ok. all right ok. ok. the u.s. envoy to the united nations accuses north korea of bringing the world closer to war but countries to isolate the regime. the dictator of north korea made a choice yesterday that brings the world closer to not farther from. korea's latest missile tests to launch an intercontinental ballistic missile some believe that could reach washington order to quote reverse the crisis u.s. mainland that's right after the south korea stage its own. limit line which

separates the two careers in the. u.s. president tax reform to take a job but will be rocket fuel rocket fuel for the american jobs. these are sick puppy. president trump also tweeted that major new sanctions will be imposed wednesday north korea suddenly broken over two month pause in weapons testing and showed a significant bump in their capabilities five hundred kilometers to put that in pressed basically something likely to increase. russia and china have called for the maneuvers to be paul's 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 it looks like diplomacy may never be given a chance. daniel mcadams executive director at ron paul institute told us the latest threats against north korea will do nothing to resolve the crisis the idea of

kicking north korea out of the un the un is a forum for diplomacy a forum that was designed to help of boyd war it's the same agenda as matter of fact word for word war happens it'll be north korea's call for happens it'll be that the united states has decided to attack north korea frankly i don't think that's going to happen but they're trying to ramp it up to the point to the very closest point to a war and i think that's a problem because it could lead to many mistakes if the u.s. were successful force in china to cut off all oil in north korea what would happen in north korean civilians would freeze to death in the winter that's what would happen that shows the inhumanity of u.s. sanctions toward north korea's not to say the north korean government is saints but they're not the ones that are going to suffer it's the north korean people that suffer under sanctions. than use a congressional committee in the u.s. has revoked america's accreditation on capitol hill received the following letter

informing us of that decision. the executive committee of the congressional radio and television correspondents galleries exercises with or is he to withdraw the news credentials to feel it to a book this action was taken in response to the registration of the o.t. network as a foreign agent please return your credentials to the senate so much and 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 artie is going to be denied access to reporting on events on capitol hill now this comes after r.t. 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 nine hundred 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 all right it's there in chief to do the same one on one has given a reaction as well to the withdrawal of all of the americas a quote attention to all the filth freshens defenders of 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 plan to choose a legal and media analyst told us what he thinks is behind the latest action against the america. here's the interesting aspect from the state department in their read heather nauert in october said in the fact that under u.s. law registration is simply triggered one an entity or an individual engages in political activity where the united states tell someone or register q. to register as a foreign agent. the does it impact at all upon the ability of them to report news and information just to have them write history x. is simple does that well if it's as simple as that why must you according to this return your credentials to the senate sergeant at arms and be gone now come on you have got to be kidding this b.b.c.

get one of these does algis zero or c.c.t.v. or whoever i mean do those individuals and if they don't get one why are they considered a foreign agent and the irony the irony the unmitigated specific irony that archie receives this letter basically saying turn in your badge mr foreign agent be gone and also hear somebody from the state department say oh no no no that's that's ok here's the left hand here's the right hand and neither of them know how to speak to each other this is tragic. the bosnian croat military commander slow but i died off taking poison at the war crimes court in the hague as the verdict was being read out at an appeals hearing he unexpectedly produced a small bottle and drank from it right in front of the judge.

still police don't know. order. 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 when this the play act produced a small bottle from his jacket said that he was not a war criminal and drank from a three 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 had 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 hundred on 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. since the hague tribunal was created back in ninety three a total of one hundred sixty one people have been indicted for war crimes in the former yugoslavia a majority of those defendants ninety four were serbs the tribunal has been widely criticized for the way hearings are conducted the trial drag on for years even decades that means key leaders including the former president slobodan milosevic died in detention before verdicts were reached in cases where people were acquitted . of political pressure political analyst john bosnich believes the purpose of the court was to set nations against one another the purpose of the court was to set these three brother nations against each other in perpetuity so that you could divide and conquer the region general probably was convicted had no chance of

winning his appeal. i think he realized that it was a death sentence the man was in his seventy's twenty years imprisonment meant a death sentence in effect i'd like to point out that this man was primarily convicted for blowing up a bridge and the bridge has since been reconstructed and if you went to the site you'd never know the difference but the same general and the muslim generals in the area ethnically cleansed one hundred percent of the serbs in that region and nobody was convicted for that crime so if you look at the three sides in the war. the grounds for conviction were were never fair. other controversial what helmets group is again causing divisions of the reporters without borders the swiss press club to cancel a conference critical of the syrian activists request was rejected by the head of the organization. censorship. you were

a challenge in our support for this conference were the name of our organization appearing on the list of media members return only dissociated ourselves from this event and do not wish to be associated with the conference we invite you to abandon this project which will damage the image of this race press club it was very surprising and very disappointing to see the journalist association asking for the kind of censorship that was my first reaction and so i decided to reply writing your letter and asking them to respect the freedom of the speech and to shun ati's what up guys if they conducted his own investigation into the white helmets on the ground in syria has more details on what caused that split between the journalist organizations. you can't talk about that imagine what will happen to your reputation ted the journalists how far the profession has fallen

when one of its biggest unions tries to censor a simple discussion we are accustomed to to get the pressures from everywhere in the world and mainly from dictatorial. dictatorial countries but what which was very surprising was due to gets such pressures from a dramatist association so it's the first time in the twenty years of do existence of this response that we receive such demons from a journalist association which is supposed to support to to support the press freedom so far almost everything you've been told about the white helmets is stuff from their press releases and video productions not from locals or civilians no know from white helmet sponsors and p.r. agents that's great and all but let's against here from the people they say they're

saving shows them helping the people but they only help rebel fighters they really to those close to them the last thing they cared about is civilians have to sit and whenever food aid was brought into the white helmets and rebels were taken after themselves to give us nothing not even bread and here to us what there were many people buried alive would come to save their own and if they found civilians they might help and they might not know that's a huge surprise what a shocker the white helmets aren't perfect who would have thought they were just regular people with their own shortcomings their own agenda just like everyone else so why on earth would reporters without borders want to censor this absolutely obvious fact. calling it russian propaganda i think it was the topic which was

this disturbing. disguise i'm now having described. as an. organisation that cannot admit they were wrong and yes they didn't even admit to here are the people who are criticizing the white tournaments has it was a taboo to speak about them that's impossible for a serious journalist or simply honest person to admit such such abuse for whatever reason it is taboo no one in the mainstream media or in western governments says anything remotely critical of the white helmets you remember ever hearing anything unflattering. reporters without borders has all but taken sides let's not forget in two thousand and sixteen they named a syrian rebel activist and the journalist of the year is taunting syrian

conscripts buried under rubble he says he wants them to taste a slow death a swiss press club has made a point not to judge for me cannot see myself in the mirror or if i am big censorship or deciding you have the right to speak you have not the right to speak because you are representing the bab the supposed bad part and it is paid off they've received an outpouring of support internationally and they vow to continue doing what they do irregardless of pressure i also received many people criticizing russia. for garry kasparov for. this is no insult are who who are criticizing criticizing russia so i am open to everybody

who do people who are supporting russia and nobody criticizing goods i think the goal or for where we are not politically correct. and when a pendant journalist furnace have been really took part in the white helmets panel which reporters without borders wanted canceled we got her comments just a little early. propaganda put the white helmet up on to this extraordinary pedestal. is produced by their p.r. agencies by the countries that are funding them that are also fundamental restore goodness ations in syria. and by their own by their own proclamation of glory and humanity which is denali by the syrian people who have come into contact with the white house mix describe themselves as nonsectarian impartial apolitical organization they cannot make that claim when they are consistently lobbying both

politically and for military escalation inside syria. and other cryptocurrency because reach the record high of eleven thousand dollars on wednesday is values been soaring a staggering thirteen hundred percent just since the start of this year while colleague neil harvey discussed the risks of investing in crypto currency is 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 having the house model appreciate so people are dogging in because the process rausing but that's one of the definitions of a bubble because it's 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 point 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 solar and fly a hyper inflationary the u.s. still is maintaining its value it would be the right inflation right running about two percent per annum. corn is running at the moment it consumes is today's increase ten percent in one guy now that is in one week that means it will double in two weeks if it keeps up a little before 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 the transaction is 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 madman 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 just let a salesman bit twenty year ago to buy a house you could have gotten on a 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 series 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 all said to 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 because it because they see that the fia 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 stands full of the big quite how we survive well joe stiglitz 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 bit god 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 it's a there are hundreds of thousands of transactions now a day hundred thousand merchants accept it going to the real estate market being up ended by pick on you can buy high end properties went bad coin yachts and. properties and things of this nature are 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 centralised 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 short on 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 an easy get to buy those things now because if you wipe ten weeks you can botch washes many or three charms as many so it's a process to stabilise 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 a hundred thousand dollars and then stay there if you get to the stage where the

only returns you're getting out of big corn manning 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 dimon is literally the. 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 aren't doing it so we have to quit to do it about celeb loans for
