Taylor reports. Live t. V. One o one check your mike then check it again project veritas has published bombshell footage of an a. B. C. Anchor venting her fury explosive Jeffrey Epstein story being shelved by the channel recorded in late august shortly after the disgraced billionaire was found dead in his new york jail cell amy roebuck said over 3 years ago she had exclusive material relating to peter for writing material which had direct testimony from one of the victims photos as well as other evidence of his dealings which implicated high profile figures like bill clinton Prince Andrew she told me everything she ensures everything she was fighting for 12 years making history come out we convince her to talk to us it was unbelievable what we have cleared with everything the powers found out that we have her whole allegations are false andrew and read us a 1000000 different ways robot claims the story was stopped from going to 2015 because according to the people as no one knew who was funny that because just a few years before theyve been happily sipping champagne on his manhattan townhouse you see back in 20 meter heavyweights gathered out to dinner and on of the u. K. s Prince Andrew a dinner which was arranged on hosted by you guessed it south and among those who wouldnt know who epstein was were both a. B. C. And c. B. S. Phosphor 2015 managed to entice virginia robots to free one of the victims out of hiding produces through her and her family out to the a. B. C. H. Q. In new york and hosted them and one of the big apples most Luxurious Hotels what they got was the scoop of a lifetime to free through wind open the door in the muck to world of epstein and his entourage as the. Flew around the walls on his private jet dubbed the lita express had a story for 3 years ive had to say if you would for any roberts we know that on the air 1st i was told was Jeffrey Epstein no one knows who it is this is a stupid story. Idea i tried for 3 years to get it on to no avail and now its all coming out and thinking well of revelations that i presume that this is the kind of story that makes koreas and gets people talking which is exactly why it was in some peoples interests to bury it i viewed the b. B. C. Interview as a potential game changer appearing on a. B. C. With its wide viewership would have been the 1st time for me to speak out against the government for basically looking the other way and to describe the anger and betrayal victims felt i was defeated once again by the very people i spoke out against and once again my voice was silenced i could not believe that a formidable network like a. B. C. Had backed down and given unfold those who were going to cry conspiracy one of the even came forward and confirmed he put pressure on the network to kill the story i simply provided a. B. C. With incontrovertibly evidence proving that jeffrey had a long history of lying about tipper and al gore her age and other matters and that her credibility could not be counted on and while this exposition was seen more salacious than the reports on that side it wasnt the fust time his morals have been called into question stories piecing together a tangled web involving bill clinton and Prince Andrew had sophos before images of the finance his little black book with hundreds of victims names and mugged alongside testimony from a 14 year old go claiming to have had sexual relations with a 1000000000 manhattanites gossipped about how new york city it was being ferried. Around on his private plane to his private island along with the coterie of very young women but all those revelations just like robotics were put back in the troll at the time not all our reporting met our standards to air but we have never stopped investigating this story ever since weve had a team on this investigation and substantial resources dedicated to it that work has led to a 2 hour documentary and 6 point podcast that will air in the new year youd be forgiven if that rings a bell because a. B. C. s response is uncommon least similar to n. B. C. s comment about its coverage. Of of media mogul Harvey Weinstein the end b. C. Killed the story because they said you did not have enough facts it didnt reach their level of journalism yes we had multiple named women in every draft of the story we had audio of Harvey Weinstein admitting to a crime but more pertinently they ordered us to stop and it seems a. B. C. Was not the only one to fall into the trap of enabling epstein to evade true media scrutiny but its vanity fair and the New York Times had several allegations of his inappropriate sexual behavior but chose to stick to safe stories on things like the origins of his wealth and was sought to be careful to avoid reporting some of the more suspicious details surrounding his death are a lot of men in those planes a lot of men visited that island the powerful man who came into power and so do i think he was killed 100 percent yes and maybe a. B. C. Was right no one knew who epstein was or maybe it didnt want to get on the wrong side of some very powerful people people who if you believe the room was might just now have blood on their hands. Be roebucks explained in the comments were made the moment of frustration a quick reminder of some of the growth of the story the 66 year old world. I believe i was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor back in 2008 and then registered as a sex offender in july this year he was arrested again he was about to face trial over the alleged creation of a sex Trafficking Network hes repeatedly denied those charges a month later epstein was found dead in his cell in an apparent suicide mccarran spoke to the founder of project birds as journalist james okeefe. I think its a huge concern and that the statement that you just read there was seemingly written by corporate lawyers for a. B. C. It directly contradicts what amy robach says on the set and this leaked hot mike tape i think comes across quite well and if i were her id be upset at these executives for squashing the story as well but the tape is if you watch the full 3 minute tape youll see that shes shes very upset that these interviews with the accusers were not aired she says shes 100 percent confident that epstein was was killed and this is a pretty prominent american a. B. C. News journalist making these statements and i have to wonder why did they not air these stories why why were they why was the sheld i think that a lot of these people are can are not trusting the media anymore in this country because the media does not cover the news i mean this is a big story this is a a huge story and you can see the the the anger you can see how frustrated amy robock when you listen when you watch this tape it directly contradicts what a. B. C. News is saying publicly now about not having enough corroboration there theyre fine airing the allegations against maybe Brett Kavanaugh for or trump or anybody else but when it comes to bill clinton and some of these folks d that are mentioned by amy in this hot mike tape they say they just didnt have enough corroboration im not sure how a. B. C. News defines a corroboration when it comes to credible witnesses talking about sexual assault. Sexually French Military forces a mom. Say they killed the leader of an Islamic Extremist Group in the west african country it comes after a militant attack which killed 53 soldiers last week malis president recently warned that the very existence of his countrys at risk because of a rise in violence by terror groups france has stressed its commitment to fighting the spread of islamist extremism in africas vast said hell region. In the should i feel nothing will be where is the antipodes attestation trying to my lonely hour guard at a time when says your magic events are happening all so we must be able to continue but for that there are conditions there are conditions for success even if the 70 years of bloodshed and violence isnt just continuing in mali some say its worsening in recent weeks attacks have been increasing with islamic states claiming responsibility. Another casualty of the mounting violence is france french troops have been stationed in mali a former colony for years. From now on will account for 50 percent of our budget for International Security and cooperation because this is where the security of the african continent and more generally security because part of our planet europe included is being threatened the trolls has been leading the charge of the mali was split in 2 in 2012 by islamists who declared surely a law in the north of the country it deployed troops to the region in 2013 but despite initial promise to hold this have regrouped and theyve spread violence has spilled over into neighboring countries but kenya faster and nisha now despite repeated commitments from president mccone to shore up the fragile region hes just not been able to stabilize the. Mali and government and the number of attacks has a doubled since 2016 despite that france is intent on staying in this a hell our commitment to the ease and remains a priority for france will take time to defeat these groups who thrive on the social and economic difficulties of this region as the violence spreads across mali the failure of the french and u. N. Troops to keep a lid on it is stirring other tensions mali and military families have complained that the army is not being given sufficient resources to fight the insurgency thats said to protest not just to denounce terrorism but also the presence of foreign troops patients for military progress is wearing thin some groups are calling for a change of tack advocating opening up dialogue with the chartists that something front has previously ruled out so choose to have mollies top officials but with the current impasse a new solution is needed or the death toll is likely to only voice. R. T. Paris journalists and africa expert john simm believes the french presence in the region could in fact be counterproductive. It comes at a time when people say that they those that have come from the outside and that people should only europeans and the french specifically so there are times when people say they will overstayed their welcome theres a time when theyve crossed a line and feel that the local support that they once were receiving may be declining i think were coming close to that point because at some point in time were coming close to 7 years that theyve been and will be so close to 10 years if not more ringback and thats what some point the money government has got to realize that theyre not making the relevant gains that they once were and more so. If things become counterproductive over time the settlers always been a difficult one again we are seeing for the 1st time if not in many most recent times where i asked and alqaeda us into working together and weve seen them accept your creating on the same territory mallees clearly one of those territories so it can be very difficult to dislodge them and its going to be very difficult for the same help to become free of terrorism and free of jihadists.

Also i now do recall a conversation on september 1st 2900 in warsaw with you mr your mack this brief pull aside conversation followed a larger meeting involving Vice President parents and president selenski in which president selenski had raised the issue of suspension of u. S. Aid to ukraine directly with Vice President pence after that large meeting i now recall speaking individual with mr your mac rest said that resumption of u. S.
