News about him with m s n b c retracting its story after a threat of legal action. Oh very good morning just on 11 oclock here in moscow you watching International One of the most Popular Democratic president ial hopefuls has failed to qualify for the next round of t. V. Debates hawaii representative. Was the most searched for candidate on google after the last 2 t. V. Show downs but this time around the d. N. C. Says she has failed to meet the criteria required something that has called into question. The whole process really lacks transparency. People deserve having that transparency because ultimately its the people who will decide who our democratic nominee will be an ultimate lee who our next president commander in chief will be and when you see that lack of transparency it creates you know a lack of faith and trust in the process its Primetime Television if you want to be anybody in the Democratic Party you better make sure you get on the stage at the president ial debates so what do you need to do to make it 2 things 1st get over 130000 unique donations to get at least 2 percent in a National Poll but heres where it gets tricky not every poll is the same and if the Democratic National committee doesnt like you they can reject the poll results that show things in your favor now tulsa gabbert has met the donations threshold hes got over 2 percent 126 different National Polls however the Democratic NationalCommittee Says that doesnt count they have their certified list sure its important of that information its being provided but lets take a quick look at some of the polls that were rejected politico the economist reuters if these widely respected outlets and News Agencies arent credible in america then who is holing in the United States there is a club. A network of Close Associates and friends and they frown upon those polls that are either new or are not members of the club or the association so i would certainly speculate that has something to do with that it is a partisan organization the Democratic National committee so any poll say that may have a tradition of leaning republican or not considered to be in the mainstream of democratic artists and ship you know would be would be ruled out even the polls deemed credible. The Democratic Party have a margin of error of between 2 and 6 percent and when the criteria for being in the debates is only 2 percent a margin of error like that is a pretty big deal so tulsa gabbert could have between 0 and 7 percent support among American Voters now keep in mind there are over 200000000 people who are registered to vote in the United States of america so whats the difference between 0 and 14000000. 00 well whatever it is it is apparently not important to the Democratic National committee there is a margin of sampling error so if the margin of error is plus or minus 4 percent what is 2 percent in the polls if if its 1. 51 percent that the candidate has then does get rounded up to 2 percent whereas the 1. 44 percent which is meaningless one could argue the Democratic National committee is a private organization we can establish our own rules but then they also have to be open to the charges by somebody else again berg who says this doesnt smell like its fair and frankly i agree with their i dont think its mills atmosphere now the d. N. C. Doesnt exactly have a reputation for impartiality and fairness leaked emails in 2016 show that the Democratic Party leaders were working pretty hard to defeat Bernie Sanders and make sure that it was Hillary Clinton who ultimately took on donald trump now after the outrage in 2016 the new Democratic Party chair tom perez promised to empower grassroots activists i am more committed than ever before to restoring votes is faith in the democratic process because even the perception of impartiality when unfair advantage undermines our ability to win that is an acceptable to that end the new d. N. C. Under my leadership is committed to the tosk of making sure that all 2020 nominating process will be unquestionably fair and. Transparent so as the list of candidates gets whittled down to one final nominee voters will have to decide as to whether mr prayers is living up to his promise. R. T. New york. Frenchman has lost his fight to protect people in his hometown from pesticides although he banned their use of court overruled him and hes now appealing the decision however his case has inspired other mayors across france to take similar action as shoulder to pinsky reports. This tiny Breton Village of language has found itself at the center of controversy in the battle over the pesticides in may the local mag to court some saw as being a Bold Decision to ban the use of pesticides within 150. 00 metre cordon over the village farming unions were furious on the matter and did up in court now the man daniel coeff had his ban overturned but the debacle is now shining a light on the deep political contradictions so rounding pesticides in france well president might call and praised his intentions for tackling phosphates a burning issue over Health Concerns he said the solution was not to issue a decree that doesnt comply with the law so macko if thats a double standard. I dont understand what is happening across and the ecology minister said that i am right and doing a good thing to protect my people but in the meantime im facing court for a decision to keep pesticides at a distance of 150 metres i dont understand politics now it seems the decision by the court to take his ban all pesticides was illegal has also earned good residence in this usually sleepy village. 2 children wit lots of fields around long where and its Important Health matter for us especially for children we breathe the in the press the sites we did during testing the amount of best the sites we found was alarmingly high even though we eat organic and we grow some of our own food that is also organic. To survive it was a bad judgment and the mayor wasnt heard i think the government isnt doing its job theyre the 1st to see that there should be no pesticide but they do nothing or so i honestly think it was a bad legal decision by the court your needles in which genes are key. Paul says we are in a small village that is close to a farming area we need to protect people too we never know what kind of Health Issues could be created by pesticides so i think the decision by the mayor was intelligent and he needed to make a decision to protect the people but now he has difficulties with the Justice System the World Health Organization has said gleich phosphate often used to weed killer probably causes cancer while gov phosphate has hit the headlines over Health Concerns not corn had promised to ban the use of phosphate by 2021 that provoked an outcry by farmers in unions who said they needed an alternative mark and then pushed the ban back to the following year when the current license will expire now across france the ban imposed by mcewan has gained traction he may have lost the 1st battling court but now are around 20 other mares have followed his lead banning the use of pesticides close to homes farmers on the juris cry these bans as being politically motivated saying they are getting on the environmental bandwagon ahead of my oral elections. Mayors are already thinking of the next election environmentalists are wreaking havoc on our agriculture and our only factories floundering in this these mayors are outstanding scientists they are taking advantage of peoples fear to make this kind of decision which is good for their image is protectors of the environment and the population but it seems the government has been backed into a corner there must be a minimum distance between residential areas and best decided sprain i will advise in the coming days forming unions and the companies that produce pesticides ashore to have something to say about that but so too does make a wish who believes that these are all the. Only way to protect people who live near farms which use pesticides otherwise he says their health is screwed so that even ski altie. In pretty any. Ukrainian president s office says a Prisoner Exchange between moscow and kiev is under way but not yet complete although so far there is no official statement or confirmation neither from the russian side because don of his more determines the very sensitive story both for russia and for ukraine so most details that we have right now they exist in the realm of speculation reports even rumors and the only concrete thing that we have to work with is that post or even rather every post by ukraines attorney general what it does it assume is that some ukrainian sailors and 4 other people could be on the way home from russia to ukraine now those 4 people mentioned by name in that post most of them were jailed in russia on terrorism charges and one of them got prison time for illegal possession of firearms and ammunition this is pretty much all the details we know so far we dont even have the official figure as to how many ukrainians russia is ready to give up last year in november on the 25th of november some Ukrainian Military vessels entered the coach straight its a straight right off the coast of the Crimean Peninsula and of course russia says crimea is part of its territory ukraine disagrees so those vessels the nord warnings by the russian navy so all the russian ships had to intervene and to intercept those ukrainian vessels there was a rough interception as well because one of the russian ships rammed a ukrainian vessel. Right now we have this prisoner swap that is under way something that the 2 countries have been working on and on a very for a very very long time and just this week just a couple of days ago russian journalist the head of the Ukrainian Branch of the Russian News Agency ria novosti he released from prison after spending there more than 400 days without any sentence hes accused of treason by ukraine but hes not been found guilty of anything and russias been adamant that this person is innocent until Proven Guilty hes just been doing his job like you or me do and that he should not wait to forward for a verdict he should not await a verdict in captivity in prison and so this week the Ukrainian Court released him on bail. Now u. S. President donald trump has lashed out at us Media Outlets for spreading more fake news the Washington Post was 1st to feel his wrath published a report on his mexico border war quoting unnamed sources as saying he would pardon officials if they followed illegal orders but it also site is another unnamed source to you as saying that trump was only joking still trump wasnt happy. Another totally fake story in the amazon Washington Post lobbyist which states that if my aides broke the law to build the wall which is going up rapidly i would give them a pardon this was made up by the Washington Post only in order to demean disparage fake news. Well yes n. B. C. News channel is also in his sights its never attracted a bombshell report on the president s supposed ties to russia it alleged he had russian oligarchs cosign loans for him though its a bank on the basis of a single unidentified source. And this Single Source close to do it your bank has told me. That the trump Donald Trumps loan documents there show. That he has cosigners thats how he was able to obtain those loans and that the cosigners are russian all of us that would explain it seems to me every kind word donald trump has ever said about russia and Vladimir Putin but that story backfired because drums through all of them wrote to the channel accusing it of spreading false and defamatory news and he also threatened legal action if the story wasnt retracted and n. B. C. Host Lawrence Odonnell did apologize for airing the claims although insisted they could still be true. 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. 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 when you have a public figure in this particular case donald trump the president who is 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 it heres a word reckless disregard for the facts they are at the ratings basement there are Baby Monitors that have higher ratings than this they dont care and you 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 its wrong ok well give a little bit of an apple logic and move on not even a slap on the wrist not. For the right to have a warning from Amnesty International that activists in afghanistan are in danger of attack from the taliban and also Islamic State government doing little a back to thats among the stories to come in a couple of. The financial survival john Money Laundering 1st visit this cash in the 3 different. Oh good this is a good start well we have our 3 banks all set up something in europe something in america something overseas in the Cayman Islands and it will hold these banks are complicit in their tough talk just after didnt fall and say ok im ready to do some serious Money Laundering ok lets see how we did while weve got home got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy home beautiful jewelry and how about.

President donald trump says american troops will be withdrawn from afghanistan once a deal has been reached with the taliban. Were going down to 8600 and then well make a determination from there as to what happens well make a determination but were going down to 8600 were bringing it down we have it very well controlled. Meanwhile Amnesty International has warned that human rights defenders are being increasingly attacked and harassed by the taliban and also Islamic State is reports that its that the Afghan Government has repeatedly failed to investigate attacks on activists who are quote killed with impunity activists have even been told to take up arms to defend themselves human rights defenders are calling on the International Community and those involved in the conflict to take action. The International Community must step forward and provide of ghana stance Human Rights Community with the support of the unity of we need my credit even coeditor of b. S. Nice as the us show which is the blame for civilian deaths in afghanistan. The u. S. Military has been responsible for most a 1000000000 deaths in afghanistan over the past 80 years or so in the case of afghanistan the u. S. Militarys been there for almost 2 decades their human rights of never learns factored into the equation and what we see today is what weve seen in previous years and many civilians being killed many human rights are respected. And the carnage goes on because the old the u. S. And the coalitions presence in the country is too much a stage at the moment for. The u. S. Representatives the rest government to be sure genuine concern for human rights in afghanistan.
