fend for yourself dude well i mean the u.k. is kind of similar right the whole northern area the country they keep discussing should we build a railway to the north for twenty years including the people from manchester and birmingham and sheffield should we include them into our economy in london and for twenty years i've been having this debate and there's still this division going on . the chinese are saying you know what we're going to grow the economy by actually making it inclusive economy and building infrastructure appropriately yes so they're basically there they're bringing in the west and a lot of naysayers and the western world the western economy the likes of you know the. academia economists from new york have always liked their plan for high speed rail but they've been building across china saying the peasants will never be able to afford it but apparently according to the data from this past year that they peasants are affording it so it is actually becoming viable and people are using it because their incomes are going up because we've outsourced all our jobs there

right maybe they'll build the stuff on the railway system right here at the cars the report well don't go away stay right there a little break when we come back we're actually going to go to china using the magic of television and talk with someone in china say right there. most money for the sport the least you know because in most of the snow more than one of them something. beautiful yes good news person talking to push. him over the i'm close to them is my feel to my gym i do you know on the on the grounds of the star in your focused. surfing

demeanor will some day in cinemas along with the sport of the p.b.s. dog to the us vs the us little league. book of citizenship and tell him would someone please feel free to chose to go full steam as a policeman yes just impossible for most of them so just to think oh well let me put a yeah. that would usually look awful the nation as we've seen when you do see chelsea as i was telling me of something good that you know what it will mean it will someone to be so full. of light from many clubs over the years so i know the game and so i gots. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money killion a loan to spend spend be true to the twenty million one player. it's an experience

like nothing else want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy my great so will transfer. and thinks this minute. fifty years ago britain and we've been to come together and as a sleeping pill a dozen pieces would turn me in because the two of us would share the sauna to fix what terrible but not on. board but will be here not. too much across europe. legal battles demanding at least some compensation in something two ways first will the physical times itself as well that the concert mind that the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been the justice and there's been a couple. welcome

back to the kaiser report imax kaiser time now to go to shanghai and speak with dan collins of the china money report dan welcome back a max hey dan let me let me ask you mr trump administration first national defense strategy elevates china to its number one threat it claims that china practices predatory economics and calls for sending in the marines it sounds like what the frick is going on down. well yeah i heard i read that and i kind of put that into to area but i call it economic and military economically speaking china is a neo mercantile is the economy we talked about it before they're going to do bigger than your economic policies they're going to set up their own tariff barriers i mean any try to import here something is twenty five percent duty export

the united states it's one or two percent so china does towards for its you know does what is it in its own interests japan and south korea did the same thing to united states for decades in less detroit in michigan hobbled in the steel columns of pennsylvania broke. but now when china does it china's too big interest twenty chaney's for every japanese so now the chinese are such an economic juggernaut in terms of economic rivalry i think absolutely it is the number one economic rivalry with no country can come there i mean europe is kind of a you know look at look at the technicals you know tech scene in europe is almost nonexistent it's completely. you know it's clear it's really not a challenge at this point russia it's strong militarily but economically still heavily dependent on oil and gas china is really the main rival economically speaking to the united states now what it can be i would put in there that you know the trade deficit which president trump is rightly concerned both about three

hundred say five billion dollars a year united states half of that is done by american multinational companies that have set up in china so is trying or are just enemy i don't think so i think their arrival also an opportunity but i think america's number one threat is itself all right dan you've touched on a few things there stuff mercantile is basically is the strategy of winner take all . goes back to the nineteenth century and when the world is on the gold standard and that the over the air people had to make good on their i'll buy. and there was some elegance too and some balance to it that there was some competition but in a world of purified currency were these countries are able to print without any backing like gold yeah have a different strategy emerge and of course china has been pretty cagey and pegging their currency to the dollar which has allowed them to export their way to becoming

this huge global dominating economy at the expense of american jobs but the americans are insulated by this because the prices of stuff keep going down so even though i my job has been destroyed the cost of my clothes and electronics keeps going down so i don't really sense or feel the fact that i'm having my lifestyle my standard of living crushed so dan the trigger point when you need talk about this as always people say there's a quid pro quo there's a symbiotic relationship that these two things are never countries aren't going to divorce the relationship between hoarding dollars versus exporting etc is that relationship going to be severed at some point and is there a catalyst for it is it happening now down. yeah i mean eventually with all the money printed your first two makes of eventually the wheels fall off i expected japan expected i suspect that a major currency crisis in japan years ago still hasn't happened united states you

saw the recent budget numbers that have come out where now predicting a deficit of one point three trillion dollars in twenty one thousand that's not twenty twenty five us twenty one thousand next next year we're going to produce those kinds of deficits in this kind of hot economy which is you know pretty good in the united states. in you know as a comparative been in the past decade but yeah when the when the wheels fall off the money printing i don't know we will see that you saw the chain you're going to three percent and i think bill gross out of pimco said well he said when the fed stops back from buying us who's left to buy. it let me put forward this idea here so the cold war under the reagan era the country that spent the most on military lost kind of ours a russia trying to keep up with the u.s. on military spending and that was guided their economy a lot of ways and they crumbled is this kind of interesting situation where you've

got america and china and the country that prints the most money is going to be the loser in the end or if i got that backwards your thoughts. well i've often compared united states to kind of a new soviet union the where the we keep printing money the military gets keeps getting bigger and bigger the new budget i refer to our spending increase on the military is larger than russia's entire defense budget so the military keeps getting bigger and bigger the money the welfare and social system keeps getting bigger with bigger and bigger. where the money printing stops you know that i think is going to end up with who has real assets and who has the real economy china china in a problem to its purposes has a real economy united states industrially speaking it's been good and when the reset happens you know i see it's going to be import dependent on almost everything with a declining currency which makes up for a nightmare scenario economically and of course when england was faced with a similar trade imbalance going back

a couple hundred years or so they shipped over a lot of opium to try to get the chinese hooked and to create a demand for opium the opium wars that are now on what can america say no or a china that they might want a side from just opium i was i think america's got that china wants dan well well you may have noticed that the united states is a huge importer of opiates from china and also we have opium wars in reverse while we were this is a catastrophe that we're losing on every front ok so what about the chinese mentor capital market they're also leading the u.s. now yes they are they did five of the ten largest deals this year if it went over forty billion dollars biggest one was eighty two sheen which is the uber of china and they actually bought china but a lot of money going into artificial intelligence here you have faced post plus and since time each got almost half a billion dollars these are the most advanced facial recognition companies in the world. in terms of economic development just keeps continuing continuing year so

a lot of climate change deniers of course wild disown the my following question china is building a polar silk road now that the ice caps are melting. you know even though there is a wide scale believe that that's impossible but they're actually building that polar silk road and correct. they absolutely came up with a white paper recently which countless books on people in shock and they want to do underneath the one below one road project in the maritimes of road they want to create a polar polar silk road so to speak as you mentioned they believe due to climate change that this row is opening up there always in most sixteen ships this way but if you envision a map looking down on the arctic and you're right you have the north closer russia and on the left you have the left coast you have the a west and the north and of course in canada but china would then if they open up that road they'd be able to ship from shanghai to say rotterdam in say twenty two hundred miles or about twenty

days so the north shipping route of white paper described the major benefits of this number one being shipping routes but number two they caught everyone's eyes with fisheries in oil and gas that their region is supposed to have twenty two percent of the world's oil and gas reserves so just china mention about it in the paper was a very friendly can i get let's work together guys economic or development all makes sense but i think it caught a lot of power especially in canada and russia nine states little bit worried was such a huge population resource hungry population looking into areas where there is very few people in iran or research now i dance china has begun cloning primates and when i read that story the first thing i thought of were the terra cotta army base and the you know thousands and thousands of these terror caught us soldiers. you know. china going to start breeding cloned armies says be

a concern dan. well you know yeah i don't know what current army is yet but you mentioned the crime it was pretty big scientific breakthrough first primates that have been cloned we can now clone these you know many different genetic genetically identical monkeys using human disease research so leaving the ethical part of that aside i mean this is kind of going to be a big breakthrough coming china but back here back to your comment. if you can call a primate you can define cloning a human being and they would be surprised that china is not experimented with. what is p. four by a lab and they open it up over there in china what what does that. other scientific i mean and you know another issue another thing we can point to the progress trying to make in science science life science areas for

a bio lab is the first lab and he sure they can work with the world's most deadly pathogens like it wallah it took over a decade for that land to get put in place but the first one easier is now in china . so yeah i mean it's. the level of science and technology cures really you know at the top now ok so what we're saying is that the high end of a developed country is infrastructure for technology and business in china is that surpassing other countries as well we're kind of suggesting areas that they buy all science and the infrastructure play financial maneuvers this is down no longer just the world's work outs the world's work bench or a warehouse they are now leapfrog into is the chinese middle class now i mean the idea was we're going to take our currency to the dollar and we're all going to work on slave wages until we dominate the global economy that we're going to dump the dollar and we're going to have three hundred million to a half a billion middle class consumers is that happening. it is happening but yes

they want to buy twenty twenty five they want to have like a wealthy middle class they call like one billion people with an income of twenty thousand dollars a year or more i think that's on track there are large pockets of population though that have not gotten the economic development train and is very concerned about that that's probably their number one concern too quick question stand the debt melt down we've talked about it many times is it happening or is it not happening. no sign of china dealt with debt meltdown and all the you know the banks are still you know the banks are still stayed on so why there's not a lot of transparency there but there's in terms of just general economics you're i see no signs of any debt issues in the economy going pretty strong there at the foreign reserves are once again climbing in january saw the r. and b. climb the fastest in forty years comment on that in twenty seconds yeah absolutely

the renminbi s. been skyrocketing since twenty teams faster than anyone's ever seen everybody's talking about it the bundestag has said they're going to put they have r. and b. and their reserves and it's going to be. currency they only hold one percent today renminbi of their reserves so imagine the pricing pressure on r. and b. as all the world's central banks turkey and r. and b. so they've got a cut off their call thanks so much for being on the kaiser report thanks max well that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with a mask as our states herbert well i thank our guest dan collins of the china money report the smartest guy over there the other races on twitter it's kaiser reports and. there it is now three hundred trillion dollars of wealth of the wealth in the world

today but i look at how much money we spend in the world the military. we just talk about a few more billion. save the lives of people around the world in doing this such a way that doesn't preach to us it was that much wealth in the united states that much will. the rest of the world is there an excusable for any person in the world today to go to the. what politicians do. i put themselves on the on the big get accept the reject. so when you want to be president. or something i want to be honest. it's a right to be for us that's what before us three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. first sit.

when you don't see. the gallic try to get a court to get what they need not through only ten space. let alone. said. claiming to know terminated that. you speak french. loser yes. let's send them all to new. scientists busy cut down towards. palestine is getting international recognition with the help of israel at least in the world of zoos i'm in bill fit to commission to do it lobbying for your humility

headline stories at this hour russia urges the u.n. security council to help resolve the crisis in the eastern region of syria thank you says foreign powers of creating help tearing the country apart. also ahead on the program the u.s. military is blamed for a health crisis on the portuguese island in the atlantic residence a pollution from an herb base has boosted cancer rates. and. i'm thirty four years old and i lived my whole life in trying to be dorothea right by the entrance of the american base both of my parents died of cancer when i was thirty three i was diagnosed with breast cancer. storms are each of

the german parliament a member of the anti immigration party launches an attack on the chancellor. around the clock across the world this is r.t. international from the team and myself you know neal a very warm welcome to the program our top story this hour the russian ambassador to the united nations has called for urgent action to resolve the humanitarian crisis in the rebel held region of eastern in syria addressing the security council he criticized the way the media and foreign powers have been influencing the situation. there is a massive psychosis in the mainstream media which is spread in same room as day after day it doesn't help to understand the situation. food the idea that there are

only hospitals in the east in which the tsunami and fighting against russia will continue to work to bring peace and stability to syria and cools and move the countries to do the same rather than creating havoc supports and you know in the region opponents now what we just heard was the russian ambassador to the united nations responding to what he characterized as a smear campaign now in the meeting was called in response to the situation in eastern guta that was a suburb of damascus located to the east of damascus and at this point it's an enclave of rebels and terrorist forces now there's been increasing hostilities in eastern guta as the syrian government is fighting to retake the city from terrorists russia was responding to some of the very heated words and accusations we heard from other countries in the chamber in the lead up to his remarks systematic targeting of civilians in disregard for human life the last twenty two

years old with a wife who is five months pregnant allow says we are waiting our turn to die attacks against hospitals constitute will crimes the regime wants to keep bombing and gassing these four hundred thousand people and the assad regime is counting on russia to make sure the security council is unable to stop their suffering now in his remarks to the fifteen member body in the bed he was very clear that situations in eastern guta are rather dire however the situation is much more complex than it's being made out to be that essentially civilians are being used as human shields by the terrorists and it essentially these are terrorists the aldosterone other forces that are in control of eastern ghouta and have set up shop there and isn't this what the international community should be doing should they not be fighting against these terrorist groups to point out that some of the more extreme allegations being made against russia and syria are being made by the forces that just leveled the city of raka. good. by the way the u.s.

led coalition leveled syria's rucka this is in the recent post should be forgotten so fast when it happened there was no crime for some reason nobody demanded international law to observe the. let's just reveal what happened when the us led coalition reach up the syrian city of raka. was still a thirty year we were forced to leave our homes because of ice and when we returned we found everything we could use to rubble and look at all the devastation what rock is a ghost city ninety minutes when live in the midst of destruction we feel completely abandoned everything around has been destroyed. life years or book the city and rubble have to be to remove the debris with all

money there's no running water so we have to in. the u.s. coalition cause the destruction of records and has a responsibility to rebuild the city we need to help with restoring the water supply and clearing the rubble. i found of mine on the streets near my house my friend and i tried to detonate it from a distance but it didn't go off we thought the mine didn't work and walked towards it it's exploded my friend was killed i survived. as the meeting went on and different speakers took the floor and addressed the u.n. security council was very clear that everyone agreed that the life of civilians in eastern guta was was of top concern however there were clear differences about who is to blame and that certain countries felt as if the situation was just squarely

on the shoulders of syria and russia there was disagreement on a sensually what what the russian ambassador characterized as a smear campaign against russia. but the u.n. earlier call for an end to the fighting in eastern kentucky calling the rebel enclave near damascus hell on earth earlier i spoke to a representative of doctors without borders and the situation there. we have six. nations in the last few days. and the number of wounded people has increased dramatically in the last. few days reporting. two hundred. people. are the biggest problem for the moment the ones that still function. supplies are fighting just going on

medical supplies some sort of agreement that. these medicines and especially i repeat surgical supplies and statics can enter into the. surgeons. can do that my saving work r t senior correspondent who has reported extensively from syria's war zones takes a look at who is in control of eastern kentucky. east ghouta is not a nice place to live in surrounded as it is and see a constant war zone within and without. islam the army of islam holds most of east ghouta as the name may imply

these guys crusading for democracy and when they aren't busy killing each other they share power with nuestra while kiat in syria and a number of smaller groups. these are ruthless people they cage civilians literally put woman and the elderly in metal cages and hoisted them onto roofs where they left them a literal human shield made of civilians to protect themselves their fighters from strikes these same people jihad ists who say they're fighting to free the country from outside then turn their guns on protesters when they day complain about the jihad ists themselves.

these infamous incident being one of them a crowd of demonstrators fired upon by rebel fighters john kerry himself once called the rebels holding east ghouta a subgroup of isis and al qaeda remember what the u.s. . led coalition deeds to isis in mosul. well it's kind of as if yes. they leveled and then ties city thousands of civilians dead yet they say there's no choice the terrorists were sponsible by using human shields

a sad fact of war two billion casualties are a fact of life in this sort of situation do you agree that some of the the high level of i think ridiculous standard that we had previously is now created this. behavior by isis that they now realize if they take human shields they're going to avoid being struck and that actually this is adding to the problem congresswoman i do believe they understand our sensitivity to civilian casualties and they are exploiting that and i do agree that as we move into these urban environments it is in become more and more difficult to apply extraordinarily high standards for the things that we're doing although we will try for some reason these time around they seem to be avoiding any mention of who it is that controls east ghouta all but the same job that's when these limits blindly shelled damascus every day and slaughter more and more civilians well that's war when the syrian army responds.
