fellow very good even if you just joined us this is our team my name is kevin and it is now just after eight pm this ninth of may victory day here in russia. just some of the scenes from earlier on so the day of remembrance and celebration is russia marks the sixty eighth anniversary of victory over nazi germany salutes and parades across the country have been honoring the veterans of the bloodiest war in history as well as those who sacrificed their lives to liberate the world through pharma was at the main military display on red square a little early. it has been another precedent victory day parade here on red square

it started with ten three in unison across this iconic setting and it is the day that i see unified russia on the floor when soviet states visit date that is used to celebrate victory i think it would also want. to break. the. law to the right feeling to walk around three million that are still alive and kids and i there are some that even took part in the very first thing they write here in red square ninety four to my after they returned from the front line victorious during the right we have also seen impressive display of russian military hardware thanks to those massive this although he's also. i think i think do you think if they chose it would please say to technology let me start with a message from president putin to price the courage of by invoking the great country

off to war and also insisting the world must live in the world it could to secure the kind of security interest. rates where. you know things under will victory day said to be rounded off to with a spectacular fireworks display across the capital that was annually well we're bringing you live pictures starting at eighteen g.m.t. that's ten pm moscow time so don't miss that i'll be here taking you through that showing you some of the great fireworks that were promised later on tonight nice night for it to. thousands of people laid flowers at the fallen soldiers memorial in the southern city of volgograd for many don't study grabbed the scene of a pivotal back in the second world war but also one of the bloodiest in history there was an extraordinary from aeration to in the urals where motorcyclists gathered for a symbolic day rally as well as he was conscious inventions and artillery salutes are also being held in every major city in the country. and if you want to see more it can tell you are you tube channel you can find more images from the victory day

celebrations including the full video of the parade here in moscow a great display as ever one of our t. dot com our web site you can also find footage of what the veterans went through during the war and hear what they've got to say. were. with china and japan already brought in a territorial row over a group of islands in the east china sea now a new disputes flaring up beijing is calling for a review of the oaken our islands which are a major u.s. military base of course and tens of thousands of american troops the people's daily considered a mouthpiece of china's communist party all but laid claim to the archipelago in a written article by academics tokyo quickly hit back to announcing the paper as a political tool declaring its ownership of okinawa as beyond doubt well james called its editor of the japan based news website he says china is amos to pressure

japan into making concessions elsewhere. it is at the very least an interesting new development in the territorial dispute and obviously meant to at least increase pressure on japan over the the disputed senkaku islands which is another part of this territorial dispute that's going on but in terms of okinawa itself it's been within the japanese sphere of influence for at least the last four hundred years now but of course this brings up the fundamental issue of all of this which is china is trying to argue that it has historical claims over the okinawa islands japan has these formal claims that it's set up in the meiji era back in the eighteenth seventy's but it's this group completely excluded from this is the fact that of course there is an ethnic indigenous population in okinawa who are the ones who are completely forgotten in all of this and are being used as pawns as they have had to suffer through basically imperial regime after imperial regime and now it's basically a site for u.s. military bases and japan i think is going to be more or less

a spectator in this i don't think that they have the ability to really stop china from making these types of claims it's just a question of if and when this would actually spill into a military confrontation. well with a huge u.s. military presence in washington's interests are also at stake in the new territorial dispute between beijing and tokyo not to cut out of them is a columnist for foreign policy in focus he told us john this move may be aimed challenge america's asian focus right now. i think it's a couple of things going on one is that the chinese are very very disturbed about the the asia pivot on the part of the obama administration you what they see is that the united states has now moved sixty percent or is in the process of moving sixty percent of their armed forces into the pacific region so they find that very disturbing and there was a standoff with the but the clinton administration in the late ninety's in which

the chinese have to back down from and they don't want to be in that position again so so part of this is a backdrop is is that this is a way of kind of challenging that asia pivot what they're basically saying to washington is don't push us don't come into our waters i do think as well there is an act to kind of drive a wedge to a certain extent between japan and the united states only good night states certainly want to war with china the japanese are being a bit more aggressive on this to trainees are pushing the envelope just a little bit to see if the u.s. will back off a little bit on its support of japan so far that hasn't happened but that's a possibility in the future. this is r t coming out bit later this hour you can stay with us we're talking about the u.s. dishing out the dollars for israeli defense spending hundreds of millions on the anti misaligned dome system despite criticism that it's not as effective as it's

been presented that said that plus. these workers in northern greece are dismantling failed fracturing others though are taking control of their plants to try and keep going join me tom watson on marty for a look inside the trying to greece in just a few minutes. next that we've got the story but a growing spot within the european union over so-called benefit to reason for member states are calling for a curb on welfare payments to e.u. citizens making claims outside of their home country austria germany the netherlands and the u.k. all say this growing pressure on an already crisis hit benefits system. reports. have you had the one about the dutchman the german the austrian and the englishwoman going to the european commission and asking for cubs on migration within the e.u. it's not a joke it actually happened holland germany austria and the u.k. say that they're concerned about the pressure being put on their public services as

a result of so-called benefits terrorism so they've written a letter to the european commission asking for help in making it harder for freshly arrived e.u. migrants to access public services such as schools hospitals and accommodation the move comes just seven months before labor restrictions are lifted and the e.u.'s newest members remain ian ball garia are allowed to live and work freely anywhere within the european union brussels response to the letter has been lukewarm they want to see evidence that this so-called benefits terrorism actually exists to talk about the issue i'm joined by her be brockman from the joint council for the wealth of immigrants thank you very much for joining us do you think there is the threat of all this pressure being put on public services in the u.k. and i tell you first this isn't a phobia on share mad because evidence suggest otherwise we know that two million.

nationals came to this country and only thirteen thousand of them out of two million claimed job seekers allowance we know that for the health service that we have got a hundred billion pound the budget for a national health service and only ten to twenty million pounds where recouped from european nationals so this is a more. backed by evidence the evidence is there if this is a myth propagated by the media then why are the politicians over four key western european countries so concerned about it you see the politicians are pandering to even sponsor blood made. and publicans i to get some tivo but if we want to have a harmonized economy we want everyone's betterment. then we should want two words not protectionism habeeb raman thank you very much for your comments well there you have it the free movement directive one of the pillars the founding pillars of the

european union but it looks like at the moment some key western countries are uniting together against a united europe. london. well u.k.'s also under pressure for its a sturdy drive to branded by trade unions as quote a lost generation of growth that put the country at olds with the international monetary fund too with warnings of the belt tightening must be used the national secretary the socialist workers party spoke to me said the government needs to rethink its priorities and drag you a country out of the doldrums. it's extraordinary that the international monetary fund which is the high priests of neo liberalism who have imposed a stereo t. as part of the troika along with the european union and the european central bank across the continent even though they are now turning all spur on that is economic policies are a complete failure and they're causing heart attack for the economy with no growth with unemployment rising and with social chaos caused by these policies and there

are more and more people who are completely fed up with these a stereotype of policies which are attacking people's living standards while at the same time at the other pole of society the very very rich grow ever richard the reality is that the attempts to cut the deficit cause the economy to come to a hose and what we need is to completely change the priorities we need to stop the imperial adventures in afghanistan and the talk of more involvement in syria we need to stop the trident nuclear program and we need to take the power away from the wealthy people at the top of society and start putting people first not profits . well more thoughts too about economic heart failure in about a quarter of an hour's time with a kaiser report as well as a tip for women on how your skirt may reflect the markets. it's

a girl band and they're aged between seventeen and twenty three their theme is that if the stock market the need goes lower their skirts go lower towards the ground if the stock market goes higher they shorten their skirts that's their schtick so when the stock market the nikkei i recently went over thirteen thousand for the first time in a long time they went got rid of their skirts and wore shorts as you can see from this photo well the girls themselves say they didn't study economics they don't know anything about what is wrong wait a minute that's the shock of the day what i'm saying are masters of economics you get guys to do silly things like buy at inflated prices that's what it all much is all about they're they're geniuses they should get a nobel prize. because the lights are more for me just a minute. the

mission to teach. the u.s. says it plans to push further to get israel and palestine to the negotiating table with secretary kerry planning another trip to the middle east but stopping washington from spending hundreds of millions of dollars on the israeli military including funding that. she'll. be hearing from the people who say that that defense system just isn't worth. the brains behind the iron dome the israeli but the funding is mostly american born there are no guns assistance it solves the discussion and offered their assistance they have washington recently pledged an additional six hundred eighty million dollars for the point intercept

a system that advocates claim has a success rate of more than eighty percent. number. even obama has gotten in on the act his first stop at a recent trip to israel was to an iron dome battery where he told soldiers they're doing an amazing job because so much money has been spent on this defense missile system it now needs to be marketed and sold otherwise why do you justify something that has already cost the american taxpayer millions of dollars but for all its hifi iron dome which is designed to intercept and destroy short range rockets aimed at populated areas is not foolproof i have a lot of question marks questions that include the systems effectiveness weapons experts knew united states and even in israel say the i.d.f. has why the overstated its intercept success rate by a factor of ten or more you can see very clearly that the project

like this it's impossible to get. work. so you have these destroyed eighty four percent of the incoming orchids the celebrated technological wonder exploded onto the international stage after last year's israel gaza war but the math did not add up it proved disproportionately expensive as a defense against crude homemade palestinian rockets and mass and. militants are assembling these rockets which cost about one hundred dollars to make. which are very little more than than a pipe with an explosive to to propel it forward. and i really don't rockets. actually cost fifty thousand dollars. each pocket so shooting two rockets to intercept one of the of the amounts makeshift bombs a makeshift rockets would cost a thousand times more than the cost of the rocket that is being intercepted but the

i.d.f. has good reason to mislead the world about its effectiveness not only do taxpayers want to know the money is being well spent but enemies need to be deterred especially gaza militants firing at israel's southern border city of stuart some of the very aloof even more they develop their own to defend their war with. the only area the cannot defend is the given the history of missile defense deception and the strong israeli incentive to deceive the people who pay for the system should be asking hard questions about how well it really works paula see r.t. tell of of. online if you do not an inferno in eastern russia are reporting about that a cargo train turned into a massive fireball after fifty fuel tankers the rail big old mess forcing thousands of people to be evacuated from the area big story reporting on online r.t. dot com. we shed light on last year's deadly assault of the american envoy in libya

after a u.s. official claims that washington rejected desperate calls from its diplomats under fire from angry mobs. as necessity is often the mother of invention nothing was done of the way of some workers endeavor than to make a living even nature's best efforts it was a story of his we didn't. it really seems like one collab. look at the key there are so many people there and amazingly they're not just standing there for a bus right there actually crossing the river using these to ask invaders so for some it can be have a traffic and for others to have a way now let me give you some details on what is actually happening that this video was shot at the end of march in the north of the you will mountains and as you can see the area is flooded and it also seems that there is going to be a bridge build there in the future but for now people still have to cross it

somehow and it seems they found a way better call it an adrenaline draw and now you've got one ask evader loaded with three sometimes even more people now it means the other one half way people climb from one ask of aid or to be other it all looks rather dangerous but look at the people they seem quite pleased with themselves anyway when this video first appeared on the internet it went viral was so many comments and very few people were actually concerned about the fate of the passengers some even labeled this video as another example of how russians can be resilient and resourceful well it's really hard to argue with that watching this footage. three top stories at eight twenty pm moscow time clashes between police and protesting students erupted in chile with nearly one hundred thousand people turning out to demand for a fair education system right units in santiago used tear gas and water cannon to push back the activists students been venting their anger now at the government

over an affordable public education is back in twenty eleven. nine u.s. military bases can remain in afghanistan after troops pull out in twenty fourteen that's according to president karzai but he added however that washington will have to provide security and economic guarantees first now this is the first such offer by karzai since the beginning of security transfer talks with america neighboring countries see the handover as a safety stress test for kabul and fear the possible spread of fundamentalism and terrorism moved. back a star will pull out from the u.s. led war on terror if the front runner for the prime minister position is elected now as shareef of the pakistan muslim league believes it's the only way to make the region peaceful the general election is due on the eleventh of may but it's been marred by insurgent attacks which have left more than one hundred people dead since april in the latest violence the son of former premier galani was kidnapped by gunmen at

a rally after they shot one of his aides greece's finance minister says the country's recession wracked economy should start recovering as soon as next year but with the latest figures showing the country's jobless rate hitting record highs for many communities across the country the outlook is far from rosy. visited a factory with a workforce of taking control of for almost two years of unpaid wages. it looks just like another day at the vo me factory in northern greece making building and cleaning products but these workers shouldn't even be here this fragment of the old workforce has taken control of the factory from its owners this is via maze central office all of their old office workers left and the owners lock them out of the office block for the moment they run their entire company from this room the dead pot plants and shuttered windows sit next to the emmys new philosophy on the wall and read self management in huge legal disputes the owning company fulcrum johnson

claims to have no money and wants its factory back this employer paid these workers for thirty years and paid them well i suggest that the workers now should support their employer at this difficult moment. workers for their part a desperate after twenty two months without pay they receive food aid from unions and solidarity movements they guard the stock and the plant seeing it is their only way to start earning money again despite the owner's threats but with the law stacked against workers in crisis torn greece few dare try the same this more the general picture i mean i don't think i'm going to see a huge movement to forgive someone could take over the octopus for these workers though this is an economic loss down and they're trying nothing less than to change greek law to recognize the concept of self management in order to legally sell their products and when i ask them they have

a message for the owners after myself and i bet that if they abandon us here it disappeared so i have nothing to say to them they prefer to pay for these trials instead of paying our salaries. aleck ross and his coworkers don't see themselves as revolutionaries instead they're fraught predicament is a result of painful decisions forced on those on the factory floor and in the boardroom by a crisis that keeps breaking all the norms tom barton party. i . return in a back to our top story of the day for a few minutes russia continued to celebrate the sixty eighth anniversary of the defeat of nazi germany a spectacular parade to commemorate those soldiers who led the fight to taking place in the very heart of the russian capital earlier on today let's take another look if you missed it some of those great highlight.

i. i. i i i. i i.

i. it. some of the sights and sounds of your own for a victory day twenty thirty eight in moscow now it is cause report on the next put no punches as ever as today probes the bunkum world's darkest side as ever enjoying .

you know i've been asked a few times if i believe in conspiracy theories which is kind of an odd question i mean just in general believe in conspiracy theories like all of them even the ones that contradict each other i mean j.f.k. could have been killed by the mob the cia the k.g.b. and very secret societies at the same time or could he have been know what you just declare themselves the fischel conspiracy theories that's silly obviously it isn't good just go around fishing for evil plots to explain every situation the mainstream media sure does lie a lot but i think they're telling the truth about that whole sky being blue thing but on the other hand if you never question what the glowing box in your house tells you that just makes you a sucker the kind of sucker who bought that there were magical mysterious invisible weapons of mass destruction in iraq and you know what in all honesty there's actually been real evil conspiracies that have been exposed like the tuskegee experiment and the fascist coup attempt against president roosevelt in one nine hundred thirty s. over all people think it spears the theories are a matter of belief but in actuality they're completely a matter of facts and there's a lot of good evidence to support

a conspiracy and good arguments that maybe you should consider it but if someone tells you the president is actually a rip tell him from the cosmos you might want to just stay away from that one but that's just my opinion. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is ok. i'm charging welcome to the big picture.

welcome to the kaiser report i'm max keiser there's a new viral. and hit song in japan it goes like this fix the ns appreciation of quantitative easing don't forget public investment monetary easing construction bonds let's just revise the bank of japan law.
