Very good evening to you and thanks for joining us this is a. Senior u. S. Journalist fighting over russia with that work now suing the host of another for describing them as paid russian propaganda. As the 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 bit 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 carry out. About to find out if the new president of our country is going to do what russia wants. Is under attack from the president and the president republican supporters in congress and the president conservative media supporters and also from the ongoing russian influence operation that a stir. All around. What happened if russia killed the power in fargo today what would happen if all the natural gas lines that that surface and falls just to fit 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 when 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 when views the consequences do start haunting you 1st the ratings gradually went down and then the actual conclusions of the more pro blood to wet is on air this is what the viewers saw when Rachel Maddow 1st realized the probe wasnt going to 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. A visit by independent american journalists to syria spoke to outrage from parts of the media after they traveled to government is to assess the countrys recovery earlier i spoke to both to journalists. Im staying in the old city of damascus by the eastern gate 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. Travelled to the capital damascus with the aim of speaking to locals and observing serious recovery from terrorism and they say they received no funding from the countrys government among those angered by the visits which in this from c. N. N. Of the intercept to accuse them of white washing and Government Support here are some of the reactions this is some goebbels prancing around Syrian Government luxury tour posi tourist photos near torch centers and look the 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 quirky. 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 entire world thats according to pakistans Prime Minister in run comes in an exclusive interview with l. T. Has some of what he said. Well had we not participated in the american war you know after 911 we would not have been the world stage risk and 3 by participating in the war and i repeat i was against it because you see him in a cheese we were trading these mujahedeen people to do a job against the soviet when they occupied afghanistan so these people were trained by pakistan funded by the american cia and no a decade later when the americans come into of honest on the same groups all in pakistan supposed to say that no not because the americans are there its no longer job its terrorism you know it was a big contradiction and i strongly felt that you know pakistan should have been neutral because by joining in these groups turn against us so we you know we lost 70000 people we lost you know as i said over 100000000000 dollars to the economy and in the end we were blamed for the for the the americans dont see it succeeding of understand i felt it was very unfair on pakistan. Awful interview to just a wide variety of topics from a potential nuclear war between india and pakistan through to the Prime Ministers past as a successful cricketer and what aspects of the sport helped him in politics you can watch this friday here on the channel and also by heading to a web site called. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was met with putin in salt she comes out of snap elections in israel on tuesday our correspondent riff and ashton is insult for us on the line rick good evening plenty for the leaders to talk about that. Yes hi neal Benjamin Netanyahu here in. Russias president ial and alexey summer residence this is there a 3rd the 0 lawn and they have 13 meeting in the last year is it makes you take the International Leader that Benjamin Netanyahu has meant more than any other leader during this time and has very cool to maintain we were invited to film the beginning of this meeting both politicians were smiling while they entered the room and both in their welcome speeches were very positive about how strong he found a fruitful the relations between russia and israel currently are lets take a listen. Thank you. But when you look at it im not afraid to say that things to your reference to a large extent our relations have reached new levels on Security Issues and military cooperation and we know how important that is especially taking into account the continuing threat from international terrorism. Because there are 2 additional factors that play in the celebration of time. Its between our countries the carefully weighed policies of both of us and a strong connection between us. Benjamin netanyahu stressed that russia and not the only one to benefit from the good relations but it also helps secure the entire region back in 20152000 netanyahu set up a special mechanism to avoid accidental clashes between their militaries on the ground in syria and todays meeting is a lot that weve heard from both politicians about strengthening these cooperation and coordination extending aid and continuing to secure and stabilize. A region i have to say that the israeli Prime Minister brought a very big delegation with him including National Security advisor and the chief of military intelligence and before meeting putting they met russias defense minister sergei shogo and had extensive talks we do not know the details of the meeting was behind closed doors but we had a chance to talk to the israeli Prime Ministers International Media advisor and he told us that security concerns and security discussions is the major reason behind this recent visit all for now Benjamin Netanyahu to around especially given the recent activity by iran in syria lets take a listen what Benjamin Netanyahu had to say about that. I really appreciate what you are saying only israel safety this is manifested at the meetings weve had and with the recent meeting with the defense minister nation with our military is always very important especially at this time when we see the growing attempts over iran to use the territory of syria to attack us or to place their missiles theyre. Both politicians old. So mentioned the upcoming israeli elections mention it and yes will because its russia these time while fighting in fear is a real Action Campaign at home and many say meeting would move putin made how team a get more votes from russian speaking population always real from for all russian people and some opposition figures even accused him of doing that on purpose for the 1st time that we see these really Prime Minister visiting russia head of the elections but we are asked the Prime Minister is International Media adviser brought that and he said this is norton connected at all security is the major concern and the major reason behind this mitten is to discuss Security Issues he exclusively told us and we can say that this is definitely not the last meeting between food and it and your whole life for putin said that he accepted the invitation to visit israel next january when the country commemorates 70 feet any person of auschwitz celebration auschwitz liberation and he will be there for that event back to you and he thinks refreshing in sochi with the latest. Well ahead of his meeting with the israeli Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was in the russian republic of dagestan marking a key anniversary or militia that managed to repel a terrorist attack and today he fulfilled a promise made 20 years ago. Was going to need me in follow up was he really. Did slow business or just did you get so she has to make this deal if you do what youve. Set up a legitimate youve been given a. Way to move your blood that. She would be able to do the best that you lose it or leave him to be certain. But do. But they just know that you. Its a lot of bridges that lead to put it. Back then the republicans are massive terrorist incursion from chechnya more than 270 people were killed 800 injured or more than 2 and a half 1000 terrorists were eliminated and seeing 2 decades have passed since the region was freed by joint civilian and military forces for putin it was finally time to raise a glass to. You to do so much for russia but most of. All it was your. Top u. S. Lawmakers a purse the key votes to define the boundaries of a potential impeachment investigation of donald trump means the committee can designate certain hearings as impeachment hearings and empower staff to question witnesses republican members of the house furiously denounce the move. Not even that but when inquiry some in the media is saying its hard to know what were doing here and thats exactly what i want to now so hearing about whether or not we have people come give testimony afterwards the president can write us or a letter in response this is more about defining our pen pal strategy for all of those covering this this is not anything special investigation thats already been completed moller hearing they saw it that was a flop if the majority wants to exercise the houses power of impeachment all you got to do is ask house to do so impeachment resolution could not pass the full house so this committee is trying to have its cake and eat it too you want to give the illusion of impeachment the reality of it i want to go a long time to be able to say this welcome to the fantasy of. The supporters of the probe hope that it will strengthen their chances of gathering key evidence against the president on allegations of corruption and obstruction of justice democrats have been sending mixed signals since the special counsel Robert Muller didnt find trump guilty kill them open expose democrats seem to be rolling ahead with their efforts to remove donald trump from office the House Judiciary Committee 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 it had been in korea in search of something to impeach President Trump over so weve got 134 democrats voting to begin an impeachment inquiry but 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 be the mother 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 ready controversy at all 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 in 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. 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 their egypt 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 wife but it looks like if they actually go for it this might backfire in the long term mop and ard see new york. A dramatic reduction in Carbon Emissions and more energy from renewable sources thats what i believe merkel wants for the future shes outlined these targets in front of car buses are the major motor showed us and yes we must reduce transport produce fuel to emissions by 40 percent thats our twentys go to target you see even electrum ability though is just as worth a try for the future because cars will only be genuinely Climate Friendly once a look to see if it comes from renewable sources but we want 65 percent of our Electricity Supply to come from renewables by 2030. Johnson speech came a day after she used a key budget debates to call for more action on Climate Change so my experts though warned that more regulation could put europes biggest economy in reverse gear dont 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 induced 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 i can influence a 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 Steel Industry really Nation Program combined with veritable 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 entered. The 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 a situation is very ridiculous i mean they made a big foss last year for 20200 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 and you know it doesnt matter human beings nature animals no 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 folks like and 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 lead night that 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. Safe on Energy Supply and everything everybodys used to energy is always available but with getting more and more of it mails into the into the system the system gets more and more in stable and we have seen in the last month several times that a collapse 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 they announced already beginning of this year that they want to reduce 20000 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 regulations and reopened in china where they can produce the wood to unlimited.
