china's leaders she jinping is in moscow for a two day official visit it comes amid beijing's strained relations with washington which it's accused of military provoke a provocation in the south china sea. we have an exclusive report from the italian port of polo mogul where migrants are being forced to work for local mafia gangs as the country is under quote enormous pressure over the migrant crisis. and the man on the crown announces plans to slash the spines of france's parliament by a third in a bid to make it more effective at passing new laws. i

am. hello there it's nine pm here in moscow and you're watching r.t. international with me and mickey good to have you with us. china's leader xi jinping is in moscow for a two day official visit he's met with the mayor putin in the kremlin the third and counts of this year the leaders then headed for an informal dinner before tomorrow's busy schedule of talks on the economy trade and bilateral relations ten billion dollars worth of deals are on the table the chinese president will not leave empty handed he will be decorated with russia's highest medal with more on what's on the agenda his mark. they'll also be more pressing geo political matters including north korea and its alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons but also to south korea and america's plans that 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 beings 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 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 the united states labeling china as one of the worst human trafficking offenders in the world 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. political analyst joseph chung thinks that the recent turbulence in u.s. china relations is due to beijing's reluctance to bow to washington's pressure both china and russia would like to. demonstrate their common interests of

deteriorating relations of the united states donald trump ministration seems to be exerting pressure on china to do a lot. push reading north korea to give up its nuclear weapons program but china feels that it is not positioned to do so it is of course are being such gestures may bring about an escalation of tension. and exacerbate the mutual distrust between the two countries hopefully they understand the importance of our voiding such gestures beeding to serious military conflicts and confrontations. attorney is the one man is suspected of having killed an elderly couple in austria allegedly motivated by his hatred of the country's far right freedom party peter all of our 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 until 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 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

linz 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. what leaks chief julian assange has claimed and liberals in the us are liberal no more piece published a collection of clips and articles all calling for his killing parties probably boyko delve deeper into the story billion a sign just clearly done a bit of work collaborating this less 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. 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 fall in it's a battle with the worst elements of state. and 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 of 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 dot com 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 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 deal with this is pretty simple we got special ops forces i mean the dead man can't leaks that this guy just 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 sausage looking into that 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 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. there are cards 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 sixty 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 for my my five intelligence officer believes the media is we're tolerating for hillary clinton's loss in the presidential election. he's highlighting at the moment i think is that rather than the republicans in america who have always been calling for this now it's also what he calls the torrent liberals the democratic party type people in america saying

exactly the same things because they feel that he damaged the electoral chances of hillary clinton in the election last year and despite what he says that despite other evidence coming out that it was in fact 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 both the republican establishment and the democratic establishment. the e.u. has promised to help italy deal with the overwhelming influx of migrants to the country arriving from africa brussels also agreed to boost funding for libya's coast guard however no direct reference was made to italy's appeal for the e.u. to take some pressure off by allowing rescue boats with migrants to dock in the ports of other member states meanwhile rome is getting angry of the lack of support from the e.u. and us threatens to close its ports to rescue ships the interior minister claims

the country is under huge pressure. that as the country is taking it home of thousands of people who've crossed the mediterranean from africa according to the u.n. almost eighty four thousand people have arrived at italian pause since the start of the year some estimates predict the number will jump to two hundred twenty thousand by the end of twenty seventeen wanted to be called on neighbors to help but france has even used drones and dogs to hunt down those trying to slip across the border between the countries. with the migrant crisis gripping italy reports are emerging that mount fear gangs have been increasing their influence and this is really important palermo by taking advantage of refugee artie shaw to do what is good traveled to the poor to news the hidden camera in some areas to find out exactly what's happening. just behind me is where the famous sicilian. takes place. every day while in the day it's

a hot spot for tourists in fact they're recommended to go and see the market is one of the things to do on the island of sicily but at night. something completely different and instead of selling fresh produce and fish. in the streets. and the majority of the people selling drugs. africa that's what we've been told. we filmed in secret on the streets. trafficking. drugs. need to use. its.

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 acts which is forcing new migrants to work for them. to. use. don't refuse. doing black x. activities. to be.

sure the hundred million me. to do so. selling drugs is not the only way many forced to make money if we just head down this main street literally this main street is where many of the. origin. it's often known to have been many investigations into the profit surrounding drugs as well as that of 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 willing to take the place of anybody who removed from the streets for prostitution selling drugs this is a problem that seems to have no solution.

to discuss the situation in italy more now less. than one journalist marcelo thank you for joining us on the program now we're hearing that italy is overwhelmed by the tens of thousands of migrants being rescued over the past week how many more my corns can italy realistically take it at this point. because all the. people and there is widespread sensation that we cannot afford. the people that are. third of the. literally there if you didn't know they refuse to receive. the people that the government sending them because they say we don't know where to put them and that is the. the sensation very strong that all the italian people are fed up with this

situation and they feel think that this is a great injustice is a double justice for these people for the migrants that are looking for a better situation and are finding a worse situation than they were expecting and for the thousands because they saying we cannot become a huge country where everybody can come and we cannot store everybody we cannot help everybody and europe is not helping us so this situation is very critical and the migrant crisis though they came up in germany today where germany's ruling coalition announced its manifesto for the upcoming election let's take a quick listen to the minister president of bavaria horsy five please hold the line . we have clear statements in the cellar tural program i mean the parts that stipulates that the year two thousand and fifteen should be repeated we advocate for the reduction of the number of refugees and stabilization of the numbers at a low level. so the question is mystified how can you provide something that's already in full swing. so yes this is another i mean the big scandal

in italy is that there are some n.g.o.s ships that are doing the sort of taxi service because they are doing they are going until the near the lead on cost and they are taking a on board all these people and there are widespread. reports showing that there is a direct communication between the human traffickers and the so-called n.g.o.s so that those n.g.o.s that they are bringing even in italy thousands of people and that this is something that is being done on the dollars by some journalists and some political parties but it is being denied for a long time by the. current government saying that there was no taxi service now the time government is changing their attitude because he's realizing that people don't accept the situation anymore and apparently tomorrow in tell you

minister meeting the european telling me the minister meeting they will decide the new rules that we are limited to the freedom of rescue that the n.g.o.s ships have have had until now so but this is this is this is something the reversal of the position of the government but what really everybody wonders will be this sufficient to stop what i was appalled the invasion of the economic migrants because that's something very important is the big big big by giora the of those speed. they are not familiar feeling from the war enough fleeing from syria they're not fleeing from the iraq they are coming from the so-called black africa is ninety or bit more or ninety five percent of them and this makes this situation by difference because people said they hear it if somebody has a human i tell you in crisis we are willing to help but if somebody is just trying

to escape or to have a better life and. cannot absorb everybody that's a fellow just want a quick question for you at play is that it's a very concise way to count she want to know in your opinion is the e.u. hanging its only out to dry in its current crisis. yes the european union is keep saying we want to have peter only we don't understand the teeth that he is facing a big crises but so far every measure is being an effective and there is a sort of double talk for example this morning to the newspaper said that there is an agreement between italia germany and france to try to have a new position in europe and what we have heard there by the very miniseries something totally different and what would be so much prone person mccrone he's saying is that he would not outlaw economic migrants to come in france and fact is

a is closing the border between tele and france in the southern part of france so the big question is a wall what it what it will what they will do what european you know will do to have p.t.s.d. and if you don't do anything those are the political situation reached to be very. out of control which means that they're cutting government can become very unpopular and sadly in general as much as i thought i thank you for your time. as president about in the crowd is getting ready to downsize the parliament we've got both story on xm all coming up after the short break.

well ok ok. well. welcome back the french president among them a clown wants to slash the size of france's paula meant by a third he announced the plan going to dress to the senate on its national assembly and thus i thought a moment when a smaller parliament but with stronger means is a parliament where work becomes more fluid where parliamentarians can surround themselves with a more better trained staff a parliament that works better that is why i propose to reduce by a third the members of the three constitutional assemblies i'm convinced that this

measure will have a positive impact on the general quality of parliamentary work. what do you think the size of the parliament wasn't the only proposal mccrone made the issue of terrorism was also touched upon he suggested lifting the state of emergency by the autumn and bringing in tougher anti terror measures on top of that mccrone wants to loosen labor laws in a bid to boost jobs but we've discussed the plans with a number of experts. to give him the objective first of all it will obviously streamline i mean crowns you must know that process five times smaller than the us but has more members of parliament and there are in the us congress and i think this is been a very our subject a lot of people been talking about so it will downsize the flow of communication to get laughs through and also i think is showing a very strong giving a strong message to france saying that the french state is going to downsize globally i mean that's of the setting something really important if you want to show it to the french public you can see how the. macro has been elected

without having your made in politics in their lives because it's a very new party which has been elected with the help of the big museums in france you know there in france nine billion in. the media so he is there these m.p.'s are only as employees of the new so much who is also an employee of. the media. i think so. and now football is germany proved once again to be the kings of the field at winning the two thousand and seventeen confederations cup artie's neil harvey and award winning sports broadcaster stan collymore have been covering the championship for us.

another beautiful sunny day here in st petersburg welcome to artie's continue coverage of the twenty seventeen confederations cup which after six the match. in sixty days saw germany lifting the trophy courtesy of a warm no win over chile now i know you're thinking where has stan collymore gone he was here throughout the competition with me he has now sadly i know together our departed back to it but before he went he took time for a chat with me about his russian twenty seventeen experience going to start one last time before you head back off to england what are the highlights for you lots of different things to soak out fans the football cultural aspects even the food is very good and she can say to come here is as a tourist primarily a cup why to come back and i will come back. but i am. so sorry i just lost racists and who can spurs so cut clear the chance to think if you see going on the say you do you expect you were told to keep hearing the race the hooligans there everywhere you look where are they up in everywhere appearing 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 added 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 a bad not contribute a beautiful soul is regular every day people that want to get all this politics and the one thing i'm looking forward to were out for a filming party back say to come back and see all of the city's surroundings some are right cancer in perth rushed off to off nazi not being to open to moscow before his first trip to simply spoke well below dishing a few more presenters to see liz before the convention and you are definitely in the running for it was all a suicide about a fantastic so i'm genuinely an aussie thank you for inviting me you know she might be able to do this all again at the world cup next year.

stan collymore is experiences someone else who is involved in art. he's coverage though you know neal joins me now in the studio and union you have a very different perspective you were you were for example at the stadium for the final what a fantastic place to be yeah it was got to watch the germans in full flow without really wall new world class player to their name really just winning i deficiency the system great to watch a person sees considered to be to an extent preparation for the will run up and it's going to be a lot more than just for host cities next time around how sure is well i was speaking to some actually brazilian this is the final note brazil of course hosted the last world cup on the confederations cup the year before that did a lot of praise for russia but one of the things they said was they felt sometimes security at the stadiums was a little bit harsh getting a ride except for it and that opens up a lot of discussion about security verses you know ease of getting

a ride in great to get you already taken all this i have to say though as first time to myself it was only posted as all round good for host city for stadiums and tons of fun. going to. be at the last election of dawn home of the palace now. as i. see the solution the king stadium one of the most famous in the world rican say we helped. form the right structure over. the beautiful city the kid says. the fish right here in the background from the sky . we.

all the. true difficulty in the job you do you it's been great fun but we really have to go hope you've enjoyed it i hope we informed you and if not the whole we could lease and to tell you that if you thought this is good a bit strange just imagine the madness we're going to bring you for the world cup next year another good bye. some breaking news for you now from the u.s. state of massachusetts where cars hit

a group of pedestrians of boston's logan airport police say several people have been injured the incident took place near a taxi pull the cause of the instant is not yet known but we will be bringing you more on this story as soon as we get it here on r.t. international. revealing the truth see him in the nothing better known as russia gate also when trump tweeted in washington melted down and what to expect from the putin trump needed.

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 presaged 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 us national security agency responsible for the patio run somewhere and jacqui speak just surveillance expert sound of an 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 david wenham on a why the 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 war coming up at today's going underground but first what is the point of the african union as leaders gather in ethiopia will any of them express their anger at nato nation military and economic war against the continent maybe this man we want to agree with. or. we. would not agree with you can point me. when. i we. need to compensate. 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. most of the. wealth. we reject to compete that is 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 gaddafi albeit under the pretext of saving lives your city was an inspiration to the womb as you grew up with a sage and she was david cameron who is supported by tourism a crowing about nature success just before libya descended into chaos maybe some nato nations are changing about africa though given this man is currently polling as favorite to be the next british prime minister. because our british officers norwegian farmers. united states. western involvement brought up most of the problems colonialism true the paraphrase and the west

exploited their natural resources ever since and. to continue that something i. said well it's all for you i reach are rising up i can still stand 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 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 now dorothy thanks so much for coming on with a few on noble exceptions why do you think the refugee crisis has all but disappeared

from our t.v. screens. well more because also people don't want to talk about it they wish to 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 imagines is about as we've been living in allow celebrates their families 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 who to run their own economy because policies dictated from the outside either because they they are indebted so they have to follow the dictates of the international financial institutions or because they are signatory to free trade agreements or bilateral

investment treaties or the world trade organization have a decades we've had clear criticism of the international monetary fund of the world bank for publishing. killing and wounding displacing millions 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 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 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 industries

months after the industries 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 get on 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 a rich country rich country or countries playing. that's also reframing of the of

the discourse here because i got to say having the obviously some bricks it voters may have realized i was right they were a different direction what do you 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 you think of that excuse that's up to the also 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. people capital can go anywhere that it once business sect the business eskin can go anywhere invests extract resources impoverished the local population but those who are suffering from the consequence of that are not

welcome here are the great square or thank you. companies all over the world are still reeling from the latest around somewhere attack named petyr vulnerabilities in systems designed by microsoft which also design software used in britain's trident weapons of mass destruction system were allegedly exploited by a technology called it tunnel blue surveillance expert and web developer sound of anima joins me now via skype from his wallet in the netherlands sana thanks 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 had roker's which is a sort of. black cats hacker group got its hold on. a man tired collection of and sorry tools and then released them on to the web and this was subsequently.

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

the world john you know that one container terminal got hit america to the pension good people as well and you know this is costing millions of pounds so . so i would expect some more. you know point you imagine that you know you're waiting for russia to be playing to north korea and i think that's a very good point and one thing you shoot remember is that the cia has this separate from the group within the cia. specifically designed to make some attack look like it came from somewhere else so this produced was released to. collection so that's you know another. angle because well we don't know for certain where it comes from from the russian not from the americans not from north korea or

anywhere else simply because these tools exist. to sort of feed a pretty attack very strong. on what you know of another group britain's defense secretary said michael phelan albeit there's a reason. he said the president out 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. carrier comes out. you know out of the factory. with ancient. technology just very briefly to raise a maze 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 to actually talk to paul hackers 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. the infrastructure of terror 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. short of this sound bite the solution to the problem and it's not. so sad event of a thank you after the break time the most common noun 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 dull the simple coming up in part two of going underground. bustling the dubrovnik. fix travel destinations so it must be nice to live there or

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 port that theory is that when you and i talk about time we often use spatial metaphors will say i'm looking

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

future we miss about the past but what is time at the deepest sense of the word and the sort of two views of this one as we call eternal ism and there the past and the future are equally real so one way to put it is that now is to time as here is to space just like you and i are here but we accept that viewers and everybody else are other points in space there's. there are versions of you and me if you will at other points in time which of course loves allows. time travel so this is sort of what enables the talk of time travel and meanwhile though there is present ism and then there's present tism in which under present ism only the present is real so the past. disappears into the void and no longer exist except in our memory and the future is wide open. and yet to come some configuration of the

universe that has not yet happened but only the present is real and in physics sort of more accepted view is actually the most counterintuitive one which is the tournaments i'm which is called the block universe and so the standard view in physics is actually that the past present and future are equally real which to which is a bit incompatible with our daily experience which makes it very hard to understand what we feel as the flow of time at least as far as the stage of the oh it is at the moment we can say something though about how the brain itself tells him no matter what capitalism we have done to upset the in rhythms being what it was accurate time keep busy you say until the seventeenth said you have so little brain right the human brain is very different from like the clock us on our risk of clocks on our risks our product of a new stone dingly 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 cicadas rhythm so the circadian rhythm is what drives our behaviors to go to bad to get up to eat and we know a lot about that there's a part in your brain called the super cosmetic nucleus sort of deep in the basement of your brain that undergoes these twenty four hour oscillations for the all the zeros contracts would. reduce everything this is occurring with the. the cells over that already 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 for the long term what about i mean to let alone. bits right at the end of the book one of them. that humans ability evolutionarily suited to long term planning i mean the reason why capitalism is so successful the short term fight. when 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 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 freewill. what is the state of new 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 so so this is the this there's absolutely a time delay in that if i and away we know there's a time delay or one of the piece of evidence for this time delays they can do experiments where they ask say so move your finger whenever you want and they can

measure when you use move your finger but they can measure in your brain before you move your finger. so in a way they know you're going to move your finger experimenter's before you actually know or move your finger so there's. brain signals are signatures that preceded seemed to proceed voluntary action so i think the most can sweat that's telling us is that. free will is probably best interpreted as the feeling the unconscious mind generates of having made a decision now what this means to our actions is i think people need to embrace the fact that wed 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 obama 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 the making speech still that he would talk about social media let's deal with a sick feeling is of the day the british labor government lost the u.k. national health service act dating universal health care for all and very. little.

china's leaders she didn't paint is in moscow for a two day official visit it comes amid beijing's strained relations with washington which it's accused of military provocation in the south china thing. we have an exclusive report from the attorney in port of a learner where migrants are being forced to work for local mafia gangs that's in the country is under quote enormous pressure over the migrant crisis. and demand all mccrone announces plans to slash the size of france's parliament by a third and a bit to make it more effective at passing the new law. hello

and thank you for joining us you're watching r.t. international with me mickey aaron we start with an update on our developing story in the u.s. state of massachusetts where a car has hit a group of pedestrians in east boston near the city's logan airport emergency officials say ten people have been taken to hospital reports suggest the driver error is being investigated as because the car which appears to be a boston city taxi struck near the airport taxi rank the driver is reported to still be at the scene and cooperating with police. china's leaders she is in moscow for a two day official visit he's met with latimer putin in the kremlin and that's their first encounter this year the leaders then headed for an informal dinner before tomorrow's busy schedule of talks on the economy and bilateral relations ten

billion dollars worth of deals are on the table and the chinese president will not leave empty handed he'll be decorated with russia's highest medal and with more on what's on the agenda here's mark gatiss. they'll also be more pressing geo political matters including north korea and its alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons but also south korea and america's plans that 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 beings 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 cakes together the honeymoon says the press is over peeing 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 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 the united states labeling china as one of the worst human trafficking offenders in the world 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. political analyst joseph chang thinks that the recent turbulence in u.s. china relations is due to beijing's reluctant to bow to washington's pressure. there are obviously problems are especially over the north korean issue but donald trump ministration seems to be exerting pressure on china to do a lot are you push reed in north korea to give up its nuclear weapons program but china feels that it is not positioned to do so of course of being injured as such gestures may bring about an escalation of tension. and exacerbate the mutual distrust between the two countries hopefully they understand do you portions of our voiding such gestures be doing to serious military

conflicts and confrontations. the e.u. has promised to help italy deal with the overwhelming influx of migrants to the country arriving from africa brussels also agreed to boost funding for libya's coastguard however no direct reference was made to italy's appeal for the e.u. to take some pressure off by allowing rescue boats with migrants to dock in the ports of the member states. meanwhile rome is getting angry over the lack of support from the e.u. and has threatened to close its ports to rescue ships the interior minister claims the country is under huge pressure as the country's take in hundreds of thousands of people who've crossed the mediterranean from africa according to the u.n. almost eighty four thousand people have arrived at italian ports since the start of base year as the most a mess predicts the number will jump to two hundred twenty thousand by the end of

twenty seventeen while it's because our neighbors to help france is even used drones and dogs to hunt down those trying to slip across the border between the countries. i spoke with italian journalist marcelo foer who says if the e.u. does nothing to help italy through the migrant crisis the political situation in the region could take a turn for the worst. the european union is keep saying we want to have peter lee we know understand that it that he's facing a big crisis but so far every measure is being an effective and there is a sort of double talk for example this morning to the newspaper said that though there is an agreement between eataly germany and france to try to have a new position in europe and what we have heard there by the very many studies something thought to be different and what mr mccrone person mccrone is saying is

that he will not alow economic migrants to come in france and fact is is closing the border between italy and france in the southern part of france so the big question here is a war what it what it will what they will do what european union will do to have p.t.s.d. and if you don't do anything the also the political situation reached to be very. out of control which means that the cutting government can can become very unpopular. what the migrant crisis gripping is to lay reports are emerging that mafia gun have been increasing their influence in a silly imports of polo by taking advantage of refugees. traveled to the port and used a hidden camera in some areas to find out exactly what was happening. just behind me is where the famous sicilian market a ballad 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 produce and fish what's being sold on the streets. drugs and the majority of the people selling drugs on migrants from africa that's what we've been told by one journalist francesco. we film in secret with him on the streets here there is. very powerful trafficking. drugs. need to use somebody for sell drugs. 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 migrant gang is black acts which is forcing new migrants to work for them. don't refuse to.

do it. selling drugs is not the only way many foods to make money if we just head down this main street literally just this main street is where many of the. origin. it's often there have been many investigations. surrounding drugs. prostitution regardless of. do nothing seems to be able to stamp it out one of the reasons is because there is a constant source. willing to take the place of anybody who's removed from the streets. selling drugs this is a problem that seems to have. attorneys

in man is suspected of having killed an elderly couple in austria allegedly motivated by his hatred of the country's far right freedom party piece or all of the reports. 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 that the couple that were linked to the freedom party of austria the far right anti immigrant party we've also heard from the austrian chancellor christine cairn who said this where

he's condemned this attack in the slaying of these two elderly people such crimes 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 lind's 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 throughout the wider e.u. . best not discuss the story with multiculturalism experts are still there remiss larry thank you for joining us on the program so the suspect reportedly blames the freedom party for many things including losing his benefits and being unable to find a job i think is really bound out of the party's activities really making life worse than my current thin in austria. well i'm not sure that i can comment on that particular party's activities i think that right now. it is very thin.

regarding. political intentions and especially political rhetoric now with all of the different types of media going the internet and and people who are speaking more openly now that the right is much more vocal around the world i think there's there's just a lot of tendency to want to politicize things so i guess let me begin by saying that nobody has ever any excuse. to do such acts and kill people. the man must have been quite disturbed and disturbed probably at many levels and so an isolated incident is really difficult to associate to any type of political activity i would also like to say that if you care in the same way that you shouldn't blame or attack somebody for their ethnic origin

you shouldn't attack somebody for their political beliefs so in any case this sort of attack was wrong the fact that the man was tunisian to me is almost barely. a detail i mean the man who's been living there since one thousand nine hundred nine i would say he's equally austrian as he is tunisian so to make an animal again the fact. that because he's tunisian he would have committed this act is absolutely absurd it isn't an isolated case but if the reason that he's given a fair commit in this is that awful act do bring into question that the tensions that are already there in the country i mean this is a part of the freedom party that's been calling for a ban on muslim symbols similar to the ban on nazi symbols and things like that do you not think they're going to make that. the bait the tense situation in the country well that type of that type of rhetoric and those type of demands are

definitely. almost humous in themselves i want to use the i want i don't want to use the same word for the acts that this man committed but. that's a whole that's a whole subject unto itself of course the political extreme political parties rhetoric is extremely destructive to normal political party relationships and unfortunately it trickles down to people in very destructive ways and some people mix that all of their deep personal frustrations and you know start thinking that that it's a political party that ruin their lives and that's kind of a short circuit that's a combination of a mental problem and the fact that there is all that information out there on all that rhetoric out there that makes it really easy to blame it on that you know if you have hate language out there then they hate language is going to be done by

people who are weak and in a weak state as i mentioned earlier these parties which are essentially anti my current party they received lots of support recently and do you think that's a direct result of the migrant crisis. you're saying that migrant parties have had lots of success lately and i missed the second part of your question i'm sorry sorry anti migrant parties that are getting more and more popular do you think that's a direct result of the migrant crisis. of course of course that the migrant crisis feeds into it people who are not. sort of informed or supported enough by the governing bodies that are in place you know who might not have the resources necessary to placate people and to educate them and to help the adequate integration of all of these people. you know if the migrants aren't

adequately then people who have their own frustrations and are narrow minded and are attracted by the rhetoric of some parties will definitely be attracted by that and start participating in this is something that should be part of any migrant policy is to handle the acceptance of the present population as well as handle the integration of the migrant population i know it's easy to say but it's all a matter of resources and education and communication and going back to our resources it really takes time and investment this is a big issue we have in the world and it's costing and we have to spend the money otherwise on make it a success ok so every multiculturalism expert thank you for your time thank you. now the french president tomorrow mccrone wants to slash the size of france's parliament by a third to be announced the plans are going to dress to the senate a national assembly invest. a smaller part becomes more fluid where

parliamentarians can surround themselves with a more better trained staff a parliament that works better that is why i propose 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. what do you see in the size of the parliament wasn't the only proposal mccrone made the issue of terrorism was also touched upon he suggested lifting the state of emergency by the autumn and bringing in tough anti terror measures on top of that mccrone wants to loosen labor laws in a bid to boost jobs but we discuss these plans with a number of experts. the objective is called first of all it will obviously streamline i mean crown you must know that francis five times smaller than the u.s. but has more members of parliament and there are in the us congress and i think this has been a very our subject a lot of people been talking about so it will downsize the flow of communication to

get laughs through and also i think is showing a very strong giving a strong message to france saying that the french state is going to downsize globally i mean that's of the setting something really important if you want to show it to the french public you can see how the. macro has been elected without having a made in politics in their lives because it's a very new party which has been elected with the help of the big media in france you know than france or nine billion in. the media so he is there these m.p.'s are only as employees of the news so micro who is also an employee of. the media. and so i think so. publish an unconfirmed story about the russians doing something bad then issue a correction if it turns out to be felt that's a pattern beings that by some mainstream media giants the associated press issuing

all such corrections recently to trying to explain. if only it were a fact that russia hacked the u.s. elections that would make some journalist lives so much easier here's something recent from the new york times the american intelligence community has said they were shown interference is a fact not an opinion get it fact ok but you still have to explain why something's a fact they chose this report with its many high degree of confidence tags attention judgments that don't imply that the assessment is a fact while the author of this and why times article got too carried away scroll down correction these system was not approved by all seventeen organizations in the american intelligence community though that's what millions of new york times readers were told in the original article at least it got caught with all those pesky fact checkers about life ain't that easy yet in school they taught me about

the world's most respected news organizations like the times associated press but what do i see now on a.p.'s website that very same clarification 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. live on c.n.n. constantly a rush to the source of. this ratings but honestly if you think. it's just like. most of the you know we don't know. 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. 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 all the up to with. the associated press news agency recently issued clarifications regarding several stories it published on rush's the pose that meddling in the us elections well ask them to clarify why so many mistakes have been made in their rush of coverage but have had no response so far former cia analyst and whistleblower john kiriakou says russia is the media's favorite bogeyman right now for a variety of reasons. first of all we have this this untenable twenty four hour news cycle where 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 truck or anti trump and the russia story 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 ought 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 the proof they just need the new york times and the new york times these associated press frequently rely on one unconfirmed source before they run with the story. and now is germany prevents again to be the kings of the pit twinning the two thousand and seventeen confederations cup lobby and award winning sports broadcaster stan collymore have been covering the championship for us.

another beautiful sunny day here in st petersburg welcome to our teams continue coverage of the twenty seven team confederations cup which up to sixty much easy sixty today 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 departed back to a good but before he went he took time for a chat with me about his russian twenty seventeen experience one last time before you head back over to england one. in 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. but i am. so sorry i just lost

the racists and who can spur some kind of clear to the if you see going to only say you do you expect you were told to keep hearing the racist hooligans they're everywhere you look where are they up in everywhere appearing on troops in taxis and bruce and you know the biggest thing you can ever do is a tourist just smile at people laugh and add to anybody look at me as if i am the devil incarnate i haven't heard anybody say anything employed never mind rice east haven't seen any broadcast is. sure why no because there's no reason to always be suspicious of this country say not about that contribute to the poor soul is regular everyday people that want to get all this politics and the one thing i'm looking forward to go out for a film invited by say to come back and see all of the city's surroundings some are right katherine perk rushed off the of nazi not being to open to moscow before his first trip to some place for good deal dishing

a few more percenters to see the list before you can think of and you are definitely in the running for it was all a suicide about a fantastic so i'm genuinely and off say thank you for inviting me to you know she might be able to do this all again next year. for someone else who was working with us throughout the competition artie skate partition came in the stands perspective you worked in a different capacity different locations were in fan zone two 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 i think that what they would say it's a festival of football don't they it's always about how the fans completely light up a tournament it doesn't matter how good the infrastructure is or the organization their course obviously that helped. as well as the security it's the people themselves and i think it was on both sides so you had the foreign fans coming in here and also the russian fans that really kind of got into it as well and also not only supporting russia but also the other teams that were taking part we saw the face painting that have all kind of different sort of flags painted on their faces and

really getting involved and that whole feeling of that kind of international mix of everybody being very friendly getting on and having a good time i think that really made me a great experience for fans but also i would say for us guys the media i mean the chance to travel around look at these host cities responded i did this 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 or all the sea of our confederations cup twenty seventeen previews we went to st petersburg and it was on. to moscow to remember when this football din of a single name on the on the way with the politicians that sports before we. even taxi drivers 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 you start your really well respected highly successful premier league striker of the pen here i would consider it a great honor if you could just hold the ball while i saw. it all. hope you've enjoyed it i hope we informed you and if not the whole we could least entertain you and if you thought this is a bit strange just imagine the madness we're going to bring you for the world cup next year now that your bike. ult. am the a.

lead. in case you're new to the game this is how it works now the economy is built around corporations corporations run washington or washington controls the media the media over the voters elected 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 before. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last turn. 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 day. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark 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. i speak to now as there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker.

following welcome across all things we consider them peter lavelle revealing the truth c.n.n. in the nothing burger better known as russia gate also when trump tweeted in washington melted down and what to expect from the putin trump meeting in homer. cross 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 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 into. national origin when crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it a lot to cover here we have c.n.n. in the spotlight if it weren't for trump's tweets they think we'd be talking about 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 gate something that is a spent force well i mean it was this and my impression is that. you know the boss us in the mainstream media decided to push for higher quality. of life so this is the problem so for example. who is extremely anti russian but even he was enraged when he read on boss speed he's an academic that 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 wide cause something so they would just drop the case this is getting out of hand

and that's why we can only see and we want to be in and i say get out of hand we had much a guess and say it was getting a little out of hand with these people that really the origins of the you know picture it seems to me that. the situation in western countries when it comes to news and media is that the news is about the media and i think this is this is the danger here because we're not talking about fox i mean if you look at c n n in b.c. i mean they have they haven't talked about 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.

see back then about the evidence about chemical and nuclear weapons in iraq about in the. weapons of mass destruction are what happened three years before that so every few years. the major news channels behave similarly it's not it's nothing new nothing new but make the differences the difference is people like us i think think it's alternative media that is making the difference right now because we had that in yugoslavia no one said a word because there wasn't any dissenting views we had the run up to an illegal war in iraq there weren't any dissenting views because there weren't in there wasn't a media spaceport now there is mark is not a difference i think part of the difference is simply partisanship we although the corporate mainstream media in the united states is almost entirely dominated by a. pretty rabid liberal political parties 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 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 where they 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 rubberneckers she watches you're passing by it. seems to me. if we look at the president and we look at the media they're describing themselves these are all self-inflicted wounds on all sides ok the problem is that just great in the institutions you know the institution 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 know the candidate or the other party. you know when they want to improve the quality of lars 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 great media want to do 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 as if i were going to be more important here victor is that the if there's any real scandal surrounding the two thousand and seventeen

presidential cycle it's really what the justice department did under obama with the deep state with all of these leaks these are the real stories out there in the mainstream media 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 a c.n.n. and major news corporations in the us never in their life bosses at c.n.n. and less than a b. c. and b. c b c c.b.s. and so forth go to war with the. station without the tips they knew they knew that i didn't have the making of the special

serious without the backing of the intelligence community without the backing of the american political establishment in. it's not just that democrats here mentioned the koch brothers throughout the election season west here 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 a 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 mark you if we go back to one of those revealing videotapes one of the producers at c.n.n. said ninety percent of my colleagues i mean it's a mindset that we can even you can tap into very easily i mean they're willing actors. in and pushing this kind of line from the deep state in other vested interests the koch brothers i mean you don't have to pay you have to bribe willingly 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 leads to no of either accountable not in most deep state officials that you have written it out right you know it is that really is a phenomenon and. the other hand the liberal media gets all upset when the other

side uses anonymous officials 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 in the me. we have had this. new york times and the associated press new york times in particular maggie haberman i'll withdraw this this close shade. simply false narrative of seventeen intelligence work let me even wage the former director of national intelligence officer testified under oath to senator alfonse that has been repeated over and over on who is to program

ok some of the television issues 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. these repeated scandals at c.n.n. with editors being fired trying to draw business connections between russia and the campaign that was tsonga and it cost three employees a couple reporters and an editor their jobs and now we've got these damaging videos coming out about c.n.n. cynical profit driven pursuit of this which 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 going to walk away from of invested a lot into it go ahead. i think the problem is in the ideal would you and trump made a mistake when he didn't buy the ideology but he just target the individual media people like. crazy or call him what's her name. ok so why would i would agree with that because i mean i guess 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 our government i should tell you in these situations all the president assured me we are going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some stories in the media stay with our kids.

yes there's a saying. there on the cheap but then you went through all the countries let's . just go to a scum he said if you ever do to pass. this country. this is what we don't understand how we are in such as. the rest of the month at the same time. it was

a monumental. similar. john. if the minerals are on board not that. again in the world with the on the cover with. would come back 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 coming we have the president of the united states meeting the president of the russian federation something that trump i think

wanted to do in 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 it's not even decided. ok we're going to hear what's to 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 the smi think they got to this me think they're less they were you know we're looking forward to it simply because they expect their expectations are lower with every week with every day you think we think they should keep lower expectations are the expectations are so also low going there is nowhere to go there that's it their bottom and it's interesting why and when this leak happened that they want to. sort of sort 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. more for a meeting with out over the edge of the sea state was put into. according to all these mainstream media outlets and according to. verses in the american political establishment who has been sort of supporting his campaign but the all these are substantially the completely. worse and then the end and so the purpose of the leak was not so much to show what the hell is going on in the white house but again to show that it is seeking to prolong the longer or already know 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 to 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 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 donald you know when there's nothing policy wise going to be decided out of this meeting but it is very important because i think trump does form his relationships to a large extent through personality those first meetings will matter and he has

built putin up i think in his own imagination in varying ways but also he's driven by ego. go and he's been completely assailed in the press by fictional magination is everyone indeed what he thinks think i mean i mean i think mark's right here because the personal relations and just to point to figure out who's alpha dog here is this what he's going to try to figure out well i think the explanation is very simple anything connected russia is about the person that of trump was immediately attacked and twisted in your logic by the mainstream media i mean he met with a lover of and the mainstream media. all of a 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 then you did not meet for him need us for us because he was their evolutionary so he considered to be on his dignity to meet them and second because his own party it was like how come you were meeting with all of these imperialists well for many years the brass tried to facilitate the summits you know remember how the press was enthusiastic about rag meat and more but if you're going to make it easier now that mainstream press is doing everything to do basically anything very limited what it is going to wreck is we don't want anything to come out the biggest surprise or question about the results of this meeting is basically is time going to see the end of it or this was a wonderful because they're wonderful going to work is he not going to say it because there was a big league meeting that's about it or a german if you go there it's to switch gears here is that we trump has been making a lot of noise about north korea here. for me there is no there are no good options

here mark winds strong 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. trump's 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 khadafi in libya that if you give up and 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 fat the blame and 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 relations with you know exactly when the president in the oval office meeting it looks like the the new president of korea was kind of bending towards from his way deep 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 that going president you know the woman who just had to create a sprint. under her of an assassination all of that north korean leader

kim jong un will supplant i am no fan of kim jong il. vibe 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 hu to basically a capital punishment but i think if this g. twenty summit meeting is really serious i think they should discuss one thing the growing militarization of of the world in general what people know what about the militarization of the to relieve some of the united states is there were twenty three thousand three rape 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 or 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 absolutely together with the sanction and counter sanctions and russia spends one is defense twenty seven percent of what nato is european elway's spend on their defense that's not from russian media that's from the stockholm institute for peace research you know if there's a clear purpose to a more peaceful korean pierce or if he has been there dempsey has been lead by the way in the nineteen ninety s. there were some agreements made clinton administration and the leadership of north korea that was installed on the roof of the source korean immanence 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 the you know

what the their source the other the or what they themselves of course north korea now are sort of act. well you see 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 when the korean peninsula only thoughtless oh i thought it was just so you lean on the chinese that's what you get it well first of all the u.s. customs of security guarantee exactly do you know when we hear from diem or what do you and the complicated still going on from one thousand people in the this nation the hostilities in lead to an 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 has a reason to be. not just going to pan japan it was very simple north korea is a very reasonable 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's only an arms they want diplomatic recognition that the system and exercise is a massive exercise right because of 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. does need to stay in south korea they cannot allow reunify korea except under complete south korean domination with the chinese don't they want that exactly the 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. so these two elements should also be included in this equation. twenty seconds look at this point state as marx is not willing is not able to move washington is not going to change its line and. 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 to my guess the remark and thanks to our viewers for watching us do not you see you next time and remember.
