Still being debated today. Youre watching our 2 international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. Senior u. S. Journalists are once again fighting over russia with one t. V. Network now suing the host of another for describing them as paid russian propaganda are trying to house a story. Here comes a familiar voice which becomes even more familiar if we hear words like russia or russian the most obsequiously approach trump right wing news outlet in america really it literally is page correction propaganda for those who still didnt recognize that that was really literally Rachel Maddow speaking about the one American News network on her and this n. B. C. Show ill get to the point of reminding you how she keeps seeing russia everywhere in a moment but dont you think there must be someone out there who wont just swallow what the m s n b c star anchor says without hitting back with a decent jab well oh a ed is filing a defamation lawsuit they want 10000000 bucks one america is wholly operated and financed by the herring family in san diego they are as american as apple pie they are not paid by russia and have nothing to do with the russian government this is a false and malicious libel and theyre going to answer for it in a court of law to tell you about the reason for when Rachel Maddow said really literally which is supposed to mean definitely no doubt shares staff with the kremlin thats another thing she said its just that a one america journalist freelance work for a russian based News Agency Sputnik she got him busted so bad but as ive said earlier the number of times Rachel Maddow turned her show into a grand russian paranoia episode is just difficult to. Talk about to find out if the new president of our country is going to do with russia what. Is under attack from the president in the president s republican supporters in congress in the present conservative media supporters and also from the ongoing russian influence operation that is still. Around. What would happen if russia killed the power in fargo today what would happen if all the natural gas lines that surface and falls just on the coldest day in recent memory and it wasnt in our power whether or not to turn them back on no wonder that when some folks decided to put the m s n b c hosts russia gate obsession into a mathematical perspective they found she spent more time talking about russia than all other topics combined over a certain period. Now you know what it takes to become the most watched hosts in all of cable news she got to that milestone last year but one step by step it gets revealed that a lot of what you were saying was just a flow of blah blah you make up to win views the consequences do start haunting you 1st the ratings gradually went down and then the actual conclusions of the pro blood to wet is on air this is what the viewers saw when Rachel Maddow 1st realized the probe wasnt going the russia gaiters way and so we know the logistics of how we got the notification that it did and obviously right now we have mostly just a ton of questions as to what millers report says how complete it is who gets to see it who gets to decide who gets to see it and when. Now here comes the lawsuit the one i mentioned nothings decided yet but probably even more people will think twice next on the here really literally in that familiar voice. More than a year after the u. S. Pulled out of the Iran Nuclear DealPresident Donald Trump says that reaching an agreement with iran could actually be a good thing he also spoke about the recent sacking of his National Security advisor john bull. Much different country right now than there were 2 and a half years ago when i came into office would you consider easing sanctions toilet then to make a meeting happen well see what happens well see what happens i think iran has a tremendous tremendous potential. There incredible people that they have were not looking for regime change. We hope that we can make a deal or we can make a deal thats fine too john is somebody that i actually got along with very well. He made some very big mistakes and frankly he wanted to do things not necessarily tough for the millions of jobs known as a tough guy so tough youve got to send to iraq. Bolton was known for his aggressive approach to Foreign Policy and he took a particularly hard line with irans serious north korea and venezuela irans president has reacted to the news. Only clear young boy americans have to return. To the benefits they should not only abandon but also abandon their maximum pressure policy john boltons exit from the white house is a positive sign its also a sign that u. S. Policy towards iran is not working the idea behind maximal pressure was to do whatever they can to damage irans economy with the aim of overthrowing the iranian government that was something that bolton wanted and other people. Who would like my pump who are also interested in regime change in iraq probably need we think for his 20 twentieths actions he doesnt have any even. In Foreign Policy his policy of trying. To do working out a policy with north korea not working he couldnt get the venezuelan government overthrown this was one of the projects rouhani doesnt need. Behind the need sanctions lifted and. So is meeting with trump doesnt. Have any benefits for him personally or for the country as long as the sanctions are there and as i said its not really. Something certain that the sanctions would be lifted after. A visit by independent american journalist to syria has sparked outrage from some parts of the media after they traveled to government held areas to assess the countrys recovery they spoke with my colleague neil harvey. Im staying in the old city of damascus by the eastern gate of bob sharkey and i walked across the street across a highway into a neighborhood about a few 100 meters away that had been controlled for 4 months by Jaish Al Islam the wahhabi militia backed by saudi arabia and met residents who had actually lived under their fear craddick rule who described kidnappings rape of women people being executed in the street for violating the theocratic rule and how happy they were to be finally freed from this gang what i was observing was a city and outside of the city that is much much safer since i last was there last and i was in syria was 2 years ago there were still fighting it was still on save there were checkpoints everywhere now that the government has taken back many areas especially around accidents baskets outside of damascus you can travel to the suburbs and beyond the suburbs without going through a 1000000 checkpoints not being worried about being kidnapped or being sniped moreover our life has gone to a reasonable degree back to normal for a lot of people Max Blumenthal and running colic travel to the capital damascus with the aim of speaking to locals and observing serious recovery from eisel and they say they received no funding from the countrys government among those angered by the visit were journalists from c. N. N. And the intercept who accuse them of white washing and Government Support here are some of their reactions. This is some goebbels prancing around Syrian Government luxury tour. And milky Syrian Refugees who can never return to their country with their fish can be tortured to death started to read a certain journalists thread from inside damascus this am then found myself getting pell potations which progressed into spasms of rage how can anyone be so blindly credulous on the cossacks involved it is such a disgrace. L m a o ron and mocks are in damascus neither of them speak arabic yet they claim to be talking to many syrians there why arent they disclosing whos translating for them and helping them mount. This is to be expected and so theyre trying to intimidate americans or europeans and people from the west from coming here theyre trying to break off Cultural Exchange between us and average people who just happen to live in the area controlled by the Syrian Government where most syrians live and what weve been able to see and report already has threatened the narrative thats been conveyed by western Corporate Media and a pack of kind of dime a dozen correspondents acting as state department i mean i think the people attacking us have an agenda theyre either convinced that theyre right or theyre working on behalf of somebody else or both this isnt something were were thats new to us were used to it i think its why we can recognize an operation when we see one and this is if its very coordinated you know these people are talking in some d. M. Group and coordinating against us and its quite obvious and its not surprising we expected it and i you know i think its something that happens particularly any time anybody visits a government or the Syrian Government side. Of syria and offers a realistic perspective they can expect to be attacked but more importantly i think the reason there are so outraged by me and max is because me and max tend to be quite effective in offering a different perspective and offering a reality on the ground kind of perspective. The war on terror launched in response to the 911 attacks 18 years ago changed not just america but the whole world thats according to pakistans Prime Minister imran khan and an exclusive interview with r. T. Heres some of what he had to say. Well heard nor participated in the american war do of promoting to loom over were going. Being the words to the discussion tree by participating in the war and i repeat i was against it because you see. We were trading these people to do a job against the soviet when the org board of understand so these people were trained by pakistan funded by the american cia and no a decade later when the americans government of honest on the same groups were all in pakistan supposed to say that not because the americans are there its no longer job its terrorism you know it was a big contradiction and i strongly felt that pakistan should have been neutral because by joining in these groups turned against us so we you know we lost 70000 people we lost. Over 100000000000. 00 to the economy and in the end we were blamed for the for the the americans dont succeed in afghanistan i felt it was very unfair on pakistan. That full interview touches on a wide variety of topics from a potential nuclear war between india and pakistan to the Prime Ministers past as a successful cricketer and what aspects of the sport helped him in politics you can watch that on friday on our channel as well as r.

Still to come in the Program Experts warn germanys push for more Renewable Energy could threaten the countrys power supply that story and more after the break. You know world of big partners do a lot of things and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. The world is driven by dreamers shaped by the person of those great. Dares thinks. We dare to ask. Them back a dramatic reduction in Carbon Emissions and more energy from renewable sources thats what Angela Merkel once for the future and she has outlined germanys targets in front of car bosses at a major motor show. Its we must reduce transport produce fuel to emissions by 40 percent thats our twentys go to target suv an electro mobility though is just as worth a try for the future because cars will only be genuinely Climate Friendly once a look to cities comes from renewable sources. 65 percent of our Electricity Supply is come from renewables i 2030 the chancellor speech came a day after she was a key budget debate to call for more action on Climate Change but some experts warn that stricter regulations could put europes biggest economy in reverse r. T. L. A quarter takes a look at the gloomy forecast. If theres any country that could be the poster child of a green political agenda its most certainly germany its a Noble Pursuit no doubt but the green vanguard is learning the hard way that everything has a price thats in those 3 is industrialized countries also need to be on the front line in terms of doing something to overcome our Carbon Footprint and stop changes in the climate reverse the rise in temperature if we push for climate protection it will cost money this moneys well spent if we are going or if i think it will cost us more money thats the truth doing nothing is no alternative the fact is that we will then pay more for the captains of germanys car industry responded to merkels request with a resounding yes they unveiled their latest most futuristic electric cars in frankfurt after billions of euros of investment of course perhaps they were trying to take a step towards the flying cars of Science Fiction at any rate many are saying that paying for the future is only leading to the destruction of the present and can include the green socialist ideology is running our country and taking away any chance we have for the future your so called climate protection is nothing else than a monstrous Industrialization Program combined with variable job destruction you waste billions to avert imaginary doomsdays in the distant future were not just hearing this kind of talk from politicians though a new report says that renewables are threatening shortages in germanys Energy Supply and the country hasnt even come close to its Energy Transition goals germany is missing most of its selfimposed targets for the Energy Transition by 2020 at the same time Energy Supply security is being jeopardized in the medium term by the decision to phase out nuclear and coal emissions germanys over reliance on wind and solar energy has created a big deficit at times of little wind or sun the government has imported energy from neighboring countries to avoid blackouts and just to balance 2900 and. Budget germany had to foot a bill that skyrocketed to 38000. 00 euros for a megawatt of power per hour as compared to just 64. 00 euros in 2017 not to mention that every day germans pay the highest Energy Prices in all of europe we have to highest energy costs in the world the price for energy is the highest in the world because of this change of to supply system the situation is very ridiculous i mean they made a big fos last year for 2200. 00 hectares of forest for a coal mine in at the same time theyre cutting thousands of hectares of forest for wind mails killing hundreds thousands of animals i mean this is no green policy i mean right now the situation what we have in germany is that the green Party Started as an Environmental Party but now they change. Their climate used climate Paranoia Party which sacrifice everything for the climate situation oh no it doesnt matter human beings nature animals and the losses are all losses are justified this Energy Crisis may have germany teetering on the brink of recession and to stay afloat its going to need that world renowned powerhouse of an Auto Industry its built instead carmakers are being pressured to produce expensive electric cars that dont even sell that well volkswagens chief already warned that perhaps this is all going to for the Current Campaign against individual mobility and conventional cars is reaching and threatening level instead of using petrol or diesel will basically use coal even if were literally powered and in the worst case well even use league night but their idea of electric mobility to absurdity nevertheless environmental organizations are marching en masse on saturday joining them will be a brigade of cyclists calling for an end to the Combustion Engine hopefully it wont translate to an end to the German Economy germany was a very. Its a fun Energy Supply and everything everybody is used to energy is always available but with getting more and more of it mills into the into the system the system gets more and more in stable and we have seen in the last month several times the collets of Energy Supply system we passed by only very slightly governmental policy in germany is destructing our debate but one of our industry which is the car industry of course from germany for example works if they announced already beginning of this year that they want to go to reduce 20000. 00 people just because of the mobility only in germany its a big economic game for all competitors i mean plants are closing down here in germany because of their regulations and reopen in china where they can produce either to unlimited. Top u. S. Lawmakers are set to vote on a key element of the impeachment investigation surrounding the us president the 41. 00 c. Panel is now voting on impeachment itself but on the parameters of the investigation supporters of the probe hope it will strengthen their chances of gathering key evidence against trump on allegations of corruption and obstruction of justice but democrats have been sending mixed signals and explains. Democrats seem to be rolling ahead with their efforts to remove donald trump from office the House Judiciary Committee has just called for procedures related to its investigation of the president s wrong doing now for a lot of people that seems to put the smell of impeachment into the air their records on the House Judiciary Committee are expected to vote on expanding the impeachment inquiry into President Trump democrats taking formal steps towards impeachment this is an impeachment inquiry in search of something to impeach President Trump over so weve got 134 democrats voting to begin an impeachment inquiry what do they really mean it at this point the democrats cant even seem to agree on whats going on with the house judiciary investigation who have been in the midst of an impeachment investigation no were not in an impeachment investigation. The house is investigating to determine whether or not there should be an impeachment investigation so why might the democrats seem to be a little bit reluctant well in 2020 its not just the president ial race but theres also some local elections and it seems like impeaching trump isnt the best vote getter polls show that 72 percent of democrats favor impeaching donald trump but for the country overall 59 percent oppose that seems like bad news for the new progressive socialist wing of the democrats that seem to have that their entire house on it remember this were going to go in there were going to use the mother from would love it if the different democrats tried to impeach him its the kind of battle he loves the public is totally turned off its not following this controversy at all busy so i think it would definitely play into trumps hands it will do the democrats very little good in the 2020 alexion and probably will actually wind up backfiring virtually impossible if he could be convicted in the senate and removed from office so its just a its a lot of hot air over nothing now the problem for the democrats and removing donald trump is that according to the u. S. Constitution once the proceedings begin it would be the u. S. Senate that would then vote to convict and remove the president the constitution requires a 2 thirds vote among the senators and the democrats dont come anywhere near that so what would the charges be and all the most common answer youll get is obstruction of justice but theres a little bit of a problem with that we did not however make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime so obstructing an investigation into something that you did not do now you could certainly lock up an average joe for that but its a pretty weak case for driving a president from office some democrats even think that it would be bad for the country to impeach donald trump its important for us to think about what is in the best interest of the country and the american people. Oh and continuing to pursue impeachment is something that i think will only further tear our country apart speaker of the house nancy pelosi seems to be pouring cold water on the idea as well but she chooses her words very carefully take a listen when you go down a path like impeachment which is there if i said they could divide the country whatever decision we made in that regard would have to be done with our strongest possible hand the democrats have accused donald trump of being a criminal a traitor and a fascist theyve got their supporters out for his blood but it looks like if they actually go for it this might backfire in the long term caleb mop and ard see new york thats a global news update for this hour but dont forget you can always head to our web site our team dot com for the details on all those stories and many more. Pain years and started 10 years i think its time to shake things up maybe change the branding maybe the format here is what ive been thinking about next season related episodes filmed on an island 10 experts cited out for a trophy what do you think ok a more affordable option 25 text birds. And one red rose another suggestion geopolitical jeopardy parody no political cookout where we will literally wrote the elites. Late night show its a rare form of these days and its cheap all you need is an old microphone in a printed banner but to leave me with one of my guess i can do this campbell after politics gone wild like music. Ok crosstalk is not about hype its about meaning 10 years of talk and still going strong. Peter if you want to change something why dont we get rid of the. No that is too much. Today there are good terrorists and bad editors the bad terrorists and those in yemen who the United States deems to be a threat the looked at those award in syria the cia and the us military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. Where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up the right way military juntas funding an army of death squads theres no any more because theres always a small. Really good. Profit. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show. To get us to the world of politics. Im showbusiness ill see you then. Greetings and sally was 18 years ago on that fateful Tuesday Morning in september the United States of america took its 1st step forward into a future that many saw coming with few imagined could take place the country was forever changed by hijacked jets and mad men by anthrax letters and box cutters the United States was changed by our thirst for vengeance gone was our principles gone was our morality gone was our reason our 1st step forward into the post 911 world was not won based on justice self reflection or true morning instead our 1st stop was one built on revenge hubris and insecurity 3 sins that even today we are still playing on our fiddles even though they continue to burn down our Foreign Policy constitution and National Character but now 18 years later there is finally some glimmers of hope on wednesday september 4th just one week before the 18th anniversary of the 911 attacks the United States judge declared that the terrorist screening database better known as the terror watch list was indeed unconstitutional the ruling sprang from a lawsuit brought forward by a group of 23 americans represented by the council on American Islamic relations who filed a lawsuit charging that their inclusion on the watch list violated their rights to due process. In his 32 page ruling federal judge anthony triangle wrote that the Court Concludes that the risk of erroneous deprivation of plaintiffs travel related and reputation to liberty interest is high and the currently existing procedural safeguards are not sufficient to address that risk so today in the 18 years shadow of 911 lets examine this historic decision as well as other important 911 court cases as we start watching the homes. That got. Sick
