just the latest pressure being applied by washington. plus. the. police. during the war and. reporters about. the white helmets. by the. very.

very wealthy. international in moscow we have. a u.s. congressional committee has been. reporting on capitol hill by revoking their accreditation and. that is despite assurances from the u.s. state department the status would not stand in the way of our reporting is the letter . received from congress. 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 o.t. network as a foreign agent please return your credentials to the senate so much and while 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 our two 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 as simple as that but 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 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 you tube 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 our editor in chief margarita simonyan has also reacted to the latest push by washington in the way of our journalistic work 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 plan to choose. legal and media analyst lionel has questioned washington's a selective approach to giving certain access to so it john. 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 sick

irony that a large he receives this letter basically say turning your back mr foreign agent we 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 is the right hand and neither of them know how to speak to each other this is tragic. a form of corroboration general who fought in bosnia has died after taking poison at a yugoslav war war crimes tribunal at the hague as the verdict was being read out an appeal hearing he unexpectedly produced a small bottle and drank from it right in front of the judge for them rather. than on the left. still police precinct don't. let. them look. we're all local.

i have taken poison. so put on the project was a general of croatian forces during the yugoslav wars he was convicted of war crimes and sentenced to twenty years before the war probably of course a theatre film director and writer a political analyst john bolton which is actually skeptical of the entire hague process. when we talk about the whole war itself the united states government tried to force the croats and the muslims to become allies of course they did not want to be allies they fought each other but whenever the muslims and the croats forty chair their america sided with the muslims and you'll see that this croatian general is one of the victims of america's policy of muslims first everybody else later nobody got a fair trial neither the serbs nor the croats nor the muslims. and some people took their lives into their own hands rather than become. a puppet players in

a play scripted directed and run from washington so they could cut this region up and colonize it. controversial white helmets group is again causing divisions that's off to reporters without borders the swiss press club to console the conference critical of the syrian activists the request was rejected by the head of the organization as modern day censorship. you were challenging our support for this conference we did name of our nation appearing on the list of media members return only dissociate ourselves from disciplined and do not wish to be associated with the conference we invite you to abandon this project which will damage the image of the space press club it was very surprising and very disappointing to see the journalist association for the kind of censorship that was my first reaction and so i decided to reply writing and

asking them to respect the the freedom of disputes and to shun. the correspondent who previously conducted his own investigation into the wide helmets on the ground in syria as more details on what caused the split between the journalist organizations. you can't talk about that imagine what will happen to your reputation said the journalist 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 original nerdiest 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 at least hear from the people they say they're saving shows them helping the people but they only help the 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 he to us what there were many people buried alive helmets would come to save their own and if they found civilians killed 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 this disguise now having described. as an independent organisation they cannot admit they were wrong and yes they didn't even admit to here are the people who are criticizing the white term it's has it was a taboo to speak about that that's impossible for a serious journalist or simply a. person to admit such so it should be of your own 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 he 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 i cannot see myself in the mirror or if i am good big censorship or deciding you have the right to speak you have not the right to speak because you are representing the 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 from gary kasparov for the. russia so i am open to everybody people who are supporting. criticizing i think. we are not politically correct. a bit crypto currency reached a record high of eleven thousand dollars per token on wednesday at the start of the year a single token it was worth a thousand dollars here's a quick reminder of how the virtual currency works.

and. going. to. bed cohen has been controversial for some years now my colleague neil harvey discussed the risks and the appeal of investing in crypto currency used with. an economics professor steve keen. 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 is 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 coin you've got the dollar that is crashing in a hyperinflationary crash against bitcoin you're still is maintaining its value of 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 day 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 tomsic cetera et cetera it's like the old chessboard that simply concave on going and i disagree the people using it to transactional this is the floor it's a brilliant why you can green crossing a value it's a store of value sure at the moment but you'd be

a madman to use that transactions you'd be a fool to buy anything and i'm hearing people refer to the now as not crypto currencies but critz currencies 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 soon 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 bitcoin because they see that the fia bubble is bursting and again the u.s. dollar is collapsing against big point this is a paradigm shift isn't there a really strong argument that it's being you speculatively is a store of value but actually where can you actually use a bit going isn't to 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 accepted. going to the real estate markets being

up ended by bit going you can buy high end of properties went bitcoin but again the timeline here has to be considered the travel from being a store of value to a means of exchange is going to take another few years because 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 a 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 that i think the process to fall dramatically 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 mother load 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 you know peeing in his pants at this point because

you know he's going to be out of a job in five years we don't need the jamie diamond of the world ripping us off we don't need wells fargo stealing money out of accounts we don't really just 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 big going to do it and you can learn a lot more about this so much in popularity of bitcoin the latest a boom bust episode here all day today you can watch at the right now online at odds he's gone cold. but we have the caribbean who are who respect the environment who protect the environment who respect the rule of law being punished for it because the one doing . the country doesn't have the rights or

responsibility to protect its citizens and what have we can determine but what we see is the actions that you would take. in your country. on all countries in the caribbean in negative with. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. wanted. to go right to be press this is what before three in the morning people. interested always in the water. sitting.

here in moscow following north korea's latest missile test the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. to warn the leadership in pyongyang it would be quote utterly destroyed in the in the case of a war the threat came into motion see session of the security council the countries were discussing solutions to the korean crisis. dictator of north korea made a choice yesterday that brings the world closer to war not farther from it and if four comes make no mistake the north korean regime will be utterly destroy those that would use that is difficult to move towards any settlement as long as north korea feels that its security is threatened in the current situation urging the cooling 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 north korea claims its new intercontinental ballistic missile can hit targets anywhere on the u.s.

mainland according to both north korean claims on south korean estimates younglings latest missile recent altitude of four and a half thousand kilometers that is ten times higher than the orbit of the international space station experts say if directed differently at the missile could reach both washington and europe u.s. president donald trump denounced the north korean launch and he later broke off a speech on tax reform to take a job with kim jong il it will be rocket fuel. of the it was a little rocket man rocket fuel for the american people because it would be is a sick copy of president trump also tweeted that he had discussed the launch with china's president adding that quote major new sanctions will be imposed on north korea a great great ulick from the korea policy institute thinks the more pressure is put

on north korea the more convinced pyongyang becomes of the necessity of having nuclear weapons. if the united states are truly concerned about north korea's nuclear program it would engage in dialogue that's the only way to resolve the problem and north korea said many many times i repeat we are not willing to give up the nuclear program unless the united states rough its policy i think like a reasonable request to me 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 them so they have 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. the u.s. supreme court has voiced concern over the government's surveillance policy it's reviewing a case in which a criminal was convicted using cell phone data obtained without a warrant at the case in question involves timothy caputo who is appealing he was

convicted on multiple counts of robbery and is now serving a one hundred sixteen year prison sentence in court the f.b.i. used cell phone location data as evidence the agency had gathered this data over a four month period but without a warrant some o'barry to this kind of surveillance violates the fourth amendment which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures lawyer douglas mcnabb says the f.b.i. is tracking a cop and awful for months was excessive. issue in this particular case is that it was data generated over one hundred twenty seven days of a very long time and so mr carpenter is arguing that because of that extended period of time that the government should have had a warrant mr carpenter proposed that the government could access the data could get that data from the cell carrier without having to have

a warrant for up to twenty four hours but beyond that then they would be required to get a warrant rather than just saying that the government can act to get the information without a warrant. over any period of time that they want if it's one hundred twenty seven days in this case what would prevent it from being two hundred seventy five days in the next one or two and a half years and the next case rather than obtain a warrant the f.b.i. requested the cell data under the nineteen eighty six stored communications act you can use this to force third party service providers to give out customer information all that has to do is claim that the information in question is relevant to a case former f.b.i. agent coleen rowley says the government thinks it has a right to snow. this is been going on for some number of years where the f.b.i. and the government thought that they were allowed to track cell phones without

showing probable cause the so-called war on terror has allowed under executive you know commander in chief powers in wartime the government then has decided that they can obtain a lot of these records under that basis if they existed that it is constitutional to track cell phones it will open the door wider and it will open the door also to even changing the whole law about the expectation of privacy. in less than a week on december the fifth the international olympic committee will rule on whether to allow russian athletes to compete in next year's winter olympics in south korea but russia is already receiving support from international sporting associations. and a ballplayer federations along with sporting individuals have publicly voiced their support saying that russia should be allowed to compete for the biggest response

readings and salutation. so today show host matt lauer and mr prairie home companion himself garrison keillor and all 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 while on the job working to protect the united states of america in their letter to and in 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 are just as much as a problem for women working the night shift cleaning offices as it is for diplomats . you know from the navy's tailhook scandal in one nine hundred ninety one to the marines united social media scandal last spring i think it's about time the

national security state and the military industrial complex that feeds it finally be forced to answer for its sexually abusive past and present so that we can better protect the future of women in service of our country now let's start watching the hawks. that i got. when. we. were on the watch of the hawks i say well that and that's happened a while and so it's out of the. the national security state. has lot of harassment

of abuse of women working there are you shocked by these claims no serious or very again and again and again as i am everything you just builds up and i have to talk about it or wall go crazy but this is one of those things that just infuriates me this this is what puts us at risk this is the kind of stuff this is the exact same kind of garbage that put us at risk in our nation's military at risk and kept good people from being in the military when we decided the don't ask don't tell was the problem and we do all this we pushed things to the side there was many rape and sexual harassment problem as you said since tailhook i was a teenager in the ninety's and i have to tell you watching the tailhook scandal is why i was.
