after. clashes break downs at a university in the u.s. state of georgia student it's fatally shot campus police. presence in trump pushes for reform of the united nations in its first speech to the general assembly. in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement. speculation continues in the u.k. media over the london chub surveillance footage appears to show one of the suspects
12:01 am
also. from moscow this is all t. international with me rosana lockwood's thank you for joining us we start with the u.s. state of georgia west judah's have been facing off with a deadly shooting. thank you. thank you thank you the fatal incident which happened on saturday night was caught on camera twenty one year old scout schultz can be seen approaching officers outside a dormitory at the georgia institute of technology according to police schultz was
12:02 am
carrying a knife and was repeatedly told to put it down after the suspect refused an officer opened fire. meanwhile mass rallies are continuing in the u.s. city of st louis follows three nights of writing off to a former police officer was acquitted of killing a black man more than one hundred twenty people were arrested on sunday as protesters smashed store windows. sunday's march started peacefully descended into chaos as well as widespread looting there are reports that police were sprayed with unknown chemicals on friday demonstrators vandalized the mayor's home anger in the city erupted after
12:03 am
a judge cleared former officer jason stockley of murdering anthony lamar smith back in twenty eleven. although you're going to hear what. a lot of. frustration there's a lot of people felt that he was with not being heard and it's so important that they got to change the narrative of violence is never justified on the any circumstances even though people may say there was a mitigating factors in this case here but personally i don't think violent is acceptable particularly when as you say it your home in your very own community.
12:04 am
that's been on the mind. the u.s. president has given his first speech the united nations general assembly donald trump called for radical changes to the u.n. structure including spending cuts in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement while the united nations. on a regular budget has increased by one hundred forty percent and its staff has more than doubled since two thousand and we are not seeing the results in line with this investment president tribe's a first speech to the u.n. was dedicated to u.n. reform which he's been calling for for a long time now u.n. ambassador nikki haley also spoke right after president trub stating her support for the idea of spending cuts in fact she was the driving force behind
12:05 am
a six hundred million dollar cut to the un peacekeeping budget this year donald trump has a businessman for seeing potential and he sees great potential not just in this reform movement but in the united nations itself trumps remarks seemed to contradict his earlier statements regarding the u.n. considering he's never actually been happy with the body the united nations is not a friend of democracy it's not a friend to freedom it's not a friend even to the united states of america united states is one of one hundred ninety three countries in the un pays for twenty two percent of the budget we need the member states to come together to eliminate integration sheehan. and to ensure that no one nation shoulders a disproportionate share of the very militarily or financially the united nations is a wonderful. place for the benefit of the u.s.
12:06 am
and such tremendous potential that we go up to its potential when you see the united nations so they don't because it's a waste of time even though trouble criticized u.n. spending and bureaucracy he also stated that the u.n. is changing under secretary general antonio terrets this is interesting because in june this particular secretary general seemed to oppose any budget cuts saying that it would create an unsolvable problem to the un now it's clear that the u.n. is set to change but the question is will it work out with less funding. international law professor dowd told us president trump failed to address some of the key problems facing the united nations the real problem is not where mr trump is mentioning and complaining about either. justice
12:07 am
in distributing the economic burden or inflation in with respect to bureaucracy and other things the problem the real problem is the. structural defect in the constitution that is the charter of the united nations and locating powers with countries where there is. inadequate representation you end the way it is and the way it has been functioning it has become. for some powerful countries to achieve whatever they want politically. u.k. police continue to withhold the identities of two suspects arrested over last week's cheap bombing earlier the law in the mag the summary of what's known so far. there have been two arrests significant progress for the police to continue their investigations are just at the site where the room where the people used to live
12:08 am
with the rest of eight but you'd appreciate if you the suspects know charles she's yes despite a lot of the official information is yet to be confirmed we have certainly seen the press here in the u.k. really be abuzz with alleged details on potential suspects now certainly they've been focusing their attention on two men specifically one of them an unnamed eighteen year old man said to have been for all of iraq origin the media here in the u.k. have been reporting that this is a young man that had allegedly arrived to the u.k. when he was fifteen years old following the death of both of his parents back in iraq now they've been reporting that he was arrested on friday evening near the port of dover and they're claiming that he is according to them the key suspect in this whole terror related latest incident in the u.k. because they've been circulating images captured by c.c.t.v. cameras where a young man can be seen carrying a little bag which is
12:09 am
a grocery store here and this is the exact same bag that was captured in images inside the carriage where this homemade device had partially detonated on friday morning and the second young man is actually being named a second alleged suspect according to the media they are describing him as twenty one year old for rukh and according to them he was arrested on saturday evening outside a chicken shop in west london now the media here have said that they've tracked down what they're saying is his facebook page that says that he is from damascus syria that this was a person who had studied english in london and worked at a events company here in the british capital and they have been saying that in the facebook page you can see that he lived somewhere near heathrow airport and that he had arrived in europe via egypt back in twenty third. there's also been lots of attention given to the foster care couple that are reportedly were having these two
12:10 am
men in foster care at certain periods throughout their presence in the u.k. and there are lots of reports about the neighbors describing them as a beautiful couple they are reported to be seventy one years old they are said to have fostered hundreds of children including migrants over a period of over forty years there are reported to have been honored by the queen for their services in terms of helping children back in two thousand and nine and according to media reports here the neighbors are saying their god it there has been a some social media support page created for them so certainly lots of attention given to the personalities involved in this latest terror incident but more information get to come in terms of official statements as this investigation continues anti-racism campaign away mn bennett's believes the media has a responsibility to avoid stirring up hatred. hysteria is building up around pass and screen does not contribute to
12:11 am
a kind of unified society obviously all of us don't want to see such acts taking place inside the underground but we have to understand that as a consequence even the people who are perhaps described as come from the background coming from different parts of the world the one of the consequence is we live in a world which is rich with conflict be clear that we don't want muslims or the muslim community that has been here for hundreds of years to face the consequences of a racist by class which is a really been taking place for the last twenty years and we would like to have balanced reporting on this and not the kind of moral panic that seems to be taking place in season parts of the media. the u.s. defense secretary james mattis has announced that more than three thousand extra troops will be sent to afghanistan in line with president trump's new strategy the deployment will bring three u.s. presence to around fourteen thousand troops eleven thousand are currently stationed
12:12 am
in afghanistan this follows a new plan unveiled by the u.s. president in oldest in that speech he ruled out setting any withdrawal deadline and donald trump asked other nato members to increase their financial and military contributions to the war effort the strategy marked a stark u. turn from his pre-election promises we will also expand authority for american armed forces to target the terrorist and criminal networks afghanistan is a total and complete disaster let's get with it get out of afghanistan the first half of this year was the deadliest period for afghan civilians since the start of the war always one thousand seven hundred were killed and three thousand six hundred injured during those six months and the country has seen widespread protests against the ongoing u.s. presence and deadly air strikes.
12:13 am
the u.s. has been born you know people are. we. going to win against them they didn't come to us they came to make problems for muslims in afghanistan and around the world we don't. instantly. antiwar activists sara flounders told us the new troop surge will only make matters worse for afghanistan absolutely no impact at all the numbers have gone up to one hundred thousand and beyond they've gone down there's been one surge and then a pullback and another surge and none of it makes any difference at all there's no end in sight this is another small surge. with no end in sight no no even possibility of
12:14 am
a plan in sight except the massive destruction continued destruction for the people of afghanistan it's really a criminal policy it has been from day one when the us thought they could walk in and say bragged at the time take over the whole country without a casualty and here it is the longest war in u.s. history. joint military drills between russia and belarus saw underway schools of airplanes helicopters tanks and combat ships are involved in defensive maneuvers the first stage of the exercises simulated countering direct threats to belarus and repelling foreign fighters. ok.
12:15 am
liz. liz. the war games which officially ended on wednesday have led some western officials to express concern of what they see is a direct threat to european security whereas land in my of reports but you can see right now behind me it's the day of the joint russian sailors military exercise
12:16 am
days russia has been putting something like really like an eclipse etc all right. the joint exercises between russia and by the way have been signs into invasion of europe so far as i can tell but concert to some media expectations perhaps the drills very sitting huge media attention long before they even start to rest in the fishless have been a little more resolved in that but just a little bit they're about to do an exercise in below rouche russia. that's going to tail up to one hundred thousand russian troops moving into into that country the great concern is they're not going to leave and that's you know that's not paranoia that's the. active concern among among the countries the data from the russian and i would say that the russian ministry of defense suggests that the total the phone the thirteen thousand troops are going to participate and that's from both sides and the majority of them are from by the way but in the eyes of washington and some european capitals the numbers could be ten or even twenty times higher something
12:17 am
must close as it finds quote still in the shrink. but let's now see what we've got here. the b.m.p. see the more than the eyes the seventeenth see nothing new actually but these are the working horses of the russian army. russia's president vladimir putin arrived in the lending rad region to observe the exercises the country's defense minister who was also there they hailed the drills as being on the highest level. as we mentioned earlier the zapata exercises have seen some sensationalist media reporting some outlets have even suggested they are present you to the invasion of eastern europe we travel to a left in town near the russian border to find out what locals there think about the likelihood of an incursion by moscow. tonight i think this is all
12:18 am
a joke nothing will happen i know that it's a strong market seriously of course everything will be all these russian drills are actually an answer to major drills in the baltics called the start no everything's fine there's no negative information representatives are invited to russian so all the dangers of being exaggerated we've got a real double standard here russia and belarus are allies they are carrying out these exercises they're very transparent there are international observers there and russia and belarus of both got very good reasons to be to be carrying out these military exercises the nato critics are being very hypocritical we're living in an orwellian kind of propaganda framework at the moment where the countries who have done the attacking of other countries the countries that have posed a threat to world peace are pretending to be the countries under threat and but in actual fact it's russia which is acting here defensively with good cause because
12:19 am
we've seen what nato has done and the destruction they've caused around the world. the top diplomats of russia and the united states have met in new york seeking to overcome the ongoing crisis between the two countries caleb maupin has more on what was discussed. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov and u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson held a meeting on the sidelines of the united nations general assembly now the meeting was initiated by the american side the issues discussed specifically were syria and ukraine in syria there are accusations being leveled by the united states that u.s. backed rebel forces were directly attacked by russia now russia says that these rebel forces were not attacked that rather it was only ice still forces that were attacked but the area in question the issue is the city of darryl's or it's important to know that this is taking place as there have been breakthroughs in the
12:20 am
negotiations and russia iran and turkey have actually reached a breakthrough a document has been released and deescalation zones are actually being a stablished in the country in the northwestern regions of syria in the it live province and elsewhere we're actually starting to see breakthroughs in deescalation zones in the country be a stablished as a result of the negotiations that are taking place in kazakstan between the three parties now it's also important to note that another issue that was discussed was the issue of ukraine and a lab rob and rex tillerson discussed implementing the minsk agreement for peace and deescalation of tensions in ukraine there's been ongoing fighting in ukraine in the east in the donbass region and the us secretary of state and the russian foreign minister did discuss the possibility of implementing the agreement and making sure there were no tension. but it's cool and lest any risk thinks the trumpet ministration will want to improve ties with russia. with you develop an suv
12:21 am
sirrah ritual of syria reaching a sensitive phase particularly in the eastern region the close of the border with iraq i think that the americans thought that it was very important to focus on the fact that there should be another calling that collisions whatsoever i think it also points to the fact which is an important issue the trumpet ministration despite the congressional pressures that oh you know despite the presence of the russian voices in the administration such as the key haley view a similar sort of to your way to mr trump doesn't appear to have given it seems that mr on his efforts to improve the toys between the u.s. and russia although how much will be successful is something which is open for debate this in addition to the sideline talks between russia and the u.s. focus at the u.n. general assembly this week is likely to be on north korea jaclyn view the has the latest really sort of sounds like the military option is sort of becoming the
12:22 am
frontrunner for them we've had the american ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley saying that she feels that the united nations security council has really already done all that they can when it comes to north korea and that she's really already prepared to hand off the crisis to the u.s. secretary of defense adding that in that situation north korea would be quote destroyed and that's something we have coming from a diplomat i said yesterday i'm perfectly happy kicking this over to general mattis because he has plenty of military options if the united states has to defend itself or defend its allies in any way north korea will be destroyed and we all know that and none of us want that none of us want war so there we have haley saying she's happy to hand it over to mattis and not long ago we had he himself describing briefly what that would sort of look like what a military option with north korea would look like and very best words saying that the response would be both effective and over. well meaning any threat to the
12:23 am
united states george territories including. or allies will be met with a massive military response the response both objective and overwhelming we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country namely north korea but as i said we have many options to do show and in the same light many remember all of the comments that we've had from trump himself fire and fury and whatnot and amid those threats that we've had coming from the president he's repeated a number of times that talking with north korea just isn't going to be effective not really diplomatic words that we have coming from the president himself and on sunday trump also referred to the north korean leader as rocket man and the tweet comments that are unlikely to go without a response and it's worth noting that while some in the trumpet ministration are still hopeful for a diplomatic solution calling for it it does seem that the focus has sort of shifted from that as sort of like an afterthought and going more towards the
12:24 am
looming military option. the european court of justice has overruled italian law allowing a fall of that upon genetically modified corn that despite every region in the country saying they were against the controversial crop back in one thousand nine hundred ninety eight the court approved the use of the seeds the same they had no adverse effects on humans health or the environment but nearly fifteen years later the farmer was fined by the attorney in government which argues the g.m. maize does pose health risks. italy has previously also the european commission to ban the use of g.m. seeds nationwide but was turned down in twenty thirteen they issued a ministerial degree to creep that led to farmers being sued but the latest e.u. court decision effectively over rules that farmers in italy gave us the abuse for. i believe that if italy has decided that g.m.
12:25 am
owes will not be grown on its territory that decision has total legitimacy those who come to italy have the opportunity to buy and taste a large amount of local products these products are the result of years of work and one hundred year old farming history what will we gain from g.m. most if a sovereign state decides that certain laws are fundamental to its economy i don't think it is right that the e.u. can interfere with those laws. if you produce in italy and you are italian you should follow italian laws not force things that go against those who work here and we do not break our laws we respect them we completely reject g.m. seeds we produce high quality products in farmer ghana. the fear is over g.m. crops a wide and varied they range from line of food allergies to more serious cases and include infertility miscarriage birth defects and even cancer we discussed the latest european court ruling with a number of experts. i think of it quits or. not these crops are forbidden because
12:26 am
we still do not understand what the consequences are so far there has been no proper and in-depth research for this reason and we do not know in five years ten years twenty years what can happen surely this ruling creates a president that makes it urgent and necessary to conduct research and experiments the choice to use g.m. seeds or not should not be dictated by economic political or social parameters but must be dictated only and exclusively by technical choices and scientific analysis there is a very strong conflict of jurisdiction the which cannot be solved because there is no upper or toits above the european union the european union knowles will prevail on the italian law from now on so with this certainly allow the every genetically modify. farmer to farmer we speak a lot about genetically modified organisms well because it is
12:27 am
a very true and the topic because people are interested in this but there are many conflicts of jurisdiction between between the euro and italy i don't see as a positive thing this infringement of italian laws by the european union. street clashes hamper you can out in southern ukraine after a controversial quarry ling a crowd of protesters charged into a line of riot police injuring at least thirty five offices. what was. the. car was going to be the. rest broke out off to a local court acquitted five people of involvement in deadly street battles three and a half years ago six people were shot dead during the adesa riots on the second of
12:28 am
may twenty fourth team those events were part of the so-called might down uprising in which ukraine's government was overthrown the court hearing was not linked to the torching if the trade union building in odessa on the same day in which forty eight people were killed. that's it for me for now in a day ritu two will be live from here almost studio in just over thirty minutes time stay with us. all the crimes are being committed today. talked about blankfein and say we're not committing any crimes because even though he's doing the same crimes these bankers in jail in the one nine hundred eighty s. trying to say it was a long process they got government to change. the legal anymore so he's right he's not breaking the law anymore because he changed the law to make what was. illegal.
12:29 am
oh you mean you want the money. only the house yes there. will be a good story. but . then you will get a. big. freedom of speech all that the laws that we do they just need to be changed just a little and i don't i don't. understand the idea. all will be fine

a quite familiar message make things great again with reform recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement while the united nations on a regular budget has increased by one hundred forty percent and its staff has more than doubled since two thousand we are not seeing the results in line with this investment at this point the united states is the top contributor to the united nations the usa pays twenty two percent of the core un budget and twenty eight percent of the peacekeeping operations that's three times the second largest contributor china being a businessman this is how trump sees it because the usa is such a big contributor it has every right to question the un's results and the usa has been seeing itself over ruled by the international community when the un ruled against israeli settlements this triggered accusations of bias i'm here to
1:03 am
emphasise the united states is determined to stand up to the un anti israel bias i think most americans believe the united nations has become more anti-semitic more anti israeli and i'm a big internationalist but we're going to stop the money until we get this fixed and then there syria russia and china are frequently vetoing resolutions that they view as misconceived this is causing american lawmakers to say that they are a threat to global security the problem is the international community is being held hostage by china and russia just vetoed a united nations security council resolution condemning the assad. jeem every time that's been tried they have blocked former u.n. ambassador for the united states samantha power a longtime advocate of u.s. military interventions has said that perhaps russia and china's veto power should be removed if a particular body real self to be dysfunctional then people are going to go elsewhere and if that happened more than syria and ukraine and you start to see
1:04 am
cross the border paralysis it was. the security council's tejas to international security it's sort of the trump tower version of the u.n. reform he simply wants to be suppose one can wish him well but i don't think it's the right way to approach the more profound questions of peace which to me balancing with a world against each other is a bit more important than balancing the budget the united nations charter does not allow for pay to play games votes are not for sale for the usa calls the u.n. disrespectful it should remember that it's a global platform for compromise where every voice can be heard. archie new york meanwhile has another meeting is about to take place between russian and american top diplomats rex tillerson for the first time commented on the pentagon's claims that russia struck us part of forces in syria back then moscow responded

locked out of their own college campus after a makeshift refugee camp appeared on sites fourteen like ones have settled. down university in northeastern france for security reasons all lessons have been suspended until further notice the president of the university says class is what we start until the authorities can ensure safety we spoke to him as well as students at the campus. no google yesterday we witnessed an illegal occupation of the university's grounds due to the situation i can no longer guarantee security there are some children living here and it's impossible for the departments to function normally so i've shut down the university and i'm waiting for solutions to be offered. it's a shame to sacrifice the interests of six thousand students for the sake of forty people i understand that we're talking about people who are on the streets but still this situation seems unfair to me. at the moment who are being sued roofies

1:12 am
to political analysts nikolaus america bitch about the new camp at the french university he believes the decision to lock students out of the site was correct. the president of the university took the right decision this is not a normal situation you cannot just have migrants they don't know who these migrants are what their purpose there is how long they're going to stay there are sanitary issues there are also problems linked with migrants and crime in different cities in europe today and what we're seeing today is totally to the chaotic can you imagine migrants coming on the campus university because there are no more room in town to greet them and this is not the first time that we see these migrants sleeping out in the streets to begin intense sleeping in makeshift places because there's no office at least in france cannot cope with this wave of migration today look at today isn't a typical sisters a frantic situation whereby it is given the message to the rest of the world that europe has no borders that europe can greet people from all around the world whether this before you cannot make reasons political reasons and while they're
1:13 am
saying this they're inviting thousands and hundreds of thousands of migrants to europe the state and the european union is not taking decision because of. political correctness. the u.s. defense secretary james mattis has announced that more than three thousand extra troops will be sent to afghanistan in line with president trump's new strategy the deployment will take the u.s. presence to around fourteen thousand troops and eleven thousand are currently stationed in afghanistan this fall is a new plan unveiled by the us president in august in that speech he ruled out setting any withdrawal deadlines and other nato members to increase their financial and military contributions to the war effort this strategy marks a stark u. turn from his pre-election promises. we will also expand authority for american armed forces to target the terrorist and criminal networks afghanistan is
1:14 am
a total and complete disaster let's get with it get out of afghanistan. the first half of this year was the deadliest period for afghan civilians since the start of the war almost seventeen hundred were killed and three thousand six hundred injured during those six months antiwar activists are flounders believes the new troop surge will only make matters worse for afghanistan absolutely no impact at all the numbers have gone up to one hundred thousand and beyond they've gone down there's been one surge and then a pullback and another surge and none of it makes any difference at all there's no end in sight this is another small surge. with no end in sight no no even possibility of a plan in sight except the massive destruction continued destruction for the people of afghanistan it's really a criminal policy it has been from day one when the us thought they could walk in

1:16 am
because he changed the law to make what was illegal illegal. in case you're new to the game this is how it works not the economy is built around corporate corporations from washington washington controls the media the media. voters elected businessman to run this country business equals power you must it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before. well you know they were kind of adopted because we were called along. there in the next you don't harp on sheep and it's scary. the little self the big fish already ninety percent of the dot. com are.

1:19 am
we sold the scenario that was originally prepared also the figures we were presented before we sought to be didn't look like yeah if i can terrorist groups it . depends if i'm going to take a. really good combination of all kind of fourth. street trash is have broken out in southern ukraine after a disputed court ruling a crowd of protesters charged into a line of riot police injuring at least thirty five officers. the unrest broke out after a local court acquitted five people of involvement in
1:20 am
a deadly street battle that happened three and a half years ago six people were shot down during the riots and on the second of may twenty fourth the riots were part of the so-called maidan uprising in which ukraine's government was overthrown the court hearing was not linked to the torching of the trade union building an address on the same day in which forty eight people were killed. vera the new alternatives to money systems in the world and backers say the future of global finances but the jury's still out on so-called cryptocurrency is not mean how by the fact that the most famous of them bitcoin has been on a huge roller coaster ride in the past few weeks after reaching a historic high at the beginning of september a single bit coins since last one and a whole thousand dollars in value experts say it comes after china turned against the digital money on september the fourth china's central bank and it coins initial
1:21 am
coin offering which effectively block the ability to invest in the currency then a week and a half later two of the largest bitcoin exchanges suspended trading in the country making it impossible to buy many now expect a full ban on crypto currency trade platforms but what exactly i hope it coins well his five things you need to know.
1:22 am
it coins not being written off just yet some analysts predict new highs very soon because they still believe it's the currency of. an economic expert nice guys are the host of all kinds of reports. what people don't understand about crypto currency is a big point is that we are saying a change in the global economy it completely changes the definition of money it completely changes how people interact with money it completely obliterates the need for free at currency and it challenges the need for gold as a reserve currency while the price of a coin is adding to one hundred thousand per coin and possibly higher along that path you're going to see a lot of volatility all forgot currency are nothing more than ponzi schemes they're long into existence and when the interest is due they print more money it's
1:23 am
a classic ponzi scheme big coin is the opposite it's hard money it's real money there's limited supply it's desirable it's fungible it's divisible it's portable it's better than gold when china bans bitcoin it's telling the world that they need to get into mining aggressively because big coin is the currency of the future they used to be a big player is a big coin but not anymore because all the all the tropics moving over to japan and south korea it's becoming a nonevent in the crypto that crypto business because they're too centrally. managed the communism the legacy of communism there is too strong the china won't is not going to make it in the twenty first century because it doesn't understand bitcoin. death of the news aside as all of us social media on facebook twitter and of course our website that's all to dot com i'll be back at the top of the alice so do stay with us.

critical to the success. on the topic of countries working together this week world leaders descend on new york city for the seventy second session of the united nations general assembly all one hundred ninety three member states have an equal say in this forum one nation one vote now is president donald trump's u.n. debut how will he be received ortiz trinity chavez has the story for us from new york a day before the u.n. g.a. general debate president donald trump attended a un general assembly meeting to discuss reforming the united nations and he took his criticisms a straight to the source during his first appearance at the u.n. as president donald trump called on the international body of leaders to improve the way it does business in recent years the united nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement while the united nations on a regular budget has increased by one hundred forty percent and its staff has more
1:30 am
than doubled since two thousand and we are not seeing the results in line with this investment speaking for about four minutes president on all time also called on the world leaders to hold every level of management accountable and focus on the results and not the process and he shared his views on how the un can be better on development management peace and security we seek a united nations that regains the trust of the people around the world in order to achieve this the united nations was told every level of management accountable protect whistleblowers and focus on results rather than on process. to honor the people of our nation we must ensure that no one and no members show a disproportionate share of the bird and that militarily or financially meanwhile u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson and russian foreign minister sergei lavrov met sunday
1:31 am
night in new york on the sidelines of the united nations general assembly the meeting that was initiated by the u.s. it lasted about forty five minutes the pair discuss cooperation on the syrian crisis issues in the middle east and the agreement to bring peace to ukraine according to the u.s. department of state the two recommitted to the decomp lifting military operations in syria reducing the violence and creating the conditions for the geneva process to move forward pursuant to united nations security council resolution the seventy second regular session of the un general assembly debate will convene tuesday where president donald trump will make his formal debut on the world stage in front of one hundred and ninety three member nations this is a very big week for president donald trump he has several one on one talks with foreign counterparts to discuss global issues one very important meeting he has later on this week is lunch with the leaders of south korea and japan to discuss rising tensions in north korea which is also a top priority on the u.n. gas' list reporting in new york trinity chavez r.t.
1:32 am
. to keep the conversation going we're joined now live by trinity charges from our new york studio trinity obviously this is a gathering of one hundred ninety three nations but from the sounds of it all eyes are on one president and the president donald trump with his debut what can we expect from him this week. you know some of that's a very good question that's a question that's on everyone's mind this will be his time on one of the most whole high profile stages in the world and we're talking like you said about one hundred and ninety three world leaders i think a lot of those leaders will want to hear what he has to say as far as what kind of approach he will take especially since he has long criticized the u.n. back in two thousand and sixteen when he was a presidential candidate we heard him talk about the utter weakness and the incompetence incompetency of the united nations during his campaign trump at one point even said the united nations is not a friend of democracy it's a friend it's not even
1:33 am
a friend to freedom but since taking office he has definitely softened his approach and his stance on the u.n. saying that it has tremendous potential but this is a chance for the president to reach all of the world leaders out the same time and talk about his america first approach that he has long talked about his national security adviser said on fox over the weekend that the president will emphasize three themes which is to protect the american people promote american prosperity and help promote accountability and sovereignty among trinity will be following your reporting from new york thank you so much artie's trinity charges. as we look at more issues from a global perspective but let's tackle one that's a little harder to track global income inequality has been pretty hard to pin down thanks to the secrecy of tax havens like switzerland and the cayman islands but new data should fly on just how much the world well. we have stashed away. joining us
1:34 am
for more on this what is this new research telling us well summed up quickly it basically argues that global income inequality is actually worse than we initially thought thanks to new data we know more about the scope of worldwide income inequality than ever before according to a report from the national bureau of economic research the amount of money stored in offshore tax havens is equal to ten percent of global g.d.p. that's equivalent to nearly five point six trillion dollars so all of that money isn't spread out evenly over half of it stashed away in gulf countries in latin america well nearly fifteen percent is in europe and traditionally it's countries like switzerland that take the most heat for tax havens but they've actually been on the decline there on the other hand they've been on the rise in asia there was also an increase in the u.s. so it's still below the average so with the exception of
1:35 am
a few. has grown over the past fifteen years and that impacts income inequality work taxes are concerned since the world's richest can avoid some of that for example look at the us or wealthy metropolitan areas are making income gains as rural areas lagged behind since two thousand and thirteen the average income in the twenty five largest cities rose by eight point four percent according to the u.s. census bureau but for those who lived outside of those areas the average income only grew by five point three percent now it's certainly not just the u.s. that has an inequality problem in fact the secretary general of the o.e.c.d. said the years ago that we've already reached a tipping point worldwide that might be the case bianca let's talk more about the us what you were mentioning to us what are some of the factors that play into the growing divide that you see here well according to new data from the census bureau it sort of shows how the tech sector has had an inadvertent role in community. if
1:36 am
you look at the tech hubs in the us whether it's francisco seattle denver sharyn charlotte they the tech sector is really booming there so it's created a lot of jobs now as a result the average income has grown by almost ten percent and is higher than the average across the board in the u.s. which is a good thing it's creating jobs helping those local economies but in the other cities and suburbs and in particular the rural areas that don't have the tech to benefit from they're not seen as much growth they're still having a little bit of growth since the recession but not as much and really hurts the areas that have already been impacted by the drop in manufacturing and so forth so it's just an example of how something like tax haven certainly add to income inequality but there are also things that are a little less out of our control just the way that our economy changes which sectors sort of died down which new ones pop up which also of course makes it harder to one quantify the scope of income inequality but also makes it harder for us to argue and agree on a solution to fix it but as we're learning
1:37 am
a little bit more about it thanks to this new research i mean where does the u.s. stand when you compare it to the rest of the world well definitely depends which measurement you use if you use the genie co-efficient which is a very popular method the u.s. is only we're number four in terms of countries with the most income inequality so we're pretty high up there and in fact we're getting to the point where the u.s. is being used as an example as of what not to do in australia another nation that's struggling with income inequality there was a report from a trade organization that basically said our economy is going to become americanised if we don't stop so they're saying we're going to see jobs with less pay more hours less holidays and everything if we don't try and fix this all right . thank you so much for that report. time now for a quick break stick around when we return a defense contractor giant takes to the skies and space with a multibillion dollar. we'll look at what will drive president decisions on
1:38 am
immigration his heart or the country's wallet and as we go to break the closing bell. this. week. it was. this year. she refused. to.
1:39 am
wear the blue. area for him and it's. never really know for sure but this is. going to have no idea. that. all the crimes are being committed today on wall street talked about like lloyd blankfein and say we're not committing any crimes because even though he's doing the same crimes that sent them to these bankers to jail. the one nine hundred eighty s. trying to say was a long process they got government to change the law so that those crimes are not he legal anymore so he's right he's not breaking the law anymore because he changed a lot of make what was illegal illegal.
1:40 am
here's what people have been saying about redacted in the us it actually does belong austin the only show i go out of my way to launch you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of marty americans do the same we are apparently better than blue the things that i see people you have never heard of love redacted tonight my president of the world bank though they didn't really have any seriously send us an e-mail. well you know the cars they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're into smaller boats next to the harp on ships and it's scary . the little self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dot and it won't be calm or.
1:41 am
calm fifteen's. tongues to do it several times a day with a big fleet oh you get an idea why. we have to understand we can all still use to just. be with them this will be the old boy you are. doing this because i want the future. to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. defense contractor giant northrop grumman is setting its sights high in the sky with a billion dollar buy of a rocket maker orbital eighty k.
1:42 am
the deal announced monday details north of paying seven point eight billion dollars in cash for the company setting orbitals shares soaring more than one thousand percent before opening bell northrop also absorb orbitals one point four billion in debt now orbital is more than a rocket maker it's also heavily involved in the missile defense business at a time when conflict with north korea is putting a bright spotlight on the industry orbitals defense system group includes development of advanced missile interceptors the deal boosts northrop's presence in the space and missile business orbital has billion dollar contracts with both nasa and the army along with contracts with the u.s. missile defense agency now the deal is still subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close the first half of next year the money shouldn't be an issue though northrop should be able to easily handle the seven point eight billion dollars price tag in two thousand and seventeen the company expects to make about thirty billion dollars in sales. another u.s.
1:43 am
company though is it kerry as well as we start the week general motors has been hit by a labor strike in canada with workers walking off the job at an automotive plant the union has made it clear their beef is beyond just wages and working conditions it's about survival alex the heil of h. is in toronto for us with this one alex it seems like talks between g.m. and the union that they were going well what happened well into this happened at the factory just hopeless about two hours outside of toronto or to have a place called in your soul three thousand workers work walked out the decision was made at eleven pm on sunday night to do this and when you look at the breakdown for workers who supported this was ninety nine point eight percent of workers signed off on this in august saying if that they could not reach a deal they're going to walk out now if you talk to g.m. they say everything was going fantastic it was going the direction was supposed to go for some reason these guys got up and left g.m. started writing this off as something that is dead in the water there so they're
1:44 am
hoping that that's a good ones day or later in this week that they could at least have a tentative deal but for now what the workers are asking for and i'll break it down for you is higher wages better better better benefits as well as more investment in the assembly line in this factory now this factory makes the equinox the chevrolet equinox the vehicle itself they used to make the train as well and that went to mexico so equinox is the bread and butter of this establishment that's what the workers know that's what they want to have entrenched here by seeing that g.m. makes a bigger investment they all know that their jobs are more secure they don't want to see this truck or this car going down two down south when xico as well so that's the demand out there making and that's where survival is the question ok when you say that it's really about survival that actually ties into the nafta agreement doesn't it we just does another six actually this right so they would. you see all
1:45 am
this all of these cars over the trucks going for manufacturing in mexico it's all within the nafta agreement canada mexico and the states and if you look at this graphic sort of gives you a good idea of what is going on here so you look since two thousand and four look at mexico i mean they shot up in auto manufacturing big time while canada and the us i mean canada had a massive drop there all of our cars we've talked about this before and trucks parts are made either in canada and the states and mexico crosses borders all the time when it comes to nafta now that we have the nafta negotiations up again canada has started to make a little bit of a push here and that's a lot of the has to do with the right to work that we're seeing in the states so in the states if you are in a union or if you will work for a company let's say like g.m. you have you could opt out of paying union dues and still the reuse basically represent to you either way what candidates say is that this is basically not fair use have to be union your workers have to pay their union dues and because of that
1:46 am
it's obviously that these states there's an advantage over the canadians if there you don't have this this how can you put this hurdle of a union also canada wants to see mexican workers paid the same as canadian american workers for the exact same job that they're doing so we want to see a level playing field and that's going to be obvious and there could be a lot of head butting around that with president trump and with his team so right now the way it stands even with a negotiation like you're seeing what's happening in her shawl and terrio this really touches upon many facets that deal with all of nafta so that's a can of the states and of course mexico. in toronto for us thank you so much thank you. as u.s. president donald trump works to keep jobs in the u.s. some of his other policy goals are working to remove workers from the country whether it's mixed messaging on dreamers those immigrants his parents illegally
1:47 am
brought them into the u.s. . children or aims to cut legal immigration have some economists are worried trump's immigration stance will harm the economy not protect it let's bring in marshall our back for his take he's a research associate at levy economics institute marshall thanks for being here i want to first talk about these dreamers and dhaka the deferred action for childhood arrivals program because it sounds like trump is going to work with the dems to keep these eight hundred thousand some immigrants in the country trying said he would deal with these dreamers with a big heart but is there an economic reason to keep them around. where he says a lot of things are. not sure he's displayed much of a big heart and it's almost as if wherever deals with him seems to get the word they want to hear so i'm not sure whether we can take his public statement seriously but i think it's more more to the point. it's politically toxic for either party to be seen to be deporting over eight hundred thousand people from the
1:48 am
country even though it might please a hard core of his radical followers the main thing is that you know this is a really the legacy of a problem that's been existence since one thousand nine hundred six the last time we had a. immigration amnesty under ronald reagan and the problem and i think the tied up with this is that you had. given to a over three million illegal immigrants but the quid pro quo was that you would somehow regain control of the borders and and therefore restrict the flow of legal immigration and ultimately what we ended up having was a mystery and there was no real reform on immigration or the immigration laws per se and that's created this bill to present skepticism which has led to extreme measures such as the proposal for the wall and you know in
1:49 am
a sense god. tied up with that as well as being tied up with the debt limit but we don't hear a lot about the immigration laws in this country changing we do hear a lot about that wall that you mentioned marshall what was the economic basis behind that though because you hear that you know terms pretty adamant about this he says the wall is going to happen whether it's tied to this legislation or that legislation that's going to be the case but then he's surrounded by experts that say well maybe that's not the most economic way to go with this that maybe there are some better ways at enforcing the border what say you. well look he says look we're going to do the wall because when he's on the campaign when he was on the campaign trail or when he's on some rally in arizona he gets that's where he gets the biggest cheers and then he says and who's going to pay for it and they all scream out mexico well if that's the case and why on earth do you need congress to appropriate money look there's no other than the fact that i suppose if you spend twenty five billion building a wall you're going to get some economic benefit from it in the sense of that it's
1:50 am
an infrastructure spend unless of course it's mexicans building the wall that mean that's the other possibility but he clearly it's a sound bite and i know that people say that you know will look they they have a wall in israel and it's been very successful over there but you know that slightly different circumstances you're dealing with. millions of people that are hostile to israel's national security i don't think that's the case here with the mexicans by any stretch they want to participate in the american dream not destroy it and secondly look at the map i mean you know a wall in israel wouldn't even cover you know one third of the texas border so i mean it's nonsensical and your last point general john kelly who is now chief of staff and was originally appointed is homeland security said secretary himself said that a wall in itself won't get the job done it has become blind with border security
1:51 am
and. maybe some form of higher surveillance more border control guards being being hired so when you've got the former head of homeland security saying this and you've got a lot of moderate republicans and of course the democrats are also saying that they want to there willing to do a quid pro quo on beefed up security in the they're not going to do the wall the makings of a deal out there and at this point i think trump is more interested in just putting points on the board so to speak than having the wall per se even though there are people like rush limbaugh lauren and coulter who will be very upset with him that he doesn't actually physically construct a wall but he's also a deal maker so we'll see if he decides to you know deal with the dems on that one but let's talk a little bit more about legal immigration now publicly back to bill that would slash the number of green cards that were awarded each year in half and it would be implemented on a merit based system which had mixed reviews and it included giving preference to those speaking english can we see examples in other parts of the world where
1:52 am
they've been using a point based immigration system and and what is been the result of that. yes well i'm from canada originally by the way i came here illegally and and used a lawyer just for the record i am a green card holder but look at canada australia are two problem if examples of countries that do use a points based system and yes in the case of canada for example which i know pretty well the ability to speak english in french which of the two official languages is a big factor in the points system but there are also it's also skills based so there are a number of things where that are put on it but but it is not discriminatory and it's working its work very well it commands a lot of political legitimacy precisely because it is perceived to be neutral as far as race or religion color creed goes and you know it would seem to be a very very good model for the u.s. to adopt in fact in the you. they as they've been speaking about breaks it and what
1:53 am
sort of. policies they'd like to follow they too have made reference to the points based immigration system so that would seem to me to be a much more sensible way for the us to go back to that's the way the immigration system here used to be very very skills based before the nine hundred sixty five that came into play real quick we only have about a minute left marshall but i wanted to ask him if we make the emphasis on skilled based immigration there's an argument out there that no one's going to take the low skilled jobs these are jobs that regular american citizens don't want what do you think comes of that well the answer is if you pay a living wage you'll get americans to do the jobs i mean we fought a civil war over one hundred fifty years ago to abolish slavery so while whenever i hear this argument about americans won't do the jobs that. other people will do the question is do you want to pay a living wage would you want to pay slave wages we have both slavery so let's let's
1:54 am
pay a sensible wage and i guarantee you'll get americans to do them thank you so much for your take marshall our back research associate at levy economics institute appreciate time thank you one thanks for having me. a rolling stone gathers no moss as the saying goes and right now in order to keep its brand alive magazine rolling stone is up for sale again for fifty years rolling stone has been a staple known for its music and pop culture journalism and for its iconic cover photos of celebs from john lennon to jennifer aniston however there's not enough star power to help rolling stone's financial troubles the announcement comes six months after rolling stone owner when her media announced being debt free in one year after selling forty nine percent stake in the magazine to a singapore based digital music company but with a ten percent loss in newsstand sales last year and likely declining it's less surprising here is knowing when our media is hoping the remaining shares of rolling stone fly off the shelf faster than its monthly issues all right that'll do it for

1:57 am
about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. you're at the top to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry 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 on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one quite different speech because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker.
1:58 am
prescribe medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit suicide watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects . is is gellatly alter what i did was done on a cocktail of lethal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's safe. when i'll show it's same wrong why don't we all just don't know all. the world is yet to shape out disdain because to advocate and engagement equals betrayal.
