we have an exclusive report from the italian. being forced to work. the country is under enormous pressure over the crisis. in the south china sea. relations between the countries are heading to. the. news. launching a. video of him against the media.

monday morning here in moscow thanks for joining us on r.t. international here your world headlines. italy is getting angry as it seeks support from other european countries over the. crisis it's threatening to close its ports to rescue ships now the interior minister claims the country's under huge pressure . since late two thousand and fourteen and the numbers are growing and with the crisis gripping the country reports. that the port of. forcing refugees to work for them. with a local journalist to find out the reality of the situation and she also hears from one migrant who shares his troubling ordeal. just behind me is where the famous sicilian. takes place. every day and while in the day it's

a hot spot for tourists in fact they're recommended to go and see the market is one of the things to do on the island of sicily but at night. something completely different and instead of selling fresh produce and fish being sold on the streets it's hard drugs and the majority of the people selling drugs. africa that's what we've been told by journalists. we film in secret with him on the streets. trafficking. drugs.

to sicily has a history of crime mainly perpetrated by the mafia what's happening now is that. with migrants to kerri-anne criminal activities the main gang acts which is forcing new migrants to work for them. to. form. used. don't in mecca refused to join black acts and its activities. or.

spending money. to do so how can i feel myself selling drugs is not the only way many my current a force to make money we've been told that many young people are being used for trafficking and prostitution here on the island of sicily and we're told that if we just head down this main street here literally just off this rain street is where many of the girls for lying to you in origin selling their bodies you know it's often know it's the girls refused to talk to me but it's clear the majority are only teenagers for many the reason migrants of forced into this would is the lack of help is available to them where a camp. beds don't. get to the migrants at the normal service there are like showers like food sometimes and often

people inside these camps almost minors they use it to the side the former to be prostitutes but i think it is. there is a very strong connection between the condition in the camps and the use of these migrants because where there is. an old kind of crime organization could be. there have been many investigations into the profile surrounding drugs only island as well as that of child prostitution but regardless of what the italian authorities. it's do nothing seems to be able to stamp it out it's one of the reasons is because there is a constant source of migrants who are willing to take the place of anybody who's removed from the streets for prostitution selling drugs this is

a problem that seems to have no solution even ski party system a. china deployed military vessels and jets to warn off an american warship that came within twelve nautical miles of triton island it's part of a disputed parasail island group in the south china sea wish china considers its territory and that's why beijing blames the u.s. for violating its territorial waters under the pretext of navigation freedom the u.s. side once again sent a military vessel into china's territorial waters this constitutes a serious political and military provocation the chinese side is dissatisfied with and opposed to the relevant behavior of the u.s. side the u.s. navy claims its maneuvers in the south china sea were carried out under the quote freedom of navigation act and it comes as u.s. china relations face a new low wonder trauma's presidency let's discuss this further now r.t. but i'd go for joining us in the studio good morning to you no surprise to some

though because for many months back now in fact during trump's presidential campaign he was always saying i will be tough on china is exactly what he said trump sold himself as the man to stand up to china economically he said he was going to bring back american jobs or rather take them back he was going to tax the chinese make it harder for them to make billions and billions in america militarily as well he said that he was that man that would show china america's true military might take money. we can't continue to allow china to rape our country and i want china dictating to me. but as trump often does he appear to flip flop but trump is a businessman he likes business he likes you know the economy economy's growing and money flowing between various sides deals being made and that's what he did with

the chinese they became almost friendly and it ended up with them donald trump and the chinese leaders she being eating chocolate cake together. i think we're. a tremendous progress in a relationship with china the relationship developed. as it is she and most of it is a. forward. to the future. it appeared as though all the nightmare scenarios had failed to materialize that all those dire predictions you know were wrong china and the united states were friends almost paulos until now now the media is saying the honeymoon is over but what are there any other factors potentially influencing what is being called by some a new low in ties between washington and beijing well that's exactly what happened over the last month we had a series of events starting with you know

a violation of chinese claim violation of its territory by the united states would ship in spotty the islands which china claims in the south china sea then you had the united states listing china as one of the worst human trafficking offenders in the world and i think what really did it is the united states don't trump announces and he does like selling guns east sold all rather they're planning a deal to sell one point four billion dollars worth of arms to taiwan which is which china claims or you know says that it's part of china and that certainly the chinese. under two hundred you don't be taiwan is an inseparable part of china we firmly opposed the export of arms to taiwan we stressed that nobody can weaken our determination to uphold the territorial integrity of a sovereign state we oppose any external interference in our domestic affairs in

the us to stop arms sales to taiwan and all military contacts to avoid any further damage to our relations it's been something of a roller coaster it's gone from the campaign and diet predictions then to corporation and partnership and now over the span of a month web back down here and you know there's no telling what will happen next donald trump isn't exactly the sort of fellow you can predict and the chinese leader coming to moscow this week potentially some interesting conversations to be held in the kremlin what i guess if thank you. well the editor of veterans today jim dean believes the dispute in the south china sea is part of a long term sparring campaign that's not going to fade away anytime soon this is part of a sparring campaign that i think is going to go on for quite a while this this dispute over who has sovereignty over the south china sea is going to be with us for years it really doesn't have all the united states

because it's on the other side of the world but the u.s. likes to show the flag but china has major interest here because it's got a billion people a huge energy. which it's spending a lot of its foreign earnings importing so a long range if there is energy found in this area it wants to lay claim to it and of course the u.s. is basically saying we will we will challenge that donald trump has taken another swipe at the media by posting a mock video of a wrestling match between him and c.n.n. . it will on to it wants in the past traumas repeatedly

accuse c.n.n. of broadcasting fake news about him and possible ties to russia in a recent tweet he said he was thinking of changing the channel's name to fraud news c.n.n. . because the fake media tried to stop us from going to the white house. when i'm president and they're not it will all the fact is the press has destroyed themselves because they went too far i was c.n.n. responded with its own tweet accusing the president of juvenile behavior and of encouraging violence against reporters and c.n.n. is not the only one up or perhaps struggling with credibility problems at the moment as a leper trying to explain they only seem to occur when it comes to the russian narrative. if only it were a fact that russia hacked the u.s. elections that would make some journalist lives so much easier here's something

recent from the new york times the american intelligence community has said there were some interference is a fact not an opinion get it fact ok but you still have to explain why something's a fact they chose this report with its many high degree of confidence tags attention judgments that don't imply that the assessment is a fact while the author of this and why tom's article got too carried away scroll down correction these system was not approved by all seventeen organizations in the american intelligence community though that's what millions of new york times readers were told in the original article at least it got caught with all those pesky fact checkers about life ain't that easy yet in school they taught me about the world's most respected news organizations like the times associated press but what do i see now on a.p.'s website that very same clarification

correction for four stories over a period of three months you bet that correction didn't reach as many people a piece of describers as the original four wires last week we got a glimpse into how stories with the hash tag russia and trump are done on c.n.n. the morning c.n.n. constantly rush to the source of. this ratings but honestly. it's just like. most of the you know we don't know and. john. this video was leaked after another c.n.n. online piece about trump's russia ties trump's associate has met a c.e.o. of a russian investment fund that headline would make the internet go. it's but guess what it turned out to be false the article was were cracked it completely no

corrections had three c.n.n. staff members resigned well you can only learn from your mistakes just don't be so shy owning up to what the associated press news agency recently made clarifications regarding several stories are published on russia supposedly meddling in the us elections we've also lost them to clarify why they repeatedly run stories stating what they admitted to be false facts so far we've had no response but all the hotel blames and overall for all in the quality of investigative journalism sad fact of you know life since about nine hundred ninety nine is that instead of having newsrooms filled with empowered investigative journalists with budgets the mainstream media has cut back on that so that even c.n.n. doesn't really have that many investigative journalists there nor does the new york times i think that's evident in their reporting it will take a while to turn the trend around in the case of c.n.n. we are talking as regards trump and indeed as against the conservative elements of the united states of america of

a nonstop this information campaign and when it comes to trump spewing fraudulent nonsense about you know what had happened in the election and after the election they've severely lost their way which is evidenced i think in the long term trend in their viewership but let's remember this is the network admittedly they later fired kathy griffin for holding up a mock severed head of our president and c.n.n. the same network is complaining about a cartoon i mean give me a break. this is. a monday headlines here on this network and we're back in just a few moments with more of your world wide. in case you're new to the game this is how. the economy is built around. corporations from washington to washington.

voters elected to businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. seemed wrong wrong just don't all. get to shape out. comes to the ticket and in. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. choose to look for common ground.

thank you joining us wiki leaks chief julian assange has lashed out at a number of media outlets which claims have been calling for his assassination you made a number of posts on twitter under the hash tag tolerant liberal the whistleblower tweeted a number of articles and clips in which death threats were made against him he claimed the outlets are biased as they go along with the worst elements of state power and they love censorship he said he was simply being targeted for telling the truth the american philosopher explained how neo liberalism is in fact increasing tyranny instead of increasing freedom all of this in the latest episode of on contact with chris hedges the full interview on our website and on our america's youtube page here's a quick clip. what did you say well this is the so-called neo liberal shift to try to shift decisions from the public arena to what's called the market the market how

do you define the a liberalism it's basically the idea is private is reduce the role of the public institutions. to regulate to. permit to infect encourage the growth of financial institutions the network of policies of this kind as the ideology claims it's increasing freedom so actually increasing tyranny it means that instead of decisions and choices being made in the public arena where the public in principle has something of a role in the state to the degree that the state is democratic maybe an actual rule shifting it to private tyrannies corporate sector. twenty foster in moscow the russian foreign ministry has condemned what it calls

a smear campaign against the syrian government ministries spokeswoman marie as a was referring to videos circulating online claiming to show the off the author of a chemical weapons attack ordered by president assad. this social media smear campaign under the banner assad used chemical weapons has now started just as we predicted you'll see more of this fake videos over the following days the complain this plan to be on a grand scale the videos purporting to show victims of a chemical attack flooded social media on saturday it came not long after the white house accused the syrian government of being in preparation to use chemical weapons but syrian journalist i'll let you put him believes the accusation makes no sense mr cleaver command of the tsunami issued a statement denying any use of chemical weapons saying that there's actually is a world known tactic used by dong terrorist groups according to the statement of the syrian army when these groups feel that they are on the fallback they try to

stage chemical attacks to stop the army from advancing we're going to discuss the circumstances surrounding these attacks but it doesn't make a lot of sense for the syrian government when swimming in achieving actually substantial most real games are more than one from that it would do something that would enable the rebels to benefit from international support which would actually force the army to bring its operations into complete. so it seems there's just no stopping the german footballing machine the world cup holders have now out at the confederations cup to their trophy cabinet after seeing off chile in the final of sunday's game and some petersburg only sold one gold after germany seized on a mistake by the chilean defense so this was right outside the box there despite a number of decent chances chile just couldn't get themselves back into the game earlier in the day portugal beat mexico two to one in extra time to take third place in the tournament there was a charged atmosphere throughout the match which did see two red cards. and former

england striker stan collymore have been covering the championship i've been looking back at the best moments of our coverage have also been meeting some of those who played a special part in the proceedings. i'm all the time but i. see life. now like it's now my name is not. from c.l. i like the stone i think this place in the heart is not calling oh. oh oh oh oh oh oh oh absolutely say cheese eating oh i really want to focus on the post cause we've had such good fun i'm going last month we're out of great fun so let's just walk through this one last time before we head back over to england one of the highlights for you lots of different things to talk about fans the football

cultural aspects even the food was very good she can say. point zero six three take a look at. the last election of. the plants now. oh. this is speaking stadium one of the most famous in the world rican say wait. for the race track over to i was the most see the kid said. the fish in the back from the sky. we could see the.

full full the long ball. it's been great fun but we really have to go for me. to come here is as a tourist primarily a cut up white to come back and i will come back. i am. so sorry i just lost racists and here you can spare. the chance of a defeat. on the slate you do you expect you were told he would keep hearing the racist hooligans they're everywhere. we've spoken to people from the guardian we've spoken say family groups in the poll just ground the call in some places. you have to look at things in context all they're

a group of in virtually every european country yes unfortunately gone to the sports i've seen england fans misbehave on tolls red squares like this one pope's balls have seen german fans do it french fans do it i mean last year the whole narrative about russia being a bad place to call. these around fifty to one hundred eighty it's tied themselves on to. the only thing really left for us to decide is he gets to keep the ball those fake signatures the stan collymore singing to michael and i'm just seeing now on e-bay how much i can get you can you can help me with more you are so so generous i tell you what stand will be able to sing a few more presenters to see me for the world cup thank you but you are definitely in the running of all the list and say about a fantastic song genuinely an aussie thank you for invites and may. be able to do this all again at the world cup next year. thanks for joining us here in our

international so far today coming up next on this network is going on the ground unless you're joining us from the u.k. or ireland a talk show for people who think differently renegade before you. i . think i've always thought that cut us off p.b.s. could. bosler the dubrovnik in venice are all fixed travel destinations so it must be nice

to live there or is it. to. go crowds of tourists disrupt the city's economic and social life in them and hopefully before the sun the celestial get out of them that it was such a traditional story some nuts i am somebody to see that as weak as my money to a school my days i'm back on my feet while the city's tried desperately not to collapse all powerful corporations collect the profit of vision totally cool with who put this up it will probably go up on the dock coffee cup at dolly a konami in the bushes up the on some snark up the supposed to me of a. life. is a tourist phobia will fail fall into an identity.

i'm after an intense and we're going on the ground forty seven years to the day of the falls curfew clashes between the i. ray and the british army presaged a british lockdown of thousands of homes in belfast coming up in the show good natured poems and policy line the path to the deadliest migration routes in the world we speak to n.g.o.s global justice now about the two thousand men women and children that have died looking for safety in europe so far this year and is the u.s. national security agency responsible for the patio ransomware attack we speak to surveillance expert sam given emma about how a cyber terrorist could take control of britain's nuclear weapons plus as the royal observatory in greenwich one of the birthplaces of time is currently begging for restoration money on a crowdfunding page we are leading neuroscientist professor dean when i'm on to why the architecture of the human mind is unveiling the intricacies of time itself and

a good day to bury bad news what stories are being lost in a black hole in this week's buried news poll visible coming up at today's going underground but first what is the point of the african union as leaders gather in ethiopia will any of them express their anger at nato nation military and economic war against the continent maybe this man you want. more or. we. would not agree with your point. you. need to call him. julius malema there seeking to take power in africa's richest country arguably channeling this leader who used to run africa's richest per capita country do you accept that capitalism has successfully industrialized countries and made them

wealthy. in the. wealth. we reject. because it means accepting the monopoly of ownership in the economy but i hope that is. included. we reject it because the communism we believe in is a book but to suppression. no wonder the u.k. arguably had to destroy gaddafi albeit under the pretext of saving lives your city was an inspiration to the womb as you say joe and she was david cameron who is supported by tourism a crowing about nature success just before libya descended into chaos maybe some nato nations are changing about africa though given this man is currently polling as favorites to be the next british prime minister. because our british officers norwegian farmers. united states. western involvement

brought up fact most of the problems colonialism truth. and the west exploited their natural resources ever since and happy to continue that something i. said all this time i reach are rising up i can still see and unemployment. rising up with us perhaps. you just haven't turned. this washing plan or anywhere else in the world to paraphrase u.k. tory prime minister howard mcmillan the winds of change may soon be allowed to blow across africa. but back to today over eighty thousand people have fled africa to europe with twelve thousand men women and children dead or presumed missing in the past three years trying to cross the mediterranean into europe in what has become the deadliest migration route in the world joining me is

dorothy grace guerrero from global justice majority thanks so much for coming on with a few on noble exceptions why do you think the refugee crisis has all but disappeared from our t.v. screens well more because also people don't want to talk about it they wish to see a bit and there are good but the interesting fact is that the last two important elections held here in the u.k. the basis was decided it was decided on the basis of stopping migration which is a funny thing isn't it which all we hear radiation but i think i would rather frame it not as a migrant crisis because it's not actually a crisis of migration i would rather look at it more as the crisis in our economic system this is related to economic policies this is related to food policies climate policies investment military security so it is after the political economic crisis if you would look at the case of somalia for example in many other countries not just somalia but africa or even egypt for example what we have after the is

a managed diaspora of people who are working here in europe in managing to send money back so on to some extent that help the economy that help many countries survive but then on the long term that kind of sort of they asked for is that after the sustainable because what this imagines is about as we've been living in the it allows their five minutes back home to buy some basic needs but in the long run it doesn't help the economy because in the first place the economic policies that he was talking to earlier what is happening at the moment is that many countries in the global south do not have the power anymore to make their. own in the us are policies or to have their own economic policies that has been diminished that has been dismantled they don't have the capacity anymore to do to run their own economy because policies dictated from the outside either because they they are

indebted so they have to follow the dictates of the international financial institutions or because they are signatory to free trade agreements or bilateral investment treaties or the world trade organization have a decades we've had clear criticism of the international monetary fund of the world bank for publishing. killing and wounding displacing billions but. in terms of numbers do you think the european union trade looks like this and now taking over from the bretton woods institutions as being the bad guys i mean the tariffs on african vegetables and fruits mean that they can export european union clothing is what is what we have like like one can sequence of about the agreement or a bad treaty or a bad economic nobody can i make regime after another if you will look back all the way that's in the seventy's in the eighty's during the structural adjustment policies followed by many african governments latin american or asian governments

this is the time when many of the local industries died in the steel industries when the factory in the stories they all disappeared because people have to or the governments have to follow a certain economic economic policies that will make them just the source of raw materials and export their own labor so the in some countries exporting labor is an alternative because they don't have their own industrial policy so exporting of labor means they can these the laborers can or can earn and send remittances so their families and in the end. they get trapped on in that to this there are some research that we've made that shows actually that the developing countries sent already part treated more than sixteen. billion dollars in debt repayment and

capital flight you're rich countries a rich country or countries paying you. also are the framing of the of the discourse here because i got to say having the obviously some bricks and voters may realize i was right there were different directions what if what would you say has now added to all of our say british weapons being censored. developing nations presumably the excuse of the government here would be thousands of jobs in britain . are created by pouring weapons into the countries all these refugees are fleeing from what we think of that excuse to the also big hypocrisy that's why refugees or those people fleeing war leaving the bombs that are funded and manufactured by this own companies are not welcome here so it's this kind of situation on the where there isa open. people copy tell can go anywhere the once business sect the business eschaton can go anywhere invests extract resources

impoverished the local population but those who are suffering from the consequence of that are not welcome here are the great square or thank you. companies all over the world are still reeling from the latest around somewhere attack named petyr vulnerabilities in systems designed by microsoft which also design software used in britain's trident weapons of mass destruction system were allegedly exploited by a technology called it tunnel blue surveillance expert and web developer somdev anima joins me now via skype from his wallet in the netherlands sounded thanks so much for going back on the show that edward snowden granted asylum by russia is claiming that the ransomware jack is using u.s. government national security agency technology that possible yes yes that's very possible i mean in march this year i think sharon rocha's which is a sort of. blackouts hacker group got its hold on. a man tire collection

of and sorry tools and then released them on to the web and this was subsequently. put to one crime or we heard before which we saw here and now there's not. more where well were you surprised. then that well before it hit the russian energy giant ross nafta did seem to have taken out the entire nation of ukraine's infrastructure before it had fed ex the world's largest advertising agency w p p a little and danish shipping from musk surprise that these companies i mean we were all expecting it to be north korea russian hackers why weren't they these companies blaming the u.s. national security agency yes i mean i was moving from that this as well. i don't know why why did you complain i mean to us up to them bugs yes i mean they are vulnerable and. it's you know it's not only you know those companies you mentioned

but also you know who lives as well i mean in rotterdam one of the largest harbors in the world john you know that one container terminal got hit america to the pension good people as well and you know this is costing millions of pounds so . so i would expect some more. you know point you imagine that you know you're waiting for russia to be playing to north korea and i think that's a very good point and one thing you shoot remember is that the cia has this separate from the group within the cia it is specifically designed to make some attack look like it came from somewhere else so this produced was released to. have collection so that's you know another. angle those well we don't know for

certain whether it comes from from the russia not from the americans not from north korea or anywhere else simply because these tools exist that took allow you to to sort of feed a pretty attack very strong. on what you know if another group britain's defense secretary said michael phelan albeit that the reason. he said the president outside of syria was about to resign he'd have his head that the new h.m.s. queen elizabeth the biggest warship britain's ever made which also uses microsoft operating systems x.p. everything is going to be ok if you look at the total cost of ownership for for windows microsoft products right now it's pretty hard i mean after all the syntax i mean of course microsoft is doing its best to patch and protect its technologies but i mean if you look at it from sort of the larger perspective would you really. build an ad craft carrier which uses an operating system there's no longer

supported by microsoft it has not been supported it seems two thousand and fourteen it's unbelievable that the. aircraft carrier comes out. you know out of the factory. with ancient. technology just very briefly to raise amaze response to recent terror attacks was increased internet surveillance and that defense secretary i mentioned earlier says there's bomb the hackers if necessary using the r.a.f. sensible solutions i mean i find it's quite quite shocking you got to talk to paul acars i mean it's it's completely. out of most magical response to this problem i mean what needs to be done is done britain and other countries as well to take a really good look at. infrastructure after cyber security if you will

and make sure that everything is always patched make sure that they don't use proprietary operating systems if possible because total i was here if you don't you start. to inspect the source code and verify it. so they should be doing that instead of you know let's just bomb the hackers because i mean. sure the. solution to the problem. after the break time the most common language we speak. about his groundbreaking research on the brain and free will and space the final front page. stories that have been eclipsed by the mainstream in this week's.

ability to think about time to reminisce about the past and perhaps more importantly to imagine the future imagine a potential future for example i think one of the most important technological innovations of human human beings ever was probably agriculture and that we tend to . fully appreciate that. but the act of planting a seed is something kemper all right we're doing that for the future it's not for the present reward now but for something that we will reap in six months or a year and every society depended on it which is why a language so low reflects that history our ability to understand space seems to have been borrowed. in the same sense we think of left or right we think of past or future and one of the pieces of evidence that people use port that theory is that when you and i talk about time we often use spatial metaphors will say i'm looking forward in the future to meet you or in hindsight that was

a bad idea of mind and so we tend to spatial eyes time and. normally the future is in front of us and the past is behind us but some cultures actually do the opposite and some cultures like the native natives of bolivia the past is in front of them and the future behind them so saying so tomorrow i will visit you and that's a bit weird but if you think about it the future is unknown we can't see it and the past we already know it's in a way that makes a bit more sense you present one central dichotomy in the book which is what you will present is a little attorney just described said well that is because that's very different views of so now this is a much deeper for the offical question that. interacts with physics so this is a deep question of what is time ok so fine we imagine time we think about the future we miss about the past but what is time at the deepest sense of the word and

the sort of two views of this one as we call eternal ism and there the past and the future are equally real so one way to put it is that now is to time as here is to space just like you and i are here but we accept that viewers and everybody else are other points in space there's. there are versions of you and me if you will at other points in time which of course loves allows. time travel so this is sort of what enables the talk of time travel and meanwhile though there is present ism and then there's present tism in which under present ism only the present is real so the past. disappears into the void and no longer exist except in our memory and the future is wide open. and yet to come some configuration of the universe that has not yet happened but only the present is real and in physics sort of more accepted view is actually the most counterintuitive one which is the

tournaments i'm which is called the block universe and so the standard view in physics is actually that the past present and future are equally real which to which is a bit incompatible with our daily experience which makes it very hard to understand what we feel as the flow of time at least as far as your stage of the oh it is at the moment we can say something though about how the brain itself tells him no matter what capitalism we have done to upset the in rhythms being what it was accurate time keep busy you say until the seventeenth said you have so little brain right the human brain is very different from like the clock us on our risk the clocks on our risks are a product of a man standing least successful technology right but the human brain has been telling time through multiple different mechanisms so we use we have one way to tell circadian rhythm this is what you just referred to and that because we want is a sick a view rhythm so the circadian rhythm is what drives our behaviors to go to bad to

get up to eat and we know a lot about that there's a part in your brain called the super cosmetic nucleus sort of deep in the basement of your brain that undergoes these twenty four hour oscillations for the all the zeros contracts would. reduce everything this is occurring with the. the cells over the ori within the nuclei of you know and so so mr kadian clock indeed is working in this individual cells and neurons throughout your body actually and it works because the d.n.a. makes a protein and that protein in turn inhibits the synthesis of that exact protein so you have a cycle and as you say people who work in certain professions in which they don't have regular hours be it. airline pilots or or or employees in zero our contracts if that's affecting the cicada rhythm you know that has

absolutely. health consequences for the long term what about i mean to let alone. bits right at the end of the book one of them. that humans ability evolutionarily suited to long term planning i mean perhaps the reason why capitalism is so successful the short term fight the thing when it comes to recall the genes a lot of the problems we face as individuals and as the sunny i would argue arise from our temporal myopia are not acting enough for thinking enough about the future and so at the personal every level whether that some say credit card debt or not working out or not eating healthy so yes i think that while the human brain is unique in its ability to think about the long term future we have to get better at it we have to. improve our temporal myopia by acting more in the present to improve the future and then just for the the ugly beef was frightening element to move more

of your research into this subject you'll feel this is goal that. you took at the end about human free will. you know what is the state of near a science when it comes to what human freewill the cornerstone of freedom itself is a lot of things you and i are doing are happening unconsciously and some of them bubbles up if you will to conscious perception so some of what the unconscious mind is doing. creates a narrative that we think of as consciousness so in my view i think that there's a time delay between the two there has a right that you take in criminal courts or have to judge the time delay before a monitor for it is so so this is the this there's absolutely a time delay in that if i and away we know there's a time delay or one of the piece of evidence for this time delays they can do experiments where they ask say so move your finger whenever you want and they can measure when you use move your finger but they can measure in your brain before you move your finger so in

a way they know you're going to move your finger experimenter's before you actually know or move your finger so there's. brain signals are signatures that preceded seemed to proceed voluntary action so i think the most can sweat that's telling us is that. free will is probably best interpreted as the feeling the unconscious mind generates of having made a decision now what this means to our actions is i think people need to embrace the fact that wed they're your decisions arise from the unconscious brain or from the conscious brain it doesn't matter it's who you are you are your unconscious brain and your and your conscious brain. and that's who i am so if the decision comes from my unconscious or conscious it doesn't matter it's still me president thank you and that's it for the show we're back on wednesday with labor m.p. laura pitt koch on why she said the u.k. bottom it reeks of the establishment in a major speech jill that you talk about social media deal with

a sick feeling is that the day that the british labor government lost the u.k. national health service act dating universal health all in. one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber crime. who did it why did it come from and as we've seen with many of these attacks i mean you've mentioned one across the recent run somewhere attack it's still unclear where that originated from so our clear message to government is to work together around the world to minimize this risk to grow those relationships and make sure that diplomacy is the key to everything. welcome to the wonderful world of blood donation i come here every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive immunoglobulin that my body gets and

support is that it cannot produce itself around the world giving blood is seen as a symbol of generosity and does this. people one of the side of. the. money on your car. today come from a private company. paid. from . one of the paid donation. then is proof that the frequency of. it. and who runs the business.

we have an exclusive report from the italian port of. the country. over the. ship's jets to ward off the u.s. destroyer. territory in the south china sea raising concerns relations between the countries are heading to a new low. for the launching of. the media outlets.

mid-morning here in moscow on this monday thanks for joining us with the international we have new. well italy is getting angry as it seeks support from other european countries over the ongoing migrant crisis it's now threatening to close its ports to rescue ships the interior ministry claims that the country is under huge pressure now all of the country has actually taken in hundreds of thousands of people who have crossed from the mediterranean across the mediterranean from africa in fact according to the united nations almost eight thousand people have arrived. since. some estimates predict the number will reach two hundred twenty thousand by the end of twenty seventeen. has been calling on its neighbors to help even use drones and dogs to hunt down those trying to slip across the border between the countries. reports.

of forcing refugees to work. just behind me is where the famous sicilian. takes place. every day while in the day it's a hot spot for tourists in fact they recommended to. one of the things to do on the island of sicily but at night. something completely different and instead of selling fresh produce and fish. in the streets hey it's hard drugs and the majority of the people selling drugs. africa that's what we've been told by journalists. we filmed in secret on the streets.

trafficking. drugs. using. sicily has a history of crime mainly perpetrated by the mafia what's happening now is that. with migrants to carry and criminal activities the main gang acts which is forcing new migrants to work for them.

to. formed. used. don't in mecca refused to join black acts and its activities since then three years ago or. so the hundred spinnin come what to do so how can i feel myself selling drugs is not the only way many my current a force to make money we've been told that many young people are being used for trafficking and prostitution here on the island of sicily and we're told that if we just head down this main street here literally just off this main street is where many of the girls for lying to you in origin selling their bodies you know it's

often know it's the girls refused to talk to me but it's clear the majority are only teenagers for many the reason migrants of forced into this would is the lack of help is available to them where a camp. beds and. to the migrants enormous service like there are like showers like food sometimes and often people inside these camps almost minors they use it to the side the four to be prostitutes but i think it is. there is a very strong connection between the condition in the camps and the use of these migrants because where there is a. kind of crime organization could be. there have been many investigations into the profile surrounding drugs only island

as well as that of child prostitution but regardless of what the italian authorities. do nothing seems to be able to stamp it out on one of the reasons is because there is a constant source of migrants who are willing to take the place of anybody who is removed from the streets for prostitution or selling drugs this is a problem that seems to have no solution chill it even ski ulti sicily. is r.t. international china has ordered military vessels and jets to warn off an american warship that came within twelve nautical miles of triton island it is part of the disputed parasail island group in a south china sea which china considers its territory and that's why beijing blames the u.s. for violating its territorial waters under the pretext of navigation freedom the u.s. side once again since

a military vessel into china's territorial waters this constitutes a serious political and military provocation the chinese side is dissatisfied with and opposed to the relevant behavior of the u.s. side the u.s. navy claims its maneuvers in the south china sea were carried out under the freedom of navigation act but it comes as u.s. china relations face a new low one donald trump's presidency but earlier in the program i discussed this with r.t.s. but i guess d.f. . trump sold himself as the man to stand up to china economically he said he was going to bring back american jobs or rather take them back he was going to tax the chinese make it harder for them to make billions and billions in america money. we can't continue to allow china to rape our country at all in china dictating to me as often happens with trump things quickly changed he's a businessman the chinese of certain you know they've got

a lot to add to america's economy and they can change the slew we became friends and their the ended up with donald trump and she being. chocolate cake together i think we have. a tremendous progress in a relationship with the relationship developed. as it is she and most of it is a. forward. to the future appeared as though all the nightmare scenarios had failed to materialize that all those dire predictions you know were wrong china and the united states were friends almost powells until now now the media is saying the honeymoon is over what are there any other factors potentially influencing what is being called by some a new low in ties between washington and beijing well that's exactly what happened over the last month we had a series of events starting with the chinese claim violation of its territory by

the united states would ship in spotty the islands which china claims in the south china sea then you had the united states listing china as one of the worst human trafficking offenders in the world and i think what really did it is the united states don't trump announcing that he does like selling guns east sold or rather they're planning a deal to sell one point four billion. dollars worth of arms to taiwan which is which china claims or you know says that it's part of china and that certainly the chinese under two hundred you don't be taiwan is an inseparable part of china we firmly opposed the export of arms to taiwan we stressed that nobody can weaken our determination to uphold the territorial integrity of a sovereign state we oppose any external interference in our domestic affairs the u.s. to stop arms sales to taiwan and military contacts to avoid any further damage to

our relations it's been something of a roller coaster it's gone from the campaign and dire predictions then to cooperation and partnership and now over the span of a month with back down here and you know there's no telling what will happen next donald trump isn't exactly the sort of fellow you can predict with the editor of a veteran's daily jim dean believes the dispute in the south china sea is part of a long term sparring campaign that isn't going to fade away any time soon this is part of a sparring campaign that i think is going to go on for quite a while this this dispute over who has sovereignty over the south china sea is going to be with us for years it really doesn't have all the united states because it's on the other side of the world but the u.s. likes to show the flag but china has major interest here because it's got

a billion people a huge energy. appetite which it's spending a lot of its foreign earnings importing so a long range if there is energy found in this area it wants to lay claim to it and of course the u.s. is basically saying we will we will challenge that. taken up a swipe at the media by posting a mock video of a wrestling match between him and c.n.n. . it wants it wants in the past it trumps repeatedly accused c.n.n. of broadcasting fake news about him and possible ties to russia in a recent tweet he said he was thinking of changing the channel's name to fraud news c.n.n. . the fake media tried to stop us from going to the white house

when i'm president and they're not go on the fact the prince has destroyed themselves because they went too far. c.n.n. responded with its own tweet accusing the president of juvenile behavior and of encouraging violence against reporters however twitter has since responded saying the president's post has not violated any of its rules. or c.n.n. is not the only one struggling with credibility problems i present as they are trying to explain they only seem to intensify when it comes to the russian narrative. if only it were a fact that russia hacked the u.s. elections that would make some journalist lives so much easier here's something recent from the new york times the american intelligence community has said they were shown interference is a fact not an opinion get it fact ok but you still have to explain why something's

a fact they chose this report with its many high degree of confidence tags attention judgments that don't imply that the assessment is a fact while the author of this and why times article got too carried away scroll down correction the assessment was not approved by all seventeen organizations in the american intelligence community though that's what millions of new york times readers were told in the original article at least it got caught with all those pesky fact checkers about life ain't that easy yet in school they taught me about the world's most respected news organizations like the times associated press but what do i see now on a.p.'s website that very same clarification the correction for four stories over a period of three months you bet that correction didn't reach as many people

a piece of describers as the original four wires last week we got a glimpse into how stories with the hash tag russia and trump are done on c.n.n. live on c.n.n. constantly a. rush of this for the. business ratings but honestly if you think. it's just like. most of the you know we don't know and. john. proof this video was leaked after another c.n.n. online piece about trump's russia ties trump's associate has met a c.e.o. of a russian investment fund that headline would make the internet go. nuts but guess what it turned out to be false the article was were cracked it completely no corrections had three c.n.n. staff members resigned well you can only learn from your mistakes just don't be so shy owning up to what the associated press news agency recently made clarifications

regarding several stories have published on russia's supposedly meddling in the us elections we've also lost them to clarify why they repeatedly run stories stating what they needed to be false facts so far we've had no response but all the hotel blames an overall fall in the quality of investigative journalism sad fact of you know wife since about one nine hundred ninety nine is that instead of having newsrooms filled with empowered investigative journalists with budgets the mainstream media has cut back on that so that even c.n.n. doesn't really have that many investigative journalists there nor does the new york times i think that's evident in their reporting it will take a while to turn the trend around the case of c.n.n. we are talking as regards trump and indeed as against the conservative elements of the united states of america of a nonstop this information campaign and when it comes to trump spewing fraudulent nonsense about you know what it happened in the election and after the election

they've severely lost their way which is evidenced i think in the long term trend in their viewership but let's remember this is the network admittedly they later fired kathy griffin for holding up a mock severed head of our president and c.n.n. the same network is complaining about a cartoon i mean give me a break. this is also international thanks for joining us more of your monday world headlines and just. this is a central plank support diet supplements called them right. here's

what people have been saying about rejected in. the show i go out of my way to. really. parent me better than. i see. heard of. the world bank. seriously send us an e-mail. with us today wiki leaks chief julian assange has lashed out at a number of media outlets which he claims have been calling for his assassination

and made a number of posts on twitter under the hashtag tolerant liberal the white house the whistleblower tweeted a number of articles and clips and wished death threats were made against him he claimed the outlets all biased as they go along with the worst elements of state power and they love censorship he said he was simply being targeted for telling the truth former m i five intelligence officer believes the media is retaliating for hillary clinton's loss in the presidential election. he's highlighting at the moment i think is that rather than the republicans in america who have always been calling for this now it's also what he calls the torrent liberals the democratic party type people in america saying exactly the same things because they feel that he damaged the electoral chances of hillary clinton in the election last year and despite what he says that despite other evidence coming out that it was in fact a leak not a hack. the democratic movement in america seems to be pursuing him actually much

more vigorously than i have in the past so he's probably feeling under threat from both the the republican establishment and the democratic establishment american philosopher chomsky features in the latest episode of our contact program where you define exactly what neo liberalism is the full interview are available on our website america's youtube page. basically the idea is private is reduce the role of the public institutions to. deregulate to. permit to infect encourage the growth of financial institutions and the. policies of this kind as the ideology claims it's increasing freedom so actually increasing tyranny means that instead of decisions and choices being made in the public arena we're the public in principle has something to rule the state to the

degree that the state is democratic may be an actual rule shifting it to private tyrannies corporate sector. twenty posture in moscow the russian foreign ministry has condemned what it calls a smear campaign against the syrian government the ministries spokeswoman was referring to a video circulating online claiming to show the aftermath of a chemical weapons attack ordered by president assad. the social media smear campaign under the banner assad used chemical weapons has now started just as we predicted you'll see more of this fake videos over the following days the complain this plan to be on a grand scale of videos purporting to show victims of a chemical attack flooded social media on saturday it came not long after the white house had accused the syrian government of preparing to use chemical weapons but

syrian journalist believes the accusation makes no sense mr command of the sarong issued a statement denying any use of chemical weapons saying that this actually is a world tactic used by terrorist groups according to the statement of the syrian army when these groups feel that they are on the fallback they try to stage chemical attacks to stop them from advancing if we're going to discuss the circumstances surrounding these attacks but it doesn't make a lot of sense for the syrian government when swimming near the town when achieving actually substantial most regain to more than one from that it would do something that would enable the rebels to benefit from international support which would actually force the army to bring its operations into a complete halt. so it seems there's just no stopping the german footballing machine the world cup holders have now added the confederations cup to their trophy cabinet after seeing off chile in the final of sunday's game and some petersburg only sold one goal after germany seized on

a mistake by the chilean defense right outside the box despite a number of decent chances chile just couldn't get themselves back in the game i earlier in the day portugal beat mexico two one in extra time to take third place in the tournament there was a charged atmosphere throughout the match was told to read cards. and former england striker stan collymore who've been covering the championship they've been looking back at the best moments of our coverage they've also been meeting some of those who played a special part in the perceive. come on. let's. see my. family now i might. come see you i like the sound i. like. clean. coal. leaks

a cheap easy oh i really want to focus on the polls because we have such good fun when we're out of great fun so let's just walk through this one last time before you head back off to england one of the highlights for you lots of different things to talk about fans the football cultural aspects even the food was very good she can say. point zero six take a look at. the last election it. was a snap. oh . this is the king state one of the most famous in the world rican say wait. for the race truck over to i was the most see the kid says. the push here in the back

racists and who can spare the clear the chance of a defeat see going to honestly you do you expect you are told you we keep hearing the race the hooligans they're everywhere looking where are they i mean we've spoken to people from the guardian we've spoken say family groups in the poll just ground the call in some places. you have to look at things in context all they're a group of wholly guinn's in virtually every european country yes unfortunately they had gone to the sport of seeing england fans misbehave on toll's red squares like this one pope's balls have seen german fans do it french funs do it i mean last year the whole narrative about russia being a bad place to call. these around fifty to one hundred eighty it's a tad themselves onto football clubs the only thing really left for us to decide is he gets to keep the ball those fake signatures to stan collymore singing to my god i'm just seeing now on e-bay how much i can get you can you can help me with more you are so funny and so generous i tell you what stand will be able to sing

a few more presenters the scene at least before the accompaniment and you are definitely in the running of very well to listen to say about a fantastic song genuinely or not say thank you for inviting make you know she might be able to do this all again at the world cup next year. i said joining us here on r.t. international more well the headlines in about half an hour's time between now and then crosstalk discussing the criticism that c.n.n. is facing over its russia coverage. thank you for new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington controls the media the media control over the voters elected businessman to run this country business equals

power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. absolutely the dubrovnik in venice are all fixed travel destinations so it must be nice to live there or is it. going to. go to wrists disrupt the city's economic and social life in them a little bit before this on the celestial get out of the traditional. sun not as i am somebody else you've done as we don't spend money. on the cities try desperately not to collapse. it. will put the couple who probably global on the dole coffee cup at home in the bushes up the on saabs knock up the suppose it's only a. fun time. as

guide. looking forward to your pension account. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain. you watch kaiser report. hello and welcome to crossfire we consider nine people of el revealing the truth c.n.n. in the nothing burger better known is russia gave also when trump tweeted in washington melted down and what to expect from the putin trump meeting.

talking some stories in the news i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst we also have victor although a bitch he is a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center for actual politics and we have dmitri bob she's a political analyst we spoke nick international. rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it a lot to cover here we have c.n.n. in the spotlight if it weren't for trump's tweets they think we'd be talking about all of them or we can talk about that at the counterfeit network news also known to some people as c.n.n. or the clinton network news outfit. since that story has moved along demon russia gapes something that is a spent force now well i mean it was this and my impression is that. you know the boss us in the mainstream media decided to push for higher quality. of life so this is the problem so for example. who is extremely anti russian but even

he was enraged when he read or boss speed he's an academic exactly an academic you know and some think tank in prague which says that russia is a threat what he read on boss feel that russia was going to attack the u.k. using the russian community in london to destabilize the country before they attack so you can imagine all these are all garage and billionaires suddenly taken why would cause something so you would just drop the case this is getting out of hand and that's why we can only see and we want to be in and i say get out of hand we had much a guess and say it was getting a little out of hand with these people that really the origins of the you know picture it seems to me that. the situation in western countries when it comes to news and media is that the news is about the media and i think this is this is the danger here because we're not talking about fox i mean if you look at c n n in b.c. i mean they have they haven't talked about newspaper or long long time and it's

really surprising when you see it now but it is kind of a reach to some kind of chris and what do you think. what is happening now with the conflict between the white house that can put the news station in the major news networks first of all it shows it discredits them shows them for what they are that they are really propaganda outlets and it shows that this isn't the first time they have been doing this let's go back to two thousand and two two thousand and three the iraq war the preparations for iraq war what did see and then see back then about the evidence about chemical and nuclear weapons in iraq about in the. weapons of mass destruction are what happened three years before that so every few years. the major news channels behave similarly it's not it's nothing new nothing new but make the differences the difference is people like us i think think it's alternative media that is making the difference right now because we had that in yugoslavia no one said a word because there wasn't any dissenting views we had the run up to an illegal

war in iraq there weren't any dissenting views because there weren't in there wasn't a media spaceport now there is mark is not a difference i think part of the difference is simply partisanship we although the corporate mainstream media in the united states is almost entirely dominated by a. pretty rabid liberal political parties in perspective but we also have news outlets like fox which are the opposite side drawn by the koch brothers. right domestic things like what the mainstream media is doing to trump now is no different than what fox did to obama it's simply that fox was one media outlet and this is a tidal wave so i think it's this is just standard this is the way the relationship between politics and the fourth the state works in the united states what they present themselves just doesn't wear their present themselves as a model for the world i think it's kind of disgusting but it's kind of like that

that car wreck that you're passing by that you can't help but the but rubberneckers she watches you're passing by it. seems to me. if we look at the president and we look at the media they're describing them so these are all self-inflicted wounds on all sides ok the problem is that just great in the institutions you know the situation over american press was discredited by the last election the terrible way because we never had such a situation when the press will be so biased you know we never had the acting president not just supporting the kind of the office party but also blasted you know the candidate or the other party. you know when they want to improve the quality of lies about russia there is a contradiction in terms because when they reach real high quality they actually want to tell the truth of all three major effects first russia did not forcibly occupy creamier want to deal with russia second russia is not going to attack the baltics and there is absolutely no indication about it you could get closer to take

the ball you need to get really good planned third and third mr ross is facing some real terrorists who want to subvert here not democrats nor more directs real terrorists so when they actually start operating with more or less quality if they're going to reveal these three facts i think the american for them to go to these negotiations you know as if i were going to be more important here victor is that the if there's any real scandal surrounding the two thousand and seventeen presidential cycle it's really what the justice department did under obama with the deep state with all of these leaks these are the real stories out there in the mainstream media minus sparks to some degree because we do push it but the ignore all about there's a lot of very very burning important burning questions about how the administration put their thumb on the scale in the election and it's slowly coming up with slowly but surely coming up because of this hysteria of investigation investigation it's

coming back again it's a boomerang and going back to the deep state that you just mentioned you know it would be somewhat naive to imagine that the american mainstream media is doing this all on its own there's just a war between a c.n.n. and major news corporations in the us never in their life bosses at c.n.n. and less than a b. c. and b. c b c c.b.s. and so forth go to war with the. british station without the tips they knew they knew that i didn't have the making of the special serious without the backing of the intelligence community without the backing of the american political establishment in. it's not just that democrats here mentioned the koch brothers throughout the election season west here called brothers opposed the whole term in fact in fact at some point one of the brothers said in an interview that he would prefer victory by democratic contender to a victory by their own terms and we see that in the american congress in the senate

in the house where a number of republican congressman and senator snowe do. we see mccain going around the world around the world going to australia and. really disparaging the president and the white house and this is a situation that is going to continue as long as this president as long as no term he's going to be in the white house they are not going to start i agree with you that the would need the help of the deep state in these intelligence communities but mark you if we go back to one of those revealing videotapes one of the producers at c.n.n. said ninety percent of my colleagues i mean it's a mindset that we can even you can tap into very easily i mean they're willing actors. in and pushing this kind of line from the deep state in other vested interests the koch brothers i mean you don't have to pay you have to bribe

willingly doing i was going to say i don't think it's necessary i mean they conducted their partisan more against before the election but they're certainly all too willing to serve as the eager sock puppets for the deep state's fight to take down or at least limit the foreign policy of the trumpet ministration which this leads to no of either countable unnamed anonymous deep state officials that never ending outright you know it is that really is a phenomenon and. the other hand the liberal media gets all upset when the other side uses anonymous officials leak leaking information and stories out. let's let's review the crumbling russia gay narrative in the in the past few weeks we've had the former director of the f.b.i. testifying under oath to the senate new york times story trying to draw regular connections of collusion between the trumpet ministration and senior russian

intelligence officers was largely not true in the main in the in the me. we have had this. new york times and the associated press new york times in particular maggie haberman i'll withdraw this this close shade. simply false narrative of seventeen intelligence work let me even me the former director of national intelligence officer testified under oath to senator alfonse that has been repeated over and over on who is to program ok some of the television shows some of these intelligence agencies like that just but. they don't even deal with these kinds of assessments so when you're saying so in the coast guard i bet they had a big game the question is why they felt the need to keep saying this to try to buttress the cause if you meant to add it sounds nice in seasons but. we've also we've also had. these repeated scandals at c.n.n.

with editors being fired trying to draw business connections between russia and the campaign that was tsonga and it cost three employees a couple reporters and an editor their jobs and now we've got these damaging videos coming out about c.n.n. cynical profit driven pursuit of this which are the narrative is crumbling but that doesn't mean that it will go down every day but we have a minute before we go to the break i agree with mark i mean it's what was new was never a case in the first place ok it was it was contrived here but it doesn't mean they're going to walk away from of invested a lot into it go ahead. i think the problem is in the ideal would you and trump made a mistake when he didn't buy the ideology but he just target the individual media people like. crazy or call him what's her name mika brzezinski. are all. ok so why would i would agree with that because i

mean yes i think that's a very fair description it might be argued with that personally but i want to be clear that that is but needs the dignity of the office i agree completely with the mainstream media on that and trump is damaging himself he needs to stop paying attention to these nominees in the media and government our government i'm sure you in these situations of the president had a stroke and we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some stories in the media stay with our team. make this manufacture consent to stick it to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final go around the sun be the one percent. we can

all middle of the room sick. there's a saying. look there on the cheap. and then we went through all the countries let's idea is their right to call you a scum he said if you give them everything. this . this is what we don't understand how we are in such. a. similar.

if. not got. on. with. we've come to the place story you have to see. one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber crime is. who did it where did it come from and as we've seen with many of these attacks i mean you've mentioned one across the recent somewhere it's still unclear where that originated from so our clear message to government is to work together around the world to minimize this risk to grow those relationships and make sure that diplomacy is the key to everything.

welcome back to crossfire where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle to remind you we're discussing some stories in the media. ok gentlemen let's switch gears we have upcoming we have the president of united states meeting the president of the russian federation something that trump i think one of the doing talked about during the campaign and he's been more or less blocked from doing it in the g. twenty and could be on the sidelines i've been hearing that he wants to have more formal and a lot of people. around him even his aides are saying it should be a lot more informal because of the atmosphere the toxic atmosphere here is not to be decided you know and we think though ok well wait here let's tell me what this meeting means if it means anything and what both presidents want to accomplish what both presidents were looking forward to this meeting for more than half

a year and the closer this meeting they got to this meeting the less they were you know we're looking forward to it simply because they expect the expectations are lower with every week with every day do you think that you think we should keep low expectations the expectations are so low so low you know there's nowhere to go that's their bottom and it's interesting why and when this leak happened about tampa apparently wanting. sort of more of the form of meetings or why it was this leaked and what was the intention what was the intent of those who leaked it so obviously the intent was to show that once sort of a more formal meeting with out over the edge of the sea state with put you know who cares according to all these mainstream media outlets and according to. verses in the american political establishment who has been sort of supporting his campaign made the all these unsubstantiated completely. worse and in the end and so the

purpose of the leak was not so much to show what the hell is going on in the white house but again to show that it is seeking to have a prolonged longer or a no to shows the promoter of an anonymous source in the media gaming out of the national security council. meeting out of the white house from people who are opposing term because right now there is a new story. we're going to get reaction to market and yeah i mean the latest is is another anonymous leak from the national zoo. curity council that trump is looking for deliverables things he can give to putin supposedly without necessarily any quid pro quo that will sweeten relations like giving back some of the diplomatic buildings that the u.s. from russia inside the united states yet but. at this point it's actually russia

that is playing down this meeting they're saying that well it all depends on putin's busy schedule they'll try to pencil him in. is what they said one donald he's no one likes if there's nothing policy wise going to be decided out of this meeting but it is very important because i think trump does form his relationships to a large extent through personality those first meetings will matter and he has built putin up i think in his own imagination in varying ways but also he's driven by ego and he's been completely assailed in the press by fictional magination isn't really needs to do you think you think i mean i mean i think mark's right here because of the personal relations and just to point to figure out who's alpha dog here is this what he's going to try to figure out well i think the explanation is very simple anything connected russia is about the person that of trump was immediately attacked and twisted in your logic by the mainstream media i mean he met with the

law and the mainstream media. all of a revealing american secrets the log off in the presence of many people in the room that's why he wants this meeting to be collective you know that's why he wanted many people around simply to avoid c.n.n. saying next day that he revealed to putin something secret you know give him a memory stick this is. only occurred once such a situation it was in the early years of the soviet union well basically then you did not meet for him need us for us because he was there evolutionary so he considered to be on his dignity to meet them and second because his own party it was like how come you were meeting with all of these imperialists will for many years the brass tried to facilitate the summits you know remember how the press was enthusiastic about reg meeting we're going to be a good idea now the mainstream press is doing everything to to. to basically

anything they didn't want to do want to wreck you don't want anything to come out the biggest. question there is also this meeting is basically is time going to see the end of it all this was a wonderful we've had a wonderful going to work is he not going to say it because it was a big league meeting and you know that's about it i just you know the switch gears here is we trump has been making a lot of noise about north korea here. for me there is no anything there are no good options here mark winds trump pushing this yeah i think this is trump trying to work presidential again and he's picking on an opponent that everybody does it everyone dislikes. trumps biggest problems right now is not with north korea i mean north korea doesn't present any serious military threat to the united states and never will or even to its neighbors south korea and japan this is all this is all largely about perception at this point north korea is

a nuclear power more at last and then we just have to accept that and part of the reason why they became a nuclear power is because they learned through repeated saddam hussein kadafi in libya that if you give up and i think that the only thing that protects you from us regime change is a nuclear weapon you give up their day or they learned that lesson well but trust big problem now is his relations not what north korea but with south korea they've got a new prime minister who is pushing for much of a new president i'm sorry president moon who is pushing for much better relations kind of a detente he wants discussion with north korea he's not happy about the fat the blame and that the u.s. snuck in in the middle making the south koreans are paid for it to get he had trouble getting the south koreans a pay for the trump wanting to renegotiate trade deals with south korea trump sending a fleet protects south korea that actually ends up in the indian ocean instead all of this is an extremely embarrassing and right now south korea has had. better relations with you know exactly what the president of the oval office meeting it

looks like to the new president of korea was kind of bending towards from sway deep explain to our audience because western audiences are never told the following what to the north koreans want well i mean just recently the south korean brass revealed that i would go in president to you know the woman who just had to quit as president. under her and this is a nation over there north korean leader kim jong un was plant i am no friend of kim jong un via the problem is that these kind of methods you know on both sides as an example because north korea immediately said that the sentence you know the former president who to basically a capital punishment but i think if this g. twenty summit meeting is really serious i think they should discuss one thing the growing militarization of of the world in general well what about what about the militarization of the korean lucilla's in the united states is there were twenty

three thousand israeli raid you're saying i will just be clear give you a list or south korea is very and capable of this militarization they already have tensions with japan and with the united states because they will be the ones to pay the price for a possible conflict and in europe the european allies of nato have been in the last three years forty six billion dollars more for their defense because as they say what russia did in crimea and also the ukrainian crisis has cost the european union i quote you waited more than two hundred billion dollars we mean in the terms with the sanctions absolutely together with sanctions and counter sanctions and russia spends on his defense twenty seven percent of what nato is european elway's spent on their defense that's not from russian media that's from the stockholm institute for peace research and you know if there's a clear path to a more peaceful korean pierce or if you. has been attempted has been made by the

way in the nineteen ninety s. there were some agreements made clinton administration and the leadership of north korea that was installed back then the truth of this also korean president the agreements were were never get it you know which side by the united states by the bush administration and so when they abrogated that agreement when they defused to follow you know what the source of the other of the or what they themselves of course north korea sort of back to its nuclear program oh yeah well we see that if the united states today you know actually russia has in the past few weeks seeing how the situation has deteriorated when the korean peninsula has offered that its own program well how to move forward well the korean peninsula oh i thought it oh i thought it was should say you lean on the chinese that's what you get no where well first of all the us customs of our security guarantee exactly

that you know when we hear from diem or what do you and the complicated still going on from one thousand people in the this is a nation the hostilities are legally in and the war now these are they can't they don't want to end the conflict is because as long as the conflict persists the united states can reason to believe we have not just doesn't appear to plan it was very simple north korea is a very reasonable re regime with very reasonable demands about peace with south korea the united states they want a final peace treaty with the united states to end their decades long career and more there is only an arms they want diplomatic recognition that the existing hand of exercise is a massive exercise regime change the way that the military occupation on the south korean border and massive exercise authority of government those are not huge i'm realistic demands unfortunately the us political climate the establishment the american exceptionalism foreign policy will never allow that to happen and you're. and then you answer the u.s. the u.s.

does need to stay in south korea they cannot allow reunify korea except under complete south korean domination with the chinese stone on that exactly the chinese don't want because any korea unified would merge back towards better relations with china and worse relations with japan the us needs to keep south korea as a military base containing china thirty seconds long or forty seconds right but also don't forget china which doesn't want the american thought terminal high altitude and defense missiles threatening its very limited nuclear capacity this is a rush to the ball to russia so these two elements they should also be included in this equation. twenty seconds look at this point. is not willing is not be able to move. to change its line and. they're going to change their line when the internal states deteriorates to

a point where the american foreign policy establishment will no longer be able to hold. your breath gentlemen we've run out of time many thanks to my guests here in moscow and thanks to our viewers for watching as you see you next time and remember . bustle in the dubrovnik. fix travel destinations so it must be nice to live or is it. crowds of tourists disrupt the city's economic and social life. on the celestial. son was. last seen as. a school. while the city's tried desperately not to collapse all powerful corporations collect the
