a fatal blow to the president's flagship plan, although apparently not by biden himself. do you believe her mentioned he'd worked for you and have a better legislation? not some people think. maybe i'm not an irish present, whole grudge for i want to get things done. i still think it was possible and can you pro back better, john? although biden seemed on phase they did pay the way for fir, the rift in american politics for the democratic party, now facing a crisis of confidence. saskia taylor reports biden promise to build back better than long time friend, joe munch and went to the fox news and blew up the president's campaign promises.

and i cannot vote to continue with this piece of legislation. i just can't i've tried everything humanly possible. i can't get there. you're done. this is, this is a no, this is a no. and with it it seems his whole party. we all knew that cinder mentioned couldn't be trusted. you know, the, the excuses that he just made, i think, are complete. and let bristle america explain to the people of west virginia why he doesn't have the guts to say about the powerful special ed. what senator mentioned did yesterday represents such an egregious breach of the trust of the president. and it's also, you know, this is exactly why it's an outcome that we had warned about. we have been saying this 4 weeks that this would happen. and we took the hit. our leadership needs to step up. now politics and finger pointing, go hand in hand, nothing new, right?

well, not quite because want it's tradition for the reds and the blues to spit to each other across the aisle. here, if the democrats spitting at each other and it didn't even take that much, just one man one veto, and it all came down. what made munchkins, treachery, aldermore? unforgivable was that he was biden's body. a friendly face will say that from the president's viewpoint and i saw him this morning, he's worked with senator mansion over the course of decades. they share fundamental values. they're long time friends that has not changed. that's how anything biden's policy is apparently become long time friends, decades of shad fontes and mansion still broke rank. even though p. the loyalist, even though billed back, battle was biden's baby. and even though he knows that without the bell, the mid tubs may be a blood off. if we could get the build back better plan past, democrats will have a strong possibility of lease, keeping the senate. it's tough,

it's a tough reality. in today's america where it's party above all mansions, vito spells trouble for bite and i really couldn't have come i was time yes. chemist on withdrawal on the contact ring through the us. hi, petra price says a supply chain still in crisis record inflation on a historically low popularity rating of just 41 percent. at a time i did, you need your people move and that's why you need a rallying cry. what does bite and have a party and boiled and fighting has signature legislation in the dot, and now defecting democrats with rumors that is just the tip of the iceberg member, we had an individual reregister from democrat republican and i think there are a few other democrats out there that are thinking about it, why not? because they've changed, but the party has changed with what appears to be a crisis of confidence in this change party. the last thing the democrats can

afford is a crisis of confidence in the president himself, but looks like that's exactly what they've got. so the real president, it is country, joe mentioned joe biden matter wife for the charlemagne. i real job and i can't. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's joe biden, which quite frankly, probably came a news to bide in himself. how can the side, of course, president harris is a proud howard. okay, but kidding aside, the democrats got handed the keys to success. they took over from the country's most divisive president. they took control of the house and the senate, and yet here, just 11 months on their in disarray with the president probably looking on and thinking that maybe instead of building back better, it might be worth building back a party that seems to have lost its way as you know, it is split, anna is growing, spring like dale is growing amongst both part is he and america is the breakup

within a democrat pot. and in b r leadership law president by the house hasn't made it in a battle. they are running a freight, you know the elections coming up to mit, turning 2022 and therefore they may lose that and is one right thing. it shows a lot of hypocrites within the democratic party. i think the dom crash. no, they are in for fight a flight of their lives. they have all been so ralph crab, a cane, so radical. did. they all move far away from the main stream of america. what american people want, and they know it's going to be a fight for their life. they only all white house and they own the congress and defend it. and they have been unable to get to be back better program to government, get it class because it actually bankruptcy for america as what a stance. well, we'll talk have america, the irreplaceable nation of the world, states that so washington's top diplomats is characterized the usa dealing somewhat

of a blow to those he'd hoped to bud, administration might take a bold, cooperative, global approach these days. secretary, state antony playing can added that. chaos would ensue if the white has stopped what he called leading the world american engagement. american leadership matters. the world doesn't organize itself when we're not engaged. when we don't lead, then one or 2 things happens. either some other country tries to take our place, but probably not in a way that advances our interests and values or no one does. and then you get chaos . but i present already being raised over the claims coming to wake of america's disastrous invasion. then pull out from afghanistan and could ex note the u. s. overall as a less than proud record of leading, including failures in iraq, afghanistan, libya, and syria. millions in those countries have been killed, displaced as result of those u. s. military interventions, just as they are spoke to flint, marine intelligence office, got written,

we thinks american leadership policies lack morality. 20 blinking has a very difficult job. and that is to try and put a good face on a, on bad policy on, on an administration that you know, promised the moon of a can even launch. we haven't had a foreign policy success in decades of our invasion of iraq in 2000. and 3, of course, predicated on over a decade of, you know, sanctions based containment of saddam hussein. that changed the entire middle east, which in turn gains the entire world. not for the better either. so, you know, the united states as a, has a problem. we are in a position where we have the, the power, the, the accumulation of power to, to make this stand and continue to make the stand. and right now, there's not too many nations that can stand up and prevent us from doing it. it

doesn't make it right. we've seen the consequences of this. but for the moment, the united states no is a, is a superpower, lacks a moral compass, that se, world news at midnight life from moscow for me, kevin o' in, thanks for watching the very good morning. and so it begins 2 weeks of our christmas and new year's the specials, in which we look back in the year that was and parents in the future with some of our roster of amazing guests, all heterodox thinkers, that would be caught dead on break. the finance corporate media. first up, james powered counselor. mm hm. i was diagnosed with cancer in 2000 lives. when the doctors told me the cancer

was incurable. i knew i had to make a change. so i decided to travel to one of the most toxic places in america, florida. one of florida is biggest industries and best kept secrets, is fostering and the biggest player in $85000000000.00 industry is mosaic. and i, there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the florida aqua for a chronic. oh, well, you know, i don't want to hear that word poets name, but that's what it is. i'm in 2013 my all our family dog, my brother, who was 21 years old, myself in my father were all a problem with wow. yeah. whole wrong. and they could play it right. yeah, yeah. maybe they'll actually learn that more help is more important

in for is your media reflection of reality in the world transformed what will make you feel safe for hi selection whole community? are you going the right way or are you being that o direct? what is true was his faith in the world corrupted. you need to descend, have join us in the depths or remain in the shallows. with

whom welcome back to the lars lars and show its 7 minutes after the hour. and i'm in one of the best places you can ever be on a friday for 1st amendment friday because we're making it a 2nd amendment. friday. i'm at northwest armory on se mclaughlin, this place is a mad house to day. it looks like, you know, shopping day after thanksgiving. our business has been exponential amount of growth. there's been a lot more interest in personal protection. as sense if there's been a couple of national tragedies, there's also been

a lot more interest um with the possibility of legislation and people concerned that they're not going to be able to get access. the things that they used to be able to have access to the organ legislatures considering for really bad bills, they would take away people's right to carry guns in various places, including one of them would limit your ability to carry in a school. if the janitor, it's sandy hook, elementary, had carried a pistol and he heard the shooting down the hallway and people screaming and then saw a young man not in a police uniform running at him with an a r 15 and had shouted to the guys, stop and then pulled his pistol out and shot adam lanza would that have been a good thing or a bad thing. the folks like jenny burdick and those, you know, those nitwits, why would they think it would be a bad thing for people, legitimate law abiding people to carry a pistol in a school plan.
