it was. we believe the you know we quickly see you next see some of the views that torture the refugees and amnesty international points the finger at e.u. countries over the plight of the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital. and a deadly explosion at a major gas hob in austria puts europe on high alert with prices soaring and a state of emergency declared in italy. you know we. might exactly what is going on and have chills and to see. this video was shot from

a sea water search and rescue vessel the pictures show migrants being whipped with a rope. pictures of this boat seen in the video were reviewed by amnesty international they found it was the same boat donated by italy back in april it was handed over to the libyan coast guard in a ceremony attended by the italian interior minister. amnesties research sais that libyan coast guards are working closely with people traffickers that comes from testimonies of fifteen refugees and the company. may become with the smugglers who pay them a three they don't come by car to come by boat we're on the last boat when we departed the speedboat stopped us it was the libyan coast guard and they asked us

from which man do you come we told them mohammed. and they said ok go in libya it's either in prison or read to leave you cannot go back you cannot turn around. last week the european commission issued a report on the programs in libya that document stressed the need to shut down smuggling and human trafficking operations in the country. r.t. asked several institutions to comment on the allegations against governments we received this reply from the deputy spokesman for the un secretary-general he expressed concern over the situation in libya and stressed the need for the proper resettlement of my quince professor of international relations lisle. told us the e.u. countries have a responsibility to protect migrants in libya because you're getting a number of reports from credible sources including u.n. agencies that there are systematic abuses that there is and and i think it's clear

that there are italy has to do and the european union has to say well we're not going to send these people back to libya and we're going to find some way to give them a safe haven whether they're whether or not there are economic migrants or refugees to try to help with the settlement isn't it is not right their country's major powers. to stabilize the situation and then later on complain that. there are mass migration movements from war and other difficulties so the whole world will have to team together first of all not to. force and indiscriminate matter nine are already ill advised ways and to make sure that people. jog opportunities etc because a lot of people i mean the enormous crist's to cause the military and so many deaths that happen and they want to be leading in less situations very dire. the west bank city of bethlehem has been thrown into turmoil since donald trump's not

spent last week that he was recognizing to as israel's capital according to the palestinian child for ministry four people have been killed and almost two thousand injured in six days of clashes more protests are up to throughout tuesday local journalists tend count three reports from gaza tensions is increasing on the buffer zone nothing knows each year yet we can see and hear we just right now i know i know life but it's our shot just right now a palestinian kid got shot just right now in a live bullets and days release palestinians are still protesting the demonstrations and protests are so going in gaza strip west bank and bet left him for that sixth day today and palestinians have been protesting a sense a. thursday night we can also see here tear gas pumps that israelis are throwing to

use tear gas bombs that are filling the place palestinians have been demonstrating and protesting in guys bank and everyone is being asked and palestinians are expressing their anger everywhere. meanwhile the israeli army says it has bombarded hamas post in gaza in retaliation for a rocket launch towards israel locals described what happened. when it's. the best. you can still hear. i think trump was wrong this time he made

a mess with israelis all know that jerusalem is our capital we don't need him to say that protest against france may have also been seen in european countries where activists came out on the street with palestinian flags artie's in europe correspondent peter reports from one such demonstration the german interior minister called seems appropriate demonstrations across over the weekend disgraceful well that was because there were some scenes where israeli flags were burnt and other. accusations of anti semitism it's a very different situation on monday evening a few hundred people gathered here outside of the german capital's main train station but speaking to people here they've said that their message hasn't changed they're still raging against donald trump's decision to move. the u.s. embassy to jerusalem to accept jerusalem as the capital of israel and they say that accusations that the protests have been anti semitic well they're just unfounded.

we are semites ourselves and we were expelled so we are also against anti semitism and accusing us of that is just nonsense. all those people be under semitic most of them are ups. seven the decision to move the embassy is unjust and tragic donald trump should think of better things to do you can just back one side in this case you have to see both sides and i'm. going to say to the world only that we want to resign. to become the capital city of a palestinian nation if anyone things that we won't wrong. peace we want peace. but this demonstration had originally been planned to be held outside of the us embassy however right there right now actually seeing the lighting of the largest hanukkah menorah in europe certainly seemed wice to move the demonstration

here in the reasons is that the tensions are very high we have seen violence at demonstrations across the world germany of course making sure they don't want to see that it's all here in berlin but there has been strong words from european politicians and leaders as well and as we're seeing this is the fourth day of demonstrations here in berlin demonstrations from palestinians abroad and those who support them going anywhere here in europe despite the strong objections the chump's decision both in the arab world and beyond the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. insists the move will bring peace to the region. looks into that claim u.s. leaders seem to believe that if you repeat something over and over again it becomes the truth take a listen to nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the united nations defending trump's recent jerusalem move which caused violence and chaos throughout the region we are living in the reality that jerusalem is the capital of israel clearly disagree fifteen this is you. this is a regrettable decision is the most the capital of israel. this decision gates of.

it's the right thing to do. it is absolutely the right thing to do jerusalem is the capital of israel these decisions are helpful to the prospects for peace in the region the announcement the potential to send spec courts to even darker shines we are living in the reality that jerusalem is the capital of israel when both parties recognize reality. peace comes repeating montrose happens to be a thing in washington d.c. especially when it comes to controversial foreign policy decisions take a listen to the no regime change just a no fly zone montra that we heard regarding the libyan intervention the security council has responded to the libyan people's cry for help this council's purpose is clear to protect innocent civilians the task that i assigned our

forces. to protect the libyan people from immediate danger broadening our military mission to include regime change would be a mistake pretty soon nato cruise missiles were flying in order to back up fighters armed by western countries then eventually the country's leader moammar gadhafi was brutally executed here's hillary clinton retelling her version of the events came we saw he died there and then there was that whole weapons of mass destruction routine performed at the united nations by calling powell even brought props less than a teaspoon full of dry anthrax in our shut down the united states senate in the fall of two thousand and one iraq declared eighty five hundred liters of anthrax we have no ambition in iraq except to remove a threat so the weapons of mass destruction weren't actually there and now iraq was

left in shambles the main reason we went and it's a time was we thought he had weapons of mass destruction turns out he didn't well bush was forced to admit that he was wrong about iraq but nikki haley is certain there will be no retractions about jerusalem it will move the peace process forward i'll come back and tell you i told you so now if any that peace nikki haley is promising ever shows up it's certainly going to make people across the globe quite delighted but until then it looks like simply saying things doesn't make them so caleb oppen r.t. new york. one person has died and more than a dozen people have been injured outright gas explosion in austria as you can see the ball sent huge flames billowing into the sky far has not been protests the site is a main to natural gas distribution hub of the n. austrian pipelines are likely to be shut down for days causing a major supply shortfall. bokeh has the details this is an explosion at the bound

austin gas plant it's an australian gas facility and it is a major. for importing gas into europe it supplies a whole host of european countries including germany france italy slovenia and croatia so the repercussions of the explosion have been quite far reaching italy has been the worst affected they're having to declare a national emergency as a result because rome now has a serious supply shortage and market prices for gas have more than doubled elsewhere in europe the explosion is exacerbating existing energy supply issues for example here in the u.k. on top of that explosion the most important north sea gas in order to repair a crack so that's paralyzed travelers at this moment though that price increase could be passed on to consumers which would be at this time of year a very bitter pill for people to have to swallow so this perfect storm of just

three to show you how vulnerable the energy supply to europe can be at a time like this now the issue with the austrian facility is that it happened to be the main entry point for russian gas in two year russian gas accounts for about a all of the overall gas supplies to the continent and there had been a new pipeline in the pipeline so to say the nord stream to that was meant to create another way for russian gas to get to germany and the rest of europe but that project has been put on ice due to mainly political obstacles some european countries are all for it others are worried that it would allow more scope to wield too much power over the rest of europe and the sanctions against russia have made it very difficult for anyone to invest in the project meanwhile u.s. officials have warned of so-called russian monopoly on natural gas supplies in

europe after hearing in congress assistant secretary of state was matilde singled out the north stream to. klein which is currently under construction between russia and germany just a point to a nor'easter and to you this is a project that would concentrate seventy five percent of the russian gas to europe in the one pipeline so it's not in europe's interests it's not in our interests it's also a political rather than a commercial undertaking and i think it's important to be crystal clear about that because north to would go through danish waters this is a potentially significant political and legal stumbling block that could really slow progress on the pipeline it's a positive development that we applaud and we've really closely with the danes the credit goes to denmark for moving in this direction but i think it's consistent with european or just purely i just wish we could get germans and other large e.u. member states to see the same way keith boy phil research fellow at the center for political studies tell us the u.s. wants to gain a larger share of the european gas market but u.s.

producers are looking to their own bottom line and that they would like to you know export. liquefied natural gas to europe because they see a commercial opportunity there so you could argue that strategic. sort of view about the future of gas supply in europe are also. commercial incentive as well or but they're certainly look looking to increase their exports of liquefied natural gas and looking at their fracking capacity they're wanting to export it was only until recently that they were importing natural gas now all those ports have been switched to exporting so they're looking across the world including europe to export that gas that they're producing in the states the pentagon has been accused of easing track of thousands of its own

soldiers stationed abroad that story and will still to come. reclined is a messaging app first store of value second and a medium of exchange third as a messaging app this is the history of economics the history of money the history of trade the history of the evolution of the d.n.a. in our cells of our bodies suggest that bitcoin will be a lot higher because we as a species want to connect and it's monetization of our unconscious it's the monetization of our collective unconscious. seemed wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any new world that is yet to shape

out these days comes to advocate and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to the program has lost the u.s. state department for clarification on a recent decision to remove the charles press credentials in congress samir khan how the story this all comes after r.t. america was forced to register as a foreign agent dead stripped of their capitol hill press credentials only after russia was accused of meddling in the u.s. presidential election but before that happened heather nauert said that registration would not at all affect her ability to report so that clearly it was the case well i asked the state department about this but i didn't exactly get an

answer but when our t. was forced to register as a foreign agent and you said that it would inhibit our ability to report when the united states tells someone to register under a foreign agent requirement we don't see impacts or affect the ability of them to report. news and information we just have the register it's a simple it's. over just a couple weeks ago our press credentials were revoked so doesn't this contradict your earlier statement i think i think press credentials may have been revoked by congress and not necessarily the members of congress but rather the association of reporters that handles who gets to come in and cover congress after basically directing my question to congress she played the russian card a representative of the russian government in fact the fact that you're here as a representative of the russian government is

a perfect example of how we do not not restrict any type of freedom of the press they can get russian news if you will after washington's measures of russia actually designated several media outlets funded by the us government as foreign agents but it seems after this whole exchange that the state department is unwilling to keep its word and is now trying to just shift blame to avoid taking responsibility i mean during the legal analyst lionel gave us his reaction to the statement from heaven that it. what does that mean well it wasn't necessarily revoked by congress or members of congress but the association selected by the members of congress to determine who covers congress what is this is doublespeak this is circular this nonsense and by the way did my eyes deceive me when ms nauert was speaking she kept doing this

a lot well when you do the new air quotes new you know that russia new you do it when you do your new she did this a lot i don't know if this is a secret signal that they use but this is the most read take the atlas kill with this nonsense i've ever heard of my life you know exactly what the question was why did you revoke our press credentials why that was the question russia t.v. our t.v. was yanked because it's russian whether you're russian own eighty percent were there russian media it's that teacher will last that. president trump has unveiled to congress how many u.s. troops are stationed abroad and he by annual white house reporter admitted some key figures in the paragraphs talking about afghanistan iraq and syria not a single number was given troops numbers were disclosed for jordan and lebanon he

wanted to come as a surprise given that the u.s. defense secretary apparently revealed them himself a few months ago we have approached me eleven thousand troops in afghanistan and that is seen in our edition of will refer to thousand u.s. troops arrive in now and in the coming months to extend nato to advisory effort to afghan troops that are currently without. the number for iraq is fifty two hundred and the number for serious shootouts when the wind has provided figures on troop involvement to pull out six months ago is somewhat surprised number of u.s. lawmakers had no idea that american soldiers were stationed in asia former u.s. congressman ron paul told us the level of transparency and surprising but i didn't know there was a thousand troops in niger you heard senator graham there he didn't know we had a thousand troops in the air did you know i didn't know that well i'm fortunately we don't get like surprises it's sort of the routine especially with the new

administration because the president has stated that he wants to keep everything under his best under his vest because he doesn't want people to know and he believes that's proper policy but it's not good good law because the constitution says he's not a lot of send troops around the world without the people in the congress knowing about it is because it's very difficult especially if they say well this is secret we can't let the people know we can't let the enemy know where our troops are so they put the american people in the category of the enemy because we're not a lot of no and so it's really a government out of control but it's what's the what this reflects is a foreign policy that there are institute ron paul institute disagrees with we don't think it's in our interest we don't think it's an interest of our security and we don't believe this brings peace and we don't bring it prof prosperity so we have practical reasons and legal reasons why we don't think these troops should be over see and if there is any of them overseas we should know exactly where they are

because who knows they may be shooting off guns and bombs and drones and getting ourselves into a mess that we don't want to be in and according to a report by the u.s. military general stalls and stripes as many as forty four thousand american troops stationed across the world and tracked by the pentagon around three hundred thousand u.s. personnel out side america in. hundred and fifty countries we've requested comment from the department of defense and it's said that some of us now i mean dede mont is having and cation as they may for example be it c. adding that its data center may not accurately reflect the current totals ron paul again says the defense department's explanation just won't do that's their excuse but that should not happen and in a republic i mean people are supposed to know what's going on the people who are supposed to speak out the people are supposed to tell their members of congress when we should get involved in hostilities and once again it's

a theory of what our responsibilities are around the world most every country in the world is imperfect including ours but our immediate goal should be to improve ourselves and not pretend that we can tell other people how to live and who should run their countries even though there are plenty of problems around but i don't think other people like us to take this role of secretly putting troops around the world and interfering in saying well we're we're going to improve your governments and we're going to tell you what to do if you don't do what we want we're going to put sanctions on you. you can find us all over social media on facebook twitter on da website about salting dot com i'll be back at the top of the hour with more stories so stay with us.

when the whole make its manufacture consent to step up to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final clearing go around listen to the one percent. nine week old middle of the room signal. to loop around anymore you need. to.

. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle trust in the mainstream media is an all time low but no one should be surprised in the media has itself to blame for this sad state of affairs is a self-inflicted wound and actually a conscious business model the media no longer has an interest in reporting news media today propagates ideology. crosstalk in the state of the media i'm joined by my guest eric alterman in new

york he is a sunni distinguished professor of english and journalism at brooklyn college as well as the liberal media columnist for the nation also in new york we have lionel he is a legal analyst and a news decoder at lionel media dot com and implement we cross to patrick and he is a journalist writer and founder of the news website twenty first century wired dot com all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it let me go to lionel first in new york i'm not going to list all of the mistakes the mainstream media has made over the last few months because that would take up the entire program and then some suffice to say lionel i think it's quite evident that the new york times the washington post c.n.n. m.s.m. the m s n b c and other news organizations they're making mistakes because they have a blind hatred for donald trump their blind hatred is throwing journalistic practices and principles out the window and this is damaging the information sphere in the

united states and i would say the political process as well go ahead lionel. i would venture to say is an admixture of trump derangement syndrome in full bloom it's negligence it's malfeasance and it also is that amazing isn't it amazing and shocking perhaps that none of these mistakes ever in europe to the benefit of trump or anybody else or they never deal with hillary clinton or those of the so-called left and progressive left or whatever it's always a unit directional mistake there is never and by by the.
