is art international and more than 200 people were arrested in central london on monday as a 2 week climate protest by extinction rebellion activists got underway. now the group has said it intends to paralyze westminster by blocking roads and transport networks hundreds of people have been chaining themselves to vehicles and are protesting outside government departments it is part of a worldwide campaign spending 16 major cities and protesters have also disrupted traffic in central amsterdam madrid and berlin dutch police say they made 50 arrests near a popular tourist attraction while in berlin around a 1000 people blocked a busy intersection meanwhile in australia and new zealand dozens of activists have been arrested extinction rebellion has been in the headlines throughout the year. the types of actions that we want to engage with are disruptive to business as usual but disruptive in a way that is not repellent to observers or outsiders people who may not even consider themselves to be environmentalists or politically active or aware cetera but people who are just paying attention in the world and understand that we are in a crisis and so they will be attracted or drawn into the spirit of the rebellion there are many ways to get involved. and we don't really place getting arrested above not getting arrested among extinction rebellions key demands are the governments declare a climate emergency halt the loss of biodiversity and slash carbon emissions our guests gave us their views on the tactics of the movement has been using. extinction rebellion is without question britain's fastest growing pagan religion and the reason i refer to as a pagan religion is just as all the classic hallmarks of a group of religious fundamentalists a belief that their view is the only view that's acceptable a desire to shut down everything that does not talk to their worldview they fundamental belief that they are in charge and everybody else also go to their beck and call how do you resolve pollution the result polluted by technological advancements the technological advancements the extinction rebellion oppose what this generation seems to be saying is you've messed things up for long enough you're not really listening the only way we can actually get your attention is actually by civil disobedience in the footsteps of mahatma gandhi and martin luther king jr and malcolm x. and rosa parks and people who decided that peaceful nonviolent public protest. displays of public outrage but tamed and controlled because don't forget the extinction rebellion and anybody who is involved in political activism or any kind of change agenda they going to use your actions and activities against you look extinction rebellion of demand effects we have returned to the stone age removal of economic progress a commitment to not grow the economy so essentially the british government for example has committed to being 0 carbon by 2050 which i think is nominally sensible you can't or shouldn't trust all words that come to our service we had our cities can trust us we're not because our numbers in the names become clearer every single year if i can speak directly into the camera my 11 year old son who was at home with the band hello guys and we had a debate before it came on tonight about does he want to. leave school. take a break for an afternoon or a day to go and protest he was worried about the consequences at age 11 he understands that the climate is suffering and that rapid change is needed if we do . need to tackle pollution but i will tell you something you regret you reverse the economic advantages of lifted a 1000000000 people up and say you do not make the earth a better place extinction rebellion lying. indigenous groups and workers unions in ecuador are venting their anger over the government's decision to scrap fuel subsidies corresponding with r.t. spanish was at one of their demonstrations on monday and filmed this for us but. he says it was peaceful until police turned up armed with crowd control weapons and tear gas canister exploded near our correspondent the reporters had to move away from of the site since the rallies began last thursday some of which have been violent one man has died and close to 500 people have been arrested the protesters have been blocking roads and highways and around 50 police officers have been taken hostage in different parts of the country president moreno has responded with a 2 month state of emergency refusing to scrap of the new reforms here's what some of the demonstrators told us. is clearly not the most the people have rights and we want them to be itemised those rights which has been in the job for managers and then ran his lackey government in step with the north american empire you know it's just that i am that has a back fast does not help other people and so we don't want that put on we saw what happened we speak oh yes suffering from hunger. the leader of the french national rally party marine le pen has called for an immigration freeze claiming the french ship is sinking. more. as the immigration question once again stirs up heated debate in france the reality on the ground remains shocking. them for so for answers asylum system is saturated today it's as if we're only now feeling the effects of the 20152016 crisis the data is clear indisputable in 2018 france registered 123000 asylum applications. you have chosen to make migrants a scapegoat for the country's problems the migrant rather than the financier who ponders our country for the tax evader you not hear all around you can get a sense of the number of people who are living here this is sultani a commune in the northern suburb of paris and it's estimated that there are around 3000 migrants currently living in the northern parts of paris many are living in these makeshift tents that are provided by association they rely on food handouts just to survive that the stress of living on the edge can be explosive in entering camps can be dangerous even for those who are there to offer help now what we've done today is we've asked if we can come in and we've been given permission to film as long as we don't show any faces now some charitable organizations have also been raising the alarm over the situation here saying it evokes memories of the height of the crisis back in 2015 a cataclysmic situation even in 2015 at the height of the migrant crisis we never had such a big spike. and these are some of the fears that have been shared by locals the mayor is doing everything possible he's working on the situation but importantly at the governmental level it is taking too long. a lot of things are going on here there is fear i see a lot of things people are going mad and there is a lot of aggression i find this very sad that our government accepted these people and left them on the streets and the polls show a significant percentage of the french feel that there are too many foreigners in france it's half way through his presidency and it's already an issue that mccall is getting tough on in what many see is an attempt to stop voters drifting to parties such as marking the pens national rally. we are increasingly getting to live with waves of immigration faith traditions we must organize ourselves because france cannot welcome everyone if it wants to host people. but the problem with illegal immigrants is not only a french problem it's something that the whole of the e.u. is trying to grapple with and while the countries are struggling to find a workable solution there are more warnings coming up we have to help our european partners even more in patrolling the external border we have left them alone for too long if we don't we will once again see a refugee wave like into into 15 maybe even greater than 4 years ago his solution to that is to strengthen patrols on the e.u.'s external borders but that's going to have little impact on the situation already at hand in places like this like some tinny camps like this have been regularly demolished by the french authorities yet within days of that happening the tents and the migrants return they've been subjected to gangs and drug dealers out to profit from their misery and that's exactly what this is. this is a life of misery a life of constantly living on the edge all while e.u. countries wrangle over figures and numbers rather than perhaps facing the human calamity that is so clear to see. you can ski r.t. at sultani near paris. you're watching r t international and i want to remind you that our news team is working very hard to keep you updated on our breaking news situation out of turkey in the united states withdrawing their troops there we keep you updated coming up in let's say about 33 minutes in. a way that makes us try to recreate a gold standard is imposing tariffs on each other to even things out and they creates an enormous

quinn plans to restructure the bank. facebook's libra continue to run into roadblocks and regulatory backlash from governments worldwide while the team pushes on words key members of the libor association are having doubts and dropping out pay pal is the 1st company to officially drop out and rumors are that visa and mastercard are uncertain about the project's ultimate feasibility the libor association had been made up of 28 corporate backers who are meant to help govern libra all founding members were expected to invest a minimum of $10000000.00 to fund the operating costs and drive adoption but those investments have not yet been made this does not bode well for facebook as many of libras backers are wary of attracting regulatory scrutiny and have declined facebook's request to publicly support the project with more we're joined by a managing partner of the block chains founders fund so 8 ali it looks like being 1st mover to make a big splash in this space is attracting a lot of unwanted attention so you have france value to walk libra and european privacy regulators now questioning facebook's unchecked power collecting both personal and financial information so now the companies who were previously supportive a libra they don't even want to be publicly associate with the project anymore so is this the beginning of the end for libor or will they continue to move forward. so i would say that this is not the and for libra there is still a lot of potential with what libor is doing but they're definitely making a lot of mistakes and so it is concerning when you see companies like pay pal deciding to leave and actually the statement that came out from libor as association targeting pay pal said it's good to know of this lack of commitment now rather than later and it doesn't acknowledge the problems that facebook libras made and the risks that they're adding on to their partners with their lack of a comprehensive plan you also see with the french regulators the sentiment echoed about the threats to national sovereignty. p b o c n china also had very similar concerns leading to the acceleration of their currency that they're working on and so it is definitely very concerning there will likely be other partners that leave if book libra does not turn this around quickly and so these changes do need to happen and they need to happen very soon man you have finance kind of trolling coming out with their own stable client project and the venus to facebook leap so unlike social media company at heart trying to scrap together block chain team finance has been doing this from day one so why isn't the key differences between libra and venus. so i would look at on the libra side i would break it down into 3 categories there's the banks the interest in the monetary policy on the banking side what's very interesting is facebook leverage does not have any banking partners and this is actually a very big concern with the association the reason for this is that banks understand the k y c regulation and the threats that this poses to their business in relation to major fines that could happen from violations of these rules on the interest on what you see based on the interest from user deposits is that they actually don't go to the users under facebook model but they actually go to the association itself and to the members of that association and so that is another problem with that set up on the monetary policy side one of the concerns is that facebook has a certain monetary tools that they're taking away from central banks and if some of the conditions are promises change on the way that. this poses additional threats for central banks with facebook or libor itself there is a lack of details but with finance itself there is a lack of details. on the project i mean aside some of the things that we've seen by nance's done. well is the fact that they do have a very good outreach and education programs to people of all crypto currency they have done a pretty good job working with regulators regulate a different side of regulators globally but they are actually making some interesting traction there and so it's actually interesting to see where facebook itself is stronger for example very massive reach on the what's up and facebook platforms is of course much weaker there but they almost seem to complement each other so maybe one day we'll see them actually partnering and working together but i think as of now they are very far apart from that sort of thing and we haven't heard discussions on that and so right now it will be interesting to see as finance and project venus release more details to see how it'll shape and whether or not they'll really be able to live up to working with regulators in a more effective way that facebook has done so big you know what libra was after originally intended to launch on what but it looks like that telegram to it instead of the ton offering raise 1700000000 dollars and just signed anchorage as its crypto custodian so are we saying facebook dominance eroding in this new era that values privacy a lot more. so in this world that values privacy i mean there is still a very big tradeoff that people make every day every time you download a free you know you're essentially trading. service or your data for that service and so you see this every day and so in the context of telegraph and facebook you know it is it still remains to be seen how the launch goes for telegram which is expected at the end of this month and so it will be interesting to see what is the sort of adoption that happens on telegram how many people are actually using it how are they using it and we're not sure even if telegram is going to be sharing all of the details of the real traction that's happening so will be interesting to follow this. this story we actually personally did invest at the start of the telegram project for the token and so we are also keeping a very close eye it is important though to keep in mind that it is not a sprint and it's a marathon and both projects can learn from each other and whoever sets up the best for the long run to ideally meet some of those concerns from regulators will likely do the best. i was managing partner of the block found it's fun thank you so much for being here. thank you for

russia, russia, russia. it became a bad joke how the president maintains his sanity throughout this ordeal is a great mystery. i think that the people that engineered this, the people that crafted this hoax, the people that drew the country down this -- into oz will at some point have to pay the piper. i have no doubt. >> dana: wait. did someone wear a wire inside the oval office? >> geraldo: rod rosenstein said it was a joke. >> dana: we're not saying that somebody wore a wire -- >> geraldo: how did they get -- >> dana: i don't know. i have never heard that somebody wore a wire in the oval office. >> geraldo: i stand literally corrected but my point is well-made. >> dana: indeed. >> greg: they entrapped people. they did everything. >> dana: rod rosenstein was joking when he said that. >> that's how he get his ruffles together. how about the three of get married but i'm not. rod rosenstein was doing that, but now it's very interesting because i don't think he was trying to engage in any sort of new marital concoction. what i am saying is there were forces working against the president and it's now looking as though some of these things at one point in our very recent path we would call conspiracy theories are bearing out in a way that it's happening so quickly with such depth and breadth. it's hard to wrap your head around. you understand the forcefulness with which the president defends himself because he feels like he was unfairly painted into a corner. someone really went after him. i appreciate the tenacity with which geraldo defends him. i feel like i'm next to jesse. >> dana: rod rosenstein is part of the investigation. they want to talk to clapper and brennan from the obama administration. >> greg: do you mind if i bash the media? i don't do it very often. >> dana: for a change. >> greg: i'm going to take a break. okay. i love how the media is saying, this investigation to the russian probe is just another conspiracy theory. they mock the republicans for this conspiracy theory. it's like the real house wives of new jersey calling you trashy. they pick theories more than mike pushes pillows. they know they can't win an election so they're like the stupid kid that is terrified of failing a final. so what does he do? he calls in a bomb threat. this is their bomb threat. their way of not facing the music. good news here, i think. i think the tide is turning against the democrats because the process is so out of proportion to the infraction. there's so much effort to produce so little. reminds me of the oscars. starts out interesting. like you watch the oscars the first half an hour is great. when it's over, when the oscars are over, you only remember one thing. how it went on too long, how bloated and grow -- grotesque it was. the longer it goes on, the more likely the american public will detest it. you treat it like the oscars, get it over. >> dana: and go to commercial break. not yet. >> the dems have a problem. they're teeing up -- the doj has lost their independence. they're saying this is political revenge. and when i look at it, they're against the good old boy system. i don't mean to bash government workers. jonathan durham is not one of those guys. durham is a guy that has investigated them before. investigated the cia before. this is a guy that was good enough for holder, good enough for trump as well. a guy that has bipartisan support. but has staked his career after going after corruption. >> dana: and on the cia, he declined -- >> and the c.i.a. has lawyered up. >> dana: yeah. the previous administration found no criminal wrong doing. we have something else. a battle over impeachment is still raging. republicans are demanding that the whistle-blower testify. now democrats are reportedly claim that hearing from the whistle-blower is no longer necessary. comes as the left and the media continue to mock and attack the gop after they stormed the closed-door hearing this week. >> this looked like a klan group outside of a jail trying to get the sheriff to let them in so they can deliver their own justice against somebody inside. it's not a good look for our democracy or for the republican party. iaoc is joining in, calling it a little flash mob or entitlement of privilege. greg, they did a stunt, trying to make a point. they won the news cycle for the day. did it look like the klan? >> greg: how can it be a klan if there's no democrats? it's all republicans. i seem to remember the klan was made up of democrats. what kills me -- >> this was racist. this was a racist -- that man was a racist comment. >> greg: it is. i agreed. what i find interesting geraldo and -- when faced with real mobs, chasing people out of restaurants, hitting trump supporters, if you called them the mob, the media called you racist. you weren't supposed to use the m word. that was two months ago. now guys and women, politicians, lawmakers go to a meeting and they call it a mop of white people. the klan. so you're right. i agree with you. you agree with me. let's get a drink. >> geraldo: republicans should be more diverse. you get what the point is. the point is there's a lot of republicans that feel this process is grotesquely unfair. you know, i -- they say it's about process. it is about process. due process. the president gets due process. you can't do it in private. you didn't do it in private in 98 or in 74 and they can't do it in private now. i say the president should do nothing to cooperate unless and until they open the hearings. >> greg: you should be his later. >> geraldo: i feel strongly about this. to kennedy's point that i sound like jesse waters, we should all be offended that we sang this russia dance for 2 1/2 years and spent this money for nothing. what? the steele dossier? golden chair? what did they base this on in. >> dana: oh, boy. i don't know what you're talking about. >> greg: what's that? >> dana: like the golden corral. it's a wonderful buffet. my sister loves that restaurant so much. >> so does any grandmother. >> dana: they're going to have public hearings in november. >> this is a time for americans and lawmakers to reevaluate their past decisions. everybody loved the fisa court for so long. republicans and democrats rallied around for the fisa court and libertarians said don't trust it. >> dana: yes. >> me and you disagree on that. there's no due process. so now we have instances where americans are spied on and a sham investigation and they say at least we go a warrant from a fisa court. >> dana: and michael horowitz, the inspector general, says it's within the next couple weeks or so that we'll have his report that focuses only on the fbi's role. >> but now i

russia, russia, russia. now it's ukraine, ukraine, ukraine. let's take a look. >> the president called on the russians to help in this campaign by hacking and hillary's emails. >> we are using this as leverage to obtain dirt. another country many factor dirt on his opponent. >> we believe the president of united states engaged in a cover-up. >> i think that there is evidence of a cover-up. >> the campaign accepted help. the russians gave help and the president made full use of that help. >> i do not think we can rely on a country beholden on the good graces of donald trump to be able to level with us on this. >> no one is above the law, especially the president of the united states. the president believes that he is above the law. the law being the constitution of the united states. >> there is already in my view ample evidence in the public domain on the issue of collusion if you are willing to see it. >> it is very powerful evidence of that kind of potential impeachable offense. >> sean: do you see a pattern? it would almost be funny if they weren't trying to circumvent the will of you, the american people, and literally remove a duly elected president from office who is doing an amazing job under the worst circumstances. and smearing the president has been their number one goal from the very beginning. by the way, they don't care about improving the lives of americans, in spite of their lofty and, you know, cliched language from earlier today. as the president tweeted, the do-nothing democrats should be focused on building up our country, not wasting everyone's time and energy on b.s., which is what they've been doing ever since i got overwhelmingly elected in 2016, get a better candidate this time. you'll need it. by the way, we have an election in a year. do you think your ideas are superior, do you think your record is better? okay, let's have it out in the ring called an election. have the american people decide for once and maybe you guys can put your best candidate forward who wants to spend $94 trillion and eliminate gas, oil, energy, the combustion engine, planes, cows. run on that $94 trillion idiocy in the eliminating private insurance, good luck with that. the president continued to fight back against those who want to take him down. watch this. >> we don't column shifty schiff for nothing. he's a shifty, dishonest guy. by the way, who is critical of one of the great secretary of state, graduated number one in his stage at west point, graduated top -- one of the top of his class at harvard law school. the most honorable person, mike pompeo. this guy was negative on mike pompeo. he can't -- there is an expression. he couldn't carry his blanket strap. i won't say it, it's so terrible to say. he wouldn't carry his blank strap. do you understand that? you deal with bad people. you know? i watched china over the last few days and watch these other countries build up, build up, build up, and we build up more than any of them because of me, but no help from the democrats. they are a disaster. they are the do-nothing democrats, they don't do any work, all they want to do is try to would make the election in 2020 so they come up with this impeachment nonsense and everyone knows, the conversation all based on one phone call that i had where i'm talking to the president of the ukraine, you'll hear from ambassadors, you'll hear from some of the folks who know all about the call, why the call was set up, and everything else is perfect. the call was perfect. nancy pelosi and shifty schiff, who should resign in disgrace, by the way, and jerry nadler and all of them, it's a disgrace what's going on. and we should be focused on making america great again and keeping america great because what they did was nonsense. think of it. you have a perfect -- i mean, perfect conversation with a president of another country, ukraine in this case. and they try and say, let's impeach him. they've been trying to impeach me from the day i got elected. i have been going through this for three years. they've been trying to impeach me from the day i got elected. and, you know what? they failed. this is the easiest one of them all. because this one is based on one conversation. what about obama's conversation with the president of russia where he says, hey, hey, tell vlad i will talk to him after the election. nobody reports that, right? that stuff you should report. but you people should be ashamed of yourselves. we have the most dishonest media that you can imagine and you should be ashamed of yourself. but here's what happened: the whistle-blower was wrong. the only thing that matters is the transcript of the actual conversation that i had with the president of ukraine. it was perfect! we are looking at congratulations, we are looking at doing things together, and what we are looking at? we are looking at corruption. bang. i believe in 1999, there was a red corruption act or corruption bill passed between both countr. i have a duty to report corruption. let me tell you something. biden's son is corrupt, and biden is corrupt. and i'd rather run against biden than almost any of those candidates and i think they are all week. but i think biden has never been a smart guy and he's less smart now than he ever was. thank

russia? it is so bizarre, or is it? it keeps happening. russia, russia, russia keeps coming up again and again. rump's first thank you after the baghdadi raid as you saw there. also consider the white house told russia about the raid but opted against briefing people like nancy pelosi the house speaker because they were worried about leaks from pelosi but not russia. although when asked today by nbc news, the white house press operation couldn't identify a single instance of nancy pelosi leaking any national security secrets. kevin's still here and the table's still here. always, always, always a russia angle. >> i am reminded as he stumbled into this ridiculous accusation that nancy pelosi might leak this. who was it that actually leaks classified information to russia? it was president trump not nancy pelosi. you know, obviously it was the special forces operators who did the heavy lifting in this operation. the president's speech should've been a lay-up. it is such an easy thing to do. it ought to be such a unifying moment for the country for the president to come out and announce. he can tha

russia, russia, russia. the only problem for democrats, it was a lie, a hoax, and a conspiracy three, three long years. in the end, the mueller report was a dud, his testimony was an embarrassment. four separate investigations cleared the way. president trump was cleared. now the mob has altered their favorite hoax and conspiracy theories for a second round of breathless hysteria and false reporting. take a look. >> the president of the united states and those around him during election campaigns colluded with a hostile foreign power. >> i keep getting asked, are other echoes of watergate in this? there are. >> there is already ample evidence in the public domain on the issue of collusion. if you are willing to see it. >> the president used that opportunity to try to coerce that leader to manufacture dirt on his opponent and interfere in our election. >> you know, russia was interfering in the election, and they weren't doing it on their own and he was in on it. >> the president once again has gone and solicited foreign help for his election effort. >> sean: roswell rachel maddow is lying still. another conspiracy theory -- that is why we call her ross well rachel. she believes any live. same people, same hoax, same end goal: destroying a duly-elected president. this is always been about that one reason for the mob as well. it's not about collusion, national security -- we will have more coming up later in the show. instead, from the moment donald trump came down that escalator with his wife, melania, the left has been hell-bent in taking revenge and impeaching the president that you elected to. we put together a comprehensive timeline, it started just two days after donald trump shocked the world. we were one of the few that told you yeah, it can happen. was elected. take a look. >> if he takes the risk of going to trial and he's convicted, that coul

that from the day he took office, it was the 25th amendment, the mullings clause, russia, russia, russiastruction of justice. all those things. he has to be impeached. if everything is and 11, nothing is and 11. they have may be stumbled on an 11. they have the transcript. trump said it was a perfect call. you can make an argument. no one is paying as much attention as they otherwise would have if we hadn't been told from the beginning that he needs to be bounced out of office. so i don't know. they can ratchet up the covered all they want. i don't know whether they are convincing everyone on the fence or in the middle. >> tucker: at all. it seems like people are starting to tune out in general from news coverage because, like how long can you keep -- >> our outrage culture. watch on my supposed to be outraged about? i'm going to get outraged. just give me two seconds. ukraine, all right. >> tucker: we talked about this at the time. at trump's election, you heard people say we need to think about who is voters are. there's a whole world we know nothing about. we should be sympathetic to

he's got all the evidence we would ever need about russia russia russia collusion. it was a hoax and conspiracy, lies, didn't work out. ukraine. it's evolving narratives and in other words, you have the cowardly schiff trying really hard to get his lies straight. remember, first according to schiff, there were multiple direct quid pro quo's from the president's call with your grading and president and then the president released the transcript. that proved to be a lie as well. when ukraine's president and their foreign minister both said they felt zero pressure whatsoever what, then there is schiff, he claimed it was some kind of behind the scenes effort to shake down ukraine over time by withholding. what we found out no money was actually released without any conditions whatsoever and that ukrainian government didn't even know that the money was delayed at the time of the call, schiff had to change his narrative again, calling and witness after witness but only behind closed doors, without real republican due process at all. to speculate on the president's intenti

russia wants to forget about 1989. it was, yes, an amazing period but it was the period of backtracking, surrender, defeat. now, russia seeks victories. i think that whatever label you give russia, global player 01’ label you give russiaerpower label you give russia, global player or superpower or label you give russia, global player or superpower or empire, what i see isa or superpower or empire, what i see is a country with a cast—iron conviction that it is great and that great powers must have influence. hello, as one weather system clears, another comes in from the atlantic. it doesn'tjust sum up the weekend weather across the uk, but pretty much the next seven to ten days out there. here is the next weather system coming in. as we go on through saturday into sunday, here is the next one that will come in on monday. so more rain to come this weekend, not a wash—out though. there will be some drier, brighter skies either side of an area of rain that will be quite heavy at times as it spreads its way eastwards. now, this is how we start on saturday morning, quite chilly across the eastern side of the uk where we have had clear skies overnight. there may be a touch of frost in the coldest parts of north—east scotland

why did he do that? he alien aated the people close to him right now. he was willing to say, i don't care what those jurors who are going to save my presidency think. what is more important is whatever erdogan said to him. we need to know what that is. >> we'll be back around this table talking about this in the weeks ahead. kevin, thank you for coming in and being on the show today. >> thank you. >> coming up, the deadline taking over the uk. leading to a last minute brexit compromise as protesters take to the street. will boris johnson be handed a second defeat. more next. ♪ do you recall, not long ago ♪ we would walk on the sidewalk ♪ ♪ all around the wind blows ♪ we would only hold on to let go ♪ ♪ blow a kiss into the sun ♪ we need someone to lean on ♪ blow a kiss into the sun ♪ we needed somebody to lean on ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ all we need is someone to lean on ♪ i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424. ♪ lashmakes every lash fullyrom maybsensational.ork. our fanning brush volumizes every kind of lash... ...for a sensational full-fan effect. lash sensational. only from maybelline new york. woman 1: i had no symptoms of hepatitis c. man 1: mine... man 1: ...caused liver damage. vo: epclusa treats all main types of chronic hep c. vo: whatever your type, ask your doctor if epclusa is your kind of cure. woman 2: i had the common type. man 2: mine was rare. vo: epclusa has a 98% overall cure rate. man 3: i just found out about my hepatitis c. woman 3: i knew for years. vo: epclusa is only one pill, once a day, taken with or without food for 12 weeks. vo: before starting epclusa, your doctor will test if you have had hepatitis b, which may flare up, and could cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. vo: tell your doctor if you have had hepatitis b, other liver or kidney problems, hiv, or other medical conditions... vo: ...and all medicines you take, including herbal supplements. vo: taking amiodarone with epclusa may cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. vo: common side effects include headache and tiredness. vo: ask your doctor today, if epclusa is your kind of cure. >> people simply will not understand how politicians can say with one breath that they want delay to avoid no deal and with the next breath that they still want delay when a great deal is there to be done. >> this is "up," i'm in for david gura. that is boris johnson. it has been three years and three prime ministers since that historic vote took over the uk. now they may be at the finish line with a deal struck with the european union as protesters march in the street of london. most european leaders are backing johnson's agreement, it is a different matter in london with no clear majority and no clear path forward. will the deal pass or will johnson suffer another defeat?

is that a legitimate decision or should we just move on because what is happening now in the white house is of more paramount concern? >> i think we can walk and chew gum at the same time. we can be horrified by the white house and demand a clear policy from elizabeth warren. she is up to the task of trolling the white house on twitter and coming up with a policy that makes sense. i do worry about excessive discussion of how american people love their health care plans and want to keep their health care plans. most people hate their health care plans. we cannot resolve that because they spend a lot of money in that town. >> to the final question about elizabeth warren, to your point, your wall street friends who are nervous. >> friends is a strong word. kidding. love you guys. >> nervous about a nominee and republicans who i've talked to who don't like the president and want the democrats to nominate someone they can go to? are you hearing from those -- all of you have republican friends. for them, elizabeth warren, as much as they don't want to vote for the president and want to vote for a democrat that elizabeth warren is a bridge too far. >> absolutely. i live in connecticut. a corner that has been previously republican. a lot who supported push and mccain very strongly. they are very concerned. the thing i hear most is that they don't want to vote. as a daughter of immigrants, that pains me. we have to vote. i hear it all the time because she's you too far left. they are a grade of the direction the country would head it and medicare particularly. >> we'll have to have you back in a few weeks to talk about where things are with elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and that stair down you talk about. >> thank you very much to you all. make sure to tune in tomorrow when christine beltran and christine chambers join me with christina greer and more coming up tomorrow. two lawmakers in the closed door depositions tell us what they learn. the presidential candidate clinton now says could be groomed by russiabe one of the most powerful congressman in american history. remembering elijah cummings, next. biopharmaceutical researchers. driven each day to pursue life-changing cures... in a country built on fostering innovation. here, they find breakthroughs... like a way to fight cancer by arming a patient's own t-cells... and a new therapy that gives the blind a working gene so they can see again. because it's not just about the next breakthrough... it's all the ones after that.

russia before this got underway. listen to how he described it. >> russia treated us great. they opened up. we had to fly over certain russia areas, russiald areas. russia was great. >> what did you tell them? >> we told them we're coming in. and they said, thank you for telling us. they were very good. they were very cooperative. they really were good. and we did say it would be a mission that they would like, too, because you know, again, they hate isis as much as we do. >> so toluse, russia got the heads up but members of congress did not? >> that's what it looks like. there is bipartisan discomfort with the president's continued off and onni i fawning over russia. it goes back to his campaign and the early years of his presidency. there is discomfort of how cozy the president is with russia, how many positive things he says about russia, and even siding with vladimir putin last year over the u.s. intelligence agencies about russia election meddling. there is some discomfort there that congress was not looped in and russia was. i don't know how many republicans will say that publicly, but it will be part of the narrative as democrats

thank the nations of russia for one terrorist leader to justice i want to thank the nations of russia turkey syria and iraq russia treated us great they turkey syria and iraq russia treated us great they opened up we had to fly over certain russia areas russia had opened up we had to fly over certain russia areas russia held areas russia was great they holding their number right disagreed on slate and stick to this of increasing number of participants and states who supposedly took part in that operation each having contradictory details all of the pose of lee took part in that operation each having contradictory details all of that prompts reasonable questions and doubts about the reality and even more so but it prompts reasonable questions and doubts about the reality and even more so about the success of this operation we are not aware of any alleged assistance from the success of this operation we are not aware of any alleged assistance for the american into the airspace of the illit deescalation zone or the american into the airspace of the illit deescalation zone. well moscow also said that the death of the elisa leader does not change this. well moscow als

russia that supplied the best in europe and also germany for example of its most of its gas well isn't europe sort of on the russia's thumb there in a while in a way can can russia blackmail europe over political issues save ukraine for example. well that big difficult for russia because russia is also dependent on europe and also on the custom as russia has to to sell its gas 60 to 70 percent of the budget of the federal state budget russia dependent on the revenues from gas so they have to sell and europe has to buy it's a double dependency it's another story for ukraine ukraine is not buying gas anymore from russia it's now getting its gas actually from western europe but ukraine is dependent on the fees it's just for gas transport via the pipelines running through ukraine and russia wants to get rid of these fees and the dependency on ukraine and therefore is building these new pipelines around ukraine the turks remain in the south and north stream in the north battling that thank you very much. hong kong's leader carrie lam says the city is a risk of falling into recession as it enters its 5th month of pro-democracy protests over its numbers have dropped and retail businesses as they have been forced to shut of their doors doing protests and rallies. afte

russia. thousands of hours of cable television their russia becomes thousands of hours of cable television russia becomes blamed for all sorts of things so. russia is the prime can't blame for all sorts of things so. russia is the prime candidate for demonization it's very difficult to do the same thing to china because that did it for demonization it's very difficult to do the same thing to china because that would be considered racist whereas russians pass for white people so russia's they would be considered racist whereas russians pass for white people so russia's state the obvious target but it's sort of shadow boxing because they are really hitting the obvious target but it's sort of shadow boxing because they are really hitting russia they're. pretty much like watching each other over russia that's what it looks like russia they're pretty much like watching each other over russia that's what it looks like from here you know and i 'd think that there's a point there you know these social justice warriors from here you know and i 'd think that there's a point there you know the social justice warriors in the u.s. the hollywood liberal types

russia when really the situation is quite the opposite. it was ukraine that had crimea annexed in 2014. it was ukraine that was invaded by russia. russia and its proxies have fermented war in eastern ukraine for five years now, and there's been over 13,000 lives lost, and in that -- in ukraine's fight against russia, and russia is huge. russia just can swamp ukraine. the size differential is just massive, and ukraine is very dependent on u.s. support for this, european support, support from international institutions, as it both tries to juggle these many things, at the same time they have an ongoing hot war. they're trying to clean up corruption. they've long relied on western support for that. of course the corner stone of that has been u.s. military aid, the sale of javelins, anti-tank javelins, and of course that's what is it at the heart of the impeachment investigation is whether that was dangled over the ukrainians in exchange for politically useful information for the president. >> give us a ballpark of how much military aid ukraine has received from the united states over the years? >> oh, i mean, millions and millions of dollars. the u.s. has invested so much in trying to support ukraine in cleaning it up, and that's part of what makes this whole situation really kind of sad is that, yo

russia treated us great they opened up we had to fly over certain russia areas russia held areas russia was great. iraq was excellent we really had great cooperation and you have to understand they didn't know what we were doing and where we were going exactly but the isis fighters are hated as much by russia and some of these other countries as they are by us and that's why i say they should start doing a lot of the fighting now and they'll be able to i really believe they'll be able to yes jennifer. gave us not a military role at all but they gave us some information that turned out to be helpful. the kurds. who was the role of. turkey we dealt with them they know we were going in. we flew over some territory they were terrific no problem they were not problem you know they could start shooting and then we will take them out but a lot of bad things can happen plus it was a very secret mission we flew very very low and very very fast but it was a big it was a very dangerous part of the mission getting in and getting out to equal we wanted in identical we took an identical route we met
