the be easy to. clean up on our teeth thousands displaced from their homes and streets flooded with unimaginable amounts of rain in houston texas we'll have the latest on the impact of hurricane harvey. and dozens of activists take to the streets of berkeley protesting a right wing rally demonstrators say it's about free speech then that ministers from across the nation gather in washington marking the forty five years since the infamous i have a dream speech.

good afternoon it's monday august twenty eighth four pm in washington d.c. i'm on your part until you're watching our team america we begin this hour with dire conditions in texas hurricane harvey made landfall on friday night as a category four hurricane and has pummeled houston and the surrounding region bringing catastrophic flooding for days more than thirty inches of rain have fallen in parts of houston since thursday and it's not over yet. trinity chavez has been monitoring the situation for us from new york trinity what's the latest you can share. this is the most powerful hurricane to hit the united states in more than a decade an estimated nine trillion gallons of rain have fallen and more tranquil rains are expected to continue through friday with an additional fifteen to twenty five inches of rain which means more flooding in the region this hurricane has devastated communities throughout texas the houston chronicle reported two hundred seventy six major roads are high water locations and over eighty thousand people do

not have electricity according to fema more than four hundred fifty thousand people are expected to seek federal aid in recovering from this catastrophic event and there have been at least eight deaths and more than a dozen people injured. wow certainly a terrifying situation trinity how are city officials responding. here's an official are working together to do everything that they can to ensure the safety of the public and get those who are in danger to safety at a press conference earlier today the houston police department say that they have completed the rescue of over two thousand people two hundred ninety of those rescues were water related that just occurred overnight the fire department has responded to over fifty five hundred calls for service just in the last twenty four hours and as of this morning they have about one hundred eighty five critical rescue requests that they hope to complete today something the mayor says that is their primary focus let's take a listen. and the goal is rescue and that's that's my best

a major focus for the day that's my directive is that we want to focus on getting people and getting them out of their homes so whatever distress the situation may be we're working with red cross and album of the partners to make sure that we have the supplies the food people are needing clothing literally people are coming in and they're coming in wet they need inclosing clothing we've asked them about the business partners but beings like diapers baby formula these are bad natured we've got kids babies we've got only you have to see new citizens and they are needing everything. officials warn that it's still extrude dangerous out there at least four thousand national and state guard members have been activated to help the storm aftermath today president trying to clear the state of emergency in louisiana due to the emergency conditions conditions resulting from hurricane harvey trinity

of this deadly storm obviously poses a huge humanitarian risk but let's not forget texas is one of the major center for nation's oil and gas industries what kind of environmental threat is this storm present and how are city officials taking that into consideration. that's right texas is the heart of the oil and chemical industries and many are worried that the hurricane will create long term public health problems if there is an accidental toxic leak due to the storm which can contaminate the waterways and have detrimental effects the federal emergency management agency addressed some of the concerns at a press conference today and here's what they had to say. it's very early in this but what we do know is that the water in corpus christi and in victoria area recommendation for boiling of the water before before consumption the good news is that the work that's been done the pre deployment that's been done as brock says there are significant assets water assets they are that are available for folks and that's the challenge that we have is getting them to people looking for oil spills

we have not detected in the oil spill yet but we are actively monitoring that one hundred ten on oil and hazardous response. now although right now it was too early to tell whether there has been any kind of pollution government officials say that most refineries voluntarily shut down before the storm made landfall which will help with any environmental issues. all right trinity chavez reporting from new york for us thanks a lot. and we're going to get a live update from the ground in houston right now let's turn to scott crow he's a co-founder of common ground relief in new orleans and author of the book black flags and windmills hope an arche and a common ground collective can you hear me scott welcome to the you know we really really appreciate you coming on when did you get to houston and can you tell us exactly what you witnessed so far. just getting into houston because we've been to

this the all the major roadways are blocked the major highways and out on the north side the west side the south side are all blocked with water and so we've been trying to get in for the last hour but what you've got is you've got major flooding because houston and the surrounding areas largely marshlands and wetlands and use that run throughout it much like happened in the gulf coast and after hurricane katrina and so the water can push up further so it's you know we started to see floods you know thirty forty fifty miles from the city. severe severe flooding as well as all the rivers are over the top and across the roadways so right now there's a massive massive massive traffics of people people trying to get in to do red search and rescue but also tons of people trying to get out to their own safety and your personal mission is to go in and participate in some of this rescuing scott yes so i've been doing coordination what i do a lot of times after the storms i do

a lot of coordination just where i am in austin with the centralized grassroots efforts because there's a lot of efforts you know we focus a lot on what team is doing and what the red cross is doing but there's thousands literally thousands of small organizations that don't have big budgets that are doing search and rescue and doing things not just in houston been the outlying areas between houston corpus christi that is very important so i've been coordinating with them and i wanted to get an assessment on the ground of what would happen before people started putting boots on the ground putting folks on the grounds or street medics started coming in some of these networks. you were extremely active in the response to katrina even defending residents when things turn violent can you remind viewers what happened in new orleans what exactly you witnessed there and tell us how it compares to the situation from the way you see it so far in houston which was sure katrina was a disaster with an sas have one of the worst natural storms ever come on the shore and then followed by the worst government response that could ever be which is to do nothing so they literally left tens of thousands of people to die on the

rooftops with no food no water and they they worked more to restore law and order rather than rescuing people and that just compounded the problem or for years on end actually this effort is exactly the same this is very similar storms because what happen in katrina which is what's happening with harvey right now as they're covering wide swaths of land it's not a localized thing if that disaster happens in your neighborhood you can deal with it but if it happens in your town you could go to the next town but what do you do when town after town after town of city after city for hundreds of miles are devastated that's what we're dealing with with for from katrina and what we're dealing with now and we're also it's a little different is that racism in this and louisiana is a lot different than here there's a lot of white folks that are willing to come and help people of color in low income communities and immigrant communities and that's been really good to see what lessons were learned if any from katrina how they've been applied because that sounds like you're saying you're you're witnessing similar issues do you think the

government could have responded to an a more and adept way no governments can never respond and not that way they're too large too bureaucratic too slow and too heavy handed would in the early hours in the early days decentralized grassroots efforts are the best because then people can pop up where they are to do stuff autonomous leech state as they can and and governments can never respond and also when they do the tree. who's going to get services first they go to the economic district they go to the wealthy areas they were. about immigrants and poor people and marginalized communities over and over again and that's where lots of people can step in to help communities really rebuild themselves but to rebuild themselves for libertarian future that they see as they would like to have when about forty five seconds thirty seconds left but as viewers around the country i'm curious how they can help out i mean you're somebody right now in the streets trying to rescue people how can how can people have become a part of that we're really just just plug in and look for things beyond red cross

and seeing the look and look on corporate social media websites there's churches there's there's all kinds of decentralized grassroots research going on in either donate supplies donate money to them or find out what they're doing and help amplify their messages across and be careful of scams you know scams also people raising money that aren't real but look at look at where people are actually doing direct relief where there's no way it's most people if you're face expressed in these early hours early days still don't give money to the red cross that was going to raise billions off of this scott crow author political organizer co-founder of the common ground relief in new orleans please stay in touch with us and good luck out there thank you so much for having me on. rival protests in berkeley have descended into chaos as anti-fascist demonstrators broke through police barricades during a rally against hate and clashed with right wing activists prior to the end rest police had banned sticks masks and any potential weapons but mainly failed to

comply and many rather failed to comply one counter demonstrator attacked over a talker for and other to forcibly threaten people who were trying to film the violence but some scenes were caught on camera. oh. this video appears to show a radio host name to outlast and shielding a man from a group of masked anti fascist demonstrators in a separate incident a man thought to be a trump supporter was attacked by a mob after he pepper sprayed some of the counter protesters six people were injured in the end arrest and thirteen arrests were made caleb moppin reports from berkeley. for here outside of work in the civic center in downtown berkeley california as you can see around me there's a huge crowd of people calling themselves the fascist protesters these are people that assemble to counter a right wing rally that was called for today for this afternoon under the slogan say no to marxism 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 really clear through our thoughts sooner than any time a group reaches the hatred that you've seen from the out right i think it's only human to 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 really want to stand for nonviolence who would take the side against people that speak for violence including politicians such as donald trump one grouping that is widely present is the folks who call themselves at and t. some of them also would call themselves the black bloc people with masks over their faces are you know how many goggles there are here for a fight almost i mean they give that impression be seen repeatedly from folks try to come into the crowd began you know begin spent sending out their message state making statements in support of doll trial out of the crowd kind of circling up the police moving and scuffles breaking out.

the back of their own it's just one illustration of the ongoing division that continues to take place across the united states especially in the aftermath charlottesville a lot of different views being expressed here a lot of anger but a lot of folks that just say they're worried about their country than quite a crazy scene here in downtown berkeley california. today is the fifty fourth anniversary of dr martin luther king jr's i have a dream speech yet on an almost weekly basis whether through cories violence or now clashing demonstrations in the street headlines remind us his dream is far from realized to honor dr king's words today ministers from all over the nation gathered together in washington d.c. to try and put a stop to these events once and for all here's our to correspondent ashley banks with more. thank. you. i'm here at the department of justice in washington d.c.

where behind me you will see hundreds of the ministers that have gathered here today to march for justice many of them are saying that they've seen an uptick in hate crimes once president donald trump and attorney general jeff sessions took office. by god that happened by many people who gather today are unhappy with the injustices that many people face in this country our criminal justice system is one of the places that we have to start the mass incarceration of black and brown people in our country. feels like a systemic form of oppression and how that then is an act and has created a new sense of slavery a new jim crow i would like to see an honest and open conversation about the role of white supremacy in the founding of our country and how it's interwoven into all of our systems and i want to see a kind of a mass. kind of reconciliation process that helps us to heal the wounds of

slavery and to create a society that space upon equality and honor and privileges of certain groups of people. and of course today people across america mark the fifty fourth anniversary of dr martin luther king jr's i have a dream speech wrong a hundred year. one hundred years. we're going to grow it. and. discriminate it feels really important to come together on anniversary of the i have a dream speech and recommit to the important issues. voters' rights and then franchise man of people feels absolutely crucial that faith leaders of all

kinds i'm a rabbi from the jewish community are here to send the message loud and clear that dr king stream is not yet for phil and we need to march until it is and the jews were with king fifty four years ago and this is our fight for justice as much as anybody else's after speaking with a lot of people here at the march they were saying although martin luther king jr is a dream has not yet been fulfilled they will work together to make sure racism ceases to exist in this country and washington nationally banks are t. . in the wake of violence from the night the wright rally in charlottesville virginia fifty two year old richard wilson preston was arrested saturday and charged with discharging a firearm within one thousand feet of a school this comes after the release of the video taken by a legal observer for the american civil liberties union of virginia the video shows a white man yelling a racial epithet before a man and firing a gun at a black man who was wielding a spray can which was b.s.

as a torrent i think those who use after the fact virginia police troopers can be seen position to proximately ten feet from the incident meanwhile two additional men were charged in the violent assault of twenty year old special education teacher in january harris video from the incident shows a mob of voices from this is beating harris with metal poles leaving him with a broken wrist and deep gashes to the head the incident reportedly took place in a parking garage and jason to the charlottesville police station furthermore multiple eyewitness accounts indicate police in the area were made aware of the incident but did not investigate further while journalist shaun king tweeted authorities had been provided with seven videos one hundred forty two images two confirmed by genovese and one address in the week after the attack the atlanta journal constitution even identified one of the men being charged thirty three year old alex michel ramos less than a week after the attack still he remains at large for now eighteen year old daniel

patrick borden has been charged with malicious wounding related to aggravated assault of harris borden was arrested on friday. on sunday afternoon a new confederate memorial unveiled in can federal venue veterans memorial park and crenshaw county alabama the monument called unknown alabama confederate soldiers is surrounded by a metal fence and flanked by two other monuments several hundred people attended the ceremony among them were real actors dressed in period clothing. morial owner and developer david coggins says that the group's weren't related to white nationalists or racists. well it shouldn't be a surprise to any news consumer trust in the mass media is at an all time low two thirds of americans believe the mainstream press publishes fake news but what's to come of this will the media catch on joining us now is legal and media analyst lionel. lionel media what's going on here lionel why are americans that rapidly

losing trust in the media. because the american mainstream news media is disintegrating before our very eyes you can just google americans losing faith using losing hope in mainstream media now this this is not new on you we've been saying this for a long time this is been going on but this is there's a different there's a different context here the mainstream media for the first time have something that's breathing down their collective neck internet alternative media citizen journalism foreign media now in the old days where they say boy isn't this horrible from the days of network in one nine hundred seventy six what howard hill said go out and say i'm mad as hell and from roone arledge who created infotainment through private through nightline and twenty twenty and how this snowballed when

new became entertainment well in the old days you would say boy i mean isn't this terrible but it's all we have. not anymore so they're now scared witless shall we say so no what they're doing is double down on great journalism no feed them all feed the monster more b. roll more shall walk more confused conflict added opinion into news they're desperate can't you feel it and yet and feel it and you think they're capable of any reflection on they'll make adjustments start giving the people that they want questioning things a little bit more. no and the reason why is like when you talk to a kid about junk food i'm sure or maybe your parents had not yet you know this is bad for you right yes and you know that when you eat these fries yes will you

continue eating them yes i'm not going to change you're trying to ask make you try to ask americans whether all of a sudden they want to involve themselves deeper in the context of news they historicity the background the platform the perspective we're still debating the civil war we think that the civil war correct yet we are staring at this at this huge this phantasmagorical color machine and we just look for b. roll we can't tell anymore what's real what's opinion what's kitsch what's flash and i'm telling you right now as the mainstream news media news rooms are being shot heard as they're having salary slice and dice as you're having very inexperienced line producers just feed this twenty four seven machine it's getting

worse and the last thing that america wants at this point is solid researched you know a. base foundation knew. how much of this has to do the fact that all these that media sources they're talking about are all owned by the same small group of companies which makes i don't know makes thinking about diverse opinions or something outside the mainstream or corporate interests pretty difficult to bring on bring on the pages in the screens. don't you love what you just did and i know you did it asking me the question that answers itself absolutely and when you have a mainstream media which acts as a repeat or first as a reporter that basically is handed the news from whoever reads this and always asks the question remember mainstream media if you do anything or say

anything that veers from the collective theme here remember it's been a while other pro hillary anti trump or pro deep state or however you want to liken it the day that somebody comes forward and breaks from the pack the day that somebody stands up and truly says wait a minute my colleagues have this wrong this war is wrong our involvement is wrong this is about oil or about lithium and minerals you will never see that person again because the messages out if you want to remain here if you want that glory job if you enjoy the big bucks the money whatever it is don't veer you want to go someplace else go ahead or who are the moros who are the people out there the real the real vanguard's of journalism i'll tell you where they are not mainstream media but they're here they're here and people know it and they're trying a long as it can on you to maintain this myth that somehow this this regurgitated

pablum is substantive we are unfortunately out of time lionel lionel media always fun to speak with you thanks so much thank you. and that's as it's been now for long the stories we covered go to you tube dot com slash r.j. america also check out our website r t dot com for slash america you can always follow me on twitter on your partner bill question. all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of part is already america play party america. r t america. many ways you just like the real you big good actors bad actors and in the end you could never hear all. the parking all over the world

all the world's a stage we are you. there. for decades the american middle class so it's been railroaded by washington politics. big body corporate it has thrown out a lot of force that's how it is in the new culture in this country. that's where our economy. i bet still on our t. america i'll make sure you don't get railroad you'll get the straight talk in the straight. parts of. back in the day a journalist used to be someone who went to school for journalism supposedly

learning how to collect and check facts and then present those facts in an unbiased manner i mean that's what we were told the journalist did anyway and an editor at large was just someone who did that remotely and these people were interested in these jobs because they had a passion for getting out information for telling the untold stories in honest ways but according to huff post new job listing for campus editor at large of a campus editor at large is something else entirely according to their posting which has now been updated the campus editor at large is a college student who's not going to get paid apparently because there's no mention of money in the job details which they call the deep and the first thing they list in the job deep is not you know get to share your passion for the truth or tell untold stories the very first day they list is that you get to grow your personal brand that's what journalism has come to people growing your personal brand beyond

the growing your personal brand as huff post editor you also have a chance to have your work promoted on their social media accounts you have access to special new. as letters you get to test drive some of the freshest products you'll get access to your favorite editors and you'll be able to network with other people just like you that's all fine and whatever that's pretty normal stuff basically in turn writes that's not the worst part of the listing the worst part of the listing is where they give examples of what they think is the kind of work they want from college kids the first article they list as an example of great work is taylor swift to face the alleged assaults or in trial suddenly we aren't feminists anymore that's the headline of the great work the next is how we've weaponized to the female nude the third is here's how we should be talking about health care reform which is basi influence it but at least it's about news and the last example is for angela you know others silent cis gender black women so all of their

examples are of women trans or celebrity or other very left leaning pieces the fluff this is what huff post wants from their editors at large around college campus that makes it very clear what these college kids would actually learn from huff post. it's. called the feel we go from going to. every the world should experience.

and you'll get it on the old the old. the old according to josh. welcome to my world come along for the ride. i'm going to do just that if you're watching all of your. question. here's what people have been saying about rejected a knighthood to us exactly just pull along awesome the only show i go out of my way to launch you know a lot of the really packs a punch at least yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same thing we are apparently better than blue things that seem to see people you never heard of love right back to the night my president of the world bank patzers i'm going to

let me see it's like he sent us an email. i'm lizzie francis's in basra casting around the world right here in washington. see tonight oil and gas prices respond to hurricane harvey as it hits the gulf back you wait oil platforms are shutdown of facilities and some supply lines wiped out also crypto currencies are in the hot seat in china and canada it's a sector still operating in the gray zone some want it to come out into the light and some want it to be outlawed even as big corn has been a millionaire overnight and artificial intelligence and the sharing economy my gas

details crowd based capitalism here in the united states around the world stand by right now. the widespread devastation of hurricane harvey which hit texas over the weekend has dealt a devastating blow to the state's refinery rich coasts about two point two million barrels per day of refining capacity is projected to be brought down according to analysts at s. and p. global now key facilities along the gulf coast are temporarily shut down drilling platforms and rigs are evacuated and flooding in the houston area has seriously supplies many shipping capabilities have been taken out even before harvey hit the

prospects of supply disruptions and gasoline futures to one dollar seventy four cents a gallon the highest level since april retail gasoline prices push the national average up to two dollars thirty seven cents a gallon analyst for gas buddy predict that the dominos are starting to fall and it is slowly turning out to be the worst case scenario. the euro has reached its highest level since the beginning of two thousand and fifteen it rose to one dollar nineteen cents from one dollar eighty. eighteen cents after a speech by european central bank president mario draghi at a meeting in jackson hole wyoming analysts predict that the e.c.b. may announce a tapering of quantitative quantitative easing at september seventh policy meeting euro strike can hurt shares of exporters because it can erode revenue made overseas of surge pushing lower shares of exports across europe today goal to hit its highest in more than one week as we watch the euro plunge ahead as u.s.

gold futures were up point three percent at one thousand three hundred one and ninety cents also president donald trump made threats to scrap the north american free trade deal and then expressed disappointment in meetings but that's trade partners canada and mexico which further supported gold price this comes as british officials arrive in brussels hoping to push the e.u. to talk it breaks it to force the e.u. has refused to accept before talking preach transition issues such as expatriate rights. with every generation new technology has made life easier in the washing machine to the car however when we talk about new technology invariably the topic leads to drops protections for workers etc joining me to discuss this is aronson darren dodd professor of business at new york university and author of the sharing economy

thank you for joining me on this when your opinion is there any real limit to what an ai could do for businesses or for society is for is not only making making it more our lives more convenient but also helping you know expand the type of jobs we have. well we're certainly going to see a great deal of advancement in you know convenience in comfort because of artificial intelligence and robotics. to be is a eyes are solving the problem of perception being able to see what's around you and make sense of it and of natural language processing in able to communicate like humans and so across a wide range of both businesses and in the household we're going to see a lot of convenience but in many ways every generation that has this kind of revolutionary for their time technology. like you know enjoys the same kinds of

benefits and so the dishwasher or the washing machine were received but the same kind of joy you know our intelligent agents are being received today. well some fear that ai could be the death of the american worker but others say that it will actually bring in even as it replaces workers what do you think about that because obviously if it replaces jobs there's going to be some lag time there and people don't have time for that sort of talk right now you know well lindsay it's going to be a little bit of both. you know there are certain kinds of jobs that are going to see a steep decline over the next ten to twenty years jobs in retail jobs that involve driving jobs and things as sophisticated as financial compliance the combination of robotics and is going to render a lot of these jobs done by machines rather than humans but you know again like you know one hundred years ago forty percent of the u.s.

workforce. was engaged in farming in some way today that number is under two percent the machines replace the humans there the machines have been steadily be placing the humans in the manufacturing sector in the united states and so you know as these jobs are destroyed new jobs are created because new industries are created things that used to be informal become formal new human aspirations are met you know if one hundred years ago there was no tourism industry to be employees eight percent of the world's population two hundred years ago there was no health care industry today it's twelve percent of u.s. employment so it's going to be a destruction of a lot of today's jobs but a creation of a lot of new jobs because new industries a new capabilities come along well it's look at china it's pushing hard on ai technology it wants to become a world leader by two thousand and thirty probably sooner than that if it can swing

and how does the u.s. compared to its development versus a i in china. well china's certainly got one big advantage today which is that there is a centrally sort of a government coordinated effort to become a leader in the next decade sort of in the same way that there was a concerted effort to win the space race in the u.s. about fifty or sixty years ago but as in the united states a lot of research is happening in pockets of universities that companies like google so china is almost certainly going to be the world leader in artificial intelligence overall but there are going to be capability is that the u.s. is going to be ahead of the rest of the world in simply because we've got the deepest bench of academic researchers and the deep bench of industry researchers who are individually sort of like you know top of their field in different sort of slices of. the thing that makes me think about china and sort of

like you know more saliently is the fact that. you know china employees more than any other country in the manufacturing sector that over eighty million manufacturing workers in china you know at its peak the u.s. which was the largest manufacturing base in the world at the time had twenty two million manufacturing workers a lot of these jobs are going to be automated over the next twenty years and so on the one hand while there are big investments in x. i think that it's imperative for the chinese government to also start thinking about transmission strategies mid career transition strategies that will allow the people who are currently employed in manufacturing and even some services to be able to sort of leap frog well to the next generation of work as and when that's created. well let's take a look at some information we've got here this graph we see that while. you know

many factory jobs are on the decline since the ninety's you and i talked about that as you point out the health care industry. has been thriving those are big numbers we could see a similar pattern and what new jobs and industries would thrive and grow as a you know becomes more common and we start counting for them in our economic models as i mentioned there's going to be some leg time but what do you think. the jobs that are going to continue to be secure i'm guessing it's sort of you know bedside manner with with regard to health care and things like that what do you foresee. the pattern that i've seen through history. is that things that used to be informal become formal and so health care used to be something that was done a toll and as we ordered me to farming and as we sort of got beyond the point where we had to spend all our time protecting ourselves and feeding ourselves that emerged as an industry so i certainly think that there's

a tremendous amount of growth potential in the care industry i certainly see a lot of potential for growth in the education sector right now education while we've made great strides in the last hundred years is still higher education is largely sort of for a small slice of society with the technology as i think it will become a lot more ubiquitous and it will be something that you can access the different points in your life and i think that this will be a bit of a big growth engine. but i also think that there are always more and more human aspirations that as we automate the things that occupy our time today can all be posts you. there are challenges to the planet in general climate change you know threats from outside. that could potentially take up a lot more of our time if we shift away from more spending time on now so i have no like you know i talked about this in that i.m.f.

article that you sort of pull the graph from that you know the future of work has always seem bleak to the people who are seeing the technological change they look at the machines and they see well if the machines do what we're doing now what are we going to do but if history is any indicator and they also always see well this time is different now because these technologies a more a that they say that quite a lot were. or protections and things like that but if workers have new jobs the fight to protect them is on and important obviously to fight that that's no argument for not pushing forward with technology at least in my opinion and i'm sure you know a lot of people one of the things i've got a question about is in your book you take detail you know the sharing economy and how it comes into play you even talk about when you wanted to take your daughter to school and you noticed all of these cars on the side of the road you live in a big city and you're saying i wish you could just borrow one of these cars and now you can how is the sharing economy feeding into this in

a very rapid rate. well i think the fact of the sharing economy is changing what it means it's changing how work is organized and so because of platforms like lift the platforms like poor even sort of platforms for lawyers like up call for consultants like cattle and what we're doing is we're taking the traditional full time job and we're breaking it up into projects each of which can be done by a different people a different person so the need for companies or the need for full time employees starts to go down the reason why this is important when you're thinking about automation is that if the work is broken up from jobs into the. automating a couple of is a lot simpler than automating and job and saw the sharing economy and together that's what we have to look at if we really want to predict the future of

work very interesting to hear thank you so much erin sadar john professor of business at new york university and author of the very interesting book the sharing economy thank you. we're going to go to break now stick around because when we get back groundbreaking cancer treatment company has been bought by galleon scientists important to watch there and crypto currencies could face a crackdown in china and elsewhere as we go to break. here the number of. all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are anti

american playing marty america offers more artsy america first lead in many ways. just like the real new big names. you could never hear on. the market all the world's all the world's a stage we are definitely a pledge. of a trial where i've spent countless hours poring through documents to tell the story about the ugly side of. corporate media everything uses to talk about the. i'm going to pick clear picture about how disturbing counsel for the. mom these are stories that no one else. might want to post to the american legal question. would you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put

those for. your wife or. what's your biggest fear a little bit on the table when so let's talk a little bit bored you say if you ever miss the concert but what about. the one topic that doesn't belong to you no i didn't think what. elliott scientists will pay eleven point nine billion dollars in cash for that company to buy pharma and plant a stake in an emerging area of cancer treatments that train a patient's immune cells to attack tumors the shares of twenty nine percent to one hundred seventy nine dollars fifty cents in early morning trading on monday after

now some of that as well as allies are coming to the country's defense. has got more on that for us. trying to pick up the pieces here wellness particularly case we're talking about trying and they sort of have a two part argument here on the one hand they think these sanctions are simply not going to work and on the other hand perhaps more importantly they think it could make the situation in venezuela even worse and make their venizelos relationship with the u.s. also worse so they don't have much faith in the sanctions. days after the white house announced more sanctions on venezuela the chinese government came out in support of its close ally and beijing made it clear it doesn't have faith that sanctions will have any impact whatsoever during a press conference on monday a spokeswoman for china's foreign ministry said the president problem in venezuela should be resolved by the venezuelan government and people themselves the experience of history shows that outside interference or unilateral sanctions will

make the situation even more complicated and will not help resolve the actual problem considering the close ties between both countries the comments aren't too surprising earlier this month china defended venezuela's constituent assembly saying it was quote generally held smoothly those remarks stood in stark contrast to those from the u.s. and europe accusing the assembly of severe of voting irregularities and part of that is due to the business relationship between venezuela and china especially work concerns energy they currently have an oil for a loan deal venezuela hasn't been able to keep up its end of the bargain in fact the shipments are behind schedule and china is owed over sixty billion dollars despite the setbacks relations are still strong right after those sanctions were imposed by the u.s. officials from venezuela immediately traveled to china during that meeting both sides began working on a new investment fund to offset the boy that the u.s. government is trying to expand venezuelan president nicolas maduro ordered state

run firms to increase the ratio of shares held by chinese investors ok so they landed china these sanctions that different from the ones previously brought on venezuela yes so basically the difference between these sanctions and previous ones are just the scope of the target initially the sanctions were attacking president during his inner circle and you know the relations that they could have with people in the u.s. with their business opportunities. but this time it's basically an attack on venezuela's economy so essentially and the entire country instead of just his administration and american businesses cannot give money to venezuela or their state run oil company and of course the intention there is if the approach is a default they would have a harder time raising cash that so and you know on top of that of course we know that. verbal expressed that he would be open to military action that was of course not in the official sanction statement but he did say that he would be open to that

which is why then as well as taking these sanctions even more seriously than before these ones are a bit harder aside from china though if any other nations come forward to support as well i mean i can imagine it's just one yeah you've got china it's great to have on your side. it's certainly not just china in fact the former heads of state from spain the dominican republic and panama recently got together and formally condemned the sanctions said basically the same thing as china that one they're not going to work and they're just going to make the situation harder to deal with and approach in the future and i mean in terms of south america countries have been kind of divided but we've seen pretty solid agreement in the caribbean nations to support venezuela so it really different throughout latin america but then at the same time you have the organization of american states which include many latin american countries and they have come out many times to keep issuing sanctions on

venezuela because they want to right and so we're also looking at a situation with civilians where a lot of the allies evidence available say yes but this is going to trickle down to them to nicholas materials because government has got such a strangle hold on the power there nothing's going to happen is that right yeah i mean he right now there's nothing the outside forces feel kind of powerless so that's why they know they have to go right after the money they can't say ok well we're just not that we're going to cut off diplomatic ties that's not go. and to change that's why they're going right for the economy and if they eventually do approach or to fall which a lot of analysts are suggesting that could mean a lot of trouble for his administration because people there we know are already struggling enough all right thank you so much. and michelle coyne offerings on crypto currencies such as big coin may face a crackdown by the chinese government these digital currencies allow anonymous peer to peer transactions without the need for banks or central banks the chinese

government has issued draft regulation broadly aimed at illegal financing which it says includes virtual currencies as it calls it now an important detail for the first time illegal fundraisers will be accountable for their own losses couple this with stiff prison sentences participating in digital currency funds used to be punishable by death now with life in prison illegally absorbing public deposits will get you ten years in jail though also crypto currency is massively popular in china vic coin has hit all time highs this year that most recently leveled at four thousand two hundred ninety six dollars a theory of big coin neo like coin ripple stratus and a range of others have created overnight millionaires with many of their creators pushing for initial coin offerings in order to create an exchange. but as china is certainly not alone let's head to canada with few rules and regulations currently in place when it comes to initial court offerings some are worried that if not

controlled both businesses and investors may be playing in a grey area where problems may arise artie's in high limits as in toronto with more for us alex both canada and the us are approaching this issue in a similar fashion introducing rules on how crypto coins can be used in these terms what can you tell us about that it's big business and we're seeing you moving where your old group to coincide basically using what we're hearing is called old. sawyer and mitchell coin offering much like an i.p.o. and what instead of having shares you have crypto currencies which fluctuate much like shares so this basically takes the game out of the game because we have all kinds of rules and regulations when it comes to shares but with i c o o's this is a bit of a different gray area right now but let's let's go to a couple graphs just to understand just how big this is getting if you look at the first graph here you can see that the monthly i.c.a.o. funding college just skyrocketed month after month this year and then this other

graph shows something very particular here that actually i see zero funding has surpassed angel investors and seed capital funding in many areas so the problem is though is the uncertainty with this area so when we talk about i.p.o.'s and we talk about shares we know that there is disclosure of that's necessary for companies have certain things that they must disclose there are certain rules and regulations to not only protect companies to protect investors as well so now since this new area has popped up the governments are trying to react to it and they're trying to figure out is this a coin is that a currency or is it a share but the american government has just recently made a decision and it's moving along the same lines as the canadian government we know that u.s. regulatory regulators they use securities and exchange commission recently learned ruled that a major crypto currency was offering which raise a hundred fifty million dollars u.s. last year will in fact this is a securities offering not

a currency offering so that really brings that into a realm which is understood by these type of regulators so the question is are they going to do that doing this in every circumstance or are there circumstances where this can be viewed as a currency instead of a share what we know the the winkle vi. have been trying to push through the s. the f.c.c. with their crypto currency in keeps coming back and saying look if you cannot protect investors we got nothing for you china. as i mentioned earlier very heavy handed approach but can you tell us a little more about this fascinating and heavy handed approach shyness take a look try to have the same concerns we do really and that's what people might get ripped off in this whole big scheme of things and the fact of the matter when it comes to trying to look a sixty five i c o's this past year four hundred million dollars involved hundreds by thousand investors i mean this is happening very rapidly and quickly and there's literally you know they're going to five star hotels people are renting out these

huge rooms and they're packed with people wanting to invest into this game the fact of the matter is though that the chinese government saying look this is again something that we're not too sure but we don't want to see things like pyramid schemes popping up from those they they know that there could be some type of illegal actions that when you're moving into something that is regulated so the chinese government is saying yes we are trying to put some regulations together but they're going as far as to say that they might shut this thing down altogether this type of investment the i c o's that they won't be able to move left or right they're going to shut it down until they can figure out how they need to regulate it properly what do you think about all of these new cryptocurrency spazzing out they want to piggyback off the success of that calling bitcoin is upwards of forty four thousand dollars i'm sure you're aware right now do you think that it's there there drown out that the market only has room for maybe three or four i was wondering about that earlier today i mean look at there is a big one and that's more business to business but bitcoin i mean i wish that i

listen to my friends at work so google right now five years ago i would have been one very wealthy man the fact that matters it's still a new game out there so who even knows if this is going to last really like me very much sorry about that i got a lot to offer got to go alex my overall toronto thank you sir. over to greece now it's produced wine for over four thousand years and it's one of the toughest servers but for two long years most citizens of them buying it. illegally and two thousand and fifteen greece created a special tax on all wine whether it was produced locally or imported the government was trying to generate additional state income but of course prices soared wine that used to sell for about four euros or around six dollars jumped closer to seven euros or eight dollars because the tax was so disliked many turned to the black market wine experts believe that it sheltered more than sixty five percent of all wine sales there is an end in sight though the greek government has

now seen the error of its prohibitive ways and is looking to halt that tax by the end of this year. that's all for now check out the show on youtube youtube dot com slash boom bust r t thanks for watching see you next time. you're watching our. first didn't before.

coming up on our t.v. thousands displaced from their homes and streets flooded with unimaginable amounts of rain in houston texas will have the latest of the impact on harvey. and dozens of activists take to the streets of berkeley protesting a right wing rally demonstrators say is about free speech and that ministers from across the nation gather in washington the marking of the four years since martin luther king jr i have a dream speech.

good evening it's monday august twenty eighth five pm in washington d.c. i'm on your parm pill you're watching our team america we begin this hour with dire conditions in texas hurricane harvey made landfall on friday night as a category four hurricane and has pummeled houston and the surrounding region bringing catastrophic flooding for days more than thirty inches of rain have fallen in parts of houston since thursday and it's not over yet are to use a trinity job as joins us now from new york trinity what's the latest information you can bring us. search and rescue missions are still underway an estimated nine a trillion gallons of rain have fallen and more brains are expected to continue through friday with an additional fifteen to twenty five inches of flooding in the region now eighteen countries in the state of texas have made a federal disaster declaration list and that number of may increase in the coming days this hurricane has devastated communities throughout texas the houston

chronicle reported two hundred seventy six major roads are high water locations and over eighty thousand people do not have electricity according to a few more than poor hundred fifty thousand people are expected to seek federal aid in the recovering from this catastrophic catastrophic event and over three hundred thousand people will seek emergency shelter there have been at least eight deaths and more than a dozen people injured certainly a terrifying situation trinity how are thirty officials responding. houston officials are working together to do everything that they can to ensure the safety of the public and get those who are in danger out to safety and at a press conference earlier today the houston police department say that they have completed the rescue of over two thousand people and two hundred ninety of those rescues were water rescues that just occurred overnight the fire department has responded to over five hundred five thousand five hundred calls for service just in the last twenty four hours and as of this morning they have about one hundred

eighty five critical rescue requests that they hope to complete today not too long ago the governor of texas says that this is just the early stages of responding to the storm and says that this is going to be a new normal in the recovery process let's take a listen importantly this is a place that texas and fema will be involved in for a long long time we will be here until we can restore this region is back to normal as possible or as we discussed in our meeting earlier we need to recognize is going to be a new normal will be a new and different normal for this entire region but we will not stop until we get as far as we can. the governor announced today that he has authorized the deployment of all of the twelve thousand texas national guards of president also just spoke moments ago and he said protecting the lives of our people is his

highest priority tragic times like this bring out the best in america's character he will be visiting areas of texas tomorrow and is expected to return on saturday and also is expected to visit louisiana as well on saturday trinity this deadly storm obviously because this is a huge humanitarian risk but let's not forget texas is the major center for the nation's oil and gas industries what kind of environmental threat does this storm present and are city officials considering it at all. that's right besides being the nation's fourth largest city texas is also the heart of oil and chemical industries many are worried that the hurricane will create long term public health problems and if there is an accidental toxically due to the storm which can contaminate the waterways and have detrimental effects the federal agency management agency addressed some of these concerns at a press conference today and here's what they had to say it's very early in this but what we do know is that the water in corpus christi and in victoria area

recommendation for boiling of the water before before consumption the good news is that the work has been done the pre deployment that's been done as brock says there are significant assets water assets they are that are available for folks and that's the challenge that we have is getting them to people looking for oil spills we have not detected in the oil spill yet but we are actively monitoring that one hundred years of an oil and hazardous response now although right now it is too early to tell whether or not there has been any pollution government officials say that most refineries had exercise voluntary shutdowns before the storm made landfall which will help with any environmental issues all right trinity chavez reporting from new york for us thank you so much for more i spoke earlier with scott crow who's on the ground in houston he's a co-founder of common ground relief and in new orleans and author of the book

black flags and a windmills hope anarky and the common ground collective. well we just getting into houston because we've been to this for all the major roadways are blocked the major highways and into out on the north side the west side the south side are all blocked with water and so we've been trying to get in for the last hour but what you've got is you've got major flooding because houston and the surrounding areas largely marshlands and wetlands and use that run throughout it much like happened in the gulf coast and after hurricane katrina and so the water can push further so it's you know we started to see floods you know thirty forty fifty miles from the city college severe severe flooding as well as all the rivers are over the top and across the roadways so right now there's

a massive massive amount of traffic the people of people trying to get in to do research and rescue but also tons of people trying to get out to get to their own safety and your personal mission is to go in and participate in some of this rescuing scott yes so i've been doing coordination what i do a lot of times after the storms i do a lot of coordination just where i am in austin with the centralized grassroots efforts because there's a lot of efforts you know we focus a lot on what team is doing and what the red cross is doing but there's thousands literally thousands of small organizations that don't have big budgets that are doing search and rescue and doing things not just in houston been the outlying areas between few some in corpus christi that is very important so i've been coordinating with them and i wanted to get an assessment on the ground of what would happen before people started putting boots on the ground putting folks on the grounds or street medics started coming in some of these networks you were extremely active in the response to katrina even descending residents when things turn violent can you remind viewers what happened in new orleans what exactly you

witnessed there and tell us how it compares to the situation from the way you see it so far in houston which was sure katrina was a disaster within sas just have one of the worst natural storms ever come on the shore and then followed by the worst government response. that could ever be which is to do nothing so they let literally left tens of thousands of people to die on the rooftops with no food no water and they they worked more to restore law and order rather than rescuing people and that just compounds the problem or for years on end actually this effort is exactly the same this very similar storms because what happened in katrina which is what's happening with harvey right now as they're covering wide swaths of land it's not a localized thing if that disaster happens in your neighborhood you can deal with it but if it happens in your town you could go to the next town but what do you do when town after town after town and city after city for hundreds of miles are devastated that's what we're dealing with with for from katrina and what we're

dealing with now and we're also it's a little different is that racism in this in and louisiana is a lot different than here there's a lot of white folks that are willing to come and help people of color in low income communities and immigrant communities and that's been really good to see what lessons were learned if any from katrina had they been applied to houston sounds like you're saying you're here witnessing similar issues do you think the government could have responded to an a more and adaptive way no governments can never respond and not be that way they're too large too bureaucratic too slow and too heavy handed would in the early hours in the early days decentralized grassroots efforts are the best because then people can pop up where they are to do stuff autonomous leach say because they can and and governments can never respond and also when they do the tree. who's going to get services first they go to the economic district they go to the wealthy areas they leave out immigrants and poor people and marginalized communities over and over again and that's where lots of people can step in to help communities nellie rebuild themselves but to rebuild

themselves for liver tory future that they see as they would like to have when about forty five seconds thirty seconds left but as viewers around the country are curious how they can help out i mean you're somebody right now in the streets and trying to rescue people how can how can people have become a part of. that well really just just plug in and look for things beyond red cross and seeing a look and look on corporate social media websites there's churches there's there's all kinds of decentralized grassroots research going on in need or donate supplies donate money to them or find out what they're doing and help ever farther messages across and be careful of scam you know scams also of people raising money that aren't real but look at look at where people are actually doing directory where there's no where it's most people if you're face expressed in these early hours are built don't give money to the red cross that was going to raise billions off of this scott crow author political organizer co-founder of the common ground relief in new orleans please stay in touch with us and good luck out there thank you so

much for having me on. pop quiz time and name the entity which takes the title for the nation's largest polluter well as a recent piece and counterpunch points out it's actually not even a corporation but rather the department of defense which stands more than seven hundred thousand tons of hazardous waste a year giving it that title to discuss let's cross out to frank very he's an air force veteran and founder of georgia air force base dot info welcome to the show frank and viewers might be surprised to learn the extent of the pentagon's polluting there are reportedly one hundred forty nine military locations around the country which are considered by the e.p.a. to be superfund sites can you explain what that means. is that these are some of the most contaminated parcels of land in the country. unfortunately the united states forced millions of men women and children to loot them he says without

disclosing the horror was not disclosing the nature of his extended nation. even though the air force in the department of defense you know. they knew of the problem didn't address it didn't remediate it didn't protect it. yes after we were exposed they never even bothered to notify us can you talk about a public or a personal experience for you what is it banier your way or air experience dealing with the military and how are you impacted by your time living on a base. well. it was a disaster on that is probably the worst mistake i ever made in my life. i entered the military healthy was discharged one year nine months later on hospitalized five times i had an fifteen hundred pound gun system dropped on me they put me on

duty restriction washing parts in hot truck laurent blanc without any safety equipment then i had an accident radiation exposure we can hear ration in and just as you know the dust i was being medically retired until they pulled out for impacted wisdom teeth and i almost lead to death. at that point that dennis came in and sent on him wired what would happen to you what in those you're with what happened to you will they drop fifteen hundred pounds on the cross me he said now that. they had numerous the person hot tricor outlane he said now you know why open at a barrel in a motor cross track south varies road it was tell me of not it so make a long story short. the doctor came back with the hospital commander. base engineer base jag. then every been notified me

that in town he spent twenty something years homeless hungry getting what no doubt seized on merit biopsies and not every year and hats and so you are made fake physically l. by your time working in the military. absolutely and the air force they did everything within their power to cover what i just found it examples of the substances which the military uses that are toxic or. a way that they exposed you to to chemical let it george air force base george air force this is a typical military installation they had open burn pits all around the base they had incinerators without air scrubbers we had a lot of children that grew up on shore to develop c o p t emphysema while they

were in georgia didn't smoke their parents didn't smoke. in the southeast suppose later they had to redo work to waste sites ten of the red disposal site. just received documents that they dumped a fire fight in the home an innocent these lives later is important to remember that this was a quarter mile upstream of the supply wells then the water and base result was brackish and have tasted like it or he couldn't drink it. well error from what you say there is not much of an effort to compensate victims are people who have had their health affected by by the faith as but is there even an effort to clean it up or do anything to hold people accountable for the polluting oh the air force has spent about one hundred twenty million dollars papering the local regulators to death and in a court case we had

a large attorney going up against a smaller firm they'd they had a practice called paper where they generate thousands and thousands of pages paper with the air force did without one hundred twenty million dollars was generate thousands of reports with conflicting information and they just paper to local regulators to death the. it's just it's it's beyond belief. they haven't notified anybody think notify you know that the housing was contaminated or. be put into jeter searching for the housing that it couldn't be used for residential nursing homes takes years hospital. they don't want anybody on the property but the children military the residents of the property it's certainly better a shocking situation you're describing and as shocking statistic tend to think our pentagon our department of defense is the largest polluter in the country are

unfortunately out of time but we really appreciate you coming on and sharing your story good luck to you during fair air force veteran and founder of georgia air force base in. thank you very much for having me you know. coming up on our team the iraqi government has reclaimed alef far from the self-proclaimed islamic state but there are still a lot to do before the city can return to normal we'll have a report from the ground stay with. all the world's a story and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are in t. america playing party america offer much more artsy america first. many ways to use the landscape just like the real movie big city actors bad actors and

in the end you could never hear all. of the park and all the world's a stage all the world's all the world's a stage and we are definitely a player. people have got to know whether or not fair presenter supply american people deserve to know what precious at this point does it may must guard against the military industrial. we shall never know gold. or should know that. we do but.

almost a fifth of the people of germany said they wouldn't welcome having muslim neighbors according to a recent study while the country continues to try to integrate an influx of immigrants a survey revealed nineteen percent of germans were against the idea templar angela merkel prompted an open door promoted rather an open door policy since the beginning of the refugee crisis but has occasionally backtracked on the issue our europe correspondent peter all over looks at how integration might influence voters in the next months german election. currently say around sixteen to seventeen points clear in the polls ahead of elections that are in well just under one month's time here in germany when she was talking in a recent interview about the twenty fifteen refugee crisis well she said that if she could go back in time to that point she wouldn't change

a thing in fact she would make all important decisions exactly the same or this is something that you can say when you're seventeen to sixteen points ahead in the polls because in the past the german chancellor how spoken differently on this issue we didn't embrace the problem in the prop eight week and also girls who are protecting the external borders of the area in previous times those statements have helped or at least been part of giving her a kick in the polls well something she clearly doesn't need out the moment in response her main challenger barton schultz of the social democratic party here in germany also of course remember the former president of the european parliament well he described the german chancellor is out of touch and aloof however that is and seemingly pulling him back on the lead at the moment but of course we also can't have an election in europe these days without russia getting a mention in this time it's come courtesy of hans york marson he's the head of the

b f l it's the same as say the f.b.i. in the united states or m i five in the united kingdom the internal intelligence service he said that russia has the potential to carry out. sophisticated hacks that it has the potential to release sensitive information how every then went on to say that there's absolutely no evidence to suggest that this is in the pipeline at all that it's set to happen which leaves many questioning why he decided to give that interview in the first place but the situation we have at the moment is that without him. so far out in front in the polls it does look like this is a german election whereby the interests of voters may take something of a back seat as the focus turns inwards towards what type of governments angle or merkel will be able to form and what type of coalition she will opt for when she ultimately returns as the german chancellor coming up i'm hard t.

i'm right berkeley of the weekend and demonstrators clashed at a so-called free speech rally for the right. there's a real irony going. to responsible points in the people and it's always all that's what i think it's always expensive to. ordinary now hold still surveillance in c.l. you have more meanwhile to soon to do so since then as you use the source you know it's only the story knows it's garbage it's real genuine it's. good politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. something wanted.

to do it for us this is what the three of the four people get. interested in the lawyers. think the average viewer just after watching a couple of segments understands that we're telling stories that are critics can't tell and you know why because their advertisers won't let them. in order to create change you have to be honest you have to tell the truth parties able to do that every story is built on going after the back story to what's really happening out there to the american what's happening when a corporation makes a pharmaceutical chills people when a company in the environmental business ends up polluting a river that causes cancer and other illnesses they put all the health risk all the

dangers out to the american public those are stories that we tell every week and you know what they're working. welcome back to our team america today is the fifty fourth anniversary of dr martin luther king jr's i have a dream speech yet on a weekly basis whether through police violence or now clashing demonstrations in the street headlines are mind us his dream is far from achievement to honor dr king's words today ministers from all over the nation and gathered in washington d.c. to try to put a stop to these events once and for all here's our correspondent ashley banks with their report. thank. you. i'm here at the department of justice in washington d.c.

police barricades during a rally against hate and clashed with right wing activists prior to the unrest police band of sticks masked and any potential weapons but many failed to comply one counter demonstrator attacked a photographer and others reportedly threatened people who were trying to film the violence still some scenes were caught on camera. like. this video appears to show radio host al leste and shielding a man from a group of masked anti fascist protesters in a separate incident a man thought to be a trump supporter was attacked by a mob after he pepper sprayed some of the counter protesters six people were injured in the rest and thirteen arrests were made caleb maupin reports from berkeley. we're here outside of work in 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 under the slogan say no to marxism well these are posts here that object to a number of the people involved with that sort of right wing rally i consider them to be white supremacy and fascism assemble to denounce and while the nazis may have a right to demonstrate we've got a right to show that there are really clear through or far sooner than any time a group reaches the hatred that you've seen from the out right i think it's only human to 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 really want to stand for nonviolence who would take the side against people that speak for violence including politicians such as donald trump one grouping that is widely present is the folks who call themselves at and t. some of them also would call themselves the black bloc people with masks over their faces are you know how much goggles they're here for a fight almost i mean they give that impression we've seen repeatedly truck folks

try to come into the crowd began you know begin spent sending out their message state making statements in support of doll trial out of the crowd kind of circling up the police moving in and scuffles breaking out. the back of that. 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 say they're worried about their country than quite a crazy scene here in downtown berkeley california. the fence contractors lockheed martin and raytheon have seen a huge surge in fails they've both been awarded one hundred million dollar contract by the pentagon this comes as u.s. and north korea nuclear tensions continue to simmer for american 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 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 to extremely dangerous development and it reminds us of in the one nine hundred fifty s. 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 samir khan r.t. washington d.c. . coming up on our t.v. trust the media is at record lows so what's the media doing to fix that media analyst lionel told us his thought that after the break. what holds and changed you should at least. put themselves on a lot to begin to show a little. soul immunity for us to ensure. some want to reach. out to the right to be pushed she was. able to keep it. interesting. question. about your sudden

passing i've only just learned you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. you're out to cut up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each person. but then my feeling 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 or are. secretly promised to never like it said one does not please a few more of the same as one enters mind it's consumed with death this one just. speaks to us there are no other. name that mainstream media has met its maker.

for decades the american middle class so spread railroaded by washington politics i'll make sure you don't get railroaded you'll get the straight talk in the break through. to the. i. welcome back to our team america well it shouldn't be a surprise to any news consumers trust in the mass media is at an all time low with two thirds of americans believing the mainstream press publishes fake news but what's to come of this while the media catch on earlier i spoke with legal and media analyst lionel of wine and media to get his thoughts. americans losing faith

using losing hope in mainstream media now this this is not new we've been saying this for a long time this is been going on but this is there's a different there's a different context here the mainstream media for the first time have something that's breathing down their collective neck internet alternative media citizen journalism foreign media now in the old days where they say boy isn't this horrible from the days of network in one nine hundred seventy six what howard hill said go out and say i'm mad as hell and from roone arledge who created infotainment through private through nightline and twenty twenty and how this snowballed when new became entertainment well in the old days you would say boy i mean isn't this terrible but it's all we have. not anymore

simple they're now scared witless shall we say so what they're doing is double down on great journalism no feed the maw feed the monster more b. roll more schlock more confused conflict added opinion into news they're desperate can't you feel it and yet and to feel it and you think they're capable of any reflection on they'll make adjustments start giving the people that they want questioning things a little bit more. no and the reason why is like when you talk to a kid about junk food i'm sure or maybe your parents and you know this is bad for you right yes and you know that when you eat these fries yes when you continue eating them yes i'm not going to change you're trying to ask make you try to ask americans whether all of a sudden they want to involve themselves deeper in the context of news they

historicity the background the platform the perspective we're still debating the civil war we found that this civil war correct yet we are staring at this at this huge this phantasmagorical color machine and we just look for b. roll we can't tell anymore what's real what's opinion what's kitsch what's flashing and i'm telling you right now as the mainstream news media news rooms are being shot heard as they're having salary sliced and diced as you're having very inexperienced line producers just feed this twenty four seven machine it's getting worse and the last thing that america wants at this point is solid researched you know a. base foundation new. how much of this has to do with the fact lionel that

all these media sources you're talking about are all owned by the same small group of companies which makes i don't know makes thinking about diverse opinions or something outside the mainstream or corporate interests pretty difficult to bring on bring on the pages on the screens. don't you love what you just did and i know you did it asking me the question that answers itself absolutely and when you have a mainstream media which acts as a repeat or verses a reporter that basically is handed the news from whoever reads this and always asks the question remember mainstream media if you do anything or say anything that veers from the collective theme here remember it's been a while other pro hillary anti trump or deep state or however you want to liken it the day that somebody comes forward and breaks from the pack the day that somebody

stands up and truly says wait a minute my colleagues have this wrong this war is wrong our involvement is wrong this is about oil or about lithium and minerals you will never see that person again because the messages out if you want to remain here if you want that glory job if you enjoy the big bucks the money whatever it is don't veer you want to go someplace else go ahead or who are the who are the people out there the real the real vanguard's of journalism i'll tell you where they are not mainstream media but they're here they're here and people know it and they're trying. to maintain this myth that somehow this this regurgitated pablum is substantive we are unfortunately out of time lionel lionel media always fun to speak with you thanks so much thank you amend this theatre is facing backlash after announcing it will

discontinue its annual screening of the. classic film gone with the wind orpheum theatre group decided the film was racially insensitive and pulled it from next year's lineup after receiving comments following this year's screening artie's modeller sorry reports that the heat generated before the movie was pulled is nothing compared with now. orpheum theatre group in memphis tennessee has screened the classic film gone with the wind each of the past thirty four years now this screening on august eleventh coincidentally coincided with a white nationalist evening march in charlottesville virginia ahead of a unite the right rally that ended in three deaths according to theater group president bret patterson the screening prompted numerous comments that led to a decision not to run the film next year patterson said as an organization whose stated mission is to entertain educate and enlighten the communities it serves the orpheum cannot show a film that is insensitive to

a large segment of its local population the one nine hundred thirty nine film takes place in the american south against the backdrop of the civil war long criticized for glorifying slavery when orpheum theatre group announced its decision to pull the movie memphis resident wendy thomas praised the decision on facebook saying slowly but surely we will rid this community of all tributes to white supremacy but backlash after the announcement was much louder katie hydro not sure if anyone really complained or your theatre just decided to be coward sheep and given to mad this way you should be ashamed underneath dixie grey pointed out how do you make daniel was the first black american to win an oscar with her costarring role as mammy in gone with the wind i guess her achievement is also gone with the wind sad how to make daniel was not only the first african-american to win an academy award she was also the first to be nominated for acting it would be more than two decades before another african-american actor would win and the comments continue to pour

in with outrage and calls to boycott the theatre orpheum c.e.o. said the screening of this film is something that's questioned every year but the social media storm this year really brought it home we reached out to theater representatives for reaction to the backlash against their. cision and i've yet to hear back in washington cmon dollars r e o r t before we go don't forget to tune in at nine pm for larry king now tonight's guest is bridget everett an actress and cabaret performer here's a snippet of what to come is yours and like anything goes yeah yeah it's like a motor scale it's a risk but it's not like for the sake of being risque it's sort of it's just my way of like interacting with people and getting to know them and sort of seeking them alive in a way. but i call. tender like you do a couple the roxy songs and then you course you have to have a heart to balance it or it's just as is the sex it's so raw and she's like well i

have one is my mom's favorite it's called what i got to do to get that my mouth. i can't believe i just said that to larry king live isn't. you know how difficult. but i have a song like my most popular song is called and it's about i wrote it for my mom actually when she got breast cancer she's fine but when i grew up lisa color beaver tails because she had these like long well hang in there. yeah but i also you know i was saying about the loss of my sister and my my dad and so it's not just all just you know pounding. right now watching now and now i don't know it's got me interested so tyrrell is that here tyrrell and her from watching the hog had been a while since i've had that entertaining of a t. they were really hit it took me on guard ty. pretty much every go watch larry pretty much from here on out are down to my kids now who watch your dogs we go we

go we had to the movies to discover the pentagon's beliefs and actions without consequences when it comes to syria and then we discuss the pros and cons of the censorship of a classic american film and finally we take a look of the future with author and social go biologist rebecca cost about her on her new book the birds. would be an interesting show sounds great typing for a lot. and that does it for now on the stories we cover going to splash r t america they are. america you can also always follow me on twitter. question. all the world. and all the news companies merely players but what kind of partners are empty america playing artie america offers more r t america personally.

and many ways the news just like this the real news big news good actors bad actors and you could never hear all. of the park in the world all the world all the world's a stage we are definitely a player. our culture is awash in lives dominated by streams of never ending electronic hallucinations that. fiction until they are indistinguishable we have become the most. society on politics as a species of endless list little politicians more than just celebrities are to ruling parties are in reality one party for. those who attempt to punk this. restless universe so for me to sign the push through the t.v.

and exploitation of the little boy are pushed so far to the margins of society including by a public broadcasting system that has sold its soul for corporate money that we might as well be squeaky against an avalanche but we must. back in the day a journalist used to be someone who went to school for journalism supposedly learning how to collect and check facts and then present those facts in an unbiased manner i mean that's what we were told the journalist did anyway and an editor at large was just someone who did that remotely and these people were interested in these jobs because they had a passion for getting out information for telling the untold stories in honest ways

but according to huff post new job listing for campus editor at large of a campus editor at large is something else entirely according to their posting which has now been updated a campus editor at large is a college student who's not going to get paid apparently because there's no mention of money in the job details which they call the deep and the first thing they list in the job d. is not you know get to share your passion for the truth or tell untold stories the very first deep a list is that you get to grow your personal brand that's what journalism has come to people growing your personal brand beyond the growing your personal brand at huff post editor you also have the chance to have your work promoted on their social media accounts you have access to special newsletters you get to test drive some of the freshest products you'll get access to your favorite editors and you'll be able to network with other people just like you that's all fine and whatever

that's pretty normal stuff basically in turn writes that's not the worst part of the listing the worst part of the listing is where they give examples of what they think is the kind of work they want from college kid the first article they list as an example of great. or is taylor swift to face the alleged assaults or in trial suddenly we aren't feminists anymore that's the headline of the great work the next is how we've weaponized to female nude the third is here's how we should be talking about health care reform which is basi influence it but at least it's about news and the last example is for angela you know others silent sis black women so all of their examples are of women trans or celebrity or other very left leaning pieces the fluff this is what huff post wants from their editors at large around college campus that makes it very clear what these college kids would actually

learn from huff post. it's. called the feeling of freedom and. everyone in the world should experience flamingo and you'll get it on the open road. the old according to just. welcome to my world come along for the ride.

home. what you have for breakfast yesterday why would you put those for the faces your wife or two dogs may like to name and that what's your biggest fear not going to bid on a hay ride when so less time to read a book or just say if you ever met the pope comes the best quarterback. exploring the topic that doesn't belong on the pizza now i've had to do due to question more .
