and 12 hour shift. now you will go to the bathroom, not able to take a break, not able to, to have time off. no sick pay. no, nothing like of course people are going to die. ah, and i just turn on. i am here in moscow this wednesday, the 23rd of december. my name is colleen bry. welcome to you, wealth news from r t international. his a statement for you to begin with the future of the world without american leadership might be grim and chaotic. certainly, according to secretary of state, antony blinking. but as artes nick aaron's been finding out there are quite a few countries still reeling in the aftermath of washington's help. have you ever wondered what the while it might be like without the united states? i say chaos. that's what it thinks when we're not engaged. when we don't lead thence, one or 2 things else, either some other country tries to take our place, but probably not in a way that advances our interests and values. or no one does. and then you get chaos. yes, the u. s. has used, is magic touch to bring peace and harmony to many a state far and wide. one fine example operation enduring freedom that to known to you and i as the us invasion of afghanistan following the september, the 11th attacks, the u. s. entered the country with a mission to hunt down osama bin laden unpunished. the taliban government that ruled most of the country since 1996. the promise was one of retribution, the goodies defeating the bodies. we must rid the world of terse or children and grandchildren can grow up in freedom. we are not nation building again. we are killing terrorists me in the, in the i they call it collateral damage to you and i, that's innocent. people in the wrong place at the wrong time when 10 civilians including 7 children, were killed in an strike. the military initially defended it only a month later, did they acknowledge it was a tragic mistake, and yet none of the military personnel involved will face any kind of punishment. then consider the hundreds of other similar cases exposed by wikileaks. in reality, the kind of peace, the u. s. has brought to the country, has left its people so terrified, they've run for their lives and the 6000000 off guns. i've either been displaced internally or have fled the country altogether. fueling a refugee crisis that continues to reverberate across europe. by the time it withdrew, it had become america's longest war. and yet in its wake it less than alarming new threats to wash money out of the way out of europe, africa, back into the head of a trade that in the goal, my goal is to have in people and then there's iraq, as america ended in time, and i'm gonna start, it's next step was to announce the end of active combat for its troops in iraq. the picture change too much. some $2500.00 service members will remain on the ground even in the coming year. it was 2003 when the us approach the you went to make the case for invading iraq. so i think saddam hussein stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction. and we will remember how that ended, and yet more than a 1000000 rockies are estimated to have lost their lives as a result, along with thousands of american troops on the outcome, widespread sectarian violence and the rise of islamic states. and then this syria, after humming and hiring the us, entered syria in 2014 shifting from working quietly behind the scenes to support rebels. so overt displays of us force. i have resisted calls for military action because we cannot resolve someone else's civil war through force, particularly after a decade of war in iraq and afghanistan. the images from this massacre are sickening, a crime against humanity in a violation of the laws of war. big promises were made like defeating ices. by like 2014, the $500000000.00 spent training, what were supposed to be $5000.00 on t ice is, syrian rebels had managed to successfully train about 5. so once again, why that is goodwill and both sides and the really good chance for success, the u. s. has secured the oil among the many us military for raise the promise always the same one of stability, peace and freedom. but with the growing list of foreign interventions turned sour, perhaps his time the u. s. consider a career change from the global policeman. tony blink and has a very difficult job and that is to try and put a good face on a, on bad policy on and on an administration that you know promised the moon but can even launch. we haven't had a foreign policy success in decades. our invasion of iraq in 2003, of course, predicated on over a decade of, you know, sanctions based containment of saddam hussein. that changed the entire middle east, which in turn gains the entire world. not for the better either. so, you know, the state has a problem, we are in a position where we have the power, the, the accumulation of power to, to make this stand and continue to make the stand. and right now, there's not too many nations that can stand up and prevent us from doing it. it doesn't make it right. we've seen the consequences of this. but for the moment, the united states, you know, is a, is a superpower. the lax a moral compass with the piano, where the authorities are demanding the western mainstream media stops reading, fake news. they claim the unbalanced coverage of the civil war that and that it's biased towards the rebels. fighting with government, people have taken to the streets around the world to support the elected ethiopian government. rather also, if it helped me see it ends. los angeles bureau with people demanding the us adage, west that allies stop interfering in the war torn country artes policy or explains the government. and people are great over the wasted media coverage of what is happening in this country. any yeah, rebels belonging to the playground, people liberation, i have been and boiled in a better wool trying to overthrow the democratically elected governments. instead of remaining neutral mainstreamed, western media has chosen to take sides a majority of the options. any therapy, as well as a broad, strongly feel that cnn has covered the conflicts over the past year in a manner that is highly biased and detached from context. and you know, times in sex on repeatedly falsely claiming that it was the government, a prime minister at the ultimate cnn has in fate a much better. 8 news anchor with the largest ppo pin television channel has monitored and reported on the false reports. the channel continues to spew out. for example, 20 p. a live mart used to abby sub, you know, they are at the 6 a kilometer away from add this c and nana reported that i'd be fab about is under siege by t p. a live this completely tech neos. and that the used tech picture another the chip in i lies is transferring we pin to to great region, but impractical. the chip in i had lies is not doing that t factually but see in transmitted in order to attack the chill pin economy. i'll just say published a video cap on facebook with the hating thousands of to grand of wasted in ethiopia . it shows a video of vigilantes and states that they are looking for to grands. but what it doesn't mention is that these 100 an teeth were holding a quote from the government to go out and protect their own neighborhoods against to grands who were coming in, looting and killing people. on november 26th, the french state owned international media office, france 24 reported that some tpl is says had reached debra. he met some 50 kilometers from edison at the back. it was simply untrue, as picked up by fact finding organization in the capital city. yeah, wants to sell their falsity, but it's, it's becoming that the really fucked heart of becoming boarding experts agree the mainstream press is talking with one voice, suggesting a coordinated effort behind the scenes and not only the media. they enjoyed the rights groups like amnesty or human rights, which they also collect these reports in the sample assembler reports. and then today, congressmen, date of pan union and then they use it to impose sanctions, be easier can government if it's clear that western media is wilfully and deliberately choosing to misinforming audiences. it's unfortunate because during the war time, if that credible reporting is urgent policy a r t i just at the back of the un high commissioner for human rights says both the government and the rebels have committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. during the crisis. australians also the spotlights in the u. s. after a former long time producer for disgraced star, chris cuomo pleaded not guilty to child sex trafficking charges. court documents reported by fox news alleged that john griffin tried to pay off witnesses, including that he offered a woman $30000.00 in january, and also sent $4000.00 to a family member of a 9 year old. he's accused of assaulting. griffin was also indicted this month on allegations of attempting to lou miners for sexual activities and coerce girls as young as 70 years old to go to his home. he faces a maximum life sentence in prison. if convicted, she had n says the charges against john griffin, a deeply disturbing. oh, it's by far not the 1st a sex scandal at c n n. in recent times, this month, the network fired chris cuomo for alleged misconduct off the he helped his brother andrew then new york's governor to fight off a sexual harassment case. cnn host don lehman was recently accused of sexually assaulting a bar tender. and last year, c n. n. legal analyst jeffrey toobin was allegedly called performing a sex act during a work related video called arti. contribute to lauren chen suspects the scandals. will dent cnn's ratings the charges that john griffin is facing. they are not capricious. they are not merely based on a he said, she said, situation. there are evidence of payments at text messages that duly people to believe authority. specifically, that he has been up paying underage girls of for sexual favors, as well as trying to involve their mothers to varying degrees. he is engaged in grooming, and some would argue as well. sex trafficking, many mainstream media outlets not just seen in themselves. have i think been a little bit hesitant to talk about this issue, even though we can only imagine what the reaction would have been if this had been someone, for example, on the fox news team or the trump team that had been discovered doing the exact same things overall, as cnn's credibility has been shipped away, specially over the trumpet, ministrations, years. a lot of people just no longer believe that they are a fair and unbiased source of news. and it's just not a good look for a network that is already struggling to keep up a positive public appearance. and sadly, the only time cnn has been, i think, really disgust widely lately has not been for their amazing journalism or content. it has been because of these, these negative new stories involving their personnel. if the feds are alleging that not only did john griffin engage in these terrible behaviors, but he also then try to pay off a witness to remain silent. i don't think we have much reason to take john griffin at his word, and i think the fact that he has engaged in these things shows that as a person, there is not much he is not willing to do when it comes to preserving i his own freedom friction between you and one of its members, states is again threatening to boil over with brussels, now launching them infringement procedure against poland. beverage challenged to the supremacy of eulu. the commission considers that these rulings of the constitutional tribunal are in breach of the general principles of autonomy, primacy effectiveness and uniform application of union law on this all stems back to when poland passed a series of laws overhauling its judiciary, creating a controversial chamber of the supreme court devoted to disciplining judges that riled brussels which claims warsaw as effectively stripped the judiciary of independence. but refusing to guild, in october, poland ruled that e u membership did not give the block superior legal authority. morsels not alone in his confrontation, either hungary escalated a feud with brussels on wednesday by announcing it won't change its immigration laws despite a european court ruling last month, a year old, thus a hungarian asylum law that excluded people. if they arrived from a country where they were deemed not a risk fail to fulfill its obligations under the blocks law, the route means hungry could miss out on billions of euros in e funding. still got them, kennedy said he duck in copy you. you has no legal rights to keep payments and participation in the recovery and resilience facility from hungary or from any other member states. the whole process from the point of view of the unity and future of europe is the most brutal sabotage. this is what breaks apart the e u q. jobs. are european politics expert we heard from says the eas, stepping well beyond its remit. it is the outrages ah, what kind of freedoms are. people in the brothel administration are giving to themselves to even think of trying to it colonial style to do to tell a country that there are laws are not the highest laws. there are laws. busy nice laws on their own countries, european commission, which is a, a institution that is imposing on it. so will on member state while ah, it does not come from any. 1 democratic urgency, so we're hungry and all they're doing is that they are exactly saying that they don't want to be part of such system. of although rouse rumble on europe's also facing a winter energy crisis, of course, and we price is hitting all time highs this week. gas tank is initially heading to asia, a being abruptly turned round mid journey to take advantage of the premium price is being paid by europeans right now. russian gas giant gas problems rejected claims that it's to blame for the crisis. girls promised sharply reduced its own gas sales on the european spot market, despite growing demand and limits the ability of other companies to supply additional gas to europe and compete with gas prom. this is one of the key causes the crisis and the record rise in prices in europe. gas prom supplies gas according to consumers, requests and full compliance with the current contractual obligations. there's been a 6 fold labor near a p and gas prices since the summer, as the continent prepares for the worst of the winter coal. there also fears the country's reserves are insufficient to shut down a full french nuclear plants in recent days is also compounding. worries, gas premiums also rose after germany suspended approval of rushes, an old string to pipeline to europe. some european politicians are trying to block the project altogether. a russian supposedly preparing to attack ukraine claims the kremlin denies. international and strategic affairs expert frances perez believes these economic problems have taken on serious political overtones. when you, off i, again, she crises, especially gas. so our prices are, it becomes a political and the social problem. it's not the lead economic problem. it doesn't, the backed up the consumer, so it doesn't the back to you are p at the best reason i destroy the box. us foss, european companies are on site just problem and vend russia ease, respecting each contractual. it could be pets, us foss. gus exports to the european market, arkansas, but varies another question. that gas good gas from an russia supplied mo gas to rock outside. if a contractor and framework, and yet the discussion is very political, east gas problem, russia, we've all seen some gas supply. so fall economic a very i try season all and all jupiter teach results. but you cannot save up gas product exporting for gas discovery twix faults, but you can explore, whoa, what you are committed to your without tast ahead american athlete voices, her frustration at the reco breaking results of transgender rivals. thing it's vital. there's no disparity in sport law, not shortly. ah ah ah oh well, it shows the wrong one. 03. just don't hold any world yet to shape out. disdain becomes the advocate and engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart, we choose to look for common ground. oh, hello. again. amazon workers have rallied in new york over well, they say the company's reckless disregard for safety and union busting policies. there's been a wave of criticism over how it treats staff off to 6 died when a warehouse collapse during a tornado in illinois. any this month? caleb open recalls. so we're here in time square, and as you can see behind me, there's a large demonstration of amazon workers and their supporters. now, the main talking pointed, this demonstration is workers' health and safety. here the new york based amazon workers want adequate protections from coven 19 as they go to work every day. but the whole country is reacting to the incident where we saw a tornado that hit an amazon warehouse, killing 6 amazon employees. that was earlier this month. december 10th, and the country is still reacting to that horrendous news. many questions are being raised about jeff bezos. the billionaire ceo owns amazon. and whether or not he's really concerned about the safety of his workers. this is what some of the protesters, amazon workers and their allies had to say to us when we spoke to them earlier. those workers were not allowed to leave. they weren't allowed to had their phones. we saw the screenshots, amazon is letting us leave. the van driver said they were told that if they didn't come back with their vans empty, they would not have a job. the next day, they were saying we need to go. there was a storm and the manager say no, you have to stay, you are not allowed to eat. that's like a 100 years ago with the triangle shirtwaist factory. workers work between 10 and 12 hour shifts. totally isolated from the outside world. and we are here. so there, man, among things hasn't paid. amazon has shown itself to be incapable of protected workers, lives incapable of doing anything but putting profits over people's lives, over safety. how many more people in our class after die? how many people have to die? to like be working this inhumane like this at the speed in these warehouses to get these packages out there. this is impossible. i absolutely must not be able to go to the bathroom, not able to take a break, not able to, to have time off of sick pay. no, nothing like of course people are going to dine. now protesters also been highlighting the fact that while the pay of amazon employees is considerably low, jeff days owes the billionaire ceo seems to have avoided the tax bill and it's not really paying its fair share of taxes. he recently spent a lot of a lot of his own personal wealth on a trip to outer space. now, the protesters here say that the conditions in amazon warehouses are unacceptable. workers' rights are not being protected. many people calling out this huge international corporation de la martin r t new york, an american track and field athletes whose last, transgender rivals 5 times in her career, says females from is, should fight for their rights for fair competition, and not have to compete against biological men who change gender, the athletes also launched the legal battle under the fairness of women, sports acts and says more people need to speak out. the fact that that's still happening, that women are still lose into biological males in their own sport, shows why we need more female athletes to speak up about this. i just want to say to the female athletes in pennsylvania don't let anyone silence you speak up. tell the national collegiate athletic association, your ethnic directors, and your coaches, that he won't fail competition because doing this is nowhere near s. care as it seems. and the amount of support is overwhelming. to pennsylvania university, swimmingly, a thomas who's competed in the men's team 3 years before transitioning in 2019 has already broken several records this season, raising questions not just about the right of transgender to compete. but if that biological makeup gives them an unfair advantage, some college parents have written an open letter to the college athletic association, expressing concerns about the physical disparity between competitors at stakeholders, the integrity of women, sports, the precedent being set, one in which women do not have a protective and equitable space to compete as a direct threat to female athletes in every sport. what all the boundaries? how was this in line with the n c, a commitment to providing a fair environment for student athletes? transgender swimmer herself. but the accusation saying, she submitted all the necessary medical papers which were approved and therefore allowed her to join the female team at an idaho state representative. we spoke to says transgender, intrusive competition so far from being fair. if you are a biological male and you want to identify as a female, you are more them as an adult. you are more than welcome to do so. but we're never, ever, not in any part of society, let alone this. we're not free to choose the consequences. so the consequences of deciding to be a biological female is if you love sports, you can't compete on the women side, conger, biological male. we just physically cannot compete against a biological milk. i don't care what hormones they've taken, they don't even come close to dropping their testosterone level down to ours. a we're stepping back instead of moving the ball forward and providing more opportunities for girls and women. now we're starting to have ours taken away even more and we're supposed to kindly and politely, like good little girls stand on the sidelines and cheer for the boys. i refused to do that when they're competing against us. okay, that's how it looks so far this thursday here, darcy from moscow on calling, bryan, have
