FULL SHOW: Epstein allies may end up in court
Nearly two decades after the US Navy renamed its fleet in honor of the countries Washington was invading in the Middle East, the title of the US Atlantic Fleet is set to return as a nod to increasing tensions between the United States and Russia. The latest confrontation occurred last week when a Russian warship chased a US Navy destroyer from the Sea of Japan, accusing it of illegally invading Moscow’s territory. But Washington was quick to reject the claim. RT’s Yulia Shapovalova reports. Plus, the latest NATO report, which mentioned “Russia” nearly 100 times, says Moscow is expected to remain the alliance’s “chief threat” until at least 2030. Former US diplomat Jim Jatras breaks it down. Meanwhile, the United States continues to set records with more than 210,000 new COVID-19 cases. As the number of infections continue to climb, some states are reinstating stay-at-home orders. RT America’s Trinity Chavez has the details. Plus, legal and media analyst Lionel discusses the latest in the case of deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, with a court agreeing to hear a victim’s petition and a co-conspirator possibly being prosecuted.
