michelle dossier on alleged trump, russia. conclusion, and collusion which he now admits was not 100 percent accurate. ah . tuesday, october, the 19th. it is now just off at 10 am here in the russian capital. this is archie international variable. we'll continue. so posing a threat to the unions future, that's the accusation. the polish prime minister has leveled against the e. u. institution's mateusz mod up yet ski issued an angry warning ahead of his speech to the european parliament. unfortunately, to day, we are dealing with a very dangerous phenomenon where by various european union institutions usurp powers, they do not have under the treaties and impose their will on member states. poland set for this huge show down with the e u. this is tensions that have been building up for years now between the country and the e u institutions, but they really had a fire lit and under them recently, this is off, the poland top court issued a ruling saying that the country's own constitution had primacy over some you lost as infuriated, the top brass at brussels and m. p. 's themselves will be debating this subject later today. now they're so angry what they demanded the european commission did, is hit the button on new powers that would allow the commission to withhold funding to poland funding with billions and billions, upon billions of euro's and lessing, those powers shouldn't just be used against poland. they should be used against countries like hungry too, because any piece accused these 2 countries of undermining their own democracies. but the polish prime minister, who's also due to speak on tuesday as hit back out saying that it's the new itself . that is an democratic, we ought to be anxious about the gradual transformation of the union into an entity that would cease to be an alliance of free, equal and sovereign states, and instead become a single, centrally managed organism. when by institutions deprived of democratic control by the citizens of european countries, the polish prime ministers also warned the you need to change. it weighs because it faces so many potential crises. he talked about possible financial crisis, which he suggested because i the weaken or undermine the euro, to the point that it could collapse. and of course, there is this ongoing energy crisis in europe. napoleon is getting support from other quarters to including the outgoing german chancellor. this is anglo merkel, she said those demands by any piece to withhold those funds are actually quite saddening. and what she said needs to happen here is more high level discussion is a nurse with it. and i think it is now time to talk in that with the polish government about how we can overcome these difficulties. we have big problems, but my advice is to sell them and talks to find compromises. now this fall out between poland and the e. u. a, it has led to many people, fearing that the country could be perhaps a step closer to its own briggs. it a poll exit as it's been doubled in the media around the world. now that has led to whites or protests in poland with people cooling for it's government to sort of tie up ad to make up with the you. and while a po, legs, it may not be immediately on the cards. what this really is showing is that the use back is against the wall at the moment, and unless it takes clear and decisive action pretty quickly, there are fears that the whole order could crumble. british families who lost loved ones to cope at 19 and last year as care home crisis. and our taking legal action against the government ortiz, shadier. it was dusty breaks down the case. 2 daughters who lost their fathers in cove at head cow homes at the start of the pandemic, are now surveying the government. it's a landmark, actually not just in terms of a failure to protect the vulnerable responsibility for aggravating the risk while victory won't undo their loss. they hope it may help to protect others. i do not want anyone else to go through what we have been through as a family. i feel terrible guilt. i feel as though she was locked in to die. met hancock's protected freeing statement was a lie. the defendants have provided no evidence of measures to put a protective frank around care homes in just 3 months from march to june. last year, some samples he'd for living and care homes died from the virus in england and wales, with some official reports blaming. so. 2 inconsistent, reckless and appalling government policies for the huge data, all this weeks case against the department for health and social care, once it held to account this case will give thousands of families his sense that justice has been done. if we're, when, what happened to the residence of care homes in the pandemic was a national scandal. the government's approach to protect and vulnerable care home residence during the 1st wave of the pandemic is one of the most devastating failures in the modern era. rather than their home been a safe place. it became a breeding ground for a deadly disease. if the government had been completely honest at the time, instead of people in nursing homes and town homes, been almost a forgotten lot, which we still are. but it's not about how this is about people's lives. this is about what the government promised was happening when it really wasn't. everybody was involved, it was tracing this virus which is like you said, it is an unknown virus and an unknown entity. who knows what we have to do or what we could have done differently. and these are things that we need to learn from on the goldman should have learned allies ain't gonna get you anything. the sailors surrounding her homes are one of the biggest scandals of the pandemic for mass discharge of elderly patients from hospitals to cow homes without testing or isolation. and who can forget when the government says that hands wouldn't be affected at the beginning of the pandemic? of course, we now know that they were the worst effect. earlier this year and into 12 of march . the government's own official advice worse and am calling from it. it remains very unlikely that people receiving care in a care home will become infected. it wasn't true that the advice said dut or government guidance, published on the 25th of february of 2020 said twice. it was very unlikely people receiving care and care homes will be infected. this advice was withdrawn on the 13th of march. a few months later, boris johnson tried to shift the blame, saying it was cat homes that didn't follow the rules. many didn't really follow the procedures in the way that they could have. so well, this week's cases ultimately about to family search for justice. it runs far deeper, alleging a string of government blunders, but it may also end up serving as some small sol as for all those who lost loved ones as a result of those very mistakes, i will of the 10 people that we have that died. i could say that i was 99.9 percent . sure. sure. 3rd, and all of them died as a result of the call of it. but i think we only had a 3 positive test because that's all it was available at that time. and 2 of those were testing hospital in one was the one that i fall off. we didn't notice in care homes. my hancock stood on television and quite often at 5 o'clock when he was doing the breach in with the prime minister. we as a nursing home were sound and watch this briefing with interest obviously to see what the changes were, what was happening on a daily basis to be to see, ma hancock stood in front of the camera saying all care homes are now being tested . we weren't at all, absolutely not. the author of a bomb shell dossier on alleged trumpet, russia collusion, is standing by his claims while also admitting they may not be 100 percent true. former british spy, christopher steel, has spoken out in public now for the 1st time. the document was compiled in 2016 and contain detailed allegations of a conspiracy between chums associates and the kremlin. and also some salacious details about trumps supposed escapades in moscow hotel room. now, none of those allegations have been proven. and the f b, i later published heavily redacted pages showing the agency had paid steel for his work, but then cut him off as a saw through disclosed his u. s. intelligence linked to that of a 3rd party. but he is on there are plenty of unanswered questions over the steel report and hadn't found one of them being how in the 1st place it came into being so autism grad gazda. it now takes a very close look. the steel dossier has been one of the most mocked derided but, but also talked about reports in modern political history. the spot being mostly dismissed as, as a work of fiction. it has just refused to die. and christopher steel is back again . hyping and defending. he's much maligned dossier. christopher still isn't. it isn't hero, is he traitor. crisper steals a guy who picked to fight with 2 presidents. donald trump and vladimir. and he's lived to tell the tale. mind the spoilers. there aren't any new revelations or poverty details. as with the 1st dossier, this time chris tries to defend the dossier. the multiple falsehoods and inaccurate season. make believe molly tries, unprepared to accept that not everything in the dosier is 100 percent accurate. i've yet to be convinced that that is one of them. yes, he says there are some things that my daughter that are literally made up, but he sticks. it seems by the p tape. his allegation that the russians film donald trump with urinating prostitutes. and he has a stella argument to back it up, prove me wrong. he says, you tell him that no one's ever seen the staple heard of it, and that he's the only source ad. well, rad doesn't convince chris. it hasn't needed to be released because i think that russians felt they'd got pretty good value out of donald trump when he was president of the us. the most remarkable thing in my opinion, is what still dossier supporters. a saying they can't defend the dos hair itself, it's at so full of holes and lies. so they've come up with a different method. it was the russians who painted the dossier by purposefully feeding christopher steele disinformation. it's very likely that the russians planted dis, information in and demand other information that may have been truthful. because that's exactly again the way that they operate. the victims that's christopher steals reporting. have also reacted michael cohen, who the dossier accused of secret meetings with a russians in europe. he had the f. b, i get involved, of course they found no evidence of any such meetings ever taking place, but regardless mister co indeed react. he said that he was pleased that christopher steele had crawled out of the pop just long enough to make up a few more stories. i'm not too sure that everyone is as please abs crease. the once was quite enough. there's nothing groundbreaking in of course. he's being, he's being interviewed by a very sympathetic, a quote unquote journalist stephanopoulos has been an operative for bill clinton in the democratic party for a long time. although looking at the mainstream coverage, this sort of rehabilitation of christopher steel seems to be seems to be coming around. you have to scratch our heads even the f b. i stopped using him as a confidential human in form of because i found that he was too unreliable. i think one very important aspect is the collusion of the u. s. mainstream media in this they absolutely fell down their jobs were expected. someone like steal to be a liar. we expected the people that hired him to be pretty dodgy people. of course, that's the case. but we did, we, at least once would expect. i would have expected the u. s. mainstream media, u. s. media to have looked into some of the stories before reporting them as if they were fact. the editor of germany's best selling tabloid build has been fired of allegations of sexual misconduct. the papers owners explain the move right after a story on a julian and i called it appeared in the new york times. as the executive board has learned, julian wright helps still fails to maintain a clear boundary between private and professional matters, and has also been untruthful to the executive board in this regard. the executive board therefore considers the termination of his office to be unavoidable union and i helped woke up on monday morning is probably the most powerful newspaper editor in all of europe. by tuesday morning he had been dismissed from his role as the editor in chief of germany's most read tabloid newspaper bills. now it came about following claims that he had exploited his position of power in order to come the sexual relationships with junior employees. this all came to light in an investigation and a publication by the new york times. perhaps one of the reasons why this happened in the united states is that the accept of spring, a group of parent company for bills that runs build as well as all the media outlets across germany in europe. well, they branching out into the united states and just the summer spent $1000000000.00 buying politico, so they put themselves more on the the raise out of us publications. it's interesting that despite some of the allegations that have come out claims, that there was a hostile environment for women in the build news room, one of the quotes that's used is from a woman who said that she had a sexual relationship with mr. i held and says that that's how it goes. it bill, both that sleep with the boss, get the best that jobs of despite all about coming out. the 1st reaction from access spring, a group, the media giant that runs build is to say, we're going to find out who leak done. and we're going to see them. the company as taking legal action against 3rd parties who attempted to influence and instrumental eyes, the spring compliance investigation by unlawful means, evidently with the aim of removing julian wright helped from office, as well as damaging bills and axel spring up. now, there had been an internal investigation into the conduct of mister i held earlier this year, and it's from that internal investigation. and a lot of these documents have been leaked to the press. the allegations made against mr. i helped with that he carried out sexual relationships, abused his power in order to conduct those sexual relationships. and that he used drugs on company property. they decided following that internal investigation not to dismiss. they still held from his job and they changed their mind. now, in terms of response from the former editor of bill t has issued a short statement in which he said, what i blame myself for, is that i have heard people. i was in charge of. however, perhaps what is the most interesting thing to come out of this and it doesn't paint the german media in a particularly good light is that the soul could have come to light a long time ago. in fact, there were 2 previous investigations that were cautious to previous reports, and one of them going back as far as 2018 into the conduct of mister like has. and then the inferences that at that point pressure being placed on the, the publishes, that were in charge of both carrying out the investigation and got the journalists to kill the story that doesn't pay the german media particularly well. the fact that it took a foreign publication to make this, all public hasn't gone down particularly well here in germany book the genie is out of the bottle. now, as it were, when it comes to the practices in the build newsroom, i'm the business practices of access spring as one of the world's largest and most powerful means year organizations. i just about half way through the program here were naughty international and still to come russia and it's post soviet. busy allies are launching large scale military exercises in touch g. cast on the question is, why now that story, i'm all way back in just a moment. a ah. with back kaiser's financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh, you mean as a downside artificially? well, margaret, don't get carried away. what kind of report? with . oh, it is good to have you with us to day. now russia plus 5 of its post soviet allies of launch some of their largest military drills in years. it's happening in central asia, a tanks and thousands of soldiers have amassed and now in tajikistan, along the border with afghanistan. and that bracing for any potential spillover from the chaos now gripping the taliban held nation. of course in the wake of the u . s. pull out reporting from the scene ortiz, ecos, donald some 4000 troops, 500 military vehicles, and 6 nations all participating in day one of what expected to become. one of the most impressive and large scale military drills taking place here in the steps of a country that is sharing a more than a 1000 kilometer long border with of gaston. tajikistan is a former soviet republic, now operating under the umbrella of the collective security treaty organization, a russia lead military alliance. the war games there will span out over the course of the week ahead. and while the 1st day has been quiet, there's plenty of action to come. certainly, judging by previous drills, the location for the games. just 8 kilometers away from the border with of canister is not a coincidence. when the taliban grabbed power in cobble things got tense on this side of the border. when islamic states started to take advantage of the power vacuum, it got even more serious generals do not shy away from openly saying who the show is for. which in year miss and location for the drills has been chosen according to the practical tasks, the armies have to do. we choose with several rules in mind. firstly, we go by the logic, the more you sweat and piece, the less you bleeding was creating realistic conditions on drills, health armies to prepare for the real action, the real sites under the real conditions. it's a situation that's going to need some heavy duty. whoo gaming, and sure enough over the next few days, pretty much all you'll hear here is the sound of every kind of gunfire imaginable. i'm a gosh darn posting form to duke, his son, haughty. meantime the top u. s. envoy, dr. kindest on is stepping down less than 2 months off to the celtic military withdrawal and subsequent taliban take over. this comes as a you, as a u. s. inspector general launches multiple probes into those events. as a correspondent in new york, caleb muffin now investigates zalman callous vod. the top us representative for afghanistan has been announced to be soon resigning, and he will be replaced with thomas west to his right now serving as a deputy envoy for afghanistan. now. now make callous od has been very key in the events that took place of last couple years. he oversaw the negotiations between the united states and the taliban and cutter that took place under the trump administration, leading up to the doe ha agreement between the united states and the taliban. this announcement comes as we find out that the inspector general for the state department will be opening an investigation into what went wrong in the pull out of the united states from afghanistan. we understand that diana shaw informed the u. s . congress that she'll be looking into 4 key areas of the chaos withdrawal of the states from afghanistan, 1st to the special immigrant visa program. also, the afghans process for refugee admission in the united states, resettlement of those refugees and visa recipients, as well as the emergency evacuation of the u. s. embassy and cobble this is part of the continuing fall out of the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan. the world watched, as afghans were dangling from playing billions of dollars of military equipment was left behind, all leading up to that bombing that took place at the airport. a lot of americans want answers about what went wrong, quite a bit of anger across the united states. and how the biden administration handled things, a lot of big questions being asked from both democrats and republicans, we will be anxious to hear what the inspector general has to say, and we'll be also anxious to hear what mr. callas aud has to say, as he will soon be stepping down from his position. we heard from him, and he will activist medea benjamin who doesn't think the scope of the u. s. investigation will be broad enough on the exit itself, which again will be broad enough. unfortunately, i think the investigations will focus mary, very narrowly on the exit itself, which was absolutely chaotic. will focus on things that need to be looked at, like the drone strike that killed as 10 people in a family, including 7 children. and when are we going to look at and, and, and try to learn the lessons about invading and occupying other countries. and then i think there is the lesson of how do you leave when a country is dependent for the vast majority of its entire budget on foreign aid, how do you just pull the plug and not expect that there will be either a civil war or there will be a breeding ground for extremist groups like al qaeda and i says, so i would hope that it would not only be backward looking, but forward looking. but i, i don't have great confidence in that. i think one of the most frustrating things for colleagues had was that the corrupt government in afghanistan that the u. s. had supported for all these years was unable to really come to the negotiating table and deal with the taliban was unable to form a strong government that had popular support. and now there will be another relationship, but it's unclear how this relationship would proceed. so if vienna's new to artwork is proven to be a bit too risky for social media platforms, galleries and the austrian capital have been hit by a string of bonds on facebook, instagram, and tick tock. so now they've opened an account on only fans, which is mainly known for its adult content. and these are just some of the works deemed to revealing for the major platforms. so now for institutions, the alpa tina museum, the leopold museum, the art history museum, and the natural history museum have signed up to only funds. the alba, tina museums of press officer daniel ben. yes, explained the move. we saw that the project because we hadn't experienced that. it was not always easy, a t r and unity in the social media. and that was our experience since a few years as well. i don't know really why there is the censorship. i know it are maybe some algorithm or something on the engines that is not allowing it. i think it's not about an algorithm to define or to sensor or should be seen or not. and then we saw that it would work on only fence and if it's working there, why not try it? one of the starkest cases of art, censorship happened in 2018 when facebook deleted images posted by the austrian natural history museum, branding them pornography. they showed a 25000 year old paleolithic figurine, known as the venus, all villain, dove, and daniel been yet again things the dispute races broader questions over who decides what odd is? it was also the aim of saying, it's not about the social media platform to decide whether ours won't be considered as odds. nudity has been part of based on culture since the roman empire since the greek and everywhere where there is a mankind art. there is also some masterpieces of odds that shows nudity. we just question who is going to decide what is about to be shown or not? and we think it should not be an algorithm. is a smattering of your sample of stories. her naughty international phil this tuesday morning, program nearly half past 10 now here on the russian capital, thanks for joining us. whipped back soon with more of your stories at the top of the aah! join me every thursday on the alex simon. she'll and i'll be speaking to guess in the world of politics, sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then. mm . oh, when i was just seemed wrong when i just don't hold any world yet to see how this thing becomes the advocate. an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. ah hi, i'm bax kaiser. this is the kaiser report. you know, facts are facts and sometimes they're just easy to see. and sometimes they're not. hello, i'm max kaiser stacy. right. the fact is, this episode is going to be amazing, right? because 1st, i do want to call attention to some information that came out in the past week. we haven't had a chance to cover until now, but it's really important and it fits with basically our coverage for the past 10 years. but especially the past few years as we are in this money printing money, printer go borrow error and the wealth and income gap is causing. and you could see that in the federal reserves own data. and we keep track of this every quarter or 2 quarters. whenever they are publishing the information with a real shocker. so ouch, america's middle class now holds a smaller share of u. s. wealth than the top one percent middle class financial security has eroded and past decades saw their combined assets drop to 26.6 percent of national wealth. while the top one percent wealth jumped to a record 27 percent of total. so this pink line, there is the middle, 60 percent of americans and as you see their wealth has to.
