Their good morning just in the morning here in moscow this is out International Form a new center here with me kevin irwin and i 30 minute world news roundup thanks for joining starting with this than the sex trafficking chair and child abuse trial of a billionaire Jeffrey Epstein is spilling over into the white house President Trump has had to defend his labor secretary alex acosta when acosta was a u. S. Attorney in miami way back he signed off a plea agreement in an earlier case involving upstate which critics say was far too lenient. Its been a great really great the secretary of labor. The rest of it will have to look at we have to look at it very carefully but were talking about a long time ago and again it was a decision made i think not by him but by a lot of people so were going to look at it very carefully Jeffrey Epstein a registered sex offender is accused of trafficking and luring dozens of underage girls to his mansion if found guilty he may face up to 45 years in prison now the democratic leadership is putting pressure on the team then over a potential obstruction of justice secretary costa must step down as u. S. Attorney he engaged in the conscionable agreement with jeffrey abstain kept secret from courageous young victims prevented them from seeking justice this was now by the president of the us when he appointed him to the cabinet i am calling on secretary acosta to resign instead of prosecuting a predator and serial sex trafficker of children. A constant. Jeffrey epstein a billionaire caught trafficking underage girls between 20022005 has been arrested yet again this time after horrendous new evidence came to life beginning at least 2002 and continuing till 2000. And 13 is alleged to have dozens of victims epstein is well connected and hes evaded these charges for years thanks to a deal he made with the costa when he was the u. S. Attorney in miami instead of being charged with sex trafficking and child rape he only pled guilty to a lesser charge of soliciting prostitution from a minor while serving his time epstein had up to 12 hours a day 6 days a week as work release at his Downtown Office he served only 13 months before then being released on probation during his probation epstein took numerous trips to both the Virgin Islands and new york city in his private jet and the new evidence has forced acosta to now come forward and defend his decision to give such special treatment to a sexual predator. With the evidence available more than a decade ago federal prosecutors insisted that i go to jail register as a sex offender and put the world on notice that he was a sexual predator now that you havent seen additional testimonies available the new york prosecution offers an important opportunity to more fully bring him to justice so democrats just heard about this we are dealing are filled with outrage well actually know theyve known about it for quite some time this is a cost his confirmation hearing back in 27 seen the lawsuit questions why trumps nominee for labor secretary former miami u. S. Attorney you know Xander Acosta cut a nonprosecution deal with epstein a decade ago rather than pursuing a federal indictment in fact the nature of a cost as punishment if you can really call it that was never secret the department of justice has defended the actions of the office in that matter under both president bush and president obamas administrations so why the sudden outrage well according to Chuck Schumer timing is everything the president needs to answer for his statements he has made about his relationship with mr epstein particularly since President Trump appointed mr acosta. To such a powerful position see the issue is that a trumpet ministration official is now caught up in the outrage around Jeffrey Epstein and trump indeed does have some skeletons in his closet when it comes to the epstein case epstein visited mara largo however according to the attorney who represents one of epsteins victims trump threw him out after he started making passes at underage girls on the property furthermore trump seems to be the only prominent individual actually cooperated with the investigation into epsteins crimes trump is the only person who picked up the phone and said lets just to give you as much time as you want we will need to know it was very helpful so that does not put trump in the clear he certainly was familiar with the sexual predator however so was bill clinton the former president actually took 27 different flights on Jeffrey Epsteins private airplanes some of them without being accompanied by secret service and there are rumors circulating that there were underage girls on the plane clinton had his secret service with him and many times he did not almost every time that clintons name is on the pilot logs there are underage girls there are initials and there are names of many many girls on that. Private plane but clinton is just background noise right now epstein fits in with the anti trump chorus from Mainstream Media the federal sex trafficking case against donald trump old friend Jeffrey Epstein tries to both the president and notably his labor secretary alex are cost him the man who cut that deal with him that was his job then now that labor secretary hes got supporters are part of this administration so perhaps the victims in this case should be happy that donald trump was elected after all until trumps name was brought in and attached to the case there seemed to be far less interest and outrage about epsteins atrocious crimes from certain voices. R. T. New york. Islamic state terrorists. Who took part of the 2015 paris terror attacks has received 500 euros compensation for a legal terms of detention he was in a prison cell under permanent surveillance something that contradicts european human rights laws. Because got the latest on it this morning for you so look this infamous name and the last remaining member of a group behind the worst terror attack in. Us. Just months later 32. 00 people were killed in cool would need to filming on Brussels Transport tops is now serving a 20 Year Prison Sentence yet its now emerged this self confessed to harvest has found himself on the right side of the legal system of the french state was forced to pay him 500 euro why do you bring. Still slams incarceration here france he was subjected to stop surveillance back in 2016 then Justice Minister explained why that decision was taken i made a ministerial order authorizing Video Surveillance 24 hours a day and on the basis of this decree which i took after consultation with the National Commission on informatics and liberty i took an individual decision on mr disallowed to be put into Video Surveillance even the unions supported the governments position why is that scope of surveillance was justified. In this case Video Surveillance was an effective means of ensuring that the individual did no harm himself and if needed to stand trial for what he did but does lambs who is continued to challenge it and they won in 2017 is minister to court agree that his detention conditions were illegal but this information has only just come to light and its causing outrage. The french judiciary has condemned the state to pay 500 euros to a terrorist who caused the deaths of more than 130 people and left 400 injured on the 13th of november 25th seen this is a disgrace im appalled by the court order to pay 500. 00 euros to so obviously this legal outrage must be reviewed urgently this french stay owes nothing to islamist barbarians so what do people here in paris make of this case. Honestly i dont think that 500 euros is a lot and i also agree with the human rights side of it but he didnt respect the human rights of the people either i believe that when you are. Creating crime that is so horrific that perhaps you should just lose all of your entailments and privileges nonpros it was about absolutely not thats not normal he committed a crime and now we have to pay him its not. Normal see really amazing that the french government had to p. D. F. If she found ridge fine but if we are looking to do side of the justice weve got some rules weve got some and we need to respect general. Is no good at all because hes still a terrorist and should be the other way he should be charging condemned some very diverse opinions on a subject that many people were simply shocked by it seems though that has no intention of taking the money so far hes refused it charlotte even ski ati paris we are so i guess about the rights of the wrongs of this case and it turns out its not so clear cut. The issue around how we was treated by the french authorities is an important issue regardless of ones background regardless of ones you know situation in terms of what theyve been accused of the rule of law applies equally to same case in belgium actually where they receive compensation because they are in m. R. A restricted area within prison and they get one euro per day i mean this is ridiculous its not the fact that theyre received one euro its the fact that the court goes as far as the same time on this issue i mean in middle Eastern Countries there is none of that well the reality is somewhat different the people who carried out those a terrorist attacks in paris and in brussels and some of them have got very serious sentences theyve been given life sentences of 20 plus years you know we look here in the u. K. Theres been many terror plots that have been foiled and the people involved have been given long custodial sentences well i think that the sentences should be the real sentences that the judge pronounces if it is 2030 years life it is life it is 30 years or 20 years people in the street. Should not get emotional about this but they dont understand the system they have the impression that the victims are penalized while the Justice System defense criminals but youve got to take your own emotion out of it and said that the law applies equally to every single citizen and if the authorities the police are not above the law in western societies and if theyve done any particular action which is brought their authority into disrepute then they should be consequences and thats what the judge awarded damages to this individual. Court in italy is handed down life sentences to 24 people including high profile officials involved in operation condor or that was a campaign of political repression by us back to take the ships in the 1970 s. And eightys in 6 south american countries 23 of the 24 were sentenced in absentia the case was initially opened 2 decades ago by families of the victims. Kidnappings torture of tens of thousands killed including through being thrown out of flying planes the death flights with a cruel dose of irony the operation was also given the ariel name conduct for over a decade the dictatorships of 6 latin american states were cleansing their left leaning opposition through repression and state terror now their victims have some closure but only some the executers of operation condor couldnt have excelled the way they did without help we have followed events in argentina closely we wish the new government will wish it will succeed we will do what we can to help it succeed where were you on a difficult period it is a curious to win political criminal and terrorist activities tend to merge without any clear separation when the standard must establish with or ity in hindsight as stablish authority they did oh by all means quite literally all the 6 nations became staunch allies of the us for which the political purges in latin america became a convenient way to scorch communist idea from its backyard outpost of pinochet now a household name almost synonymous with tyranny enjoyed Financial Support from washington at least through his chief of intelligence some declassified documents referred to operation condo as a legitimate counterterrorism action moreover and Rick Kissinger then secretary of state was briefed on the murder operations of. Operation condor in august 1976 the operation would last until 1989 and for all those years the cia chose not to step in to prevent the brutal violence in fact the u. S. Kept its finger on the pulse of operation condor or aiding at times with strategic planning. Brazil argentina chile bolivia paraguayan year ago i make up the nets they keep in touch with one another through a u. S. Communication installation in the panama canal zone which covers all of latin america obviously this is the condo network which all of us have heard about over the last few years this cia did such a great job ensuring control of latin america through operation corndog that in 1977 just 2 years into its official phase europe took notes representatives of west german french and British Intelligence services had visited the condo Organization Secretary its important gerrys during the month of september 977. 00 in order to discuss methods for establishment of an anti subversion organization similar to condo due to their view that the terrorists averse of threats had reached such Dangerous Levels in europe as kissinger was well aware the cia knew all about this state department knew all about this and in fact the United States helped facilitate communications between the 6 countries that were involved in this people are getting some small measure of justice and its much too late many of the perpetrators have already died you have to realize this was a vast operation thousands and thousands of people involved 7 governments involved at least you have to also remember that you have the Intelligence Services of britain france and west germany also collaborating with these governments in south america so this was that Global Operation has silence critics silence reformers this is our read this period in history 17 minutes past 9 in the morning moscow time this wednesday hi there thanks for being with us this is r. T. International ahead american diabetic said the calendar for affordable medication will explain their predicament why theyre having to do that when we come back. You know worlds big partners. And conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to get the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. And shouting past each other its time for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now were watching closely watching the hawks. Countries thats part of its a country a sum of all that youve got. Stock markets that are owned by thats called 10 percent of the population most of us. And theyre what else is for and its a condition that for americans dont want to cop to its hard for but the fact is now youve got 150000000 more people america. Again people with diabetes in america say theyre forced to go to canada these days in order to get affordable insulin a group spent 150. 00 is no less on a bus trip to try to buy the medication that turns out to be 12 times less expensive over the border than is in the u. S. We spoke with a bus organizer so this is when i just went to c. V. S. In minneapolis minnesota and the retail price of that bile is 340. 00 when i went to london ontario to pick it out at the walmart pharmacy there. In u. S. Dollars the retail price was 26. 00 so there is a huge price discrepancy and so for so Many Americans they just simply cant afford it i have never had to personally ration insulin but from the high cost of insulin i have had to go into debt because of it ive had to put it on credit cards ive had to reach out to family members to help me pay for it because it has gotten too expensive that i cant cover it. Because that astronomical cause but i also realize there are people that are not as fortunate as me and they dont have family members they can reach out to that can help bail them out according to the u. S. To his associations 30000000. 00 americans suffer from the condition well more than 7000000. 00 rely on insulin and this comes amid a significant rise in the cost to treatment from 2012 to 2016 plus is almost doubled nicole smith told from the International Charity one international told us about the tragic consequences of having to rush an insulin. The price is raised to over 1200 percent the past 20 years and theres just no reason why its banned increasing to the point where people just theyre dying because they cant afford their insulin my family has paid the ultimate price of the pharmaceutical Companies Price gouging their patients. In 2017 my 26 year old son passed away. From diabetic ketoacidosis from rationing his insulin and he was rationing it because he couldnt afford it. The Monthly Price for his insulin and diabetic supplies was 1300. 00 is going to such an extreme that people are resorting to some really drastic measures to be able to get affordable insulin and people are traveling outside of the United States and going to other countries to purchase it where its actually affordable. Well John Dombrowski from a Pain Management center spoke to us about he thinks that increased competition would drive down the price of insulin in the United States. Sometimes it happens the United States the f. D. A. Requires pharmaceutical industry to have a certain standard of care and standards are great but sometimes Small Businesses cannot enter that market because its such a barrier by making a 1000 dollars or 3000. 00 a ye
