Election with student debt a hot button issue for voters what life is like under the burden of alone. You cant really think about. All these bills because of because a. Lot of people feature. International live from our studio with me welcome to the program. The highly anticipated one to one is underway at the g. 20 summit in the japanese city of president Vladimir Putin and trump are meeting behind closed doors on the sidelines of the gathering is their 1st face to face since the reported trump of collusion with russia in the 2016 president ial campaign joking. Responded to a generous question whether he would warn putin not to meddle in next years election in the us. Really. Were going to win. A gold medal. With. The summit keeping across everything thats going on bring us up to speed whats happening there right now. Again while sometimes it seems that all some u. S. Media organizations want when the see these rare moments of donald trump together with a lot of important for the u. S. President just to make sure that he keeps telling all for warning. Not to meddle in the u. S. Ally and so thats how that explains to scene that we just showed our viewers and i can tell you that you may or may not have expected much of that part of their conversation in that very short bit that the journalists were allowed to see but i can tell you that it was very quick and very formal have a look. At it with the president. His representative my representative he admitted the future. Including really into the. Disarmament. Of protectionism you recall your way and were going to discuss a lot of different things. They create midi very very good relationship. We look forward to spending time together on a very positive things going to come out of the way so glad im here thank you very much thank you. What appeared to be less formal was when the camera zoomed in on the tube. Years as they walked in the hall where the socalled g. 20 family photo ceremony was taking place in fact yes they were walking side by side donald trump tapped the russian president on the shoulder and you could clearly see that they were having a quick lively conversation unfortunately i cant read lips so i cant say what exactly they were talking about what i can tell you though is that the last time the 2 leaders properly met was in helsinki finland that was exactly one year ago and the meeting that was scheduled for the g 20 summit in argentina 7 months ago was canceled at the very last moment so of course right now they have a lot to go over. Syria ukraine north korea and you heard donald trump mention disarmament that is of course the issue of arms control some messages did come from the 2 leaders previous the hinting that both of them are ready to start discussions on possibly some kind of new Nuclear Treaty so far though with this issue its only been going downhill and of course were remember how donald trump dropped the socalled intermediate range Nuclear Forces treaty last year now i have to tell you that there is still a big highlight of friday that we are awaiting that is the talks between the russian president and the u. K. Prime minister to resign may thats another one that we havent seen for a while were expecting this to happen and about 2 hours of course the poisoning case had really taken its toll on how london is getting along with moscow and just before heading to. Putin gave a big interview to the financial or Financial Times story where. He did on that issue a little bit shortly before his handshake with the reason make. All ringback this fuss about spies and counterspies none of it is worth serious intergovernmental relations the spy story ready is not worth 5 crew bricks or 5 pounds for the. Issues concerning intergovernmental relations are measured in billions and the fate of millions of people how could we compare one with the. Another key thought from the russian leader was that he believes the fact the reason may is about to step down as the leader of the British Government could be a reason for her q. Really be willing to turn the page when it comes to ukase ties with russia at this point this is what we heard from the russian president in fact that was a part of the Financial Times interview that came out only about 12 hours ago now its whole its a whole different story because of the leaders are meeting face to face here and osaka i can tell you that it looks like the donald trump who get together is already underway for an hour and we are are awaiting another very important by a lot in about 2 hours as ive said thats going to be between mr putin and between between mr putin to resume at. The g. 20 summit in. Japan coming back on the day. Of. The un special rapporteur on torture has once again highlighted his concerns over the case and. And is now accusing the. Inhumane treatment of the wiki leaks founder refusing to publish an article he wrote about his. Findings in the article nails melzer argues that assad has been standard to divert attention from the revelations wiki leaks has helped expose he also says the whistleblower has been deprived of his fundamental rights and suffered full fledged psychological torture during his time in the Ecuadorian Embassy in london we spoke to nels mansour himself and he told us the reasons the media refused to publish his article some of them said it wasnt high enough on their news agenda some of them said it was not within their core area of interest but you know there have been reporting all of them on the case of do you know when it was about his cat and his skateboard and kind of the allegations that he smeared excrement on the walls but you have very serious piece that actually tries to ask. This public narrative to actually show the facts below it then the modern trusted sign is currently serving a 50 week sentence in the u. K. For skipping bail back in 2012 hes expected to face a u. S. Extradition hearing in february next year. In may nails melzer highlighted the songes prison conditions as a major concern that was said to show an alarming deterioration in his mental and physical state the u. K. Responded saying meltzer shouldnt interfere leaving it to british courts to make their judgments his nails mouth again on the suffering chilliness ashas faced. I knew that i was going to get into a very politicized environment when i visited i didnt know him before so i took with me to experienced medical experts of psychiatry and the forensic expert and have worked for decades in examining torture victims just to go to the objective scientific medical basis for my assessment but they found this person who shows all the symptoms the rhetorical for a person who has been exposed to prolonged psychological torture he has been exposed to public mobbing now thats a slippery slope you know. In a debate when its 2 side its more being basically Something Like mudslinging thats not torture yet but when you start exposing a isolated individual who cannot defend himself to a sustained campaign of shaming of humiliation or ridicule of even Death Threats and calls for his assassination and hes completely isolated then that can cause severe psychological trauma r. T. Sends requests for comment to news media elicit by asking them why oped wasnt published as soon as we get them. Now meanwhile a friend of the binney has been released from jail in ecuador after being held there for more than 2 months without charge a Digital Privacy activist ali was accused by aquittal of trying to hack Government Computers he was arrested hours after genius arches and had his asylum revoked and police removed him from the London Embassy r. T. Spoke to says hes never worked for him leaks and that prosecutors tried to link him to a sars. I feel persecuted because public official from going on t. V. Lying about my case and then giving conflict they have to mount me i feel persecuted because my legal rights have been broken repeatedly and many many times over this process i cant tell you what the reasons are behind it but i can tell you that its politically motivated and there are 2 main reasons why i say this the 1st one is that during the 1st 3 hearings the reasons the judges gave for keeping me in prison were not actually compatible with ecuador law my initial detention was illegal which was confirmed by the habeas corpus tribunal last week and finally the president and the minister of interior has repeatedly gone on television show. Saying several different strands about my case that they didnt contradict and when they gave witness testimony 2 weeks ago. Campaigns for the 2020 president ial elections in the us are already well underway and one is looking to gain political polls across many platforms one of them is student debt considered a hot topic for democratic primaries candidate Bernie Tsongas things he has a solution to the problem simply not acceptable that our Younger Generation through no fault of their own will have a lower standard of living then their parents this proposal completely eliminate student debt in this country and ends the absurdity of sentencing an entire generation as we heard sondos is urging to raise old student debt and he wants wall street to foot the bill keller explains. Now Bernie Sanders says it can all be covered by simply taxing stock market transactions after all why not have some of the proceeds cover americas bills as you can imagine the Financial Traders are not thrilled theres 2 problems with financial transaction taxes and one of them is they dont raise enough revenue ok and number 2 is that they distort markets and the stock market is one of the bright spots in our economy lets drop the unnecessary costs of university and college instead of subsidizing past mistakes or failures and all that will do is encourage all the college to go out and charge more money concept is good to do with those who overburden but its regressive you should focus on low income families and working families frankly not the wealthy how are you going to do this 8000. 00 at a State University for a year but maybe 60000. 00 for the prestigious private university thats all forgiven what about the people who pay their loans back but whether you like Bernie Sanders solution or not the problem of student debt is still hanging over our heads the total amount owed is one point 56. 00 trillion dollars and weve got over 44700000. 00 people in the United States getting a bill each month the average amount owed is roughly 37172. 00 now the prices being charged by universities have continued to go up in 1907 your average private university in the United States charged roughly 29500. 00 but by 2018 that number had increased 246900 dollars thats a price increase that far outstrips inflation so tuition goes up and the government guarantees loans for almost everyone and colleges make a lot of money lenders make a lot of money and students well they get the short end of the stick if youre sitting in the state legislature and looking for money the University System is 1. 00 of the biggest cause so when you realize what we put them 2 percent last year they didnt go out of business lets cut the other 2 percent the man appointed by the u. S. Government to handle this massive couldnt handle it he walked away set frontman who was the student loan ombudsman for the Consumer Protection bureau said this in his resignation. In the early 7 years i was proud to be part of an agency that no policy and no administration unfortunately that is no longer the case at every turn your political appointees have silenced warnings by those of us tossed with standing up to Service Members and students so we decided to talk to some students here at n. Y. U. An Expensive University in new york city and find out how they feel about their future with student debt hanging over them that you cant really think about moving on with life and getting on with your job and everything because you have this and just burden of your debts falling you could reach upward of 60 years or so and youre spending many years paying that off and you really cant start your life i have all these bills i cant pay off because of because of my my College Tuition so its bad i feel like people like specially when trying to start a family like i know thats a very expensive a costly. Like the burden of paying like their Student Loans off and stuff like that that would be very detrimental for a lot of people in the future now the idea that millions of people with tens of thousands of dollars in debt can just move ahead and have normal lives buying houses and cars and spending at the same rate as their parents isnt physically realistic is it. R. T. New york Americas National Security Agency seem to be up to their old tricks reportedly collecting private phone data without permission the story on will after this break. Most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand out of the News Business just as the right questions and the right answers. Question. Were going to St Petersburg International Economic forum and the topic at all is are we witnessing a paradigm shift in the Global Economic order well the answer of course is yes its a matter of degree. Of globalization period that we had is that theyll be a new globalization period it will be a network driven i predict that america will become a Subscription Service like netflix you also describe to america and they have to offer you a Value Proposition to keep your subscription alive. Welcome back to the program a woman from the u. S. State of alabama who lost her unborn baby when she was shot in the stomach is now being charged with Manslaughter Police believe the woman is guilty for putting herself and the child at risk. The only true victim in this was the unborn baby it was the mother of the child who initiated and continued the fights which resulted in the death of her own unborn baby that child is dependent on its mother to try to keep it from home and she shouldnt seek out unnecessary physical altercations. It was 5 months pregnant when the fighting started the shooter was initially charged with manslaughter but then acquitted arson investigation found she was acting in selfdefense police say it was ms jones who initiated the fight allegedly in a dispute over the babys father the decision comes shortly after alabama authorized the controversial abortion bill the bill was signed in may and is now said to be the harshest one in the u. S. It bans abortion at any stage of pregnancy even in cases of rape or incest and criminalizing the procedure but for women and doctors its still unclear whether the bill will become law miss jones has now been released on bail but the case has already sparked outrage. Marcia jones was pregnant when she was shot in the stomach while in a fight with another woman over the babys father the fetus died now shes been charged with murder this antiabortion laws are unjust she must not be charged marche jones who was indicted for manslaughter for losing a pregnancy after being shot in the abdomen her shooter remains free we are going to get out of jail and assist her with legal representation alabama is one of the most dangerous places in the country for a black woman trying to carry her pregnancy to term and this prosecution is just one more attack on the basic human rights and dignity of black women in our state. Antiabortion Initiative Still seems to have many supporters in alabama opponents believe it should be enshrined in the law branding the an historic stand for human life attorney Evan Williams its unfair and women can be charged for losing a child. Its a very interesting kerry swear its linking in the rights of abortion to. Manslaughter under alabamas new abortion laws were just going down. The 1st of many things which seem to be quite contradictory to the case roe v wade which is being decided by the Supreme Court i believe its extremely unfair and unprecedented that theyre going to try to charge her for manslaughter for the loss of her child in an altercation has not been heard before and it seems as if the state of alabama is trying to test new waters i dont think the outrage is going to have the state of alabama to reconsider those absolutely not i think the outrage is what theyre looking for to in my opinion to see this case possibly overturn roe v wade so i think theyre counting on the outrage.
