Speak on the grounds that im sorry to say it does happen im glad to say its not absolutely widespread. A warm welcome youre watching r. T. International with me nicky aaron. And i mustnt be see host has been forced into a fake news apology after a bombshell report on donald trump and his ties to russia it was claimed the us president had russian oligarchs cosign loans for him with Deutsche Bank but the story bank find it appeared that the source hadnt checked the facts of a. In news the loudest the most sensational is the most explosive is often the winner media is a ratings driven economy and this week m. S. N. B c opted for nuclear reporting and this Single Source close to a generic has told me. That the trump doll trumps longer arguments there show. That he has cosigners thats how he was able to obtain those loans and that the cosigners are russian oligarchs of that time Lawrence Odonnell the host seem to have little doubt in the news he broke. That would explain it seems to me every kind word donald trump has ever said about russia and Vladimir Putin but then came the fallout and just like the reports all wood was nuclear indeed and it came back to haunt m s n b c these statements are false and defamatory and extremely damaging. Can easily be proven based on your reckless disregard of the truth and unreasonable reliance on an alleged boss he will not even identify a news story and is likely seeking to mislead you and the public for political reasons or other all teary motives the channel was at a crossroads a stick to your guns and fight a potential 1000000. 00 lawsuit in court or own up to the mistake and apparently this time the source wasnt solid enough to risk financial and reputational damage. Tonight we are retracting the story we dont know whether the information is inaccurate but the fact is we do know it wasnt ready for broadcast and for that i apologize or dont know left his foot in the door he still said he didnt know if the story was 100 percent fools but since the story didnt go through the rigorous verification and standards process it was unfit for the and by the way if we take trumps lawyers word for it a Google Search would have passed for rigorous to show the story was untrue it seems emerson b. C. s very few proses isnt exactly bulletproof news for you will in the 1st place or a very short defense russia can just shut off the electricity they have that ability now and it is like negative 50 degrees in the dakotas right now what would happen if russia killed the power in fargo today and intelligence officials now believe with a high level of confidence that russian president Vladimir Putin was personally involved in a covert effort to interfere in americas president ial race the only thing we do know is that putins enemies have a way of turning up dead and that evidence has a way of being meticulously covered up. Lets go live now to legal and media and this line a line oh lovely to have you on the program with is that now tell me why would m. S. M. B. C. Run with this story before its verified this source. Because they apparently why would they as when they have absolutely no idea of what theyre doing and dont care about the repercussions the word actual malice is very interesting here at a couple of points we have a sitting president who was actually thinking about or contemplating through his counsel a lawsuit. This is weve never seen this before because normally whenever a president is misquoted or something goes wrong people have always said well this is just a political type of a controversy and does not rise to the level in terms of the era being still agree just that a lawsuit is warranted that changes here the word actual malice is very important under the New York Times versus sullivan case of 1964 when you have a public figure in this particular case donald trump the president who was suing he has to show that the alleged defamatory statement was the product of actual malice either that the individuals knew it was wrong or they use and heres a word reckless disregard for the facts this is textbook reckless disregard for the facts and for them to have to and all of the way they say this walk it back even the euphemism walk it back no theyre saying we have no basis for this and even to show you this this slithery. Negotiation of an apology or he says well it wasnt broadcast worthy because its not true this did not necessarily satisfy Network Standards because its not true even they cant even up our job was just to say were sorry we made a mistake they cant do it heres the bottom line you know what happens from this nothing. If we just move on to what is fine no problem thats it there is a case that media outlet i think about of lazing with verification if its a science and narrative especially because we still saw news from various places like social media these days. If i told you that you would never get a speeding ticket or a traffic citation no matter how fast you drove your car through the streets would you care about the speed limit no if i told you dont worry nothing will happen to you you can use your sensibilities or you can drive as fast as you want risking peoples lives that the case here nothing happens theyre not worried about it nobodys screaming that this is theirs the showing intellectual or journalistic errors they think theres nothing ever happens theres a big deal you heard Rachel Maddow who by the way student says ive got this big story the president s tax returns let me explain to everybody your tax returns dont tell you anything that they think these tax returns show they just tell you how much income or you declaring dont know where the money is but it didnt matter it didnt matter because nothing happens to them they are at the ratings basement there are Baby Monitors that have higher ratings than this they dont care and as soon as theyre done with this lie theyll go to the next slide because they can drive as fast as they want through the street called mendacity and its not even journalism its not even remotely that its i can say what i want. And if it rome ok war give a little bit of an apple logic and move on not even a slap on the wrist nothing. Line illegal and media analyst thank you for your time. 3 years after a majority of brits voted to leave the e. U. And with Parliament Still paralyzed and suffering from a severe crisis of legitimacy Boris Johnson has decided to shut it down the radical movements that are out of the suspension takes effect that lawmakers will not reconvene until 2 weeks before the break that deadline that would leave them little time to pass legislation preventing a no deal departure Saskia Taylor reports. Boris johnson is being well boris hes being bold as brass and he wants breakfast come what may rather. What you do when parliament wont play ball you suspend it he needed how much permission to do that which he thought we dont get a week into october the 31st before getting on with our plans to take this country forward we are going to have a queens speech and were going to do it all october 14th and weve got to move ahead with a new program but why cant the lawmakers a quick refresher if youve been avoiding the news because you just cant take the b. Word anymore for a number 1010 and to resume a whos carney getting away from it all hiking in the swiss alps spent 3 years trying to deliver after the referendum something we are definitely clear on bricks it means bricks it bricks it needs threats it wrecks it means bricks it and were going to make a success of it but parliament had other ideas patchy shouting had out even what have her key points had her reaching for her water then she found that brussels wasnt very happy about how to bit to old blighty and wouldnt budge on key points like the irish backstop to maintain a seamless border on the emerald isle they managed to thrash out a deal though and may tried 3 times to push it through parliament no luck so she shared a tear and left i do so with no ill will but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country i love. And to Boris Johnson ardent bricks a tear and leave camp figurehead johnson promised to take the u. K. Out of the European Union by how do we deal oh no deal and thats really riled so where are we now well just 2 months from b. Day and with Parliament Due to be suspended before its. Even got going and p. S. Will only have 2 weeks to try to block a new deal brant said everyones crying foul saying its a constitutional crisis others though have just had enough hes gone on for so long now we just need to get on with it because its just causing more trouble whole process is discussed in. Parliament is being bypassed and. Not democratic its a catastrophe so anybody who tried to bring it in would be called to disaster anyway we should care what the people voted for i think its a constitutional outrage he wants to see. You know when. Its self important little man will blame any problems on others and he will be patted on the back for delivering bricks and when an election thats what he sees Boris Johnson should do everything he could. To get back to if you cant get it through hes out although where is cynics point out that whats really on democratic our m. P. s in westminster spending 3 years in piles of taxpayers money by dithering over to leg breck said ok perhaps it was a little rogue ish to disrupt the queens Summer Holiday in scotland and maybe suspending parliament was quite drastic for whats supposed to be a parliamentary democracy thats apparently taking back control but then this is Boris Johnson whos never been one for the convention and it has been 3 years already just about every hour for new explored every negotiation tactic used every amendment can sit it so maybe just maybe its going to get his way and bill does britain away from brussels. R. T. London. Environmental activists have reacted with anger after the merge that nestle is seeking permission to extract millions of liters of water a day from natural springs in florida sun to fail river is part of a push by the food and beverage come. To increase its bottled water production the river runs through the north of the state and is rich in biodiversity among the animal species that live there are for instance 15 breeds of turtles its ecosystems are already considered to be at risk though due to years of overpumping indigenous communities in neighboring canada have also been complaining of nestles activity saying theyve been losing access to clean water theyve launched a petition calling on their government to stop permitting the exploitation of local rivers weve asked nestle for a comment but havent yet had a response however the company has always maintained that it at his to all relevant regulatory standards and thinks to ensure the protection and preservation of the rev as it draws water from when we asked at Riverkeeper John equate him and what he thinks of nestle slate his plans i think the senator the river already has problems too little water last thing it is nestle drawing more water out and selling it back to us and plastic bottles that people will then have to clean up on the rivers and springs. Right here this. Water now. Our springs really hard to rebuild those on their roofs madison getting. The river which you see on our base. But if i recall correctly the ground some 128. 00 a few decades ago thats all that. And they get a huge amount of water and put it in bottles like this which people are already on the river so in addition to the pollution its also causing the oxer local to go right now its a bad thing because we need that water or drinking for agriculture or industry we dont really need it to be making a profit you or a Swiss Company for something that nobody actually needs about with money is off this very short break stay with us. Join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and ill be speaking to us from the world of politics or business im show business ill see you then. Welcome back we tend to think of the Tech Industry as being at the forefront of tomorrows world and also leading the way in equality and diversity among staff but it seems one European Web Developers conference in germany didnt get the memo despite promising a rich and diverse lineup its canceled octobers event after a number of delegates objective but no women speakers were taking part in this years conference seems to have gone with the white males only Conference Lineup shame is 2019 we can do better there were numerous speakers with 2 sessions myself included a workshop in the sun but no women at all im not comfortable that. The organizers have said that only one female submitted a session proposal critics say though that those behind the event should have reached out to more women we asked our guests but i have thoughts on the controversy. The fact is that women are still half the population think were just marginally over there half the people organizing it seem to be a group of maine it was their duty. Requirement to ensure that they had a wide range of people to speak about the issues that they wanted the debate when you want to be diverse you know on some occasions will be more willing speakers on some occasions with more bad speakers but it is also the also the child to say if youre going to have people in and effectively racially or sexually profile i just say were not interested what your speech is going to date were not interested your level of talent were not interested in the relevancy all were interesting is the color of your skin or your gender that is a joke the point is not about qualifications the point is about a culture which im sorry to say you seem to represent which is which is about accusing women of daring to be in your workplaces that would be a further comment if any will be applied local who got pushed out what it was applied there was basically no candidates now how will the earth is that the fault of men and its very unlikely in the real world that that somebody would just not want somebody to speak on the grounds of their gender i dont think thats very realistic i dont think thats something thats really going to happen i dont just dont think its its factually accurate it does happen im sorry to say either im sorry to say it does happen im glad to say its not absolutely widespread but you may be in your little. Haven in which everything is right and rosy but for lots of women though lots of ways in which women are excluded however competent they are im sorry that still happening i wish it wasnt but unless its get spoken about i dont think much will change. The daily caller a new science has revealed that a number of Us Democratic president ial hopefuls have been taking donations from Hedge Fund Managers with a stake in puerto rico storing debt thats despite the fact that those same candidates of made repeated attacks on donald trump for failing to address the island territories desperate economic situation. I. Puerto rico is just like the rest of the United States except it isnt and if their votes dont count in the final election why should president ial candidates care. 20 candidates 5 moderates has 2 debates and only one mention of puerto rico in a democratic debate that took place in florida home of 1200000 puerto rican and these are the progressives show as your p. R. Policy when it comes to going after donald trump anything goes even the all but forgotten puerto rico democrat certainly did speak up when trump snubbed puerto rico didnt sign a Disaster Relief bill at the 1st. Its shameful the way with 3 to puerto rico in the islands im not even sure people in the president S Administration you poor 3 kinds are all citizens if were talking about territories lets make sure the people of d. C. Actually get senators lets make sure the people of puerto rico are actually treated like fellow u. S. Citizens that they are and lets make sure that we have some handle on the financial future of this country very honorable of them but what is not honorable is cashing in on puerto ricos difficulties and big Hedge Fund Managers have been lending lots of money to puerto rico money the government cannot pay back and those very same hedge funds are now funding the democrats joe biden has gotten roughly 25000. 00 from hedge funds like Oak Tree Capital black rock and to comic capital and hes not alone a coalition of puerto rican activists is calling for the democrats to give that money back these hedge funds have pushed a program over stary Team Privatization in order to secure debt payments in that in many cases could not be paid by the puerto rican government the lives of countless Puerto Ricans have been destroyed as a result we had a ricans will be denied a Better Future if hedge funds are allowed to continue to profit from austerity and privatisations on the island you can either stand with the people of puerto rico or with the hedge funds that have harmed puerto rico you cant do both but so far only Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have returned their donations these democrats did not pay any attention to puerto rican issues it till they had an opportunity to criticize the president and isnt that ironic isnt that so hypocritical that it wasnt until they had an opportunity to fight a criticism with President Trump that they found puerto rico even an issue for them they should have been addressing this the entire time if this was important to them the only reason its important now is because they found a way to criticize donald trump these hedge. And donations are the core of hypocritical the fact that these democrats can sit back take these donations where people are profiting off of the economic problems in puerto rico and then at the same time say that theyre concerned about this country is one of the worst things that i have seen i think when these democrats accept donations they dont check and i think they check only when its convenient for them and they want to look at Donald TrumpsCampaign Donations but they dont want to look at themselves and they dont want to look at the fact that they are taking donations off of the very thing that they say that theyre against so far hedge funds making money off of puerto ricos debt crisis have donated roughly 230900. 00 to democrats who are running in the 2020 alexion imagine what that kind of money could do for the people of puerto rico. Are to new york. Thanks for joining us here on earth the international will be back at the top of the hour with the latest. Tony. Im one of the what i think.
