10:31 pm
a slave for them it's all you can do you can call it a slave at first i didn't choose to come to israel i didn't think about anything i just wanted to see where there is peace where i can take care of myself where i can protect myself. i was in natanya until eight months ago and then they told me i had to come to a whole lot i asked why do i have to come to a whole lot i never did anything i have not done anything i did not fight with anybody what's the problem what am i guilty of they said no the government has decided that i said ok the government has decided i respect the law and so i came to hold out the whole comment well earlier we were joined by writer and political commentator who think gore yes gideon levy from the israeli newspaper ha'aretz to debate the issue. we face the problem so-called problem of some city seven thousand asylum seekers refugees who lift both of them have children
10:32 pm
here they should stay here they have to stay you know human regime would expand and if israel is going to expel them by force it will be one of the most sharing food stamps that israel had ever taken note less than these they're not refugees they're criminals who crossed the border illegally and not all man but you can talk about this solemn seekers when the people come from that conflict or not the contrary to save their lives they how well they they have done quite a long way they didn't want to stay in egypt for example for some reason they want to benefit from our reach from merciful society and now people like you don't live a who are all true liberal radical bourgeois they live in pure white neighborhoods of television where they have no problems but the government duffey israel is here to protect this citizens of israel and the people in poor neighborhoods that maybe
10:33 pm
the roads are suffering tremendously from of this invasion of criminals who answered the contrary now some of them of course behaved fine this is exactly the way that they spoke to the surtees in some european countries they change the nature of the country sixty says. they are off a country of nine million people i mean how race i said that before i hit both sombrero knew them although if i needed to say that i said just there are a lot of neighborhoods terrible problem we cannot accept any illegal immigrants no one no more. no more and we're sending them to the places where they all be safe with mani in their pocket or with the money which they earned eighty percent over there and three in europe are recognized as refugees it is no less than one person
10:34 pm
how could you hold it but the races those fighting for their lives israel is there a few. kids absorb a certain seven thousand people and it's unbelievable how. to speak in such a racist way but this is the. french nationals who went to fight with islamic state in syria could be facing trial not back in france but instead in kurdish held territory in the middle east if in syrian kurdistan there are judicial institutions that are capable of assuring a fair trial with guaranteed rights of defense they will be judged the. debate over what action should be taken against your hundreds holding french passports has been gathering pace that since the arrest of a notorious female recruiter in syria last month she was blacklisted by both the united nations and the us and they're said to have recruited more than two hundred
10:35 pm
french citizens. according to a u.s. based research group more than fifteen hundred of french origin joined ourselves ranks over a three year period in iran three hundred of them have since returned to france we spoke to anti terror expert louis hurrying to know about why france could be willing to allow its nationals to go on trial abroad. before she went to syria was heavily involved as the jihadists recruit up bringing her back to france to stand trial could incite others to commit acts those there's no there's nothing of any interest to bring her back for that i think the french would rather see a languish in jail for years to come you know this is this is a fight for. values that we believe in innocent until proven guilty that if there is evidence it should be transferred from the kurdish authorities to the french quarter in france and she should stand trial in france and take us to me is on this
10:36 pm
forty thousand fighters from one hundred twenty countries nobody's said nobody's interest to have these people returned to their homeland simply because the radicalization programs that we have in place now they can't even account they can't even do anything with the guys who cannot be on the front lines how these the radicalization programs going to cope with hardened jihadists that may return not peace but better to keep them languishing in syrian jails keep them keep. it for as long as possible. so let's return to our top story this hour at the u.n. it is suspending security assistance to pakistan its long time ally in fighting terrorism in afghanistan washington accuses pakistan of not making a serious effort to fight terror groups let's get some insight now because we're joined live on the program by nicholas davies journalist and author of the book blood on our hands the american invasion and destruction of iraq to discuss the
10:37 pm
issue further hi there nicholas donald trump has accused pakistan of providing a safe haven for terrorists a novice security aid for the country is this it new pressure on islam or bad going to change the situation when it comes to the war on terror. well in the past when the u.s. has pressured pakistan to drive militants out of its so-called safe havens. this is not necessarily worked out as the u.s. would hope two years ago in twenty sixteen pakistan did exactly that and drove out you know hundreds or thousands of foreign fighters from the border areas these were chechens and specs and we girth and so those people relocated to northern afghanistan and joined the taliban there so
10:38 pm
and in fact helping to strengthen what has been really a resurgence of the taliban in northern afghanistan where the people most people are not even pashtoon that taliban originally had its entire base within the past community and now now now it's made great gains in among the tad she and other minorities a large minorities in northern afghanistan you know that's another. thing just on the other logistics and i'm sorry sorry to cut your full of shit for just on the actual logistics of it pakistani earth feels we know were used by the u.s. military for drone strikes in afghanistan do you think in retaliation pakistan could not close its or a field to american military operations and what would that mean.
10:39 pm
yeah well and in the past the pakis pakistan has more or less turned a blind eye or or a sort of nod and a wink to u.s. air strikes and drone strikes along the border area. and hundreds total of i believe four hundred twenty nine u.s. drone strikes in pakistani territory now those were suspended for a while at the end of the obama administration but since march this year there have been another five drone strikes but with the deteriorating relations. how is pakistan going to respond to that if the u.s. continues drone strikes over the vigorous objections and. deteriorating relations. you know we'll have to see yet there is the question of course isn't there in the face of such harsh rhetoric against pakistan while narvi
10:40 pm
its closest allies in talking the taliban is washington going to run into trouble conducting its operations in afghanistan pakistan plays an important role in supply lines doesn't it to us on nato troops there. yes absolutely and of course in the past when there were problems in pakistan we're talking about ten years ago the u.s. was able to reroute a lot of its supplies through russia and one wonders now with all the u.s. . you know accusations against president putin and russia where there. still has that option i'm not sure that they do so really i mean the u.s. america first us go it alone. you know it doesn't really work ultimately without help from other countries and the west keeps making enemies of all the all
10:41 pm
its potential friends and allies around the world. then it's going to find out that it can't do everything on its own always great to get your insight on the program nicholas de vries journalist or third thank you very much. a deadly week long government uprising in iran has put further strain on relations between tehran and the us with i.q. stations and criticisms flying back and forth between the countries our administration will continue to support the protesters in their cause for freedom washington intervenes in a grotesque way in iran's internal. iran's military chief said the turmoil that swept the country over the civil disobedience has been widely condemned in iran over the past two days these are images of rallies going to have been held in a number of cities in support of the authorities according to the country's interior ministry around forty two thousand people were involved in the op rising
10:42 pm
it began with protests over declining living standards and high unemployment and then took a violent antigovernment turn on society has more now on the us reaction and how washington appeared keen to exploit the protests for its own ends. when they ask for a better economy when they ask for the government to spend money on their own country as opposed to terror exploits overseas or in other countries sure we would certainly do when they say that to you i support mat i'm not going to go i'm not going to see that's why you're trying to trap me into something like that i'm not going to go there to try that is no that is not our that is not our policy but we here with the iranian people are saying poverty corruption and economic uncertainty have the potential to trigger protests in the world over. and they can quickly turn ugly. but the international reaction to such an rest seems to depend on the country and question this is the precise picture of a long oppressed people rising up against their dictators killed on the one you
10:43 pm
know i mean in any country people can protest against high prices but when have a such them astray sions happen in our country opponents of the establishment come out and support them some western leaders are barely able to contain their enthusiasm for regime change and are rushing to throw their weight behind the demonstrators we are now seeing an organic popular uprising organized organized by brave iranian citizens on the largest scale since two thousand and nine the great to bring young people have been repressed for many years they're hungry for food for freedom along with human rights the wealth of iran is being looted song for change it is essential that western powers. were convicted in the. american time of the west of the powers. back in the arena. because it's only with their backing that being the iranian people will be secure and can go all
10:44 pm
the way securing their freedom of the of the previous regime but we've seen where this apparent pro-democracy fervor can lead. to. yes. the american president says he supports the protesters but these protests are not protests against the government these kinds of demonstrations happen in any country and they are against rising prices but each time these demonstrations happen we see that the authorities opponents use them for their own purposes the majority in iran i believe want evolution not revolution or. arrow spring style which has brought so much suffering elsewhere on the other hand the west seems oddly quiet about the massive rallies that are being held across iran in support of the government to. the root of it is just a canard it's the problem of youth unemployment i personally haven't been able to
10:45 pm
find a job for a long time but if people have a job they don't have any problem with the government of course most of iran's economic problems are domestically generally but another reason why investment and thus new jobs have been slow in coming is that contrary to their obligations under the nuclear agreement western countries notably the united states have not taken sufficient steps to facility normal financial flows when it comes to iran the west says it's listening but clearly selectively co-opting democracy for its own ends is a difficult habit to break and especially churkin r.t. london well as the protests in iran began to gain more international attention a number of fake images were circulated widely on social media this tweet shows a photo of a woman acrobatically attacking police officers with the caption around but it
10:46 pm
turned out to be a screenshot from an iranian movie after being exposed as the man who posed it they claimed it was supposed to be symbolic and this video which again thousands of views on was said to show a march in iran was later proved to be a protest in twenty eleven from bahrain and other fakes were perhaps less clear one post claimed to show the uprising when it was actually a photo of a pro government rally. a rise in violent crime in the northern german state may be linked to an increase in migrants according to a government backed study but is it really that simple taking a closer look for us paula sleeper. why have reports of violent crime in one german state increased by more than ten percent in the last two years well this is exactly what a group of criminologists at subic university of applied signs to find and what they established is that there is a link between the increased violent crimes in lowest sex to me and the influx of
10:47 pm
migrants but the authors say there are a number of important contributing factors the first and foremost is the age of the migrants most of man between the ages of fourteen and thirteen not generally speaking people in this age bracket are more likely to commit acts of a vine of nature than people in other age groups secondly where they come from is important migrants who come from syria iraq and afghanistan tend not to carry out the same number of violent acts as migrants for example that are coming from north africa and then third what is also relevant is the fact that there is a lack of women among the migrants only a quarter of migrants are female which means that you have groups of young men without their wives their mothers will be sisters and they are more likely to carry out acts of a violent nature now these findings do reflect earlier reportings that suggests
10:48 pm
that there is an increase in acts of a violent nature that are connected to the migrant crisis since two thousand and fifteen more than a million migrant have arrived here in germany that's say that wolf is there is an important mitigating factor and this is and it could be that people may be more likely to report acts find them in acts that are carried out by migrants than if they were carried out by local germans not criminologists believe that only integration isn't the solution and should bring down the high level of crime rates among my goodness kind of from. our point of view the study shows once again that you must not abandon those who come to us but actively provide integration and that means for example compulsory and comprehensive integration and language courses places in kindergartens in schools let's ask people here in britain what they think
10:49 pm
about being sued hugh i would say that this is coming from both sides the more people that come the more the dissatisfaction will be from those who have lived here longer i think that's something that should be driven by politics but then it's you know today it's to us it's a it's part of the society that we all need to change and it's a great people better play but changing our behavior and about economy is a really of it one of the more radical solutions would be to deploy the immigrants from germany interation stuff it's all day or they need to work at some point being an immigrant and working it's a different story we're kind of try to to get them to get them something worthwhile to do while a solution to the problem continues to be sort of a sad reality is that a violent crimes continue policy out scene. now terror news looks for another show in thomas' here with the stories affecting your world today and often ours time in the meantime or our two programs lie right ahead.
10:50 pm
what else should seem wrong. but also just don't call. me old yet to shape out this day become educated and gain from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
10:51 pm
hello there friend. this is the guys report. the new pocket book. sometimes you just obviously this is the ninth birthday week of bitcoin so i'm going to stick on this but i know also a lot of people have not only. from the new year still but they have indigestion from the you know baptism by market crashes and volatility you know most people got into big coin twenty seventeen and they only saw up up up up
10:52 pm
parabolic up and it was like it was like pennies from heaven it was like wonderful and then a lot of volatility hit over christmas so i'm assuming there's a lot of indigestion and fear and panic and self loathing and all sorts of stuff happening so we're going to look at this article that jamison lup as we mentioned when we were hanging out with him for the big queen birthday party last night and i want to talk about take a step back to understand where big queen came from and by understanding the genesis of the genesis bloc that happened on january third two thousand and nine understand where the future might be what might happen in nine years from now on the rise of the cipher punks this is an important term to understand in the cypherpunks because right now most of the tension for all the newbies involved in cryptocurrency is all about the corporate side everything and see n.b.c.
10:53 pm
bloomberg what they're focusing on and took for us to watch c and b c and bloomberg it's quite interesting because it's it's not at all what most people although like the original gangsters of bitcoin nobody really talks about these aren't what are important to the big point community but it's a corporate side and that's their side of the story but we're looking at the origin what happened from bitcoin to block chain to distributors ledgers the cryptocurrency space is fast evolving to the point where it can be difficult to see which direction headed but we're not without clues on many of the innovations in the space are new they are. built on decades of work that led to this point by tracing this history we can understand the motivations behind the movement that spawned decline and share its vision for the future so he starts with the history which was in the seventy's and at that time cryptography was invented and created and developed by the u.s. military by the likes of the n.s.a. and cia mostly n.s.a.
10:54 pm
so they developed cryptography and it was at that time that all of the guys with the knowledge of that this was considered basically state secret is like you know you can't just sell somebody u.s. military technology this was considered military technology to tell them about cryptography to tell them about encryption so in the seventy's was crypto war one was crypto war one the cryptographers against the government they wanted to open source and share this christian technology and order to keep the internet and communication private this notion of privacy not secrecy but privacy for the individual participating online the idea of privacy isn't shrine and in the constitution clearly you can interpret there the right to assemble as the right to assemble and communicate privately. if that were not the case pretty for the american revolution if there were no private meetings to think about the american
10:55 pm
revolutionary war without george washington's ability to send a message privately out there in the the colonies to to organize the the war against the empire yeah well he obviously needed secrecy these were secrets he was keeping from the crown and there is a legitimate reason for secrecy and all these early cryptographers did understand that you wanted secrets kept from your enemies and you know it during world war two we didn't want the nazis to have our. our knowledge we use those you know native americans so they spoke the language that they not going to speak we were keeping information secret from them however there's privacy these curtains are open right now behind us because where everybody's going to watch us on you tube we're not trying to hide anything we're happy for anybody to walk past there and look at us but if we were walking around naked or in our underwear or you know just hanging
10:56 pm
out with our friends here we do watch we have you could possibly read dutch if you've ever been to amsterdam they don't seem to have curtains they don't seem to mind not having much privacy but nevertheless we're not we're american and we're in america and you know you you want to keep some things private you want your own intimate private space this is what they want to maintain for the people so then he goes into the one nine hundred eighty s. he lists a few of the key people remember this the title of this article is on the rise of the cypherpunks it's really we can't get into it here we don't have enough time but you should go read it and find out the history of it but it was in one thousand nine hundred two where the term cypherpunks was first coined san francisco of course everything happens there in one thousand nine hundred two eric hughes timothy c. may and john gilmore founded a small group that met monthly a gilmore's company cygnus solutions in the san francisco bay area the group was humorously termed cypherpunks as a derivation of cipher and cyberpunk the cypherpunks mailing list was formed at the
10:57 pm
same time and just a few months later eric hughes published a cypherpunks manifesto he wrote privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age privacy is not secrecy a private matter is something one does not want the world to know but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world so this was the birth of the cypherpunk movement and this these are the. people the cypherpunks who invented the technology that is that is the foundation upon which bitcoin is built right there we're getting into the how we got to genesis block and the idea of having private messages require electronically required adventures and technology and i believe at some point in the story the government's work in creating
10:58 pm
encryption was kind of released was it was so that out and into while it was released finally after a big battles between these guys in the ninety's in san francisco and the government and there were threats to arrest there were threats that they were revealing state secrets and that's important to understand and that's in the documentation here that he's talking about but then the technology here just like member in the last episode we talked about the pre-cambrian explosion of all these ideas are merging here here with the ideas that went into it in in that you know biological life there were creatures with seven eyes creatures with ten eyes creatures with three eyes you know there were also attempts at various configurations but you could see that eyes were going to be a good evolutionary design it was it was useful and eventually to our eyes was the one that was settled on that was the standard upon which many biological creatures
10:59 pm
emerged. that is what those guys those cypherpunks were laying out the basically the standards upon which bit queen was built and one of the things of how to keep your messages private how to secure it where's it to set incentivize people to keep it private and he mentions that in one nine hundred ninety seven dr adam back created hashcash which was designed as an anti-spam mechanism that would essentially add a time in computational cost to sending email first making spam. on economical he envisioned that hashcash would be easier for people to use then dr chum's digit cash which was created a decade earlier so there was no need for the creation of an account hashcash even has some protection against double spending then later he mentions that dr waite day published a proposal for the money a practical way to enforce contractual agreements between anonymous actors he
11:00 pm
described two interesting concepts that should sound familiar first a protocol in which every participant maintains a separate database of how much money belongs to a user secondly a variant of the first system where the accounts of who has how much money are kept by a subset of the participants who are incentivized to remain honest by putting their money on the line so obviously copies some of those in the evolved it evolved from those concepts right well you know i say often that if you look at gold as periodic album number seventy nine it has unique attributes that make a great for money these are. not born 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'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
11:01 pm
there's.
