yeah. i think i think. i. can you give. us a voice of the united nations accuses north korea of bringing the world closer. to the regime. of north korea made a choice yesterday that brings the world closer to not far from.

ship of its media credentials by the u.s. congress just weeks after being forced to register as foreign agents. here at. least. for the military probably taking poison at the war crimes court in the hague. to live with me. thanks for joining us tonight the u.s. ambassador to the united nations has accused north korea of pushing the world closer to war with its latest. nikki haley was speaking at an emergency security council summit. the dictator of north korea made a choice yesterday that brings the world closer to war not farther from it if war

does come it will be because of continued acts of aggression like we witnessed yesterday and if war comes make no mistake the north korean regime will be utterly destroyed. to live in the studio by some miracle for more on this thanks for staying abreast of. the creasing in the security council. what we took away from this meeting well the emergency meeting was held specifically to discuss north korea's latest missile test in which they launch successfully launch an intercontinental ballistic missile that's capable of carrying nuclear weapons and some believe it could reach washington but nikki haley echoed these concerns and even asked the international community to follow suit she first called to essentially revoke north korea's voting rights at the u.n. but we're just paraphrasing here her exact words were a little bit different of the. first we should continue to treat north korea as the

international pariah it has become by taking its un rights and privileges away including its voting. and now nikki haley also urged all countries to cut off all ties with the d.p. r. k. and these include diplomatic scientific and trade ties in order to quote reverse the crisis but let's take a listen. we call on all nations to cut off all ties with north korea in addition to fully implementing all un sanctions all countries should sever diplomatic relations with north korea and limit military scientific technical or commercial cooperation now in contrast to the us russia urged against increasing tensions and actually called for political dialogue and multilateralism. is difficult to move towards any settlement as long as north korea feels that its security is threatened in the current situation urgently call in all parties

involved to stop escalating the tensions that accompany each new cycle of reactions and response measures we all need to pause and think carefully about the consequences of such steps as of now we're just waiting for north korea's response but until we get that the situation remains relatively unclear what some are calling the latest updates from the u.n. security council thanks for. well north korea claims it's a new intercontinental ballistic missile could hit targets on the u.s. mainland right after the launch south korea staged its own missile exercise. says a strike launched by seoul took place near the northern limit line which separates the two koreas in the east sea while north korea's missile was still in the air president trump was briefed on the matter here is how he reacted to the missile was launched. a little while ago north korea will tell you to take care of it it is

a situation that we. all troubles are tweeted that he has discussed the launch with china's president on the two leaders have decided on more sanctions against pyongyang. explains how the north korea's military capabilities have changed over the past two months. early wednesday north korea suddenly broken over two month pause in weapons testing and showed a significant bump in their capabilities the missile is believed to be north korea's most powerful projectile to date let's break down the details during a flight the rocket reached an altitude of up to four thousand five hundred kilometers to put that in perspective that is more than ten times the height of the international space station and while that number does come from a statement from north korea it is in line with estimates released by both japan and south korea the missile splashdown off of japan's west coast but it has been reported that if missile had been fired on a standard path it could reach a target almost anywhere in the world including any part of the u.s. it went higher frankly did any previous they paid for research and development

effort on their part are you building full of the force that could threaten. everywhere in the world basically something likely to increase now reignited tensions is the fact that in less than a week the u.s. and south korea will again conduct drills on north korea's doorstep a practice that sees a blatant threat that they will not leave unanswered. i . russia and china have called for the maneuvers to be paused numerous times and life of the less than friendly climate but those suggestions have been ignored along with pleas to restrain from the back and forth name calling and aggressive rhetoric between the u.s. and north korea that has been a trademark of this year this is all culminated in north korea possessing

a nuclear bomb and a missile to deliver it anywhere allowing them to probably announce the conclusion of their nuclear program it looks like diplomacy may never be given a chance. more insight on the story we're joined by gregory a member of the advisory board of the korea policy is this you thanks for joining us good to have you on the program quite a strong words from mickey out of you today saying north korea is pushing the world plosive toward the shelf a point. it's not north korea that's pushing their workload for the war i think it's to trump an ministrations that's doing so so going back a while joe if you own who's the u.s. special representative on north korea policy toward a meeting at the consulate one of relations if north korea refrained from nuclear and missile testing for sixty days that the united states would. engage in direct dialogue with north korea or north korea did better than that they want two and

a half months without doing any test whatsoever and what kind of reward did they get the trump ministration send b. one bombers over south korea practicing the bombing in north korea. and sent three aircraft carriers off the shore of the korean peninsula to practice the bombing of for north korea and then designated north korea as a state sponsor of terrorism. doing absolutely everything possible to kill off any possibility of diplomacy and i think the north koreans got fed up with this one sided approach and we're back to fast track development of missile program which they see as a defensive measure against the threats that they're getting from the trumpet ministration. old circles old trade with north korea to be shut down most of its trade is obviously china a lot of countries sanctions on north korea already do you think it's

a handful beijing take specific action against north koreans from the the u.s. . no i think it's more than a hint quickly discussions between your selfishness and chinese officials and every time there's heavy duty pressure on the chinese officials to bend to the u.s. demands to basically cut off all trade with north korea and i don't think chinese want to do that because that would have disastrous humanitarian results. came out of here in crisis already it's the sanctions are so severe that they threaten severe economic impact on the people of north korea and what we've seen interventions before. by foster un this is one crisis which i think most countries hope to resolve within the remit of the united nations here result peacefully but do you think resolutions passed by the security council are going to have any influence at all and own community. no because the.

resolutions that are passed by the u.n. are drawn up by the united states and their punishment the more the united states wants to punish north korea the more they convince north korea that they need to develop nuclear terror and protect themselves it has the opposite effect. if the united states were truly interested in. ramping down tensions it would engage in dialogue with no reason not to engage in dialogue and i have to say that the whole concept of punishing north korea for firing off i.c.b.m. is completely one sided so this year india pakistan russia and china launched i.c.b.m.'s united states has launched more i.c.b.m.'s this year the north korea has so why only north korea and. both defined provocations whereas everyone else in the missile test are nothing to be concerned about is completely one sided and i think there's a politico motivation to punish north korea it's not really a threat it was

a sort of disable write little sides here with a matric sausage bought by south korea as well and days following that missile test but i mean i think the main concern for a lot of people is the development of that nuclear program which is in breach of international rule do you think that something that should be overlooked or ignored or old is this something that north korea is doing for its own defense because it feels threatened i mean should something they should be punished fold not the missile launches specifically but a developmental venue to program. i don't have time to go into the whole history of it but why did they develop this program in the first place and because they were being threatened and sanctioned. at any rate if the united states were truly concerned about north korea's nuclear program and why would it be why is that only considered by north korea's program and not say pakistan for example but. it's there's not any kind of standard here. but if you're not if you're truly concerned about north korea's nuclear program it wouldn't going to buy

a lot but the only way to resolve the problem north korea fed many many plans repeatedly they're not willing to give up a nuclear program unless you know i've been very drops of hostile policy i think like a reasonable request to me. oh let's hope that is resolved through negotiation through the u.n. gregory a member of the advisory board of the korea policy institute thanks so much for your time today. thank you. oh in other news i can rushnell committee in the u.s. has revoked ought to america's accreditation on capitol hill ought to receive the following letter informing us of the decision the executive committee of the congressional radio and television correspondents galleries exercises with dorsey to withdraw the news credentials of the o.t. network this action was taken in response to the registration of the auntie network as a foreign agent please return your credentials to the senate sergeant on capitol hill

in the united states there are all kinds of panels as well as congressional hearings by both the house of representatives and the senate and in order to get into those panels and hearings and events in which the workings of the u.s. government takes place in order to get in you have to be accredited well now it looks like r.t. is going to be denied access to reporting on events on capitol hill now this comes after are to you was pressured by the u.s. department of justice to register as a foreign agent now heather nauert the spokesperson for the u.s. state department insisted that having us register would not affect our work in any way this is what she said when the united states tells someone to register under a foreign agent requirement we don't see impacts or a fact the ability of them to report. news and information we just have to register it's a simple as that well it does appear that it seems to be the opposite of what

heather nauert said because as of the moment we've received this letter which is essentially telling us that our ability to operate as a news agency and function and report on events on capitol hill a vital place in the u.s. political system the legislative branch of the u.s. government that ability is now in question now at the moment we have this letter telling us that we need to turn over our credentials now this comes in the aftermath of r.t. being pressured and forced to register under the foreign agents resist registration act now this is a law that was passed in one thousand thirty eight to combat the influence of nazi germany and efforts and propaganda efforts by the nazi government back in the one nine hundred thirty s. now it follows months and months of pressure that have been placed on our see recently archie's status in the united states with youtube and their ability to do premium ads in the united states was taken away without any real notice twitter has

banned advertising by r.t. and there's been a series of hearings on capitol hill directed at r.t. which are g.'s a name has come up people are calling this atmosphere a witch hunt so this is yet another move another amount of pressure making it harder for reporters like myself to do our job in the united states or editor in chief marketing the simona has given her reaction to the withdrawal of all the americans a quarter station to all the self-righteous defendants the freedom of speech who also ardently proclaimed that far registration places no restrictions whatsoever on azziz journalistic work in the u.s. withdrawal of congressional credentials speaks much louder than m. to plentitude illegal a media analyst told us what he thinks is behind the latest action against thought the american. the first amendment where scores hundreds thousands of people from every conceivable form of press that there is they get

a badge but are cheney oh oh oh oh no they're all foreign agent very different be gone now look i understand this all started when hillary clinton lost the election i understand it and i understand that they needed a scapegoat and i understand they had to blame somebody so russia came along right that's terrific if i read out stories and i made up most of them and asked people which of these is the fake r t news story nobody would believe it i mean if anybody if nobody knew this you would think this is this propaganda mill that just cranks out i don't know what i mean that's it i don't want to make light out of it if it wasn't so tragic it would be tragic a war crimes trial in the hague has taken an expected we'll have

a story and more just after this short break because they seemed. it's. going to put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. that you're going to be

the same like them before katrina more people are. interested always in the water. was the international. monetary come on a slow but on has died off the taking poison the war crimes court and the hague as the verdict was being read out of an appeals hearing he unexpectedly produced a small bottle drunk from it right in front of the judge. still. the. order of proof. has taken poison.

dramatic scenes in the courtroom at the hague as the judge announced that slobodan play the former bosnian croat military commanders twenty year sentence for having taken part in war crimes would be upheld and he would be returned to the cells on this to play act produced a small bottle from his jacket said that he was not a war criminal and drank from it we understood that he then collapsed into his chair the video feed cut out he was rushed to hospital and it was confirmed later that he died in a hospital yack had been convicted in twenty thirteen for his role in the destruction of the mob star bridge now the court of ruled that this caused disproportionate damage to the muslim civilian population in the region it was just last week that the international criminal tribunal for the former yugoslavia handed

down a life sentence to ratko melodic the former bosnian serb military commander was convicted on charges of war crimes crimes against humanity and genocide and the appeal hearing of slobodan pray yack was actually going to be the final hearing involving the c.t.y. it's supposed to be wrapped up next month following eighty three convictions and sentences being handed down by the court since it was first started back in one thousand nine hundred three at the height of the conflict in the former yugoslavia in the time it has come in for criticism most notably for the handing down of sentences disproportionately to those from the bosnian serb side of the conflict. well since the hague tribunal was created back in one thousand nine hundred three a total of one hundred sixty one people have been indicted for war crimes in the former yugoslavia the majority of those defendants ninety four worse the tribunal

has been widely criticized for the way hearings are conducted the trials often drag on for years even decades that means that key leaders including the former president slobodan milosevic died in the tension before verdicts were reached in cases where people were acquitted there were allegations of political pressure. and in other news the cryptocurrency but corn reached a record high of eleven thousand dollars on wednesday is valley has soared by an amazing thirteen hundred percent that's just the start of this year a colleague neil harvey discussed the risks and the appeal of investing in trip to currencies with artie's financial guru max kaiser an economics professor steve. it's such a huge right across encourage people looking at the ceiling i've got to be there the entry cost is certainly less than buying a house and hoping the house might appreciate so people are dogging in because the process is rausing but that's one of the definitions of the bubble it was not

a bubble the u.s. dollars in a bubble they feel that currency world is in a bubble stocks and bonds you could argue are in a bubble something that's not a bubble would be a big coin you've got the dollar that is crashing in a hyperinflationary crash against bitcoin. it's total somatics i mean a big point didn't exist you wouldn't be out of coal the stiller and hyper inflationary the us still is maintaining its value it would be the right inflation right running about two percent per annum. corn is running at the moment at. which the die is increased ten percent in one guy now that is in one week that means it will double in two weeks if it keeps up there will be four times for three weeks i tom's eccentric cetera it's like the old chessboard that simply concave on going and i disagree the people using it for a transaction of this this is the floor it's a brilliant why you can create increasing in value it's a store of value sure at the moment but you'd be a mad man to use the transactions you few use when i mention it doesn't like about

a thousand big coin mechs and good luck to you but if you do is that a salesman bit twenty year ago to buy a house you could have bought an os seven hundred fifty thousand dollars house in san jose and i could buy a ten million dollar mansion in san jose you'd be a fool to buy anything and i'm hearing people refer to the now as not crypto currencies but critics are in suits because they intend holding them until they die that is not money it's already the number twenty five biggest reserve currency in the world it's heading into the top ten it'll still be the biggest reserve currency in the world you've got sovereign wealth funds like abu dhabi now buying bitcoins you've got russia and china now and japan actively buying bitcoins because they see that the bubble is bursting and again the u.s. dollar. is collapsing against bitcoin this is a paradigm shift so i can understand why joseph stiglitz came out today practically crying big fat tears he said oh my god the government stand full of the big quite how we survive well just take let's get out of the way you're an old guy old views

are no longer relevant and this is the new paradigm isn't there a really strong argument that it's being used speculatively as a store of value but actually where can you actually use a big gold isn't too many places in the come on you can actually spend it and isn't there a danger when people realize that the pony can sell this story value it's being a it's a there are hundreds of thousands of transactions now a day hundred thousand merchants except going to the real estate market being up ended by pick on you can buy high end properties went big client yachts and and properties and things of this nature trickling down into the middle classes but again the timeline here has to be considered to travel from being a store of value to a means of exchange is going to take another few years mike's makes the point this is the future of its new technology and the centralized that's the key that's what people won't they don't want balan's they don't want government stealing the money when the children cash isn't this the future isn't what more importantly what people want even though you can boil those things with it you'd be immediate to buy those things now because if you wipe ten weeks you can botch washes many or three

times as many so it's a process to stabilize now my worry is when it stabilizes what will happen to that process i don't think it's going to necessarily reach the stratosphere at one hundred thousand dollars and then stay there if you get to the stage where the only returns you're getting out of big coin modding of the transactions then i think the process to fall dramatically this could crash couldn't it what are the dangers for investors at this point you have gold as a case study gold is used takes a lot of energy to produce gold gold is used as a means of exchange as well as a store of value it's been around for quite some time because it is gold to point out the motherlode it's still taking over the global finance in this way it's putting feet of money out of business and the bankers on wall street are running scared jamie diamond is literally in. no peeing in his pants at this point because he knows he's going to be out of a job in five years we don't need the jamie diamonds of the world ripping us off we don't need wells fargo stealing money out of accounts we don't really h.s.b.c. funding drug lords in mexico to the tune of billions of dollars we don't need those

bad actors in society and because it gets rid of all those financial terrorists and it's about time somebody stood up and did battle because the government's not doing it the academics are doing it so we have to coin to do it as the headlines this hour what's going on at the international be back at the top of next hour formal global headlines see the. the village of collect she has been nicknamed sleepy hollow because for some unknown reason its local residents have formed victim to sleep pathetic. it was a stand which. would use if you chance to how you're here to show. it to me with concern that simple to mostly assuring the sort of but i'm also going with the question you're still talking. to go back to the moment of sweet.

smell. grabbing the grass from where did you do what we have i don't want. this with. my sil in there did you both ellesmere off the. first. here's what people have been saying about rejected a night with us is it just full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it's still really packed a punch to sleep yeah it is the john oliver of harvey americans do the same we are apparently better than blue things that i see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight president of the world bank very. seriously

send us an e-mail. greetings and salutation. so today show host matt lauer and mr prairie home companion himself garrison keillor are now the next two major media figures to fall in the vitally needed in law overdue purging of major us institutions at the hands of the me too movement but while the corporate news media reacts and dissects and holds back tears of shock over the latest to dragon slaying of the sexual harassment alter of justice there is another group of victims that have been

conspicuously absent from all the television news coverage since bravely coming forward and telling their stories of harassment and assault they are the over two hundred women who work under the very large umbrella of national security here in the united states who jointly signed and published a letter on november twenty eighth declaring that they too have been victims to various forms of sexual harassment assault and abuse well on the job working to protect the united states of america in their letter to them and their letter entitled me to nat sec the women state that quote this is not just a problem in hollywood silicon valley newsrooms or congress it is everywhere these abuses are born of imbalances of power in environments that permit such practices while silencing and shaming their survivors one of the co-authors of the letter retired ambassador nina hachigian stated assault and harassment in service of our country now let's start watching the hawks.

that got. it.
