monday worldwide news headlines live from moscow from news team here a very warm welcome to you. well if lee is getting angry as it seeks support from other european countries over the ongoing crisis it's threatening now to close its ports to rescue ships interior minister claims the country is under huge pressure now all of that as the country has taken in hundreds of thousands of people who have crossed the mediterranean from africa now according to the u.n. almost eighty four thousand people have arrived at a tally imports just since the start of this year and some estimates predict the number will reach two hundred twenty thousand by the year twenty seventeen and italy 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. and with a crisis gripping italy reports have emerged that math. by

taking advantage of the refugees. traveled to the poor areas used to hidden camera to try and find out exactly what's going on. 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 when you're on the island of sicily but at night the market just something completely different and instead of selling fresh produce and fish what's being sold on the streets is hard drugs and the majority of the people selling drugs. africa that's what we've been told by one journalist francesca. we filmed in secret with him on the streets. trafficking. drugs. need

to use force. they are using. specific. to sicily has a long history of crime mainly perpetrated by the mafia what's happening now is that it's teaming up with migrants to kerri-anne criminal activities the main gang is blacks which is forcing new migrants to work for them. my my phone you know. drug use my phone they took my you know.

it's my. when did it. used. dawn in mecca refused to join black acts and its activities since then three years ago or. so the hundred spinnin. 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 only in the system 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 bills for line to origin of 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 dark wood 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 four to be prostitutes but i think. 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 do nothing seems to be able to stamp it out on one . 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 selling drugs this is a problem that seems to have no solution do you can ski altie sicily. china has ordered military vessels and jets to warn off an american warship that came within twelve nautical miles of triton island it's part of the disputed power cell island group in the 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 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 facing a new low want to trump presidency earlier i discussed this matter with artie's but our gustier 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 and i want china dictating to me as also often happens with trump things quickly change he's a businessman the chinese of certain you know they've got a lot to add to america's economy and things change they slowly became friends and

it ended up with donald trump and she jinping eating chocolate cake together i think we have. a tremendous progress in relationship with china the relationship developed. as it is she and most of it is that. we go forward to being together many times in 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 hap. and over the last month we had a series of events starting with the chinese claimed 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 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 are too high you don't be taiwan is an inseparable part of china we firmly opposed the export of arms to taiwan we stress 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 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 dire predictions then to

corporation and partnership and now over the span of a month where 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 this is part of a sparring campaign that i think is going to go on per 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 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. wiki leaks chief julian

assange just claimed liberals in the us are liberal no more he's published a collection of clips and articles all calling for his killing he's probably boycott delves deeper into the story now joins me live from london for details on this i could do so you polly so what has the wiki leaks chief been saying well yeah julian assange just clearly done a bit of work collating this list of old social media posts of so-called liberals calling for his assassination he's retreated dozens of old tweets and links to articles calling for his death and among the ways in which they call for his death there are suggestions to hang him or to kill him via a drone attack and what's interesting is this list features both ordinary people who say all sorts of stuff on twitter all the time but also if each has journalists from notable publications big media outlets and political activists take

a listen to what julian assange had to say about all of this what can i say liberals and liberals the fall in it's a battle with the worst elements of state. of censorship and. one of the oldest links that julian assange provides in this list is to an old opinion piece by the washington post written back in two thousand and ten and the author there argues that the wiki leaks publication at the time which was cable gate to had just been released that endangered the lives of u.s. citizens and undermined the u.s. is war on terror and that was why it argued that sonds needed to be assassinated from the more recent stories that he's linked to well there's an opinion piece written on a site called mediate don't call him which suggests droning songs along with the rest of london's ecuadorian embassy sort of as collateral so according to the

innocence most of these threats that he's kind of alluding to coming from media outlets and individuals that represent the left wing liberal values even though traditionally sort of hatred and vitriol and threats towards the sun have come from the right wing especially in the u.s. take a listen. to the cyber terrorist and work time security of sabotage espionage crimes against humanity should be. this is pretty simple we got special ops forces i mean the dead man can't leaks that there's got to traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states got ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm up for the death penalty want to do it illegally shoot the united states do something to stop mr song looking at right now the justice department is taking a look at that i would argue that it's closer to be hard to terrorists and then the

pentagon. well sir songes main point is that the liberals are just like that they're not as liberal minded as you might think and he's obviously carried out semitic hillis. he's delved into the twists in the news media archives in order to display these double standards as he sees them and he's had plenty of time to do this he's cooped up in london's ecuadorian embassy he's into his sixth year now and given the legal stalemate that he's in doesn't look like he's going to be leaving that embassy any time soon. thank you. we spoke to a former m i five intelligence officer sean and she believes that the end of the day the media war against the media is retaliating for hillary clinton's last in the presidential election. 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 to hark. to the democratic movement in america seems to be pursuing him actually much more vigorously than we have in the past so he's probably feeling under threat from by fee the republican establishment the democratic establishment. feared as many as seventeen people have been killed in germany after a coach crashed into a truck in bavaria and burst into flames the local police say there were forty six passengers and two drivers on the tour bus thirty one people were injured while the rest at this stage are being reported as missing it's not your clear what caused the crash we're chap on this morning on the a nine motorway in the south of the

country we're back with more of your new stories just a moment. it's. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. to caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath . but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite

different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. but. as a joining us on this monday donald trump has taken another swipe at the media by posting a mock video of a wrestling match between him and c. on it. it wants 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. trying to 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 in the meantime twitter has responded saying the president's post has not violated any of its rules c.n.n. is not the only one struggling with credibility problems at present as a labor trying to explain as they only seem to intensify when it comes to the russia 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 seen 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 n.y. times associated press but what do i see now on the 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. and trump are done on c.n.n. live on c.n.n. constantly a. rush of this for the. business ratings but honestly. it's just like. most of the you know we don't know and. john. proved 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 written acted completely no

corrections and three c.n.n. staff members resigned well you can only learn from your mistakes just don't be so shy owning up to it. well the associated press news agency recently made clarifications regarding several stories are published on russia's suppose that meddling in the us elections we've also asked them to clarify why they repeatedly run stories stating what they admitted to be false facts so far we've had no response at all to charles alltel blames an overall fall in the quality of investigative journalism sad fact of you know wife 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 urban 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. the russian foreign ministry has condemned what it calls a smear campaign against the syrian government ministries a spokeswoman marie as a 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 video still of the following days to complain this plan to be on the grand scale. videos purporting to show victims of a chemical attack suddenly started flooding social media outlets on saturday and it came not long after the white house suddenly accused the syrian government of being in preparation to use chemical weapons and syrian journalist but he believes the accusation makes no sense. to survey the amount of the sarong issued a statement denying any use of chemical weapons saying that this actually is a lone 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 the army from advancing if we're going to discuss the circumstances surrounding these attacks and it doesn't make a lot of sense for the syrian government when swimming militarily in 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 much for joining us here on r.t. international today for your monday world news coming up next on this network going on the ground. i. think i've always thought that cut us off media can.

plug into max keiser financial survival guide. looking forward to your pension account. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain. you watch has a report. revealing the truth c.n.n. in the nothing her better known is russia gave also when trump tweeted in washington melted down and what to expect from the putin trump meetings in home.

thank you again this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington washington media the media over 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. time after time said we're going underground forty seven years to the day of the falls curfew where clashes between the ira and the british army presage the british lock down of thousands of homes in belfast coming up on the show good nature bombs

and policy lined 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 run somewhere and jacqui 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 one of my new why the on picture 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 all the civil coming up it today is going underground but first what is the point of the african union is leaders gather in ethiopia will any of them express their anger at nato nation military and economic

war against that continent maybe this man you want us to agree with. or. we. would not agree with you can point me. in this room all. you. need to compensate. julius malema they're 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 and their. wealth. we reject. because it means accepting the monopoly of ownership in the economy but i hope that is. included.

we rejected this because the communism we believe in is a book but to suppression. no wonder the u.k. arguably had to destroy gadhafi albeit under the pretext of saving lives your city was an inspiration to the whoa as you grow if it takes no one seriously 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 favorite to be the next british prime minister. because of british officers norwegian farmers. united states. western involvement brought up fact most of the problems colonialism true the batteries on the west exploited their natural resources ever since and happened to continue that something i. was all for you i reach are rising up

i can still see and unemployment. rising up with perhaps. dust i 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 is over disappeared from our t.v. screens well more because also people don't want to talk about it they wish to soup it under the rug 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 gets in that way here. 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 actually a 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 religion says about as we've been learning is allow celebrates 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 or policies or to have their own economic policies that has been diminished that has been dismantled they don't have the capacity any more 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 the decades we've had clear criticism of the international monetary fund and the world bank for publishing. killing and wounding displacing millions. 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 was 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 industry some in 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 be 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 can earn and send remittances so their families and in the end. they get trapped on indebtedness 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 to rich countries a rich country or countries playing. also at 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 sent in. 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 big hypocrisy that's why refugees are 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. capital can go anywhere that it once business sector the business us can go anywhere invests extract resources impoverish the local population but those who are suffering from the consequence of that are not welcome here dr gray square i 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 turned all blue surveillance expert and web developer somdev anima joins me now via skype from his wallet in the netherlands sounded like so much for going back on the show that edward snowden granted asylum by russia is claiming that the ransomware attack 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 she ever brokers which is a sort of. black cats hacker group go to its hold on. i'm tired collection of and sorry tools and then released them on to the web and this was subsequently responded to one crime or we had 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 level and danish shipping from musk surprise that these companies i mean we were all expecting it to be north korea russian hackers why when they he's got but he's 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 him bugs yes i mean there 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 euros so

so 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 should remember is that the cia has this tool separate from the group within the cia. 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 as well we don't know for certain whether it comes from from the russian not from the american sort from north korea or anywhere else simply because these tools exist to allow you to to sort of feed a pretty attack very strong. on what you know of another group britain's defense secretary said michael phelan albeit of 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 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 the people i was here if you don't use that. to inspect the source code and verify. so they should be doing that instead of you know let's just bomb the hackers because i mean. sure

that this sound but that's not a good solution to the problem and it's not going to make sense for that event of a thank you after the break time the most commonly known in the english language we speak to a leading neuroscientist about his groundbreaking research on the brain and free will and space the final front page we seek out the undiscovered stories that have been eclipsed by the mainstream in this week's very. simple coming up in part two of going underground. seemed wrong. but. just don't hold. me. to shape out. active. and engaged equals betrayal.

a time machine unlocks the ability for the human brain to comprehend time and space dean will go to going on the go before we get to our brain is a time machine just tell me how universal cultures attitudes to time well time since the dawn of man has really been a fundamental problem that humans have faced in that makes this very unique so humans are unique i think one thing that separates us from other animals and their 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 sport that theory is that when you and i talk about time we often use spatial metaphor and say this 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 so in 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 liz i'm just describing said well that is because that's very different views of so now this is a much deeper philosophical question. 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 is 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 lived in 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 up so you know this is occurring with the . the cells over the ori within the nuclei of you know and so so the circadian 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 and zero are contracts if that's affecting the security rhythm you know that has absolutely. health consequences i think a 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 the reason why capitalism is so successful the short term fight. what it goes 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 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 whether 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 of reeks of the establishment in a major speech still that people talk about social media with a sick feeling is that the day the british labor government lost the u.k. national health service act dating universal health all in britain. revealing the truth c.n.n. in the nothing better known as russia gate also when trump tweeted in washington melted down and what to expect from the putin trump meetings.

one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with. why did it come from and as we've seen with many of these attacks when you've mentioned one across 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 to the wonderful world of blood donation i come here every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive in. my body gets and support is that i cannot produce itself around the world giving blood is seen as a symbol of generosity and does this because it helps people that's one of the side of. this. put the money on your

car immediately. half of all plasma based drugs today come from private companies and are produced from paid plasma as well. and. one of the risks of paid donation. then is proof that the frequency of pathology is much higher paid. if i was. over two years old. and who runs the blood business.

we have an exclusive report from the italian ports of palermo where migrants are being forced to work for local mafia gangs parts of the country is under enormous pressure over the migrant crisis. china signs ships and jets to warn off for us to strong that sailed close to disputed territory in the south china sea raising concerns relations between the countries are heading to a new low. wiki leaks founder julian assange says american liberals are liberal no more thoughts as he publishes clips and articles of people calling for his assassination.

it's two o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all to international live from austin to head with me. welcome to the program. italy is getting angry as it seeks support from other european countries over the migrant crisis it's threatening to close its ports to rescue ships in. the countries under huge pressure that the country's taken in hundreds of thousands of people who cross the mediterranean from according to the u.n. almost eighty four thousand people have arrived. since the start of the as some estimates predict the number will reach two hundred twenty thousand by the end of twenty seven. 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. but the crisis gripping italy reports of an. increase in their influence and reporters.

are taking advantage of the refugees. travel to the port and. to find out exactly what's happening. just behind me is where the famous. takes place. every day 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 when you're on the island of sicily but at night the market turns into something completely different and instead of selling fresh produce and fish. in the streets. drugs and the majority of the people selling their drugs on migrants from africa that's what. we filmed in secret on the streets here there is. very. trafficking every. need

to use. drugs. they are using my. specific. ways. to ship it. to black cats sicily has a long history of crime mainly perpetrated by the mafia what's happening now is that it's teaming up with migrants to carry out criminal activities the main migrant gang is black acts which is forcing new migrants to work for them. for. life. my my for you know. my phone to my glass you know.

it's my. form. used. don't in mecca refused to join black acts and its activities. spinning me. to do so how can i find myself selling drugs is not the only way many my current a forced to make money we've been told that many young people are being used for trafficking and prostitution here only. 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 bills for line to origin selling 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 forced into this dark wood is the lack of help the survey to pull teeth and 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 miners are using to 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. guns because where there is a. kind of crime against. could be. there have been many investigations into the problem 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 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 is removed from the streets for prostitution or for selling drugs this is a problem that seems to have no solution chill it even ski otty sicily. china has ordered military vessels in just to warn off an american warship that came within twelve nautical miles of triton island is part of the disputed parcel island group in the south china sea which china considers its territory 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 freedom of navigation but it comes as u.s. tzschirner relations face a new low and the donald trump's presidency my colleague discussed the matter with our. 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 also often happens with trump things quickly change 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 it 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 pounds until now now the media is saying the honeymoon is over but 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 and he does like selling guns he sold or rather they're planning a deal to sell one point four billion dollars. as with of arms to taiwan which is which china claims or you know says that it's part of china and that certainly the chinese don't are too high you don't be taiwan is an inseparable part of china and we firmly opposed the export of arms to taiwan and we stress 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 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 coast it's gone from the campaign and dire predictions then to corporation and

partnership and now over the span of a month where 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 this is part of a sparring campaign that i think is going to go on for a 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. but least fifty billion

astonishes claim liberals in the us a liberal no more has published a collection of clips and articles all calling for his planning autons poly point into the story. julian assange has clearly done a bit of work collaborating this list of old social media posts so-called liberals calling for his assassination he's retreated dozens of old tweets and links to articles calling for his death and among the ways in which they call for his death there are suggestions to hang him or to kill him via a drone attack and what's interesting is this list features both ordinary people who say all sorts of stuff on twitter all the time but also it features journalists from notable publications big media outlets and political activists take a listen to what julian a son she had to say about all of this. what can i say liberals and

liberals the bad with the worst elements of state. censorship and one of the oldest links he provides that is to an opinion piece in the washington times dating back to two thousand and ten the author in that article argues that the wiki leaks publication diplomatic cables which had just taken place that endangered the lives of u.s. citizens and undermined the war on terror from the more recent stories that he's linked to well there's an opinion piece written on a site called mediate don't call him which suggests droning a songs along with the rest of london's ecuadorian embassy sort of as collateral so according to the innocence most of these threats that he's kind of alluding to a coming from media outlets and individuals that represent the left wing liberal values even though traditionally sort of hatred and vitriol and threats towards the

sun have come from the right wing especially in the u.s. take a listen. to cyber terrorism and war time he's guilty of sabotage espionage against humanity should be to do this is pretty simple we got special ops forces i mean the dead man can't leaks that this guy just a traitor a treasonous and he has broken every law the united states got ought to be and i'm not for the death penalty so if i'm not for the death penalty want to do it illegally should the united states do something to stop mr song which we're looking at right now the justice department is taking a look at that i would argue that it's closer to being the high tech terrorist and then the pentagon papers songes main point is that the liberals are just like that they're not as liberal minded as you might think and he's obviously carried out some meticulous research. delved into the twists in the news media.

in order to display these double standards as he sees them and he's had plenty of time to do this he's cooped up in london's ecuadorian embassy he's into his sixth year now and given the legal stalemate that he's in doesn't look like he's going to be leaving that embassy any time soon. five intelligence officers. retaliating for hillary clinton's last presidential election. highlighting and i think is that rather than the republicans in america who have always been calling for this now it will say 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 and despite other evidence coming out that it was in fact a leak not to hark. to the democratic movement in america it seems to be pursuing him actually much more vigorously than they have in the past so he's probably

feeling under threat from dicey the republican establishment and the democratic establishment. and we've got more stories for you here on out international just after this break.

here we go here you. can't leave the room during the you get it out of the old well. according to josh. for the raw. data. the syrian foreign ministry has had time out as a report by the un's weapons watchdog into a deadly chemical attack in april it says the investigation was inappropriate and no experts had ever been sent to the scene the russian foreign ministry condemned what it called a smear campaign against the syrian government the ministry spokeswoman marie is a heart of a was referring to videos circulating online claiming to show the of an attack

apparently 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 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 leaves the accusation makes no sense to survey the commanding officer on the issued a statement denying any use of chemical weapons saying that this actually is a well known 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 similar circumstances surrounding these attacks but it doesn't make

a lot of sense for the syrian government transmitting milltown the achieving actually substantial most three games or more than one from that it would do something that would enable the rebels to benefit from international support which would actually forestall me to bring its operations into a complete halt. donald trump's take another swipe at the media by posting a mock video of a wrestling match between him and c.n.n. . it was. done through it with the own through has 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 to fraud news c.n.n. . the fake media tried to stop us from going to the white house but i'm proud they're not was.

the fact that the press has destroyed themselves because they went too far far c.n.n. responded with its own tweet kissing the president of juvenile behavior and of encouraging violence against reporters in the meantime to has responded to the president's post hasn't violated any of its rules. well c.n.n. is not the only one struggling with credibility problems at present and as cohen explains they don't 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 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 times article got too carried away scroll down correction he says man 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 n.y. 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 right most of those folks with. this ratings but honestly 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 and three c.n.n. staff members resigned well you can only learn from your mistakes just don't be so shy owning up to it. it is so stated press news agency recently made clarifications

regarding several stories that published on russia's suppose it meddling in the us elections we've also asked him to clarify why they repeatedly run stories stating what they admitted to be false facts we've had no response so far but author charles hotel blames an overall for all in the quality of investigative journalism . sad fact of you know wife 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 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 to c.n.n. the same network is complaining about a cartoon i mean give me a break. it seems as though the snow stopping the german footballing machine the world cup holders have now added the confederations cup to that trophy cabinet off to sing of chile in the final sunday's game in st petersburg so one go to general seized on a mistake by the chilean defense right side the pulps spots a number of decent chances to just couldn't get back into the game earlier in the day portugal beat mexico two one the time to take third place in the top there was a challenge. the march to the red cards. covering the championship i think back at the best moments of our coverage have

also policing some of those who played a special part in the pursuit of this. wall . street life. like my. comes i like the so i. could. follow. suit you eat i really want to focus on the post because we were such good fun when last month we are 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 to talk about fans the football cultural aspects even the food is very good she can say.

twenty first century technology. the last election of. the snap. oh. this is making state one of the most famous in the world rican say wait. for the rice truck over to our rights to see the kid says. the fish right here in the back from the sky.

it's a long haul. but we really have to go for me. to come here is. to come back and i will come back. honestly expect you were told to keep hearing the race they're everywhere. we spoke from the. groups in the poll just. you have to look at things in context all they're a group. in virtually every european country yes. to the sports

i've seen. squares like this one. germany. i mean. the whole narrative about russia. is around fifty to one hundred eighty it's. themselves. a. very very very strong. you wouldn't. leave it for you to do have no ax to grind with any russian vietnamese american british or french and. we. russia. they were still. friendly. we will come back for more. makes. the

only thing really left for us to decide is he gets to keep the bulldogs fight the signatures to spank him i called up to see now at the base how much i could get. you can help with you all so so generous i'll tell you what stand will be able to if you will present just to see before the committee but definitely in the running for the ball at least one side of the song genuinely and also you thank you for involved to make me want to be able to do the. next you. cross told digs deep into the end of the video of a c.n.n. contributor calling it's russia coverage. one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber crime is. who did it why did it come from and as we've seen with many of these

attacks when you've mentioned one across the recent one from 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 case where everything. possible in the dubrovnik in venice are fixed travel destinations so it must be nice to live or is it. crowds of tourists disrupt the city's economic and social life. for this on the smash was such a traditional story some not. while

the city's tried desperately to collapse all powerful corporations collect the profit of. the. company. as a tourist photo. identity. hello and welcome across as we consider them people of el revealing the truth c.n.n. in the nothing burger better known is russia gate also when trump tweeted in

washington melted down and what to expect from the meeting in. 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 babied she's a political analyst we spoke nick international. rules 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 tweet slipping would be talking about a little bit more 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 got this and my impression is that. you know the boss us in the mainstream media decided to push for higher quality. of life this is the problem so for example. who is extremely anti russian when he was enraged when he read boss speed he's an academic exactly an academic you know at the time think tank in prague which says that brush is a threat what he read on boss be a bit crushed but 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 russian billionaires suddenly had taken and caught something so. 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 mushy guess and say it was getting a little out of hand but these people did really the origins of don't you know it seems to me that. the situation in western countries when it comes

news and media is that the news does about the media and i think this is this is a danger here because we're not talking about fox i mean if you look at c.n.n. in i mean they have they haven't talked about news for a long long time and it's really surprising when you see it now but it is kind of reached some kind of what do you think. now with the conflict between the white house that can put the news station in the news networks first of all it shows it discredits them those don't know what they are that they are really propaganda outlets and they show that this is the first time they have been doing this let's go back to two thousand and two two thousand and three the iraq war preparations for iraq war what did see and say back then and there was about chemical and nuclear weapons in iraq about weapon. of mass destruction of what years before that so every few years. the major news channels behave similarly it's not it's nothing

new nothing about make the differences the difference is people like i think i 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 votes because there weren't there wasn't as a media space but 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 and perspective but we also have news outlets like fox which are the opposite side drawn by the koch brothers. right domestically so 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 to 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 rubberneck and she watches you're passing by it but it seems to me. if we look at the president and we look at the media they're describing themselves these are all self-inflicted wounds on all sides ok the problem just created in the institutions you know the tuition over america was discredited by the election the terrible way because we never had such a situation when the press will be still but you know we never had the acting president not just support the kind of the office party but also bluster and you know the kind of that all the other party. you know when they want to improve the quality of the largest russia there is

a contradiction because when they reach real high quality they're actually going to tell the truth of all ages facts first russia did not forcibly occupy a great 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 really good pan third and mr ross. is facing some real terrorists who want to subvert democrats more real terrorists so when they actually are. operating with a more or less quality of they're going to review these three facts i think the american for them to go to zero zero we're going to hear victor in 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 real stories out there in the mainstream media minus sparks to some

degree because they do push it but the ignore all about there's a lot of very very burning important burning questions about how the distribution 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 the c.n.n. and. the corporations because never in their life with the bosses at c.n.n. and less than a b. c. and b. c b c b s and so forth go to war with the. administration without the deeps they knew they knew that i didn't have to they have a little bit making of this but serious without the backing of the intelligence community without the backing of the american political establishment and it's now . not just that democrats here mentioned the koch brothers throughout the election

west here called brothers to the town in fact in fact some point one of the brothers said. he would prefer victory by democratic and their victory and we see that. congress in the senate and the house where a number of republican congressmen and senators know do. we see mccain going around the world around the world going to australia and. really just parroting the president in the white house and this is a station that is going to continue as long as this president as long as though he's going to be in the white house they are not going to start i agree with you that the we 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 brothers i mean you don't have to pay it you have to bribe willingly do it 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 leaves no of either accountable not a most deep state officials that you have been trying to get out right you know it is that really is a phenomenon and. at the other hand the liberal media gets all upset when the other side is anonymous officials leaked leaking information and stories out. let's review the crumbling russia gay narrative in that 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 a senior at russian intelligence officers was largely not true in the main in the main archer 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 but let me even wage the former director of national intelligence officer testified under oath to senator al franken that has been repeated over and over on who is to program ok you know if 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 and seasons but. we've also we've also had. the repeated scandals at c.n.n. with editors being fired trying to draw business connections between russia and trump campaign that was song 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 i 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 guess it was 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 it have 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 a bunch he just target the individual media people like. crazy or call him what's her name. ok so 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 to take me to 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 ok i'm going to ensure you in these situations of the president assured me 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 arctic.

ice you want to see i'm still at the same time. who's here you know. we might need to sit here with a lot of old yet completed movies. points to the. magnificent. someplace cool to see my point. save me save us from people who read in some friendly and i might the foreign feel welcome in russia it's interesting. because this was a very enjoyable place to be a very friendly pay poll but my son felt. like one let me be some some basic. punch. line here were very bad that i'm not here to steal.

look there on the cheek. let's. write. to us he said if you ever do. this. this is what we don't understand how we are in such. a. similar. if. not they got.

to the place story you have to see. 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 the united states meeting the president of the russian federation something that trump i think wanted to do and 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 are the expectations are so low so low do you know there is nowhere to go that's their bottom and it's interesting why and when this leak happened the tramp apparently wanting. sort of more of the form of meeting 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 a more formal meeting with out over the edge you receive state was put in the. according to all these mainstream media outlets and according to the terms were serious in the american political establishment who has been sort of supporting his campaign where the all these are substantially that completely. and in the end and so that 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 eighty shows the promoter of an anonymous source in the me is going 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 security 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 yeah 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 for the donald he's you know when will exist there's nothing policy wise going to be decided at 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 fiction all imaginations of lineage what 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 it was immediately attacked and police to our door and your logic by the mainstream media i mean he met with a lover and the mainstream media. all of a revealing american secrets the log off in the prose 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 are meeting with all of these imperialists well for many years the brass tried to facilitate the summits you know remember how the press was enthusiastic about rag meat and were going to go into a cave if you know the mainstream press is doing everything to do basically anything they didn't want to do is going to wreck if 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 or this was a wonderful wonderful kind of what is he not going to see it because it was a big league meeting and you know that's about it are you jim if you're going to switch gears here is that we trump has been making a lot of noise about north korea here what. for me there is no and there are no good options here mark winds trump pushing this yeah i think this is trump

trying to walk 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 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. the point is that the u.s. snuck in in the middle making the south koreans pay for it to get what in the south koreans are paid for the trouble wanting to renegotiate trade deals with south korea trump sending a fleet to protect 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 where the president in the oval office meeting it looked like to the new president of korea was kind of bending towards from sway dba explain to our audience because western audiences are never told the following what do the north koreans want well i mean just recently the south korean brass revealed they're going president you know the woman who just had to quit as president. under her and this is a nation or the north korean leader kim jong un will supplant i am no friend of kim

jong un what 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 growth. 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 rape your sorry i will just be clear give you a list or south korea is very are incapable of this miniaturization 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. also you mean in the trains with the sanctions absolutely together with sanction and counter sanctions and russia spending is defense twenty seven percent of what nato with european allies spend 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 peirce or it 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 the source korean president the agreements were were never get it you know which side by the united states by the bush administration and so when the abrogated that agreement when the refused to follow you know what the their source or the other of the or what they themselves of course north korea sort of back to its nuclear program. we

see that if the united states today you know actually russia has in the past few weeks seeing how the situation has deteriorated on the korean peninsula has offered that its own program how to move forward when the korean peninsula oh i thought it all i thought it was should say you lean on the chinese that's what you get where well first of all the u.s. customs of our it security guarantee exactly very you know when we hear from diem or what are you and the complicated still going on from one thousand people in the this nation the hostilities really to lean and the war now these are the can't they don't want to end the conflict is because as long as the conflict persists the united states has a reason to believe we have not just doesn't appear to plan it was very simple north korea is a very reasonable read 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 the decades long career more

there's only an arms they want diplomatic recognition that. existing exercise is a massive exercise right do you think the way to the end to military occupation on the south korean border and massive exercise authority in government those are not huge on realistic demands unfortunately the us political climate the establishment the american exceptionalism foreign policy will never allow that to happen and you're right the u.s. the u.s. does need to stay in south korea they cannot allow reunify korea except under complete south korean domination because the chinese don't they on that savage chinese don't want because any korea unified merge back towards better relations with china and worse relations with japan the u.s. needs to keep south korea as a military base containing china forty seconds long or forty seconds right but also china which doesn't what the american thought terminal high altitude and defense

missiles threatening its very limited nuclear capacity this is a rush to. russia so these two elements they should also be included in this equation. twenty seconds look at this point states as mark said is not willing to is not be able to move washington is not going to change its line and the you know they're going to change their line when the internal situation in the united 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 my guess he remarks can win thanks to our viewers for watching us do not you see you next time and remember. bustling the dubrovnik in venice are all fixed travel destinations so it must be
