money laundering first is to visit this cash into three different. oh good this is a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas in the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in the we just have to deal with all that's a to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did well we've got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacy oh beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile again from that you know what money laundering is highly illegal . much keyser of course. social environment. right. chemical discoveries over the last century made every day life easier but at what cost this is cereal is exceptionally sick. no wonder it's confidential. cysts just three years old industrial

giants reaps the benefits. caused by chemical production. you know as if these people aren't people just experimental animals. the toxic environment continues to poison lives and we found these astronomically high levels of dioxin levels that my staff think maybe some of the highest levels ever found in the united states for almost thirty years this very serious problem had not actually been addressed what will that investigation into the chemical industry secrets revealed. this despicable.

hello and welcome to crossfire where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle a saudi qatar spot continues with no end in sight and new sanctions on russia divide nato allies also is the truth about ukraine finally coming to light lastly the west on civil society. talking stories in the news i'm joined by my guest here in moscow alex christopher oh he is the director and writer of the duran dot com we also have dimitri bobbitt he's a political analyst with international and we have exactly a row he is the founder of the center for political strategic analysis all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i will always appreciate it and i want to stress to my guests and to our viewers that we do real news on this program here so the real story that i want to talk about is this simmering. stand up and it is very very

important because you know we saw the president the united states side with the saudis when the saudis called in other arab countries called qatar state sponsor of terrorism that's a bit rich and we still have the president the united states signing off on a huge thing twelve billion dollars arms deal what is going on here and it's most importantly we have can forget that the united states has one of its most important military bases in the world in qatar eleven thousand troops by qatar twenty four funded by qatar so i mean this whole situation with qatar and saudi arabia has really changed the game from what. we're drawn during syria so during syria you had a whole set of alliances between. russia iran it saudi arabia qatar turkey etc now with this recent spat with this with this conflict between saudi arabia qatar everything has turned upside down if you don't have turkey and iran siding with qatar you. russia tried to mediate but leaning

a little more towards the qatari side you have the united states and trump tweeting about how saudi arabia should be supported qatar is the enemy etc but giving twelve billion in money and weapons to them so you have a whole different dynamic now which is just really been a tectonic shift from what syria was to work with and these two countries are nominally american allies. well i think what we're seeing now is a breakdown or a very long tradition in the western media would have been hearing for i think about sixty years do more chrissy don't fight each other american allies don't fight each other so do futile countries you know the cold would use countries like . china where it all it's but they were bad well now we see how america now why saudi arabia and qatar are basically fighting each other and the problem is that the port spawns some very very unseemly groups the only difference is that qadar

sponsors the so-called muslim brotherhood hamas is an offshoot brotherhood in palestine in egypt and brotherhood even came to power democratic a day at a certain moment saudi arabia sponsors were hobbits so we have a very serious situation we have the united states a light with countries that indeed spawns extremist groups we have the u.s. president at the mediately at saying that it has been funding terrorism and then said in weapons to qatar to the tune of twelve billion dollars it really opens up i've said to many people that in particular in american be generally in western media is that you don't criticize israel too much and don't say anything about it so here. in the headlines and you don't have to dig very deep to find out what kind of regime the united states is supporting there in my opinion. of the. of this region because as you called. the

selling weapons you want to get some money in the. letter interesting what's happening really in the middle east is my opinion. yes not only i mean it's even been suggested in western media that he's not where deeply aware of american military presence there again i think it. is more interesting what happens inside the united states and you want to have to do what you want inside you know it is that so we're ready to sacrifice. to. the u.s. foreign policy just to have the inside of it seems it seems that after his trip to riyadh the saudis feel very much in bold and then they can go down this path here i mean we have qatar we have saudi arabia united arab emirates we have the israelis all of them have extremely powerful well funded think tanks in washington d.c. and it's being played out there they have actually they're well dug into social

media technology companies as well because we also have the announcement that al-jazeera has a twitter went out for arabic went out for a day i don't even know if it's still doubt so i mean i think you see a type of warfare across all axis is it's financial it's a blockade it's technology based it's media based so really you're seeing qatar kind of trying to stave off this sudden and very quick but you have pointed out before i mean is the extremely vulnerable and that's true but there are all vulnerable because actually these are dictatorships and with dictatorship we have been known to think since that time didas that citizens democracy you will fight us you keep soldiers if you care for a government which is more or less responsible to the people and that was the case in syria i mean now after they spat between soldier. are we see they nischelle

planned on the west to have syria rule by. force us. with saudi arabia we've cut out it is simply on the walkable because next day october when president assad they will start to each other if you look at the. so it's. very clear that it's a very bad army. it's very expensive already very very expensive military defeat against. human. troops coming for a. palestinian from arabs nobody would die for the king of saudi arabia so i have to agree with you that there is. and we have been going to they don't you know they have deep pockets but those pockets are not as deep as these because it's changed gears a little bit guys. the german chancellor with the foreign minister of come out

against new sanctions that have been passed in the u.s. senate against russia and against iran and the germans are not taking it lightly alex and neither are the austrians take it because the. german and austrian companies involved in the energy sector and so they're going to get it essentially these companies are going to get punished by these sanctions german and austrian companies and i find this absolutely hilarious and it's extremely ironic because what i thought it was russia that always divided america and europe not always not thinking it's not russia and i remember a few years back when russia did want to build a pipeline called south stream value turkey through to greece so greece would be a hub of energy towards europe what the e.u. backed by germany do they blocked it why because of sanctions because they. don't like income and now they're doing this north stream turenne which is the second. of the main energy pipeline to europe another building a second one but you're germany. the germans are fine with it no problem ok.

because they have. those they have their energy security that we have now trope. so it's really kind of interesting is that she's angry at the americans and now the other european countries going to be angry with her because she's putting her country's energy interests above the e.u. she is seemingly the leader of the e.u. in the eyes of the liberal world i think what we see here is a total victory i deal with the aggressor if i go with your over economic interests because look which are the most problematic countries in europe italy and greece they are the most indebted ones so the russian project saltine which was supposed to supply cheap russian energy to the states it could solve the evils programs you know italy and greece could have industries revived so what happened the e.u. as an ideological organization killed the souls to project you haven't. let me tell you you know now the united states which is even more ideology eyes than the

european union is skated not steam to project which was to take five billion cubic meters of gas a year from russia beginning from with two thousand twinkies and here germans are suddenly saying wait wait wait i do always good but we want industry we want you guess we featured the germans historically it is important you know the late chancellor kohl who died this week all the beatrice about him say that he was a great man but he put politics before economy at a certain moment when he was that is germany you know right united before it was economically prepared to do it so it cost germany huge amounts of money and it started the idea of a deal legislation over the your project when you actually securely into the you know it's really interesting is that it's the estimates here put these the last three years of sanctions is that the russia has been impacted by them it is.

it's one percent of g.d.p. per year but the europeans dollarwise have been hit twice as hard and you know it now you have the american congress john mccain lindsey graham the usual suspects are saying we want more sanctions against russia now are they thinking about their european allies it's even worse because for russia there is some size of the sanctions are good for. imports substitution good for europe because for instance europe the french farmers and german forever they lost some markets were with the recruiter and they won't ever get. it on the contrary you would have. to be sailed in france or in germany we have created one of the. competitor in the in the in the euro i mean alex when he is right here it is it is ideology that is trumps everything here it's not even the really difficult because in my opinion the key date is a two thousand and nineteen because at this time ukraine to reimburse the loan they

get from the european u.s. institution it's about sixty billion and allows it will bear that with as such a new situation if at the same time because two thousand and nineteen it's a date when a crew on contract between russia and ukraine for the gas transit would be over and so a new one would be set and of course if you have to deal with their project it would be not the same game for having a great twenty seconds here because you ukraine wants to stay into this energy equation ten seconds i think ukraine is a symbol of this or you would your economics because no one from the ukrainian crisis europe didn't gain russia didn't gain a lot of the oh ok mr way to continue to talk about ukraine after our break and after a short break we'll continue our discussion on stories in the media state with our .

i don't see a clear out accounts throughout the do that anyway i only see that because in all things good for today or tomorrow. you have a team a solo concert for with a brief period of time and then you know divorce immediately i think that's a. bad historical moment in the middle east and it is very difficult to predict how things will be called. who she's old enough to post the center of things. on.

the law. school. told me. a little bit of both of those telling you that. you. just. have to leave the most that you can really see the barbecue or not that i. was i don't know that my. point itself was based off i think so. but the investigate police officers behavior as well. l.t. drugs and weapons and presence here. calling people as you close.

welcome back to crossfire all things considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing stories in the media. ok damon i want to go back to you i was going through the pages of the washington post and i came across a very interesting article here it is titled ukraine's alter right militias are challenging the government to a showdown written by a mr joshua cohen though it's a short little piece here my first reaction was this guy must have been living under a rock for the last three years because if you've been watching this program for the last three years we would have said we told you so well he's not the only one margin call you know the former n.b.c. correspondent in moscow all the whole book about ukraine where he mentions the go

to go to the national interest com they have a brilliant review will go ahead absolutely and the nation also james came to publish there's something very good about it but the whole idea is that colp mentions the fact that there are extremist groups that would make this stop or you know who participated in that my he if he mentions the fact. that's going to cut off from food and water by they are going to see him ten thousand people among them three thousand civilians were killed during the civil war there of course three thousand civilians i can tell ninety nine percent of them were young which is support us or russia supporters because they were all killed in pro russian regions and still despite all that mr trump and mr obama meeting mr poroshenko he's coming to what i want he's their candidate here and the ukrainian media presents its actually huge victory over russia because trump is going to meet . before he's going to but we have. also saying the secretary of state is

that he's saying the obvious you saying the minsk accords are not going anywhere the normandy format is going nowhere and he suggested to get a go around it merkel doesn't want to put a stop to about ukraine's turning into their problem. now is a european problem for sure i think that the u.s. is definitely walking away from it i think trump will meet with fine they'll give enough money to. fight a lot but give it enough just to skate by just to skate by they're not going to save it there's no way that the u.s. is going to especially trump that the u.s. is going to get involved in trying to mediate the ukraine crisis try to find a way out of it and then the whole washington post article to me is absolutely stunning it's. victoria nuland suddenly became its were having dinner with these ultra nationalists during the bite out of his photos there will be certainly this

mission to the answer is clear it serves leaders. don't forget that two months ago the three chiefs of the year tried in ukraine. in a cynical poos sign an agreement to push. you yeah so open war against they opened up this pandora's box so you could overthrow a government you don't like ok we have a new government we're going to overthrow this one well this isn't bad practice is it it's it it's hardly ever talked about this is the problem of heating the e.u. in every sense from north stream to ukraine it's just karma coming right back to the end you know it's a gift old the country with groups because believe me on this is this. probably saved always over tonight and then to go people and rest and. yet when you know when you look at what it's like the roman legions you wanted them out into the . you don't want them coming home ok and they can go back to kiev anytime they want

and as it is there is an interesting fact this week two times. troops abundance and positions on the front. you can see that and in turn it on air and then there are forces coming and going is abundant position from the from so it means that. the missile but i don't suppose it was to all the line of doing that and prefer incoming but to kill if to because it's not so dangerous than being in the desert fighting against their own in their army and i am afraid we are going to stay for a while for two reasons first. it's already caught he shut his eyes when the so-called extremists got electricity to create near west yes or russia to supply all the electricity itself he shut his eyes when the extremists stopped the shipments of call from us now in fact in fact basically pushing down bus away from

you and then we go to your nationalist issues like language access to the internet here i mean again i don't know western puppet is against. speech yes. will prohibit russian social networks in ukraine which is very pretty but in facebook in canada and but the problem is he will stay because of these policies he already snatched extremist policies from probably sector and from that and second if there is a rebellion against him unlike on the quality in the article which because a license to shoot from the west if he just shoots all his opponents you know that you know the west is going to say he just shot that the point is almost all the chief of the nurses groups there are m.p.'s it is a unity you get you can see them for as friends of this officer interim. somebody.

who director and it wasn't punished but of course the european union doesn't like to say the obvious thing about this regime ok that's what i found this washington post and that ever was so interesting because they we they had an agreement before the coup they would have a political process a transition loosening up the powers of the presidency and unocal bitch signed it you agreed to it and the next day there was the coup the european union would not saying illegal behavior of partners that it had in any european union be trade agreement yes if you create that agreement you mean it usually it's a betrayal of the agreement. because we know this program many times before and you pointed out very very clearly they do know a day before they were shaking unico but your hand and patting them on the back out a boy that's our guy and then they walked away from him they walked away from their own agreement that they were and they pretend that there was absolutely no reason for him to leave to come or they wanted to and there's

a reason he just flared into the middle of the night or yes the new york times writes great fiction of other gentlemen i want to go to other things are we going to show. we do remember that over the last week there was the b. republican congressman that was shot by a lunatic bernie sanders supporter. and he was looking for republicans apparently had on his person after he was killed a list of g.o.p. lawmakers that he wanted to i suppose assassinate here what is this is another indication for me that for me that this is a cultural civil war that is very real it was underlined by in the. months years ago telling that all this violence from the left in the u.s. we have some some very dangerous results and in my opinion that's what we because we sent. we see in the media this is anyone but media i see it is this is

this is a sarah good for these type of man that shot you know that lunatic he is responsible for his own actions ok i'm not taking the atmosphere feeds into the media's feeding it and they know what they're doing i mean people are saying ok the man is responsible everyone agrees on that but the media in the united states the liberal left media the m.s.m. . they're fueling this radicalization and they know they're doing you have a shakespeare in the park play in new york which is cool or fine the assassination of trump you have kathy griffin holding a holding a trump head in a. ritual and the media doesn't say anything they could be stars these actors you have you have hollywood stars calling hollywood to not hire white ok bad is that just in case you're creating this huge division it's one of the radicalization if you. has been comedian held up ahead of barack obama in this

isis like fashion that person would be roundly condemned that's the double standard that we see today well again it's you can rule first i lived in the united states in one thousand nine hundred one i remember these calls every day keel that saddam you know so they spoil a show of demonizing you know you personalizing your enemy it's it's politics i've said on this program before the regime change paradigm that the west and its allies around the world. i want to talk about oliver stone i don't know if you've seen any of the interviews it's really quite fascinating but what's more fascinating for me is the reception of. stone's work in western media it's really shocking it shows i have to admit that the. western propaganda effort against russia has been largely successful. you know the most interesting part

about it is i saw a lot of interviews about are still on his promoting the show time piece and just about everyone that was interviewing him began the interview with one sentence i haven't seen all the interviews out but stephen all to go but to go here very nice to put it of. him it's a very very friendly approach so all right away you have these these these people that are interviewing oliver stone saying i haven't seen it i don't know what it's about but i don't like the tone you're taking to humanize this and this president of great power the only interview that was very fair was talking process or interview where he actually just sat back and listen to what oliver stone had to say that's what gave you an appendicitis. it's amazing to call the american media for gordon their own warts i mean when they when they now see when they write all all of a story about putting that it's wholly want to kind of humanize in a dictator they forget that for decades they have been saying that what it was

stolen was an exception exhibit was the only unknown hollywood you know direct hero of the last exactly it was an american of course. and he was serious he all of us don't is the only american director that was not influenced by what he knows how to tackle issues so they are lying to themselves you know they have to admit that at some point they were lying even now when they say you know he is a key because this whole ideology you've been talking about it's like a secular church and now he has sinned and now he must be shown ok you know in france we've got such an experience it was a two three years ago a famous french woman he said good interview from god to be with you and yet through can eyes he's very clever we ask him if you want to use there is some question he doesn't want two year. old no but you have to be ready because he knows what you talking about and the word at least. they could. of the interview

confirm to the police. in france they always will censor but now we're out of out of town but the bill always censor to keep their narrative in line were brought out of time many thanks to my guest here in moscow and thanks to our viewers for watching us here r.t. see you next time and remember prostate. let's talk about blackness and the blues of being black. and always well in a big house down at least that's what i've been told but it was simply that we and remains as such because we simply. seem we've allowed them to rearrange their pain

you've told us the sickness of trusting the enemy we came to face. that's what i call the lack of blackness or understanding the blues of being black. sheep blues of being black sheep mandate that we attack knowing how when and what to do to come this simple in his national is be black is simply to the feelin blue is black and blue.

social environment. right. chemical discoveries over the last century made every day life easier but at what cost this is serious. no wonder it's. cysts years old industrial giants reap the benefit. caused by chemical production. you know as if these people are. just experimental animals. the toxic environment continues to poison lives and we found these astronomically high levels of backs and levels that my staff think maybe some of the highest levels in the united states for almost thirty years this very serious problem had not actually been addressed what will that investigation into the chemical industry secrets revealed

. this despicable. this is r t headlining right now in france a car has been deliberately rammed into a police van on the say in paris driver is dead. and london driven into a crowd of worshippers outside a mosque injuring several people in what's being treated as terrorism one person died at the scene. this was an attack on mostly. place of worship. russia's military suspends cooperation with the united states in syria and says that american backed aircraft will now be tracked as targets for a syrian fighter jet was downed by an american warplanes.
