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 logic a gradual build and reluctantly i just get them to i mean we know the trades are mad no is it asian saying she'd press a button globe it was a loft of a note it's in this context that you read this news that scott's we have to go to 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 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 want that really one of the truly sane american generals general james cartwright said a few years ago he lit up a panel that inquired into. the real risk. faced by people on both sides who have to make a decision very quickly about whether to fire nuclear weapons and they brought it down to less than fifteen minutes and the panel including general copyright agreed the obvious that it's madness. well within fifteen minutes what i just got to just back quickly has jump obviously his campaign repeatedly saying we want an end to all these foreign wars and nothing can do in the face of the whole of congress the deep state little known i don't know the you need to lead is the thing you can do about this against him trump is is

a grotesque contradiction he says he says but he pursues these wars as well it's the one who normally is wanting to. to have some peace deal with russia atlee conspiracy people would say ah that's because he's packing them back or putting them in the white house or something ridiculous like that but. but but looking at trump's record trumps record is pretty appalling . he's a bit of a wimp compared with obama. having put american troops seven wars including the longest war in the in that's history having increased the development of nuclear. warheads more than any president since the cold war a bomb is record. hawk. has a long way to catch up with his preacher said so that's why i really should stop simply

looking at trump the man to trump as a kind of symptom and i mentioned a character a true almost a cartoon version of a system a system that has produced people that have almost brought us to the edge of nuclear war joe thank you you're welcome after the break we speak to actor in cannes film festival that will soon as he switches from the make drinks just starting to see a film about marine biologist jacques cousteau foretold little environmental catastrophe by diving in the depths of the oceans and all the similar coming over but two of this season finale of going on. because gold is periodic album number seventy nine is unique attributes that make it great for money basically a big point with not more in

a vacuum it has got forty years of history to it as 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 this achievement and you can't say that you can simply go out there and create another one there are competitors of ours just like there are competing species on planet earth for energy and survival but there's only one tax credits or that is. at the moment before he dies from all the guards. it's the cradle of jazz. is america is still america we. don't know if this jazz feel. the city of climatic. alligators on the loose of poverty and crime are used by the least twelve members

of my friends to close my murder of street racing in the heat of the night this is new orleans itself from the best place in the world. in the heart of the swiss alps this is a place probably more secretive than the pentagon more mysterious than the cia and better guarded than for knox customs are here permanently all the site is controlled by them and they impose the opening times. to prosecute these families all plus the procedures in place of the strictest in all europe masterpieces by artists like pecans oh and modigliani i kept boards unsold inside this warehouse that's where the report comes in it covers up deals which are naturally discreet

commercially discreet but also discreet because they concern fraud. some of those paintings are linked to dark secrets nobody knows how many of these secrets a kept inside the geneva freeport system you'll never obtain an inventory of all the works in the freeport who knows how many there are three hundred three thousand three hundred thousand is it a matter of confidentiality only is it the world's black box of the art business. 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 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 recording artist and director known around the world for his roles in the matrix films lamb bear wilson he joins me now welcome to going underground so what's it like portraying a father son relationship in the 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 him 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 was personality. his.

brilliancy and at the same time his selfishness and his or solitude nature and his sense of desire to control his own territory he's. so i mean we all know about under the in the oceans basically humanity knows about what's happening under the oceans to a huge extent because we breathe underwater because if you sue and this is a lot of it will take for granted really really truly because we forget that he invented the famous as. long in the forty's in one hundred forty three and that's and that's not a little accomplishment. when he was the first one to film on the water and spread 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 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 just it was the first reality t.v. show it was the first to 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 you know 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 in a way 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 materialism is required to save the planet that's a sudden change that comes in the middle of the ville yes i think change his views about the planet itself ok cousteau is. representative of man's rapport to nature at the end of the twentieth century in the fifty's when he starting. diving and filming is 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. 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 film was all usual was vacillation ironic and you

portray this in the film that we owe big oil company it's a little bit as a result i wouldn't see 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 too in france is. it is still attacked for his ecological actions in the in the fifty's compromises he needed the money to be a good the numbers of everything from and. simply too to move the boat and so he got his contract with british petroleum 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 but 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 he won the palme ago as i was saying he refused to have it altered he could have 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 he 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 of antarctica that's what they say. what do you think jacques cousteau would think of these big was talking about it really because jacques cousteau and the film is not giving it away because joe

and antarctica preservation are where we are legally antartica is preserved because of the action. 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 up. elected leaders and the general public that they're doing what they can and 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 so presumably in the c o p twenty one he would've agreed on the. the compromises the arrangements that were made.

thank god we have in france at the moment the equivalent of a cousteau who has does not have such an international profile to 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 growth is doing nuclear submarine simulation just the other day showing the. protection of the protection of the and the national military

institutions i think france has a tradition of going all the way you know we are 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 britain a bit of yours france will be the only nuclear power in the european union when britain leaves absolutely so i think. until the day nicolette you know who is the minister of environment decides to leave because he disagrees i think my cone 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 journalist the figure of and environment they've already had a feud about you know those. chemicals that kill beads

you know naked you know it's actually i can never forget that even in french when he 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 a 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 now i think it's and it's an incredible coup in france that should should have got. everybody trying to get in you can go and you could have presented himself as well for the presidential election so we

have one he has all that at the macro is a technocrat his new liberalism which candidate is allied to goldman sachs and financial institutions you think jacques cousteau whatever your optimism about the new french president. i think. was a realist in any way. 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. 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 just. banks and liberals and maybe the crisis will happen i'm sorry i didn't intend to have

a political comes about france clearly the key discussion will be in september when the code of work the over the work legislation is going to be discussed then this is when he will. clearly define his his position and maybe again the country will come to a halt we dream of progress and we dream of. a movement in france and every time any quite 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 we'll be back with all new episodes are going on the ground on wednesday the seventeenth of january till then keep in touch via social media have a happy or tried. hello my name's peter and i've been living in russia now for about seven years and this

is a film about just some of the crazy things i've gotten through in the time. that's . what. i need to just run their store do it because. i started. seems wrong. but. just don't hold. me. to shape

our just. to add to it and in again because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. we are taught the tremendous courage of the iranian people washington throws its support behind me antti government all prizing in a round threatening sanctions against tehran if it tends to suppress peaceful protests. through infuriating muslims across the middle east over jerusalem statists the us president considers cutting aid to palestinians some accuses them of not wanting to talk peace. pressing each other's buttons donald trump the north korean leader trade barbs over the size and power of their nuclear

arsenal. just after eleven pm this wednesday night here in moscow good to have your company i'm you know neal this is our international our top story this hour tens of thousands of government supporters have rallied across around to deny the violent protests that have been gripping the country at least twenty one people have died during clashes over the past week the demonstrations are thought to have been triggered by widespread economic hardship on the prospect of a few actually became political in nature with protesters calling for that. they 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 well we asked people in tehran for their thoughts on the protests and the encouragement coming from abroad. but. i feel that if people's economic problems were addressed these accidents would never happen 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 to pass and who says time for change should think and be worried about

their own country and the rainiest should think about their country everybody should stop 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 . the u.s. is also calling for an international response to the unrest in the country washington's ambassador to the un nikki haley has even called for an emerging security council meeting to discuss the situation in iran. it takes great bravery for the iranian people to use the power of their voice against their government if to rein in dictatorships history is any guide we can expect more outrageous abuses in the days to come the u.n. must speak out. or during the same news conference nikki haley also face questions over the united states of a true towards the palestinian people. now you soar strong when it comes to the freedom and dignity of variant people you have but you have

a different meaning freedom and dignity when it comes to the palestinian people will be will be in 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 or shortly after about the u.s. leader himself suggested cutting donations to the palestinian ministration in the tweet he claims that despite giving them hundreds of millions of dollars a year they show no appreciation or respect to the u.s. from both so suggested cutting aid because according to him the palestinians are not willing to talk peace with israel however that is something the palestinian administration does not agree with the president's office sees that jerusalem is not for sale they are backing away from negotiations but stressed the should be based on international law last year the palestinian authority received around

three hundred million dollars in aid from the us quite a sum but that pales in comparison to the three billion dollars that israel received from washington in any case the mustapha barghouti from the palestinian national initiative sees palestine doesn't need foreign aid to sustain itself. the worst thing in his statement. was his declaration that he's taking off the issue of jerusalem from the table of negotiations he's deciding unilaterally what is that and once and he still wants us to come to the table which is empty the man been officially from the money that is coming to palestinian authority is that. you might be surprised about that but most of that money goes to funding security cooperation with israel and israel is in need for that security cooperation not palestinians we are not dependent on foreign is as a matter of fact the total amount of money that is coming from you would have from

the states and from other countries is no more than sixteen percent of the budget of the palestinian authority while the public palestinians are being with their taxes if the four percent of the cost of the palestinian authority in my opinion. that money is not is not going to affect us seriously so he can take. iran palestine north korea all have been on the sharp end of donald trump's twitter i personally as the us president continues to pioneer his own unique brand of social media diplomacy and that he or she down off explains concern is growing that his online invective could have serious real world 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 is 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 troops administration has been walloping pakistan for months but it's not like anything in particular happened on monday to trigger the backlash but to say this tweet got islamabad and 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 unnoticed in iran urging against the violence president rouhani denied 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 korea to south. 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 them because he's got a whole bureaucracy behind him 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 don't trump is concocting stirring trouble on twitter is something that is going to stay if it is done of. you as we heard there of all the world's leaders north korea's kim jong un has perhaps been criticized the most in dollar terms to it's after they isolated.
