right here in. washington.

a very well welcome to you from all of us here at. multibillion dollar deals are on the table. right here in moscow for an official two day visit program for today has already kicked off and. more on what's being discussed. today 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. last year this is that. many of their foreign policies and foreign outlooks 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 selves 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.

chinese is the man who told me that ice cream is very much enjoyed as i promised to my frock you'll pull the box of russian icecream. so north korea will also be on the agenda of the g. twenty summit later this week after. another missile test launching it towards the sea of japan north korea claims it tested an intercontinental missile however russia's defense ministry says it was only a medium range missile and has tweeted his reaction from china a heavy move on. let's discuss this further now the international and our

international human rights lawyer joining us here on the program good to see you today. after north korea's latest missile test ultimately encouraging china to quote. what do you make of his call and do you think beijing is on the same page. i think beijing views this in a larger and longer context and as you know north korea several years ago has agreed to stop development of its weapons and nuclear weapons if other countries did the same and i think beijing is a little bit more cautious than countries like the united states are in how they react to north korea i think it is a concern for them but i think that their reaction is a little bit more strategically. the new accordance with what international law

requires than perhaps some of the states that are willing to react in a knee jerk reaction so you say you say beijing perhaps is a little held back when it comes to some sort of a reaction to north korea but as you know it in recent weeks in the past couple of months a small handful of american aircraft carriers have been sent to that region is it possible that washington could take unilateral action against. well i think with the current administration just about anything is possible so i think that is a great fear but i think that that is a fear as large a fear for countries like china and perhaps russia as action or development of nuclear weapons further by north korea is what some might say that with russia china and japan ultimately being regional neighbors in that part of the world they might have reason as you say to be concerned about the missile tests from pyongyang one point might be that the distance from washington d.c. to pyongyang is almost exactly seven thousand miles with that distance why is washington getting so involved. think the united states. concern about north

korea is not really a concern about security and the threat of attack as we know it with the united states's exercise so it's usual force around the world that in ways that are probably in accordance with international law. or by most people viewed as a violation of international law even when the united states itself admitted that these countries had no possibility of launching attacks against united states i think it is more an issue of political strategy and i think that us that concerns countries like the ones you just mentioned japan russia and china as much as the actions by the north koreans themselves because we know the russian and chinese leaders are meeting right now here in moscow jingping is here in the russian capital we understand that north korea is on the agenda of all of the discussions any potential expectations that you might perhaps want to see coming out of these

talks but i think everybody would like to see bigley international lawyers a movement towards disarmament as we speak now in your at the u.n. the united nations headquarters in new york there are discussions going on about nuclear disarmament not only for north korea but more largely for all the states that have nuclear weapons and at least kerby the proliferation of these weapons within those states and outside those states i think that people would like to see as the leaders of some of these countries including russia and china have indicated that it would be a good thing for us to move away from. building up strong urge to clear arsenals although actions not always follow these suggestions but i think we need to d.l. of eight the situation and some of the actions taken by states like the united states have not been helpful in trying to de elevate the level law.

possible errors or possible actions that could be very harmful and to not actually rights lawyer but i joining us live here an ati international thank you so much for your time and insight today thank you you thank. well as things visit here to russia does come at a time when china's relations with the u.s. are on shaky ground that's after beijing ordered military vessels and jets to ward off an american warship which according to china violated its territorial waters in the south china sea on a broader perspective. 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 that was the first time that trump and she met with trump putting on a grand dinner for she which also featured trump's granddaughter singing

a song for she in chinese. well that was back in april sense then trump's charm offensive seems to a faltering 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 by some negative factors a fair few such factors actually unlike the u.s. accusing china of being a top human trafficking offender china was downgraded to tear three status in this year's report in part 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. in alienable parts of china and the us weapons sales to taiwan violates international laws as well as the

basic phones of international relations china firmly opposes it simply it's another thing that china firmly opposes is the insulation 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 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. nations of the united states both understand that donal's from administration. a serious fan of uncertainty and daydreaming very cautious demonstration or solidarity between china and russia is

seen to be beneficial on the polls. despite trump's attempt to be best buddies was she a while ago looks like the geo political setup 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. r.t. new york does seem that donald trump is losing over more friends his relationship with the german leader seems to be falling rather well pretty far away from that compared to his predecessor. to a political friendship like in twenty thirty when i published a. programme she referred to the united states as germany's most important friend however the most recent well no published ahead of the september's vote well has somewhat downgraded the united states to the role of. 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. to this. when barack obama was president of the merkel was always there right beside him not just at the photo ops but also when it came to policy points as well. from a german perspective the u.s. german. 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 but that will move so she has to look after the voters. and anti trump policy program you can run. over emphasize the french shoot the partnership with the united states it is not a policy shift or me last very long because you campaign manifesto makes it abundantly clear to the german voters that our vote cast her as a vote cast against the policies and presidency of donald trump peter all of our t berlin. less than eleven 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 countries set a midnight tuesday deadline although they haven't said what measures they might

take if qatar of does not comply so we're just for a moment here on the program one hour to go international let's go back down the list of what these demands actually are the list includes for example cutting ties with iran so-called and its terrorist groups hamas and hezbollah also to closer turkish military base and also attack the media by shutting down al-jazeera and middle east i moreover it is required to sever all contact with the political opposition in saudi arabia bahrain egypt the united arab emirates so far however qatar the officials have refused to budge. this list of. made to be rejected to be accepted or not made to be negotiated is not an easy country to be the only one. we are ready we stand ready to defend our country even though it is just a tiny actually quite an influential player in the region of the us has two

military bases near its capital one of which the base right here is the biggest u.s. base in the middle east also turkey uses qatar has only military facility here from beyond its borders. partnering with iran happens to run the world's biggest natural gas fields right here located off the shoreline that's a very important factor to remember in our political science professor anthony things this latest could ultimately lead to a full full blown war that is not going to lead to peace that is leading to a war conflict escalation and a conflict. probably a war out of world needs. evolution. need to have new leadership leadership that is open minded leadership that will accept the reality as it is we are not living in the seventh century anymore just hold.

this whole issue is not the worse it. to go into an escalated conflict. self-destruction. after the. dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles. that you saw try to tell you that will be gossiping probably but. i'm telling you you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that along the gulf. the pharmacare health care designed to kill people because it is doing its job just like the architects of the gravel tower in london and the folks that put up the

flammable cladding to kill people that's their culpability and the people who have designed this health care are doing so out of help people that's their culpability in the capitalist system in america as iterated by the current regime of kleptocrats thanks kelly people is necessary to make payments in greenwich connecticut. good to have you with us today for the program israel has refused to allow a palestinian teenager to leave garceau to receive medical treatment in jerusalem seventeen year old khalid gummer he was shot and wounded by israeli forces during a protest near the gaza border in may.

i went to the borders to protest against the siege and support the prison in jerusalem shot me in the hand and i fell down screaming my hand it's paralyzed i didn't feel the bullet and my stomach. when the doctor came out so he took me to one side and said 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 is been cut. the reason for the denial of our request had nothing to do with security for the new directive is surely a year ago to deny treatment is israel to end. anyone injured near the eastern border areas. i can't raise my hand i can only raise it with the help of my other.

israel said it was rejecting the request for medical treatment because it is 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 in the country since the start of this year roman seeking financial help from its european neighbors fearing the growing number of migrants does raise the risk of terrorism reporting from sicily with more artie's charlatan's from. 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 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 the 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 the tally in the woods like this but italian authorities say they just want to cope and they've asked for more. how counterparts while the majority of my current and likely 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 italy's cry for help directly to european leaders and not just about italy alone for to about the security of the whole european union. let's bring in now before italian minister of foreign affairs mr franco frattini joining us here on r.t. international good to see you today so i'll start my first question about the ngos there are some non-governmental organizations are accused of actually fueling the crisis by allegedly couldn't looting with the smugglers is that accurate and if so how big of a problem is that. well it is a serious problem there are some serious suspects that for from the prosecutors now investigating all the serious cases solve suspect collusion with trafficking in human beings i hope there will be as soon as possible

a verdict proving that these allegations are true or not i suspect that if a prosecutor says publicly easy investigating all and geos varies something true behind and these will be a very very serious problem the italian prime minister has warned that they continue to influx of migrants could provoke a backlash in a tally and society just for a moment. have a listen to this. belief that it really needs support to avoid the flows becoming unsustainable feeding hostile reactions in our society. the italian prime minister saying that the current situation is sustainable do you agree. yes i do agree to. unsustainable situation. to promote european.

but unfortunately. of european union all round even the. bassy. to euro two. to all you are you getting the help you need from brussels at this point. well you know unfortunately proving completely useless on helping. to my gran crises when i was european commissioner responsible for security and immigration we were able to mobilize many member states. today unfortunately the weakness of european institution and national. leading to. be the mediterranean these is simply not acceptable as prime minister says is a. position from. being

isolated by europe you often describe europe as being useless in this ongoing crisis what would be the agenda the motivation to isolate italy just to make your country deal with the migrants on a single level. yes he did very simple if you look at the paris meeting a few days ago the minister of interior called germany france and italy plus. commissioner. upon invitation of the. government two days later from. closing the french ports spain and the closing of the spanish port it is sad. because he's very easy to. on the shoulders of the telly the guardian of the immigration the only. response from each other should be

closing towards two n.g.o.s bullets except wolfie show un mission would be extreme but a mess is sorry response to that. and mr very very little time left here but in a quick answer could i ask you are there concerns in your country of the migrants coming from africa that some could be radicalized that could be an increased threat of terrorism. yes there is a concern that there are investigations down menu. that. i'm only bills that there are refugees all migrants that unfortunately odd to school there to be radicals and league two territories defend all men on these serious want. what about the stories we've been hearing here on r.t. international about some of the migrants being forced to work for various matthieu gangs in southern parts of italy is that accurate. eighty's eighty's it is possible

to imagine every summer every old dolls' that. told me. they are really is leaves in their hands. and mafia groups this is another sad reality unfortunately there are links between traffickers all human beings in africa and doles that from crimi no group in need to be exploiting these poor people and these are exactly because of lack of control lack of you lack of unite all the see on migration now when you discussed moments ago the meeting when the government the new government in france invited you and others to discuss how to how to put to a stop this ongoing migron cry. it just ended up with some countries just closing borders one question to you and it's very sad and worrying that it seems to be

pushed out onto a limb to deal with this all by itself but how many migrants or is it possible there's a pursuing problem that many able to get to italy but then cross over the italian border and work their way further into europe is that a serious problem. it is not a serious problem because it. takes fingerprints. each and every migrants they are arriving to. to close the border. only the. response against. we told them to control and to identify every migrant and we do eat huge efforts so please don't make it confusion there are real situation is that.

any longer. in the borders because the old still we able to close our borders we didn't do that so far but. i think we will have to reflect a whether to do it franco frattini the former italian minister all foreign affairs or wish you the best of luck with the ongoing crisis in your country thank you for joining us here on r.t. international thank you thank you for joining us on the program coming up next watching the hawks. greetings and salutations and what has now become a yearly tradition hawk watchers when these summer days are long and hot in the united states rings in her birthday with fireworks barbecue and beer we hear of

watching the hawks will once again strike a chord to honor the independent spirit of that day with a celebration of music politics and art starting on july fifth we will bring you five unique shows featuring five diverse musical acts and drummers that truly embody the passion creativity and spirit of independence from the early banjo blues of hubby jenkins to the punk pride of c.j. ramone the uniquely los angeles sound of pastel felt the contagious heartbreak of chris angeles and the revolutionary rhythms of the flobots this year no musical stone will be left unturned and no independent voice will be left silence because in my humble opinion there is no better way to celebrate celebrate the political and spiritual birth of one's country than by showcasing one of its single most important values the freedom of speech and artistic expression you see after all the palette political and physical wars have been fought and the historians have recorded all the facts and figures it's the artists who provide us the human

context the heart and the voice of our times so let's celebrate our own independence as the music of politics and the politics of music collide this week watching the hawks. it's. like you know that i got. well governor watching the harvest i am tyrrel voted for and i'm having a life so it's out of this week june july it kicks off this week kicks off the music special watching on strikes a chord we had

a lot of fun last year doing it now we're doing again this year for five fantastic individual interesting bands that kicks off with hubby jenkins. he was a part of the band called the carolina chocolate drops that explored the old you know string music originally he had studied the saxophone and says his parents and build their house when he was growing up would blues and salsa the beatles then he picked up the cello the mentally moved on to string instruments he cut his teeth as a busker of new york city which is what the buskers what's called a street performer the basically works for tips as he progressed and explored his southern roots he came upon a lot of history about the journey of his ancestors the banjo which is you'll find out more about that in our special is actually a black instrument i don't white one here's a preview of our interview with one b. jenkins. was that first moment your life or your you truly found your passion for music. well i discovered my passion for old time music like after

high school when i had been playing saxophone from the age of five until freshman year i started playing cello and bass and high school and i went to a math and science engineering school and was like really enjoying music like i'm going to take a year off from college and and in that year is when i discovered country blues and was like ok i think i want to play music i think that's what it is for me and. it was like hearing skip james for the first time and thinking how otherworldly it was and not yet having any of the historical or. social contacts yet but just like enjoying the music. and so that was like my my entry into the world of music and all that kind of stuff. and sort of like inherent with old time music is. learning and learning history you know like you know it's not like pop music where all the references are easily available and right there for you so just learn more

about the music and so it's a learned. about the banjo being a black and about you know what really happened after slavery and how that contributed to our growth. i think credible and it's incredible how that the journey of music can take somebody in places they hadn't expected someone who and finding that through music i think it's so incredible especially when he talks about it and viewers will really i heard some said so to watch on july fifth because he really gets into history and culture and things he didn't know and how the conflict of that yes yes i was really was impressive to me because you know i asked him when you when you start talking about the banjo being a black instrument and you know as most people knew us we kind of equate it with you know why nobili you know yeah yeah you know and he said no actually the region you know is a ridgeley a black and it was created there you know that was our music and you know it was interesting when he talked about would you go to see dr because we charge well how

would he plays a certain crowd's you know one part of the crowd is like hey that's my grandpa happy's instrument how dare you play it you know and the other so the chords like oh that's a racist instrument how dare you play that and so it's very interesting hearing him talk about that aspect when we sat down and talked with him about this and i've spent task music like you saying you've got to hold on to that history and that historic and yet just take a listen to it here is a little story no moment from performing the song telling your mind. literally. live. in the.

will. you know. when i'm seeing. the old woman. who going through a lover and then we shift from from heavy jank and this amazing exploration of american old blues banjo and string music to chris sandal isu. on our second special will feature her she won the twenty thirteen best female album by the critics music critics awards she premiered the video for her album exclusively on ryan seacrest she was a finalist at the bulk southern musician competition the album she's performing in the special was awarded the best female e.p.

in the two thousand and sixteen alley music is a word and she was awarded the best female artist at the twenty seventeen international acoustic music awards it's pretty amazing and then she also fun fact sometimes performs with her twin sister and they do music together which is just this incredible sort of moment but is this come with oh yeah it's chris angeles is this really is the song is about heartbreak the beautiful songs about heartbreak and i think we all kind of understand those feelings and what her music does kind of allow us to go in that in this clip we asked her about that journey that she took from the farm to having a seat at the table. my mom says that i was saying before i could really speak and there is actually a video home video of me standing on the stairs and maybe two and a half men bailing through. i don't know being opera singer so i guess i sort of want to do that. i grew up listening to my parents records and

classical music and my grandparents and i grew up on a farm so we didn't have cable i think we got one channel and it had lawrence welk on it so we watched that i say we a lot because i have an identical twin sister so so i'm not saying like the royal we. so then really it was just about discovering those. those inspirations and then started seeing in church choir has been to catholic school and then when we moved to california. i got into theatre camp and doing musicals and i to be incredibly afraid to sing in front of people on stage just by myself was very scary but i wanted to for some reason and it got me out of my shell super super. shy. you know it's really amazing when you see singers songwriters right chris because they really do you know take what's in here and present it to you in a lot of times it's emotions and feelings that you felt in their sharing with you

that gives you a kind of a sense of companionship a sense of camaraderie and tells you kind of give you a little bit of hope in the world and the rest of thing of being shy you hear this a lot of musicians which always seems weird oh wow how can you be a pop star how are you this musician to get up in front of these people and sometimes music and for a lot of theater like myself that's what helped us get over there are shyness our social anxiety and our feelings because you can't really talk about feeling great and we're no way that a lot of great political speakers are also very privately yeah you know but one they get up in front of the mike i have to i have to get this out i get this message out to go share this with the world and that's kind of where the the healing factor comes and is that when when those who are shy but have so much to tell or give you that sometimes you know sort of comes together and let's take a listen to the beautiful award winning song built this house written and performed by of course it was.

just. a little. late. as we go to break our quarters don't forget to let us know what you think about

topics we've covered of facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are to dot com coming up we present to bring you more musical groups an artist will be helping us strike a chord as our music series pretty special continues stay tuned to watch. if you want to go to would know to see the history of the pack tyrrell's it is what you need to analyze it to gauge the pot of soup if you speak to my left whether they like it or not i got tattooed this fall this with we film. our free to distill story on this world open you know and open a new job we hope. to start to put your. fears will people been saying about rejected a knighthood to was actually just pull along awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch how to leave yampa is the john oliver of hearty americans do the same we

are apparently better than food. and see people you never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank paid the many seriously who sent us an e-mail. absolutely the dubrovnik in venice are all fixed travel destinations so it must be nice to live there or is it. crowds of tourists disrupt the city's economic and social life had to leave all this on the slash and get out of the traditional story some not as i am somebody else you've done as we've done as minor leagues a school my days and i'm on my feet while the cities try desperately not to

collapse all powerful corporations collect the profit of. the couple who will probably go up on the coffee cup at home in the bushes up the on saabs knock up the supposed to mean a. good. life. is a tourist phobia will fail into an identity.

a welcome welcome back all right. a long time ago you told me that one of your favorite genres of music is in the public rock. through a little bit of punk rock. we have on this year's drugs record yeah we see in the home of history an hour of going out and talking to some really amazing punk artists which i think is indicative this time we're going through a similar time that when punk music came to be so yeah this year we got to hang out with and talk to c.j. ramone so he was born christopher joseph ford is one of the three survivors surviving members of the seminal band punk band the ramones which influenced punk music around the globe there's a legend that goes that sid vicious of the sex pistols told a story that they walked into the studio with the ramones album and told the engineer that they wanted to sound like the ramones and that's where the sound of

the sex of those came from so from eighty nine to one thousand nine hundred sixty j. ramone fronted the room out and went on tour he's born in queens new york he went on to serve in the u.s. marine corps and a laundry list of amazing major punk bands and now is releasing his new album american beauty so it's sort of amazing to watch and one of the things this is an incredible incredible in credible it's his it's third solo album and the members of the band that are with him are also pretty amazing there are a who's who of american punk the last twenty years get steven soto or steve soto who's from the adolescence dan root also from the adolescence and peace it was a from the street dogs a lot of raw energy but there's a maturity that's come to the sound of and what it means yes it's pretty pretty amazing the whole album by the way was put together in a levin date

a leavened work so it's pretty amazing and he also covers the tom waits on the out so here is there's a little preview of our interview with c.j. ramone. to tell me about the new album american beauty and how what's the journey that leads up to this. american beauty is really different than the rest of my records. the first record i put outbreak on keys to was written over the course of several years i left music around two thousand and two thousand and one had a family recovered from my time in the ramones. and then about two thousand and eight i started playing out again but in all those years that i was gone and when i started playing early on i always sat down with my acoustic guitar and played songs and so i had plenty of songs written by the time i recorded break on teesta my second record. less chance to dance was written i started writing those songs

almost immediately after recording reconquista so when it came time to record that one i already had the songs it was a pretty both of those processes were pretty relaxed and without stress. after we recorded less chance to dance i started the same process of writing songs whenever i got inspiration and i used my. my phone i used to voice notes and i could be doing anything and i would just pick it up and sing a line into it or play or if into it and so i had a pretty good stockpile of ideas and potential songs. you know the thing i love about punk is you cannot get more revolutionary and you can i get more the best example of first amendment self-expression and this punk music it's outsiders speaking truth to power oh and that's what i love about punk music because they don't like punk reasons and old punks don't do we know we are the one people who don't get more conservative we get smarter we get tougher and we play harder than

they do and i do i know one thing that saved a reminder as and here is a little clip from his new album american beauty.

there every year we go out to los angeles and shoot this special we did last year and we did this year and one of the great things about going to allay is l.a. music yeah you know and i mean i'm the l.a. scene is fantastic you know especially when you get in there and it's you know. one of the great things is that you've got the our next group that's going to be that's going to be playing july tenth is pastel felt which is a young up and coming all girl band on the hit in the l.a. scene play in the troubadour hitting all the l.a. haunts you want to hit. it was a very interesting experimental awesome sound yeah it would have taken all of these things together and making this very artistic low fi sound that you know is it's really modern but it speaks to a time long time like the sixty's sound to it really it's pretty incredible it is pretty incredible that you know this group is really what happens when you know

kind of makers or artists that work in different mediums find partners together because they have this great you know graphic artist background comic book artist background a lot of these girls have so i want to get to the clip here's the band discussing how l.a. how l.a. sound becomes apparent when we're traveling but also how that sound develops you want to definitely take a listen to this how much does the feeling of los angeles and. find its way into your music and you know is that is that hard because also one of the sins you're trying to do. i mean i think it became more obvious when i went on tour we went to like northern california and like a lot of the ones that we played with are like like more focus like just as we like would visit different regions like the music would bury kind of a little bit more and so like coming back to l.a. it's like oh yeah our friends kind of play a simple somewhat similar styles of music with other thing other influences but i

think that's when i kind of like notice that it was more of a regional kind of like vibe so i just i think there's like a a weird standard that might be here that makes it maybe a little more like clean early hall is in a way that i don't know what do you think i feel like people hold themselves to a different standard here and things come out of the gate pretty tight and polished which is something i'm not used to actually. i think it ups the ante for everybody thing a trickle down effect so yeah fully formed in. l.a. it seems like they don't really have much of a gestational rough around the edges period it seems like they just come out like guns a blazing because they're taking it pretty seriously. i think you could say passed up the definition of. indie rock band. play in the shows in the clubs got their audience. selling on the. work up through the ranks.

and there's sort of this place that they play a lot now they're mourning echoes sandwiches all part of this like indie indie based music scene and l.a. and specifically and that sort of place overlaid that over and of area which is very artsy and it's a lot of these makers where you just make things and you figure things out what's really interesting about them is they were named one of the top ten bands to watch in twenty seven. or l.a. artists to watch in twenty seven. weeks and it's so great because these women that got together and and really are finding out how to express stories and music and do what they can that's the thing i like about doing this series is not only do we talk politics with all the you know with all the artists and how that plays into their music but we also talk a little bit of their history their sound and who they are and where that finds its way into their music and i think the thing that's on about the riot people we have

like pastel felt that is you get all these different levels of like where you're at on the musical scale in terms of success in terms of like that and to me it's like it's so great going from like c.j. ramones but in the business forever. it was you know they're making waves and they're coming up they're not brand new but they're definitely not like you know his level yet but they're there you know i mean like they're on the way and finding their voice is so cool so cool you know well i want to still take a second to listen to a little of that lo fi high concept a reverb made by pascal felt their song emotional. you. you. you you.

you you. you. you you. lou ruvo to that it is and our main event the big one will air on july eleventh that is our main main show on the big stage this will be colorado based alternative hop group the flobots their new album no enemies was released this series is kind of a force in this time where you know protests are necessary to fight for true american values not the ones that are trying to sell to us all the time. there are you know these things are being crushed by those who can't see that you know we talked about this on the show a lot that these inhumane acts and that their actions are in the main and these are politicians these are public and this is everybody so the flobots aren't just

a musical group though they're building social movements they're part of you know it's sort of the flobots foundation and it's part of working directly with their communities to mentor kids and they really are trying to use music as a way to make the world a better place i mean what's more what's more. it was striking a chord but yeah it was fascinating meeting and talking you know to johnny five br'er rabbit and everybody else in the group you know and they you know there are definitely people who put their you know put their activism where you know where their put their heart where their activism where their mouth is that are very very big they walk the walk they don't just talk the talk yeah they are seriously down to every family they do they walk and talk that talk and one of the really cool things was the flobots and denver's wonder band dance company got together and when they released the album and they've been doing performances they just it's more of a ballet with the music and it's something about this movement that's really great it's this collective power of movement and music so when porton so important let's

take a little look at. conscious hip hop the power to change here the flobots lead performers johnny five and parappa discuss how they became musical partners. and now we're being called flobots from denver colorado and. alternative hip hop play music for the last ten years plus together and you know for us music is about engaging the crowd but it's also about kind of engaging people with the message. so what are you guys together because this is sort of a new. version of the group or not version i mean as things evolved what brought the two of you together as artists. loving the eczema. loving g.i. joe lots of nerdy things were to nerdy boys who were placed in a highly gifted and talented program he was in the fifth grade i was in the fourth grade. and it's

a memory that i remember very clearly i saw him down the hallway as i was with my father and remember i told them my dad's army and i see that boy in the blue hat he's going to be my friend and here we are how many years later twenty years or twenty years later we thought we're going to be making comic books professionally. but the world that we crafted in comic books and are becoming the worlds that we started crafting and exploring with our wraps. yeah truly fascinating people and i'm great music really great music and really it's a sort of group effort in every it's one of those bands that when you see everyone in the band fleetly in that moment you never feel like anybody is not in there and they they will like they're having so much fun yeah i think they're enjoying what they're doing and it means something that's pretty pretty amazing and i really you guys have to see this little again another band that you know they lead with their heart they want to make the world a better place through their music through their lyrics and they're actively doing that mamsell the best conversations that we had you know i that i've had in

a long time was with the flobots and johnny five and bear rabbit you know as a pretty great let's take a short a little short preview of flobots with their new song charisse that. it's. yes just like him really and we can't. agree but you know it's important like i said before you know artistic expression music filmmaking all that it was sold to

society and i don't care what anyone says you have a good say we're a political talk show but you know what part of politics part of culture is also the art and art of speaking out to try to change culture for the better so i think when you try to say that art isn't new if there are it doesn't matter to the discussion of what we talk about every day on the show i think you you lost the thread there you have lost the thread and that is our show for you today remember everyone in this world we are told we are not told rolled up and up so i told the wall i love you i am tired old but i have a lawless keep on watching those hawks in every day and night everybody. there's a saying. keep them on the cheap. and then truth come true so let's

idea is right let's go to a scum he said to me give them everything they do to bust. this country. this is what we don't understand how we are poor in such a country. but i never said to the ones at the same time. but. the one from the similar. john the. one that i just about the last few. minutes of on board not that i got. on the computer with. to come back to the story you have to see. if you. go to.

a deal. last go as a multi-billion dollar contracts are on the table during the visit to china of its leaders. this trip comes amid a new strain in relations between beijing and washington. the german interior minister says brace for russian meddling in september's general election although the country's intelligence service says there's no sign moscow's trying to favor any particular candidate. for president admit weapons and munitions have been stolen from a military warehouse close to the capital as an investigation into the raid.

two o'clock here in moscow and you're watching. with me and welcome to the program the first big deals have been struck in moscow as china's leaders along with a number of leading businessman from the country continue that two day official visit for more details now let's go live. to have any details emerge about what's been agreed so far. i then a day or well as you were saying it's got to be two days of business dealing and also talking about politics but first of all let's start off with those business deals and what we got that gazprom have agreed to deal with c m.p.c. which is the china national petroleum corporation and we don't know how much that daily is but it's a big deal to supply gas to the siberia pipeline and is one of several deals we're looking at about twenty bilateral deals on the table that are due to be signed and

we're looking at deals worth about twelve billion dollars there so plenty of business talk going ahead there but there's also other deals to be struck as well and there on the political and personal level on a personal level the chinese premier has been awarded a medal for all his work that he's done in making relations between russia and china very friendly so he won't be going away empty handed but also this is the first on this being a cordial meeting between the two as we can see from previous encounters. with. my. chinese and told me that ice

cream is very much enjoyed as i promised i brought you a whole box of russian ice cream. i've. a well yes joking aside there is also the political discussion to be had i mean they're talking about issues that have obviously been in the possibly looking at north korea and south korea but. peculiarly north korea in light of the fact that pyongyang claims to have launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile which the russian defense ministry says was a medium range missile not intercontinental but it's certainly a cause for worry between the two countries and also the united states and also part of the why discussion that the two countries will be having ahead of the g. twenty summit in the next few days. thanks kate for keeping us updated i'm sure

you'll keep across anything else that comes out of thanks very much. well the news about north korea's latest missile test has certainly been adding to global tension donald trump tweeted his reaction demanding from china heavy move on its neighbor to end this nonsense well we're joined live now by dr. jan from. university of london a senior lecturer there thanks for joining us during hand. now let's look at the latest news that we've had today in north korea's latest missile tests on trumper push china to quote end this nonsense once and for all what do you make of his call and how likely is it that beijing will agree. well first of all not the other style and the purpose of. this news out there are a small preview implication while i'm hearing the issues it can be argued that in

the long ranch i mean presidential aide can reach us on line of the example i asked our son is not going to be again jane you're of the you know he's a war non-parliamentary chose the power. balance in a lot korea and the us and britain initially lost three of my gigs i actually got a little bit of our. business out there so you know if it's not that important but does the not very strong message not time that it's. not real now have the capacity for stress was written in rest. or burn injury company our response to all our plans and generate. a lot plan was korea has not promised us want it won't happen so it doesn't know her strong message not far and also when funny those are not. as well as the wreckage. let you just react and its message to us and now back to your question who or what

is the china company or we're against and i don't see it i think it's just our another round of of which are not what is going. on that you have where there was a job. or some brothers as well but it won't change in will change last question here. i mean that's what trump is pushing for isn't it change in north korea's behavior how likely do you think is it that washington will take unilateral action. well. i don't see a lot of us whether you're right. you know very serious. group you join because we. don't like what.

we always. hear. and why why do you think washington considers north korea to be part of its fair of influence. or what why do you think washington considers north korea to be part of its influence. or as a. perhaps well known for talking leaker. is a lie as we're so korea our allies who don't care. who are. quite important or. are we. are. we're our worst subsidization mary. kay well

thanks very much dr jan for all holloway university of london thanks for joining us here on r.t. with your thoughts thanks very much. well she jingping fit to russia comes at a time when china's relations with the u.s. 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 on a broader perspective artie's can of pop and 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 that was the first time that trump and she met with trump putting on a grand dinner for she which also featured trump's granddaughter singing a song for she in chinese.

well that was back in april sense then trump's charm offensive seems to a faltering 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 by some negative factors a fair few such factors actually unlike the u.s. accusing china of being a top human trafficking offender china was downgraded to tear three status in this year's report in part 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 in alienable parts of china and the us weapons sales to taiwan violates international laws as well as the basic phones of international relations china firmly opposes it and

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 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 to space both understand. from administration. a serious fan of uncertainty and very cautious demonstration of. china and russia you seem to be beneficial on the polls. despite trump's attempt to be best buddies with she

a while ago looks like the geo political set up hasn't really changed just like under obama the two eurasian super powers seem to be getting along pretty well while the united states is distancing itself and distrusting both of them. r.t. new york. germany's interior minister says the country expects russia to interfere in september's general election. following the story and joins me live and peter what exactly did the german officials say. well thomas term is here was speaking today in berlin he said he expects russia to try and influence the general election which will take place here on the twenty fourth of september he said that he expected data that had been stolen from the bundestag during a hike that took place in twenty fifteen to start to emerge in the coming weeks now back in twenty fifteen when that hack took place all the blame was put on russia

for that now at this same meeting at the same press conference in fact. was. that he's the head of the german interior security services the be vile the same equivalent of say the m i five in the united kingdom or the f.b.i. in the united states he also said that he expected russia to play a part in influencing or attempting to influence the vote but said that as of now there was no indications that russia was backing one particular candidate which of course begs the question why would you do it in the first place now the peer file that mustn't organizations also released a report warning against russia's potential threat a cyber threat of cyber attack from russia as a potentially listed russia as one of three major threats to germany over in the online sphere he also said that there could be potential influence on political parties ahead of that vote in september this all goes back to

a similar thing we've seen in france in the united states as well where it was claimed that russia. saw released information or tried to influence the vote in favor of one particular candidate now as it stands at the moment there has been a lot of claims made against russia in both fronts of the united states some of those claims made under oath so far but as of yet no proof is being provided no results of any form of official investigation. crucial parts no evidence thanks famous artist control of everything from berlin. portugal's president has admitted a military warehouse close of the capitalism has been raided officials haven't given any specific details of the leaks have emerged claiming to state the amount of weaponry and musicians that have gone missing to find out more cross over to our reporter in paris charlotte devinsky charlayne fill us in on the details here what exactly do we know. well this raid this burglary took place at the

end of june so just a few days ago but only now or more details emerging of exactly what was stolen what happened and that's prompted the portuguese president to actually admit one that this took place and also to say that a no holds investigation will now take place into exactly what happened he's also tried to minimize some of the criticism that's been leveled to portugal over this by saying that portugal is not the only nato country which has been subjected to theft like this need to quit meant well this burglary is thought to have taken place at night this weaponry disposal area just outside the portuguese capital of lisbon and what we understand from reports is that the burglars cut through a perimeter fence and used an area where reportedly the security cameras have been out of action broken in fact for the last two years or so those are reports that

we're getting that's not been confirmed as of yet and then they were able to take would appears to be a large hoard of weapons well let's go through some of the details of what we understand was taken from that store it includes apparently one hundred and fifty hand grenades eighteen tear gas grenades more than two hundred and sixty units of plastic explosives and almost fifteen hundred cartridges now those details were leaked in a spanish newspaper but they have. also not yet been confirmed but it is concerning that as europe has been subjected to many terror attacks over the last few years that weapons like this if any amount of stolen could get into the wrong hands now that has also been picked up by the portuguese defense ministry who has said that this raid was serious and is also warned that these weapons could be in anybody's

hands right now and that is concerning particularly when back in two thousand and eleven nato itself warned about how weapons such as hand grenades and cartridges could actually be turned into improvised explosive devices and the concern is that nobody seems to know who has taken these weapons and what they could be used for. great reporting for us and all the details on the munitions raid in and. don't go away we'll be back in a few minutes just after the short break with more stories. the feel we go through. every. period we.

get. according to. come back from iraq. obamacare health care designed to kill people because it is doing its job just like the architects of the ground in london and the folks that put up the flammable cladding to kill people that's their culpability and the people who designed this health care are doing so to help people that's their culpability in the capitalist system in america as iterated by the current regime of kleptocrats thanks killing people is necessary to make payments in greenwich connecticut.

welcome back to the program about ten 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 countries set a midnight tuesday deadline or they haven't said what measures they will take if does not comply let's just remind you what these demands it includes cutting ties with iran and so called terrorist groups such as hamas and hezbollah also to close a turkish military base and shut down news outlets al-jazeera and middle east i moreover qatar is required to sever all contact with the political opposition in saudi arabia bahrain egypt and united arab emirates qatar if so far have refused to budge this list of. demands made to be rejected it's not made to be accepted or not made to be negotiated. an easy country

to be the one. we already. now even though qatar is just a tiny spot on the map it's quite an influential player in the region the us has two military bases near its capital one of which is america's largest in the middle east turkey also uses qatar for its only military facility outside its territory also doha partnering with iran runs the world biggest natural gas field located on its shoreline an important factor to remember political science professor and me akhil kairos thinks this latest could lead to a full blown war that is not going to lead to peace that is leading to all conflict skill ation and a conflict. probably the war our world needs to have evolution. need to have new leadership leadership that is

open minded leadership that will accept reality as it is we are not living in the seventh century only war just hold. this whole issue is not worse it to go into an escalated conflict. so destruction. it seems everything president does these days is soon turned into a mean as jacqueline explains despite some criticism this tactic may actually be a winner. don't try and 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 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 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

whatever trump does they jump on it in a huge scrum he has used the media the social media is used twitter. and twitter has been around for awhile. 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 which allowed for so it seems that's how trump when his war with traditional me. through the magic of mean. are to you washington d.c. . we just had some breaking news in this hour it's lee has summoned austria's ambassador after vienna and now it is likely to set up border controls between the two countries austria is said to be deploying armored vehicles along the frontier a move aimed at stopping migrants passing into the territory italy has previously

warned such a move would break on free movement that says 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 while more than eighty five thousand have landed in the country since the beginning of this year rome seeking financial help from its european neighbors to help cope and to tara and anti matthew national prosecutor franco bear to believe the situation at present is a threat to security. those who arrive on the doing then undergo a process of radicalization that may lead to the realization of terror attacks. franco roberto he was recalling the case of the chin this young man who plowed a truck into crowds at a burning christmas market in december and we arrived in italy on

a migrant boat back in twenty eleven he was denied asylum in germany in twenty fifteen but was not deported another case is that of use of one of the three g. hardest who carried out an attack on london bridge on june third he had been monitored by italian police who had warned the u.k. about the threat he might pose use of is believed to have been radicalized via the internet and tried to join eisel in twenty sixteen former italian minister of foreign affairs franco frattini believes the current situation is totally unsustainable. it is unsustainable situation prime minister genteel oh nice trying to promote european soli darity but unfortunately the reason these grigg a show of european union all round even the beatles are all bassy. to something you wrote unfortunately grooving completely useless on helping on

solving the migrant prizes today unfortunately the weakness of european institutions and national. other leading to eyes only. in them being the mediterranean these is simply not acceptable we sole few days ago. on knowlton crane mailed people to bomb before hollows where some my grounds are osha to be located still some a.p.c. builds all of violent told iran's could be absolutely wrong but the response by dole's extremist group that it needs saudi fighting against any kind of a welcoming migrants any kind of. a tease a very wrong response to

a rome solution for decay zone migrations. say with us from the kaiser a poet. absolutely the dubrovnik in venice are all fixed travel destinations so it must be nice to

live there or is it. going. to. go crowds of tourists disrupt the city's economic and social life and i'm a little bit before this on the celestial was such a traditional story some not as some but soon as we find the needs of a school. while the cities try desperately not to collapse all powerful corporations collect the profit of what will put to the couple who will probably go on the dole coffee cup at home in the bushes up the on saabs knock up the supposed to mean a. lot of the time. is a tourist phobia will fail fall into an identity. cut

a few on the cheap bus and then to all the countries lets ideas the right to call you a scum he said if we give them everything to do the best. you discount. this is what we don't understand. we are in such a country. let us into the mindset that i think. you're saying i'm going to. assume to run up a similar symbol. if the middle of the word not that god can we believe again with the fall of the food

with the plane. would come back to the three story you have to see. the end. of june. guys are this is the kaiser report my love the charcoal it you know chocolates mexican so why is it marketed by the swiss company what the going on here should be paying royalties to mexico to market any chocolate swiss company. actually you know we had dinner with john mill ackerman at a place called as little condesa and it was really good but they actually had me

making caesar salad and i think there's some video of me doing that maybe and the other thing is that we learned is that they caesar salad was actually invented in tijuana mexico at least according to the legend at this restaurant on the fourth of july in one nine hundred twenty four caesar salad invested in invented until one last two things incredible that i learned last night number one that caesar salad was invented in tijuana mexico and number two you can cook and i didn't have to actually cook anything i just mixed all the lettuce and you know we need to go there ok fair enough they don't use any sardines or anything salty like that so it's not as salty is actually was much better than a western caesar salad i loved it so i want to talk a little bit about rationing here we've just entice you with the major a little bit hungry with the chocolate and the caesar salad but we're going to talk about rationing the first we're going to talk about rationing of capital of money

and this is a tweet from eli he says one thing i suppose show this is initial coin offerings for sure is that for better or for worse u.s. securities law deters a lot of investment yes this is a very good point and i tell you why this is an important point. because when i was working on wall street it is beginning a financial engineering creativity. bear came out with the junk bond market in the came out with collateralized mortgage obligations securities credit default swaps derivatives there's tremendous innovation in the financial space that violated all s e c laws at that time none of the financial innovation of the past twenty years were as compliance with s.b.c. law but they said we are ahead of the f.c.c. we're innovators they then went to back and they changed the law to fit what they were doing on wall street asteroid blancpain as jamie dimon they changed

a lot of fit what they did already on wall street remember when citibank bought travelers insurance that was a violation of the law that precluded under glass steagall this type of combination but what the citibank management did was convince the government to change the law so the initial point offering is got a lot of heat and people are saying you're not complied with s.b.c. law that's right the f.c.c. needs to get these to get it with it they need to change the laws and that's what the i.c.a.o. market's doing that's what good court is doing that's why these critics of because a cryptic way in in a saying oh you have the government going to wait now if you have the market you change the law exactly but i do think a lot of these i suppose will end up being scams and everybody will lose their all of their money. but what this guy is saying is that for better or for worse that

this is there's obviously a lot of demand for investment content and material that is not being met by the current markets because of so much as they see regulations about going public for example or for raising funds so it is an. demand but the other thing that he says is shows and this brings in the rationing another lesson of i.c.'s don't ration through queuing what can be rationed by price so you know you will be able are you you talk all this time about the fact when you worked on wall street you guys would have the i.p.o. shares for yourself and you would build them out to. good clients that you like you would give them the early shares before the i.p.o. popped and i saw that sort of thing doesn't sound like it's completely hopeless now where they would ever have said anything like that so at the moment we have a rationing based on standing in the queue waiting to get the first share available

here he's saying you can ration it by price and this is what i see the market is showing well it's going to try bears brought paris with is i see how that is doing over the course of a year or so he's doing it i think in a way that is more egalitarian if you will are fair to the market and remember when google went public back in the late ninety's they tried doing a reverse auction. to go public at that time and bypass the wall street mechanisms of my own hollywood stock exchange that i created back in one thousand nine hundred sixty three to the way to price discovery to take movies and stars public on the exchange based on my own patented algorithmic price discovery mechanism so this is a non going to base this new i.c.a.o. bank or it is it says that it is basically price discovering a new way that allows for currencies to be better represented in the market so that large dominated forex currencies like the euro or a dollar is kind of money will footing with

a less dominant forex represent the currency like a ruble and so it makes sense on paper you need a good management team you need a good market for it doesn't mean it's going to be successful but these guys are approaching the problem with solutions the recent crash of the theory of price shows that the demand for i.c. . outstrip the market making capacity of the exchanges to make markets in the i.c.'s so what does that mean that means i c o's are bad no it means the market making technology for a theory needs to be improved you can borrow from my pad go ahead i don't own or anymore so take it steal it i don't care it's owned by some wacky wall street bank that i hate now. you know in terms of bank or i do want to say i've read basically experts security experts code writing experts who have now looked at the code and say there's actually back doors in it and they can cut you off from the grid so they could they could basically delete your currency so that is in their their technology their algorithm whatever their i.c.a.o.

was just so you know so don't go out and buy bank or just because we've mentioned it try to get in on that but speaking of rationing i want to move on to another topic this is again in the united states and. you know. first of all there's a rationing of time there's only so much time that the news king has has twenty four hours and what it all the minutes within those hours to cover any news they feel fit to fill that time for the u.s. audience sixty five percent according to a harvard harris poll say that they want. the news and they want congress to move on from these russian conspiracy theories sixty five percent of americans say they're sick of these this and their air space being filled with this and they want instead to hear about economics they want to know about health care so you know we've had that we had the senate health care bill their version of trump care the

age ca written in secret and then it was revealed and it's just as horrible as it were it's actually even more horrible than the republican congressional version and those are a little bit worse than a ca so i have this headline here from matt bruning it says how many people will obamacare and h.c.a. killed and he's saying both of them are killing people because center for american progress you know that predestiny finance group neera tanden runs and they're part of the resistance so the ones pushing all these stories about russia gate and russia conspiracy theories all five separate people were by line down the center for american progress post about how many people a will kill this post is quite long but all the authors really do is to take the c b o estimates of how many people will lose coverage under eight h.c.a. and then divide that number by eight thirty they do this because there is a study that shows that one person dies on necessarily for every eight hundred thirty people who lack health insurance so he did for all of them single payer and

it is that down of the bottom zero deaths due to not having any coverage that is obamacare the one that everybody is fighting to defend to the death all the left wing the liberals have been co-opted into and you know. supporting a program written by the heritage institute a very far right wing economic think tank and it's a little bit you know. obamacare is not quite as bad as trump care but they both kill well is obamacare a term care designed to kill people because of it is doing its job just like the architects of the growth all tower of london and the folks that put up the flammable cladding to kill people that's their culpability in that the people who designed this health care are doing so to kill people that's their culpability in it the capitalist system in america iterated by the current regime of kleptocrats things killing people is necessary to make payments in greenwich connecticut yes and they say that under

a child care nearly five hundred forty thousand people will die in the next decade versus obamacare it would be three hundred twenty thousand deaths due to lack of access to health care so i want to turn on to in the last three minutes here i want to move to mexico because there's also a rationing story here trumps russian scandal pales in comparison to what just happened in mexico mexico's latest disgrace involves alleged spying by state and journalist an activist with spyware from israel but more importantly with the article in terms of this rationing they talk about the corruption problem across mexico and that that annually between two percent and ten percent of its g.d.p. reduces foreign investment by five percent and wipes out about four hundred eighty thousand jobs due to corruption but a lot of it is in the individual states and the governors and one in particular they mention is the former vera cruz governor harvey duarte also of the p.r.i. party the that runs this government ran the state as a personal cookie jar tracked down to guatemala and april and duly arrested duarte

is accused of skimming hundreds of millions of dollars from public funds his plundering of his own state left it in rooms of has come to symbolize the current culture of corruption that reigns in mexico and one scam has become emblematic of his greed allegations that children battling can. or in his state were given water instead of chemotherapy drugs so that he could keep the funds meant to pay for their treatment for himself so right now there are no fewer than sixteen former state governors either in prison waiting to face justice or on the run but here that guy with that you know the news is saying this guy is obviously evil you steal water you do you give these little kids not chemotherapy drugs but water i mean how is that any different from obamacare or trump care well it's a very different than flint michigan being forced to consume lead laced poisonous toxic life killing water right it's an industrial death policy brought on by corporatist and cup the krauts again going back to the news media in america

time is rationed they only have so many minutes between commercial breaks to give the news to the american people and it's all russia russia russia they want to stop hearing about this they want to know they want some of that ration the time to be devoted to health care policy to the economy to corruption to competitiveness to these sort of issues that actually matter to the individual down on the ground yeah but the corporate media will tell you the way they see it is that there's only so much news they can force feed in between commercials exactly right at the commercials or what they're there to serve not is live for us it's good because we are so successful our network and our show because people do there is still demand for it it's just that their you know the likes of m s n b c ration their time devoted to economic issues and policies that matter to the ordinary person fair enough that's beautiful where we go to so don't go away stay right there.

and say see i don't want to see you. i'm still at the same time. to serve all. we might need to move to a lot of homes yet completed money. points to the. magnificent. some place from which is my point food can save me save us from people who really nice imprinted in my conformance feel welcome in russia. because the food was dusty quickly just not very enjoyable place to be in the military from a pay poke my son. had a. letter to be so mason with me someplace to go through the punch station

also famous people. who are very mad that i'm here which of those little things. welcome back to the kaiser report imax guys are loving it in mexico yeah i would like to resume my conversation now with columnist and economist alexandra and i don't know welcome back thank you very much all right we were covering the entire mexican economy a stagnating we talked about why the previous episode you know the money is doesn't seem to drop to the bottom line it goes off shore basically spirit of corruption the panama papers reveal that. it's worse than that i mean you have a policy package that conspires against growth and you've been implementing the

sponsored purpose for three decades if you consider that the main priority of the mexican policymakers since one thousand nine hundred eighty two was to control inflation. then you will have the explanation of why the mexican economy is things because how do you control which the mexican balls you make are following the i.m.f. or the world bank of the russian the consensus said it's very easy we will control aggregate demand how do you do that compressed wages if you look at wages and makes you think we just have stagnated in the u.s. they were in europe since one thousand nine hundred ninety look at the mexican data and you will it's really amazing this is really the average ok so you repress wages you restricts public expenditures because this is a major component the package at the moment so you restrict. expenditures you increase interest rates and you use the exchange rate as an anchor for the

system of relative prices in mexico to control inflation all of these things combined give you a clear message of this economy is not going to grow ever and this is the policy bankers' that is crystallized and fixed in by nafta so this is why i say we need to get rid of nafta we need to recover space for economic policy the. the world has changed we're not living in one thousand nine hundred two we need different objectives it's not like we're going to use oil as a lever for you know a lever for developments and look at the world today look at the amount of oil we have left that's not going to happen we need new projects both at the my group anomic level but also at the secular liberal we need to recover our good at the agricultural sector has been devastated by nafta for example so this is a lot of homer we need to do but the basis is we need to change this policy package that is a perverse system of. how should i say forces. came

in as little as you know it's. an ism if you want to say that but it's you know it is really a combination of instruments that represses growth employment and fiscal revenue so if you have a terrible package for mexico. economic policy has really. led us into this. morning of stagnation ok so on protestors around the strait they're saying the reagan factor as i'm the monitor is ation of the economy the financialization the nail liberalization started in the eighty's the early eighty's and that period they talked about the devastation is done to america and the united kingdom include mexico and that analysis neoliberalism financialization giving banks the wherewithal to run roughshod over the entire economy and the name of some economic policy called aggregate to master me elation which is fed by debt aggregation debt aggregation only thing is that you are the main call was you know

we will control inflation and if you deregulate markets you will have growth in the stability and jobs and everything will be stimulated through allowing the debt to increase no users you honor but you fight inflation by repressing ways. the wage the real wage level in united states thank made it since one thousand nine hundred eighty three that curve was growing after the war and then you know you see the curve the historical perspective is nine hundred thirty three it flattened in the never comes back again what increase was invented this ok so i just said that yeah absolutely ok so legally though my point the senate under so far i'm with inflation and deflation is that the definition excludes wages in other words you have zero after the stock market makes goes up one hundred percent sure a great excess so people look at that no say must be great the economy is great

everyone's great national poverty everyone is rich and you have to wrestle flows and you have a service in central bank and we persist so it's fun to do this you guys have one hundred forty billion reserves in the world and in the central bank so you must be doing fine and i hear those numbers so you guys both start praying because the next crisis will start you know it can start tonight or tomorrow is a bank of mexico central bank oh i mean the financial sector hook let me say now who's running it well it's not it's a it's a but it's a consortium of banks it is has fund it's the guys that brought the global financial system this is not a well we got market oriented mark carney and eyes and kingdom you've got janet yellen in the states you've got my a dragon ball you mean you got your old or your pant ok so you got carson's here or the. car since augustine carson there shows about the kraut is the guy that came from my you math etc and i have caught a crab not only that they use a macro economic model that is totally worthless you know it is so the problem is

not who wrote this this thing is not an independent entity this is a crucial thing though because the central bank you know this idea became so popular in the eighty's and ninety's we need a low tone to me and independence for the central bank well from the government yes but he said when we look at the banks i see. ditto if you think posters everywhere get to spend ditto this is carson's garson so it's a bandito that's right he's in bed with the global banditos course like all of these guys are ok exactly so he goes to marketing and the market says you're not given good price discovery because you're increasing debt using financial engineering destroying wages that's not good for the regulations and the laws of nature don't don't don't suggest that you could conduct yourself in this way and he says laws we don't need no stinking laws ok i'm of course i'm referencing the treasure of sierra madre possibly the greatest film ever made with software bogart i'm sure you watch it here and my right you're smiling some man is smiling that's

right of course yes these. data absolutely yes so you have this mantra about free markets and stability free markets and make believe prices and balance budgets and all these things this is what's running the mexican economy this where you have the complete kaos and then you are at the scene we this is a wire economy after being bombarded government step away america comic there grab the alligator right there that alligator leader camera grab the alligator you know step aside from your camera walk over what's your legs and grab that alligator say my spanish is not so great is it that's. going to get we get we got alligator this is for carson sir this is what we're going to do we're going to feed him to the crocodile because john john john. as you were going to do we think.

that he wasn't too happy about it because sour didn't taste good. let's move on the paris climate agreement changing gears for a second it was only when trump bailed out of this non-binding watered down kyoto fake agreement that mayors and governors and other local governments bodies started actually doing something. well i was a big fan of the paris agreement but as everybody says it was the only thing we have i mean i'm not a big fan of the president for one crucial reason all the commitments are voluntary non-binding ok that spelled really bad news but the i could to make sure this thing came from the cops. i don't know what was it eighteen was in denmark in copenhagen that's when they you know that's when brazil the brics another fantastic story of the brics and but then trump in saying that this disagreement sucks especially he said it stinks it means calling the truth about it

well it's a bad thing you know i think he's saying i think he's you say this is a funny thing he's pulling out of that thing for for the wrong kinds of reasons ok if anything what you need to do with the president is let's say let's make sure that all of these are both very commitments independently stablished commitments by each country get employed actually implemented in that country that we're going to cut emissions by forty five percent in twenty twenty five that you actually do. apologies for breaking into the program you can watch the kaiser report if you're with following that online at r.t. dot com but the china russian and chinese leaders are right now holding a joint press conference at the kremlin on a second and final day of it in moscow let's listen in to what's. the corporation which unites businessman heads of agencies and regions. figures of
