open islander is the side to say british while we're twelve thousand kilometers away the u.k. seems keen only on the hunt for the vast oil reserves around this tiny overseas territory. the x. hangs over america's massive military budget putting its huge overseas presence in the spotlight and whether it's time to bring more of the troops and ships home. and europe set to vote on a far reaching balance or not graffiti including on the web but liberty experts fear a different cover up the chance to snoop on anything users are doing online. what

you are taking to live from the russian capital on marina joshie and welcome to the program folk and islanders have voted overwhelmingly to remain an overseas british territory but the results not likely to help and the bitter dispute between the u.k. in argentina where as arias claims the islands were still won from it by britain two centuries ago are reports on what's really at stake over the small remote archipelago. these are some very far flung islands from britain a tiny territory but this isn't just a question of national identity we know that the argentinian government's already dismissed the vote as a propaganda exercise cooked up in london but there's the prospect of all that a lot of people are talking about now there's speculation surrounding how much oil there is an estimated sixty billion barrels of oil potentially to be found in the

folk lands base and compare that with britain's oil reserves well they seem scant in comparison the u.k. has an estimated two point eight five billion barrels of oil so if this estimation proves to be correct if the falkland islands do indeed have these sixty billion barrels then we're talking about more oil than the reserves of the usa could tar or even libya to talk about this i'm joined in the studio by ken hurst he's a journalist came to what extent is this dispute a question of resources for both the british and the argentinean government well it could be argued that it's always been questionable whether it's morally or logistically sustainable to try to protect. a colony that's eight thousand miles away i suppose the argument one could have added to that is economically sustainable said he wore ships and so on and so forth but of course the oil rather changes all of that but it only changes if you believe it's morally justifiable to

go on what we call it you know a colonial plundering mission something we did in the eighteenth or nineteenth centuries and personally i don't happen to believe it is our international business consultant explained to us why he thinks the referendum is a pointless stamping a long running dispute between britain and argentina. it's like asking the old to right wing israeli settlers on the west bank whether they want to continue being israeli or they want to be compared to sydney and maybe they should open up immigration and give twenty to thirty thousand argentinian settle there then we can have another referendum and see what happens it is a question of double standards because the guardian newspaper from the u.k. only in february of last year ran an article reminding everybody that in one thousand nine hundred sixty six britain forced the eighteen hundred inhabitants of diego garcia island in the indian ocean they just threw them right out because britain had decided to go to howard wilson actions prime minister had decided to

lease those islands to view the us for a military base which is now even a covert cia prison so it is a question of double standards i have no qualms of throwing out eight hundred people from the go up because see above now they want to protect the counters while the referendum result is in hand but you can still vote in our poll and how you think argentina will react in the meantime though let's take a look our viewers voted so far well as you can see almost half of the viewers say that argentina will declare the voters illegitimate about the third of the viewers think folk letters will be pressured by their south american neighbor to relocate to britain about fifteen percent and believe argentina will call for a future referendum on the issue well only a fraction as ira's will actually back off from its claim now which way do you see this happening tell us at r.t. dot com.

now the european parliament is set to vote on banning all forms of fernand riffing in the media including the internet its claim that will help eliminate gender stereotypes at the base women but there are privacy fear is that will mean allowing web users to be policed in social networks personally e-mails or even their own photos fabia reinhart's from the pirate party in berlin state parliament sees it as another excuse for politicians to try and control the web. the initiative undertaking right now is not legally binding but it's shaping the position of the

european union for the next two years to all the internet and i think it's very important to define internet freedom and citizen ride every step of the legislative process and brussels when this bus broke. right now it's maybe just an initiative and the next step may be a different kind of proposal and i think it's very important that we take from step and say that we don't want to have any internet censorship even if the idea behind it is very noble idea and i think that. especially from the from the executive branch. and the european union i think they somehow threatened by the internet i think the. it's very easy to control of the t.v. and some of the channels but it's very difficult to control what's going on the internet petitions on all levels of trying to find all of the there's a new of different ways to to control what is going on the internet and control of

the public and free opinion there while iceland could soon become the first european democracies to tammie internet censorship the government there is debating radical internet filters to block on line pernod but who should choose what gets blocked for and that party dot com. the us to fans budget is facing almost fifty billion dollars in cuts and it's causing mixed feelings in america some fear it will weaken security but others say the reduction is long overdue but america's huge military presence abroad is one area many think could comfortably take the hit our washington correspondent damage account has been going over the numbers. there's a lot of talk in washington about the need to make some cuts to the humongous military budget in light of this conversation which checked out the latest pentagon numbers on troop deployment around the world that you want to says boots on the ground in one hundred fifty countries that's around two hundred thousand troops.

serving in there from parts of the world largest contingency include of course of getting the sensex the six thousand troops while that number is supposed to be half by the end of this year there you see vast presence in asia pacific japan south korea where the announced pivot to asia those numbers may actually grow in the gulf nations while you see kuwait bahrain the presence there has been growing since the withdrawal from iraq huge presence all across the globe so why all this this is more than fighting terror more than fighting anything colonel douglas macgregor is with me today to discuss all those wise colonel macgregor let's take germany almost forty thousand troops why so many in germany before we run through the regions let me tell your viewers something that's very important for us because all of these numbers that you've posted are about to change you have a secretary of defense name chuck hagel and a surgery of st john kerry and both of these men are committed to conflict avoidant

everything that you got posted is going to change starting in germany where we've had soldiers for sixty years and we don't need them and haven't needed them certainly since one thousand nine hundred ninety nine hundred ninety but for various reasons when the soviet state system collapsed in the soviet armed forces withdrew from eastern europe there were people in washington who set out to find new enemies new new justification or rationale for our global below troop presence and actually succeeded somewhat in expanding it as you pointed out with the global war on terrorism that period is no indeed what about this idea of policing the world something that. that washington has been engaged and for for so long it has worked it hasn't worked out has it it's cost us trillions of dollars tens of thousands of laws it's cultivated do it i mean he's alienated hundreds of millions

of people in key regions of the world so why would we continue to do that so these numbers are going to come down very very rapidly over the next thirty six to forty eight months and there are no forces in washington that would want to keep it the way it is of course but those are being drowned out by voices it's saying do we can't afford it we have to economize we have problems in the united states we must address obama the way as i just pointed out this hasn't worked out well for us thank you sir thank you the new chief of the cia john brennan when making a case for drones last year said boots on the ground would not always be america's best defense because that you would take the local population create a lot of backlash as if drones don't but nevertheless even the new drone base is that the u.s. is setting up in different countries require troops on the ground to operate them recently president obama announced the deployment of one hundred troops. so even this pivot to drones doesn't mean no troops in washington i'm going to check out.

well so i have for this hour here on our team germany's famous thrift and fish and sea takes a knob from some oddball budgeting. fancy a purple camera that's just one of the bizarre investments from the federal pop will show you more and tell you how taxpayers are reacting. and the down next door in a few minutes we report on the villagers forced to live next to a growing health hazard and israeli occupied land that much more coming up after the short break. wealthy british style. time to.

by the jewish authorities also a year has a story. from this to this the remote hills of the west bank are fast becoming an eyesore by the hour noisy garbage trucks dump waste from jerusalem and its surrounding areas here far enough to keep the stench of garbage away from city dwellers but close enough for some to conclude it's making the bed when tribes who inhabit these hills sick of not hussein is recovering from cancer he says he can prove the dumb cost it but suspects it did well mad money there are children playing next to the dump our animals in the nails in the garbage and later die we always smell garbage day by day the dump is getting closer to ahmed and his family because these radio authorities don't want it spreading to the expanding settlements on the other side israeli law says a land full should be two kilometers from where people live this one's a stone's throw away libelous with the thought of there are

a lot of people suffering from a lot of illnesses that we've never seen before some of them are skin illnesses there have been cases of cancer and people have died some of the garbage being dumped here has chemicals and gases. and for as long as these hills fall into palestinian territory they'll continue to fill up with israeli waste these bed when tribes were forcibly moved here a decade ago the one scimitar matic herders were compensated with cash electricity and water supplies this is a mountain of waste that's been building for seventeen years it's convenient for the israelis to dump their garbage here because it's not too far from jerusalem and this is after all contested occupied land. these reedy health ministry has found that the dump is producing methane gas amongst others with long term health risks for the last few years talk to his son has been researching the health effects of bed with living near the rotting waste water getting out of of being

sides these waters just goes into the ground leeching the aquifers where we have the water drinking water we have it well where would the drinking water from these wells and we found during our research the heavy metals inside the wells but land here is expensive and building a new waste site would cost money it's also not clear where these people in communities could move to the lack of building space means they forced to put up tents closer to the landfill site. it is not normal that we live in a dump it's supposed to be far away from people who all the time it's getting closer it's very hard to live here the only solution is to move this dump away from here in its defense that you recently municipality says the site is legal but it has until the end of this month to respond to a court order to stop dumping here each day more than a thousand tons of garbage is deposited on ahmed store state potentially

i am max kaiser this is the kaiser report not only are there men eating

sinkholes but did you know that there's a season for it and we're in the men eating sinkhole season stacy. well max i wish we were in a man eating sinkhole season up here in new york so we could suck us away into the heat instead of all the snow and rain and cold but i want to look at the ripple effects of supply chains around the world in this globalization system falling apart and as represented by wal-mart but i also want to look at the sinkholes that are the the very fabric of the markets around us as capital is thrown into the sink holes of ever increasing cost of extracting oil and natural gas of providing clean water to these booming cities around the world the first headline max is ripple effect of wal-mart sales could hit suppliers wal-mart's warning that stores are starting to experience

a slowdown reeses questions on its impact on its vast network of suppliers the nation's largest retailer said the payroll tax hike into late income tax refunds had hair sales in the last two weeks of january february sales were also impacted yeah well that's absolutely correct the wal-mart model which has been to destroy the supplier by squeezing them and by essentially offering slave made goods to americans have brought their margins down to razor thin so wal-mart is a business model that's a say a mile wide but an inch deep and now that in steve proffitt that they were able to extract by exploiting chinese. labor by exploiting distributors that is evaporating along with all the other moisture that man made global warming is evaporating and the company wal-mart as a result is finding it more difficult to book profits so i would imagine that within two period a long period of time will see the company start to convert those walmart stores

into prisons it will be wall prison to put into prison all the people that are now running with their electronic food stamp cards for baby formula and diapers but they've been cut off and wal-mart saying we'd like no more no more and we're so come under we're mc wal-mart prison. now we recently covered here on the kaiser report the fact that wal-mart sells have had their worst month ever and part of the reason is the payroll tax hike they claim so again will go over that number here in this quote workers earning the national average salary of forty one thousand dollars are receiving about sixty dollars less each month at the moment so because of the sixty dollars less per month and member and this is something that you've often talked about is that americans have you know their incomes have been declining for decades now but that's been masked by the decline in prices of oil about war much but now it seems that we're hitting that peak point.
