In one day worldwide News Headlines live from moscow this is r. T. International a very warm welcome to. A former cia director has admitted the u. S. Has interfered in other countries elections and Domestic Affairs when it was quote for a good cause. Looks at whether double standards are at play no one likes a spoiler. Interference especially when it comes to american elections. And spoiled and unsightly or they were before the russians got to them they say but judge not lest ye be judged especially when you have a fetish for getting your fingers into foreign elections when we dont mess around other people. I am only for a very good didnt do a vine video on a former cia for a very good cause. Said the former director of the cia its funny because and when america does it when someone elses even suspected of doing it no no no no bad bad did the russians break the rules or do something bizarre the answer is no not at all said a thirty year veteran of the cia come on the cia root the book on meddling. Weve been doing this kind of thing since the cia was created in one thousand nine hundred seven weve used posters pamphlets mailers banners you name it weve planted false information for newspapers weve used with the british call king georges calorie suitcases of cash add to that assassinations coups Information Warfare hacking and thats just the stuff we know about this the johnson that helped oversee the cias exhibit g. s hed know the difference is they say when russia does it its to destroy the woold even when that meddling has no actual impact on the elections as even the Justice Department just admitted when america doesnt so the greater good democracy and all that you could ask of course how on earth overthrowing democratically elected leaders such as the cia has done is helping democracy how sending billions of dollars worth of guns to gulf dictators is helping democracy but dont well the United States has been interfering in other countries elections since the one nine hundred thirty s. And in the caribbean and in latin america when i was in cia in the seventys and eightys in europe i would say that the that the cia and the u. S. Government basically were interfering in elections almost every election that was taking place in europe this was just routine that the us wanted a friendly government of a certain type and was willing to do certain things to enable that to happen if were going to claim that america has the right to interfere behind the scenes in the politics of another country. Its a little hypocritical for then america to say oh yeah russian intelligence has been interfering in american elections. You dont get to have it both ways. An iranian American Fashion blogger has been dubbed unamerican for criticizing u. S. Policies she was giving a t. V. Interview to talk about her book on terror on street fashion when she was suddenly asked about irans alleged Nuclear Program but she did turn the question around asking her interview was about american policies in the region heres a snippet from the interview lets talk about Nuclear Weapons ok because some of our viewers may say we cannot trust iran what are your thoughts i mean i dont think we can trust this country i mean what has this country done to the majority of the countries in the middle east youre an american i dont like an american the host of an excuse not sounding like an american as you just heard when she questioned washingtons Foreign Policy in the middle east and she did speak to us about the exchange i was really shocked by by the question of the statement but also i think it also goes back to sort of the place that muslims in america are constantly put themselves in that we have to constantly prove that were american enough to deserve respect deserve not being bombed or banned which all of which this country and other western countries are also involved in in the middle east and and then the second that we sort of criticize the state for what theyve actually done were deemed unamerican. He also told r. T. Shes been flattered by the positive comments shes received online tweets ranged from surprised to praise for the blogger for speaking freely and he was cut again commenting on freedom of expression and on going viral. I. Unfortunately i guess after the fact i wasnt too surprised because muslims and people of color in this country and across the west are constantly put in positions where were constantly kind of being used both as a term as a way of sort of talking about our maybe having to respond for our Government Policies back abroad but then having to blindly questionably sort of pray allegiance to this country who might be involved in violence in our country. I think that this sort of these are sort of underlying microaggression is that happen every single day and its not just me this is happened to i was just lucky enough that this is live and i was able to record it and then being able to share online but this happens constantly every single day all the time for any Single Person who is a person of color a muslim that they constantly are kind of having to do with micrographs things that are so normalized within society and so thats why one thing that i really appreciate about sort of the fire ality of this is that people are really standing up now and saying this is not normal this is not ok we shouldnt allow this from happening iran has also been a talking point at the Munich Security Conference where israels Prime Minister whos a vigorous opponent of the Iran Nuclear Deal did not miss the chance to criticize the agreement he said the deal had quote unleashed a dangerous iranian tiger and called for it to be scrapped bold Binyamin Netanyahu also hinted israel might get involved in syria to counter iran used his munich speech to warn against a growing threat from toronto. This is a brief. A brief description of the middle east as it looks like though i call it the red in the black the red is isis. The radical sunnis the black is iran and its offshoots the radical shiites as the red compresses. And it will be wiped out very soon from the map of the middle east iran is moving in and irans involvement in syria has long been a critical issue for israel but now the Prime Ministers rhetoric may even be time for actions to speak louder than words so he wont is changing the ground rules in syria ive said we will not allow them to do that if mr us invites iran in militarily. That changes our position such words werent enough Benjamin Netanyahu brought them visual aids said to be part of an iranian drone the israelis intercepted as it crossed the syrian Israeli Border worryingly the drone incident is being called the first known direct confrontation between the two sides militaries and prompted israel to hit iranian targets in syria mr zarif. Do you recognize this. You should be george. You can take back with you a message to the tyrants of tyranny. Do not trust israels resolve the rainy and foreign minister mohammad job and serif later took his chance to hit back you are. The audience for a cartoon a secret is. Because we were on the right side of history fighting the taliban fighting the. Fighting fighting consistently instead of joining those who supported. In creation in financing and the army actually israels confrontation with iran break out as netanyahu hints where do you think the likely battleground would be syria a terrifying thought considering the countrys already devastated by conflict the situation there is complicated enough with the turkish kurdish americans triangle in kurdish regions and Syrian Armed Forces battling the remains of terrorist groups with the help of russian jets and just when you thought the situation in syria couldnt get any messier here are these trying to strengthen its influence in syria not because of is because of its own regional interests. Prevent any kind of go vote. And in the war in syria it is none of its business and theyre far we get the better it is i understand these very concerns i understand the fears from Iranian Military presence on the border but in any case the fact that iran is now present in syria is something that can will be solved by force cant all be solved by war could all be solved by bombarding and these are should realize. A dutch shipping group is facing accusations of selling a number of vessels with harmful waste to scrapyards and turkey and india adding to environmental and Health Problems but also violating e. U. Laws. Now the case is playing out in dutch courts the prosecution is alleging the ships sold to be broken apart in india and turkey contained a number of toxic substances which should have been removed and recycled in a safe way it also cites the alleged impact of the chemicals on recycling workers and the environment in those countries a hefty fine of a breach of e. U. Waste in the woods is being sought if convicted the shipping of bosses could face up to six months in prison now for its part the company has rejected any wrongdoing at the defense for the Sea Trade Group the ships only qualify as waste once they reach their final destination and dont fall under e. U. Environmental rules as turkey and india are beyond his jurisdiction a lack of proper regulation in the industry is one of the problems highlighted by the Ship Breaking platform and geo. The trade is a Dutch Company and certainly in two thousand and twelve the conditions at the in south asia were well known to any European Company so the choice trade made was for the highest price. Of higher prices because they do not pay for the proper Waste Management the proper infrastructure and they use Migrant Workers that are not trained indeed unfortunately is a very common practice more than eighty percent of the world tonnage is currently broken on three title beaches in the world one in india one in bangladesh and one in pakistan this activity causes pollution. The groundwater there is also very dangerous for the work is if they fall from heights there are explosions they will be crushed by steel plates so its basically an industry which is very poorly regulated a former cia agent time to whistleblower has been released early from prison we will have a look at his case just about. Manufacture. Public wealth. Plus a project himself. Be the one. Making the room sick. Little blog. Dropping bombs brings to the Chicken Hawks more so you know the battle. New socks for the tell you the gossip the tabloids. Tell you. All we. Want. Thanks for joining us here on r. T. Former cia whistleblower jeffrey sterling has been released from prison he revealed a cia mismanagement of a classified program to the u. S. Senate and was later sentenced under the espionage act to three and a half years sterling was freed after serving over two years of that sentence however sterling was not actually jailed for what he told senators instead he was actually accused of leaking classified information that he had shared with the senate to a journalist in fact his sentence was softer than the usual nineteen years minimum reportedly that was because all of the evidence against him was circumstantial. A former u. S. Senate candidate who petition for sterlings release explains how he ended up being treated as a traitor. There are times reporter james right now with the intercept was having about fifty conversations back and forth with jeffrey and then james writes and released a book about two thousand and five called state of war in which he disclosed the cias botched release of Nuclear Plans to iran even jeffrey tried to tell a Senate Intelligence committee about this information they tried to go after james rise and to find out who his source was just around that same time they arrested jeffrey they dropped a rise in case because obama did not want to go after a reporter because the heat was on obama in the Obama Administration because he was going after a journalist the judge who sentenced styling stated that while in a puppet world every criminal case would be decided using direct evidence often thats not possible on the main county again and says that they had nothing but circumstantial evidence they went and took geoffrey to court the only type of evidence that they had was circumstantial evidence and cia agents saying that it was a disgruntled employee that released information because of his discrimination case jeffrey has maintained his innocence for almost seventeen years and the New York Times which originally published the story of stonings lawsuit against the cia has not covered his release on macone says that many journalists have simply forgotten about jeffrey stunning. Journalists are never asked about are asking about jeffrey sterling or talking about it and this is a man who has become an invisible man up for batman who is in my mind a hero and the a. C. L. U. With me even handled this case and so we have to reach out to other types of out which are unable to tell his story. And i limp athlete from russia has tested positive for doping at the Winter Olympics in south korea the court of arbitration for sport is now reviewing the case with the World Antidoping Agency expected to announce the results of a second round of tests later on monday the athlete in question is a mixed doubles alexander at a crucial need ski he and his wife won bronze and young child the first olympic curling medal ever for russian athletes lets cross live to young china to try and get now india can you take us through whats been happening. Rory hi well right now it is all down to that second doping test and if it happens to be positive that will be a real disappointment for many people i can tell you that the crowd and young chang have literally fall in love with the russian couple alexander because their needs and to see in brazil are husband and wife as you were saying they won the country its first olympic curling medal ever and to watch their family teamwork on ice was indeed something inspiring the media went on about the couple for a few days in a row and they were even compared to mr and mrs smith but now alexander is suspected of taking. The infamous drug that had been banned until. A couple of years ago and it once cost Maria Sharapova a year of her career when her team forgot to put it on the list of do not take substances in all honestly and alexanders case to really think that he had made the same mistake or had done a on purpose that would really be something ridiculous when the team are under such a close watch here and young chang because he leads he believes that someone could have spiked his food or drinks with in any case the International OlympicCommittee House promised that they will launch a special probe but that will happen after the Olympic Games are over and the meantime the olympic athletes from russia are getting on with their quest for medals here and despite all the pressure despite some of the biggest stars missing the owais are have secured some drawings and silver the crosscountry skiing team that were teenagers just a year or two ago are doing particularly well with five medals but no gold so far all right auntie deliberate i got to live in pyongyang thank you.

You know he has said christmas has said thats his drink poison spite or Training Camp that you. Do see on like he got he took it however it was a little bit of information came out overnight that his former or his coach but said thats all he has he stopped taking the dog back into tears a sixty when it was bought and we have to give him the benefit of the doubt we see a lot of the beast beast analysts as a positive we need to find out exactly what happened but again it goes back to you know it will be we said last week sitting as you say not to get caught for dope in the olympics you have to be very very silly and i dont think that crucially ski is really.
