Or broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our International Thomas or we go. Right in a new book a former n. B. C. News employee details the difficulties he faced to trying to get the network to run a sexual abuse expose run and farrow accuses the channel of trying to kill his 2017 investigation into how into the now disgraced Hollywood Reporter harvey weinstein. Claims too that even Hillary Clinton did her best to get in the way up and comments. Harvey weinstein the man who triggered the me too movement for more disturbing accusations emerged about hollywood executives are the most powerful man in hollywood was a serial predator for up to 67 accusers ranging from inappropriate touching to rape a been sexually assaulted by. This monster is terrible terrible advantage disgusting even the former 1st lady couldnt stay away because women stick together i was shocked and appalled i was just sick i was shocked i was appalled the issue really is how terrible his behavior was and finally women have come forward to speak out about it this almost became a story that could have been because the investigation into weinstein in the rape allegations was almost killed by a channel that considers itself to be a beacon of womens rights there has been no clear example this year of journalisms ability to change the world training films do almost nothing to stop the harassment when it comes to women and Sexual Harassment in a topic you know i care a lot about it appears need to movement has finally hit wall street ronan farrow a pulitzer winning journalist says that n. B. C. Wanted to end these investigations they ordered a hard stop to reporting they told me and a producer working on this that we should not take a single call they told us to cancel interviews the question for years has been why why because the network got a call from a certain harvey yes the same Harvey Harvey weinstein who threatened to expose matt lauers nefarious activities if the story saw the light of day well it did anyway and farrow went to the new yorker and even wrote a book catch and kill weinstein made it known to the network that he was a well behaved and capable of revealing it and it looks like Hillary Clinton didnt want pharaohs investigation to be published either her of all people Hillary Clinton had scheduled an interview all of us at the head of the weinstein reporting and her folks got in touch and said were working on a big story sounded very concerned and tried to cancel that interview over the weinstein over the instant stuff errol claims that clintons publicist approached him and pressured him to drop the story and what he says was weinsteins behest clintons press people tried. To distance themselves from the scandal i genuinely respect romans work but have no idea what weinstein was saying to people to save himself what i do know is simple ive already rejected the weinstein code proposed dork about the election before talking to if i used to be misrepresented franks it wouldnt be the 1st time and b c denied any wrongdoing and b c news signed the Harvey Weinsteins story to ruin and we completely supported it over many months with resources but financial and editorial of to 7 months without one victim witness on the record he simply didnt have a story that my standard for broadcast no thats of any major News Organization now for n. B. C. To say that ronan farrow didnt have a story has got to be embarrassing at this point not only did he expose the rich and powerful but he got a Pulitzer Prize for doing it makes you wonder if news outlets ditch their principles when the powerful start pressing i think his words can entirely be trusted i think what were seeing right now is just the advancement of fake news in america you know its like the president said just last week its no longer fake news its now corrupt news and n. B. C. Has jumped right on that train you would think that these liberals would be all about this being that they preach social justice and feminism and womens rights but the reality is that these people have deep pockets i think that Hillary Clinton is only about womens rights when its convenient for her so when you have somebody like weinstein who is able to contribute to the Democratic Party and able to you know have the media and his pockets because of the amount of money he has the agenda for these democrats goes out the window weve been shown this time and time again that money talks over policy so they can pretend that the policy is something that they want it here too but the reality is when their friends have money and their friends can finance their campaigns and finance their agendas they play dirty and i think Hillary Clintons about as dirty is. Caught shes right down there with harvey weinstein. The central russian city of surat off is in shock over the murder of a 9 Year Old Girl the suspect had been taken into custody after confessing to the crime and the man is a 35 year old local and he claims he killed the girl after she asked about an abandoned garage he was using fearing that it might belong to her parents and hundreds have been protesting since the girls body was found a demanding that the Death Penalty should be given to the man.

Here lisa wasnt the ordinary sweet guy should adopt seeing and gymnastics just a sweet child im not sure she would talk to strangers on the street she was an open and trusting child but she was told not to approach strangers look to respond to unknown man she was a good and sweet child he says grandmother quote me when they discovered she was not at school she said lisa had disappeared. The promise that they need to be from such parties people started touching one along the path but it was all in vain if we did not expect such a public reaction we simply cant post requests for help on this. Social media and people responded and it resulted in such a big. Part of this that i expressed my deepest scratched you to the people it is an incredible response many thanks really lisas mother is holding on as best she can you. See this week its. All the children go to school that way when i saw that part for the 1st time i was shocked it was terrible i understand the anger of some people they ask why let a child go along that path but a lot of children use it every day he said was im lucky officials have promised to ensure the journey to school is safe and i hope the measures will be taken but we will not sit back he says mother will write to them again and again. Kurdish Officials Say there was an escape attempt by eisel family members from the whole refugee camp in the region of Northern Syria attacked by turkey escape attempt was caught on video. Camp security stopped them flings Officials Say dozens of residents attacked the exit gate of the camp where tens of thousands of relatives are kept a spokesperson for the Kurdish Forces security situation in the area is critical since turkey began its offensive on Northern Syria on wednesday similar warnings have been raised not only by the kurds but internationally as well. The vision does not only threaten the reactivation of islamic states. And activated cells in chemistry and other areas where theyre fighting on 2 fronts one against the invasion and another against the. Movies ive. Been told of the threat elsewhere well theyre going to be escaping to europe where they want to go military action will undermine the security of the. Namely the Kurdish Forces and risk protect it is stability in syria providing 1st time a ground for discharges. Hundreds and thousands of i saw militants where will they go this is a real threat to all of us. And the pentagon is denying any responsibility for i saw prisoners in the area insisting that it is. As i understand it the United States has no legal responsibility for those detainees the Turkish Military has responsibility not only for the prisoners for Collateral Damage humanitarian assistance all the rest of it in the areas in which theyre conducting a large scale military operation there is big doubt that he would be able to do with that 1st of all will arrive to that particular camp and find them safely garbett or. Most of them gun or even if. I mean many students that how they will deal with them their main road has to be on the europeans taking. Members most of them to europe began they brought up there and you would hope. That it does not do much to stop them coming to see it it is simply they know their way to go back or 2 loads of it to another country is they managed to go through. This he believes that they have realized. So they could be as well they could leave that place and go somewhere we dont know to europe to other countries. For sure that are at risk. Operation peace spring began on wednesday with turkey launching airstrikes on kurdish held positions prior to the operation the u. S. Had withdrawn its forces in the area something kurds see as a betrayal withdrawal since shock waves across america with many condemning trump for turning his back on the allies but there seems to be double standards over the issue as much as. Explains. The kurds a heros shout that people who couldnt point out on the map where the kurds live brave say the people who never have never would fight alongside them how how could try tray them say the people who couldnt care less about. Its just fashionable these days playing the card using them to get attention or for pathetic little political games where is the honesty is the truth. Well lets try c. N. N. In this case youre looking at not only betraying the kurds and betraying some of our other allies in the gulf region what the president has done to the kurds the betrayal of the kurds to be butchered by the turks. But the Ground Forces that destroyed the caliphate with american air power weve abandoned them there breaks my heart the message is clear you see and then stand by the oh well some cnns other cnns want those terrible kurdish terrorists stamped out as soon as possible this year not to go to c. N. N. Right now on the frontier of the border point you saw it was one of the 1st targets of the p. K. K. Terrorist organization as you can see at that point there was a huge explosion that area is in the hands of the p. K. K. Terrorist organization and we see an end price of the boundary where approximately 70. 00 mazes away and the areas that you see around us all of them are in the hands of the p. K. K. Terrorist organization. Absolutely remarkable c. N. N. Turk licenses the name on the condition that they adhere to c. N. N. Strict journalism standards so how how did the same journalistic standards and with one c. N. N. Almost worshiping kurds and the other c. N. N. All but cheering the deaths but come on im picking an easy targets what sane person trust journalists these days scratch the journalists what about celebrities with their newfound admiration for kurds surely this in syria i want you to ask can there is blood on anyones hand starting with has a president trying to is letting this happen because these people are being slaughtered after standing with our troops in the middle east for extreme a long time fighting against terrorists powerful words from the do the village john mccain like father like daughter but ive been so mad this morning and so upset about this news that we are abandoning our kurdish allies in the middle east these are allies of ours that american soldiers are still continuing to fight alongside all we did was arm them and they fought for america and to everyone in the white house and every republican who is mad at president obama pulled out of iraq you unpatriotic cowards that feckless unpatriotic callid is also your daddy meghan all of you not see this photo there is your father and next to him is syrian rebel commander general salim idriss who your daddy did his best and train who is now eradicating those same kurds we are ready for the operation to the east of the free t. S. These lands are currently under the control of the Syrian Democratic forces group. Which includes the Kurdistan Workers Party ringleaders these terrorists occupying our homes but cmon Meghan Mccain isnt john mccain she may have reason to fame entirely for being his daughter that doesnt mean she cant have different opinions again last example justify this contradicting yourself we destroyed i says with the help of the kurds we cant abandon the kurds now we cant turn it over to turkey to think that more work is really oh really mr graham seems like theres 2 possibilities either the senator really supports the kurds with his heart or ease just another spineless hypocrite using the kurds to score cheap political points in case youre on the fence enjoy this its the recording of a righteous senator speaking to pranksters who pretended to be the turkish minister of defense you know why p. G. Kurdish problem is a real problem i told President Trump a bomber made a huge mistake and relying on the y. P. G. Curd everything i worried about come true and now weve got to make sure that turkey is protected from the spirit and syria sympathetic to the wipe e. G. Problem and those to prostrate court frankly it honestly seems like principles and integrity going extinct i feel sorry for you abandoned by your allies facing invasion death and on top of all of that every 2 faced hypocrite has crawled out from under the rocks to use your hurt your pain your suffering for their own pathetic advantage. At least 16 people have been killed in an attack on a mosque in the west african nation of burkina faso a gunman opened fire inside of the building during friday prayers earlier my colleague Jacqueline Virgo discussed of the issue with r. T. Correspondent so ask you taylor. While reports have just come in as you said 16 people have been killed and 2 others seriously injured in a mosque attack in kenya faso this actually happened late on friday though only now beginning to piece together the story because theres very Little Information even now what we do know is that a number of unidentified gunman opened fire in a mosque in a village in the rules of the west african country and this is not the only country suffering from attacks well no again we dont know anything about the motives of the group involved in this particular attack but we can say that the incident is a rat in the region i mean faster has been battling in his list insurgency and were seeing the terror spill into for example mali which is in a conflict with the hardest. And in fact to the very start of october we saw one of the deadliest attacks in the region in recent times and that was off to mali and army bases on the border with turkey with targeted not result in the death of 8 soldiers and several dozens all still missing as is often an affiliate of al qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack this of course led to heightened pressure on the 1000000 government from its people who say that not enough is being done to tackle the issue of the is a missed insurgency and this frustration was really bolstered by cries of several other west african countries who are worried about the spillover into within their own borders why a particular. So while islamist this is a hot spot is something they want to get back hands on because its part of a vast space called so how and this is a land that stretches from africa to coast all the way to our trailer and for them they believe that if they can establish their presence in that region and gain access to certain major ports theyll be able to establish a clear. Trafficking route for both drugs and weapons from a wider perception of whats the International Reaction to whats going on in the region while the International Community would argue that its doing its best to try and calm the conflict the e. U. For example is committed to Building Security in the region and its keen to prevent any spillover of crime terrorism and crucially migration it is of course in the europeans interests. To get to the root of the issue so that they do not have any mass migration to the continent which is obviously as we well know a controversial and Divisive Political issue in europe since 2015 the french for example of got boots on the ground on the ground and on various nations including the u. K. And spain sent in Surveillance Aircraft theyve been a bit more hesitant to send in troops but theres been little success from these efforts because the contributions are widely considered small poorly coordinated to often just come too late and thats possible was a sort of final point here that cynics would say that International Efforts to help including providing aid as well as troops are part of a wider geopolitical game the u. S. And china for example are both keen to gain influence all across africa since it provides an amazing opportunity for infrastructure including the voting of ports of railways of roads china is actually slightly ahead in the race for sort of trade and influence in the region so a lot of political issues in play here africa is important strategically and unfortunately these major powers of just sitting influence in the region we are seeing an increasing number of attacks just like this. Young going Syrian Crisis russias middle east policy and Economic Times weve arab countries these are just some of the topics touched upon in a far ranging interview given by Vladimir Putin to or to arabic. Sky news arabia we will be showing the full interview on sunday on our international you will also be able to watch it on our to dot com heres a short preview. They stepped out of the woods 1st if anyone thinks that seizing tank is an attacking Oil Infrastructure can in any way affect cooperation between russia and iran friends saudi arabia and the u. A. E. That they can undermine or break down our cooperation with us then they are profoundly wrong so. Youre a big country like iran which has existed on its territory for thousands of years it has its own interests potions and iranians have lived here for centuries and we should respect those interests. But as i sit with you nuance you need to have dialogue to understand each other to puzzle out all the nuances intricacies and issues without dialogue you cannot solve any problem that is why i think i can share the concerns of the u. A. E. And saudi arabia but in the case of bilateral issues it is up to them to resolve them which is to see you. All the forces deployed illegitimately inside any sovereign state in this case syria must leave this is true for everyone if syrias new illegitimate government chooses to say that they have no more need for russias military presence this way just as true for russia right now we are discussing this openly with all our partners including iran and turkey and we spoke about it with our American Partners many times and i will be open with you as i have been with my counterparts syria must be free from other States Military presence and the territorial integrity of the Syrian Arab Republic must be completely restored. If you work for russia today the new while it is because of people like you that russia were accused of meddling in the election. I put in this interview comes ahead of his official visit to saudi arabia and the United Arab Emirates which will be the 1st since 2007 really are russian journalists and visited the Saudi Oil Refineries attacked last month by the facilities are working again but some of the destruction if the visible oil and trade. Along with Regional Security are on president wood from the genda during his visit to saudi arabia. And the from the back of the top the hour with more news this is r. T. International stay with us. Well get the. Rumors of real time on social media its. Still. The digits of 6. With you should learn morse just as well over. On the. Call. What politicians do something to. Put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. So when you want to be president or injury or something i want to. Let you go right to the press this is what the before 3 in the morning cant be good. Im interested always in the waters in the house. Theyre sitting there all. The swarms of them so a 1000000. Viewers who. Look was before. Much of those who heard its a preview of the most few other movies to see him with the north we will forego. The bulk move. The show you just look beautiful the i mean its going to look. More muslim also his girls will give your films for good girls. Dont go to school so look i do the same you believe this was the story to the you should go. To start ups to do. It with the little one wished theyd say look it is its. Just ashton understands this new its the mashed old. Destructive president and please control this project until its. Over your producers to close in this world to snap them up when you look at us the girls are with you serious of course to your she looks the issue im sure mr you should cook dorothy one was devoted to the. Women all make this manufacture to send this instant of public wealth. When the ruling classes project themselves. On the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. The time drinking or middle of the room signals. The real news is. The world. So right now were driving through both neighborhoods and you can see time and distance from each gang. So this is jordan. This is the territory claimed by the green street crips during war time bonnie hunt is now less likely to come in here because theres one way in and often one way out so once you come in and do a shooting youre trapped in their neighborhood and they can return fire so its not the safest way to to avenge a shooting so often theyll go on the outskirts of the neighborhood hoping to get a great street kripke thats a lot of times when innocent people get shot. So in the next couple of days someone from this development most likely will go over towards nickerson like they have the last couple of days and commit a shooting and vice versa so all these neighborhoods now are in play. For him you know. Several months ago. A gentleman with the moniker of menace from 15 hill was caught inside the gang territory of the Village Voice a couple of the village boys. Went outside jumped on menace beat him down and stuck to mr ashby you. And. They took the trash day and brought him back behind another house and tortured him they sodomized him they sliced him up with a machete and when they sliced him up they put in the end his chest the Village Voice. And then they continued to torture and then they wrapped him up in a rug a burned and dumped him in long beach theres one thing about beating a guy down or killing them but the torture of the sodomy all that stuff thats thats just what gang members do so they fall menace right around here beat them down put them in the trash can and then they will hammer. To this location here. Where they murder him assault them sodomized him and torture him. Theyre not concerned with people watching them commit crimes or being prosecuted because of that. Theyll go after witnesses still intimidate them and if they have to the old even try to kill them you can see how theyre marking up their neighborhood and Village Voice. My personal opinion is a lot of gangs get a sympathetic ear to the general public and when the publics posed to exactly what these guys do. Then everyone agrees that we dont want to in our neighborhood
