can do in the face of the will of go as the deep state little learn that in a new nato leaders nothing you can do about this will against him trump is is a grotesque contradiction he says he says that but he pursues these wars as well it's the one anomaly is wanting to. to have some peace deal with russia atlee conspiracy people would say ah that's because he's packing them back for putting him in the white house or something ridiculous like that but that's that in looking at trump's record trumps record is pretty appalling mind you trump is a bit of a wimp compared with a bomb a bomb or ended. having put america in just seven wars including the longest war in its in its history having increased the development of nuclear warheads more than any president since the cold war obama's record was on the soup
10:01 am
a whole trampas has a long way to catch up with his previous us that's why we really should stop simply looking at trump the man to trump as a kind of symptom and i mentioned earlier a character true of almost a cartoon version of a system a system that has produced people that have almost brought us to the edge of nuclear war. thank you you're welcome after the break we speak to actor in cannes film festival mc lubber will soon as he switches from the matrix just star you all to see a film about marine biologist whose job foretold global environmental catastrophe by diving in the depths of the earth's oceans all the more coming over but two of this season finale of growing up.

in two thousand and sixteen the panama papers show the world with a tax haven the secrets to trilling and united states dollars passed through most. in the amount of time that we've been in the panama papers exposure that's what it shows a lot of money it really is. journalism it's an act of journalism looking at things that people want to keep secret and asking why would they want to keep these things secret. millions of most like from documents where examine. all the people which basically have tried to get an advantage out of this thought it was newspaper. and probably other politician which was the other politician
10:03 am
the media would point to find their targets such as the kings of morocco and saudi arabia the president of argentina several prime ministers. and russian president vladimir putin of course. oh my god i've had so i have sued so many newspapers for defamation some things don't just happen by chance you. very striking there were no more americans to go specially a lot of people from the brics countries specially brazil russia and china that this special project reveals what was missed in the media coverage. the panama chronicles. los angeles the city of luxury and free but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a.
10:04 am
use there is just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's no where to come in and it's been a struggle. running into this man phoned his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle to the authorities except such. a tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution perth to someone wanted touring the site otherwise it'll be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. for his goal this periodic album number seventy nine has unique attributes that make it great for money they think a big point it with not more in a vacuum it has got forty years of history to it and it's evolved through all these technologies it's a unique protocol and it like all it is attracting
10:05 am
a huge amount of capital force for the for this achievement and you can't say that you can simply go out there and create another one there are competitors of course just like there are competing species on planet earth for energy is survival but there is only one the apex predator or that is met at the moment before he dies from oligarchy. welcome back to a peer reviewed journal nature is published in the past few days that there is a ninety five percent chance of the earth will heat up two degrees centigrade or three point six degrees fahrenheit within the next seventy years or thereabouts aside from possible implications that include the twenty first century ravaged by wars for resources and the displacement or death of tens of millions there are lethal knock on effects for the world's oceans arguably no single person educated the planet about seventy percent of the earth more than jacques cousteau french
10:06 am
naval officer explorer a conservationist filmmaker innovator scientist photographer author and research or jacques cousteau's life is celebrated in a new film the odyssey directed by jerome soule starring as cousteau is an actor a recording artist and director known around the world for his roles in the matrix films bear wilson he joins me now welcome to going underground so what's it like portraying a father son relationship in a film which then so obviously pivots to the fate of the planet itself i think it's a relief to concentrate on the only one subject father son relationship when you're talking about a man who's known as close to because you avoid the typical bio pic shore which can be boring and by concentrating on the father son relationship you reveal a lot of the facets aspects of his personality of course his personality. his. brilliancy and at the same time his selfishness and or thought of nature and his
10:07 am
sense of desire to control his own territory. so i mean we all know about under in the oceans basically humanity knows about what's happening under the oceans a huge extent because of jacques cousteau we breathe underwater because if you're going to end this a lot of it will take for granted really really truly because we forget that he invented the famous aqualung in the forty's in one hundred forty three. and that's and it's not a little accomplishment. when he was the first one to film underwater and sprayed those images through television and before that for cinema. the cannes film festival in the sixty's for the world of silence. we owe him a lot of things i'm not saying this because i studied him and i portrayed him i was part of a generation that grew up with him watching his films every week or every fortnight
10:08 am
and he gave us a sense of adventure he gave us a sense of fun also because what he was doing with you know his crew on board calypso seemed you know very french everybody was drinking eating occasionally running after a dolphin or a whale but it's just. the first reality t.v. show it was the first absolutely it was a very clever communicator had a great sense of. you know he invented the red beanie because he wanted to kill it so member and you're wearing a number yes. he wanted the crew of the calypso boat to be identifiable straightaway so he is an all thing that used to be worn by people going under water in these big. metal things that used to have the beanie under to protect themselves and he used that simply as a it was modern marketing anyway so he said he was a genius but then there's a slow burn through the film until you get to a line like. you speaking as jacques cousteau's way that the elimination of
10:09 am
materialism is required to save the planet that's just suddenly in the middle of the ville yes i think changed his views about the planet itself ok so is. representative of man's rapport to nature at the end of the twentieth century in the fifty's when he's starting diving into something he's a predator. he learned how to dive in order to kill fish and when he's starting to film he uses fish as material to make sensational images in the sixty's you observe that all the fish that he's been filming in the forty's late forty's have disappeared he starts becoming a little aware. and then through a major revelation held by his son felipe who was an activist and ecological activist he called him a militant militant he goes to antartica and realizes that instead of just.
10:10 am
taking the world filming the world he needed to protect the world and then he embarks on this new period in his life in which he's going to alert the public and he's going to be a whistleblower on ecological issues and for him everything was linked to capitalism the the guilt was on the side of capitalism he was very very pessimistic he never allowed himself to express his pessimism in front of the cameras he did so in his book he was very dark he thought that man was not going to . realize quickly enough how fragile it all was and so he was you know he was he was you can have much hope in a lindsay which pessimism in the veldt was all usual was vacillation ironic and you portrayed this in the film that we owe big oil company it's
10:11 am
a little bit out of me i wouldn't say all of that as how ambivalent the character was which is the reason why in france unlike in america or maybe in other countries of the world to in france is. it is still attacked for his ecological actions in the in the fifty's compromises he needed the money to being in the numbers of everything from and simply to to move the boat and so he got his contract with british are tolerant to help them find oil wells near abu dhabi and so he contributed to the destruction of the environment in the in that part of the world but he spent the rest of his life. making this major. mayor cool. and so i think it's very unfair that he should be criticized on his attitude in the fifty's you know he refused to have the famous film the world of silence for which you want to go as i was saying he refused to have it altered he could have
10:12 am
removed a few images to give himself a better image no he took full responsibility to show the world that this was the attitude in the fifty's that you could use dynamite to get items of samples of fish to study or that you could use young baby whales as a bait for sharks in order to film great scenes he wanted to say this is how we did it the world was our oyster we didn't ask ourselves and questions but now we do and we will have to more and more russia's vladimir putin has just made a twenty seventeen year of a call a g. china supporting russia's marine protection area then talk to that's what they say . what do you think jacques cousteau would think of these big powers talking about it really because jacques cousteau and the film is not giving it away because joe and antarctic and preservation are where we are legally antartica is preserved
10:13 am
because of the action of trying to in the late eighty's in the ninety's he went to visit all the heads of states to extend a moratorium that already existed extended until two thousand and forty eight. but he actually worked very hard and he started with the australian prime minister and then went he was irritated in washington the big oil companies are telling our elected leaders and the general public that they're doing what they can what would be saying about so-called green washing and corporate law here ok i think that was clever so he made he wanted things to be possible he wanted accomplishments to be made and so presumably. e in c o p twenty one he would have agreed on the route the compromises the arrangements that were made. thank god we have in france at the moment the equivalent of
10:14 am
a cousteau who has does not have such an international profile as cousteau did but we have nicola you know that has just been hired by. as. minister of the transition towards ecology which is interesting as a terminology which proves that france intends to really shift its policy as far as you don't think a macro government would bomb a green peace rainbow warrior ship protesting nuclear testing that sort of that's a tricky question i think that france france still has a tendency to protect national interests. particularly as far as nuclear activity and grow is doing nuclear submarine simulation just the other day showing the. action of the protection of the in the national military institutions i think france has a tradition of going all the way you know we are
10:15 am
a nuclear force i've just finished a film in the highest where we have some of our nuclear submarines it's very impressive we ignore that part of the reality but actually it's there and very often goes to brittany but it was frontal really only nuclear power in the european union when britain leaves absolutely so i think. until the day you know who is the minister of environment decides to leave because he disagrees i think my calling will want to have a green policy simply because you can only do is an incredibly popular figure in france he is the figure former german. the figure of and environment they've already had a feud about you know those. chemicals that kill. you know naked you know it's actually i can never forget that even in french when he
10:16 am
when he you know won so so far and you could have you know if you gave initial support in new to. the green body but i did because you do and i had worked together at greenpeace he was the director of greenpeace before he became. european parliament member and because i wanted the. ecological questions to be raised within the presidential elections and then he associated himself with the socialist and then he got absorbed and so i then didn't continue supporting him. the ecological issues have not been tackled so much during the french president presidential elections my quiz catching up and i think it's and it's an incredible coup in france that should have got. everybody trying to get in you can only go and you could have presented himself as well as for the presidential election so he had what he has all that at the macro as a technocrat is near liberalism which candidate is allied to goldman sachs and
10:17 am
financial institutions you think jacques cousteau whatever your optimism about the new french president. i think. was a realist and i knew you were. associated himself with with some politicians i think that it's very early days he was. yeah i think he was he was a great diver and swimmer politically ducker and ever yes exactly it's very early days with michael i think the great thing for us is that he is a very very intelligent man and he's absorbing many new forces including you lou is a great example of what michael has up his sleeve so i don't think that you can reduce into. banks and liberals may be the crisis will happen and i didn't intend to have a political conversation about france clearly the key discussion will be in september when the code of work the work legislation is going to be discussed then
10:18 am
this is when he will. clearly define his position and maybe again the country will come to a halt we dream of progress and we dream of. movement in france and every time any acquired right is questioned we hit the street and we paralyze the country so we have pretty complicated. and that said for one of your favorite shows of the season will be back with all new episodes are going on the ground on wednesday the seventeenth of january children keep in touch via social media have a happy altered. hello
10:19 am
my name is peter and i've been living in russia for about seven years and this is a film about just some of the crazy things i've got. i mean. because i. i.
10:20 am
really believe the you. know it was more. like this my. workers are. going to cause like not believe. you forgot. we applaud the tremendous courage of the reigning people in washington throws its support behind the violent protests in iran threatening sanctions to suppress the rest of. the middle east jerusalem status the u.s. president considers cussing aid to the palestinians for not wanting to pace. the
10:21 am
slanging match between donald trump and the north korean leader descends into barbs about the size and power of the nuclear buttons just as south korea tries to calm the situation with upcoming talks with pyongyang. i. like good afternoon welcome it's just turned one o'clock here in moscow you're watching international now thousands of pro-government supporters have rallied across iran to the moment the violent protests that have been erupting since the end of december at least twenty one people have died in clashes after six consecutive days of unrest the demonstrations started in protest over the sluggish economy and a jump in prices then transformed into a political uprising with some chanting anti-government slogans the unrest turned violent in several times with police posts attacked by the protesters in the last
10:22 am
three days there have been more than four hundred fifty arrests in toronto alone from that ministration has threatened to impose sanctions if it's not satisfied with iran's response to the unrest. you don't get ahead of sanctions but that is one tool kit we are watching reports very carefully of any potential human rights abuses of these protesters who are protesting peacefully we are now seeing an organic popular uprising organized organized by brave iranian citizens on the largest scale since two thousand and nine the united states supports the iranian people and we call on the regime to respect its citizens basic right to peacefully express their desire for change but we asked people interim what they think about the protests need encouragement to coming from abroad. given that i feel that if people's economic problems were addressed these accidents
10:23 am
would never happen again so if someone from the government came and spoke to them these incidents would not escalate. the cost of living unemployment a lack of attention to people authorities say that this problem started with a surge in the prices of basic food supplies. they need that person who says time for change should think and be worried about their own country and the iranians should think about their country everybody should start by trying to make progress at home. i don't think trump should interfere in our country's issues i don't think our issues are any of his business well the u.s. is also calling for an international response to the unrest in the country with more on this is samir a cut. the u.s. has firmly voiced its support for the anti-government movement baster nikki haley has even called for an emergency meeting of the u.n.
10:24 am
security council to discuss the ongoing situation it takes great bravery for the iranian people to use the power of their voice against their government if the iranian dictatorships history is any guide we can expect more outrageous abuses in the days to come the u.n. must speak out iran's president has come out in defense of peaceful protests but the supreme leader believes the foreign powers are to blame let's check out what was said to the enemy is waiting for an opportunity for a crack it can infiltrate president trump kicked off the new year unleashing a stream of tweets on the issue accusing iran of corruption human rights violations and spending its wealth on terrorism and of course the israeli government has followed suit even going on to say that the iranians and israelis will be friends once the regime forces but what's even more surprising is that israel faces the same discontent some anti-government protests and some overtimes recognition of
10:25 am
jerusalem as its capital but what did nikki haley have to say about this now you saw strong when it comes to the freedom and dignity of their union people who have but you have a different meaning of freedom and dignity when it comes to the palestinian people will be because we've been brutalized for over fifty years of occupation the palestinians now have to show their world they want to come to the table as of now they're not coming to the table but they ask for aid we're not giving aid we're going to make sure that they come to the table and we want to move forward with the peace process so as you just heard there the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. this reviewer trumps a plan to stop funding a u.n. agency giving aid to palestinian refugees shortly after the u.s. leader himself suggested cutting donations to the palestinian administration in a tweet claims that despite giving hundreds of millions of dollars a year they show no. appreciation or respect to the u.s. trump also suggested cutting aid because according to him the palestinians are not willing to talk peace with israel however that is something the palestinian
10:26 am
administration doesn't agree with the president's office says that jerusalem is not for sale and that they are not backing away from negotiations but stress that they should be based on international law. who is an editor of the palestine chronicle believes the u.s. move is nothing short of bullying i don't think it is immune i think it is part of the forest policy that has been followed by the trump administration for months now and it's a policy that is called immediate sort very well with the israeli government the tweet was also joined by a statement made by the u.s. ambassador to the united nations that she says forthright that we will not be giving money to on. you and refugee agency that is the key to helping millions of palestinian refugees in palestine and. the middle east if this is not
10:27 am
a form or bullying it's not a delegation then what is. will be it iran palestine or north korea present trump has made twitter his go to a platform to get his messages across but as r.t. hugo explains all too often is posting lead to some very real and violent consequences. christmas the new year even the seasonal holidays haven't put the brakes on trump's twitter train in twenty eight in pakistan got it first. the united states has foolishly given pakistan moving thirty three billion dollars in aid over the last fifteen years and they have given us nothing but lies and deceit thinking of our leaders as food they give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in afghanistan with little help no more no love lost their trumps administration has been walloping pakistan for months but it's not like anything in particular
10:28 am
happened on monday to trigger the backlash but to say this tweet got a slam about an age would be an understatement three ministers including the prime minister the army the navy and air force chiefs all converged for an emergency security meeting following trump's post the u.s. ambassador was summoned for an explanation as protesters burned american flags in the streets then it was the turn of iran one of the biggest storms in donald trump's side. iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the bammer administration the great iranian people have been repressed for many years they are hungry for food and for freedom along with human rights the wealth of iran is being looted time for change the islamic republic has been erupting in rallies and briards as people have been swarming the streets both against and in support of the government people died the tweet hasn't gone
10:29 am
unnoticed in iran urging against the violence president rouhani denied to trump the right to sympathize with the nation well when done with the middle east trump couldn't help but pay the classic twitter tribute to his one and only rocket man. sanctions and other pressures are beginning to have an impact on north korea soldiers are dangerously fleeing to south korea rocket man now wants to talk to south korea. for the first time perhaps that's good news perhaps not we will see well apparently this was donald trump's knee jerk reaction to south korea offering to hold high level talks with the north after pyongyang suggested the countries should meet to discuss the next olympics it's not government policy it's the. ravings of a person who speaks before thinking tweets before thinking you know one would hope that the people on the receiving end of these things would take them with a grain of salt because. you know trump may say those things but he can't act on
10:30 am
them because he's got a whole bureaucracy that doesn't agree with them so. it's very destabilizing and i think it's undermining u.s. ability to negotiate solutions to problems so whatever policy donald trump is concocting stirring trouble on twitter is something that is going to stay it was done of. well of all the world leaders north korea's kim jong un has been perhaps most targeted by trump's tweet after one of his most recent posts the battle of words between the two to descend into insults about the size and power of their nuclear buttons. the entire us mainland is within the range of our nuclear strike and the button is always on the table in my office space you clearly know that this is so.
