Takes a look now and comments on the effort against trouble. If youre a democrat the hawg cool liberal type you knew in your heart the trump would be brought down the only question was how long it would take just needed a reason and come on there were plenty the people put their money on the trump russia collusion story treason collusion between the trunk team and the russians and trump knew about it that would truly be impeachable its miss. Prison of treason and so far his response has been exploding and unfortunately proved entirely fabricated but to hell with it obstruction of justice a federal system in the United States that ought to do it to the president trying trying to block the f. B. I. s rush investigation commit an Impeachable Offense are we getting closer and closer to the possibility of yet another impeachment process no dodges that to come on lets go in on the guy slept with the porn star media told us and paid a hush money to keep it silent no way hed survive that bicycle you see the trump Team Stepping into every trap that she and her lawyer set for them havent a president knowledge that he was actually meant to be a party to the nondisclosure agreement and now of course shes got a an avenue and a way to fire back at it cohen what is going on a mini get outta jail free cards does trump have you can keep this up surely every excuse to get rid of trump was brought up this gust dissected in this guarded nothing would stake until now it seems like ukraine is the 1st nail in trumps political coffin bloodhounds democrats smell blood weakness at long last trump is vulnerable i think focusing on this ukraine scandal singularly is important i think we have to act quickly but not with haste. More able to speak with one voice on that subject than on some of the other weve got to go narrow no question about it i would hope within a 6 week frame we could get the evidence on the table so the American People can see it just one phone conversation and trump side his political death. Warrant and if you thought it was about russia you thought wrong even a russia was discussed in that very call i would like to find out what happened with this whole situation with the ukraine they say crowd strike i guess you have one of your wealthy people the server they say ukraine has it that sounds crazy the democrat servers hacked by the russians allegedly somehow ending up in ukraine what these things are so secure crowd strike the d. N. C. As Computer Security squad wouldnt let the f. B. I. Look at them would threaten their security if the f. B. I. Investigated they claimed all that the agents received were redacted draft reports all the information about russian hacking was pushed amongst others by crowd strike and the f. B. I. Putting him politely said this isnt how things easily done its not the way we would prefer to do the investigation 2 years have passed than trump still hasnt been able to find those servers from may or may not have reason to think that the servers are in ukraine and is trying to rule whatever they know in washington its clear that the democrats wont let go of this whole Ukraine Business they finally got solid ground for their long awaited impeachment oh and russia forget it when cares anymore the democrats are desperate. Theyre terrified of losing the election joe biden is a is a disaster as a candidate if if he is the nominee he will im almost certain he will lose to trump and the democrats are hoping to bring the trump down through this whole impeachment process this idea of. Finding a scandal and running around hysterically where d there really. No criminal offense so theyre hoping to bring trump down but i just cant imagine it will work. Meanwhile u. S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has suggested moscow play a role or played a role rather in the trump ukraine phone call scandal russias foreign minister lambasted that notion. As we saw with the russian interference and by the way i think russia has a hand in this by the way. We see new sanctions every day and almost every hour i can see asians of new mortal sins against russia since nancy pelosi today said that russia is behind the incident surrounding the phone call of trump and this is an example of a clear paranoia. Earlier on friday russias foreign minister took to the u. N. General Assembly Sergey Lavrov spoke out at the undermining of International Law by countries pushing their vision of the world on others outside the u. N. In new york heres our. During the general debate the Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov used his remarks to essentially to lay out the russian view of the world and argue that russia is trying to deescalate conflicts around the world that dialogue is necessary in his speech he criticized the United States for basically ignoring the interests of other countries and replacing the rule based International Order with new rules that were convenient for them in the moment you do she is up with the moment with the leading western countries are trying to impede the development of a multipolar world in order to regain their privileged position to impose standards of conduct on others that are based on the narrow western interpretation of liberalism in a nutshell were liberals and everything is permitted in pursuit of this policy the west has been increasingly loath to recognize International Law and more often and more insistently dwells on a rules based order in the press conference that followed his remarks before the General Assembly he seemed to hit on similar themes he talked about many instances around the world where it seemed like the United States was not helping to stabilize International Tensions i pointed to the situation with iran where the United States unilaterally pulled out of the j c p o way. In the sort of the problem started when the u. S. Unilaterally withdrew from the agreement and told everyone else to stop abiding by its too promising sanctions over trade with iran which i believe these actions were destructive not only for the situation around Irans Nuclear program but also for the nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons and the whole situation in the region is response to a question that was raised about the fact that members of the russian delegation for the u. N. General assembly had their visas pulled at the last minute so he asked the question who is responsible for making these decisions. I do not believe that either President Trump or secretary mike had anything to do with that mr also. But assuming thats true then the question arises how are decisions being made in the u. S. Especially those directly linked to washingtons obligations to ensure the normal functioning of u. N. Headquarters when there are a number of countries were touched on during the press conference and many questions were asked about syria about venezuela about the situation in the middle east he emphasized that russia is working with these different arab states to try and resolve the tension and deescalate the situation in the gulf so it was quite an interesting interaction touching on many different situations but emphasizing that russia is committed to deescalation and dialogue not stirring up and exacerbating International Tensions or domestic conflicts within countries. Recorded in the u. K. Says it is unable to prevent the home office from deporting a 10 Year Old Girl at the risk of female genital mutilation after her sudanese mothers asylum application was rejected. Putting aside his enthusiasm for war and its cozy relationships with the haters the British Government style the self of the staunch defender of human rights around the world the latest crusade theyve taken up is the fight against of g. M. In other countries theyve pledged 50000000 pounds by 2030 to combat the issue. The bible its very clear that he isnt any requirement it doesnt make. Sense to will understand dont go but the British Home Office is pushing ahead with deporting a woman and her 10 year old daughter to bahrain from where lawyers fear then be deported on to done but the mother is originally from the country has one of the highest rates of conducting f. G. S. In the world and the girl risks being another victim they are happy to prosecute female genital mutilation theyre happy to give money abroad to stamp it out but theyre failing to protect women who are at risk if deported a British Family Court earlier ruled that the coal face the risk of being circumcised against her will if sense of board but it was a move by the home office which said immigration issues the core business perhaps the most high profile attempt by the u. K. To deport someone it was the case of abu qatada a radical cleric the u. K. Accused of having ties to al qaeda it took 12 years and 1700000 pounds to remove him and was a victory for the British Government yet since his departure taishan britain has spent almost 200000 pounds protecting his wealth in jordan and the question now is whether the mother and her little girl would also get that much protection from u. K. Authorities if she ends up back in sudan we asked the u. K. Home office for a comment on the case and are awaiting its response a lawyer for the girls mother told us that the British Government is not doing enough to protect young women at risk of s. G. M. Her mother says that her little girl is a high risk of a g. M. So her mother was cut and she suffered type 3 f g m which is the most physically severe type of f. She m. That any woman or child can undergo and in fact the mother says her sister has also died whilst enjoying this most brutal practice so she certainly says is a high risk of f c m m we know from the social services who took this up to cation to court to stop this little girl from being deported that they also believe has a high risk of f g m and also the National Center here an Expert Organization working with families in this country who are at risk if she can also believe that this little girl is at risk so theres a wealth of expertise here that says she is at risk of f. G. S. But unfortunately the home secretary and also the immigration Authorities Say the immigration courts dont feel that the risk is this is high my real concern here is that we have a government that appears to be committed to prosecuting cases of f. G. And in throwing the book ethnic minority families when this f. P. M. In this country but when it comes to protecting girls the terrorist abroad and legitimately claim asylum the governments all too ready to refuse that claim because in my view if a socalled hostile immigration environment and theyre not given the status that they so desperately need so i was this real contradiction in the governments approach time and time again played out a new cases sadly. The Global Climate change club downs are picking up steam with the number of planet protecting moves being in motion for one a swedish daily newspaper is banning all advertisements of fossil fuel based products and services with immediate effect papers and cited Environmental Concerns for his decision we go after the biggest mass climate protest in history and separately a 3rd of the worlds banks have signed up to a Un Initiative on efforts to tackle Climate Change such as cutting back on investing in fossil. Your projects among them are Major Players Deutsche Bank city group and barclays in total 130. 00 Financial Institutions in 49. 00 countries have signaled that they are on board but notably 7 of the worlds 10 biggest banks are missing from that list the Un Initiative calls on banks to harmonize their strategies with the paris climate agreement and work towards a Sustainable Future from being seen as an overdue move to mobilize the influential finance sector to a fad that will cause more problems than it solves we put the issue up for discussion here on r. T. International. What we really need to be looking out looking at is eliminating the funding of fossil fuels as quickly as possible and the key thing here is not to focus too much on the banks they will do whatever they can within what is profitable and have legal key thing is to put pressure on governments to utterly change the rules in terms of what banks to to get rid of anything that is destroying the future for our children the Green Technologies that are presented as growing are not a toll in many instances in the Energy Sector they say no to Nuclear Energy there is no reason to see no to say no because Nuclear Energy doesnt emit any c o 2 and they say yes the electric car Collector Car is an awful and see life cycle analysis if you look at their environmental footprint its much worse than my diesel car today and it will be for the next 50 years so because of the production of the batteries so this is solved rubbish this is perfect rubbish frankly and it is enough you know having 16 Year Old Girls like the one we had a system at the United Nations explaining to adults that there are stupid i mean this is not fun you know shes supported by the persons family of billionaires that have invested in the Green Technologies i mean this is who writes her texts this is a disgrace really its time to stop and the gulf numbs progress of course in the reduction of c o 2 emissions but. They should do it normally at a normal pace and for bidding the use of call of fuel or gas is stupid especially for example in germany because of their choice for supposedly Renewable Energy such as wind energy they need coal plants to to produce the energy when there is no went so crazy but identified you know perhaps correctly perceived problems with some of what is being pushed forward is green at the moment as a reason for carrying on burning fossil fuels when we know it is who already a crime against humanity in the form of catastrophic droughts floods typhoons like clones hurricanes you know and the strength of these things is absolutely vastly greater than before and you know so so to try and identify some of the problems with whats being put forward by you know the mainstream green narrative as a reason to carry on destroying ourselves its just madness that we need to do the right thing at the right time its not people are extreme extreme activists that need to decide the gulf once cannot allow this and the United Nations should not allow this the only reason that the solutions required to deal with these problems are now so extreme is that well weve had 30 years of people like luke saying oh well we need to wait till we know more until the technology is about or what has happened over that period is that we have produced more emissions in the last 30 years than the entirety of Human History before so the very very tempting rationale which is that anything that looks greener than before is a step in the right direction we must go at a normal pace we cannot stop planes from flying from today on because thats what the extremists want to paraphrase go live in progress with your leisure not as it would in obviously progress on this. United states announced on thursday that it is sending 200 military personnel and a Patriot Missile battery does to help defend its allies the Oil Production facilities this comes after attacks on 2 major installations in. The gulf state knocked down 5 percent of the worlds oil supply just a couple of weeks back you know saudi arabia already had a number of Patriot Missile systems in the area when the attack took place they were rendered useless as at least 17 drones and cruise missiles hit the Oil Producing facilities u. S. Secretary of state mike brown pale gave the following explanation as to why the batteries were not able to thwart the attack look anytime weve seen air Defense Systems all around the world have mixed success some of the finest in the world dont know with big things up Security Experts charles sure bridge told us he doesnt believe additional Patriot Missiles will bolster saudi defenses against the sort of attacks we saw earlier in the month and thats gnomic success really about this is almost no success if any ever has been recorded by patriot systems against low flying targets such as the drones the cruise missiles that were being used in these incidents to petra system is primarily designed to be flying to be used against high speed High Altitude targets such as Ballistic Missiles its more of a symbolic gesture than anything thats going to practically at the defense capabilities of saudi arabia ironically perhaps much more. Much more effective systems perhaps more low tech systems perhaps more Old Fashioned systems that could be used more effectively theyre nowhere near as expensive as the patriot systems and perhaps cynic might suggest theyre full using those i suppose as opposed to selling and deploying more patriots wouldnt be as much benefits of the u. S. Arms industry. There is high level anger in germany at the u. S. Which is being accused of trying to bulldoze a major russian gas pipeline project by repeatedly threatening sanctions the chairman of the German Parliament Energy Committee told r. T. At a conference in berlin the penalties if imposed would violate International Law. Do you think yes it is the 1st it seems to me that these sanctions extraterritorial and therefore an acceptable under International Law 2nd based on the conversations in which i took part i have the impression that the gas pipeline will be built it will simply become more expensive thus u. S. Sanctions will increase the price of the project for Companies Involved in the construction of the gas pipeline and the project will not fail the interest of americans in a sense is very simple they want to sell their own gas in europe to do this they need to weaken the economic ties between germany and europe and specifically between germany and russia thats the whole point but theyve only partially succeeded as we know for many years russian gas was flow to europe especially germany without interruption so the construct of this gas pipeline is in the interests of germany and it will be built i think the behavior of the u. S. President is encouraging europeans to change their minds about america of course the u. S. Is a Major Economic part of europe for germany partners do not behave as the americans are behaving because germany and europe are not a colony of the United States. Nord stream too is also currently suing of the European Union for imposing regulations which the projects lawyers argue will jeopardize investment in the scheme. Nord stream to a. G. Has now decided to ask the arbitral tribunals to determine that the European Union is in breach of its International Law commitments under the Energy Charter treaty and to make orders requiring d. U. To discontinue as breach use extending its jurisdiction to cover offshore pipelines beyond the blocks borders the gas directive is designed to open the market and encourage competition by revealing details such as operating costs nordstrom to says that will discourage billions of euros from of investment and launched a dispute in april claiming that the e. U. Is violating the Energy Charter treaty which regulates the industrys cross border cooperation including investment both sides failed to reach an agreement leading the company to launch legal action on thursday. 3 quarters of the pipeline and has already been laid and is expected to come on line later this year when completed stream 2 will stretch for 1200 kilometers and will dramatically increase the amount of fuel supplied from russia to europe that use gas directive would only apply to the section on german territory but has implications throughout the entire Network Journalist Thomas Fassbender told us there is a geo political tug of war playing out over the supply of energy to europe. This is not a ringback legal problem this is not a legal issue this is a political issue which is going to be decided by legal means which always creates an unfortunate sea situation because it makes it to play fees which should be which which should be left apart we have a strong. Interest by the us that this project must not be and we must not forget that even the law cakes the present law case is just a step in a multi triad but by the u. S. Government we have we are still have the the proposed sanctions against the Companies Participating in the building the construction of a pipeline on the table for by watching. A cinema chain in the us has banned movie goers from wearing costumes masks and face paint during screenings of the new joker film in its theaters. Just me as joker. Of the band comes amid fears of possible violence during screenings concerns were raised by families of victims of a mass shooting at a batman movie in 2012 when a dozen people were killed back then there were unproven claims that the killer could have been inspired by the joker character the shooter also became a hero to the incell community which ill explain in a moment at the time though the studio distance itself from the violence denying that the Dark Knight Rises movie influence the perpetrators actions incidentally this latest release will not be shown at the venue in colorado where that terrible massacre took place. The u. S. Military has even issued warnings to its Service Members about a mass shooting threat at showings of the joker film several potentially dangerous messages posted by people identifying as in cell have been discovered by intelligence officers. Boost in social media have made reference to both interest so but in so extremists replicating the 2012 theater shooting in the rural screenings of the joke a move it nationwide theater this presents a potential risks to department of defense personnel and family members though there are no known specific Credible Threats to the opening of the joke on the 4th of october. The threat allegedly comes from the incell community whose philosophy resembles that of the films main character the joker they associate online and describe themselves as involuntary celibate and voluntarily celibate rather disgruntled then apparently feel neglected and undesired in the modern day society not being able to find a romantic or Sexual Partner as a result the theory goes some of them turn openly hostile to society and promote violence Todd Phillips the director of joker rebuffs the claims that this film may provoke violent acts its a little troubling when people write think pieces without having seen it and even in their think piece is right i dont need to see it to know what it is to me thats you know i find it astounding to be quite frank how easily the far left can sound like the far right when it suits their agenda i think the reason for that is is somewhat hypocritical the concern over the joker movie is warranted because according to the f. B. I. They have been picking up chatter on some dark web websites that indicate that there is talk about a possible incident that could occur somewhere at a Movie Theater thats been undisclosed the United States especially right now were in such a fractured society in terms of the view of you know racial politics and how everyone views each other there is a huge concern about this idea of white males being a threat to the society in general i dont think thats an accurate assessment in terms of the actual belief that white males in general are a danger to society but this is a new a media narrative thats been playing out for some time now it doesnt for mail be back in 32 minutes with your headlines and with us introduction. Its always only been a matter of time impeachment has always been on the agenda settling on the issue and process are the sticking points the democrats and the liberal media removed over a telephone call to the ukrainian president what could possibly go wrong. In 24 you know bloody revolution in fiji the demonstrations were peaceful protests to be. Revolution is always spontaneous. Is it always. President recalls the events of 24. 00. Invested over 5000000000. 00 to assist in these and that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. So. Evolution. Under. Who we are today very different and yet very. With the latest. Technologies can we make. Today an amazing evolutionary biologist. Armaan money. Or more than a one its a great pleasure to have in our show. So were going to start with the book that you wrote earlier and i so i know that you will. But well talk about the topics that are inspiring you just a little bit but lets start with mutants on genetic variety in the human body and in that book you put forward their idea of genetic exploration genetic experiments being a good thing yeah. Ok then we should be afraid of them so. In your own words tell me what does that mean is it ok
