was completely wiped out for the ransomware attack. if you were coming into a clinic because you had a test or you had an operation, they can find your records. they had to go back to pen and paper a tonight in an exclusive interview with our t rush, us foreign minister says moscow will react to a flagrant attempt by berlin to block our teas. new german language channel after europe's leading satellite provider removes it at the request of the countries of media regulated with we cannot tolerate it any longer. and we believe if this unacceptable situation will go on, we will have to respond to it. there getting lot of i've also questions the impartiality of the ongoing trial into the downing of flight mh 17 and eastern

ukraine in 2014. prosecutors are demanding life sentences for the suspects, including 3 russian nationals and a dispute rages within the us democratic party. after one of its own senators effectively torpedoes, jo biden's, lavish infrastructure bill in the senate. we look at why it's fueling a crisis of confidence among democrats. ah, we're broadcasting live director with studios and moscow. this is art international . i'm john thomas. certainly glad to have you with us. now 1st, this early thursday morning, the russian foreign minister share day lab ralph has given r t and exclusive interview in which he touched upon a range of key world issues. ah, one of the main points mister live rob discussed was the removal of our german

language channel r d d from europe's main satellite network provider. that happened just moments before the interview. the move came at the request of germany's media regulator. mr . lab rob slammed the action against the channel, which had only begun broadcasting last week, and warned that it was unacceptable behavior on the part of berlin, and that there will be consequences. will not sca additional just the was nika, 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 a 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 will have to respond to it soon for 2 months. in an interview with russia's and t v, network kremlin spokesperson at dmitri pet scoff, said berlin's behavior was part of a disturbing pattern. bocurel of quicksilver cities to muslim pharmacies. vive,

wrote the booking of the whole network in europe contradicts european spirit. and, oh, nomes 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 r t d b has faced a barrage of resistance and allegations since it launched last thursday. it has accused of not having the necessary documentation to broadcast in germany, but aren't management says it's license was obtained in accordance with all your pin laws and regulations. further, the channel was also taken off youtube. the very day it was launched. technically, there is no connection between that and the german t v broadcast dispute. even during the launch,

an official for german media watchdog suggested they would take action against the channel. this is our statement in response to the latest news. today the german regulator force european satellite service util sat 9 to remove the broadcast of our new moscow based german language channel r t d e from its platform. it is inappropriate for the german regulator, m a b b to overreach, and ignore the european convention on trans frontier television under which of the subject, thereby forcing util, sat to remove r t d from the carrier solely due to the unsubstantiated and factually flawed claims of the german regulator, we believe this amounts to illegal pressure and our confident this actual 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. but the reason that's 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, is successful, i should say. and naturally, no one likes competition. and that's fair. i mean, 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 we are absolutely sure, and we consulted with our international lawyers that everything we're don was exactly according to the existing laws and our asians, 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 you see us as more and more of a competition. but 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 and this to those 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. alexi nichol ortiz chief executive earlier. now, apart from our chief german channel being cut from the european satellite network, much attention was also devoted to the escalating tensions between russia and nato . mister lab, rob says moscow has lost its trust in the west. thus that he will yet on a monday will. 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 where

a to play, so beats and a slot reduce format. mr. lover of covered a real her spectrum of salient international topics of the day from the presence of foreign troops. u. s. troops in syria to the ongoing nuclear negotiations in iran are the main focal point. now, as we said, was that escalation, the ongoing crisis on russia, ukraine border, and 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 at moscow that this is in preparation for some sort of intervention or conflict. for miss lover 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 or when's national institutions such as the when another organizations. and he really warned against the danger, although return or rather returning towards a might is right. balance of power in the world are 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 with the level of focused 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 data, 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 a compromise has to be reached if dear relation that is to happen. but here was it to sir la globes. loves to prove the heads of states and governments have clearly states that no participants of the o s. c, e should insure the security by damaging security of others. so when still some burg 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 somebody believe the native members can ignore this principle that is enshrined in their documents that are the highest level than perhaps it is indeed time for him to get a different job. because he does not perform his functions very well. he called for the formalization within the legal framework to prevent mat expense in eastwards and that a recent discussions had been actually quite positive that washington had listened to moscow as concerns. and at least a dialogue was happening. so at least that 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 over eastern ukraine and 2014 killing all 298 on board. they are demanding life sentences for the, for suspects, including free russian nationals. russia's foreign minister has once again voiced

moscow's concerns about bias in the investigation. just move new. myrtle assumes a pulitzer, some were closely following the case because it's about russian citizens who the defendants at this stage of the trial, were surely conceive you attempt to create an impression that it's a problem of the state rather than a 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. and 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 lawyers. 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, a missile that was supplied from abroad. they, for it, we demand 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 kitchen. how they arrived at this conclusion is a story in the end 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 the, in investigation invited all 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 ukraine, 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 dr. they were edited in their words, were put in place and moved, moved around. but again, ukraine's evidence was taken on board by a slew of evidence for provided from her from other sources, wasn't again, the case was built much on testimony from social media post. the witnesses were but

kept secret their identities anonymous. there was also the fact that for years now, the quote that j i t joint investigative team have vos, the united states that provide 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. the 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 were left 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, a ukrainian military play was shot down. the last of about a dozen in the area, a tides that were,

that were dangerous for civilian ag crop. 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 near college too. there are large number of discrepancies, impartial, judicial process, rule violations, examination of witness breaches. witnesses classified including the one who 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 ignore the amazon tay experiments which prove that investigation statement on the missile tub used 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 control the see all the missing details about the, the me sal itself,

where the launcher was, who 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 you made 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. still to come in the program, our d, we have fall out within the us democratic party after one of its own senators torpedoes, jo biden's, massive infrastructure bill after short breaks there with ah

ah ah. and so it begins 2 weeks of our christmas and new year's, the specials, in which we looked back in the air that was in parents in the future with some of our roster of amazing guests, all heterodox thinkers, there would be caught dead on break the on finance corporate media. first up, james howard, concert with

ah, welcome back. this is our to international now in fighting has broken out within the u. s. a democratic party, after one of its own senators tipped the balance in the senate by refusing to vote in favor of jo biden's near to trillion. dollar build back better, bill joe mentioned immediately drew fury from the white house. his move is seen as a fatal blow to the president's flagship plan, although apparently not by biden himself. do you believe other magic words? you haven't tried your adventure legislation. not some people say, maybe i'm not iron speech, hold a grudge for i want to get things done. i still think there's a possibility. can you feel back better, john? although biden didn't seem on phased, it did pay the way for

a further rift in american politics. with the democratic party now facing a crisis of confidence as r t softer taylor comments, biden promise to build back better than long time friend joe munch and went to 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 send or mention couldn't be trusted. you know, the, the excuses that he just made, i think, are complete and let this lemaire to explain to the people of west virginia why he doesn't have the guts to say about the powerful, special ed. what sen mentioned did yesterday represents such an increased breach of the trusted 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 for weeks that this would happen and we took the hits, our leadership needs to step up. now politics and finger pointing, go hand in hand, nothing new, right? well, not quite because one, it's tradition for the reds and blues to spit to each other across the aisle. here is a democrat spitting, i didn't, chapa, i 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 policies are apparently become long time friends, decades of shared values. 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 at least keeping the senate. it's tough, it's a tough reality. in today's america, where it's party above all mansions, vito's spells trouble for bite and i really couldn't have come out. it was time yes . canister withdrawal on the contrary through the us. hi, petra price says a supply chain still in crisis record inflation on a historically low popularity rating of just 141 percent at a time right this you need your people move and that's why you need a rallying cry. what does biden have a party and boiled and fighting has signature legislation in the dot, and now defecting democrats with rumors, there is just the tip of the iceberg member, we had an individual re register 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 changed 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 that joe biden matter wife for the con charlemagne. i really job and i can't. no, no, no, no, no, no, it's joe biden, which quite frankly, probably came a news to bide and himself kinda 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 countries moved divisive president, they took control of the house on 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 what building back a party that seems to have lost its way. as you know, obviously it is split. anna is grown stream like dale is growing, almost both part is he and america is the breakup within a democrat pot. and ian, be our leadership law president by the house hasn't made it in a battle. they are running a freight, they're not election is coming up to mit turning 20 or $22.00 and our forwarded me left and us one right thing. it shows a lot of hypocrites within the democratic party. i think the dom credit. no, they are in for a fighter fight of their lives. they have all been so ralph crab, a cane co, radical debt. they are moved far away from the main stream of america, what american people want, and they know it's gonna be a fight for their life. they only all white house, anna, they own the congress and defend it. and they have been unable to get the bill back battle ah,

program to govern and get it class because it actually bank reps before america does what it stands for. former c and an employee john griffin, a long time producer for disgraced cnn star chris cuomo has pleaded not guilty to child sex trafficking charges of court. documents alleged that griffin tried to pay off witnesses, including that he offered a woman $30000.00 in january, 2020 and also sent $4000.00 to a family member of a 9 year old. he is accused of assaulting. griffin was indicted this month on allegations of attempting to lower minors for sexual activities and coerced girls, as young as 7 years old to go to his home for sexual subservience training. he will face a maximum sentence of life in prison. if convicted cnn says the charges against john griffin are deeply disturbing. and this is by far not the 1st sex scandal at sienna and in recent memory. this month, the network fired chris cuomo for alleged misconduct while he helped his brother

andrew. then the new york governor to fight off a sexual harassment case. and in recent weeks cnn host don lehman was accused of sexually assaulting a bar tender. and last year, she and n legal analyst jeffrey toobin was allegedly caught masturbating on a work related video call. or g contributor lauren chin thinks that such scandals could ruin cnn's ratings. here's her commentary. the charges that john griffin is facing, they are not capricious. they are not merely based on a he said, she said, situation. there are evidence of payments at text messages that duly people to believe authority, specifically that he has been at paying underage girls a for sexual favors, as well as trying to involve their mothers to varying degrees. he is engaged in grooming, and some would argue, as well as sex trafficking. many mainstream media outlets not just seen themselves have, i think, been a little bit hesitant to talk about this issue. even though we can only imagine what the reaction would have been if this had been someone, for example,

on the fox news team or the trump team that had been discovered doing the exact same things overall as cnn's credibility has been shipped away, especially over the trumpet ministrations years, a lot of people just no longer believe that they are a fair and unbiased source of news. and it's just not a good look for a network that is already struggling to keep up a positive public appearance. and sadly, the only time cnn has been that, i think, really disgust widely lately has not been for their amazing journalism or content. it has been because of these, these negative new stories involving their personnel. if the feds are alleging that not only did john griffin engage in these terrible behaviors, but he also then try to pay off a witness to remain silent. i don't think we have much reason to take john griffin at his word. and i think the fact that he has engaged in these things shows that as a person, there is not much he is not willing to do when it comes to preserving his own freedom. that is the news for this hour. i will be back in about $233.00 and

a half minutes with another full official excuse to lose. ah, when you listen to a sequence of tone and you think acts is going to happen. you know, why happens instead of distinctive bringing responses in games that are relevant to you, how we experience, reward and pleasure, while listening to some people looking, this is a kind of music is a kind of choreographing of our expectations. so psychology is a very big industry and there's a lot of opportunities for hackers. movie lives, not here, but what me didn't bring the law in that country you're dealing with why rest in the major cybersecurity challenge is the sovereignty of laws that cyberspace has no borders. new sovereignty we ended up with, for example, the national health service in the u. k, the and

a chest was completely wiped out from a ransomware attack. if you are coming in to a clinic because you had a test or you had an operation, they can't find your records. they had to go back to pen and paper with oh, because it will not shut natural resources. thank you. i'd like to start with moscow's proposals for a collective security framework and red lines on nato's eastwood expansion, which have been ignored by the u. s. why has the block still remained silent on these proposals? craft will rush or tolerate this and will the west except to russia's proposals for peaceful coexistence, another love of stock. thus bessy wrote rob ross. oh, sure,

thank you. this is probably one of the most pertinent issues to day. i wouldn't say our initiatives are being ignored. president putin spoke about this at length yesterday at the extended defense ministry board meeting. he said that they discussed this issue during the last video conference with president biden. president biden expressed his willingness to look at russia's concerns while we presented our ideas on possible agreements. one of the draft blueprints focuses on us. russian relations is called the treaty between the united states of america and the russian federation on security guarantees. the 2nd draft treats he aims to address security issues between russia and nato. mister stilton berg, nato. secretary general tends to make outlandish statements. his room to be leaving soon as his term ends this year for the central bank of norway, or at least that's what he's hoping to do. the head of a central bank has to closely and faithfully follow and implement operational guidelines. now, going back to european or euro atlantic security ranks,

it relies on a number of guidelines that were agreed on and signed by heads of states. these are political commitments including its cornerstone, the principle of equal and indivisible security. it's an explicit commitment by heads of states, according to it, no o s c member shall strengthen their security at the expense of other participating states. in the meantime, mister fulton both publicly and arrogantly says that no one has the right to encroach on the open door policy for any aspiring nature member as stipulated in the washington treaty. however, we are not part of nato or a signatory to this treaty. we are a signatory to a much more hence, if regional framework, the features the principle of equal and indivisible security. if mister stolt and berg indeed believes that nato members are free to disregard this principle enshrined in the agreement, signed by heads of states than he definitely needs to get a new job because he's not handling his current responsibilities well enough.
