did those spontaneous protests could answer the question of what they were against but couldn't say what they stood for that was the key problem they didn't have a plan and therefore allowed themselves to be used but i have no right to judge people for taking part in the protests. during the uprising the protesters in kiev received strong support from both u.s. and e.u. officials top american politicians was in addressing crowds of people the demonstrations at some point and even distributing bread european officials also involve themselves in the ghostly oceans between the two opposing sides but now brussels appears to have become disillusioned with ukraine's ability to perform and deliver these reforms but perhaps the latest illustration of that the e.u. is reportedly has decided to shut down a border checkpoint scheme with ukraine which was supposed to be customs proceedings and boost trade we discuss the current situation with political analyst martin mccauley. ukraine from brussels point of view for the american point of view is an important state these countries wish to keep ukraine as a partner as

a friend and that's a lot and but they're finding it increasingly difficult the european union and western europe becoming increasingly tired of ukraine and exasperated at the lack of progress. in certain areas the main problem is corruption within the government within the state the elites. are in fact siphoning off some of the money for themselves or awarding contracts in the new self and so on european union has been . hoping that ukraine would begin to limit corruption within the state for years well two decades now so therefore very slow progress has been achieved and unless a chief. ukraine of the european union the western world will not come closer together most of mccauley without ups and that sums up our bullets into for now more our seat or call more for me in thirty i'm kevin oh and thanks

a silly for watching r.t. international. that's geysers financial survival guide liquid assets not those that you can convert into caste quite easily. to keep in mind l. ast if i'm into a place of better watch guys or for. fifty years ago breaking within two cons again as a sleeping pill the dust is what i need because the two of us shared this thought the scientific sweat terrible but not on this is shown in dutch one football club world here not the war then build them up across europe victims are still

a thing legal battles demanding at least some compensation in something in two ways first will the physical times itself as well that the consumer mind that the people who actually take this crime has never been able to justice and there has been a couple of. politicians to do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to go on to be press this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. fresh it.

greetings and salutations well grab your butter and pop your popcorn hawk watchers because there appears to be more than one collusion investigation taking place here in washington d.c. you see while t m z sorry c.n.n. is busy ambushing innocent trump supporters in their homes for sort of but not really in any possible way conspiring with indicted russian internet trolls a major allegation of collusion is creeping out of the federal communications commission yes the inspector general of the f.c.c. is rather quietly open investigation into chairman. and his actions surrounding these singular broadcasting three point nine billion dollar deal to buy tribune media according to fortune the investigation is focused on pis decision to relax rules limiting the ownership of television stations by a single company you see the rule change the pie champion the melting at least push

through created a loophole that allowed for sinclair's accurate acquisition of tribune media which ultimately put sinclair channels in more than seventy per cent of u.s. households that's a lot congressman frank pallone out of new jersey told the media that for months i've been trying to get to the bottom of the allegations about chairman pi's relationship with sinclair sinclair broadcasting i'm grateful to the inspector general that he has decided to take up this important investigation so was conspiring including well there appears to be some fire and that's all that smoke a new york times investigation published last last august uncovered several meetings and correspondences between pi his staff and sinclair executives including one taking place just days before pi took over as f.c.c. chairman. now that is the appearance of alleged collusion i hope all you russia get

out there are taking notes this looks like collusion this doesn't look like illusion now let's start watching the harks. it looks like. it's. at the bottom if you. like you know that i got. this. week so. welcome everybody to watch and i wrote the story and that happened while at the very surprised that's retired behind you great job. wow you know it to me when i look at the it brings up a lot of questions not not about the actions but more about you know we know we're here in washington you live here for a little bit your followers

a little but you and i both know that the collusion between you know corporate lobbyists and corporate entities and people in positions of power here in washington is pretty much a daily occur well there would be no restaurants open in the city right of washington d.c. you know when there is so get here if there wasn't collusion and so what's interesting about i think this investigation is why why was why wouldn't the inspector general of the f.c.c. start looking into. his interactions with sinclair in light of this big deal with them in light of these you know him kind of paving the way through this vote yeah you know and while it is unclear right now the extent of the inspector general's investigation you know how deep it goes or even you know where there was a time when i doubt it's happening i mean they're going to let's take it out is how far how long before he took the office was a premeditated illusion right was a large ad. the dental collusion or what is interesting i think one of the reasons

is that this is suddenly got a magnifying glass and for a member has been very vocal you know he's like the town have referred of the f.c.c. might not like our rules are here today he's always liked that he's saying it's helpful to treat yourself you know whole word turns are from nowhere and less regulation and that's kind of our feel you know it's interesting because when one calls for an investigation this is going to been going since the boat back and bill bunbury one calls for the circus did november of two spokesperson representing mr pipes so the allegations of favoritism were baseless and said for many years german pie has called on the f.c.c. to update its media ownership regulations the chairman is sticking to his long held views now raise interesting thing yeah this is not he believes it's not he's being influenced to do this i think it really gives what he believes the corporate media should just kind of run amok and there shouldn't f.c.c. should regulate as much as it doesn't so if that's what someone believes and that falls in line with like let's say a corporate c.e.o. like the head of sinclair is that collusion or just like minded individuals that's

what i think this guy's going to have to sort out. it's tough it's tough with me he's just like oh i hope loving you is that's how i fare and really i'm playing he made it up to this position of power and authority i think is believe my another word for has believes might be his pocketbook good point i think there is money i mean anybody want nobody nobody is that bold that number is well. comedy a daily caller video about net neutrality would prove for you to. not the idea i want for a communications to you so the part of these with this mergers or time of billions of dollars so even if you got like a pittance out of that that's a large amount of money and he received any kind of payment any kind of kickbacks or favors all of that and everything that happened because. into question or world war world the standard code of revolving door in d.c.

will be kicked back a favor happened when he gets out of office you know where is it is it because liberty was a use of rise of the warrior so you know could it be that thing like oh you know a couple years after you leave office suddenly you're working for sinclair for us for us it's incredible though how sinclair media operates that they're not this is not a company that's exactly running around you know getting any awards for how they treat their employees the f.c.c. and the justice department are pretty widely expected to approve you know this whole three billion dollar merger now according to the times the company has a history of cutting staff and shaving costs by requiring stations to share news coverage in that way reducing unique local content and it's required stations to air conservative leaning segments including law and order features from its terrorism alert. so what they're doing is feeding it keeping keeping local politicians from being questioned on their and their stations because they have to pay someone to go to the city council meetings and actually know what's going on

why not just do what radio stations are touring which is hey we got one d.j. of york and they make a list and then you play it at the heart of using that same idea they don't actually care about the media they don't care about making it more conservative or under making it a better laze and last bias they just want to be biased specifically in the way that they cut corners and reduce the amount of voices of them over reporters you have out there were certain about stuff the babies were born with or follow this investigation sure goes that's real clear. so what does a south korean evangelical cult leader some upstate new york county officials and a biblical college have to do with newsweek magazine and why are newsweek executives so concerned when newsweek journalists try to find out on february twentieth seven newsweek journalist posted a piece entitled why is the manhattan d.a. looking at newsweek's ties to a christian university it began with probably one of the most peculiar. here and biting notes from the editors i've ever seen in it they describe executives and

journalists being fired for doing their jobs breaches and journalistic ethics and the possible harassment of confidential sources after threatening to quit they were allowed to publish the story saying that quote this story was written and edited tuesday free from interference from company of executives what they found was that the manhattan district attorney's office had been investigating financial ties between newsweek's parent company newsweek media group formerly called i b t media and the biblical and theological college called all of the university all of it university of theological college and seven area was paid over two point seven million dollars by newsweek for quote research and development apparently for use of their so-called proprietary design assistants and computer resources and if you're wondering why a bible college would be the go to for an eighty year old venerated news magazine you wouldn't be the only one turns out not one not two but at least five high level executives at newsweek media group were directly involved in the university and

were members of a religious group known as the community that many like into a cold and has ties to the university and there's more to come turns out newsweek was giving free ad space to an upstate new york community that all of the university wanted to build a satellite countess in but was struggling to obtain permits and tax exemptions it remains to be seen just how deep this conspiracy between them goes or if the goal was cash or eternal salvation but i do know that this story isn't going away and that the problems at newsweek are legitimate because i write about it in newsweek while does pretty wildly this whole story is just dynamic and we've been watching a play out now for like the last couple weeks yes it is very strange very strange who. loses bet. like the movie the paper you know it's like oh yeah i d like you

know for full disclosure you worked at newsweek long before years ago in one thousand and three i worked in the international division was one of the cars this and short time and that and so when i was there it was still owned by the washington post. and i have no idea what this group is like but then bremer knows where to get it was a really good so what is that or what is the angle here it's essentially that they were using newsweek to curry you know to basically so ads true communities they want to build this this. university into so like ok we can kind of what part of the sweet deal is you can advertise for free in newsweek and that kind of thing but the know you're going to do so that they called the community which sounds like you know the new hit drama on a.b.c. next fall yeah the community what is the community. like watch it the community is a evangelical group a religious group started by

a gentleman named david yang david yang is the founder of the elevate university and has ties to in south korea south korea a pastor or priest evangelical he has ties to reverend sung. and if you don't remember them you'll remember that the moon used it was known as the moonies back in the day he would do these mass so at a how does that translate to like i b t's over ship of c.n.n. to. young stars of newsweek pardon me ok so all of that is owned by this david yang who is this. religious leader from south korea with connections to calls he often. people who are in part of the religion say he's the second coming well yeah old.
