This is our International Im john thomas certainly glad to have you with us general Election Campaigning in the u. K. Got off to a bad tempered start on wednesday with boys johnson launching a series of scathing attacks on the Opposition Leader the Prime Minister appealed to the public to vote for his conservative party rather than jeremy corbins labor which he claimed has failed to take a tough enough stance on russia. Come with us a government that believes britain should stand in the world or go with generally could be in the labor party who sided with putin when russia ordered poisonings on the streets. Prime minister there in the grab that years referring to the script poisoning case back in march 28th seen of course russia did get the blame for this consistently denied all the allegations ever since because the Prime Minister theyre bringing up the scandal to basically discredit Jeremy Corbyn as part of the Campaign Going forward and it wasnt the only anti russian the negative russian reference thats been used so far in the campaign the Prime Minister has also compared Jeremy Corbyn mistah in saying that hes attacking the wealth of the landowning classes when response the labor m. P. Emily so angry has self as raised questions over Boris Johnsons top advisor Dominic Cummings who spent 3 years in russia after he graduated in the 1990 s. And the Prime Minister is also being accused of a cover up as number 10 is failing refusing to publish a report by the security and Intelligence Services about russian infiltration in british politics and then i saw him break asked why so we are bound to ask what is downing street so worried about why would they not welcome an official report into attempted russian interference in the 2016 referendum whether successful otherwise and i fear it is because they realize that this report will lead to other questions about the links between russia and brics it and with the current leadership of the tory party which risks the rating their Election Campaign however mr crispin chair responded by saying theres nothing unusual in delaying the publication of the report ahead of the election as it needed to be examined and there was no proof of collusion it drove the rich for her to suggest that somehow the conservative party and this government is linked to russia and this information. Given the way that our own Party Leadership is out is the responsibility of Party Leadership. There is no evidence to suggest. The kremlin has successfully engaged in interference in our electoral processes so with 5 weeks to go until the election the mudslinging has already started with all the parties trying to compromise each other but perhaps the best way to compromise you is to mention or perhaps indicate any allegations or any links whatever to do with russia. Talk radio host and columnist john gardner told us that cheap political point scoring is deflecting attention from crucial domestic charges. When we voted to salute the levy has to get her exit it was only just about the. Playground of all that was for both of their houses this is exactly the kind you grow up in that people are fed up with its just complete and no i think the british a letter of fed up of this sort of garbage lets talk about policy is lets talk about what youre going to do to the country and less have our democratic right away and about this through a change when we do vote for whoever we vote for and whoever wins one a year in parliament actually implement the what we the people tell you to do.

Arties in case you missed it he has also been exploring the attempts by british politicians to discredit one another by highlighting in their own quirky way opponents a dubious ties to russia you can find the full version on you tube here is a quick preview. Britains labor party has expressed concerns that this man Dominic Cummings the Prime MinisterBoris Johnsons most senior aide has be. With britains great by election fever its a bad time to have your name in the same sentence as russia and a good way to smear your opponent. Can result in blog says that he spent 94 to 97 being trained up to undermine the west at some interesting point decades into the just kidding actually the floor just says there i worked in russia 994 to 7. Various projects. And last but not least Prime MinisterBoris Johnson how could he possibly be a russian agent you are one hes called. But its true he said to me i found the russian rubles and the most incriminating possible 3 he won shook hands with yours truly true story and thats only it takes.

With everything. I had i tried for 3 years to get on to no avail and now its all coming out i think these new well of revelations and i presume. Im just so right now that every day i get more and more as i miss like. It was all what we had it was unreal now this came to us from an insider within the network an insider who currently works at a. B. C. News leaked us this tape and that person is still on the inside so that we expect more to come here its quite telling that this insider leaked this tape to project their its us and not the Washington Post the New York Times c. B. S. Or c. N. N. Because they seem to want to protect the people that were working with Jeffrey Epstein again amy robach saying that f f c was blackmailing people theres a lot of powerful people on those airplanes that amy is 100 percent certain he did not commit suicide i dont know why she wont say that publicly but there she is in the leaked tape on the set of the program saying these things when nobody is looking and reminder of how the story developed 66 year old multimillionaire Jeffrey Epstein was convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008 and was then registered as a sex offender in july of this year he was arrested again and was about to face trial over the alleged creation of a sex Trafficking Network charges he repeatedly denied a month later obscene was found dead in his cell in an apparent suicide are too soft to taylor from this more. 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 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 following 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 sure is cheating everything she was fighting for 12 years to come out we can is here to talk to us it was unbelievable what we have cleared with everything robot claims the story was stopped from going to 2015 because according to the people as no one knew who was funny 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.

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 on the marquee world of epstein and his entourage as they flew around the walls on his private jet dubbed the least express powers found out that we have whole allegations are false andrew and read us a 1000000 different ways i viewed 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 while this exposition was saucy 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 the billionaire 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 part podcast that will air in the new year youd be forgiven if that rings a bell because a. B. C. s response is uncannily similar to n. B. C. s comment about its coverage or lack 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 maybe. Up starting to fade 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 say 5 stories on things like the origins of his wealth and was sought in the castle 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 our hands in 2 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. That lawyer contacted the a. B. C. Network at the time saying the allegations being made by the accuser interviewed by the channel would not be trusted while the anchor has backtracked slightly since the video was leaked. Amy robach explained that her comments were made in a private moment of frustration but found the founder of a project very again james okeefe says a. B. C. Does not shy away from other high profile cases. 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 if the only conclusion i can draw is that a lot of these Network Executives are very close to the people they were hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein per amy amy roebuck political commentator and new York Observer columnist andre walker gave us his thoughts on a. B. C. s decision not to air the interview why is it that there appears to be one roof a woman group of people on the move the rule for another group of people i dont have a problem whatsoever with not broadcasting allegations against people that own cooperated but that is precisely what happened to Pratt Kavanagh and time and time again we see it with anybody on the rights whether that be donald trump right the way through to local representatives in britain odd to america and so i just think theres a theres a great degree of hypocrisy have bought him is the thing that i really want to know and i dont care about trial by media im much more interested in the Police Looking into this and the crop the judicial process why do so time and time again the clinton told how this way around the just seems to be deeply disturbing and deeply distasteful how do you know time and time again were expected to ignore suggested indiscretions by bill clinton said in a way that we would not do for all the people of why decides this now hey look im not a conspiracy theorist but it is all dogs italy true that there is one rule for one group of people are the real for bill clinton and hillary.

About this is R T International iraqi authorities are holding talks on constitutional amendments amid ongoing violence in the country around 260. 00 people are believed to have been killed there since antigovernment demonstrations started a month ago protesters are demanding a Major Overhaul of the political system which was established after the u. S. Led invasion back in 2003 argues Daniel Hawkins has been delving deeper. Iraq is no stranger to turmoil the country see little peace and even less the bullets he says the u. S. Led invasion of 2003 mass protests and violence of regulating gulf the state of these though are the worst since the overthrow of Saddam Hussein 16 years ago. Hundreds killed dozens in just one week by live ammunition many thousands injured amid a heavy crackdown by Security Forces other governments to provide special forces imposed curfews and an internet blackout across the whole country but thats just angered crowds even more roads and bridges have been blocked by demonstrators who have also tried to take over buildings both in the capital baghdad and across other cities why is this happening to some these protests address years of grievances corruption unemployment poor Public Service is there a source of anger across many countries but in iraq things should be different iraq should be thriving the countrys oil revenue has exceeded 850000000000 in the post saddam years with production nearly doubling despite the internal strife with iraq estimated to hold almost 10 percent of the globes proven reserves its prospects should be growing a report by the International Energy agency predicts revenue to hit nearly 5 trillion dollars in just over 15 years time and optimistic estimates set back by years of conflict but you get the picture just months ago any joy in sex on a b. P. Were fighting for the right to build a pipeline in the country with tens of billions. Dollars at stake and yet reality for most of the rockies is bleak last year iraq was ranked 1685858 corruption index but for people surviving on a day to day basis thats one of the smallest concerns the World Food Program reveals more than half of iraqis are at risk of Food Insecurity with unicef figures last year showing one in 4 children living in poverty so what happened former u. S. Defense secretary robert gates stated on a visit to baghdad that a new era was just around the corner more than ever i believe the goal of a secure and stable and democratic iraq is within reach almost 12 years on things couldnt be further from the truth to make sense of post intervention iraq and where exactly is grievances lawyer lets speak to nicholas j. Davis author of blood on our hands the American Invasion and destruction of iraq mr davis thanks so much for joining us today good to have you with us now these protests theyve been going on since mid october they show no sign of slowing down indeed theres been a government crackdown condemned by Many Organizations where do these grievances of law i that are spinning out with such violence are all over the country the people of iraq you know i still you know have really been ignored and all this theres still suffering from the absolute destruction and economic devastation of iraq by the u. S. Invasion and occupation by statistics iraq having 10 percent nearly 10 percent of the worlds oil reserves this should be a wealthy state yet were seeing something quite different here how much of this is about that inequality about that the wealth which is not trickling down which is being lost going down the drain to a corrupt system there were large state owned companies that that was the very basis of the iraqi a cause. To me and they supported this you know mixed mixed economy beyond that that was all completely destroyed unemployment under the u. S. Occupation at one point breached at least 60 percent essential leave the sort of. You know pyramid of power in you know occupied and post occupation iraq where you know this tiny group of u. S. And iranian backed exiles has said you know with u. S. And iranian support created a monopoly on power that the vast majority of the disenfranchised alienated people of iraq have never supported the u. S. Who really has completely discredited itself from start to finish it has done nothing that has helped the people of iraq at all you know either before or after the invasion. And staying in iraq the Dutch Defense ministry has admitted for the 1st time that airstrikes have conducted there in 2015 that led to civilian casualties we have announced the location date and time of 2 bombings by dutch sixteens in iraq the dutch government established civilians was certainly over every probably killed. You know are the 2 air strikes in question the 1st took place in june 2015 when an ice will bomb factory was targeted because of secondary explosions that killed over 70 people including civilians 3 months later in mosul a civilian house was wrongly identified as a terrorist headquarters and that strike left 4 people dead these tragic incidents that make up just a minute fraction of cases where civilians have been caught up in deadly aerial operations in iraq. Over the 1st 3 years of the campaign in the u. S. Led coalition is accused of killing nearly 3700. 00 civilians in airstrikes that is according to the nongovernmental group iraq body count the coalition was comprised of 59 members not all of which though took part in direct combat their stated goal was to destroy the Islamic State calif and antiwar activist kathy kelly told us western countries should be held accountable for their roles in the war. I would say people of conscience everywhere how to come down and work very very hard to call attention to crimes against humanity war crimes responsibility for torture and the consequence of our weapon pedlers it isnt that i want to see anybody go to prison but i do believe that our military leaders and military systems have to be held accountable and rehabilitated i hope that all around the world people are trying. To be reparations to the people in the countries where western countries have made war against them for years and years and appear reparations for the suffering cause this is what a civilized country to do.
