First the report details efforts by the Internet Research agency a Russian Company with close ties to the russian government to sow social discord among American Voters through descent from asian and social Media Operations he said Russian Operations or russian state of russian government operation the Internet Research agency there they called the troll farm in the United States in the media theyre accused of spreading disinformation of Backing Trump denigrating Hillary Clinton spreading fake news meddling in the election theyre currently fighting a legal battle against the United States government and the judge has ordered the government to refrain from linking these companies the Internet Research agency and the russian government because in the Mueller Report said in the new report that they link this company to the russian government theyre carrying out orders on behalf of the russian government they offered proof saying the head of this Internet Research agency is an ally of lied to me a putin that theyve had a number of government contracts and they leave it at that thats supposed to establish that the company was acting on behalf of an extension of the russian government in the indictment the legal document with the charges with the accusations they make new such link they call them a private entity a private company a federal judge now ordering the.

The British Ambassador to the United States has announced hes stepping down after a series of highly critical comments he made about the trumpet ministration were leaked to the press in confidential cables sent back to officials in london the diplomatic describe the white house as dysfunctional inept and chaotic. Since the leak of official documents from this embassy there has been a great deal of speculation surrounding my position and that you ration of my remaining term as ambassador i want to put an end to that speculation the Current Situation is making it impossible for me to carry out my role as i would like britains most senior diplomat has been forced to resign and that comes after donald trump the president of the United States that he no longer be able to deal with him he emails to the United Kingdom they in fact were leaked and they describe Donald Trumps administration as inept now this political scandal has been on ruffling over the last few days Prime Minister to resign may and the labor leader Jeremy Corbyn they were able to publicly back him in fact they said it was regrettable that he was forced to resign and theresa may went a step further in the house of commons earlier today explaining that british diplomats and politicians should be able to stand up for the principles they believe and if indeed they feel theyre under attack this is a matter of great regret that he has felt it necessary to leave his position so. The. Whole cabinet rightly gave its full support to the kim on tuesday so kim has given a kidney has given a life time of service to the United Kingdom and an enormous debt of gratitude. Now it must be said that these robust assessments are in fact. Tiernan secure Diplomatic Communications but of course donald trump has taken to his favorite platform of social media of twitter to vocalize his anger in fact calling for kim a stupid guy now it must be says that number 10 has tried to distance itself from 2nd direct assessments and communications by saying that they do not really support the u. K. Governments opinions having said that its not up to number 10 nor theresa may and what they have to say in fact all eyes are now on forest johnson or jeremy hines of course one of the 2 will become the next Prime Minister and both of them have very different opinions when it comes to this political saga the what he ambassador that the u. K. For we stood upon the United States is not someone we are thrilled with a very stupid guy he should speak to his country and Prime Minister may about their failed briggss negotiation and not be upset with my criticism of how badly it was donald trump friends speak frankly so i will these comments a disrespectful and wrong to our Prime Minister and my country you said the u. K. U. S. Alliance was the greatest in history and i agree but i need to treat each other with respect and a series of me is always done with you ive got a Good Relationship with the white house and ive had no embarrassment in saying that the United States is has been will be for the foreseeable future our number one political military friend well there you had the gaffe prone guy Boris Johnson with his usual explicit flair and of course this has angered many in the house of commons who are deeply critical of Boris Johnson starts in fact that also includes the Foreign Office minister sir alan duncan and hes accused mr johnson of throwing the ambassador under a bus now we do know that the British Government has announced a full scale investigation into how these unvarnished thoughts of kim derek ended up on the front pages of a National Newspaper over the weekend following that many really are enraged and they were. We do believe that this is a very bad day for british diplomacy a very bad day for and to American Relations because they consider the foreman. Of the u. K. To the United States as a man who has been hailed with the height of professionalism and. In todays going on the ground on r t a former White House Communications director tells action returns he believes the British Ambassador was the victim of a political hit job inside the Foreign Office we asked who if anyone might stand to benefit from silicon departure. Well it goes Boris Johnson presumably the new Prime Minister of this country and was the foreign secretary and had access to all manner of the intelligence operators but of course in a sense this is also mysterious and i did ask and hes going about this we know through Edward Snowden who is daken asylum in moscow that the 5 eyes project indeed the National Security agency they have access to encrypted emails all around the world why did it take a leak from london to a british newspaper to inform donald trump that britains man in washington had such a low opinion of donald trump do they not know these things without people here for whatever political reasons for whatever whatever hit me and reasons they can they just get it from surveillance do they really need it leaked because of internal politics here that is about the succession of to resume in downing street. Its known as the largest tank battle of the 2nd world war and a turning point for the allied forces but now the battle of prokhorov careers being called into question by a german journalist and historian he claims that there was no massive struggle of attrition back in 1943 or Red Army Victory spend felix koloff findings are based on british and german historians using newly released us archive pictures he said the red army succeeded in defeating only 5 nazi tanks while the soviets lost more than 200 those numbers are in stark contrast to those in the russian archives that say the soviet army destroyed up to 400 tanks in the battle lets talk about dr ski hes a political analyst hi there are some special historical knowledge changes as evidence comes to light over the years but this change in the numbers does it risk undermining the undisputed fact that this battle was still a turning point in the ball. Of course not because its obvious it was a turning point because from this battle up to the end of the war German Forces lost initiative and soviet forces took initiatives of course we can. Change our mind about details and very important ones about losses especially german losses and soviet losses but on destructed point of view it doesnt chance the basic results of course. And the lives things on do your banks how many losses were on one side or the other side. But what cannot jones is dives short yet and the result of it from death dying of the up to the end of the war and drummed up dime german couldnt. Recover and. Put on defense so it doesnt change a lot its just you know political situation makes sometimes key story in the you know leading to is different. Mobs and different. Trends but basically you know. What happened what we know happened during the war is always more or less confirmed later and even if details. That political focus they are mentioning there that starts today is there a danger that cal findings though will draw focus away from the death and sacrifices of 70 years ago. Yes of course the question you know question thats soviet did. Is is unquestionable question is the price of this victory and of course the questions also political because we know of doubt 2nd world war is you know tom diamond of the legs it to me see also if you know of course but also now against russia and thats why history is always used by politicians what i would prefer of course is Something Like you know any scientific conference which germans russian the british and other historians discussing those those those questions. Knox you know articles in some no we have yes we need you know very strong discussion and very long term works in the archives. But you know the rhythm of history is long and of politics are very short. With this new information of in calls for the removal of a poignant memorial to this incidence in the 2nd world war i do think people are going to react to calls to take down a wall of a more sinister if said i did you call it war because anyway what happened in kursk and in all the battle of course was very important so its normal that there isnt any more you and we can the discuss about Different Things but we cannot discuss about it was a very important event and its normal where an important event are going to have many more years we can even change you know our minds about even now we change our minds about the abound battle during the 1st world war but nobody would think about you know you have to take out the memoir you love the battle because. The story and how its changed there are there are a preservation of a different aspect of the same thing you know for us their lives battle or what their new battle is and long you know its so its pointless to to to discuss about doc but its of course a political observer. Put in the western ready culture is for the moment because you know we know the what are the relations between west and russia exactly where the lives are lost they should never be forgotten ok for now professor thanks for your time and thank you. Without a global conference on Media Freedoms begun and london guess whos not been invited though plenty more about that after the break. The 3rd. Afrikan 1st for thats part of it its a for a wealthy country a sum of all the. Stock markets that are owned by. Percent of the population most of us. And there are what else is more and its a condition that the core americans dont want to cop to its hard for but the fact is now you 150000000 more people america. If you try and be professional you try and leave it outside the door you try and put it in the common compartment eyes its in your brain and so you can forget about it but little by little. These little whispers come and for me it was actually putting some ice into my wifes glass of gin and. The saw it on the sound on the screen to the glass reminded me of how we go to school in bali which was with bags of supermarkets. A sex trafficking and child abuse trial of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein is spilling over into the white house with President Trump forced to defend his labor secretary alex acosta on a cost it was a u. S. Attorney in miami he signed off a plea agreement in an earlier case involving epstein which critics say was far too lenient. Its been a great really great secretary of labor you know the rest of it will have to look at we have to look at it very carefully but youre talking about a long time ago and again it was a decision made i think not by him but by a lot of people so were going to look at it very carefully Jeffrey Epstein whos a registered sex offender is accused of trafficking and luring dozens of underage girls to his mansion if found guilty he may face up to 45 years in prison now the democratic leadership is putting pressure on double trump and his team over a potential obstruction of justice. Secretary costa must step down as u. S. Attorney he engaged in the conscionable agreement with jeffrey abstain kept secret from courageous young victims prevented them from seeking justice this was nailed by the president of the us when he appointed him to the cabinet i am calling on secretary acosta to resign instead of prosecuting a predator and serial sex trafficker of children. A constant is to let him see Jeffrey Epstein a billionaire caught trafficking underage girls between 20022005 has been arrested yet again this time after horrendous new evidence came to life beginning at least 2002 and continuing until 2000. And seen is alleged to have dozens of victims epstein is well connected and he has evaded these charges for years thanks to a deal he made with the costa when he was the u. S. Attorney in miami instead of being charged with sex trafficking and child rape he only pled guilty to a lesser charge of soliciting prostitution from a minor while serving his time epstein had up to 12 hours a day 6 days a week as a work release at his Downtown Office he served only 13 months before then being released on probation during his probation epstein took numerous trips to both the Virgin Islands and new york city in his private jet and a new evidence has forced a costa now come forward and defend his decision to give such special treatment to a sexual predator. With the evidence available more than a decade ago federal prosecutors. Go to jail register as a sex offender and put the wote on notice that he was a sexual predator now that you havent seen additional testimonies available the new prosecution offers an important opportunity to more fully bring him to justice so democrats just heard about this sweetheart deal and are filled with outrage well actually know theyve known about it for quite some time this is a cost his confirmation hearing back in 27 seen the lawsuit questions why trumps nominee for labor secretary former miami u. S. Attorney you know xander across to cut a nonprosecution deal with epstein a decade ago rather than pursuing a federal indictment in fact the nature of a cost as punishment if you can really call it that was never secret the department of. This has defended the actions of the office in that matter under both president bush and president obamas administrations so why the sudden outrage well according to Chuck Schumer timing is everything the president needs to answer for his statements he has made about his relationship with mr epstein particularly since President Trump appointed mr acosta to such a powerful position see the issue is that a trumpet ministration official is now caught up in the outrage around Jeffrey Epstein and trump indeed does have some skeletons in his closet when it comes to the epstein case epstein visited mara largo however according to the attorney who represents one of epsteins victims trump threw him out after he started making passes at underage girls on the property furthermore trump seems to be the only prominent individual actually cooperated with the investigation into epsteins crimes trump is the only person who picked up the phone and said lets just too much time as you want to we will we need to know it was very helpful so that does not put trump in the clear he certainly was familiar with the sexual predator however so was bill clinton the former president actually took 27 different flights on Jeffrey Epsteins private airplanes some of them without being accompanied by secret service and there are rumors circulating that there were underage girls on the plane clinton had his secret service with him and many times he did not almost every time that clintons name is on the pilot logs there are underage girls there are initials and there are names of many many girls on that. Private plane but clinton is just background noise right now epstein fits in with the anti trump chorus from Mainstream Media the federal sex trafficking case against donald trump old friend Jeffrey Epstein times to both the president and notably his labor secretary alex our costume the man who cut that deal with him that was his job then now that labor secretary hes got supporters are part of this administration so perhaps the victims in this case should be happy that donald trump was elected after all until trumps name was brought in and attached to the case there seemed to be far less interest an outrage about epsteins atrocious crimes from certain voices. Artsy new york. Bubble conference for Media Freedom is underway in london cohosted by britain and canada. And Russian Spy Agency and from the polity. Is nearby. 60 minutes is the thousands of reports and thousands of esteemed members of Civil Society and academics are all due to attend this inaugural conference on Media Freedoms around the world its hosted by the u. K. In the canadian government here in london one of the special guests is a certain a mole clooney the International Human rights lawyer also the wife to the hollywood Actor George Clooney shes been appointed britains special envoy on Media Freedoms here at this event the gates to which is just behind me but guess who isnt going to be inside thats right its me here i am billy no mates outside left out in the cold because myself and my arty colleagues im also colleagues that sputnik which is the other russian News Organization that broadcast in english weve all been banned from attending the global conference on Media Freedoms we applied in good time for press accreditation like all the other Media Outlets and we received a pretty standard stock reply i said unfortunately we have been unable to approve your application to a credit as media i think that should have been a warning sign but we thought maybe we just theyve run out of space theres nothing specifically about us in that reply but behind our backs other news channels got a very different message we have not accredited our team or sputnik because of their active role in spreading disinformation well its not possible to accommodate all requests for recruited fiction journalists from across the worlds media are attending the conference including from russia the russian government isnt impressed with this lack of hospitality to say the least the Russian Embassy here in london has written to. The Foreign Office to express its expressed resolute disagreement with what has taken place and Russias Foreign Ministry spokesperson maria zahar of are also weighed in take a listen the organizers demonstrated their true intentions in 2 to Media Freedom by turning the event into the means of achieving opportunistic political and we believe other countries and responsible journalists will draw their appropriate conclusions and we hope that human rights n. G. O. S and Relevant International actions hes will not shy away from stating their position. And the arts the News Organization itself has released a statement take a listen it takes a particular brand of hypocrisy to advocate for freedom of press banning inconvenient voices and slandering alternative media. The world has learned to expect just that from the u. K. Foreign office are not the only journalists that cant attend the global conference on Media Freedoms i dont want to compare myself to Julian Assange but the editor of wiki leaks is currently incarcerated in a prison. And there is a small demonstration here calling for his release chanting freedom to Julian Assange and now julian the songes mother found out about r c not being allowed to attend and shes tweeted her response take a listen to why she thinks we havent been allowed maybe r. T. Will still listen practicing Media Freedom by reporting the facts of the political persecution of my son journalist giuliana sons nor to nor to you dont you realize you were supposed to get Us Government clearance 1st then and only then are you free to publish now one more important thing to note here which i think is quite curious is that all the russian state funded news outlets which broadcast in russia so some colleagues of mine here. There in london has been allowed they have been accredited and they have been inside attending the conference as for me im out here ive got my eyes are less the same restaurant. Of former European Parliament member stephen balls says as he said the b. B. C. And r. T. Arent all that different but london is sending a clear message to moscow well i think ati is being singled out obviously because its seen by the Foreign Office and many politicians both here in the United Kingdom in europe and the United States as being the voice in vehicle of the russian government will want to argue that the b. B. C. In many ways is the voice of the british establishment particularly if you look at the way that the European Union and the referendum and the brics issue is being discussed upon by the b. B. C. So i think what it is is the Foreign Office is very clearly making a statement to president putin and the russian establishment that we will not have your voice listened to in europe and we will try and stop it if we can. Ok thats the way it looks from moscow this hour thanks for watching our next doughty news follows boom bust. Play. Live. Play. Floor. Play. Plz. Plz. Plz plz. Plz. Plz. Plz. O. Please. Play it.
