the u.s. prison system is so horrible countries are finally declaring that sending people here would constitute cruel and unusual punishment. well i guess we sooner send him to siberia nothing but a banana hammock or. in other good news good prison news a florida ban on felons voting was ruled unconstitutional. which is which is the right decision because the whole point of frisian is that that's your punishment the prison. and. not your guy afterwards right you did it and furthermore the idea that because you committed a crime in your past you are able to vote and you have any idea what kind of breaks we have voting in this country like horrible horrible human beings kids don't vote rex tillerson can vote all right yet the wife of a junk could vote ric flair's can vote they can all vote we have all got

a dead guy wild eyed bag and hair brained idiots namrata dingleberry for brains this bucket of ass war profiteers war criminals a war hawk conmen and bamboozling schemers in tricksters frog there's a nicer postures grifters tool. for back and. balance are the least of your worries. alan kral until the ones you can actually trust. and as long as we're on the topic of good news in our insane prison system philadelphia city council voted to end a cash bail now if you're an idiot who has given any it like like me you've never given that much thought to bail i never thought that much about it but when you do you realize it's just a system designed to punish the poor because they're the only ones. the

only ones that can't play it and it keeps them in jail while they're awaiting trial which means they haven't been convicted yet like either the person deserves to be free or they don't what does whether they have two thousand dollars have to do with a way. to make much sense of the government saying you can get married if you have a birthmark shaped like the queen of monaco. why so basically are innocent until proven guilty ideal is actually guilty until proven rich enough to have botox on cash. apparently the up the cash bail system dates back to medieval times when it was created to help pay for the jails but nowadays no one in the. bill uses it much like other medieval torture devices like drawing and quartering and one where you crank the will and it pulls the guy's elbow skin over is. oh i'm

sorry one country one other country still charges people for their freedom the philippines and they also still use the elbow skin things i don't know which was. in england in canada the role of a bail bondsman a third party who agrees to pay a poor arrestees bail in exchange for more money down the line is a crime the way we treat criminals is a crime in other countries. good point is. that even pretending that all those arrested are criminals which most are to the point is freedom is not something you should charge someone for and a hundred ninety whatever countries realize that here's a short list of of the things that human beings should not be charged for when they live in volved and humane society getting out of jail health care clean water shelter checking a bag on an airplane you in the back line. all right using the internet in

a hotel you find out how to pay for the goddamn room. and you take a good jump all right. you know a lot of countries it's not uncommon to be charged for a public restroom but if i'm willing to take my situation here to a toilet aren't i doing you a favor. you should pay me. to go to prison break but since they could google and you tube are suppressing our content you can also follow me at steam at dot com at least camp or you can text the word redacted to four four four nine nine nine and free and quick we'll be back in ninety seconds. the bond market will not crash this time it will continue to go even lower and negative yields on various bonds will increase from the multi trillion dollars what the negative yielding sovereign debt now to even more multi multi multi million

dollars of negative yielding sovereign debt and we're going to go down the rabbit hole even further but it certainly smells like what the panic cash withdrawal in places like china and with the sell off and all these various markets and what the oil prices climbing higher in gold looking better that we've got here fast in reverse. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies to this with. polonium and some company else with they can find private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us. i wish you guys to go. buy been this is. what you. locals are ready to stand up for the basic human. right of access to water it's

about well what are loads of schools. it's about the redistribution. downwards. that's in american interest to not see any russians die in terrorist attacks as it is in russian interest to prevent any terrorist attacks in the united states or elsewhere in the world so i don't think there's any dispute on that in congress and i think maybe some of the posturing is frankly political as opposed to substantive. welcome back what a scene financial secrecy and bags released by the tax justice network among one hundred twelve countries the u.s. now ranks as the second largest tax haven on earth surpassing the cayman islands race to the bottom of the week. here now to explain more than our senior tax cheat

john of o'donnell's. total record i don't you know my taxes ok frisbee golf equipment and a face that are legitimate business expenses all right so there so john after that if things get this honestly you mean have things get this bad as it came and. we're pretty much all they're known for his money laundering and turtle burgers and we've surpassed them on one of those there. are people who are already fatter and dumber but now we have money better for corporations and for no eight eight ads after they know when. we like to eat. some of the ham hocks get laws right in here. john the u.s. has become like a like catnip for tax fraud all right embezzlement bribery money laundering things

need to change things are changing baby in just the past three years we've increased our market share of offshore financial services by fourteen percent we now account for over twenty two percent of the entire global market crushing. that kind of change huge corporations all over the world aren't paying into the societies that made them rich and we're facilitating that faffed it's it's a serious sign of decline is it is it i mean i decline to agree with you here. i mean evie's seen delaware's laws lately it's like bernie made of id on p.c.p. it's awesome one single story building in delaware is actually the registered address for more than a quarter million businesses around the world again crushing. where. crossing head look to us is actively helping to shift the tax burden away from the

the richest entities to corporations on a global scale and it's hurting countless people know what's not i mean according to the tax justice network financial secrecy provided by the us has caused untold harm to the ordinary citizens of foreign countries whose elites abuse the united states as a bolthole for looted well. yeah that's awful i don't know i mean a bolt hole sounds pretty cold. mean hiding place. i thought i meant a glory over a lightning bug. writing get on aid to. iraq. i don't know so why sceptically is the us number two is attacked well a major reason is that we don't comply with the o.e.c.d. common reporting standards and i'll give you one hundred dollars if you can tell me

what o.e.c.d. stands for organization for economic cooperation and development yet how could you possibly know that. this is only a dollar no no it's not it's a hundred dollars and it's a tax write off. anyway because the us doesn't use o.e.c.d. common reporting standards money held in us banks and institutions will not automatically need to be reported to the account holders tax authorities as it would if it were in one of the more than one hundred countries that thus far have agreed to begin automatically exchanging tax relevant account. information so our laws actually set up to actively launder money yeah they are which makes it crazy that we're only the number two tax haven because it is still number one. give us a couple years where cromer produce more zero and then all you'll have left is juggling and roger ver and his forehand is i want to.

thank. everyone in new and exciting ways for more on this let's go to our truth. i was just thrown out of church for arguing with the reverend because he disagreed when i said being poor was one of the seven deadly sins being poor of course replaced the seventh. mostly because americans were confusing it with this type of swath and there's no reason to drag something that cute and cuddly into this. well you'd literally have to drag them because they're slowest. but long also implies an unwillingness to work a characteristic that our government seems to think applies to millions of americans who rely on social safety net programs for food health care and now

housing because the department of housing and urban development is considering work requirements for federal housing assistance this latest proposal comes on the heels of an already planned six billion dollars budget cut to the agency and agency headed by an overdose poster child whose opinion we're supposed to value now because he drove by a housing project once and because he said this inspirational nugget i think. yeah i don't think that's how we were. but i'll give him the benefit of the doubt and try that we've been black. being black is just the state of my. being black is just a state of. ok how on what the. ok this isn't surprising. but what is

surprising is this is ministrations failing to realize that most people who receive federal rental assistance already work or try to. and what he could mean sixty nine percent of god elderly non-disabled households using vouchers a form of federal assistance to find affordable housing for working or had work recently while an additional ten percent or likely already subject to work requirement under the temporary assistance for needy families program that means hug plan to require residents to work up to thirty two hours a week is just another hurdle for people who haven't been able to find work because they are the primary caretaker of a parent or child with disabilities or an ex of bender or because public transportation in their town is as common as people who showed up for their six am work shift in philly after winning the super bowl. all

that brown gangling soaked and formed a better social safety net than most low income americans have. that's going to cause multiples also grain rents for millions of people who receive housing aid including the two hundred most vulnerable residents. if you receive hide assistance chances are your rent is based on income adjusted for the fact you pay for child care have disability expenses or if you're old enough to remember doing cold war era nuclear bomb drills in school. the old cold war not the new one. but was puzzle a just proposal your rent is based on your gross income as if none of those deductions exist you know the same way hud forgot you exist when they wrote this proposal or the same way that she forgot to walk on stage during the republican presidential debates. hadn't worked with wire been stressful. safety net

programs doesn't mean if they don't compensate for the benefits of the safety net to lose in the process and while most of the people who rolled in safety net programs already have jobs they aren't enough to lift them out of poverty partially because of the us minimum wage had kept up with the economy many low wage earners could earn double what they're making now nearly ten million people rely on federal housing assistance it's not their fault that gentrification is walling up affordable housing or that hud is chronically underfunded or that the agency failed to enforce fair housing act standards to prevent the discrimination that locks families i'm safe in affordable housing for decades. housing shouldn't be a privilege in this country it's a human right. but at least parson is making good on his promises it will not be my intention to do anything to benefit any any american reporters i'm

sure now let me get redacted tonight that's our show but i have a lot of comedy shows coming up in austin houston pittsburgh washington d.c. and other cities go to redacted tor dot com for details or to vote for your city to be added and don't accept i'm good i mean. despite its time history. you know has dominated international sport however this was about the lives of those champions from. you know. when i'm not sure were. you born there with the ball for me just remember. this guy is from what were your mother's shoes the first to be reserved for your you were the first some of you to

limp with nine hundred fifty two with suited seats of concentration camp prisoners from slime soldiers for sure but it isn't that good there is corruption because you are much closer to the ship. because you are more significant for the one for yourself or with a bit out of you if you think that we are going to. be there since your first rule for through personal. enthusiasm you do when you're at the ocean we're going to bring your world where there's sure we are and there will be a rising star can we. make this manufacture consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling

classes protect themselves. when the crime larry go around the sun be the one person told. to ignore middle of the room sick. leave. the real news is really. riled up with close to the best out of georgia. to have to hide so it's a pain to perform i had to actually prepare myself to die. he did what to say when i asked him. was not such. a slow and homo stuff her clown. this country was. really

good so don't say. so we'll see if you think. what. was it he could with us there was just that yes kept the patient. education going there a couple. b.s. i hear ya. ya. i. was.

the headline international the south korean president says he is ready to accept an invitation to visit to pyongyang the north korean leader and the latest sign of relations between the two countries. syria and israel that damascus says. it was targeting iranian troops in the country. less than a month before general elections far right supporters clashed with police in. a racially motivated shooting last week on the program we hear from the increasingly popular right wing.

the people who use it. and this is the only we. thank you joining us here on r.t. international on this saturday we have your latest world headlines the south korean president says he is ready to accept an invitation to visit pyongyang from the north korean leader if conditions at the invitation was delivered by kim jong un's sister who was attending the winter olympics in south korea she is the first member of north korea's leading family. to visit the south since the one nine hundred fifty s. she met with president moon for a toltz that ended up last in three hours and the opening ceremony of the winter games also soul signs of thawing ties between the north and south the country's

teams marching together. the recent friendly relations between the two countries all widely seen as a breakthrough that south of the country's health talks and at least two years. the french defense minister says that's insufficient evidence of chlorine gas to use by the syrian government and that contradicts previous claims by a number of western politicians including france's foreign minister. when they're designed guess you. do.

absolutely. bizarre. the french defense minister saying that there is no reliable evidence to suggest that korean was used by the syrian government contradicting what we heard just a few days ago from the french foreign minister who had stated that that chlorine attack it been carried out by the syrian government. in the syrian government has been accused of carrying out or in attacks in areas in the country in january it was accused of doing so by a number of groups including the syrian observatory for human rights which some people have questioned the organization which is run by a businessman in the u.k. and also by the white helmet so voluntary group which some people have accused of aiding with the terror executions that have been carried out in syria by taking

away the bodies at the end of the execution will the u.s. government has also spoken out about these alleged attacks in syria with the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson when he was in france last month same regardless of who carried out these attacks the blame was on russia whoever conducted that. russia ultimately burrs responsibility for the victims and. countless others targeted with chemical weapons since russia became involved in syria well the secretary of defense in the u.s. james mattis actually went even further than that suggesting that it's not just chlorine attacks but also that sarin has been used in other chemical agent in these attacks although he did also admit that they were in your dreams that could back up those claims now the u.n. is of course invested. waiting the allegations all these attacks in syria on some

of the areas in the country but it remains to be seen whether the probes will ever be able to identify any concrete evidence as to whether those attacks indeed took place in who indeed was behind them and of course whether they will be able to agree and find a result that is objective enough for everybody to agree on. the international probe into syrian chemical weapons stalled late last year until november it was handled by a body called the joint investigative mechanism that probe or shut down when russia vetoed a u.n. resolution to extend its mandate moscow criticized the body for using second hand sources and failing to send a weapon experts to the site of the alleged chemical incidents in syria now back then russia drafted a u.n. resolution calling for a new investigative body to be created the document says the experts must visit the sites of the alleged attacks to collect samples and conduct eyewitness interviews

but the plan collapsed after the u.s. said it would block that resolution or defense analyst ivan eland thinks the issue has clearly become politicized. the problem is with these things is that one never knows for sure there are multiple sides on the battlefield it takes a long time to get the investigations done and then a stray should always likes to. put on a tough. one is we don't care who did this but the syrian government is responsible for it that's kind of a strange statement i think if they accuse russia and syria of something that either didn't happen or somebody else did maybe their evidence is not great that's probably the reason they don't have anything to back it up and they do it they don't want. any independent investigation. tensions are high in italy with less than

a month to go until general elections hundreds of supporters of a far right party clashed with police in the central italian city of much after just a week before much at i thought suffered a racially motivated shooting which left six injured. and. the shooter was targeting african migrants police found a copy of hitler's mind and his apartment as well as a flag with a far right symbol the shooter said he wanted to avenge the death of an italian woman and i gently killed by a nigerian asylum seeker. the incident has me if you will concerns about the rise of neo fascist sentiment in italy national as well as foreign media have been weighing in the shooter's lawyer told journalists that his client was greeted as a hero in prison and police say racial and religious violence has soared in recent

years for example we can now is show you the disturbing numbers from the italian police force hate crimes have jumped more than ten fold in just four years and the issue is raising concern at the highest level at least the justice minister revealing he was threatened when he visited the shot victims in hospital in much errata. even the control. i received threats against me and my family but i was the first is to go away when the time comes to take action so a. video has appeared in the media showing the matter at a shooter shaking hands with the leader of the right wing league annoyed more over the shooter stood as a candidate for the party at local elections last year and here on r.t. we invited a leader nor councillor to debate the issue. if this guy did what he did he became a creaminess so we are very strict. and

our. we pons and sit in the next election the people will use it to vote in this is the only way we act any violent act carried out by an immigrant it seems like the response is is also considerable surely this is not good for the country as a whole how do you feel about what's been reported the rise of nationalism and fascism in italy we are just telling you the people we need lo we need content of account to be we cannot lose our identity because italy if these mood of immigration will rise and we continue we lose. the ally of your party the former silvio berlusconi he's called migrants a time bomb now is fairly aggressive rhetoric it's only going to further divide

people you say your weapon is your pension should we be trying to bring people together we found always the right way to act together and when we have been in the government the last time in two thousand eighty two two thousand and eleven we practically stopped the arrival of illegal immigrants in two thousand and eleven we had only. four thousand a rival in one year in last year we had the more than one hundred forty thousand arrival of illegal immigrants in italy so you can see the difference and this is a bomb but because the most of those people are illegal they will never go get the . paper. refugee because just the five maximum ten percent of them is a real refugee. and this news just in here in our international syrian air defense has now responded to new israeli raids in the capital damascus israel.
