joining us from this hour welcome to moscow and to r.t. international my names you know. your company we begin with breaking news from the u.s. where lawmakers have voted to scrap so-called net neutrality which could significantly alter the web experience for millions of people it with internet providers to charge extra to prioritize their traffic effectively creating a slow lane for smaller websites well here's a breakdown of how it actually all works we access the web through internet service providers at the moment companies have to treat all online traffic equally but the u.s. federal communications commission say that's preventing websites from investing trillions of dollars in their services with net neutrality regulations gone. oh yes peas will

be free to charge a premium to prioritize certain ups and services well going through its more is your account she's live in the us couple or so we were tell us more about the vote how it unfolded well the f.c.c. is latest decision will repeal obama's net neutrality regulations that were passed in two thousand and fifteen and the f.c.c. commissioner had some words of dissent from this rash decision to roll back net neutrality rules i dissent from the corrupt process that has brought us to this point as a result of today's misguided action our broadband providers will get extraordinary new powers. they will have the power to block websites the power to throttle services and the power to censor online content now our broadband providers will tell you they will never do these things they say just trust us. but know this

they have the technical delivery and business incentive to discriminate and manipulate your internet traffic but with all the backlash this could end up going to court and congress and they also have the power to act but it's a partisan issue so we don't know how that will go but i hope shouldn't also be lost because they're not without allies thirty nine senators sent a letter to the f.c.c. expressing their discontent and representative keith ellison and representative maxine waters are also on their side but i spoke to protesters about this yesterday so let's check out what they have to say. ok five kids you see what do i know you do really that's the big problem here it's these giant ice p.c. to think that they have they should have all the advantage and all the decisions to make up about what should be content on the internet and it should be a public utility and especially in the twenty first century when you have a lot of communication skills that need to be improved and taught in schools the

internet is essential for finding a job having a portfolio doing anything you can to get information. every day. hey did you see we want to thank you for you to do part of democracy to have equal communication people access to communication not just led by the privileged and the super rich have every advantage in a so called democracy this is going to show that a lot of small businesses small websites and prevent. voices heard and read me from here in the small voice but it's also still unclear how this will affect web surfing in general. spirit can live from washington d.c. on the thank you very much. ok now to the russian president and you will q. and a from earlier in the day thursday a lot of close to four hours of nonstop and pretty diverse questions from the press

our correspondent was there for us the things that particularly stude out for me this time is that the share of questions that you might want to call challenging for white america about corruption about the silencing of political opponents in russia was perhaps a bit larger this time then previously he was indeed grilled about the lack of competition in russian politics and one question came from perhaps his direct opponent a person who wants to become a presidential candidate in russia in twenty train a subject that's a major issue for those who want to represent the norm since the globalization they have to short lived under this rule of gender but a real one why visiting. maybe the government is frightened of facts competition. the opposition should present a program of action that is clear to the public do you want someone with the

intentions of a coup d'etat we've seen this already and if you want to list the returns i'm sure that the overwhelming majority of citizens don't want it and more not let it happen . i mentioned corruption previously and in fact that is one of the things the current russian system of the government is often blamed for and yes a few times corruption was brought up and said that he's not satisfied with what's gone on he was asked specifically about corruption in law enforcement agencies the russian president says that people are being charged and there are investigations some people are being put in prison including government officials but he complained that new people come and things don't change but here's what he suggested in this particular sphere. it's not a secret but it's a tough question and i can't say that i'm satisfied with how this work is being

done one solution i can think of where we have an army before we have rotation and someone service for three or five years in one place and then transferred somewhere else so maybe it makes sense to me going to is something like that in law enforcement. speaking of us related questions there was one about the ways to sort out the north korean crisis and vladimir putin said a few very important things about that take a listen do you think that cooperation on north korea could warm up u.s. russia relations. tediously would it be that you were very interesting people have you noticed that your congressman senators who were. shirts you seem to be challenging they lump last year that with north korea and iran in the same time they've been you wish there were a little to ask our stewards over iran nuclear deal and the north korean crisis what you want to do what is wrong with you. then the russian president went back to

russia stance which has remained the same for quite a while that is calling on all sides to were framed from hostile actions i think this indeed sums up the highlights. events for everything else you can go to our website and you tube channel all their questions and answers by vladimir putin are available there. and of course president putin give answers to some of the major issues events that shaped twenty seven dean including allegations of collusion with donald trump on the bottom of team russia from the winter olympics we discussed his answers with on lists. how would you explain to americans the sheer number of contacts between the trump camp and your government. it was all made up by the people in opposition to in order to illegitimacy to his work that was too but i can honestly say i find it

strange it was made to feel most of them here like they had no knowledge this would damage the country. and the police the ability of head of state to discipline you mean is that they did not respect the voters cast their ballots. trumps victory is entirely blame the ball threw a fit a number of well known social and political trends and had nothing to do with russia so yes there was a deliberate kind of attempt to blame russia rather than to engage in any kind of internal reflection or discussion about what actually happened in the election and why it was that clinton didn't win and it's still going on. my colleagues and i have said that it's obvious that the scandal was inflated out of russia's domestic political calendar and no matter what anyone says we just know

that was the case but at the same time we shouldn't blame ourselves when you gave a reason for these accusations they're having a diva between cases of doping out that now there have been such cases in other countries but they're not surrounded by politicized so there's no doubt that there is a political motivation behind it it does seem that russia has been singled out that you know there's a lot of doping going on across and then pick sports and cross sports in general but it does seem that you know this word is state sponsored. it's been used in relation to russia to justify a ban on the whole team and on the russian flag and as today president putin said you know we bat a share of the guilt and i think that's quite interesting because it creates a different impression it's much less defensive and it's in a way it's. it creates

a better impression i think than saying no no no we're totally without any blame. moving on over a dozen palestinians have been injured in another round of clashes in the west bank israeli police used tear gas against crowds throwing stones there overnight on wednesday israeli forces say they also intercept the two rockets fired from gaza well this week marks the thirtieth anniversary of the hamas is the most organization seen five thousand people in gaza which they control celebrate israel closed its checkpoints in the region for indefinite period of time since last week when donald trump recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel mylan speech when israeli authorities and palestinian protesters has been occurring daily. it destroyed the v.c. destroyed like this for. the same month seventeen.

i think that's a give it give it give for the war to think of nothing is destroyed. i think doesn't know what is going on and i think he's just he doesn't understand the depth of the problem that he has just created. the leaders of muslim nations are calling on the international community to recognize east jerusalem as the palestinian capital the organization of islamic cooperation met in response to the u.s. president's heavily criticized move to recognize the ancient city as israel's

capital donald trump's the sit in on jerusalem scene authorities council. christmas markets and festivities in the israeli city of nasr it it's considered to be the childhood home of jesus christ and of vital importance to christians local media being quoting the city's mayor who sees america is the solution has taken away the joy of the celebration terms ruling on tourism affected his reputation globally as well as nuclear and explain. how much time do you think donald trump spent considering his move to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel a decision which doesn't directly affect anyone apart from the u.s. and its ally but has sent tremors across the world in ways that washington perhaps didn't see coming the u.s. loses its starring role in the middle east peace process in one swoop the president wait farewell to any hope that the united states can broker

a diplomatic solution in the holy land from now on america is unwarranted in the peace process. from now on american mediation between israel and palestine is out of the question this process is over. this the united states has chosen to lose its competency as mediator and disqualifies itself from play in a peaceful process the turkish president takes center stage in the regional resistance to both the us and israel an extraordinary all muslim nations summit is hosted in istanbul by president who wasted no time in calling trump's decision no and void and branding israel a state of terror. in this country israel. and terrorism is that what you're describing even more violence and

a possible third intifada from nine hundred eighty seven to ninety one and two thousand to two thousand and five the region saw two deadly palestinian uprisings against the israeli occupation known as the into father's now we could be on the verge of a third slaughter in the name of allah firstly how mass is called on the palestinian people to face the israeli occupation and adopt the blessid into father against that and the hateful and racist recognition of jerusalem and to america river. suzy's decision the palestinian people were involved in a continuous battle and into fodder against the israeli occupation and we are calling for it to be escalated in the west bank occupied jerusalem and the gaza strip against the occupation is one of them became a little over a week since trump announced his decision and the tide has turned to a tsunami of potential natural disaster no one was ready for i do think we will see

more of what we've been seeing so far and whether we're with the rock throwing and demonstrations and unfortunately something people being killed whether this results in a in a another what they call third intifada i don't think we have any way of knowing if there's anything that may happen it's it's somewhat counter intuitive i think it will be taken by most of the regional countries and also by the europeans as indication that they can't trust the united states they don't trust american leadership and it away in the in the guise of reasserting american leadership i think mr trump has actually made us more irrelevant to developments in the region and in some ways has lessened american influence in the region. in a move to garner international pressure on iran the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has shifted attention from tehran's nuclear deal to its ballistic missile program nikki haley produced pieces of a short range weapon during

a presentation claiming that it was made in a room and fired by hutu rebels in yemen a saudi arabia we have said multiple times that this is not just about the nuclear program this is about everything else they're doing because iran believes that they have been given a pass this evidence demonstrates a pattern of behavior in which iran says conflict and extremism in direct violation of u.n. security council resolutions this is from the last two attacks that we saw. coming from yemen and so this is very recent this is not all these just happen and so that is the reason why we have that concern the nuclear deal is not something that we're focused on now is focusing on the threat that iran is posing as we know it the u.s. so long with saudi arabia accuser run of supplying weapons to yemen's hooty rebels however the u.n. which has studied missile debris from the region could not confirm that they

originated from iran to run has repeatedly denied saying that such accusations are irresponsible and destructive nikki haley however continues to claim that iraq has violated u.n. resolutions if guilty it would be in violation of a u.n. arms embargoed monument and selling weapons to iran argues though that the evidence being presented by heli is fabricated. yes a lot of issues there let's try glue through some of them of course live to political analyst he was very welcome to the program if i can just start possibly with the timing of this why do you think the u.s. is trying to put more pressure it's it does very much seem like that on iran at this point. well of course as we know this timing is very sensitive first of all the united states is trying to create a pretext probably trying to create

a pretext to exit the way. another sensitive point is the fact that trump just declared the duras alem to be the capital of the israeli apartheid regime and probably he's trying to divvy it attention especially in the region from this particular issue. of course fabricating dishonest claims as usual. we've we've seen before that the united states of america this is not unprecedented event and we've seen the united states fabricate facts we can and i think the viewers remember the day when colin powell bush as advisor very certainly said that the saddam regime was actually manufacturing weapons of mass destruction and after the war the mass of war that was launched against iraq has proved to be a fabricated fact ok you mentioned the. other.

c.p.u. where you were talking of the nuclear deal or we do you think it's reckless to sabotage that is sensually well openly appearing to compile evidence to discredit iran you know especially as the un has been unable to point the finger at iran with enough evidence to correct. of course wall discrediting the nuclear deal is something very dangerous but again we see through evidence that iran has been abiding by the deal and it hasn't reached the deal or its spirit and this is what i am i think has repeatedly at least for nine times said and declared on the other hand the u.s. has been repeatedly breached the deal and has not been keeping its word and promises on the deal with iran and this is due to different reasons first of all back to the events taking place nowadays we know that because of its independence and unique nature iran rejects the israeli regime's presence and sees it as an

appetite regime just like the african operative regime back in africa and this is why the u.s. will not stop the hammer you want another reason is the fact that iran has been actually over and over again proven that it sticking to its heels at the time the u.s. has been discrediting itself and we've seen that during the you know the bush administration the obama administration they haven't kept their word and they have been actually breaching it all the time just briefly get your thoughts on another issue of this the logistics nikki haley has said that after these findings the u.s. will build a coalition against iran i put it you who would be in the coalition considering that trumps move to decertify beer run nuclear deal was met with criticism quite a lot all of that by america's allies in europe. yes that's true actually

you know there's not the first time the you ask creates a coalition against iran again we've seen this through the different regimes the different years and this has started since iran decided to stop being a u.s. . policy client since the one nine hundred seventy nine revolution since it decided to become independent as i said earlier and we've seen that the time when trump actually de credited the nuclear regime he was backlash to new only supporter was the israeli regime itself so slowly and now starting passes the u.s. is actually isolating itself and it's it's also isolating itself on the international and regional an arena because of its different intervention in the region because intervention in syria because of its support of the saudi regime against its war on yemen which is suffering starvation is and is that the brink of

famine actually so we see that the us is gradually isolating itself and will not have probably supporters in the start treaty like to us from tehran political analyst thank you. ok let's get a recap of our breaking news this bullet it is big news for instance if you do business online a vote in the u.s. has passed in favor of scrapping so-called net neutrality it will likely affect millions of people on the web experience as internet providers can no charge merely to prioritize traffic so it does offer up a lot of questions that we can discuss some of those live with katie understand katie is director for the net neutrality campaign hi katie is this the end of the open internet as we know what essentially equality for all web users what the internet was based upon is that go on. well see i mean today's vote is definitely

a step in the wrong direction so repeal the twenty fifteen order put in force these no child the protections. and it's sad to see but i hope that we'll see congress and the us repeal it and barney had five republicans come forward as well as democrats i think that hopefully it's something that we'll see a return in the next coming months ok might just get to the details of that in a moment but just tell us what does this actually mean for the average american just simplify it for. sure so over the past twenty years we've seen in iraq where all content is treated equally so it doesn't matter what you say you want to see it doesn't matter what video content you want to see the internet service provider treated exactly the same and they can't charge or per content producer more money to actually get in front of consumers so we see an explosion and a revolution a whole lot of a lot of industries including of course the telecommunications and and let's say even the news industry right so i think that we'll see is that companies internet

service providers can charge more for some companies to get in front of us much faster or completely block other companies that don't pay so for consumers what that could mean is that prices could go up as their favorite service providers are forced to pay more or some of their favorite websites. so essentially those who come afford to pay will get a better experience of those who will be told if they pay more it seems like who's going to benefit from the absence of net neutrality. internet service providers people that have their control and networks right now are the ones that are going to be able to charge more and just have more control and those billions the millions in our industry is will have even more control over what you and i see and you are mine the commission's decision as you mention it's not fine let me ultimately end up being decided in court congress can also choose to pursue a legislative solution. does nikki trouble to let supporters though realistically

have a chance for this to stop absolutely i mean we see you know a ton of americans come out so twenty million americans a minute comments to the f.c.c. and over a million have already called congress just in the last weeks and then people all around the world have been raising their voices i don't need we have tens of thousands of people with their name on a signature asking congress overturn the decision so it's pretty unpopular to start today that the commission yes he has made five commissioners three of them are republicans and voted against the other two democrats came out strongly strongly strongly opposed to overturn these protections so i think that we'll see that. the days are numbered no net neutrality yet something that could have a lot of ramifications this the solution today net neutrality come pain director thanks for your time and your thoughts today thank you ok about this news for an

introduction i'll be back on a busy day lots of stories coming up at the top of the hour but more are two programs right ahead. the problem in this new reality is there will be no resting in peace there is no death anymore people will pay to make sure that their death is final that their death is complete that all their d.n.a. a skull.

alone welcome to all to part give me a lover and a full crumb and i shall move the world almost every politician in these day and age use a summer edition of the archimedes pledge in search of power but very few deliver on to gaining it is that due to the lack of striving or perhaps trying for all the wrong things to discuss that i'm now joined by eric musk an american economist and two thousand and seven nobel laureate professor musk and it's great to talk to you think you're for sparing some time for us thanks for the invitation now you're best known for mechanism design theory you got your nobel prize for them as far as i understand it's a bit like reverse engineering your started out with

a goal you want to achieve and you work backwards and i can see how it can be easily applied to electoral politics running for office but is it just as a political tool to running the office governance which by definition is far more diffused when it comes to the stated goals. yes well i think mechanism design comes into politics first in the design of governments. where when the country is trying to figure out how it is going to allocate power to the executive to the legislative it will draw up a constitution and the process of designing and executing a constitution is an exercise in mechanism design but i assume the challenge here would be not only defining and sort of operationalizing your goals but also prioritizing them and as much as you want to bring more mathematics and science

into governance do you think it's actually possible realistic to construct that multi-layered governing algorithm when you're so constrained by short political cycle mechanism design. is more concerned with. what constraints you place on the politicians officials what what scope for the exercise of power they have once they're in office it's up to them to operate within those constraints that is the mechanism design doesn't tell them what they should do with office it's interesting that you stress the sort of a limiting part and i think that's actually a very cultural american thing about. the idea about limiting power but obviously when a politician arm a new government comes in.
