a worldwide news headlines. welcome to your headlines. china's leader. is right here in moscow for a two day official visit with the kremlin and within the last hour has been laying flowers at the tomb of the unknown soldier in central moscow. has more on what's expected today. yesterday was more of a casual affair an informal meeting as well as a dinner the real deal though is today on the table twelve billion dollars worth of deals as well as twenty bilateral documents covering too many things to mention and putin and she big old hands at this they've met more than twenty times. this is their meeting many of their foreign policy foreign outlooks international
4:02 am
outlook very similar if not identical including those on north korea and its alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons as well as the means to deliver them ballistic missiles in north korea and also south korea where the united states is in the process of stationing a part of its missile shield which russia and china worry about they say that it sees too much and does nothing to stop to stop north korea also today putin will be awarding xi jinping one of russia's highest on another one for the memory books.
4:03 am
good chinese is the man who told me that ice cream is very much enjoyed here as i promised i brought you a whole box of russian icecream. north korea will also be on the agenda of the g. twenty summit later this week after pyongyang conducted yet another missile test launching it towards the sea of japan and north korea confirmed the test and said it had been a success donald trump tweeted his reaction demanding from china quote a heavy move on its neighbor and professor of the gentle school of international affairs charlie affairs any destabilization will be
4:04 am
a headache for that region. or yes because. it is a model hazard. china no matter how old a democracy of the china at the end of the day. will your be cause for strategic balance in asia against an american group so i think you know the circumstances are actually our trump who wants only one option which is to cry and open. but not korea and of the united states when he has you know sixty seventy thousand troops there but he's neighboring countries japan russia china if i would add it because they are not very good neighbors of iraq korea and whatever happens if the region falls for example it will have had a couple questions on these neighboring countries so they will be looking at what they would consider the be more constructive approach. i mean time as you jumping his visit to russia it comes at a time when china's relations with the u.s.
4:05 am
are on shaky ground that's after beijing ordered military vessels and jets to warn off an american warship which according to china violated its territorial waters in the south china sea and it seems that donald trump is losing more friends his relationship with the german leader seems to be falling well short compared to his predecessor a peter all over now assessing the frosty friendship. what a difference four years could make to a political friendship back in twenty thirteen where the anglo merkel published election programme she referred to the united states as germany's most important friend however the most recent one low published ahead of the september's vote well somewhat downgraded the united states to the role of partner it all really highlights just how the relationship between angola merkel and the president of the united states has soured since donald trump replaced barack obama in the white
4:06 am
house and you can clearly see it in their reactions from base. to base. ok. when barack obama was president angular merkel was always there right beside him not just at the photo ops but also when it came to key policy points as well. from a german perspective the u.s. german and u.s. european relations are a core element of our foreign policy with september's election looming large her critics they slam her saying she isn't tough enough on trump the german chancellor must sometimes dare to be in conflict with the american president up to now she has only done that in abstract terms we have to take into consideration. angela merkel
4:07 am
is campaigning time at the moment so she has to look after the voters. with an antitrust policy program you can rather win. over emphasizing friendship and partnership with the united states it is not a policy shift that may last very long because you come. a manifesto makes it abundantly clear to the german voters that a vote cast for her as a vote cast against the policies and presidency of donald trump peter all of artsy berlin seems everything president does these days is soon turned into a meme as jacqueline berger explains despite some criticism this tactic could actually be a winner. donald trump hit back at criticisms that his tweets degrade the office of the president by posting an admission saying that his use of social media indeed isn't presidential but rather modern day presidential and while the critics out on
4:08 am
whether that's a good thing or not it's undeniable the man understands the power of the internet trump inspires me and trump creates me trump uses mediums and his twitter posts take the recent c.n.n. wrestling video he shared which was originally posted on reddit a popular viral news and discussion website. thanks that modern day presidential post caused an uproar in the traditional media president of the united states taking things way too far and as an incitement to violence he is going to get somebody killed in the media is an attempt to might be successful to drum up violence against journalists it's kind of behavior to lead to a journalist to be hurt it's no wonder that sixty percent of americans say they have little to no trust in the media and many are turning to social media to get their information a trend that trump has cottoned onto and when the mainstream media makes his every
4:09 am
tweet breaking news they're giving trump exactly what he wants i think you guys are getting played man i think every time he does this you guys overreact and i say you guys i mean the media in general you overreact and you play right into his hand whatever trump does they jump on it in a huge scrum he has used the media the social media is used. in twitter has been around for a while he's laying reimbursed everything they've got i don't like the dog in the circus it's used to make and they don't understand it and they right now are actually a very critical position in their life because american public has no faith in them whatsoever so it seems that's how trump when is a war with traditional media. through the magic. washington d.c. . in moscow less than thirteen hours remain for qatar to make his decision on
4:10 am
whether to submit to a list of thirteen demands made by its arab neighbors the gulf countries set a midnight tuesday deadline although they haven't said what exactly they will do if it does not comply now just for a moment here on the program on r.t. international let's have a quick look and see well what the demands are for example the list includes a cutting ties with iran and so-called terror groups hamas and hezbollah are also to close a turkish military base and also shut down news outlets of al-jazeera and middle east i moreover qatar is required to sever all contact with the political opposition of saudi arabia bahrain egypt and the united arab emirates so far however qatari officials have refused to budge this list of demands made to be a jerk to me and to be accepted or not made to be negotiated is not an easy
4:11 am
country to be the only one. we are ready we stand ready to defend. even though qatar is just a tiny spot on the map it is actually quite an influential player in the region the us has two big military bases and his capital and the big one day it right here that's the biggest u.s. base in the middle east turkey also uses qatar for its only military facility here just beyond its borders also doha partnering with iran runs the world's biggest natural gas field located on a shoreline that is a very important factor to remember political science professor anthony who is things this latest could lead to a full blown war that is not going to lead to peace. that is leading to more conflict escalation and a conflict and most probably. the war our world needs to know how evolution. is need to have new leadership leadership that is open
4:12 am
minded leadership that will accept the reality as it is we are not living in the seventh century anymore just hold affair this whole issue is not the worse it. to go into an escalated conflict. destruction thanks for joining us i thought the program here on our international russia's foreign ministry says it's not impressed with the latest american allegations of a chemical attack in syria those details and i'm a. here's what people have been saying about rejected and. the only show i go out of my way to. really packed a punch. is the john oliver of party americans do the same. apparently better than. i see people you've never heard of love back to the night
4:13 am
4:14 am
good to be with us today russia's foreign ministry has rejected claims syrian government forces have used chemical weapons in a new attack the allegation reportedly came from the main opposition force the so-called free syrian army and was posted in a tweet apparently linked to the group it claims government troops launched several toxic gas attacks on a rebel held areas in eastern suburb of damascus on the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman marie as a lot of us says she's not impressed by the latest accusations. the chemical show is gaining momentum the latest proof that an information campaign against damascus has begun is a message about talks against attacks in eastern guta a piece of paper created in line with all the rules of the western media and now this is the beginning of a chemical attack and condemns it but this is merely a prelude this is the second claim assad's forces have used chemical weapons since the u.s. warned that damascus was preparing such an attack and washington threatened to take
4:15 am
decisive action if that happened meanwhile we talked to syrian writer he lives very close to the area in damascus where the so-called toxic gases were reported he says there's no sign of any chemical weapons being used. but are in many areas. controlled by the state in syria that so close to the area of this man these terrorists claim. to have been helped by chemical weapons. just justin i am absolutely sure that. was not used and the syrians does not have they don't have it actually we foreseen it we've been expecting it from several areas their enemies of syria choose to have it in and out of it. israel has refused to allow
4:16 am
a palestinian teenager to leave gaza to receive medical treatment in jerusalem seventeen year old guy marie was shot and wounded by israeli forces during a protest near the gaza border in may. the. i went to the borders to protest against the siege and support the prisoners jerusalem's shot me in the hand and i fell down screaming my hand it's paralyzed i didn't feel the bullet and my stomach and when the doctor came out he took me to one side and said the situation my son was in was very serious he was expected to died any moment one of his kidneys was destroyed his intestines ribs his liver was badly damaged and twelve the answer has been cut. the reason for the denial of our request had nothing to do with security but
4:17 am
a new directive is surely a year ago to deny treatment israel to anyone injured near the eastern border areas look i can't raise my hand i can only raise it with the help of my other hand. israel said it was rejecting their requests for medical treatment because khaled was considered one of the main inciters of the riots that broke out on the border. italy along with france and germany have agreed to drop a code of conduct for charities operating rescue boats in the mediterranean the aim is that of a bringing under control the growing influx of migrants in the past few days alone up to twelve thousand people who arrived in italy from africa or more than eighty five thousand have landed bear in the country since the beginning of this year roma seeking financial help from its european neighbors fearing the growing number of
4:18 am
migrants raises the risk of terrorism with more reporting from sicily charlatans. italy says it's buckling under the strain as the my current crisis deepens anti terror and anti mafia national prosecutor franco robertie says that's in danger security those who arrive on the dinghies then undergo a process of radicalization that may lead to the realization of terror attacks. called the case of two new zealand and this a mary who drove a truck into crowds on the berlin christmas market last year i'm maria rived in italy on a migrant boat back in two thousand and eleven he was denied asylum in germany in two thousand and fifteen but was not deported a year later carried out the terror attack killing twelve people and injuring dozens more migrants and made their way across the mediterranean sea and landed on
4:19 am
the tally in the woods like this but italian authorities say they just want to cope and they've asked for more help you plan to parts while the majority of migrants unlikely to be those fleeing new and poverty the concern is that amongst them will be those who pose a threat to europe and that makes it to least cry for help directed at european leaders not just about italy alone but about the security of the whole human. italy has got this great. swarm of people from north africa from sub-saharan africa coming through libya in particular into italy what italy needs is some way in which can be a control over people crossing the mediterranean to italy that requires a kind of coast guard stroke naval presence backed up by the other european countries that's expensive they don't pay for it it leave needs help with housing feeding providing health care that's expensive the other european countries don't
4:20 am
want to pay for it and also italy has to ask itself is it just going to be lucky in the sense that other countries are seen terrorist attacks germany france belgium britain and so on italy so far has been massively spurred is that because the radical groups see italy as a useful conduit a country into the rest of europe or is it simply that they've been biding their time so also italy needs help with security. the founder of a liberal mosque in berlin has been placed under twenty four hour protection after receiving hundreds of death threats from muslims unlike in traditional mosques this one which was only open less than a month ago caters to muslims of all confessions as well as the gay community men and women are supposed to pray side by side which is normally forbidden if visitors are banned from wearing any full body garments like burkas indorse here on r.t. we spoke to the founder about the current situation. and i expect it's actually
4:21 am
action x. past is that not everyone would like in general of course i knew this man wouldn't give up patriarchy so easily because these are the pattern structures that we are attacking at the moment i've only got threats because i only feel east and so to speak the heart of the movement but this is a movement and people should know that we gauge reaction from mohammed shafique of the ramadan foundation. fourteen a good years of stomach history tellers that it's the man. who leads to prayer has to be male in the same way the roman catholic church suggests that the pope the head of the church of of rome has to be a man women are absolutely essential part of being involved in the mosque that the main pros have to be led by a man and any attempt to change that is distorting fourteen hundred years of stomach history and we reject up islam is relevant fourteen hundred years ago it's
4:22 am
relevant in the twenty first century to be relevant until the end of times you have to adapt to modern settings i except that you cannot change the principles of our faith and i think any attempt you know to use this you know the liberal elite in our societies who want to demonize islam they want to demonize and create division are not going to succeed. next the international will show you the negative side of tourism in some of europe's most iconic prices thanks for joining us today. people with stories to tell.
4:23 am
the story and sometimes. you see very little since. they're here to speak. their truth here. welcome to the wonderful world of blood donation i come here every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive in. my body gets and some bodies that i cannot produce itself around the world giving blood is seen as a symbol of generosity no one does this because it helps people it's just that one of the side effects is that it. applies more. to put money on your car immediately you don't have all plasma based drugs today come from a private company and are produced from paid plasma as well as. your own motor
4:24 am

4:26 am
the city has a hollywood backdrop the glamour is attracting even more tourists they may well bring in more money than cruise passengers who might buy an ice cream before scooting back to the ship and that all inclusive accommodations this sort of tourism in particular makes it difficult for cities to develop alternative concepts and as a village well knows she's researched the issue in other european cities as well. honest this nation mentioning it out of a question about is a problem a muslim to raise my. sentiments from and about yet in mcallen implemented only come in their motion with us. to solve them a vision. probably a global only talk coffee cup the norm in the bush was up her own sobs and suppose it's in the in the to toss me slow the other nine minutes that send them of their

own interest as only one language can govern and some that was sufficient of a management of almost finished months regret comic account or going to the post on the again these are. neck and neck of stars in the us and in the on the other. but what if the city no longer exists as a communal place for its inhabitants if it increasingly becomes a travel destination with global marketing potential what sort of inhabitants would the city then. either i'm not as missing something valuable probably a cultist to not sell something about them. but i don't mentor by you'll need this last and it's important to me to not accept any delegates. reality. with disastrous results dubrovnik is suffering a brain drain. the exodus of qualified workers and office their skills are simply
4:28 am

4:29 am
a snare which it does actually says will follow me and i don't need to lobby to mislead below that lead us on my mind usually and i didn't cheat which. one is the only but it should bless the united so we put us there because it is a wonder that you can see it. now twenty six year old diana hopes for a lot of tourists so she can make money with her idea please i'm definitely my mom for the going to dogs is the man as much missing as melkus that. what would happen but i think was like a good enough was if you pick a million for this on a monday night does the boss and i feel like. a smoke at the time you can help another motorist. the city is an exception there are a jumps here across the country a third of young people are unemployed and dubrovnik though to. prison has

completely disrupted social and economic structures the tourist guide here can earn more than a professor a cleaner more than a teacher who can blame young people from wanting to be on the winning side. yes because the age playfellows of the vote on the guy yet provided keep it indeed i spy a boyish that shadowed on the custom my brother acosta caught on board sat yet but if you know what all the others company mirasol to get out i'll see it all along that he made a little eco call a proposal like it out of a soil play almost. but it's me but on the morrow i'll see it tonight as a present or a career choice and he or she was going to always. get a magic an artifact. cola culture as a souvenir memories of the city merged with the brand what sucked woods to enterprise to brush nick. leverage off but i. didn't talk about numbers
4:31 am
it took about. power. but who's power is it how self determined can the city remain that increasingly sells itself the danger of being controlled by international investors and consortium's is great. but it's also in the nature of democratic cities that the citizens fight back. the venetians who remain are not giving up without a fight. they've been blocking the judaica canal nothing to our eyes preventing three cruise ships from leaving. politicians scientists and citizens action groups have been arguing for five years about alternative concepts. full cruise tourism but so far without success.

4:34 am
a moment that was the value. of the first issue because then i mean. there are many. many ways to. recall if you didn't sound. the most damage with. the intent to repeat the strategy. unesco has warned that this is state to this is a world cultural heritage site is threatened less measures to protect to look good or adopted soon the un commission comes itself to take action in this regard it can only make recommendations. but in this case such recommendations do not seem welcome. but if. the body. well partially the people who but feeling good she thought he

a businessman to run this country business because power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. growing mountains of rubbish constant arrivals and departures fords of tourists always following the same trail the city's visitors are becoming an anonymous mass which appears to be there only to bring in the money. professor young fundable who teaches the subject of economics or tourism at the university of venice he's looked behind the scenes of the tourist industry especially interested in the sectors labor market. if you look at sort of the structure of the tourism industry you see there's a lot of space for forty four more gray or black and of activities it means
4:44 am
people working in the kitchen without contracts and so forth a fact talking with people from the. tax office. pastis saying that. points out that naipaul's in venice are just cities where tax evasion is the high. where not even the city authorities know precisely how many tourists come it's hard to determine what income they actually generate. among the highest earners in venice on the gondoliers they make up to two hundred euros an hour but the number is limited to three hundred sixty making gondolier licenses highly sought after they're in the hands of a few families not in the gift of the city the authorities charge only forty euros a year for using the canals.
4:45 am
and they will go up to five hundred thousand euro was being paid from one on the day to the beginning and this money's been earned back in about five years time so yes. it's really difficult for you are about one in a thousand euro per year the strange thing is although it's if you did that the license exchanges and the table so there's no proof banks have been financing this kind of operate with and moved across the city tax is going to live on the basis of a notional income of just thirty five thousand euros no receipts are required but who's counting in such a romantic situation. what i love what i like it down to is supposed to lead us on a mission level those who are going to. see that i live in a speech alloca chamish integrity did. not

4:48 am
end of the line even a heads. up but i'm not certain what i mean. or not but to me that math. prevented descent that one. out of me that need be that level of alchemy to get george up oil that when guests arrive elizabeth cosigned house always meets them personally she explains with put the gum permitted in the building the. forty year old elizabeth applied for her letters license years ago it would no longer be possible in her she sees the city's control so this is a step in the wrong direction and out of the idea that the more us yeah but i and they. are going to what i said i think out of their home i hope but i do know that . they're pretty much. ok i guess idea and on day. that they

hear ya know coward are a good idea. though i doubt if the same. for the last say no fallujah and then. a paradox. this is evident. on the one hand tourists ostracized with slogans on the posters offloaded saying refugees welcome but the mass tourism has not come about by chance as the result of long term policies which on the one hand have canvas for more a move to walk on the other hand have the years failed to invest in either affordable homes all subsidized housing at the expense of its citizens. and dubrovnik to some people who are prepared to accept the situation in the old quarter. member of an environmental party is fighting against the plan to extend the hog and lease it out to

day here we have. a multi-billion dollar deals are on the table. talks are already underway today. what's being discussed. yesterday was more of a casual affair an informal meeting as well as a dinner the real deal though is today on the table twelve billion dollars worth of deals as well as twenty bilateral documents covering too many things to mention and lie to me a putin and big old hands at this they've met more than twenty times six times last year this is that. many of their foreign policies and foreign outlooks
5:02 am
international outlook very similar if not identical including those on north korea and its alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons as well as the means to deliver them ballistic missiles north korea and also south korea where the united states is in the process of stationing a part of its missile shield which russia and china worry about they say that it sees too much and does nothing to stop to stop north korea also today putin will be awarding xi jinping one of russia's highest on another one for the memory books.
5:03 am
chinese businessman who told me that ice cream is very much enjoyed here as i promised to i've drawn whole blocks of russian icecream. well the thing is a visit to russia comes at a time when china's relations with the u.s. are on shaky ground that's after beijing had to order military vessels on jets to warn off an american warship which according to china violated its territorial waters in the south china sea and north korea meanwhile is another key area of contention between the u.s.
5:04 am
and china. are about to get another missile test launching it towards the sea of japan donald trump has tweeted demonic from china a move on north korea with a broader perspective by now has been looking at where things have been going wrong between beijing and washington remember the famous chocolate cake that donald trump used to woo the chinese leader we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen president she was enjoying it was the first time that trump and she met with trump putting on a grill and a dinner for she which also featured granddaughter singing a song for she and chinese. well that was back in april sense then charm offensive seems to have falter here's how the chinese foreign ministry sees it. president xi explicitly pointed out that china u.s. relations have made great progress in the recent days but it has also been affected
5:05 am
by factors a fair few such factors actually unlike the u.s. accusing china of being a top human trafficking offender. graded to tears three status in this year's report because it has not taken serious steps to end its own complicity in trafficking and washington's plan to sell one point four billion dollars in arms to taiwan which china regards as a breakaway province didn't exactly go down well either time isn't. alienable parts of china and the u.s. weapons sales to taiwan violates international law as well as the basic forms of international relations china firmly opposes it's. another thing that china firmly opposes the installation of american missiles right on its doorstep the deployment of the u.s. missile defense system in south korea does serious damage to the strategic security interests of all countries in the region including china and russia and disrupts the regional strategic balance well it looks like relations between beijing and
5:06 am
washington won't be seeing any major reset but how big of a blow is that to china right now china's president xi is in moscow both china and russia would like to. demonstrate a common interest you can be a. deteriorating relations with the united states both understand that donal's from administration. a serious fact of uncertainty and daydreaming very cautious demonstration. in china and russia is seen to be beneficial under both the this despite trumps attempt to be best buddies with she a while ago it looks like the geo political set up hasn't really changed just like under obama the two eurasian superpowers seem to be getting along pretty well while the united states is distancing itself and distrusting both of them. are seeing new york. seeing with donald trump is losing more friends his relationship with the
5:07 am
german leader seems to be falling well short of his predecessor. peter all of a has been assessing the frosty friendship. what a difference four years could make to a political friendship back in twenty thirteen where the anglo merkel published election programme she referred to the united states as germany's most important friend however the most recent one low published ahead of the september's vote well somewhat downgraded the united states to the role of partner it all really highlights just how the relationship between angola merkel and the president of the united states has soured since donald trump replaced barack obama in the white house and you can clearly see it in their reactions from base. to base. ok.
5:08 am
when barack obama was president angular merkel was always there right beside him not just at the photo ops but also when it came to key policy points as well. that's also a child from a german perspective the u.s. german and u.s. european relations are a core element of our foreign policy with september's election looming large her critics they slam her saying she isn't tough enough on trump the german chancellor must sometimes do to be in conflict with the american president up to now she has only done that in abstract terms we have to take into consideration. angela merkel is campaigning time at the moment so she has to look after the voters. and. policy program you can rather well not so over emphasizing
5:09 am
friendship and partnership with the united states it is not a policy shift that may last very long because you come. a manifesto makes it abundantly clear to the german voters that a vote cast her as a vote cast against the policies and presidency of donald trump peter all of artsy berlin well it seems that everything president does these days is soon turned into a meme as artie's jacqueline explains despite some criticism this tactic may actually be a winner. don't trump hit back at criticisms that his tweets degrade the office of the president by posting an admission saying that his use of social media indeed isn't presidential but rather modern day presidential and while the critics out on whether that's a good thing or not it's undeniable the man understands the power of the internet trump inspires me and trump creates me trump uses mediums and his twitter post take the recent c.n.n. wrestling video he shared which was originally posted on reddit
5:10 am
a popular viral news and discussion website. thanks that modern day presidential post caused an uproar in the traditional media president of the united states taking things way too far and as an incitement to violence he is going to get somebody killed in the media is an attempt to might be successful to drum up violence against journalists it's kind of behavior to lead to a journalist to be hurt it's no wonder that sixty percent of americans say they have little to no trust in the media and many are turning to social media to get their information a trend that trump has cottoned onto and when the mainstream media makes his every tweet breaking news they're giving trump exactly what he wants i think you guys are getting played man i think every time he does this you guys overreact and i say you guys i mean the media in general you overreact and you play right into his hand
5:11 am
whatever trump does they jump on it in a huge scrum he has used the media the social media is used. in twitter's been around for a while he's laying reimbursed everything they've got i don't like let the dog in the circus it's use to me and they don't understand it and they right now are actually a very critical position in their life because american public has no faith in them which allowed for so it seems that's how trump when is a war with traditional media. through the magic. washington d.c. . now less than twelve hours remain for qatar to make its decision on whether to submit to a list of thirteen demands made by its arab neighbors the gulf country set a midnight tuesday deadline although they haven't said what measures they would take if it does not comply and so it just for a moment here on the program international let's go back down the list and see what
5:12 am
those demands are for example and look at the demands including cutting ties with iran and so-called terror groups such as a hamas and hezbollah are also one of the issues to close a military base also though to shut down news outlets such as al-jazeera and middle east i moreover qatar is required to sever all contact with the political opposition in saudi arabia bahrain egypt and the united arab emirates so far however the officials have refused to budge. this list of. made to be rejected it's not made to be accepted or not made to be negotiated is not an easy country to be the one. we are ready we stand ready to defend our country even though it is just a tiny spot on the map it is actually quite an influential player in the region and the us has two military bases near its capital one of which this one the data base
5:13 am
is america's largest in the middle east turkey also has an air base here a military base the only one beyond its borders also doha partnering with iran runs the biggest natural gas field here it's located off its shoreline this is a very important factor to remember now political science professor and. things so this latest raul could ultimately blow up into a war that is not going to lead to peace that is leading to more conflict escalation in the conflict. probably. the war our word needs to evolution. is need to have new leadership leadership that is open minded leadership that would accept reality as it is we are not living in the seventh century anymore just hold our say this whole issue is not the worst sit to go into an escalated
5:14 am
5:15 am
in case you're new to the game this is how. the economy is built around corporate corp washington washington media the media. business to run this country business. it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. quarter past the hour here in moscow russia's foreign ministry has rejected claims syrian government forces have used chemical weapons and a new attack the allegation reportedly came from the main opposition force the so-called free syrian army and was posted in
5:16 am
a tweet apparently linked to the group it claims government troops launched several toxic gas attacks on a rebel held areas in an eastern suburb of damascus but the russian foreign ministry spokeswoman marie as a lot of us says she's not impressed by the latest accusations. the chemical show is gaining momentum the latest proof that an information campaign against damascus has begun is a message about talks against attacks in eastern guta a piece of paper created in line with all the rules of the western media an ounce is the beginning of a chemical attack and condemns it but this is merely a prelude this is the second claim assad's forces have used chemical weapons since the u.s. warned that damascus was preparing such an attack washington threatened to take it immediate action if that happened meanwhile we talked to a syrian writer who lives very close to the area in damascus reportedly targeted by the gases he says there's no sign that any chemical weapons have been used but are
5:17 am
in many areas. controlled by the state in syria that so close to the area of this fire these terrorists claim. to have been helped by chemical weapons. in damascus just i am absolutely sure that. was not used and the syrians does not have they don't have that actually we foreseen it we've been expecting it for themselves as their enemies of seeing the truth. to have it in and out of that. israel has refused to allow a palestinian teenager to leave gaza to receive medical treatment in jerusalem seventeen year old hollywood glamour he was shot and wounded by israeli forces during a protest near the gaza border in may. the.
5:18 am
i went to the borders to protest against the siege and support the prisoners and jerusalem's shot me in the hand and i fell down screaming my hand and it's paralyzed i didn't feel the bullet and my stomach. when the doctor came out he took me to one side and said that the situation my son was in was very serious he was expected to die any moment one of his kidneys was destroyed his intestines ribs his liver was badly damaged in twelve the answer he's been cut. the reason for the denial of our request had nothing to do with security but a new directive is surely a year ago to deny treatment israel to anyone injured near the eastern border areas look i can't raise my hand i can only raise it with the help of my other hand.
5:19 am
israel said it was over objecting the request for medical treatment because her leaders considered one of the main inciters of the riots that broke out on the border. italy along with france and germany have agreed to drop a code of conduct for charities operating rescue boats in the mediterranean with the aim of bringing under control the growing influx of migrants in the past few days alone up to twelve thousand people have arrived in italy from africa more than eighty five thousand have landed there in the country since the start of this year and rome is seeking financial help from its european neighbors fearing the growing number of migrants raises the risk of terrorism reporting from sicily artie's charlatans. italy says it's buckling under the strain as the my current crisis deepens anti terror and anti mafia national prosecutor franco robertie says
5:20 am
that's in danger security those who arrive on the dinghies then undergo a process of radicalization that may lead to the realization of terror attacks group called the case of two new zealand and this a mary who drove a truck into crowds on the berlin christmas market last year amery arrived in italy on a migrant boat back in two thousand and eleven he was denied asylum in germany in two thousand and fifteen but was not deported a year later carried out the terror attack killing twelve people and injuring dozens more migrants and made their way across the mediterranean sea and landed on that's highly importance like this but italian authorities say they just want to cope and they've asked for more help counterparts while the majority of migrants unlikely to be those fleeing new and poverty the concern is that amongst them will
5:21 am
be those who pose a threat to europe and that makes it to least cry for help directed at european leaders not just about italy alone but about the security of the whole european union. italy has got this great. swarm of people from north africa from sub-saharan africa coming through libya in particular into italy what italy needs is some way in which there can be a control over people crossing the mediterranean to italy that requires a kind of coast guard stroke naval presence backed up by the other european countries that's expensive they don't pay for it italy needs help with housing feeding providing health care that's expensive the other european countries don't want to pay for it and also italy has to ask itself is it just going to be lucky in the sense that other countries are seen terrorist attacks germany france belgium britain and so on italy so far has been massively spurred is that because the radical groups see italy as a useful conduit
5:22 am
a country into the rest of europe or is it simply that they've been biding their time so also italy needs help with security. the founder of a liberal mosque in berlin has been placed on a twenty four hour protection after receiving hundreds of death threats from muslims unlike in traditional model this one which was only open less than a month ago has the muslims of all confessions as well as the gay community men and women are supposed to pray side by side which is normally forbidden and visitors are banned from wearing any full body garments like burkas indoors and we spoke to the founder about the current situation. and i expect it's actually action xpect is that not everyone would like in general of course i knew that man wouldn't give up patriarchy so easily because these are the pattern and structures that we are attacking at the moment i've only got threats because i only feel east and so to speak the heart of them but this is
5:23 am
a movement and people should know that. because reaction from mohammed chaffee of the ramadan foundation. fourteen hundred years of the stomach history tell is that it's the man. who leads to prayer has to be mill in the same way the roman catholic church suggests that the pope the head of the church of of rome has to be a man women are absolutely essential part of being involved in the mosque that the main pros have to be led by a man and any attempt to change that is distorting fourteen hundred years of stomach history and we reject up islam is relevant fourteen hundred years ago it's relevant in the twenty first century to be relevant until the end of times you have to adapt to modern settings i accept that but you cannot change the principles of our faith and i think any attempt you know to use this you know the liberal elite in our societies who want to demonize islam they want to demonize and create
5:24 am
division are not going to succeed. well the latest additional bust coming your way next. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us actually just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of party americans do the same we are apparently better than. the c. people you've never heard of love redacted tonight not the president of the world bank so take. me seriously send us an e-mail. what politicians do. you put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected.
5:25 am
so when you want to be president. some who want to be rich. have to going to be pressed to see what will befall three of them or can't be good. i'm interested in the waters of. course should. define the character and care designed to kill people because if it is doing its job just like the architects of the ground tell tower in london and the folks that put up the flammable cladding to kill people that's their culpability and that the people who have designed this health care are doing so to come people that's their culpability in the capitalist system in america iterated by the current regime of kleptocrats thanks killing people is necessary to make payments in greenwich connecticut.
5:26 am
he had to sustain. a few. on the cheap but then you want to come through stuff but the idea is the right to own your computer use it to beat you every day but. we've discovered something this is what we don't understand how we are in such a country. doesn't answer to the ones at the same time because it was going to be a. similar. job a good one. but i just. got believe that with the phone the computer with the flame. would come back to the three story you have to see. the best.
5:27 am
to. you. hey there i'm lindsay friend the boss broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. tonight the institute of international finance says the global debt now rests at three hundred twenty seven percent of the world's annual economic output we look at who may be at fault here also italy have borne the brunt of the refugee crisis it's now fred to slam the brakes on accepting more in the midst of its own economic crisis my guests and i talk about guaranteed government jobs versus federal basic and conversely the current welfare system we delve into the ideas thrown around and whether any real change is likely to take place standby starts right now.
5:28 am
goldman sachs is making big changes to the front page of its website it's now included an explanation of block chain to potential customers the firm describes block chain a series of recorded digital transactions as a technology of trust saying that it will combine the openness of the internet with security of cryptography there's been good reason though for a lot of caution for crypto currencies they're still comparatively untested and volatile on top of this they're currently decentralized entities making them susceptible to massive cyber attacks and privacy invasion. full days ago the chiefs
5:29 am
of major tech firms converged on the white house for a party of sorts to discuss technologies impacts on the economy workforce and federal id infrastructure as well as emerging technology some big wigs showed up much to the chagrin of customers employees pundits and protesters including the ever present resist movement my guest says this protest approach is counterproductive and that it's losing steam when facing big business and big money i sat down with patrice on luke a senior fellow at the independent women's forum to discuss when we consider that there was. kind of a campaign to get the c.e.o.'s not to come to washington d.c. last week for the tax summit and they still came and we're talking about chess pieces from amazon we're talking about tim cook at it from apple like some really big names were in the room and we rewind back to last fall even after the election
5:30 am
before the election one hundred fifty c.e.o.'s in the tech sector they signed an open letter. only against president trump. the candidate trying to time and you know we saw some big names also kind of sit out some of the white house early white house discussions around tack and business leaders. he resigned. for a number of mistreatment accusations but i think what we're seeing is these c.e.o.'s are looking at not just the short term but the long term you know this administration is pushing forward with a pretty aggressive agenda and they want to not be left out of the table left out of the discussions they want to be a part of shaping the policy and i think it's important to realize here these are not nonprofits these are big business guys a lot of them are great places to work they have great benefits they're coming out with progressive products but they're not a nonprofit they want to capitalize and move forward and they're going to do this and i think that a lot of people take their progressive message and don't want to actually realize
5:31 am
that this is business and in all its ugly forms would you agree with that well i mean think about what companies exist for for profit and that's not a bad thing in your service making money exactly where enriching the lives of consumers like us you know and so they're thinking through you know when you look at some of the items that are coming out infrastructure there's a huge the opportunity for broadband access or expansion across the country so if you're interested in that that's an area for you to be the internet of things. there is a really interesting movement to think about how do we shape policy around that and if you're thinking if you're an amazon if you're a big company that is producing. products that are wired products that are connected to the internet products that are making people's lives better but leverage infrastructure you don't want to be on the back end of hearing about policy changes that are going to fundamentally affect your business model and if you don't do it someone's going to do it and if you do it right you can be instilling confidence in your customers in
5:32 am
a lot of people so let's talk about the optics here we've seen people bow out. of you know that sort of inner circle is what trump is trying to gather because of the optics what customers say whatever their employees say how do you think how important is that going forward for these people as you said candidate trump you know brought those people into the room after he was elected. how do you think this is either going to. roll off people's bags or if they're still going to take it seriously as far as the c.e.o.'s meeting in the room sort of turns i mean there is they they're thinking again about what they're trying to accomplish you know from a business perspective and so i'm not going to downplay the importance of employee satisfaction employees perspectives and even their customers perspectives i mean a revolt by your customers can have a huge impact on what you decide to do you or what invitations to the white house you decide to take but they're thinking through things like tax reform which silicon valley has been pushing for because they're thinking about all the money that the revenue they earn overseas and how to bring it back here then it states
5:33 am
without having a huge tax burden tax bill so they're thinking ok we have an opportunity here to not just increase our bottom line but also allow us to expand our businesses by getting on the ground floor when it comes to these policy discussions you along with what you've said you know apple gets maybe less than one percent business tax in ireland right we've got. the head of apple ten cook talking about really liking some of donald trump's agenda ideas meanwhile mark zuckerberg attend these meetings that ironic to you because. ireland's getting it ireland is giving out a great deal still he wants in on this well the official statement is that there was a conflict of interest for mr zuckerberg you know i do think it was interesting that we didn't see as twitter's c.e.o. there we didn't see facebook c.e.o. there and these are very big media companies you know i think they're making a calculated decision about you know. going to whether to go it alone whether you
5:34 am
decide which show up to where do you send your maybe your. lobbyist to rather than yourself being in a photo op with the president so if you think that all of your patronage here. you will him something he says oh we're going to work with you but you owe me this. president is not known to have said that do you think people are a bit gun shy if they were eventually with president obama for the same reason then they would be but i don't see that i don't see that and when you look at the obama administration president obama worked really closely with silicon valley he had to call in the tech cops the techies to rescue health care dot gov the obamacare website when it when it crashed and so there's there's always been that kind of relationship i think what last week's meeting did not just from a policy perspective was from a relationship healing perspective you know to say you know this silicon valley needs to be part of the idea of modernizing washington d.c. and its tech infrastructure but also you know thinking through how are these
5:35 am
policies that are coming out of washington would affect us. since the beginning of your regular crisis it's italy that mostly bore the brunt after years of feeling ignored by the e.u. the mediterranean country. is now threatening to stop accepting refugees after she joins me in the studio for more on that bianca hasn't the number of refugees actually relatively decreased over the years it has so you know compared to twenty sixteen and twenty fifteen the amount of refugees going to europe has dropped but a majority of the ones that have traveled in twenty seventeen to europe have gone to italy so italy isn't feeling relief like other e.u. nations are which is why if they're looking at different methods to deal with it now because of its location italy has always acted as an entry point to europe for refugees but for the past few years the sheer amount of refugees arriving has taken
5:36 am
a toll so big that the government is threatening to shutdown the ports the possibility was discussed at a meeting between the sorry serves as italy's ambassador to the e.u. and e.u. migration commissioner dimitris ever marvelous in a statement said quote italy is right when it comes to being when it comes to the situation being untenable in fact just over ninety two thousand refugees arrived to europe by sea in two thousand and seventeen of that total almost eighty four thousand of them ended up in italy so most people would agree that the italians need a break but closing off the ports for refugees might not be an easy fix disembarkation is governed by international law which could make for complicated legal problems ahead the move would also for ships to change their sailing routes in particular vessels the coast guard frontex and nations participating in the anti-smuggling
5:37 am
mission operation sophia could technically be banned too it's a situation that would definitely concern the united nations considering the criminal activity that's forest in the wake of the crisis earlier this year the un's migration agency or into refugees being sold at modern day slave auctions in libya it's not just the threat of human traffickers that refugees have to worry about despite the best efforts of aid organizations that conditions at official and unofficial refugee centers are often understaffed with very little resources but at a meeting next week migration officials are expected to discuss italy's dilemma and figure out what to do. figure out what to do it's going to be more complicated than people thought it was like hello are here according to our president how the aid groups responded to this big efforts they're also hemmed in by a lot of laws so all the aid groups are clearly very program except and so they're disappointed by hearing italy saying that they might not accept as many refugees as
5:38 am
they have been for the past few years i don't think it's much of a surprise because italy in addition to greece have really been incredibly overwhelmed compared to the other nations so it's not that they can say they're totally shocked by it but you know these aid groups are saying the reason we have to bring the men is because if we don't we risk them all drowning out at sea and then we're spending our time doing their worst risk exactly so you know they're not happy about it and i think they're definitely going to be involved in talks moving forward with the e.u. officials but they would you know it's not the best situation right now but they certainly don't want to turn any people away of course the u.n. announced that lots of syrians for turn to their homes what can you tell us about that it's an interesting little even think about it is but four hundred forty thousand syrians have returned home after being internally displaced so these are people that didn't end up leaving the country they just had to run out of their
5:39 am
affairs in the road over. well that and in addition to that thirty one thousand who did actually of the country went back so it's a very small odd glimmer of hope i mean it's good to hear these things but as we know syria is just in most parts not safe to go back to so it's partially good news but still concerning for most aid groups and the e.u. yeah that's that's a very surprising news about that thank you so much. we're going to head to break now but stick around because when we get back the institute of international finance of the global that now rests at three hundred twenty seven percent of the world annual economic. boom bust is back in a month. people with stories to tell are. those who deserve to be heard.
5:40 am
it's still the new york city. users. you see first since. they're here to speak are you there to hear. with this manufactured sentenced to public will. when the writing closes and protect themselves. with the flaming. lips and be the one person. in the middle of the room sick. to lose. you really. love. you. there won't be cheap but
5:41 am

borrowing sprees in the developing world has spurred a surge in global debt levels to a record two hundred seventeen trillion dollars according to the institute of international finance this has positioned global debt at three hundred twenty seven percent of global economic output or g.d.p. as one of the most authoritative trackers of capital flows the i f f warns that three trillion dollars in a job now creates a danger of short term debt repayments to emerging markets according to the i.a.f.f. in some cases this sharp debt build up has already started to become a drag on sovereign credit profiles including countries such as china and canada for its part china accounted for two trillion dollars of this rise for the. now
5:43 am
nearly thirty three trillion dollars this coincides with the continued d. leveraging of advanced economies cutting total public and private debt by over two trillion in the past year. and the center for american progress a huge think tank on the left is pushing expanded government employment programs could be a great tool for training and employing a much needed skilled labor force in the united states but some fear it could create a large and ineffective government bureaucracy handing out jobs that aren't adding value meanwhile others argue that universal basic income is the remedy to the current state of an ineffective welfare system but my gas. economics professor and program director at bard college points out the flaws in this and then lays out a plan check it out to jump into proposal is not a new proposal so i'm very encouraged that they have embraced the language and some of the rationale but it seems like what they're proposing is
5:44 am
a bit more modest than what the actual job guarantee is the job period is a permanent standby a policy that often is directed to the unemployed in good times and in bad so even if the peak of the economic cycle we have about two people per every job opening so we'd need an employment program that will capture those unemployed people as well they're targeting him by the four point four million jobs and that seems rather small. yeah. to say the very least and right now unemployment according to statistics isn't the worst we've had but it's still not great and that's that's much more than than we need out there now is if you want to train and start apprenticeships fine but they don't guarantee private sector jobs for us to meet we need about twenty million full time jobs in today's world to have that number right what do you think about that yes some of my
5:45 am
colleagues i believe economics institute have done a recent study that does the full count. we're looking at anywhere between twelve to twenty million full time jobs a shortage of twenty twelve to twenty million so we need to account for people who have left the labor force right after the crisis people who are working part time but need full time work. other people who are invisible to us there is pent up demand for jobs even among caregivers simply because there aren't well paying jobs and so if we were to look at really the demand for jobs we're looking at much bigger numbers well tell me about these public jobs what number acquire an increase in government projects funding bureaucracy we know anything right now. the right political right is taking over elections in this country we just saw for a special elections the democrats are zero for four obviously the presidential
5:46 am
election was it was one thing how do you think the american people would ever think that increasing government projects to offer employment would work because that sounds like what it would require to keep people publicly employed not just trained . all right i think that if anything this last election told us that people want jobs i mean that israel heart of their economic anxiety there are other issues without a doubt but with respect to our policy agenda going forward people need work and so . given what we are already doing and how little we have how meager the expansion has been how. few jobs we've been able to create people i think are hungry for a lot more aggressive approach so are these going to be government jobs they can be federally funded but they can be locally administered they can be administered by a nonprofit social interpret ventures there are many ways in which we can do this
5:47 am
what's important to keep in mind is that this is a policy that compliments private sector employment the government already spends in countless cyclical ways in other words when the economy is bad the government already provides a considerable amount of stimulus but if we were to do it through job guarantee we will simply be providing jobs to people who have been laid off that provides the stimulus to the economy we essentially eliminate jobless recoveries and as the economy recovers then people transition into private sector employment so in a sense we're not changing the function of government we already do counter cyclical spending except we don't know how much we need to spend because we don't directly employ people but doesn't the sound a bit like i mean you're going to have to agree increase public funding for
5:48 am
jobs are thieves jobs worth less do we need them is there a demand for these jobs are you just creating jobs where. you know so that someone can pack a lunch and go to work every day and come home with a paycheck which we all know is very important people have pride in work and a lot of people unemployed want that but can we just go about willy nilly creating jobs to guarantee a job and if not that is the word job guarantee a bit misleading it's a guarantee in the sense that if somebody needs work we will provide a project that will employ them above poverty i've argued for a living wage so in that sense it's basically a promise that's what it means to be a get and but job then a job guarantee what kind of jobs would those be out what will project we're talking about we talked about building needed infrastructure are we talking about administrator or someone working in the you know the state highway program like in my state and they pay people fifty thousand dollars a year to do p.r.
5:49 am
and make new pamphlets i mean i know people that do that and it's not necessarily something that's really needed but we do need road workers so i guess what i'm asking is these projects that people are being trained for what what what's an idea of some of those types of projects. so there are lots of socially useful attribute is that just go unfulfilled i mean if you just look at the care gaps whether it's elder care whether is child care whether it's community care i mean we have a lot of public squalor these jobs are for the public purpose these are socially useful jobs there are many many things that we can think of whether they're small environmental jobs like renewal cleanup whether they are small infrastructure jobs whether they are again care care work there isn't a shortage of things that we need to get done but what we also know is that unemployment imposes enormous costs on society and we are already paying for
5:50 am
unemployment we estimate that we are foregoing we're giving up about half a billion to ten billion dollars about her day because we tolerate high unemployment now this is already paid for we are also enormous costs that are associated with unemployment whether this these are health costs whether this is crime with its incarceration whether it is the urban blight and the poverty that we have to address this is paid for what i'm suggesting is that if we were to do a direct employment program that provides people with decent work decent pay doing useful public projects that will reduce significantly the enormous costs that we already bear right and a lot of people as you say you can fold that into. two trades and you know engineering refrigeration even all of these things that that so many people even
5:51 am
with high school educations can vocational training method i'm trying to say valuable vocational training that so many people can't really get a hold on if the government maybe as you said funded those things it would add so much to the projects we need now i want to talk also about what cap is targeting as an unemployment rate of our i'm sorry apply employment rate of seventy nine percent of the prime age working group that's nice do you think that's even possible. i think it is possible i i wouldn't necessarily think that this is the appropriate target i think the target is to provide work to those who need it what about the population that is not prime working age if we were to look at the national unemployment rate most economists believe that we are already at full employment but if you actually look at county level unemployment you will find that their pockets around the country some surprising areas in fact that are not michigan or ohio that suffer from persistent ongoing depression levels of unemployment
5:52 am
and this is ongoing even in good times so if i were to do it i will simply provide open ended job offer and i will target the program to these distressed communities some of these distressed communities may have elderly workers that still need work some might have young workers that have very high unemployment rates so the way that i would go about this is simply providing in a targeted way a job opportunity to anyone who wants it then people can voluntarily select into the program and only then can we know really what is the appropriate employment to population ratio that we will end up with i think the most the thing that would actually sell this is if you the american people understood what these jobs were how much they were needed and they weren't just trying to find someone something to do for a paycheck i want to talk about
5:53 am
a universal basic income it solves affects the social welfare you say this concept is essentially a trojan horse can you explain that to me. well it's a giant voucher program the universal basic income promises. paycheck to anyone whether they work or not whether they're rich or poor whether the economy is doing well or not on ongoing basis so it is popular with the right because it is seen as a replacement to existing welfare programs it is popular with the corporate sector because if that represents if that actually leads to replacing some programs that might lead to privatization of some public functions so we have this model where the corporate sector doesn't have any incentive or impetus to provide decent pay because this represents a subsidy why should a company provide let's say health benefits if somebody has a basic income voucher that can you know buy health care on the market why should
5:54 am
we provide high pay or high wages if there is that other additional income that one could supposedly use to provide for themselves so it is a subsidy now compare this to the job guarantee the job here and he provides a decent work at dissin pay if the private sector wants to hire a person in an expansion from this program they will have to match that wage benefit package and so that becomes an effective minimum wage for the economy and this could be very interesting if we hear more as this possibly develops maybe not of what these jobs would be to fill in these communities and even in their urban urban blight areas that there's there's the jobs have fled the opportunities have fled what could be created there thank you so much for coming on and talking to me about this forgot to bring you want to talk about this more very soon probably not . associate professor of economics and migrant chair at bard college thank you.
