almost eighty four thousand people have arrived at the start of the a some estimates predict the number will jump to two hundred twenty thousand by the end of twenty seventeen calls to its neighbors to help france has been used to hunt down those trying to slip across the border between the countries. with the migrant crisis gripping into me reports are emerging that might have been creasing their influence in this in court by taking advantage of refugees. travel to the port to hidden cameras in some areas to find out exactly what's happening. just behind me is where the famous sicilian market ballo 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 here when you're on the island of sicily but at night the market turns into something completely different and instead of selling fresh
10:05 am
produce and fish what's being sold on the streets big drugs and the majority of the people selling their drugs on my africa. that's what we've been told by one journalist by chance because. we film in secrets with him on the streets here there is a very powerful trafficking every. kind of drugs system is good need to use somebody for so the odds in this case and the spirit they are using my hands specifically. because there is. a black cat cicely 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 end criminal activities the main
10:06 am
migrant gang is black acts which is forcing new migrants to work for them. for. life. my for. my for the. one. for. use. don't make refused to do in black packs activities used. to be. in the. billion me. to do. selling drugs is not the only way many foods to make money if we just head down
10:07 am
this main street here literally just off this main street is where many of the girls to keep the line cheery and origen selling their bodies knowing it's off to know it's there have been many investigations into the procul surrounding drugs as well as child prostitution but regardless of what the italian authorities do nothing seems to be able to stamp it out 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 selling drugs this is a problem that seems to. be sicily. claims from washington that syrian government is preparing to use chemical weapons damascus says the us is refusing to investigate the previous such incident
10:08 am
according to syria's foreign ministry washington oppose sending international experts to consign its link to a chemical attack took place and the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons carried out a remote investigation and concluded that sarin gas. did not assign blame for the attack but the u.s. . pointed the finger at damascus a syrian military based history. in for him. is this satisfied with the results and the findings of the the c.w. probe into the alleged chemical weapons use in check on an airport this year the syrian government said most of the investigation in turkey through the help of turkish mediators which according to syrian government compromises the integrity of that report taking into consideration that turkey has been hostile towards the syrian government and has actually made every effort possible to topple the government of president bashar al assad the syrian officials also said that they
10:09 am
have communicated repeatedly with the c.w. and. the provision of chemical weapons have told the syrian government that they are able to listen is able to visit the country carry out their investigation first hand and later on became dependent on samples to live or to them in turkey also testimonies of. who went to them. despite the fact that the syrian government sent samples of its own gathered collected from ford and had the range for eyewitness accounts. to meet actually with investigators from the c.w. in damascus but according to the syrian government these samples and these testimonies were not reflected in the final. report that was published by the oversea w. also the other important issue that was raised by damascus that all the chemical weapons syria used to have were destroyed under the supervision of the international organization and they were destroyed abroad to prevent any future
10:10 am
claims that syria has kept part of these weapons inside syria churches for future use and the last actually point. is that if the united states decide after an act of aggression against damascus it should not only consider the reaction of the. ask this but also on the repercussions that could happen from all the reactions from ours in syria including russia and all ours and i think he was referring to iran and the context meanwhile russia's foreign ministry has slammed what it calls a social media campaign aimed at smearing the syrian government spokeswoman marie a condemned video circulating online claiming to show the aftermath of another suppose it's chemical weapons attack by damascus. right but more stores.
10:11 am
in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around currency corporations run washington the washington post media the media. voters elect the businessman to run this country business equals. boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done for. the future we don't need. everyone in the world to get your ear to. get it out of the old the old. the old according.
10:12 am
for the raw. data. welcome back to the private place and unconfirmed story about the russians doing something bad then issue a correction if it turns out to be fake a patent being said by some mainstream media giants the associated press issuing four such corrections recently it explains. if only it were a fact that russia hacked the us 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 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
10:13 am
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 and a.p. subscribers 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.
10:14 am
the morning constantly in. russia this from. this ratings but honestly thing. 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 that published on russia's suppose it meddling in the us elections we've also asked them to clarify why they repeated
10:15 am
stories stating what they admitted to be false facts and had no response so far less discuss this with john kiriakou former cia analyst and whistleblower john welcome to the program now a.p. c.n.n. the new york times they've all been caught making mistakes in their reports on russia why in your opinion there does there appear to be such sloppiness i suppose we can call it that when it comes to russia coverage. i think frankly that it's a lot of reasons first of all we have this this is untenable twenty four hour news we're every news network every newspaper every news website feels compelled to produce something new constantly over the course of twenty four hours so the competition is vicious secondly i think that most of the news outlets in the united states have taken a political position whether it's pro trial or if you try and the russian story
10:16 am
fits into a lot of those narratives now i for one have said from the very beginning of this that if we're going to accuse the russian government took battling in our internal affairs we've got to be able to present proof to the american people that proof has not been forthcoming. but for a lot of people here in the united states they don't really need to prove they just need the new york times and the new york times these associated press know there's a as you pointed out frequently rely on one unconfirmed source before they run with a story that's interesting you say that because often you know the lack of proof doesn't impact on the people's consciences does it but there is an impact nevertheless and we've looked at some recent polls that show us that the u.s. view is a growing increasingly with russia narrative so why in your opinion are news channels pushing this so hard still. because it fits that in teatro
10:17 am
story line that they want to run with you whether we like it or not here in the united states our news has become politicized everybody takes a position there's almost no such thing anymore as unbiased news here and so if if the russian story or perpetuating the russian story helps these news organizations to bring down this president then that's what they're doing so it's about ratings though isn't it john i mean cns c.n.n. has been embroiled. in a scandal over a fake trump russia story. how likely is it that the channel will change or tone down its coverage after that well i think that there will probably be a temporary toning down but you're exactly right this is about ratings and also don't forget that every one of these networks is owned by a huge multinational corporation and the goal of those corporations is very simply
10:18 am
to make money the only really the only way they make money is through higher and higher ratings so where there may be a temporary easing of some of the rhetoric that we see at least on c.n.n. i think that that is really only going to be temporary now with your expertise as a former cia analyst how likely is it that russian hackers played a role in security breaches that being blamed for. i think it's probably very likely but there is no proof that they had been directed by the russian government we see halfords all the time whether they're russian or chinese or it's really your romanian or french or any other nationality the thing is is that the russian government has been accused of meddling in the election and we've just not seen any any proof yet now if there were official interference there would be an
10:19 am
electronic trail and certainly we have some of the world's leading experts on those issues at the national security agency so if there is proof if there is an electronic trail then show us so we can all come to a national consensus so far nobody has done something we've all been waiting for is that hard evidence from a say analyst and whistleblower john kerry thanks for joining us my pleasure. and football now is jimmy prove once again to be the kings of the failed winning the twenty seventeen confederations cup i'm handing over to st petersburg has a round up of this year's tournament. and.
10:20 am
another beautiful sunny day here in st petersburg welcome to our teams continue coverage of the twenty seventeen confederations cup which up to sixty munchies in sixty days saw germany lifting the trophy courtesy of a warm no win over chile now i know you're thinking where howard stern cullimore gone he was here throughout the competition with me he has now sadly i know together our departed back to england but before he went he took time for a chat with me. about his russian twenty seventeen experience. let's just through this one last time before you head back off to england what are the highlights for you lots of different things to talk about fans the football cultural aspects even the food is very good and she can say 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 skirts or come clear the chances of
10:21 am
a defeat say going on the slate you do you expect you are told you we keep hearing the racist hooligans they're everywhere looking where are they up in everywhere i've been on tubes in taxis and you bruce and you know the biggest thing you can ever do is a tourist just smile at people i haven't had anybody look at me as if i'm the devil incarnate i haven't had anybody say anything employed never mind rice east i haven't seen any broadcasters. why not because there's no reason to always be suspicious of this country say not about that contribute a book a soul is regular everyday people that want to get all this politics and the one thing i'm looking forward to wow fillet from imported batboy art say to come back and see all of the city's surroundings some are right katherine perk rushed off the off not see not being to open to moscow before the first trip to some place but good deal dishing a few more presenters to see me for the upcoming season and you are definitely in the running of the list and say about
10:22 am
a fantastic song genuinely and off say thank you for inviting me to you know she might be able to do this all again at the world cup next year. for someone else who was working with us throughout the competition artie skate partition got stan's perspective you worked in a different capacity different locations were in found zones were at the stadium what were your highlights of the competition i say there are a couple of them but most of them are actually from the fans themselves i mean after. but they will say it's a festival of football don't they it's was about how the fans completely light up the tournament it doesn't matter how good the infrastructure is or the organization though of course obviously that helps as well as the security it's the people themselves and i think it was on both sides so you have the foreign fans coming in who are many of them coming in and enjoy experiencing and enjoying russia for the first time and also the russian fans that really kind of got into it as well and also not only supporting russia but also the the other teams that were taking part we saw the face painting that have all kind of different sort of flags painted on
10:23 am
their faces and really getting involved and the whole feeling of that kind of international mix of everybody being very friendly getting on and have a good time i think that really made me something that repeatedly said is that the world cup is going to be this competition. at least the atmosphere is going to be ramped up going to be so merely more tourists and traveling fans coming in is russia ready where does the road to twenty going to begin and how does it look to be the confederations cup as the warm up as the traditional curtain raiser for the world cup if you think that there were eight teams taking part they're going to be four times as many next time around when it comes to the world cup then you're going to have effectively four times the fun but also four times the organization is necessary i mean we've been looking ahead in how the stadium the infrastructure a doing of there still ahead of shared goals so that's great we've also after many delays as we know about this impeach spec stadium and the big budget that's finally finished and that was a that was a fantastic a read and was in it for the for the opening on the closing for the confederations cup also in terms of where the infrastructure lies across the main russian cities
10:24 am
as well the way that the stadium are working the way that you've got an interconnected system like for instance in some petersburg here with the trains the planes all the all the metros all the passes and the way that you can pass through the city very easily the cheap taxes everything else in the fact that everybody seems to be making an effort to speak a lot of english everybody was saying that they can speak more than one language which is great for the fans so it all bodes well for a really good tournament next year and has proved a surprise to lots of people in the present want to see a great experience but also i would say for us guys. the media i mean the chance to travel around look at these cities we found and i did as we went around the four different ones for this competition we met fans we met celebrities and we just couldn't help ourselves taking a few autographs along the way. we are we've reached the end of all our all the sea of our confederations cup twenty seventeen previews we went first st petersburg and it was on. to moscow to remember when this
10:25 am
for boardin of a single name on it along the way with politicians that sportspeople. even tax a choice of song to do an emotional journey so we got all those signatures and i see that this just warms the space left on the ball and i really believe this is for i want to say it's been a great pleasure working with. your really well respected highly successful premier league striker i've got a pen here i would consider it a great honor if you could just hold the ball while i sign an. hour we have had fun and i hope you've enjoyed it being with us along the way the football may have finished but st petersburg still st petersburg just check out this view as we wish you good bye for this hour but hope to see you again very shortly.
10:26 am
well over. what. revealing the truth c.n.n. in the nothing her better known is russia gate also when trump tweeted in washington melted down and what to expect from the putin meetings in homburg.
10:27 am
in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around currency corporations run washington washington controls the media the media control over the voters elected businessmen 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. i'm not sure townsend we're going underground forty seven years to the day of the

10:29 am
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 us to agree with. we. would not agree with your point me. one and. i we. need a company from. 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 competitors because it means
10:30 am
accepting the monopoly of ownership in the economy by competitive companies included. we rejected this because the communism we believe in is a book but. 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 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 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 true the paraphrase and the west exploited their natural resources ever since and happy to continue that something i
10:31 am
said i. was all for you 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 how mcmillen the winds of change may soon be allowed to blow across africa. but back to today over eighty thousand people have but 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 get
10:32 am
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 isn't it which all we hear. 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 policy 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
10:33 am
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 celebration there 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 anymore to do to run their own economy because policies the created 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
10:34 am
a decades we've had clear criticism of the international monetary fund and 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 how 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
10:35 am
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 own the 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. realize i was by the brics.
10:36 am
what would you say. or say pretty much what beings do. patients. the government here would be thousands in britain. weapons into the countries differ from what you think of that excuse that's. that. people fleeing war. funded. by. not welcome here so it's the kind of situation on the where the. cops. can't go anywhere. extra. involved. but they are suffering from the.

well we. and 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 was god's advertising ages ago be a little and danish shipping from musk surprise that these companies i mean we were all expecting it to be north korea or russian hackers why they these companies blaming the u.s. national security agency you know i mean i was joking about this as well. i don't know why why did you complain to us. but yes i mean people and. it's you know it's not only you know just complete human attention but also i believe that well i mean the propaganda of the largest harvey you know world john. container terminal here in america. the pension
10:39 am
computer as well and you know this is costing millions of pounds of damage so i would expect some more. you know point you imagine that you know you're waiting for russia to be let into north korea now i think that's a very good point and one thing you should remember is that the cia has to use to separate from the group we believe that it is specifically designed to make some attacks like that coming from somewhere else so this would disperse released through. collection so that's you know it. was well we don't see it and where it's come from the russian from the american sort from north korea would be well suited because these tools exist to pull out to. attack. on what you know of another group britain's defense secretary said

. fully appreciate that. 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 to sport that theory is that when you and i talk about time we often use spatial metaphor and say we'll 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
10:51 am
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 eternal is i'm just describing said will that is because that 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
10:52 am
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
10:53 am
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 sick avian 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 of clocks on our risks our 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 in that because we want is a sick a good 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
10:54 am
zeros contracts would. reduce everything up so you know this is occurring with these. the cells over the 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 their 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 we're capitalism so successful the short term fight. when it goes
10:55 am
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 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
10:56 am
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 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
10:57 am
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 there 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 called on why she said the u.k. bottom it reeks of the establishment and in a maiden speech jill that you talk about social media will feel with a sick feeling is to the day that a british labor government boss the u.k. national health service act dating universal health all in britain.

china's leadership paying is in moscow for a two day official visit it comes amid beijing strained relations with washington with china sending warships and jets to warn off a u.s. destroyer near a disputed south china sea island. we have an exclusive report from the italian port of palermo where migrants are being forced to work for local mafia gangs that size the country is under enormous pressure over the migrant crisis. syria's foreign ministry says the u.s. oppose sending international experts to investigate a deadly chemical attack that was blamed by washington on damascus.
11:01 am
it's six o'clock here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international live from a studio here with me in india today welcome to the program. china's jinping is in moscow for a two day official visit he's set to meet president vladimir putin later on monday it's known that one of the topics to be discussed will be the international tensions over north korea and the talks come at a volatile period in u.s. china time says explains. on the agenda obviously economics finance contracts ten billion worth of deals we're told but they'll also be more pressing geo political matters including north korea and its alleged pursuit of
11:02 am
nuclear weapons but also south korea and america's plans to station on the peninsula elements of its missile shield which neither russia nor china like very much they say that the system conceived far too much into russian and into chinese territory of xi jinping visit to russia may also be a message china and the united states increasingly at odds that there was a brief spell where the two enjoyed good relations they made deals met talked and even ate chocolate cake together the honeymoon says the press is over she called donald trump today to tell him that relations between the united states and china will be worsening there were a number of negative factors chinese warships and jets were recently sent out to confront an american warship that china says got too close to its territory we're
11:03 am
talking about disputed islands in the south china sea which china claims as its own but the united states says that it's free to move around in the area according to international law also the united states threatening chinese banks with sanctions because of their dealings with with north korea that the united states labeling china as one of the worst human trafficking offenders in the world beijing took offense with that the and what really put the nail in the coffin was donald trump announcing one point four billion dollars worth of deals with taiwan which china views as a renegade province so certainly no telling how far things will escalate and there's no predicting donald trump. they had veterans today jim dean believes the dispute in the south china sea is going to remain a vital part of u.s. china relations with washington this is part of
11:04 am
a story campaign that i think is going to go on for quite a while this this this or who has sovereignty over the south china sea is going to be with us for years it really doesn't to all be a divided 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 or an earnings importing so wall range. found in this area it wants to a claim to it and of course the u.s. is basically saying we will we will challenge the. italy is getting angry as it seeks support from other european countries over the migrant crisis is threatening to close its ports to rescue ships the interior minister claims the country is under huge pressure that's as the country's taken and hundreds of
11:05 am
thousands of people have crossed the mediterranean from africa according to the u.n. almost eighty four thousand people have arrived at arrived at italian point since the start of the as some estimates predict the number will jump to two hundred twenty thousand by the end of twenty seventeen while they see calls on neighbors to help france even use drones and dogs to hunt down those trying to slip across the border between the countries with the migrant crisis gripping it's only reports emerging that matthew counties have been increasing their influence and this is an important polemic by taking advantage of refugees. bensky travel to the ports and used a hidden camera in some areas to find out exactly what's happening. 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
11:06 am
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. in the streets. and the majority of the people selling drugs. africa that's what we've been told. we filmed in secret with him on the streets. trafficking. drugs. need to use. drugs. they are using. specific. attacks to sicily has a history of crime mainly perpetrated by the mafia what's happening now is that
11:07 am
it's teaming up with migrants to kerri-anne criminal activities the main gang blacks which is forcing new migrants to work for them. to. use. don't refuse to join black acts and its activities.
11:08 am
selling drugs is not the only way many forced to make money if we just head down this main street literally main street is where many of the. origin of selling. joints often they have been many investigations surrounding drugs. prostitution regardless of what we. do nothing seems to be able to stamp it out one of the reasons is because there is a constant source of migrants who willing to take the place of anybody who is removed from the streets. selling drugs this is a problem that seems to have. a. man is suspected of having killed an elderly couple in austria allegedly motivated
11:09 am
by his hatred of the country's far right freedom party. reports. an eighty five year old woman and an eighty seven year old man were killed in their own home there was that an attempt made to burn their bodies and burn the house down or police have confirmed that a fifty four year old man who came originally from tunisia to austria back in one thousand eight hundred nine is in custody he was well known to the couple in question we understand he delivered food to them a number of times a week that they'd helped him out with money in the past it's also believed that the reason that he. he's the main suspect in having carried out this this attack and why he turned himself into police was that he believed the couple that were linked to the freedom party of austria the far right anti immigrant party we've also heard probably austrian chancellor christine care who said this well he's condemned this attack in the slaying of these two elderly people such crimes
11:10 am
destroy trust in the strength of our society and should be condemned when people are killed because of their real or perceived proximity to any party as happened in loons everyone needs to speak out but if it turns out that they perceived political affiliation was the reasoning behind these killings well that could have huge ramifications through austrian politics but also through politics through out the why do you. let me down going tames from washington that the syrian government is preparing to use chemical weapons damascus says the u.s. is refusing to investigate the previous such incident according to syria's foreign ministry washington oppose sending international experts to his site linked to a chemical attack that took place in april killed in a zation for the prohibiting of chemical weapons credit at a remote investigation and concluded that sarin gas had been used. did not assign blame for the attack but the u.s.
11:11 am
pointed the finger at damascus and found a syrian military base his syrian journalist for him. the mask is this satisfied with the results and the findings of the c.w. into the alleged chemical weapons used in april this year the syrian government said most of the investigation in turkey through the help of turkish mediators which according to syrian government compromises the integrity of that report taking into consideration that turkey has been hostile towards the syrian government and has actually made every effort possible to topple the government of president bashar al assad the syrian officials also said that they have communicated repeatedly with all the c.w. and. the provision of chemical weapons have told the syrian government that they are able to listen is able to visit carry out the investigation first hand and later on became dependent on samples to live or to them in turkey also testimonies
11:12 am
of. who went to them in turkey. despite the fact that the syrian government sent samples of its own gathered collected from ford and had the range for eyewitness accounts. to meet actually with investigators from the over c.w. and about because according to the syrian government these samples and these testimonies were not reflected in the final. report that was published by the oversea w. also the other important issue that was raised by damascus that all the chemical weapons syria used to have were destroyed under the supervision of the international organization and they were destroyed abroad to prevent any future claims that syria has of these weapons inside syria interferes for future use and the last actually point. is that if the united states decides to carry out an act of aggression against damascus it should not only consider the reaction of damascus but also there are repercussions that could
11:13 am
happen from other reactions from ours in syria including russia and. i think you're also referring to text. meanwhile russia's foreign ministry islam and what it calls a social media campaign aimed at smearing the syrian government spokeswoman marie a condemned that is circling online claiming to show the aftermath of another suppose it's chemical weapons attack by damascus. after a short break with more. here's what people have been saying about redacted in the sixty's belong. to the only show i go out of my way to launch a lot of the really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than nothing. and see people you've never heard of love redacted

11:15 am
something bad then issue a correction if it turns out to be false that's a pattern being set by some mainstream media giants the associated press issuing such corrections recently it explains. 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 the assessment was not approved by all seventeen organizations in the american intelligence community though that's what millions of new york times
11:16 am
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.p. subscribers 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 away most of this from the. business ratings but honestly i 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.
11:17 am
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. but but guess what it turned out to be false the article was were cracked it completely no corrections three c.n.n. staff members resigned well you can only learn from your mistakes just don't be so shy only up to what. the associated press news agency recently issued clarifications regarding several stories it published on russia's suppose it meddling in the us elections we also need to clarify why so many mistakes are made in their russia coverage but have had no response. the french president and manu wants to slash the size of france's parliament by a third he announced the plan during an address to the senate a national assembly invests. a smaller parliament with stronger
11:18 am
means is a parliament work becomes more fluid where parliamentarians can surround themselves with a more better trained staff a parliament that works better that is why i proposed to reduce by a third of the members of the three constitutional assemblies i am convinced that this measure will have a positive impact on the general quality of parliamentary work. reducing the size of the parliament wasn't the proposal on the issue of terrorism terrorism is also touched upon he suggested lifting the state of emergency by the autumn and bringing in tough measures on top of that wants to loosen labor laws in a bid to jobs well let's discuss this live with the phaeton member of the republican party jacques myard thanks for joining us here i suppose we can look at the first thing slashing the size of parliament by quite
11:19 am
a large number he's suggesting. in your opinion is this a good idea. this is a very bad idea i think this is a best way to kill the parliament because you see it should be we'll see to arm the population about three hundred thousand instead of a hundred and twenty five hundred and fifty so it will be very difficult for each show be to control is territory to annoy its territory and in fact you know more than that you know me wants to add to. the reform of proportional election and that makes of parliament absolutely under control so i think that the best thing that mr gbagbo wants you want to control does vitamin a and not to be annoyed that by department you want to govern france with a service by technocrats and i think that if you look at the mosque the brawn the
11:20 am
mosque there are brought to a democracy that's why we're going to come back to them by day. well there are a number of are quite a few new members who are new to politics so one could suggest that there's a lot of inexperience there how successful do you think this will be in ruling the country it's like well appearance. well i as i told you mr macro calls that. you know. the former got the the island was thought you want to govern france with high civil servants you want to govern france was technocrats and you don't want to have in these legs in the parliament opposition and this is true to their. international assembly you without free movement to do what you want because those people are only experience they have
11:21 am
somehow been there like i was twenty five years old i'm sorry to say what the first time i was elected i was forty three i had the you know job experience before i was a diplomat and i knew the state of florida's so all those people are just in the hands of the of the president and this is what you want and by giving this new reforms you want in fact to break down the parliament and not to be able to out opposition in parliament this is very very dangerous for democracy ok well we've run out of time jack you've made your views very clear jacqui i'm out of mezzo lafayette members that have taken party thank you very much. and to full bore now is germany proved once again to be the kings of the field of winning the twenty seventeen confederations cup i'm going to hand over now to st petersburg
11:22 am
when neil harvey has a round up of this year's tournament. welcome back sunny beautiful picturesque st petersburg where we are wrapping up our coverage of the twenty seventeen confederations cup we had sixty matches in sixteen days we have our winner as you heard there is germany they defeated chile one nothing to lift the trophy the very observant among you may have noticed someone's missing stan collymore he's headed back to england but before he departed we got some final words of wisdom about his twenty seventeen brushing experience. let's just walk through this one last time before you head back off to england one of the
11:23 am
highlights for you lots of different things to talk about fans the football cultural aspects even the food was very good and she can say to come here is a smallish 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 skirts ok clear other children who think if you see going to honestly you do you expect you were told to keep hearing the racist hooligans they're everywhere looking where all they are being everywhere on tubes in taxis and you bruce and you know the biggest thing you can ever do is a tourist just smile at people i haven't had anybody look at me as if i'm the devil incarnate i haven't heard anybody say anything employed never mind rice east haven't seen any broadcasters. why not because there's no reason to always be suspicious of this country say not about not contribute a book
11:24 am
a soul is regular everyday people that want to get all this politics and the one thing i'm looking forward to hopefully from imported back parts a to come back and see all of the cities surroundings some are right katherine perk rushed off to off not see not being to open to moscow before the first trip to some place but good deal dishing a few more presenters to see me for the upcoming season and you're definitely in the running for a while listen so you've got a fantastic song genuinely an artsy thank you for inviting me now see my. to do this all again. so those with the most thoughts on the tournament or somebody else who is working for our team in this competition you know neal joins me now about a different perspective for example you were one of the lucky ones down at the stadium when the fun was taking place how was that i got to watch the game any final of course is a special occasion a lots of the chilly fans of particular that's my overriding memory of it but actually one thing happened right before i don't think i told you about this i was
11:25 am
interviewing yelena isinbayeva track and field superstar one of the greatest athletes ever gold medalist multiple world champion i was interviewing her thinking it doesn't get any better than this this great having a great interview all of a sudden off camera. walks by and i'm almost sure he wiped away a little bit of catch up from his opera lip after having a hot dog just. diego this is getting good fun out of unreachable some to feel about him i don't forgive but i don't think. one of the highlights of the whole competition for me was something you did in broadcasting when you were speaking to mexico fans and they were singing great voices wonderful characters that must have been fun to work with you know i was in. it for my money the farm's of this term where the mexicans who were there were funds from history from chile but mexicans really huge house on the plane two of them going from time to time singing their lungs out and they're very interesting people to speak to as well because they love
11:26 am
their football wherever there's a game where mexico play their diehard fans and some were telling me. they had spent a lot of savings and coming to russia it's a long way and an eccentric scepter but they were thinking they wanted to go this time to the confederations cup because they didn't think they could afford the world cup will be a longer period but the said you know what after the experiences here we're coming back we're not going to buy as many christmas presents and birthday presents were coming here for the world cup in twenty. well but there's a real great poses to here of course if you're going to find any negatives we haven't really seen them if they're all i need to be found you'll find them from the international journalists who are looking to root out any problems you met up with some of them what do they have to say yeah i cut the take actually from a number of presumed journalists big brazilian contingent and they of course hosted the last world cup in the last confederations cup and i was asked them what their feelings were in the tournament they said overall great but one of the things was perhaps security was a little bit as the assault too tight. brings in this question whether we live in
11:27 am
a different world of course where security us to be tight you know they were saying during the world cup in brazil you know it's a little bit easier to get around so it's an interesting debate for next year's world cup when you go to. the terrorist attacks that you witnessed in the last three years and i would imagine that be an awful lot more complaints if the security was considered not tight enough yeah there a point is that he did wish things could be a little bit more flexible when thirty two different cultures come here next year but they also take the point of course that security is the most important concern ok and we start the road to twenty eight hundred they something one year to go but this a lot of things to get excited here i'm looking forward to you've got ten twelve eleven host cities and some of the cities i've never been to i'm not sure about you but you've the likes of. dawn kaliningrad there could be hosting a messy a rinaldo alexis sanchez next just imagine little children in some rounds going
11:28 am
i've never seen anyone like it's going to be spread about the world cup it's never been hosted in the world's biggest country it's coming here the road show the continent begins june fourteenth next year i can't wait it's going to be absolutely fantastic eunice been great to get your perspective on this and it's been great to have you guys with this throughout the competition we don't quite finished a few more memories to go down just to give you all full experience over the last month the hope to see you again next hour. it's. over that's.
11:29 am
why a lot of us. are going. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be rich. but you're going to be prosperous like that before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in my house. there should. absolutely no dubrovnik in venice are all fixed travel destinations so it must be nice to live there or is it. the crowds of tourists disrupt the city's economic and social life in them
11:30 am
a little bit before this on the celestial get out of that it was such a thought about the traditional story some nuts comes my name somebody else you've done as we've done as my money into a school much as a month 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 a global meatball coffee cup with dolly a cologne in the bushes up the on saabs knock up the suppose it's a me about. to come. as a tourist photo. identity. hello
11:31 am
and welcome to crossfire we considered. revealing the truth c.n.n. in the nothing better better known is russia gate also when trump tweeted in washington melted down and what to expect from the 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 all bitch he is a political analyst as well as a leading expert at the center for actual politics and we have dimitri babied 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 tweet slipping we'd be talking about a little bit more we can talk about that at the counterfeit network news also known
11:32 am
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 would descend my impression is that. you know the boss us in the mainstream media decided to push for higher quality you know lies this is the problem so for example. who is extremely anti russian but even he was enraged when he read boss speed he's an academic but 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 had taken why because something so large got it would you just drop the case this is getting out of hand and that's why we can only see one of these and say gets out of hand we had
11:33 am
mushy guess and say it was getting a little out of hand with these people that really the origins of don't 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 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 chris and what do you think of 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 don't know 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 preparations for iraq war what did c.n.n.
11:34 am
say back then about the evidence about chemical and nuclear weapons in iraq and 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 and 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
11:35 am
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 four of 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 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 would be so biased you know we never had the acting president not just supporting the kind of the office party but also blasted you
11:36 am
know the candidate or the other party. you know when they want to improve the quality of largess 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 the roads 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 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
11:37 am
deep state with all of these leaks these are the real stories out there in the mainstream media a minor 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 the c.n.n. and major news corporations and. never in their life. as a c.n.n. and less than a b. c n 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
11:38 am
series 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 that called brothers opposed the hotel in fact in fact some point one of the brothers said in an interview that he would prefer a victory by democratic contender to victory by their own terms and we see that in the american congress in the senate and 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 we need the help of the deep state in these intelligence communities but
11:39 am
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 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 interest 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 know of other 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
11:40 am
side uses anonymous officials leaked 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 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
11:41 am
program ok some of these you know actions are just some of these intelligence that you just like that just but you also. say they don't even deal with these kinds of assessments so when you're saying selling 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. these repeated scandals at c.n.n. with editors being fired trying to draw business connections between russia and 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 on 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
11:42 am
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 individual media people like. crazy or call him what's her name. so why would i would agree with that because i did so i think that's a very fair description it might be argued with that personally but i want to be clear that that is beneath 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 ok i'm going to get you in these situations of the president assured me we're going to go to a short break and i could not short break we'll continue our discussion on some stories in the media stay with our team.
11:43 am
one of the biggest challenges that any investigators face in dealing with cyber crime is. who did it what 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. yet there's a saying. there on the cheap. and then. let
11:44 am
the ideas. come. to the. everything. this country. this is what we don't understand how we are in such. a. similar. if. not. with the. with. the police story you have to see.
11:45 am
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 in his aides are saying it should be a lot more informal because of the atmosphere the toxic atmosphere here is not even decided. ok why is he wants to tell me what this meeting means if it means anything and what both presidents want to accomplish what both presidents were looking
11:46 am
forward to this meeting for more than half a year and the closer the smi think they got to this meeting. they're 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 you think you think we should keep it low expectations of 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 time perfectly one thing. sort of a lot of the moment you think well 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 you know who cares according to all these mainstream media outlets and according to the terms of series in the american political establishment who has been sort of supporting his
11:47 am
campaign but the all these are substantially that completely. and then you 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 already to show us the power 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's a new story. they're going to get reaction of mark here 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
11:48 am
that is playing down this meeting they're saying that well it. all the pens on putin's busy schedule they'll try to pencil him in. is what they said for the donald he's been to one what makes if 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 fictional magination is everywhere indeed 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 of trump was
11:49 am
immediately attacked and twisted in your logic by the mainstream media i mean he met with a lover and the mainstream media accused all of revealing american secrets dog 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. all new occurred once such a situation it was in the early years of the soviet union when basically it then you did not meet for a need 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 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 go into a cave you know the mainstream press is doing everything to to to basically made us
11:50 am
what it is we're going to record we 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 weekend a wonderful kind of work is he not going to say it because it was a big league meeting and you know that's about it are journalists going to switch gears here is that we trump has been making a lot of noise about north korea here. 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 work presidential again and he's picking on an opponent that everybody does it everyone dislikes. the 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
11:51 am
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 khadafi 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 with 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 sad that the u.s. not going in the middle of nowhere making the south koreans pay for it to get he had trouble getting the south koreans that pay for the trump wanting to renegotiate trade deals with south korea trump sending a fleet 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
11:52 am
relations with the united will be exactly what the president in the oval office meeting it looks like to the new president. 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 one 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 by gunfire 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 meeting we can 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
11:53 am
militarization of the korean lucilla's the united states is there were twenty three thousand israeli raid your sorry i will just be clear to give you a list or south korea is very unkind be about 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 so you mean in the terms with the sanctions as they will be together with sanctions and counter sanctions and russia spends in 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 new york there's a clear path to a more peaceful korean pierce or if he has been dumped has been made by the way the
11:54 am
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. imminence were were they ever 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 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 oh i thought it was just you lean on the chinese that's what you get no where well first of all the us cash to provide security guarantee exactly do you know when we hear
11:55 am
from diem or what do you and the complicated still going on from one thousand people in the this is a nation the hostilities really don't even end 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 you know reason to believe we have not just doesn't appear just when 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 this is the end of exercises a massive exercise regime change the way that the military occupation on the south korean border and massive exercise is starting to govern those are not huge on realistic demands unfortunately the u.s. 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.
11:56 am
does need to stay in south korea they cannot allow. reunify korea except under complete south korean domination with the chinese stone on that savage 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 forty seconds long or forty seconds right but also china which doesn't want the american thought terminal high altitude and defense missiles threatening its very limited nuclear capacity this is a true. russia so these two elements they should also be included in this equation . twenty seconds look at this point states as marx is not willing to is not the able to move there another 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
