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 them because he's got a whole bureaucracy behind him that doesn't agree with them so. it's very destabilizing in and i think it's undermining us ability to negotiate solutions to problems so whatever policy don't trump is concocting stirring trouble on twitter is something that is going to stay he goes down a see. yeah as we heard there of all the world's leaders north korea's kim jong un has probably been criticized the most in trump's tweets and after the isolated

country's leader issued a new year's day need clear warning to washington troubles came to him but he stressed that his nuclear button is a bigot and his arsenal all powerful. but your call now with the entire u.s. 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 certainly not a threat to reality when someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that i too have a nuclear bomb but it's a much bigger and more powerful woman his and my but this is certainly not anything to joke about but i think the situation despite the confrontational rhetoric has been step ally's somewhat there's a recognition that there is a stalemate rex tillerson a few weeks ago did indicate the possibility of negotiations even without preconditions donal's from probably this kind of talk remains popular

what his right wing supporters certainly donald from at this stage does not believe that he is ready to make the first more so perhaps a tool career's may make the first move the developments bring your attention kim jong un has now reopened the cross border communications link with south korea and what's being seen as a significant diplomatic breakthrough anyway meantime the standoff between the u.s. and north korea looks set to continue into twenty eighteen after what's already been twelve months of personal attacks and vicious threats from both sides. year of strategic patience. with the north korean regime has failed. what's. best not make getting what threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury. the u.s.

neglects the international community's will establish peace on the korean peninsula behave like children fighting each other in kindergartens and nobody can stop them . and we can't have mad men out there shooting rockets all over the place we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself no one of them prompt himself is on a suicide mission. and i guess. we need the pools we need dialogue. he is a sick puppy. twenty seventeen saw world changing events but it was also a year when it was sometimes hard to tell fact from fiction wasn't the fake news swirled around global news coverage whatever jacqueline explains what propelled it

into the mainstream media. fake news the term that has filled the headlines and your social media feeds for the past twelve months has been deemed two thousand seventeen's word of the year at least by collins dictionary the nation relies on me to read truthful facts so i can't say that sandwiches of got on strike. it's news stories are sick. and the mainstream media would have you believe that fake news goes hand in hand with topics such as russia putin and the kremlin fake news that's being spread by russia fake news has dominated the true had lines fake news spread by russia fake news spread misleading or otherwise fake news certain outlets even to the battle against the fake news phenomenon to the front lines this is an apple. some people might try to tell you that it's a banana you might even start to believe that this is

a banana. but it's not. isn't. facts first should go without saying but the mainstream media have found themselves in the wrong on a staggering amount of occasions even c.n.n. has been guilty of it they were forced to retract their report on a connection between anthony scaramucci who was on trump's transition team and a russian investment fund manager issuing an apology for the false story three people lost their jobs over that one but of course there was the breaking news one in september by most major outlets in the u.s. dropping the bombshell that the russians had attempted to hack the election systems in twenty one states caught red handed it was the evidence everyone had been waiting for to prove the russians did it until one by one states came forward saying no hack here and the story of two thousand and seventeen quickly crumbled onto december and some of america's most influential news outlets spread another explosive and one hundred percent false news story to millions yes the wiki leaks

token of help to the trump campaign and the hacked d.n.c. emails wiki leaks equals russia therefore one plus one equals three and the kremlin and trump are in cahoots a message sent in the final stretch of the twenty sixteen campaign if this email on september fourth gave donald trump his son and others the decryption key for hacked wiki leaks documents illusion question right because we could weeks was actually acting as an agent of russian intelligence the media frenzy was however short lived the files had in fact not been handed over before being made public but after so not the knockout blow to the president they were all hoping for surprisingly about the whole story was based on one e-mail from our random guy and somewhere in the build up to the revelation hitting the headlines numerous people had read the date incorrectly the list of fakes goes on and on especially for russia somehow in the mix and inflammatory claims centering on russia are some of the best out there and that's despite one major outlet being caught admitting the hype was all just a big red herring what do you think's going to happen this week with gold rush. was

. really so perhaps the word of the year should be anonymous i grabbing headlines and allegations quickly turned to guilt despite no evidence all it takes is anonymous sources. coming up start of a brand new year but a deadly start to yemen as we report after the break. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to the world of politics. i'm sure business.

because this periodic album number seventy nine has unique attributes that make it great for money. but not more in a vacuum it has got forty years of history to it it's evolved through all these technologies it's a unique protocol and it's like gold it is attracting a huge amount of capital force for the for the 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 and survival but there's only one the tax credit for that is at the moment before he dies from the dark. again so yemen suffered its first deadly air strike in twenty eighteen with more than twenty killed in the port city of new year's day just to we could go through the world's biggest humanitarian agencies joined together to highlight that yemen

has passed the grim milestone of ensuring more than a thousand days of war explaining that three quarters of the yemeni population needs humanitarian aid further to say about two thirds of deprived of food water and proper sanitation. i am poor i have no tender i can live i suffer from the cold. i was given a place to sleep by some people to warm up on hot days sleep right on the sidewalk . there is no help comes very rarely wants to gear maybe but now we have no help or

blanket us tattered fifteen people sleeping on a. ukrainian army is going to see a military boost in twenty eighteen at least according to president petro poroshenko he tweeted that ukraine's military budget is increasing to a record three billion dollars and that the us weapons will be bolstered by locally produced hardware as he put it the war in ukraine started twenty fourteen after about uprising so the government opposed the part of history is it was met with resistance in the country's pro russian east leading to armed conflict against the government troops in two of those regions the un says more than ten thousand people have been killed so far now and he will come poena richard becker going forward thinks that washington's weapons sales now i've got little to do that with bringing peace. the aim here on the part of the u.s. government remains the same that it has had for several years and that is to

attach ukraine not only to the european community which the u.s. doesn't care that much about but to bring the ukraine into nato as well which would pose a very great threat to russia if that were to take place considering that the i'm going has still a t. that's expressed from washington and from nato headquarters is so prevalent so we can't really distinguish between or draw some sharp land between offensive and defensive weaponry in this case it's all of the offensive and defensive weaponry both necessary for any modern armed forces. to syria and iraq meantime twenty eighteen does mean emerging from the shadows of isis brutal rule few families are left i'm scarred by what they went through a senior correspondent has got the story next to two young syrian kills struggling

to survive he met them late last year after they were left alone in the ravaged city of bears or. meet sally she's five maybe six or perhaps seven she doesn't know and the smog hits the streets. surviving isis's see each of their disorder was no mean feat so many perished as a result of starvation sickness violence. if. sally is a survivor she has a sister and brother were abandoned by their parents years ago they divorced and left the children to fend for themselves and. can't oh i'm. almost done on the land she spends her days begging stealing playing and surviving no easy lot for them in this

life former neighbors who knew their family have taken pity on the kids and have looks out for them but it's not easy. but i wanted to take her in and she kept escaping i sent people to look for her but she never stays in one place long shallow escapes. there. sally's sister all she has left since her brother died of starvation we found the older girl at the end of this gloomy bullet riddled carville is a room with broken windows in it leaves a young girl with only flies bloodstain mattresses for company.

about a month ago sagitta who doesn't remember her age was brought in with a head injury when she fell she damaged an implant that siphons away the fluid different people tell different versions some say the full was accidental others attempted suicide but i'll but i but if fluids keep building and there will be consequences she will lose her sight hearing and the ability to swallow the pressure on her bringing has grown. in hospital i don't know she'll find no cure in dead as order as we were filming a nice a shell landed just a few hundred meters away sagitta needs to get to damascus to survive but lacking identification relatives and trapped in a war zone it's difficult to see how that's possible. sagitta doesn't get many visitors but there is one vigil person who

always makes a smile. if left alone sagitta begins to scream and cry she needs people there is cool is for optimism. sagitta suffering has touched a chord action is being taken to get the girls out of bed as or but for now all they really have aside from promises and p.t. is each other or i guess the. from datasource syria. sad to see as a little footnote for you we've got some positive news at least on young said since that was filmed in october she has made a trip to damascus it seems artie's local source informed us she underwent some surgery at a hospital there seems she's now back in there as a weather system but either which way it's going to be for sure an awful struggle

for those girls let's hope for twenty eight brings me a bit of a brighter future a. in time i'm kevin i would say thanks for watching this latest bulletin from auntie international. it's all see we have a great team we need to strengthen before the free float world cold and your bets have been a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that waiting spirit to the r.c.c. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will call him that starts or three. thousand zero zero zero zero

hitter here i call rush on. strike. left left left more or less ok stuff that's really good here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us exactly just belong on the only show i go out of my way to find you know what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same thing we are apparently better than blue things and see people you never heard of love right back to the night president of the world bank a. woman and seriously send us an e-mail. los angeles the sunni arab luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact is now ladies there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in

there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. and this man found his own reason. onto 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 but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on a city parking space is not a solution. that someone wanted touring the site otherwise it will be a free for all they're a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. i'm after it we're going underground in this season finale eighty one years to the day

international brigade volunteers began arriving in spain to fight british backed fascism coming up on the show with barack obama's injuries amaze defacto isis an al qaeda linked rebels in syria all but defeated what next for nato nations the stabilization around the world we talked allegedly reporter in filmmaker john pilger about silence noise and distortion and the matrix is number wilson tells us about the odyssey's of jacques cousteau to educate human kind about the depths of the world all the civil war coming up in today's going underground but first when we began this season theresa may and our government are still banging on about using british taxpayer money to overthrow the only secular government in the middle east but as we hit high someone your liberal austerity policies have destroyed a majority and donald trump has canceled cia funding for isis linked rebels meanwhile nato nation mainstream media appears to have found new rebels to support this time when the nation with the world's largest known resources or fossil fuel

bolivarian revolution revenge is whaler former mayor of london ken livingstone to negotiate a deal with former foreign minister now president of venezuela nick my duro to provide cheap venezuelan fuel for london's buses said mistakes were made on the chavez let alone the fact that killing some u.s. backed oligarchy could have prevented the current crisis there as one of the most cited scholars on earth he said when he shared the stage with the late to go chavez revolutions are not easy. we're going to send you but if you tell us. right about. the barriers. i'm going to pass. the best in women in a fast. and was harder to create create a better world not to talk about.

fascinating lebanese. citing about. at last visiting venezuela you can see how better world is being created. that sharing a stage with the later go chavez well joining me now is that list in filmmaker john latest film is gold the coming war on china john thanks for. before we get to the world in may and what did you make of jeremy cool been condemning violence on both sides in venezuela venezuela is getting the kind of attention. rightly and used because they are it's not tend to overthrow the government that's what this violence in the street is about and i think it would have been rather good of jeremy coburn had made it rather more specific who started the violence would we in this country tolerate. an opposition in the cold for the violent

overthrow of the government the cold the military to rise up a media the core of the cold on say let's say the b.b.c. calling for a coup against the government in wide toll and the prime minister in the ten downing street of course not yes there is violence on both sides but i would suggest that most of the violence comes from something that has never gone away and that is monopolies that control seventy percent of the capital and economic power and venezuela wanting to get rid of a government. that is not a socialist government it's a social democratic up one that has done some very interesting and quite see significant things for poll people who were regarded in the prost as white south africans used to regard the majority in that country. you've been. cooperative

there we go because what one might say but it was the reason he may not speak about the situation venezuela like you just is that is a policy of not speaking about venezuelan bella's day seems to be paying dividends he's favored to be the next prime minister of this country as well i'm not sure that the two weeks actually together i think a lot of people were very pleased to hear germany speak up not only about venezuela but speak up about the arms trade not simply is the manifesto coals for an inquiry into britain support for saudi arabia and all the arms that britain gives it we know about it it should be an end to a commercial sales policy which was begun by a labor government then as healy set up the procurement office that began this this multi-billion pound. enterprise

profitable enterprise of britain selling arms to some of the most unsavory unnamed countries in the world so they could use them against impoverished people that show day and completely and it would be good to see. to hear a labor leader say that but then he has these own problems within the party we should say very quickly because i would think most of his employees people who would be. more than happy to go ahead with this arms policy more than happy to endorse a so-called independent nuclear deterrent which germany coburn himself doesn't op so there's a conflict within the labor party we have to recognise that we don't listen to. the media especially our rob. treacherous liberal media and i say

treacherous because there's no attempt to report what is happening in venezuela or objectively or really to look at contemporary history in the truth of that and yes it will be good to hear a labor leader. elected with such hope. in within his own party and as you suggest possibly the next prime minister speak up about the it will britain obviously with that independent you did attend will support presumably any american war on russia you in your latest piece talk about other worlds may and and say that what the us congress have bust is should frighten all of us on the planet way. i don't know with the world well and i think there is such risk at the moment there is such provocation the us congress both houses. unprecedented almost unanimous

a handful of people who voted no have voted for. what they call sanctions against russia in fact these are sanctions against europe as well those sanctions especially against germany because what they are saying is that to the germans who are dependent on russian natural gas you can deal with russia we're going to tell you in fact by the way you can have very expensive. frakt gas which will send across the atlantic but really that is these sanctions is so sweeping the mccarthyite saying you really kongs almost comes about them in the land of free speech the liberal media says this is a great reaction in the face of trump the manchurian get a date he wanted to get so close to russia a careless i've never been i've never known such a political pantomime the that has gone into act i'm teen.

when it stopped being funny and all what children have gone home just leaving the adults as these auto drivel about how russia has played such a prominent role all conspired with donald trump to put him in power that is so provocative that it in the one oasis of sanity that we've had from trump. and that's he didn't want to go to war with russia i mean where did this come from i haven't been able to figure it out but it's the one it's the one side to trump the does being consistent. but he didn't want to go to war with russia he want to go and talk to putin about not going to war with russia to doing a deal the rest of trump what is like a cartoon version of previous as but this is a deep state coup against over trying to forge partnership with there's a rolling coup attempt against the president of the united states at the moment

there's no question about that they want him out all the major pillars of power in the united states plus the democratic party plus most of the media want trump out because if you take away the whole nato backed circus serious cause which has which has lined up on russia's western border a completely threatening presence of nato forces. on the very borderlands through which hitler invaded russia soviet union in one hundred forty one if if you if you take that away then what happens to the great armaments come companies the producers of the f. thirty five the lockheed martin raytheon what what happens to all those congressman who have have done sweetheart deals with the companies throughout what

happens to the nuclear weapons industry what happens to the whole pyramid upon which power in the united states is is based what led to it one won't go away of course but it's threatened in the same way that a republican president ronald reagan together with mikhail gorbachev threatened that if you like by bringing in the intermediate range nuclear weapons treaty at the end which effectively ended the cold war that very treaty and. i haven't seen this in the newspapers at all that very treaty is wiped out in these latest sanctions that ends the last treaty but might stop. a nuclear attack on a lot of the congressional bill signed reluctantly by trump can i just get them to i mean we know the drazen man had no hesitation in saying she'd press

a button globe it was a loft if i'm not it's in this context that you read this news that scott swiftwater the pacific fleet says publicly that he would be prepared to destroy the whole of china using the table is to say that publicly in such and such a threatening perfidious atmosphere in the world. it it shows the degree of irresponsibility if a nuclear war breaks out it will almost certainly break out by mistake or accident i can thing for a moment that even some of the lunatics that have gone along with this this new legislation that is going for the us congress would won't that really one of the truly sane i'm.
