4:05 am
a rumor and we can't confirm it but it would explain the unexpectedly easy fight iraqi troops wouldn't let us into the center of telephone saying would still far too dangerous but having spent some time here in the suburbs we haven't seen a single civilian most of them ran when your opportunity presented itself as the battle began braving the merciless presence in order to get away before the iraqi military in the u.s. led to release and brits the bad. might file a fraud of the facility and we'll come back to question how much of tal afar there be left to come back to more i guys dia. from telephone iraq. the syrian army but by russian forces has destroyed where the most active islamic.

you know the group that is part of the h.t.s. now is neuros in key spine chilling pictures of a child being executed apparently broad recognition over other tara factions after filming this video the boy was beheaded. this atrocity raised many questions about washington's vetting in syria if you're able to report is this the kind of thing that would. the fact assistance. us is to. this specific group but also just in general to the fs. well i think we take it you know if as you said if we can. prove that this was indeed what happened and this group was involved in it i think it would certainly give us pause. give you pause will give us pause about any assistance or or even frankly any. further involvement with this group so i think we are two of the most notorious groups among
4:09 am
a total of seventy in this new conflict of terror well armed and under the same command ready to strike in c.s. key syrian cities middle east expert joshua landis told us that this new terror groups already overwhelmed other factions in the area it's quite clear that the domination of the how to shama over the adler province. has militarized it even groups like the sinking which had been allied with the united states went over and fell under the control of this more dominant jihad ist group so it is a big problem for both the united states turkey russia iran in the coming months what to do with it lip province it's like that there but they'll have to be a military solution to it al qaida cannot be allowed to build itself up and to use northern syria as
4:10 am
a base from which to launch attacks against the west or the united states although they claim not to support assad are clearly looking to the syrian government as an ultimate solution for their all kind of problem in syria. rival protests musa to berkeley descended into chaos and the fascist demonstrators broke through police barricades during a rally against hate there as it was placed with right we're not to. was. i. was i was her fraud to rest at least and sticks mosques and then the other potential weapons but seems dozens of bounty factions protesters broke those rules those supposed spread the

leader of the conservative group one left wing demonstrator attacked a photographer reportedly threatened people who were trying to film the violence meantime there's video filmed by a reporter there has to show proof of must anti hushes protesters beating a right wing demonstrator six people were injured thirteen arrests were made is kind of move on with the move but at least. we're here outside of the work of the civic center in downtown berkeley california as you can see around me there's a huge crowd of people calling themselves anti fascist protesters these are people that assemble to calendar a right wing rally that was called for today for this afternoon and the slogan say no to mark says well these are posts here that object to a number of the people involved with that recorded right wing rally are considered to be white supremacy and fascism assemble to denounce it while the nazis may have a right to demonstrate we've got a right to show that there are a million points towards us and there are them any time a group preaches the hatred that you've seen from the outright i think it's only
4:12 am
human toe match that even if it's not the most mature reaction it's only human to match that with some kind of anger and aggression if you really want to stand for nonviolence you would take the side against people that speak for violence including politicians such as donald trump one thing that is widely present is the folks who call themselves and ti vos some of them also would call themselves the black bloc people with masks over their faces oh you know how much goggles they're here for a fight almost i mean they give that impression. seen repeatedly truck folks try to come into the crowd begin you know begin sending out their message state making statements in support of the trial in the crowd going to circling up the police moving and scuffles breaking out. and it was. you know. this is just one illustration of the ongoing division that continues to take place
4:13 am
across the united states especially in the aftermath of charlottesville a lot of different views being expressed here a lot of anger but a lot of folks that just saying they're worried about their country there seems to be a lot of division on the far left and the far right political violence in the streets so a lot of different messages here in downtown berkeley california. is seem to be me tom the vice chairman of the libertarian party of info told us violence is being used across america these days a lot of the normalize ation of violence that we're seeing is happening because even at the government level we're seeing situations in which the government settles its disputes with violence that there's a dispute with the islamic world is settling in with violence if there's a dispute with drugs they settle that with violence and that example needs to change so one possibility will be a wholesale rejection of violence at the personal level and at the governmental level and that would be an incredible opportunity for american growth but the other possibility is an increasing cycle of violence where violence is normalize or
4:14 am
becomes more and more part of our politics and of violent politics is a rejection of everything american stands for is that we're able to settle our dispute with out violence it is one of the things that has set america part since our founding and to see that going in this direction to me is just heartbreaking i want to see it stop. after targeting confederate monuments the split in us society is now moving to the world of the big screen siegel's certainly in the next story going to tell you about where a cinema in memphis is cancelled the annual showing of the one nine hundred thirty nine classic movie gone with the wind the other comics love and civil war was reportedly accused of being racist in these sensitive by america's left wing writer a political activist jeffrey mark klein believes that these days everything from monuments to award winning films the country's left wingers trying to rewrite america's history i feel like most people recognize that the removal of historical statues seems to be an attempt to rewrite america's history and not showing
4:15 am
historically significant movie would also be an example of trying to rewrite america's history based on margaret mitchell's novel gone with the wind a set on a southern plantation during the civil war and reconstruction period still to be one of the greatest film love stories ever out. so now the cancellation of the thirty four years is fired up social media here we go several one site said it was incredulous that that film was dropped others stress that should be out of the politics sudden tweets were accompanied with the hashtag how to mcdaniel she's the actress who played the housemaid who became the first african-american to be nominated for an emmy deed to win an academy award
4:16 am
back then the film's producer collaborated closely with the rights groups to prevent accusations of racism jeffrey markland believes that the cancellation actually goes against identity politics of the left to. it's kind of insane that they would claim this movie is insensitive when hattie mcdaniel is the first black person to win an oscar so that movie has very historical significance even just for that fact it's a it's a cinematic feat it progressed film forward both in terms of the art of filmmaking the art of storytelling and progressiveness i mean that a lot of people who claim this movies and sensitive care so much about identity politics they should be excited about the fact that hattie mcdaniel is an oscar winner because of this movie coming up dissatisfaction with the french president rising at home and abroad we'll tell you why that is a more after the break. bitcoin

been awarded nine hundred million dollar contracts by the pentagon and this comes as u.s. north korea nuclear tension continues to simmer next in samir a column takes a look at seeming obsession with nuclear weapons sparking fears of war. on the campaign trail donald trump promised to boost a weakening military as soon as i take office i will ask congress to fully eliminate the defense request and was submitted new budget to rebuild our military it is so depleted we will. now the u.s. is already the global leader in military spending with a defense budget that's roughly the size of these nine countries combined despite this president trump says he wants more and here's how he's planning on spending u.s. taxpayer money we are committed to expanding and improving a state of the art missile defense system to shoot down missiles in flight. and we're getting better and better and better at it it's actually incredible what's taking place but missile defense systems are just the tip of the iceberg in this

latest military gold rush on thursday it was announced that the us air force will develop a new nuclear cruise missile a project that's been in the pipeline for years but now given the green light thanks to commander in chief president trump and this is all great news for industry giants lockheed martin and raytheon both have been enjoying soaring stock market values ever since trump's inauguration but with the money flowing the risks are apparently being overlooked back in two thousand and fifteen former secretary of defense william j. perry said the nuclear missile project should be dropped because they can be launched without warning incoming both nuclear and conventional variants cruise missiles are uniquely destabilizing type of weapon but destabilization seems to be the least of concerns for the new administration the effect of the trillion dollar trillion dollar plus so-called modernization would have the effect of making possible for u.s. policymakers to believe that they could launch a first strike nuclear war there would be extremely dangerous development and it
4:21 am
reminds us of in the nineteen fifties when the soviet union was really very far behind the united states there are repeated discussions at the highest levels of the us government whether or not to launch a preemptive nuclear war since the end of world war two peace has been achieved through nuclear deterrence and the balance of power hopefully this concept isn't lost on president trump as he sets out on his quest for an even stronger military sabera con r.t.e. washington d.c. the french president to meet today with the leaders of germany italy and spain they're expected to cover migration defense an economy but as you know. relations with another e.u. member states seem to be souring. i think that baldwin statements are another error in the strategy of the country and the manifestation of how this country wants to position itself on the margin of europe's history present and future the state just today to isolate itself in the functioning progress of europe poland is not
4:22 am
isolating itself and has not been isolated it was it seems to me that president maccarone carelessly follows media reports and doesn't know what's going on in our part of europe still it happens sometimes. perhaps kranz are going comments result from lack of political experience which i can understand but i expect that he will make up for the shortcoming and will do more restraint in the future and meantime seems dissatisfaction at home is looming for a man or a crowd look at. what it is that according to this poll in the wake of mortgages according to this latest poll for a french newspaper less than half of those surveyed approve of his policies. and contrast that to the same point in their presidencies his previous s's nicolas sarkozy for instance had sixty nine percent the same time friends were a lot ok not so good fifty four but still more we are some people in paris about macross apparent fall from grace the. it doesn't surprise me that what he's doing
4:23 am
is making human popular nobody supports his proposal for extending working hours i think he's supported by the rich class and the people who won't vote for him are now seeing that he doesn't serve our interests. which i was elected on a promise for change and i think he will be making many changes to labor laws and other things the french people are too closed minded when it comes to changing benefit reform so it's not surprising that his ratings are forming. it's very rare for presidents popularity to increase so i'm not too surprised we need to give him time to get things done you want their actions so we need to live with that. one of the main points of discontent has been macross labor reform program it led to violent protests across the country he is also been widely criticised too for slashing public spending and the curbing of military budget and another up to when housing benefits were cut but his plummeting ratings it's believe mccrone is change his communication strategy to make it more open the editor in chief of the people

debt out of control could have even caused a domino effect on the whole european economy not only some to pigs. but what was going on in europe in contrast to the free markets invisible hand. which improves the lives of people the governments invisible foot. trampled on people's hopes and destroys their jury. the word spread and austerity had entered into everyday speech but no one more time sequence since the economic crisis would entailed be taken to the streets across spain to join the general strike that's stretching throughout europe that still
4:32 am
european politicians who shared us with the crisis would be applying effective economic recipes and structural reforms. after four years of austerity the economic conditions of the pigs are even worse but the european press continues to believe that corruption in the. once are the sources of our problems and at this point we deserve this crisis. praise for the german. and. then that are bullied sequel with us you have a natural immunity to look at all any opposed to nostalgia and a lot of quizzical as a kid out of the state and. local machine.
4:33 am
that is sound at the big kid you know the by engine one chip if he's an invalid he had to deal with unless she for all countries do we wish the weaker economies are. working hard to be spendthrift and so it's mostly complete nonsense for example greeks work. more hours per week than germans do. in one thousand nine hundred two the my strict treaty was signed and the european union was formally born. but let's take a break because this story also talks about. that in that very same year founded the social cooperatives. me of which he is now president in twenty four years proudly in their colleagues and given back dignity to those who are just been released from mental hospitals schools prisons or simply from their homes they left
4:34 am
with the fam a few up to cottle full of crazy people they drove around on door a small town in north of from under the eyes of the outraged locals and they got to change the face of their city a cooperative has dealt with more than five hundred people with disabilities and more than five thousand people took advantage of it serves a tenth of the population of mt to return today the likely risk is that it would be . shutdown triggering a real social bump in the world and in e.p.a. to. one hundred. percent say. with macroeconomics you can understand the limits in then with microeconomic you understand everything that happens inside of those limits so macroeconomics might put you in this room and then micro would be everything that happens inside the room until the new found out to kill it into any of the stuff that you will send it that someone's about to step down. if you send one hundred dogs into the room to
4:35 am
get some bones there's only ninety five there you've got a macro problem a structural problem five of those dogs are going to get anybody. cheating on playing the dish and to me that it is now the micro time this psychologist will take those five dogs out and they'll examine them and then they'll say ok they need more training we need structural reforms they need exercise they'll exercise them in trainer teach about a fight hard case bones and then they run the experiment again they send the guard to get in sure enough the next time those dogs get in on a. mean admission. and tell what had. been said. but they forget this is going to be just five other dogs that don't get bones because there's a macro problem it's good to have better dog stronger darts faster darts but if the problem is to short five bones the short five bucks is nothing the micro can do
4:36 am
about. it is it really possible that there is such a narrow bond between the upper floors of economic power and the small room every day problems is it true that we are one hundred dogs in a room with only ninety five bones and who decides when the bones must be ninety five or one hundred. we'll. keep the. people blaming you have. you. even if you need to see. your i blame me.
4:37 am
for the little. bit of people of color more than want to. give a shit on logic. that i really miss. bazy belief. that is starting to treat shaken to its very allegation today you had one hundred fifty billion pounds opened up today. and. all the other big question tonight the fate of the balance of employees who work in the building. the u.s.

financial crisis spread to europe in the form of sovereign debt crisis and quickly turned into an economic crisis. so there's a lot of the started about what's going to come out of. but democracy was never the strongest suit or european union. the only way of imposing such highly. toxic policies of its shifting the losses from the banks onto the shoulders of the weakest taxpayers of europe. whatever the next.
4:40 am
feel a. massive government intervention launched a new. economy creating jobs balance and social conflicts in protecting the weakest segments of the population this was called the new deal. there were family. and they're going to. come over to the new deal was inspired by the father of macro economics john maynard keynes argued the need for public intervention in the economy of the nation on the opposite side milton friedman yes that treatment of freedom and economic consumption of the bloodthirsty dictator pinochet theories remain the source of current economic policies of the past and anything we can do to keep down government spending is a good thing we should restrict it to those activities like defense which we really
4:41 am
need to do. because it's a political decision is why in the past i've called it a crime against humanity because it's active decision to kind of walk they have run out of money the central bank just credits accounts is no limit to the amount they present so let's see how money is created in the united states. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us exactly just pull on. the only show i go out of my way to judge you know what it is that really packs the . yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than booth. and see people you never heard of love redacted tonight president of the world bank ok but he doesn't really mean it seriously he sent us
4:42 am
an email. with this manufactured incentive to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect them. so. when the primary go round lifts only the woman has a job. but still to ignore middle of the room signals. to lean real news is really cool. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself and taken your last wrong turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry if only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned
4:43 am
on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there were no other takers. to the claim that mainstream media has met its make. good coin saul's for trust it's a mathematical formula that solves for trust think about all the institutions in your life that require trust you trust people on the road are going to be about crashing into you you trust of you doctors professional you trust the hospital is working in a trust third parties all day long but point is the first trust loz international currency that doesn't require trust it just requires consensus to buy into every
4:44 am
ten minutes the protocol and why would you not be buying into the protocol if you're getting fabulously wealthy or watching such a biased collapse of support i like god i mean wealth comes and goes but why. try that's what i like. the federal reserve is not spending money the. federal reserve much the same. but. it was the president of the world's most powerful central bank the u.s. federal reserve troops to learn we simply used the computers to mark up the sars book you're calling the federal reserve we need to preach morning because all work
4:45 am
on the municipal week and then free from the spare room. in the u.s. the creation of money can be focused on public spending especially when the economy is in trouble. in the eurozone instead during hard times this could happen. if. she made sacrifices. and sacrifice today stand ready. to go the. economy and. the big

4:51 am
currency is a currency that is under the control of its issuer so there is an important relationship that exists in any sovereign country that has a sovereign currency the relationship is that the government collects taxes in that currency spends in that currency and has a monopoly over the ability to create that currency so in canada and in the us in australia and britain the governments are the only ones who can create their own currency here in the euro zone governments spend in euro's and taxing arrows but cannot create the currency. issue the idea. that all of the medication the dollars at the end appraise number need to do not put into it that it was there was stern no. it was a new vehicle probably of

a degree to which we've moved there. and these are the countries of the world whose public debt can be a problem because they are on a bill to cry. when you buy u.k. government bonds you know that you will always be v.p. in pound sterling at the moment of maturity because the bank of england will make sure that the cash will now it. is issuing debt bourne's not anymore but in you post and you also are in fact like foreign currencies and as a result if markets distrust of government massively. knowing governments may not have the cash you go cash to pay out to both told us and therefore precipitating a crisis in

please welcome thomas hearns and mr arnold thinks probationer was one of the most important american companies talk shows to realize that you have upset some people in the us. you have someone starting your car for you right now. on the seas on the theories of reinhart and rogoff when the public exceeds ninety percent of g.d.p. it becomes an obstacle to growth however the two great economists had committed on the line in the columns of their ex bridge time and as i've been talking to a lot of the media across the world they've been pretty heartbreaking stories about what's going on in europe and you know i've also seen the effects of it in this country as well why we have to keep cutting the government budget and laying off people until those people get jobs that's right you got it the austerity policies are based on a full blown discount. you know but they see their already using it all over europe and they love it so much that they have celebrations in the street sometimes if i

sometimes just wire in every day. despite seven years having elapsed since the beginning of the crisis the e.c.b. economic studies continue to support the danger of public debts which are too high and the need to cut public spending and the deficit. back also for. two percent. the. equally month immediately meet they didn't get it that we have respect. for them in full to put it to me that i would while it is a. sweet moment ok. is just something that is scientific it's like just something to
4:56 am
no scientific basis for imposing. intelligent people. when you reject this it doesn't make sense if you do death spending you're not adding your stimulus you are giving the economy drugs or you're doing is you're removing a restriction so you want to think of the economy like we do as a i don't think run that's all fair to run it's it's educate it's got good capital goods behind it it's got. lots of lots of food water you know everything you need in your economy housing clothing music production ok but then all of a sudden you put a plastic bag over the head of the satellite and he can't breathe right and so now we can't run any so what we're saying this was remove the restriction. see the style like as a bianca event the busy day in the middle jannat you didn't mean all they've done
4:57 am
the piano do this to mean people reshape the bank up into that it is that you need a federal reserve to stump up the money. when the weekend last decade defeats you will be coming weekend on saturday if you know. they feel the change given in post invasion it will but show who decided and why but the sprinter had to run with a plastic bag over his head. in case you're new to the game this is how it works mark the economy is built around corporation corporations run washington the washington post media the media. and voters elect a businessman to run this country business because power. must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before.
4:58 am
4:59 am
5:00 am
for. well i says this being. entirely. sure to leave behind plenty of surprises. travels the iraqi city of tal afar where government forces now face the painstaking and dangerous task of making that city safe enough supply can start to return at some point. in time in syria as many as twenty five thousand terrorists are believed to have regrouped under the now fighting under one that includes previously backed by the united states.
5:01 am
rally against hate turns violent in the city of. leftwing rioters clash with protests. good afternoon from. day here now this monday in moscow you're watching r.t. international first in this news bulletin the iraqi army has announced most of the city a telephone has been liberated from islamic state militants but with terrorists still holed up in the basements and underground tunnels there's still a long way to go before the city can return to anything like normal next the. reports that are a deadly surprises around almost every corner as he found. then when the islamiah by the islamic state will remain you'll find graffiti like that plastered all over
5:02 am
the bridges and buildings in tied up frog iraq he sent his haven't yet gotten around to covering them up what with being busy fighting a day after the victory was announced here in thailand fighting still hasn't died down isis hiding throughout the city and why they didn't hold any geographic areas or districts entirely they're hiding in basements and buildings and in time rooms underneath the city waiting to ambush patrolling iraqi soldiers. why don't you let them come to it. well i says has been beaten in tal afar they're made sure to leave behind plenty of surprises booby traps everywhere intel a fraud they have turned the city into a sap as nightmare and coming here we were bloomed multiple times not to touch
5:03 am
anything no matter how innocent it might seem for we knew behind these. could be explosives booby traps bradman's behind the time even in the right switches. would be one where officers went into a house and sat on a sofa and exploded and along with the house they had booby trapped the sofa another example they were explosive to light switches when you turn on their lights the house explodes they were bombs into refrigerators and even the door handles when you open the door and explodes. i've just come back from tel afar and you can didn't lie down on the bed without cyprus check and first drop bombs and wires everywhere we don't touch anything. i will do all we can to disarm everything but there is only so much we can do some houses will have to be destroyed. this bomb
5:04 am
was intended for us but the planes and helicopters destroyed the roads and i also couldn't get the car bomb out engineers found it and dismantled it if it had been used it would have done as great damage they disarm the explosive canisters and detonated them in a controlled explosion but it's strange isis folded almost too quickly. there is evidence that around four hundred families of isis fighters were allowed to leave on august twenty fifth in an unspecified direction the rumor among iraqi troops is that as many as two thousand isis fighters have been given safe passage out of tal afar into syria again this is a rumor and we conned confirm it but it would explain the unexpectedly easy fight
5:05 am
iraqi troops wouldn't let us into the center of telephone saying would still far too dangerous but having spent some time here in the suburbs we haven't seen a single civilian most of them ran when your patootie presented itself as the proper background briefing that must for the present in order to put away the fear of the iraqi ministry in the u.s. led to release and threats to their might file a fraud of them civilly and we'll come back to question how much of tal afar there be left to come back to more i guys do you have from talib iraq. the syrian army backed by russian forces has destroyed one of the most active islamic state groups in syria meantime eight hundred militants were killed in the operation in the euphrates valley a large amount of heavy machine guns was destroyed along with tanks and artillery
5:06 am
weapons that's according to him from the russian defense ministry but as i still loses grown tens of thousands of terrorists are uniting it seems on the one planet to fight government forces in syria some of these groups were previously backed by the u.s. says it goes down off reports next. a jihadi army drafted by a group with known links to al qaida can be a good thing. or h.g.'s is a new force in the syrian civil war there are twenty five thousand terrorist fighters consolidated now in northwestern syria in perspective a comparable amount of troops led islamic state in proclaiming its caliphate in half of syria and iraq and this new force has a very familiar face there are dozens of groups many of which were previously backed by the united states most units making up h.t.s. had previously been rallying under the banner of all nusra front brutal massacre
5:07 am
torture rape there have been no boundaries and how far will go to win this war. while generate the highly effective. class gap to bucket full of the extremely toxic chemical weapons on the city this is one of the methods of torture that was used by the militants. and you know the group that is part of the h.t.s. now is neuros in key spine chilling pictures of
5:08 am
a child being executed apparently broad recognition over other tera factions after filming this video the boy was beheaded. this atrocity raised many questions about washington's vetting in syria if you're able to accurately report is this the kind of thing that would. the fact assistance. us is to. this specific group but also just in general to we have to say. well i think we take it you know if as you said if we can. prove that this was indeed what happened and this group was involved in it i think it would certainly give us pause. give you pause or give us pause about any assistance or frankly any. further involvement with this so all new strains inky are two of the most notorious groups among a total of seventy in this new conflict of terror well armed and under the same
5:09 am
command ready to strike in c.s. key syrian cities. middle east expert joshua landis told us that this new terror groups already overwhelmed by the factions in the area. it's quite clear that the domination of the idea to sham over the province. has militarized it even groups like the sink teeth which had been allied with the united states and went over and fell under the control of this more dominant jihad azour birth so it is a big problem for both the united states turkey russia iran in the coming months what to do with it lip products it's like that there but they will have to be a military solution to it al qaida cannot be allowed to build itself up and to use northern syria as a base from which to launch attacks against the west or the united states although
5:10 am
they claim not to support assad are clearly looking to the syrian government as an ultimate solution for their all kind of problem in syria. rival protests musa the of buckley descended the chaos and has demonstrated is they broke through police barricades during a rally against hate and then clashed with right wing activists. was. was. i. was i was her pride to the rest police band styx masks and any potential weapons but it seems dozens of anti fascist protesters broke those rules they also pepper sprayed the leader of a conservative group one left to demonstrate their attack photographer and others
5:11 am
reportedly threatened people who were trying to film the violence here's some video next filmed by report of their appearing to show a group of moscow's anti fascist protesters beating a right wing demonstrate to six people were injured and thirteen arrests were made is column open with more from buckley. burning here outside of the civic center in downtown berkeley california as you can see around me there's a huge crowd of people calling themselves anti fascist chester's these are people that assemble to counter a right wing rally that was called for today for this afternoon was the slogan say no to marxism well these are both here that object to a number of the people involved with that recorded right wing rally are considered to be white supremacy and fascist that assemble to denounce it while the nazis may have a right to demonstrate we've got a right to show that there are a million points are worth us ignore them any time a group preaches the hatred that we've seen from the outright i think it's only human match that even if it's not the most mature reaction it's only human to match
5:12 am
that with some kind of anger and aggression really want to stand for nonviolence take the side against people that speak for violence including politicians such as donald trump one thing that is widely present is the folks who call themselves the anti fossum also would call themselves the black bloc people with masks over their faces you know how much. they're here for a fight almost i mean they get that impression be seen repeatedly try. folks try to come into the crowd begin you know begin sending out their message state making statements in support of the trial in the crowd going to circling up the police moving in and scuffles breaking out. by. the light. is just one illustration of the ongoing division that continues to take place across the united states especially in the aftermath of charlottesville a lot of different views being expressed here a lot of anger but a lot of folks that just saying they're worried about their country and i it's been
5:13 am
quite a quite a crazy scene here in downtown berkeley california you see the vice chairman of the libertarian party of involved told us violence is being normalized these days across america a lot of the normalize ation of violence that we're seeing is happening because even at the government level we're seeing situations with the government settles its disputes with violence that there's a dispute with the islamic world is settling it with violence if there's a dispute with drugs they settle that with violence and bad example needs to change so one possibility will be a wholesale rejection of violence at the personal level and at the governmental level and that would be an incredible opportunity for american growth but the other possibility is an increasing cycle of violence where violence is normalize or becomes more and more part of our politics and of violent politics is a rejection of everything american stands for is that we're able to steadily our disputes with out violence it is one of the things that has set america part since our founding and to see that going in this direction to me is just heartbreaking i
5:14 am
want to see it stop. after targeting confederate monuments the split in us society is now moving to the world the big screen case in point cinema memphis has cancelled the annual showing of the nine hundred thirty nine classic movie gone with the wind an iconic film about the civil war it was reportedly now accused of being racist and insensitive by america's left wing right from political activist jeffrey mark klein believes that these days for a monuments to award winning films the country's leftwing is trying to rewrite america's history. i feel like most people recognize that the removal of historical statues seems to be an attempt to rewrite america's history and not showing historically significant movie would also be an example of trying to rewrite america's history. based on margaret mitchell's novel gone with the wind set in a southern plantation during the civil war and reconstruction periods it's thought
5:15 am
to be one of the greatest love stories ever to make it to the silver screen. so the now the consolation after thirty four years has fired up social media as you'd expect let's check it out some were incredulous that the film was dropped others stress that should be out of politics some tweets were accompanied by the hash tag patty daniel she was the actress who played the housemaid she became the first african-american to be nominated for and to win and the cademy award but then the film's producer about their two collaborated closely at the time with the rights groups to prevent accusations of racism therefore jeffrey mark klein believes the cancellation now actually goes against identity politics of the left. it's kind of insane that they would claim this movie is insensitive when hattie
5:16 am
mcdaniel is the first black person to win the oscar so that movie has very historical significance even just for that fact it's a it's a cinematic feat it progressed film forward both in terms of the art of filmmaking the art of storytelling and progressiveness i mean that a lot of people who claim this movie's insensitive care so much about identity politics they should be excited about the fact that hattie mcdaniel is an oscar winner because of this movie much more to come this month including dissatisfaction with the french president roza good hope on a broad. good
5:17 am
coin saul's for trust it's a mathematical formula. think about all the institutions in your life that require trust you trust people on the road are going to be about crashing into you you trust the doctors professional you trust the hospitals working and you trust third parties all day long but point is the first international currency that doesn't require trust it just requires consensus to buy into every ten minutes the protocol and why would you not be buying into the protocol if you're getting fabulously wealthy or watching central banks collapse i like about it i mean wealth comes and goes and watching stocks of banks crawl into their p. themselves and try.
5:18 am
the u.s. defense giants lockheed martin and raytheon a signal huge surge in sales they've both been awarded nine hundred million dollar contracts by the pentagon this comes as u.s. north korean nuclear tensions continue to simmer next and samir khan takes a look at trump's seeming obsession with nuclear weapons and how it's sparking fears of war on the campaign trail donald trump promised to boost a weakening military as soon as i take office i will ask congress to fully eliminate the defense sequester and was submitted new budget to rebuild our military it is so depleted we will. now the u.s. is already the global leader in military spending with a defense budget that's roughly the size of these nine countries combined despite this president trump says he wants more and here's how he's planning on spending u.s. taxpayer money we are committed to expanding and improving
5:19 am
a state of the art missile defense system to shoot down missiles in flight. and we're getting better and better and better at it it's actually incredible what's taking place but missile defense systems are just the tip of the iceberg in this latest military gold rush on thursday it was announced that the us air force will develop a new nuclear cruise missile a project that's been in the pipeline for years but now given the green light thanks to commander in chief president trump and this is all great news for industry giants lockheed martin and raytheon both have been enjoying soaring stock market values ever since trump's inauguration but with the money flowing the risks are apparently being overlooked back in two thousand and fifteen former secretary of defense william j. perry said the nuclear missile project should be dropped because they can be launched without warning incoming both nuclear and conventional variants cruise missiles are uniquely destabilizing type of weapon but destabilization seems to be the least of concerns for the new administration the effect of the trillion dollar
5:20 am
trillion dollar plus so-called modernization would have the effect of making possible for u.s. policymakers to believe that they could launch a first strike nuclear war there would be extremely dangerous development and it reminds us of in the nineteen fifties when the soviet union was really very far behind the united states there are repeated discussions at the highest levels of the us government whether or not to launch a preemptive nuclear war since the end of world war two peace has been achieved through nuclear deterrence and the balance of power hopefully this concept isn't lost on president trump as he sets out on his quest for an even stronger military. so we are on r.t.e. washington d.c. . in yemen twenty one people killed in a saudi led coalition air strike on a hotel last week if it buried in the country's capital sanaa dozens of people died in that strike among them with the rebels and civilians relatives of the victims blame the saudi led coalition and they're demanding justice. can read about
5:21 am
and they were just workers trying to make a living and they were targeted by warplanes the yemeni people want to show their anger at this crime committed against them i said had to my stands were martyred by the saudi grocers they were farmers they had nothing to do with the war i appealed to the international community to the united nations to punish those who committed this crime no one does and i would demand that international community and the united nations which is remaining silent find a solution for these disparate people. the saudi led coalition for its part described the bombardment as quote a technical mistake a spokesman expressed regret at the collateral damage and offered condolences to the families of the victims meantime another air strike in sanaa friday killed at least fourteen civilians including six children hundreds of locals went to the scene demanding that the coalition stop its bombing campaign in the country and
5:22 am
warning now you may find the following pictures coming up disturbing this little girl is just about what four or five years old was the only member of her family to survive the embarkment the air bombardment she's got concussion the docs say she's fucked in the skull they say but they hope she'll make a full recovery yemeni political analyst told this international efforts of failing and there needs to be a political solution for yemen. international accounting firms are weak they are not capable they're not responsive responsive enough and very efficient to deal with this escalation on a day to day basis yemen comes way beyond the list of priorities when you when you talk it to compare it to other conflicts syria or libya but then it's going to be first of all a comprehensive political solution without a political solution we will be dealing we'd be talking almost on air on a weekly on a weekly basis and more and more civilians will be falling without a comprehensive solution that deal with the grievances from the local level i think
5:23 am
unfortunately this conflict on c.n.n. and any time soon. the french president you to meet today with the leaders of germany italy and spain they're expected to cover migration defense an economy but as he opens dialogue there seems relations with another e.u. member state is souring. i think that all one statements are another error in the strategy of the country and the manifestation of how this country wants to position itself on the margin of europe's history present and future the state just today to isolate itself in the functioning progress a few years poland is not isolating itself and has not been isolated because it seems to me that president maccarone carelessly follows media reports and doesn't know what's going on in our part of europe still it happens sometimes perhaps with crohn's argand comments result from lack of political experience which i can
5:24 am
understand but i expect that he will make up for the shortcoming and will do more restraint in the future and meantime while all that's happening dissatisfaction at home is looming for a man the world look at those latest figures in just over forty percent in august according to the latest poll conducted for a french newspaper less than half of those surveyed approve of his policies right now so at the same time let's contrast and compare the earlier presidencies of his predecessors nicolas sarkozy while he was at sixty nine same time last time you get the drift france where love fifty four percent ok still fair bit more despite all that the government spokes person says the figures can be ignored and mccraw will quote transform the country we are some people in paris but the president's apparent fall from grace. so it doesn't surprise me that what he's doing is making human popular nobody supports his proposal for extending working hours i think he's supported by the rich class and the people who won't vote for him are now seeing
5:25 am
that he doesn't serve our interests oskar my full vote period which is more bottom akron was elected on a promise for change and i think you'll be making many changes to labor laws and other things the french people are too closed minded when it comes to changing benefit reform so it's not surprising that his ratings of foreign all of us into this very rare for presidents popularity to increase not to surprised we need to give him time to get things done to one direction so we need to live with that one of the main points of discontent has been mccraw as labor reform program led to violent protests across the country is also widely criticized for slashing public spending and curbing the military budget another runner up to two and housing benefits were cut amid is plummeting ratings it's believe that micron has changed his communications strategy to make it more open the editor in chief for the people magazine thanks a critical look at the french president and his policies right now. this country and the spirit race maybe it's no surprise to anybody. french will be
5:26 am
satisfied. you should let me tell. you the straight right polish prime minister said that mr mcveigh was a. strike because what he said. what he said a new piece later he's out of. this. criticized for being a true racist something which is totally to much it can joke but it will make you sick things tranced credible she said for example that the french all want to see that they work for. all those stories and so much more although you should see don't call me i'm kevin owen thanks for watching it's coming up to twenty six minutes now past midday moscow time.
5:27 am
what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want. to going to be close with what the before you can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of. the city. with up close some of the. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs.
5:28 am
5:29 am
welcome to sophie. shevardnadze while the climate and environmental issues may seem less serious on the breaking news of the day the ecology actually lays at the roots of many of today's global troubles. what exactly are the implications of climate change on the politics of the world well today i talked to the russian presidential envoy for environment and transportation who once also served as russia's defense minister. is my guest today. is a logical. green energy source is the effects of climate change will get harder as we move into an uncertain future with the environment and increasing pressing issues for the coming decades so are we heading into an age of eco wars how the problems of overpopulation and scars resources. and world powers are quickly. through the course of nature. so they have on the presidential and way for
5:30 am
environment transportation see really great program once again. so let's talk about what about the paris climate record lot of politicians government scientists historic. present traum he says he doesn't care about the climate change is actually pledged to cancel the paris accord me with him you never know because one day he says one thing and the day he says never think so what should we expect we trust his statements to starts with. we all know what you said before. well it's a matter. in this sense we have. well as you know the paris change agreement has been signed and in fact it's already ratified by one hundred thirty six countries. russia hasn't yet done its because we want to carefully
5:31 am
analyze the consequences of this parrot various. climate change agreement it's a framework agreement we want to let's say count. the huge amount of russian forests which absorbs a lot of. the uk since carbon dioxide because in fact russia is the world's dawna in ecology russia absorbs much more carbon dioxide that it then introduce. so we want to make sure that our obligations will be fulfilled as president putin said during the signing of the paris agreement we have a very ambitious a of cutting. carbon dioxide emissions. so the level of sense seventy percent counting from the nineteen ninety which is very ambitious and
5:32 am
i'm sure will hit the target by the year two thousand and eight if you don't mind we're going to talk in detail about the downfall step this treaty could cost the russian economy but before that why i ask about trump statement is because i remember for instance with the kyoto protocol on global warming. it crumbled after bush abandoned it some thinking of trying does the same it does it risk that the states that are involved will sort of say we don't need this treaty and more looks awfully driving you to comment on the american position all the time as a said. regardless of the american position. we're concerned with the climate change with think that there is a global warming at least on the north pole and him a sphere i will comment on that later but. emitting carbon
5:33 am
dioxide depends mainly on the sort of energy most of the world use. i don't know again what. president trump thinks all the american business and i suspect they don't want the better said dream and to curtail their economic growth i always suspect it doesn't. insist on that but that's my attitude my approach ok let's leave trump aside but as someone who knows so much about it and who served so much in the government do you feel like intuition only that this accord will go down because kyoto and copenhagen didn't really happen you know well it depends of course agreement will say. reasonable that it will it will be fulfilled finally but there is one condition by everybody if one country for example forgets it and doesn't
5:34 am
stay in the limits which it promised then i'm sure that other countries will all might rethink their obligations that's quite possible but so far i would like to stress that again the paris agreement is a free work agreement there are no. specific limits on anything and as. you probably know. the devil is in the details. so let's talk precisely about russia you've said that russia is carefully assessing this framework. implementing the paris what kind of become nomic downturns are we talking about for russia. i don't expect that. there will be the end of the oil or natural gas people i don't believe that at the same time. of the number of solar energy in russian grows slowly but gradually and we have several
5:35 am
regions like orchestras. the area or even far in the north where there is a lot of sun. in that. limited areas makes sense to use renewable energy mainly sun energy. recently said there is also one source for a new energy in russia which has never been used at all and i mean waste and litter. because we're now going to build five big units. with litter and weights will be burned producing heat or electricity and i'm sure russia generates such an amount of waste but we always have a ways to produce energy so that brings me to the other two questions because
5:36 am
russia like you said we don't predict the end of the oil industry and the sindh where are the largest producer of crude oil second largest producer of natural gas . i mean we've been doing pretty well in those fields i mean the existing scheme is so efficient wind that so much in the renewables business a risk. first of all it's technology is secondly it is possible but i am not a clairvoyant ok but we don't know what will happen with technologies in one hundred years. it's quite possible that any new technology will emerge which will make producing energy from wind or sun or waste. cheaper than the earth and producing natural gas or oil i'm not sure
5:37 am
so do you think that there what would happen like you're saying there will be oil but no one's going to use it anymore because the new energy is going to be cheaper sarah was just going to automatically. believe that still there will be one hundred years ahead they will boil their will but natural gas but for example cars which consume the most amount of oil as a petrol. more and more cars with electricity so what about the near future if we look at the opus we're also one of the largest exporter of gas and oil to europe so let's say we're starting to pay attention and curb greenhouse gas emissions and invest less in the resources that we're talking about than what happens to europe are there any price repercussions for them. what happens with europe yes i mean we're going to be obviously was warning us gas and i'm so worried about. first of all i was insistent that russia is also
5:38 am
a european country mentally graphic even religiously where europeans. and most of the europeans who might talk to agree to that secondly it depends of course on the energy balance which i mentioned before. countries who don't have a lot of natural resources or guess them more motivated right now. too. to move into the direction of. everything depends on price on the economy but again. if we speak of natural gas its environmental friendly energy type. i don't see how for example germany might substitute russian gas. in the nearest future once i remember president joked when he was in germany that ok you don't
5:39 am
write you don't like russian you don't like russian oil you don't like russian yes but how will you heat yourselves using wood but again this would will be russian think. so that leaves the question open to be serious about it but speaking back to the paris agreement we're going to stick to it where going to rectify it i would like to make that point very clear and our girl is much more ambitious than most of the other countries in the world seventy percent of carbon dioxide emissions by two thousand and thirty is much more than. promised to do by the same time what exactly is it what terrorism treats exists in two very different forms.
5:40 am
one. is actions by very radical ecological organizations. like for example we're in peace attacks or oil rigs. or. fisheries nets. and there is another side of the story or another side of the medal if you remember iraq aggression against kuwait in one thousand nine. hundred four six out of kuwait under the world pressure. they set fire on oil rigs. exploded some of them so that a huge amount of oil went to the gulf. and for many years there
5:41 am
was no fish no life no sea life. it's called in my view. so ecotourism already exists. i can forecast this century another type of threat that one country for different reasons maybe economic maybe political won't comply with international environmental laws. and in that case i may forecast i may forecasts international ecological sanctions against this of that country to feel like the threat of eco terrorism right now our days is more acute than when iraq you're in iraq. i would think you would but i still think it's it's theoretically possible it's possible.
5:42 am
some. i don't know. some mad dictator for example. some mad dictator might use environmental disaster as a last resort to withstand for example foreign pressure it's possible. unfortunately we have to take a break right now when we're back we'll continue talking to see talking about an elf russian president special envoy for environment and transportation also former defense minister of russian federation talking about the paris accord talking about the arctic global shortfall in water stay with us.
5:43 am
5:44 am
a trust third parties all day long bitcoin is the first international currency that doesn't require trust it just requires consensus to buy into every ten minutes the protocol and why would you not be buying into the protocol if you're getting fabulously wealthy or watching central banks collapse i like god i mean wealth comes and goes but watching central banks crawl into their. pee themselves and cry that's what i look.
5:45 am
back with. presidents and words for environmental transportation is the one month on talk about arctic because that's another huge topic everyone's talking about twenty two percent of the world's undiscovered oil and gas do you think the race for this piece of pie could cost you in further tensions on the international scene . you're quite right that a huge amount of oil yes but not only. gold. mines. in the arctic and already about. i'm sure that this. movement over russia in the direction of the arctic will continue that i am absolutely sure. it depends how economic interests and economic reasons coincides with in the mental protection. if we speak your boats oil rigs or mitchell yes reeks of. they should be much more
5:46 am
reliable and safe than for example those used in on the offshore for african in nigeria so environmental limitations and rules should be much stricter than that elsewhere and i got to say i don't want to comment on politics but sometimes anything that has to do with environment is linked to politics and you can't separate these two and you said that russia will continue its nose into stark ticks so let us arctic military drills they have cost a lot of awkward here open the media has actually even compared it to the cold war style same or rattling why do you think that anything that russia does in your region is automatically considered as a question. well i don't see much military activity in the arctic to be frank i was a minister of defense for six years so i know what i'm talking about. we have several
5:47 am
. which you might call new bases but in fact they're not new they existed during the soviet times was simply getting back to disintegration of the country causing the military budget besides. military bases they don't affect international security it's not nuclear missile sites it's nothing like that. they're purely defensive for example defense system why can't we deploy a defense system or now a national territory. we don't move our military infrastructure outside our own country. secondly military bases in fact help exploring the arctic and using it in quite peaceful purposes for example in metal edge in weather forecasting in examining the drift of the ice

that ocean is definitely melting that's a fact and it's it melts don't rather drastically so plate to set it all melted down it's just like free water so anyone can cross them at some point by twenty thirty they said it's going to ice free in the summer depends i can give you one figure. the area males don't we can much quicker than the northern hemisphere in general in the last thirty years the temperature in the arctic changed. zero point eight seven degrees centigrade in thirty years that's quite a lot of course nobody expects that the arctic will melt down overnight that's impossible and things both would happen that way but it definitely mels out

for russia there are both pros and cons that. pros of course if the northern arctic route will be c. it will be free it brings it will bring russia huge benefits and transportation because the road if we call it c c wheat from. the us stocks is twice as short as it is now. there are also cons. for example if the tundra starts to melt don't then a lot of construction already existing in that area. i would say collapse but it will create a lot of problems but so it depends the way you talk in the way scientists it does seem kind of inevitable that some point it's going to be ice free least in the
5:50 am
summer i don't like the news ways cannot i don't expect it will be ice free. maybe in two or three hundred years. but. ok right no arctic mills dull but who knows what will happen in three or four hundred years maybe it's thought it will start to cool. well i always mention northern hemisphere once i was in that. there are several russian untalked extinctions and we monitor the climate over the sixty years. and the amount of ice in the doctor is not melting at all but it grows. in simple language i think for the world it's it like greece is getting cooler it's getting warmer it's giving us

a warm and to make very far reaching conclusions you need a scientific data. for a period of at least one thousand years so make conclusions. the member has so far have scientific data. let's say one hundred years it's nothing it's purely nothing. but so let's wait and see two three hundred years or so happens i want to touch upon another topic which is water water. shortfall which is also predicted in twenty thirty in the united nations protocol you know there are a lot of tensions when you look at egypt and its neighbors to feel like water could be something lack of water could be something that would trigger the next big conflict in the future yes to make it short i believe in that.
5:52 am
once lived enough. i'm an old spy ok. and right now it's already a huge problem in africa with fresh water it already exists and there are lots of areas in the world central asian some other asian countries africa where there is not enough of your drinking water russia is blessed. to host a huge amount of fresh believe water a lake baikal low keeps nearly one fourth or world's fresh water we're blessed and lucky to have such and to see russia becoming like a huge freshwater export or future yes it's quite possible in fact we already are exporting some fresh drinking by cal water. it's very expensive its course around two dollars
5:53 am
a bottle but people buy it could you actually pay attention or to water shortage and predict or prevent conflicts. well first of all first of all. there is a shortage of fresh water generally not only drinking water but only fresh water for air or for agriculture it's already a problem and you're quite right saying that. there are conflicts around the water there are many conflicts around water already happened in the world. and this sense the problem of the world and we have a lot of bilateral agreements on so-called trans national rivers or dress national lakes secondly there are new technologies and i believe in them. making fresh water out of salt water ocean world. i love to knowledge is and maybe you know. it it concerns within them and. next year
5:54 am
i hope that russia will launch the first. floating new clear station. it will be based in chicago it will be the aim of course energy but the science is sold me that the same floating nuclear station might easily make freshwater out of sol the ocean it's possible. it's a new resource for the world but speaking about arab countries african countries. you are right the world becomes more and more unpredictable. because of a lack of fresh water and there are already conflicts and unfortunately i don't want to be a bad forecast but i believe there will be future wars because of pressure star
5:55 am
going to see like water pipelines instead of oil pipelines. there are scientists who say that in future russia will. more exporting fresh water oil and gas arab countries are already interested in having something similar to the power plant that you're talking about. but given the region security problems is it safe for them to have something like that i mean what if pirates hijacking or i don't know terrorists are you mean nuclear problem serious or he gets hit by a great tomahawk missile i can open a state secret the like of course i'm joking it's not as a very tough kept state secret but if you take a jumbo jet boy for. doing don't stray to the center of the more done nuclear power station i assure you that nothing will happen
5:56 am
so all the modern technologies at least. nuclear scientists who produce more than types of nuclear power stations guarantee that in right. putting their name and all the photos that the safety of modern fifth generation nuclear power stations are absolutely guaranteed against every possible conceivable natural disaster or of course if you hear any. shell to the nuclear power station then it will be a catastrophe but i hope. wouldn't lose it mind completely fall on that optimistic note thank you presence in say thank you thank you.

the two thousand and eight economic crisis turn some countries into pigs these are the countries with we can recall them is that needed austerity policy is if you are in a situation of flow bloat even the recession austerity is a very bad idea it doesn't work and it makes millions of people very happy those who are unemployed see their wages decline almost a decade how good are the results. feasible by the people. to watch the world get people to see what you are doing to. be in full view she was i mean to for legal. challenge must. they see something and not

get it. while the same mission is still in place who one of the consequences is to weaken blue bird flu despite. a well first. of this is the truth you consider is the consequences are actually quite acceptable to the decision. but it was supposed to some of us the. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs.

for. well i says this being the thing entirely. to leave behind plenty of surprises to be trott's every rep travels to the iraqi city of tal afar where government forces now face the painstaking and dangerous task of trying to make that city safe enough so people can sometime return. meantime over in syria seems as many as twenty five thousand terrorists are believed to be regrouping have regrouped and no fighting on the one include some previously backed by the united states and.
