russia and china. between the two countries. and the german interior minister. however the country's intelligence. particular.

five o'clock. with me david welcome to the program. the chinese has wrapped up his two day trip to the russian capital. and media conference with the president. has been following the told from the go live to him now he was. what do the two ladies have to say. well i think. by the russians and the.

sick and heavy between both sides applauding each other congratulating each other bloody me a putin shrinking that pig was personally vital in reaching in improving relations between russia and china and getting them to the level where they are now the chinese leader said he felt almost at home here in russia obviously they talked about many things they agree don't cooperate shouldn't agriculture in space and business in the media almost every sphere you can talk about they side deals with twelve billion dollars and they were all smiles about it this trip i doubt it will go down in the memory books. the.

chinese businessman who told me that ice cream is very much enjoyed as i promised to my old box of russian ice cream cheese. and. of course they talked about international affairs as well the chinese and the russians said that the view of china and russia on into. on the most pressing

issues of the day are largely similar if not identical and the chinese leader xi jinping mentioned that the world was growing and restless and that russia and china had to work together but they also talked about of course north korea which is just carried out another ballistic missile test. you know to go along with its alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons and here they came out with a surprising statement they said that perhaps north korea might impose a moratorium on nuclear weapons tests as well as ballistic missile tests if south korea and the united states stopped with the endless drills and games that they hold in the area on north korea's north korea's doorstep they said that perhaps that would help to reduce tensions in the area they also talked about american plans to station missile defense system in south korea saying that that should be canceled to tensions in the area and that no outside military should station its

troops in asia just for the sake of resisting north korea they said the. violence and. the way to solve this crisis meanwhile the pentagon and reportedly donald trump has said that it is time to increase pressure in north korea even further isolated to force it to draw down. and bishan the chinese leader of course is now going to the g twenty summit along with blood to me a putin but a strong message from them both. a lot of ground. well if we look at the north korea latest missile test we're going to discuss this issue further with aiden george foster a call to a korea expert welcome to the program aiden now i think we have we have to mention this you know trying to push to china to quote end this nonsense once and for all

what do you make of his cool and how likely is that i mean after listening to they how likely is it that beijing will agree to take a harder and a tougher stance. i think there is very little likelihood of that and the trump claims of course to be breaking the mold to be offering something fresh to be different but in at least in this regard you know calling on china should do more is probably the statist cliche in the washington playbook having said that i mean i deal world china should do more my own view is that china's undoubted aspirations to be as change the u.s. for global hegemony with things like the one belt one road initiative are undermined when china fails to fully implement un resolutions but let's be realistic. north korea is it's china's neighbor the same is true of russia or of course a very small border and there are some things that china and china alone there are

something worse than nuclear north korea and that has collapsed north korea with the risk of loose nukes refugees crushing exporters and so on so although i theater in the abstract i regard that call for china to get more as justify this i think it's completely unrealistic and not to go on what i want to austria but this latest statement joint statement from xi jinping and president putin shows that things are going in a different direction altogether a new cold war. yes i'm a viewing as the i mean if we look at the breaching of the un resolutions that north korea's and repeatedly now isn't it's very publicly continuing to do so and trump pushing china to take a have a stand but you said that it's unlikely so what's going to be the next step from washington then are they likely to take you know not unilateral action. no i think the risk of that is less i mean we've we again and many of us were worried in the first half of the yes most of the noises coming from washington from president

trump and others were quite benteke those statements like no option is off the table and so on but equally he said he would have to meet kim jong un under certain circumstances and now that i don't think it's going to happen anytime soon on the say but a key factor is that south korea now has a new president j.n. been in office for less than two months who is very much from the liberal and of the spectrum would like to go back to the old sunshine policy dialogue with north korea the problem is that north chris making it incredibly difficult by cold shoulder him and by carrying on with this relentless program of illegal missile tests just as if nothing could change and nothing would happen i mean can they really not read the tea leaves and i must say that's why i find this latest statement i've only just seen it i'm perusing it from president xi and president putin incredibly depressing as if there were some parity between north korea to freeze what they're doing which is completely illegal and threatens the world and for the u.s. and south korea to freeze what they're doing ok large scale military exercises but

entirely beat the living going on that every year for sixty years there's nothing new about them they're not aggressive. so they're not really isn't on start i really hope when everybody gets around the table and humbug at the g twenty we have behind closed doors some of some more positive thinking from from all sides frankly ok well they didn't go into force to call korea expense thanks very much for your thoughts on this if i can. this it to russia comes at a time when china's relations with the u.s. are on shaky ground that's off to beijing or did manage. to warn all an american warship which according to china violated its territorial waters in the south china sea. and look at how things started to go wrong between beijing and washington bridge member 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 they have 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 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 taiwan 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 is 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 destroy. the regional strategic balance well 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 their common interests you can view all of the. deteriorating relations with the united states both understand that donal's from administration. a serious fan of uncertainty and very cautious demonstration or sort of direct to china and russia you see to be

beneficial on the part of both leaders despite trump's attempt to be best buddies was she a while ago 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 to new york. last year's ambassador has been summoned by italy over vienna as reported plans to deploy troops on the borders between the two countries it's all happening and it's an increased influx of migrants into italy. there has been summonsed over the fact that vienna has said it could deploy up to seven hundred fifty troops to the border with italy there ready to be deployed at any point and it has already deployed a number of armed personnel carrier to the border to the brain a pass which is

a mountainous pass between italy and austria and that's because austria is concerned about the growing influx of migrants to which may then cross its border into austria so basically what they're trying to do they're trying to say that they will shore up their own borders if there is a continued influx of people moving northwards from italy now that's because in the last few years harf a million migrants of landed on a tally and shores many of them not wanting to stay in italy and if we look at the figures this year alone the un migration agency says around one hundred thousand migrants have landed on european soil from the mediterranean sea since january of this year and the majority of those more than eighty four thousand have landed in italy alone now i was in the italian island of sicily over the last few days in the city of palermo looking at some of the issues that have been caused by this

mounting my current crisis and what we saw on the streets there the fact that many of the mafia gangs have now teamed up with migrant gangs and they're actually forcing migrants to work for them in criminal activities such as selling drugs now france and switzerland have already started beefing up their borders because many of the migrants say they don't want to stay in italy they want to head further north many of the ones i spoke to said bed destinations of choice for france germany even norway we've seen over the past few weeks migrants being stopped particularly on the french italian border and being forced to go back to italy and . italy has just said it feels abandoned it just cannot cope with this mounting crisis so much so that it has threatened to close the ports that vessels used to bring rescued migrants into from the mediterranean sea the only boards of refugees

. something is not working well france germany and italy have spoken about a move cooed native effort and they've drawn up a code of conduct where vessels that are bringing rescued. can land and there has been the suggestion and talk about using ports in france such as mass say and in spain such as barcelona but there's been no concrete plans over this what started as a call for help by italy now looks like it could be turning into a diplomatic crisis as countries in the e.u. look to close their borders off with their e.u. counterpart leaving italy dwindling under the continued pressure of this migrant crisis in fact the un refugee agency has already expressed their concern over the issue according to it other countries should also share the responsibility former italian foreign minister franco frattini spoke to us earlier and was scathing in his view of europe's involvement in solving the migrant crisis. it is unsustainable

situation prime minister genteel oh nice trying to promote european darity but unfortunately the reason these gregg a show of european union all round even the beatles are all bassy. to each other you know unfortunately proving completely useless on helping on solving the migron crises today unfortunately the weakness of european institutions and national. leading to isolating in them be the mediterranean these is simply not acceptable we sole few days ago. cray mailed people put a bomb before hollows where my grounds are be located still some a.p.

still all of violent told iran's could be absolutely wrong but the response by dole's extremist group that they need to fight against any kind of a welcoming migrants any kind of. a very wrong response to a rome solution for decay zone migrations. back in a couple of minutes. the feeling of going to. every the world should experience. and you get the live. according.

to. the same wrong well we just don't. get to shape out just to get the ticket and in. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

welcome back to the program jimmy's interior minister says the country expects russia to interfere in september's general election ati's peace all of a has the details. interior minister thomas to marius there was speaking at a press conference here in berlin where he said that in his opinion russia will try and influence the twenty seventeen it general election here in germany he said that he expects data that was stolen during a computer on the bundestag back in twenty fifteen will be made public over the coming weeks now back in twenty fifty when that happened or fingers of blame were pointed out russia however still no proof of an investigation was proof that it had been a russia had any involvement in that such a long sight him at the same time was hans mohsen he's the head of germany's interior security services the bear file very similar in many ways to say m i five in the u.k. or the f.b.i. in the united states he said that there wasn't any indication that russia would try

to influence any particular or support any particular candidate or party which then clover or begs the question why would they do it in the first place it's a lot of effort to go into to influence and try and change the outcome of somebody's election if you have no particular care over who comes out on top as the winner in the end of the. york musson heads up also issued a report in which they list russia as one of the top three cyber security risks to germany but we cast our minds back to you to february of this year just a few months ago the german security services issued a report in which they said there was no evidence that russia was attempting to undermine the government of angela merkel this all brings us back to what we've seen in the united states previously in france as well where there are elections following their actions and even in the lead up there were claims that russia was trying to influence those votes well despite there being some serious allegations

made and some of those allegations being made under oath this big no investigation and no proof. that anything actually took place so because bring it i and seeing what more comes out of the interior ministry here in germany did mr marson the head of internal security just to see what if they come up with any evidence for their claims that russia may be trying to influence the twenty seventeen german general election. there's just hours left for qatar to decide on whether to submit to an ultimatum from a saudi led bloc that sanctioned the gulf state the deadline now expired at midnight on tuesday after it was extended by forty eight hours let's take a closer look at the demands put forward by saudi arabia bahrain egypt and the and it's the bloc wants qatar to cut its ties with iran and militant groups named by the saudis and their allies as terrorists qatar also has been told to shut down

a turkish military base on its territory the thirteen point list includes a demand for qatar to close all of its international news outlets including al-jazeera and the saudi led bloc wants doha to cease contacts with political opposition groups in their countries qatari officials have spoken out in defiance of the ultimatum. this list of. demands made to be rejected not to be accepted or not made to be negotiated is not an easy country to be swallowed by only one. we are ready we stand ready to defend our what could too. if you look on the map qatar may be a small country but it's significant regional power player the us has two military facilities near doha one of which is washington's largest base in the middle east turkey's first military base in the region is also in qatar with the two nations often holding joint drills across the gulf is iran which shares the world's biggest

natural gas field with qatar doha has been criticized by the saudi led plant for its cooperation with terror and political science professor and call cairo's thinks this latest could lead to a full blown war. that is not going to lead to peace that is leading toward god slicked skill ation of the conflict. probably. the war our world needs to have. a 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 the worse it to go into escalated conflict. so destruction.

portugal's president has admitted a military warehouse close to the capital lisbon has been raided officials haven't given any specific details although leaks have emerged claiming to state the amount of weaponry and munitions that have gone missing the president's call for an investigation adding it's not the first raid of its kind we must to really investigate all the facts similar incidents have been reported in other major countries over the past two years. newspaper reports suggest more than one hundred fifty grenades were taken out of the huge range of equipment stored in the warehouse hundreds of bullets and units of plastic explosives were also taken. the country's defense minister has warned that the weapons are likely to find their way on to the black market and they to report stated back in twenty eleven that if such a thing was to happen weapons and munitions would likely be used in terror plots.

what your hopes is next here on all to stay with us. absolutely no dubrovnik in venice i will fix travel destinations so it must be nice to live there or is it. crowds of tourists disrupt the city's economic and social life and have to leave before the sun the celestial get out on the table such as the traditional style you send us comes by you sometime soon as we don't find a school but these are some of the majlis cities try desperately not to collapse

all powerful corporations collect the profit of what goes up it will probably be global in the dull coffee cup at home in the bushes up the on saabs knock up the suppose it's in the unit. to feed. as a tourist phobia will fit into our own identity. greetings and sell you. and what has now become a yearly perdition all watchers when the summer days are long and hot in the united states rings in our birthday with fireworks barbecue and beer we're watching the hawks will once again strike a cord 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 angelus 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 brazil 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. that's. what it's like you know that i got. the. welcome or the watching the harvest i am tired of the earth 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. and that's kicks off with hubby jenkins. he was

a part of the band called the carolina chocolate drops of the explorer the old you know string music originally he had studied the saxophone and says his parents of build their house where he was growing up would blues and salsa in the beatles then he picked up the child eventually moved on the string instrument he cut his teeth as a busker in 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 not a white one here's a preview of our interview with one 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 in 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 it 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 it's 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 learn. about the banjo be. 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 them 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 he when you start talking about the banjo being a black instrument and you know most people in the u.s. are kind of acquainted with you know why nobility you know yeah yeah and you know when he said no are jews original you know as a ridgeley blackens was created there you know that was our music. you know what was interesting when he talked about what you've got to drive because we charge what he plays a certain crowds you know one part of the crowd is like hey that's my grandpappy

his 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 we sat down and talked with him about this and i've spent music like you say you got a hold of that history and that historic and yet you take a listen to it here is a little you know moment from performing the song telling your mind. we. will.

tell you. who are going through a lover and then we shift from from her and this amazing exploration of american old blues banjo and string music to chris sandal to. 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 is a finalist of 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 is this komodo 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 is 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 singing before i could really speak and there is actually a video home video of me standing on the stairs maybe two and a half through all of 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 theater camp and doing musicals and i had to be incredibly afraid to sing in front of people on stage just by myself is very scary but i wanted to for some reason and it got me out of my shell you 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 to a lot of times it's emotions and feelings that you felt in their sharing with you gives you a kind of a some sublime premiership a sense of camaraderie and tells you kind of give you

a little bit of hope in the world and there is that thing of being shy you hear this a lot of musicians which always seems weird to watch 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 our shyness our social anxiety and our feelings because you can't really talk about feeling great and there's 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 like i have to i have to get this out to 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 the those who are shy but have so much to tell or give some of us 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 the crew. it was. love.

to. see. his hands. in the. long. view. it's. still. 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 three more musical groups an artist will be helping us strike

a chord as our music series pretty special continues to stay tuned to watch and see if you want to go to would know that you see the history of the past so i feel the truth is what you need to analyze it get to the part of sit you speak of my life for the day like it or not i got to have this fall this with we film in the house three to fifty stores on the world opened up. and opened a new job we opened up to start putting. a c.x. i want to see i'm still at the south tower. you know. we need to move to a lot of. movies. magnificent.

food to save us from people who are really nice and friendly and i might the foreigners feel welcome in russia. it was a. very enjoyable place to be a very friendly pay poll. released some basic going through a. bunch. of people here who are very glad that i'm here which is this new. design to kill people because it is just like. the ground the tower of london and the folks that put up the flammable. people that's their culpability and the people who have designed this health care are people. the capitalist system in america by the current

regime of kleptocrats people is necessary to make payments in greenwich connecticut . welcome to the wonderful world of blood donation i come here every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive. 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. will put money on your car. you don't have to have all plasma based drugs today come from private companies and are produced from. a small company. you know a motor car computer know one of the risks of pay donation in it and then is proof that the frequency of pathologies is much higher in paid donations and many.

if i was lying when i. was over two years old he will go in the money even if the drill and who runs the blood business. a welcome welcome back all right i'd rather. a long time ago you told me that one of your favorite authors of music is in the public rock. through a little bit of punk rock. we have on this year's structure core 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 and talk to c.j. ramone so he was born christopher joseph ward 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 pieces of mystery 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 day. 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 won 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 use my. my phone i use the 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 in 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 musicians and old punks don't that 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 there lay is l.a. music yeah and 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 of taking 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 this sound 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. is sound becomes apparent when we're traveling but also how that sound develops we 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 since you're

trying to do. i mean i think it became more obvious when i went on tour we went to like the northern california and like a lot of the ones that we played with are like kind of like more focused like just as we like would visit different regions like the music woodbury 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 yeah i guess i think there's like a a weird standard that might be here that makes it maybe a little more like clean early. 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. be 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 your definition of the indie rock band yeah you know they're just playing the shows in the clubs got their audience you know selling out you know selling only. worked up through the ranks to the l.a. scene there is sort of this place that they used to play a lot now they're more an echo of sand which is all part of this like indie indie based music scene in l.a. and specifically and that sort of eastern l.a. is so very laid back over to varia 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 seventeen or l.a. artists to watch twenty seventy by sally weekly and it's so great because there is

these these women that got together and and really are finding out how to express stories and music and do what they can well and 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 you know 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 paul about the propriety of people we have like pastel felt in the hub you know that is you get all these different levels of like where you're out on the musical scale it was in terms of terms of like the you know to me it's like it's so great going from like a c.j. were moments but in the business forever to well 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 at his level yet but they're there you know i mean like they're all 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. high concept

a reverb made by pastel felt their song emotional. 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 flobots their new album no enemies was released this series is kind of a force in this time where you know process are necessary to fight for true american values not the ones 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 inhuman acts 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 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

that put their heart where their activism where they're about there's a 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 from a band called flobots. and we're alternative hip 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 we were too 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 i remember i told him my dad's army and i see that boy the blue hat he's going to be my friend and here we are how many years later twenty 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 just fleetly in that moment you never feel like anybody is not in there and they they will like they're having so much fun but 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 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 and mamsell the best conversations that we had you know i that i've had 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 bots with their new song carousel. it's. us.

yes just like him and it really and we can't say any but you know. but you know it's important like i said before you know artistic expression music filmmaking all that is sold to society and i don't care what anyone says yeah they can 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 bettors so doing so but i think when you try to say that art isn't new art doesn't matter to the discussion of what we talk about every day on the show i think 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 your loved up so i tell you all i love you i am tyrol but you don't have

a lawless keep on watching those hawks and i have a great day and night everybody. make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling class is protect themselves. in the final. listen to the one percent. in the middle of the room sick. yet there's a saying. that there won't be cheap. and then going through all the countries

let's idea is really their right to call you a scum you should give them everything that the best. this country. this is what we don't understand how we are in such a country. the nurse until two months after the same time. you're saying i'm going to. the soon to run off with a similar solution john a good one. because if you feel if the middle of on board not that you got to meet believe me again you know what to do with the phone about the computer with the plane. to come back to the place story you have to see. the best the. if you move.

move move you. up on a carousel car 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 that the people who are designed this health care are doing so to kill people that's their culpability in the copula system in america as iterated by the current regime of kleptocrats thanks killing people is necessary to make ya payments and grants going to. get the kids a little more than you get it i'm not going to live. up to. the norm in the communism.

russia and china called the d. escalation after north korea test another ballistic missile was during president xi two day visit to moscow. italy's sullens austria's to over v.n. his plans to border controls between the two countries. and the german interior minister says lynn's braced for russian meddling in september's general election however the country's intelligence service says there's no sign moscow's trying to favor any particular kind of it.

it's six o'clock am in moscow. international live from all studio here with me in a day or two to welcome to the program. the chinese leader has a. trip to the russian capital. a joint media conference with the russian president. has been following the talks one of the most telling things that they had to say was that and this was said by both sides by the russians and the chinese the relations now between russia and china. they have be in history and that is something that. the jury in the various appearances by the two leaders is not going to. seek and a heavy between both sides. congratulating each other. in

that. big personally vital in reaching in improving relations between russia and china and getting them to the level where they are now the chinese leaders said he felt almost at home here in russia obviously they talked about many things they agreed on corporation and agriculture in space and business in the media almost every sphere you can talk about they side deals with twelve billion dollars a day what will smiles about at this trip i doubt it will go down in the memory books.

chinese businessman who told me that ice cream is very much enjoyed as i promised to my old box of russian ice. they also talked about north korea which is just carried out another ballistic missile test. you know to go along with its alleged pursuit of nuclear weapons and here they came out with a surprising statement they said that perhaps north korea might impose a moratorium on nuclear weapons tests as well as ballistic missile tests if south korea and the united states stopped with the endless drills and games that they

hold in the area on north korea's north korea's doorstep they said that perhaps that would help to reduce tensions in the area that meanwhile the pentagon and reportedly dodo trump has said that it is time to increase pressure in north korea even further isolated to force it to draw down on its military ambitions the chinese leader of course is now going to the g twenty summits and on with lie to me a putin but a strong message from them both. north korea such a situation with jackie julie asia pacific defense consultant welcome back to the program now as we just heard russia and china suggest that the u.s. stop its joint drills with south korea in the region. how do you think this would help or not or do you agree that the escalation is the way forward. well the escalation is clearly the way

forward i think what north korea has established today is that the era of strategic patience as we like to say in washington is really just beginning it's not over. this new development isn't the use of any new technology far from it it's sixty year old technology what north korea is doing is making it essential that the powers that surround it in particular the nuclear powers in gage with it now politically in a system of negotiations and eventually treaties that will bring north korea into the global community of nuclear powers that's a big change but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's a dangerous change here i mean they have not been scared to breach the u.n. resolution have they they've continuously done that washington's trying to put pressure on china but this is a joint call now between beijing and moscow will washington heed to the cold for

the escalation do you think though that will take take action. well i think the chinese foreign ministry today said it best when they called for. calm and restraint so that all of the sides can get together and begin to resolve this difference there there's no north korea hasn't gained any useful military capability here. should they ever launch a strike the consequences would be catastrophic for north korea so they don't expect them to gain any military advantage what they're looking for and what they've achieved now is status as a nuclear power and that status will convey political advantages clearly washington moscow and beijing will have to cooperate on this issue to bring the right kind of pressure to bear to bring north korea to the table and eventually to create the

same kind of arms control regime that has kept ballistic missiles from being used since they were first launched in one nine hundred fifty eight they're the way forward here is political it's not military and it's going to be very slow it won't be marked by sudden breakthroughs that's what we've seen in all of the negotiated arms control agreements since the original start talks of the salt back in the sixty's i mean you're saying that the solution is political not military and we seem to be getting contradictory rhetoric from the trumpet ministration don't we so at the moment we're getting reports of the pentagon is considering a show of force. how helpful how useful a comments like this how could that play out if they do show whatever that means a show of force. well we've i think all sides have had some experience with that in the last few years and that seems to

satisfy some short term domestic political objectives but it doesn't change the facts on the ground north korea now has at least a limited ballistic missile capability they have at least a limited nuclear weapons capability the question is how will the world deal with the emergence of this new set of facts the experience of the last sixty years is very consistent here it's that the only way forward that actually works is to bring the parties together and to negotiate that's clearly the hope of the north korean regime and you see that today when they are a bit heavy handed by immediately demanding you know changes in the exercise regime and so forth it's not likely that that'll happen but what is likely is that quiet diplomacy will emerge here. as a way of engaging north korea and the regional partners including the japanese by

the way in limiting and incenting the right kind of behavior from north korea. pacific defense consultant great to have you on this issue thanks for coming on to . austin has been summoned by the vienna supported plans to deploy troops at the borders between the two countries it's all happening amidst an increased influx of michael and same to italy. has more. there has been summonsed over the fact that vienna has said it could deploy up to seven hundred fifty troops to the border with italy they're ready to be deployed at any point and it has already deployed a number of armed personnel carrier to the border to the brain a pass which is

a mountainous pass between italy and austria and that's because austria is concerned about the growing influx of migrants to italy which may then cross its border into austria so basically what they're trying to do they're trying to say that they will shore up their own borders if there is a continued influx of people moving northwards from italy now that's because in the last few years hoffer million migrants have landed on a tally and shores many of them not wanting to stay in italy and if we look at the figures this year alone the un migration agency says around one hundred thousand migrants have landed on european soil from the mediterranean sea since january of this year and the majority of those more than eighty four thousand have landed in italy alone now i was in the italian island of sicily over the last few days in the city of palermo looking at some of the issues that have been caused by this

mounting my current crisis and what we saw on the streets there the fact that many of the mafia gangs have now teamed up with migrant gangs and they're actually forcing migrants to work for them in criminal activities such as selling drugs we've seen over the past few weeks migrants being stopped particularly on the french italian border and being forced to go back to italy now italy has just said it feels abandoned it just cannot cope with this mounting crisis what started as a call for help by italy now looks like it could be turning into a diplomatic crisis as countries in the e.u. look to close their borders off with a. counterpart leaving italy do in dealing under the continued pressure crisis. in fact the un refugee agency has already expressed their concern over the issue according to it of the country should also share the responsibility to discuss this further we can now cross live to

a tally and journalist and i'm as ernie now and thanks for coming on to the program we've seen the ambassador being summoned what is likely to happen next. what it's like to happen next is a very difficult difficult question i can tell you for certain what happened right now. what happened. years. managing the migrants a lot now we are totally left alone by europe and this is a big big problem and this is the problem these are european problem and so now as you said in your presentation about from a general view of this year about the one hundred thousand people try to get to europe through the admitted to very limited area and see. eighty five thousand reach the shores they thought their shores our european shores and here we are to a terrible shameful blackness over europe doesn't have

a vision europe doesn't want to stand with italy in trying to manage these big big phenomenon he's not. born today or yesterday it's a crisis of glory in god in the last two or three years and the numbers now are really very very. measured and you've mentioned that italy feels alone in dealing with this crisis and believes other european countries aren't involved enough but what about the fact that the e.u. on monday promised italy more support in the handling of the influx of these migrants doesn't answer the question for rome that help is on the way. and yeah. you have to say always says that they are very supportive but yet the when we come to the reality to the concrete choices of the singles thing we hear of will. we see the wall to mr mike from said from france he said that he cannot accept economic my grandson which are the eighty percent basically of the

migrants and he was thinking to close the borders the same said the also throughout they wanted to deploy the troops on the border so this is really really shameful i think that this is a problem that strasburg in brussels they have to manage not the alone because we are doing the really a great the great job and we bore to you that the migrants we support the people we saved many lives all these people coming through the sea and that we i repeat we feel you are the sensation will is that we are told all the. other other countries that they have seemed ready to welcome more refugees we've seen in spain where thousands took to the streets of madrid do you think other governments now will be more welcoming considering the crisis at hand. i think that's.

the whole thing about italian government. the government said the we were thinking to close all work or it's not true this is not possible and i'm sure that you know you want the courts. the problem is that spain too decided to close the force france to this article supports it and all we can do what he's trying to manage trying to stop. ministry of internal affairs said to stop all the for a angel was bringing the migrants to they tell your shores to the italian ports but that this is a very difficult and hard work as you can imagine because. there are people every day trying to get to all work. and moreover a since the beginning of the year more than two thousand people died in the ready to run you know and that these kids will be. they can also say it's terrible situation than

a missoni thanks very much for talking to us. don't go away they'll be more news after this break. people with stories to tell. those who deserve to be heard from. inside. the studio and you see it for its. users. to see first and since. they're here to speak are you there to hear. obama care childcare designed to kill people because it is doing its job just like the architects of the ground our in london and the folks have put up the flammable cladding to kill people that's their culpability and the people who have designed this health care are doing so to kill

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 job payments and grants going to. welcome back to the program germany's interior minister says the country expects russia to interfere in september's general election. on of the house that intel. interior minister thomas to marry as they were speaking at a press conference here in berlin where he said that in his opinion russia will try and influence the twenty seventeen general election here in germany he said he

expects data that was stolen during a computer on the bundestag back in twenty fifteen will be made public over the coming weeks now back in twenty fifty when that happened all fingers of blame were pointed out of russia however still no proof of an investigation was proved that it had to be a russia had any involvement in that sutta longside him at the same time was hans mohsen he's the head of germany's interior security services the bear file very similar in many ways to say m i five in the u.k. or the f.b.i. in the united states he said that there wasn't any indication that russia would try to influence any particular or support any particular candidate or party which then clover or begs the question why would they do it in the first place it's a lot of effort to go into to influence and try and change the outcome of somebody's election if you have no particular care over who comes out on top as the

winner in the end of the. york musson heads up also issued a report or which they list russia as one of the top three cyber security risks to germany but if we cast our minds back to you to february of this year just a few months ago the german security services issued a report in which they said there was no evidence that russia was attempting to undermine the government of angela merkel this all brings us back to what we've seen in the united states previously in france as well where there are elections following their actions and even in the lead up there were claims that russia was trying to influence those votes well despite there being some serious. allegations made and. those allegations being made on oath there's been no investigation no proof that anything actually took place so because bring it i and seeing what war comes out of the interior minister here in germany mr marson the head of internal security just to see what if they come up with any evidence for their claims that

russia may be trying to influence the twenty seventeen german general. after all the first server the trump administration's possible links to the kremlin the u.s. and russian presence will finally come face to face the two are to meet at the g twenty summit in hamburg this friday well let's cross live now to our kate partridge for more details kate moscow washington and have experienced a lot of tension this year can we expect much from the talks. or yes even moscow has admitted that relations between the u.s. and russia are at their zero mark botch the kremlin and the white house have confirmed that presidents trump and putin will meet on the sidelines of the g. twenty though many are predicting that this could be the primary issue at the g twenty summit given the fact that for the past six months or so russia and trump have dominated the headlines well what is it they're going to be talking about it's well first of all it will be ukraine and also then syria which promises to be very

saudi indeed after the white house issued an unfounded prediction that president assad would unleash an another chemical attack in syria and all this that also comes on the back of what's been happening in hamburg itself the location for the g. twenty there have been violent protests and demonstrators are promising they'll be more of them and also there's been scandal in the german police hundreds of officers who were meant to be providing security for the event have been sent home due to inappropriate behavior and then this president urges his bodyguards the turkish president these bodyguards have been told not to come therefore that's caused even more tension between turkey and of course europe so this g. twenty promises to be very fascinating indeed. certainly will be artie's kate part of playing for the update. while there's just hours left for qatar to decide on whether to submit to an ultimatum from a society led bloc that sanctioned the gulf state the deadline now expires at

midnight on tuesday after it was extended by forty eight hours while let's take a closer look at the demands put forward by saudi arabia bahrain egypt and the emirates the bloc once qatar to cut its ties with iran and militant groups named by the saudis and their allies as terrorists qatar has also been told to shut down a turkish military base on its territory the thirteen point list includes a demand for qatar to close all of its international news outlets including al-jazeera and the saudi led bloc once doe hard to seize contacts with political opposition groups in the country tory officials have spoken out in defiance of the ultimatum. this list of. demands made to be rejected it's not to be accepted or not made to be negotiated. not an easy country to be swallowed only what. we already do we stand ready to defend or what good to you. if

you look at the map you can see that qatar is a small country it may be small but it's significant a regional power player the us has two military facilities near doha one of which is washington's largest base in the middle east turkey's first military bases in the region it's also in qatar with two nations often holding joint drills across the gulf is iran which shares the world's biggest natural gas field with qatar there ha has been criticized by the society bloc for its cooperation with tehran political science professor and. thinks that this latest round could lead to a full blown war that is not going to to lead. that is leading to war conflict escalation of the conflict most probably the war our world needs to know how evolution. is 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 anymore just hold. this whole issue is not the worse it to go into escalated conflict. destruction. over to portugal now where the president has admitted a military warehouse close to the capital lisbon has been raided officials haven't given any specific details although only have emerged claiming to state the amount of weaponry and munitions that have gone missing the president called for an investigation adding it's not the first raid of its kind. we must still really investigate old the facts similar incidents have been reported in other countries over the past two years newspaper reports suggest more than one hundred fifty grenades were taken out of a huge range of equipment stored in the warehouse hundreds of bullets and units of

plastic explosives were also taken the country's defense minister has warned that the weapons are likely to find their way on to the black market and nature reports stated back in twenty eleven that if such a thing was to happen weapons and munitions would likely be used in terror plots. thanks a lot international markets kaiser is in mexico city taking a look at the investment opportunities.

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 thousand nine hundred eighty 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 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 and 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 compliance with s.b.c.

law but they said we are ahead of the f.c.c. we're innovators they then when it back in 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 as you see 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 the critic weigh 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 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 the 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. pot 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 the trend has 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 represented 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.u. knows so what does that mean that means i suppose or bad no it means the market making technology for theory needs to be improved you can borrow from i 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 but you know in terms of banks 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 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 american said

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 or 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 and 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 were 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 ca 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 it 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 supporting a program written by the heritage institute a very far right wing economic think tank and it's a little bit. obamacare is not quite as bad as trump care but they both kill well is obamacare and child care designed to kill people because of it is doing its job just like the architects of the growth of tower of london and the folks that put a. flammable cladding did 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 will 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 his 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 a day also of the p.r.i. party the prepared that runs this government were in 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 is plundering of his own state left to their rooms. has come to symbolize a culture of corruption that reigns in mexico and one scam has become emblematic of his greed allegations that children battling cancer 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 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 and 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 that 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 just that they're 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 well we've got to so don't go away stay right there. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the sixty's pull along with the only show i go out of my way to find you know it was just really packed a punch. yeah because the john oliver of hard to america is doing the same we are apparently better than blue that. you see people you've never heard of love redacted the night. president of the world bank. take. me seriously send us an e-mail welcome to the wonderful world of blood donation i come here

every three weeks to get my transfusion to be specific i receive immunoglobulin 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. half of all plasma based drugs today come from private companies and are produced from paid plasma as well as. the role. and. one of the risks of a donation. then is proof that the frequency of pathologies is much higher in paid donations and it. if i was. over two years old he was. in the money using the drug and who runs the blood business.

what politicians do. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and. want to. have to go right to be close to see what will befall three of them all can't be good. i'm interested in the water outage. this should. say. that won't be cheap. and then through all the countries let's. get right. you are scum he said if you. look to the past.

the discomfort. this is what we don't understand how we are in such a. person through the lens of the same time. similar. if the minutes of. got. on the computer with the plane. to come back to the three story you have to see. the. movie.

welcome back to the kaiser report imax guys are loving it in xico yeah i would like to resume my conversation with columnist and economist alexandra nato welcome back thanks very much all right we were covering the entire you know mexican economy is stagnating we talked about why the previous episode you know the money doesn't seem to drop to the bottom line it goes off shore basically sort of the corruption of the panama papers revealed exciter and it's. i mean you have a policy package that conspires against growth and you've been implementing the sponsored package 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

stagnant because how do you control inflation the mexican policy maker 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 compress wages if you look at wages in mexico you think wages 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 is ok so you repress wages you restrict public expenditures because this is a major component of our group at the moment so you restrict. expenditures you increase interest rates and you use the changed 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 a policy package that is crystallized and fixed in by nafta so this when i say we

need to get rid of nafta we need to recover space for economic policy 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 development hey look at the world today look at the amount of oil we have left that's not going to happen we need new priorities both at the macro economic level but also at the sector level we need to recover our good at the agricultural sector has been devastated by napa for example so there's 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. i should say forces say it came in as a xian ism it's. an ism if you want to say that but it's you know it is really a combination of instruments that princes growth employment and fiscal revenue so if you have a package for mexico. economic policy has really. a little

into this. morning of stagnation ok so on protestors around the strait they're saying the reagan factor as i'm the monitor ization of the economy the financialization a nail liberalization started in the eighty's the early eighty's and that period they talked about the devastation was done to america and the united kingdom include mexico in that analysis neoliberalism financialization giving banks the wherewithal to run roughshod over the entire economy in 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 drops and everything will be but they stimulated through allowing the debt to increase no users you enter but you fight inflation by repressing wages

the wage the real wage level of the united states thank you made it since one thousand nine hundred eighty three that period was growing after the war and then you know you see the curve the historical perspectives and i mean thirty three it flattens in the never comes back again what increase was invented this ok so i just did it yeah absolutely ok so legally though my point and always done it. so far along 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. they'll say must be great the economy is great everyone's great national poverty everyone's rich and you have terrible flows and you have a serious and 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 who let me say i was running it well it's not it's a it's a but it's a consortium of banks it is has funds it's the guys that brought the global financial system this is not a well we've 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 meaning on your own or your band ok so you've got carson's here or the. steam carstens augustine carson there shows about the crowd is the guy that came from my you math etc always and i have caught a crab and 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 of sandy toe of uniquely posters everywhere get to spend ditto carson's garson so it's a bandito that's right he said with a global banditos course like all of these guys are ok exactly study grossly marketing in 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 without for bogart. i'm sure you'll watch a tear to 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 chaos and then you know the scene that we this is a wire economy after being bombarded government step away america come eric eric grab the alligator right there in 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 got 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 i did 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 you say 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 picture this think came from the cops. what was it eighteen was in denmark in copenhagen that's when the 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 so 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 the countries that we're going to cut emissions by forty five percent in twenty twenty five that you actually do the list let's strengthen that agreement you don't pull out of a better agreement you know that is so important as a parent agree never disclosed talking shop santa do i think i mean trump said he's at the level of his anti new world order especially because it by putting america first you create more competition what's happened is useful than a disagreement and you have corporations and countries competing with each other to bring in a better agreement and competition works instead of a global talking shop of nobody doing nothing well the thing is that i mean he's not putting america first he's way back now so i mean listen if you want to develop where is where is the the if you going to need. renewable energy and you going to change the profile of the energy use in the global economy. you want to be

producing you want to be with the companies that are going to be producing solar and wind and you know the renewable energy industry what's happening in mexico and well what's happened in the us is i mean you are you are giving you are you know this is not improving the situation of american companies mexico is you know we don't have an industrial policy so we have some investments in solar we have an advantage in solar as you can see right now we could use that a lot but we don't have an industrial policy down so i don't know any way noble encouragement knowing that it's not only incurring that's just beyond irresponsible for that's that's like that's like terrorism it's not it's not our fault i would say it's not our fault whose fault is it well we negotiated agreements that includes w t o that impedes the use industrial policy instruments like for example performance requirements for foreign investment you cannot do that

anymore well we would like to use the purchasing power of the public sector you cannot use that anymore there are agreements if you look at w.t. oh look we have our hands about now though you theo today is a minor player in the global arena because because of the financial crisis the real big tiger is our friend national sector the age of the financial sector got about a minute left quickly i think i'm sorry i just want to cover this yeah china are they big in mexico are they what's going on if i think they're anything mexico. getting bigger but they are not right now they are not let's say the central force that orients the mexican economy but i think as they are a bit like that all over the world all they're investing and they're bringing the best but i think they are probably more active another latin american countries and mexico really doesn't like to think america will continue to meddle in mexican elections the way they have been for decades absolutely sure it's really you know need put in to be accused of that i mean it's of course these. guys have been

meddling in elections not only in mexico but the world wanted to blatantly late night meddling users so you're telling me it's true ok eric in the battle of mexican elections oh yeah you're the brother you know you would be fit through absolutely and they miss middleton all over latin american social merican south america dance i think it really they get rid of the demichelis elected leaders and stick in dictators and intended to lay and then they'd meddle during the elections and after the elections are young they want to lose and then what happened as a russian ever meddled in the to your knowledge here in mexico i don't think so i mean i don't think i'm that. that's not the and they were i work they were never at bush yes very lovely absolutely got to go there thanks michelle ok thank you very much specs are with us going to do if this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser stacy herbert snappy the alligator. got a good saturday happy he likes to eat central bankers. so i give to you even though
