arabia and subsequent absence from beirut and they sparked speculation that he was being held under house arrest in riyadh here is what hariri had to say as he left the l.s.a. palace. platform some core france has shown once again how great its role is in the world and in the region and it is proven its dedication to stability and lebanon i will return to beirut in the coming days and will take part in the celebrations dedicated to the country's independence. hariri also promised to express his view on the ongoing situation in lebanon and outlined his next steps after a meeting with the country's leader the statement was made after he had lunch with joined by the prime minister's wife and eldest son turmoil in lebanon is thought to have been on the agenda with her various that visit to france viewed by many as the first step out of the crisis artist marie for national has more from paris the lebanese prime minister's visit to france is another twist in

a quite bizarre story of his resignation that he announced earlier this month in a televised address while in saudi arabia the country of mr hariri holds the second nationality or he then explained that the major reason behind this decision is that temps by iran saudi arabia's long term rival in the region to meddle into the lebanese internal as well as regional affairs and ate immediately sparked speculation that mr hariri was held in saudi arabia against his will and that he was forced to resign and that was the opinion that was shared by many politicians including in lebanon including the country's president who said he cannot accept this resignation unless mr hariri comes back to be rude and discusses this situation with mr president personally after that mr hariri tweeted that he's a free man he dismissed all these speculations and he said that he is free to move

around and as approve of that he is now in france meeting the country's president emmanuel mccall who has been very clear that he considers mr hariri. lebanese prime minister and this is exactly the status he invited mr henry to france eighteen this is what he had to say i will therefore welcome him with you to prime minister who has indeed but his resignation has not been recognized in his country since he has not yet been there i will welcome him here as prime minister number of friends as president emmanuel mccall invited mr hariri to france after he's very short and very unexpected today say to saudi arabia at the time when lebanese prime minister was there the role france is trying to play in this situation is very large france is lebanon's former colonial rule it has a very close historically very close ties with levon on many politicians including

mr hariri the lebanese prime minister used to leave he has a house in paris so france is a very important country for lebanon but many say that maybe this time trying to mediate between the two. very influential power is such as saudi arabia and iran france is risking saudi arabia and iran to have long been competing for influence in the middle east riyadh was a supporter of hariri as a politician whereas lebanon's president is a long term ally of hezbollah even claimed riyadh might have forced the prime minister to resign in a bid to weaken hezbollah which receives support from iran artie's i saw ali looks at why many fear the country could turn into a saudi iranian proxy war. beirut the lebanese capital nicknamed the riviera of the

middle east it's an oasis of calm in an often troubled region but that wasn't always the case the city was the center of a bloody civil war that raged from the one nine hundred seventy five to one nine hundred ninety it was for too long sectarian lines which is still present across the country today. here outside the holiday inn hotel the mosques of the war office still visible thousands of men for took control of a number of luxury hotels in this area the holes in the wall a testament to the fighting. while his street the green line the predominantly muslim west of the city for the

mostly christian east today the story is very different from many religious groups live together in the country and the stability for the past twenty seven years but with the resignation of lebanon's prime minister saad hariri announced live while he was in saudi arabia there are fears that some regional countries are trying to push lebanon into civil strife to pressure the shia political party has has bill as actions were considered as a declaration a war against saudi arabia by lebanon and by the lebanese party of the devil saudi arabia is trying to turn the lebanese against one another they want us to humiliate and fight one another i think the saudi decided to escalate they want to take a very strong position. against hezbollah and they knowing for fact that this would cause instability in the country and they wanted somebody who. probably project forces or forces a kingston against hezbollah so it was like

a coup by this he would use a lot of the lebanese people think about the prospect of a return to the dark days of the civil war and that's one of the boats it did work because said that he steven getting up. and seeing here and working with that with people with different with different religion as we all accept each other. we were almost killed in the last rule i remember everything there was no electricity no water we cannot survive another war i mean i'm afraid there will be a civil war again by the help that god will stop this from happening i'm a sunni muslim but i have friends from all faiths shia druze and others we are all brothers will continue to coexist peacefully sunni shia maronites for us the most important thing in the citizens of lebanon. may god grant that there will be no civil war in lebanon is one of the few countries in the middle east which has

managed to maintain a balance between its many sectarian factions but that balance can be fragile could be upset by certain regional powers choosing the country as a buffer for the road proxy war. in lebanon. we discussed of the ongoing situation in lebanon in an exclusive interview with the country's top diplomat. today we're facing another attempt at creating hot beds of chaos and instability which in turn lead to terrorism what is happening in lebanon follows the same scenario which is why it's necessary to finish this tour here in russia russia is for most of all against radicalism and terrorism we want to discuss preventative measures with moscow to ensure that we not threatened lebanon remain stable and we are able to fight terrorism. there and lebanon is able to counter

any threat we are ready for such a scenario but we strive to do everything possible to prevent this from happening and want to have good relations with saudi arabia we're still acting this way and we're not going to change this approach unless we're forced to act in self-defense and the whole we can follow such a constructive policy but we're not immune from hostile actions towards us we see this in the situation with mr hariri anyone could go to war with us but i still doubt that this will happen because the consequences would affect those who start a war of course lebanon would suffer as well so we want to avoid war. feel. any country can take action against hezbollah as the us does although the hezbollah leader has repeatedly said whoever wants to oppose us let them oppose us but leave lebanon alone we do not want lebanon to suffer because of us we believe that any punishment directed against all the lebanese people will have consequences

for those responsible and affect the entire region is what is europe whoever decides to punish lebanon should think carefully before making such a decision but everyone bears responsibility for their actions including hezbollah the. german parties are struggling to form a new government almost two months after the election merkel's c.d.u. c.s.u. bloc the greens and the free democrats are trying to build a so-called jamaica coalition as their combined colors resemble that of the country's flag but the party still appear far from a deal with crucial decisions frozen while they make up their mind arty's peter oliver explains i'm going to merkel missed an important e.u. summit in sweden on friday as she struggles to form a government while the excuse she gave for not being in attendance hasn't gone down well with so on across the continent as well angle of merkel is distracted here in berlin major projects of ground to an almost standstill.

with the chancellor merkel's full backing the ambitious pillar of social rights plan which was launched in sweden on friday hardly landed with fireworks. then this breaks it where there's little chance of trade talks that theresa may want so desperately getting under way before this a government here in germany. the same goes for eurozone reforms that were put forward by french president emanuel it's worth noting that those that you members would have had to wait for coalition discussions to start here in germany while the free democrats argued that they didn't want to have to sit next to an immigration alternative for germany in the chamber but when talks began they certainly haven't been plain sailing the deadline was set for thursday evening but that has been and gone and those talks still going

on but the hellishness it's not going to be easy it will certainly be difficult but it's worth negotiating a second time i'm going to shower for a no no half and then i'm going to go on t.v. and try to make a good impression and spread optimism the idea is that the government will be a coalition of merkel's christian democrats and their bavarian sister party as well as the environmentalist green party and the pro-business free democrats to achieve it they have to overcome some major divisions like the upper limits of asylum seekers allowed to arrive in the country and refugees family reunifications plus the use of coal the greens want to seriously cuts it while the free democrats say that could harm the economy it's expected that some sort of deal will be struck eventually but there's also rumblings of fresh elections should the divisions

between these parties prove to be too white peter all of a burly the media know it's a very the clocks are ticking with of the party still at odds political scientist and c.d.u. party member says the e.u. will simply have to wait. then sherman is see the most important power of the european union the european union certainly cannot move with our chair money and torture money to move or to push forward the european union or to stop pushing it forward whatever germany is in need of a stable government so far we have no stable government secure for all european business has to wait until germany is ready to be an active player in the european game where we will simply have the situation there other than in the last decades germany paralysed itself which is an exceptional situation but since uncle or mirthless contributed very much to this situation well it's up to her to find

a way of muddling through. septembers a scandal free election campaign and vote was dubbed one of the most boring in recent times however merkel's possible coalition partners are perhaps more interesting than they might seem.

to let's say the terrorists. world powers are locked in a stalemate over a chemical probe in syria that story and more still to come stay with us this is our teacher. using markets to wage war against country contrary individual to individual and we saw it in greece when goldman sachs and their buddies decided to tear down that country to rip it for billions of dollars of the profits john paulson we got goldman sachs and now it's spilling over into the crypto world and the geopolitical

world that's happening. with this manufactured consensus public will. when the right wing closest to protect themselves. with the flaming. lips. we can all middle of the room say. you. are welcome back this is arch international live from moscow now the diplomatic standoff between russia and the us has spiraled over whether to extend a chemical weapons and probe in syria on friday moscow vetoed

a resolution on the issue for the second time in twenty four hours russia is calling for major changes in how the joint investigative mechanism works. russia has no interest in finding common ground you have stopped trying to shift the blame on russia and russia has not negotiated with any of us used to this is a deliberate attempt to disinform a should russia will not agree to any mechanism but i believe the extension of the journey is only possible for us after all the major deficiencies in its work of fixed russia's actions today and in recent weeks have been designed to delay to distract and ultimately to defeat the effort because i would have you forgotten how yesterday you killed a j i am russia is wasting our time. everything happening here looks like some ridiculous space to call to me. however behind the scenes both ambassadors were caught on camera calmly discussing the situation tensions it grew after the investigation issued its final report on the chemical attack in syria's can share koon in april this year the report concluded that the syrian government

was behind the incident that killed over eighty people something strongly denied by the russian side moscow earlier proposed its own draft resolution but that also failed to pass a u.n. vote and one of russia's main concerns is the reliability of the samples used as evidence that is because experts carrying out the probe didn't visit the actual site of the attack and received their data through third parties which had transported samples out of syria the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley responded to those concerns from russia with a strongly worded statement. with the unity of this council or alone and under strain of all russia's obstructionism we will continue to fight for justice and accountability the united states is not orsillo to take military action in syria. without the endorsement of the security council in order

to believe it is already in wiley's an international law for the military actions that it is taking. because those have not been explicitly in security council it's up to other countries to put downward pressure on the united states. if the united states government's violations of international law bother the. u.s. conservative groups have held a rally in boston and were met by an anti-fascist counter demonstration as well resist marxism and boston free speech planned the so-called rally for the republican event after a similar gathering was overwhelmed in august this time around their opponents came to stop the rally chanting no trump no pay k.k. no fascist usa the march have been banned by the city's authorities but activists turned up anyway. a political satirist in the u.s. has carried out

a social experiment of sorts to see what would cause more controversy waving the american flag or terror group islamic state where this country on planet earth to protect all freedoms right. here right now and there are wanted to see what the reaction would be with well another flag that's out there in the news. i denounce american imperialism. thank you. for what you've said after spending several hours waving my isis flag. shouting pro ice is anti american rhetoric the sum total of one person was upset by it. but the choice of the location for the experiment in berkeley california may have influenced the result a number of large scale anti-nationalist rallies have taken place there throughout the year with some turning violent earlier my colleague andrew farmer spoke to me

horowitz about his experiment. i was out there for about an hour and in that hour we had about i was about twenty to twenty five people were made in a negative comments toward the flag and maybe three or four had positive comments able to flex the vast majority of commas they received were quite negative it ranges from you know america's not great this you know support service that was that to f. america that number of as well when you are flying the symbol of america and people react that way no matter what you expect and still shocking so the second part of the video was i was waving the isis flag the most part people were simply not saying a word they were ignoring it they're looking mean walking away i got a couple and you saw them both in the video some support for the isis flag sickly and disgustingly enough. i was with the isis flag for over two hours so more than double the time i was with a u.s. flag and i only got a slow one person who thought it was of noxious i suppose another thought that

crossed my mind people might not think it might not have just registered with them what you were doing i was yelling isis come fight for isis i said isis every third word they could not escape the fact that this was the isis flag and i was a representative of isis and i people may be skeptical because they know that this is anything down to ten minutes and you can pick and choose vote pulps the the thing to say the narrative the way i do my business is i only i will only show what the majority opinion is so for example there were people support of the u.s. flag i didn't show that because the most majority people respond to me were overwhelmingly negative i never cherry pick in the sense that i'll never do the reverse i'll never show the minority and express that as the majority of the years i've been doing this i've never been accused with one exception was sweden which was you know i've been accused of doctoring the footage. back in about thirty five minutes with a full look at your news you are watching art international glad to have you with

us. please tell me all. about it. tell. her. oh. please you will this is all the food. look. at least. least. look. led. her. mother.

they call me a useful idiot i mean you called me a useful idiot a useful idiot useful idiots go expressing my opinions on t.v. there are thousands of us doing it behind his record is the same strategy we attack persons instead of talking about what's next why stop me from getting this close to the white house i'm with a group code pink why not ban the color pink one hour stretch beyond the right i should be sent to the town because i'm going to try to break me on the wheel but out with a long time of this sort of nonsense you don't scare me and i'll continue to voice my opinion i'll continue to speak out in good company i'm in good company you're going to be you want to do this because we're all freezing cold.

hello max keiser this is the kaiser report we've talked to for years about financial warfare people using markets to wage war against country to country individual individual and we saw in greece when goldman sachs and their buddies decided to tear down that country and rip it for billions of dollars of the profits john paulson. goldman sachs and now it's spilling over into the crypto world in the geo political world that's happening right yes this is a remarkable story because it's something out of sort of conspiracy theory normally the mainstream media would say this is conspiracy theory mind you they have not covered it since the intercepts posted this so here is the headline leaked

documents expose stunning plan to wage financial war on terror and steal the world cup a plan for the united arab emirates to wage financial war against its gulf rival cutter was found in the task folder of an e-mail account belonging to you a bastard to the united states yousef otaiba and subsequently obtained by the interest that the economic warfare involved in attack and cutters currency using bond derivatives manipulation the plan laid out in the slide deck provided to intercept through the group global leaks was aimed at tanking cutter's economy according to documents drawn up by a bank outlining the strategy so we'll go through that strategy in a moment but it's a slide deck it's a powerpoint sort of presentation from the bank havilland which is owned by a very well connected financier to the tory party and it's very interesting. what

we've been talking about the ability to derivatives and financial futures to wage war on another country and the fact that. the global economy has become financial ised we've we've moved beyond tangible assets as a measure of wealth we've moved beyond borders as a national boundaries we have large money center banks we have a hedge funds we have to rid of wielding kind of rogue traders operating without accountability they have access to twenty to thirty trillion dollars worth of offshore money that's completely on scene on tax on known they have access to unlimited money at zero percent interest rate from the central banks so may find a country that they want to act like cutter they can simply go into the bond market of the stock market the currency market and using highly leveraged bats they can dump a billion hundred billion a trillion dollars at the sell orders they can destabilize that market they can cause volatility they can jack up interest rates and the point being that modern

warfare has jumped over the boundaries of the physical world and just as a corollary to this are seeing this also in bitcoin there's a an interloper a row coined called big cash and they're using the same manipulative techniques that we're seeing these states use to try and undermine bitcoin itself which is to to be totally expected and the financial futures contract in the c.m.e. for bequests coming very shortly but this is not unpredictable they have a group of rogue crypto enthusiasts who are attacking bitcoin using a fake would call because in cash which is a fake coin well those are individuals or groups of investors those are groups of hedge funds private equity and this article mentions that private equity has done this sort of deal here this is on a nation state level this is the united arab emirates this was presented a plan was presented to them by a very politically connected bank.
