Broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is our international. Certainly glad to have you with us. General election campaigning in the u. K. Got off to a bad tempered start on wednesday with Boris Johnson launching a series of scathing attacks on the Opposition Leader the Prime Minister appealed to the public vote for his conservative party rather than jeremy corbins labor which he claimed to has failed to take a tough enough line 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 poisonings 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 with stalin saying that hes attacking the wealth of the landowning classes while in response the labor m. P. Emily saw him self has 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 26000 referendum where the successful or 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 derailing their election campaign. However mr crispin cher 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 links to the russian this information given the way that her own Party Leadership is out is the responsibility of her own Party Leadership. There is no evidence to suggest russia or 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 a columnist john gardner told us that cheap political points going is deflecting attention from crucial domestic charges. When we voted to leave has to get her exit it was only just about the. Playground of all of their houses for both of their houses this is exactly the kind. That people are fed up with is just complete. Nonsense and 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 and how about this for 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.

Referendum result 3 years ago we have your option parliament and im not even sure after this election where there will be any less rotten week lets his policies lets have them debated lets not have facebook spats and all he said she said and did you know this person tweeted this in 2015 its all stupid lets get the politics arties in case you missed it has also been exploring the attempts by british politicians to discredit one other by one another by highlighting very opponents of dubious ties to russia in their own quirky way you can find the full version on you tube heres a preview. Britains labor party has expressed concerns that this man Dominic Cummings the Prime Minister Boris Johnsons most senior aide has to be. Right with britain great by election 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 indistinct point decades into the just kidding actually the blow just says this i worked in russia 994 to 7 on various projects. And last but not least Prime Minister Boris Johnson how could he possibly be a russian navy and you are one hes called for a. Truth then to be found on the russian rubles and the most incriminating prize of all 3 he wants yours truly true story and thats only it takes. It lead to video appears to cast doubt on the impartiality of americas a. B. C. News channel in a Network Anchor claims the station quashed her explosive interview with an accuser of disgraced tycoon Geoffrey Epstein back in 2015 who allegedly detailed the convicted pedophiles predatory behavior now the following is part of the video obtained by Transparency Group project. With everything. I have i tried for 3 years to get on to no avail and now its all coming out and things lou well of revelations and i presume had i was so right now like every day i get more work because i missed like 5 weeks 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 steam 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. A reminder of how the story developed 66 year old multimillionaire jeffrey abstain 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 epstein was found dead in his cell in an apparent suicide so i ask you taylor brings us more. Live t. V. One o one check your mike then check it again project 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 side 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 2 u. B. S. Dealings which implicated high profile figures like bill clinton Prince Andrew she told me everything she did everything she was fighting for 12 years to come out 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 up stuff as no one knew who was funny that because just a few years before theyd been happily sipping champagne at his manhattan townhouse you see back in 20 media 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 what both a. B. C. And c. B. S. Has phosphor to 2015 managed to entice virginia robots to fray one of the victims out of hiding produces fear. 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 stoop of a lifetime to phrase through wide open the door on the marquee world of apps tide and his entourage as they flew around the wall down his private jet dubbed the elite express palace found out that we had her whole allegations about Prince Andrew and threatened us a 1000000 different ways 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 for a minute bill network like a. B. C. Had backed down and given while this exposition was seen more salacious than mother reports on that side it wasnt the 1st 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 a mug alongside testimony from a 14 year old go claiming to have had sexual relations with a 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 are reporting there are 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 pod cast that will air in the new year youd be forgiven if that rings a. Because a. B. C. s response is on kaminey 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 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 and so do i think he was killed 100 percent yes and maybe a. B. C. Was right no one knew who was or maybe it didnt want to get on the wrong side of some very powerful people people who were if you believe the room was might just now have blood on their hands epsteins lawyer contacted the a. B. C. Network at the time of the incident saying the allegations being made by the accuser interviewed by the channel could not be trusted and while the anchor has backtracked slightly since the video was leaked. I mean robock explained that her comments were made in a private moment of frustration but founder of project veritas 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 there. 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 but the only conclusion i can draw is that a lot of these Network Executives are very close to the people that 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 rule for one 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 are on 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 america and so i just think theres a theres a great degree of hypocrisy here boortz here 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 does time and time again the clinton couple have 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 the people of why decide exists now hey look im not a conspiracy theorist but is on drugs usually true that there is one rule for one group of people or the know the real for bill clinton and hillary. Run has started injecting uranium gas into that its Nuclear Facility fordo iranian president Hassan Rouhani has announced this in march tehrans 4th step in reducing it come under the Iranian Nuclear deal says the u. S. Withdraw from it rouhani said iran would reconsider the decision if certain conditions are met. In it is year out to my it would to the department of energy to begin to working on the centrifuges starting from tomorrow. Just like the previous ones that it is reversible our work will be conducted under the supervision of the International Atomic energy agency. The nuclear deal was signed between iran and 6 other parties in 2015 after almost 9 years of complex in negotiations in iran promised to stop its Nuclear Program in return for International Sanctions relief. Why steer the United States decided to withdraw from the deal and to reimpose a range of financial and economic sanctions since then European Countries and iran have struggled to keep the agreement alive for more on this lets cross it now live to ken stone of the Hamilton Coalition to stop the war thanks for being with us here in our 2 international so the iranian president said this additional enrichment step could be reversed however irans Supreme Leader has publicly ruled out new negotiations with the u. S. Unless sanctions are removed is either side going to blink. Well im glad you pointed out that the it was the u. S. And not iran that abrogated the j c p o a iran spent many years negotiating this deal at a cost of millions of dollars and actually billions of dollars of lost revenue for its europe you know its Nuclear Industry so when the u. S. Walked away from the deal it it felt betrayed and justifiably so however the iranian government has clearly indicated as you have just demonstrated by the speech by president rouhani that its willing to reverse all the increases in enrichment provided that the usa and all the other partners came back to the group to the j c p o a and renewed the dia. I think that this is a very reasonable position and failing that the u. S. Doing so doing so living up to its commitment to run under the Nuclear Nonproliferation treaty has every right to enrich uranium for peaceful purposes and i believe that they will continue to do so on last the u. S. Plays fair ball can talk to me about europe is there anything the european parties can do to. Keep the deal from breaking down without cooperation from washington especially given the financial clout that the u. S. Carries. Thats a good point. The europeans could grow a spine they have promised to keep they j c p o a going by protecting European Companies against u. S. Sanctions and penalties by creating a new form of currency and a new Financial Institution to protect European Countries from u. S. Penalties for continuing to deal with iran however nothing much has come out of this and it may have something to do with the fact that the u. S. Uses something called extra territory territoriality in order to punish companies. And not even the u. S. Companies that deal with iran we have a woman who is under extradition proceedings right now in vacs sitting under house arrest her name is mongo along the c. F. O. Of walk away lu is being held in canada at the behest of the u. S. For extradition to the u. S. Because they all lead the u. S. Alleges that her company dealt with iran so i think that the European Countries need to provide protection for their companies who wish to deal with iran otherwise there is little hope of this j c. P. O. Way being maintained all right thanks for being with us ken stone from the hamilton it coalition to stop the war d always interesting to talk to you on these types of subjects hope to have you get on out international thank you. Rocky 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 arties Daniel Hawkins has been delving deeper. Iraq is no stranger to turmoil the countrys seen little piece and even less the billet since the us 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 or the governments deployed 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 in iraq and where exactly the 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 that law i that are spinning out with such violence 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 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 and 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 it conducted there in 2015 led to civilian casualties we have announced the location dates and time of 2 bombings by dutch sixteens in iraq the dutch government established civilians was certainly over every probably killed here are the 2 air strikes in question the 1st took place in june 2015 when an ice will bomb factory was targeted it caused secondary explosions that killed over 70 people including civilians 3 months later in mosul a civilian house was wrongly identified as a terrorist headquarters that strike left 4 people dead and these tragic incidents 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 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 caliphate antiwar activists caffie kelly told us western countries should be held accountable for their roles in the war. Its a time when and and. I would say people of conscience everywhere around how to calm down and work very very hard to call attention to crimes against humanity war crimes responsibility for torture and the consequence of our weapon peddlers it isnt that i want to see anybody go to prison but i do believe that and military leaders and military systems have to be held accountable and we have to i hope that all around the world people are trying.
