a lot of our victims were children when they were abused but they're now adults and have associated problems as a result of that abuse including suicidal tendencies mental health issues drug and alcohol addiction the author of scandal led to a national outcry when the scale of the child abuse was first exposed back in twenty twelve two years later an independent inquiry found that for decades through systemic failures in policing and social services the sexual abuse of children went on right under the noses of the or thora tease gangs of men the majority of whom were of pakistani origin preyed on mostly white girls aged from eleven to fifteen many of the victims thought they were in relationships with their abusers when the crimes were uncovered local authorities in yorkshire were accused of failing to tackle the problem partly through fear of being branded racist on the part of the

authorities in their cases they were actually saying that these girls made a lifestyle choice it's about the fact that the authorities didn't want to be branded racist the ring leaders of the rod room grooming going last year i think the distant relatives of mine but you know what it doesn't change the responsibility that people like me have on tackling this particular issue so i've been campaigning against child sexual exploitation and street gang grooming gangs who are predominantly of a pakistani origin for over ten years they investigate and interrupt their abuse or has cost ten million pounds so far four individuals have been convicted eighteen have been charged and thirty eight have been arrested no one senior has been held to account and with just seventeen percent of the victims interviewed so far all this. may just be the tip of the iceberg. the

russian trolls are in the spotlight again this time u.s. politicians and mainstream media are accusing them of spreading havoc in american society after the florida school shooting he's killed him open explains when informing us about the alleged danger of russian bots and internet trolls american politicians have been very clear about the intent behind russian conspiracies and sinister operations they want to sow division among the american people and one issue they have latched on to is the second amendment gun control debate apparently the russians are very big fans of our second amendment they don't particularly want to second members of their own but to really glad that we have one the russians would be thrilled if we were doing nothing but killing each other every day and sadly we are according to facebook's security chief the russians don't favor gun control or oppose it they just want to fight americans against each other and make sure that we don't see eye eye to. the ads and accounts appeared to focus on

amplifying divisive social and political messages across the india logical spectrum touching on topics from l g p t matters to race issues to immigration to gun rights so russian trolls are inflaming emotions over any sensitive issue guns included but it looks like we can locate some russian bots not only on facebook but who else is inflaming sentiments over that oh so sensitive second amendment will take away your second amendment which we will never allow to happen don't take away is to provide for some people that might be obvious but trump isn't the only one selling division many in legacy media love mass shootings. you guys are loving. others threatening messages against gun owners a billboard in kentucky has been vandalized with the words kill the n.r.a.

that must be the work of russian trolls also if you follow the premise it seems like the mainstream american media is also working for the russians left leaning media outlets immediately calling for more gun control right leaning outlets focusing on mental health connecticut governor dan malloy says president trump and republicans have blood on their hands after the deadly massacre in florida they call it gun control but it's not it's people control when any organization spends ten of millions of dollars promoting the interests of gun corporations to influence what happens in our elections then yes our democracy is a little broken by americans on both sides of the issue are now screaming at the top of their lungs from the highest levels of government to child survivors of mass murder accusations are flying everywhere now if this is all just some big plot from moscow we really have a big problem here in america. i have been

a doing this professionally in terms of you know this type of comedy for thirty years now and there's thirty years i think before the russian part came along they've been saying the same thing every single time in my native florida so i know something about that so if the russians are claiming to take credit for involving themselves and insinuating themselves in this particular argument they're too late because this has been going on for thirty years and nothing's changed. fourteen police officers have been injured in clashes in the ukraine's parliament after protesters poked at them with stones car tires a mullet of cocktails. with. demonstrators there trying to break into the parliament building insisting on speaking with the speaker of the house there are conflicting reports on their

a full gamut of emotions from joy to anger and back again sometimes within the days sometimes even within an hour take the news cycle this weekend for example we're on one hand we got the not surprising but seriously compete in the backward misplaced priorities of his country get anymore misplaced and backwards news when the n.r.a. is handing out c.c. chairman and award for courage yes courage at c pac on friday the n.r.a. awarded pi the charlton heston courage under fire award for his courageous actions storming the hill of net neutrality and planting the flag of freedom for all telecommunications giants near and far the n.r.a. in courage seriously three words i never thought would escape these lips but they thankfully this weekend's news cycle also brought us the thank goodness there might still be some good judgment in the world news that

a federal judge in louisiana on friday revoked a permit for energy transfer partners by you bridge crude oil pipeline yes federal judge shelley dick dealt a serious setback to energy transfer partners construction of the seven hundred fifty million dollars one hundred sixty two mile long pipeline running crude from lake charles to st james louisiana in the order judge dick wrote that she was prohibiting further work on the pipeline in order to prevent further irreparable harm until this matter can be tried on the merits in case you forgot keeping notes at home energy transfer partners were the ones who brought us that stunning display of corporate and community center g. that was the dakota access pipeline that i'm sure you can remember that you see every new cycle brings a little good brings a little bad. and it also brings a whole lot of watching the hawks. but what if.

it looks like. the bottom. like you know that i got. this. we. are going to watch the dark side i robot for and on capital. and that's that's a good way to look at it well. you know the good news about of the news cycle we die i've been there with the police here and watching it it can be depressing and it can be very uplifting like this week. crate pipeline stops you know that's good news. getting an award for courage courage his courage was what making goofy videos on the internet and doing what his corporate overlords

tell him to do very courageous so courageous her courage is the right term snyder the executive director of the american conservative union while introducing r.c.c. chairman pyaar during this awards ceremony said algy pike is the most courageous heroic person that i know he has received kawas death threats as property has been invaded by the george soros crowd and his family has been abused in different ways and of course you don't want to be one going after people spam leaders and we should definitely not do that and will endanger other doors that. could avoid if you go after the earnings small business owners but. not neutrality on everybody and by inflicting net neutrality on everyone ultimately we're all going to pay more for basic streaming services because the corporate overlords can make an extra buck off it thanks to the courage gee that was some career warm courage courage could see what's really funny is. does he get to keep oh no which is the way or yes so

the award which is the. fire word yet how about we give that to everyone that has ever been on the internet just throw it out there so good i want to grab one courage under fire or so last so they ever go. so what it is is it's a handmade kentucky long gun but it's housed at the n.r.a. as museum so the every not only gives you and gives you an award but doesn't let you take it home keeps it in their own ok sure previous winners have included the then rebel vice president pants. do you know any former malarky county sheriff sheriff david clark which again is what shared david clark took some real slings and arrows well you know the thing is when he was a would you ever except in the war that have that is the history going into it. you know when you look at it it's kind of a thing of like don't you think it's a little bit about timing giving everything going on in the news cycle right now to

be like accepting an award from the n.r.a. when you've already like upset a bunch of people with neutrality now you're going to upset like all the people with like accepting this what timing that is anti an array of evil i think the idea that five million people that the very n.r.a. somehow represents firearm owners is laughable that's a good point it's a guy who's already under investigation for colluding with corporations to circumvent the law and now they're the people who are literally want to hand the hand money to politicians to circumvent what the public out what the majority of the public actually wants on safety and firearms and all of that congrats. on the good side of the good side of the news i like the fact that the judge stepped up and said no you guys didn't get the right permits for this you guys you know we need to rethink the building of this pipeline across this beautiful pristine louisiana some really good news to see you know super and part of it was this thing

with the the ruling. so there's this suit against this is sort of taking. the earth justice yes see them on january eleventh as a staff yeah they'd sooner or later there's a whole ton of people behind this lawsuit. just as you go that's going to us army corps of engineers you have the. basin keeper probably didn't writes about from louisiana do you lose it across first producers association as well as the gulf restoration network the water keepers a lot names and. kind of part of this party to this lawsuit the judge didn't know. earth justice is pretty good about it yeah i know that they there was a quote there the attorney told the media the court's ruling recognizes the serious threat this pipeline poses to the. basin i think about one of the country's ecological and cultural crown jewels for now at least it's safe from this company's

incompetence and greed for now still. some good stuff. sometimes a crack in the door and that is what many fearful of world war three are hoping for with news that north korea has left the door open to possible talks with the united states despite the new sanctions announced last friday r t s n l a champ is that the latest. evening tie in tab so according to treasury secretary steve there are now as many as four hundred fifty sanctions on north korea and half of those have been imposed in just the past year alone since trump took office but as ms evolved to trump the president's daughter and the senior advisor led the american delegation at the olympic closing ceremonies in north korea allegedly ready to come to the negotiating table with america however this information was relayed by south korean officials there is yet to be official statements from the north but president trump is of course speaking on the issue of new sanctions that

aimed to further cripple kim's economy listen to what he said earlier today during a governor's luncheon he hosted at the white house. who's joined we probably launched a five hundred four billion dollars last year and three five hundred four billion. you think that president xi is unique. he's helping us with north korea who by the way wants to talk as of last night you heard that they want to talk. and we want to talk also only under the right conditions otherwise would not talk you know they've been talking for twenty five years or the president should have solved this problem before i got here and they've been talking for twenty five years and you know what happened nothing and the president has been clear though they're going forward he will not accept a nuclear north meanwhile kim says his country isn't ready or willing to abandon their nuclear ambitions so we're kind of at a stalemate there however these newly announced sanctions call out china as one of

the countries helping north korea abate sanctions at the high seas now the sanctions say twenty seven shipping and trade companies along with twenty eight vessels are complicit in assisting the north illegally move merchandise or goods such as coal and oil ship to ship from international waters now some of the north korean ships being disguised as chinese vessels meanwhile critics of the president are saying these new sanctions only call out china while leaving out russia who they allege are helping north koreans in the same manner but during a panel discussion with the atlantic council one expert said that the trump administration has actually taken a strong stance against russia in the form of the twenty eight thousand nuclear posture review some even saying perhaps misplacing this nuclear threat as the u.s. ramps up its nuclear capabilities plus i think everyone here would agree that the world more dangerous now than it was in two thousand and ten in terms of the

balance of attention to threats it does seem like the review is very rushed oriented and that a lot of the recommendations are kind of oriented around that i'd like to see more discussion would like to see a bit more in the review but really hope to hear it in the continued conversations with the administration about north korea. i think that presents a number of fairly you need challenges for which we need to kind of combine our nuclear policy with a range of counterproliferation and other strategies and i'd like to see that spelled out in greater detail in our eyes the recent reproach met between north and south korea over the olympics is actually being cautioned by peninsula experts as a ruse by the north to drive a wedge between the u.s. and south korea and that as the winter olympics have drawn to a close and relations are seeming to thaw ivanka trump underscored while she was there in south korea that the administration is there to reaffirm its commitment to maximum pressure on the north to d.

nuclearize guys thank you very much for the example that wild report large going on in the world all of that i'm sorry as a commentator i just don't have faith in a lot of these leaders to actually prevent this from happening but i'm happy to see a crack in the door you know i'm happy to see that there's some movement though it's hurts to see president trump kind of like dismiss that well as a reporter for twenty five years whatever ridiculous you have this is i mean this is the thing about sanctions they don't work they don't work. they end up hurting not the person at the top just like russian sanctions stiffing put in is going to miss the mail even you know is that do you think the people you know who are at the top and he thinks he's been in cuba do you think castro is missing a meal do you think kim jong il is going to miss a meal now it's the people that barely have anything to survive on now and you honestly think that people who are starving the point of sanctions is this idea that they're all going to rise up and go up against them they don't have food they

don't have food they have limited resources to begin with and we think starving out an entire generation of children is somehow going to answer the question and i'm sorry but you know and i agree with you completely tell that i'm sorry but why is talking such a negative thing in my mind is like talking isn't dialogue isn't that the way you understand people that you prevent war from happening you prevent bombs from driving by continuing to talk absolutely ridiculous so hard as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered and first put your poll shows that are dot com coming up we offer wired back what happened to bernie sanders his new book apparently has the absolute statement what .

fifty years ago breaking within to come together as a sleeping pill that does these words on the images are just as we said the side effects what terrible but not on the road. across europe victims are still watching the. legal battles demanding at least some compensation you suffer in two ways first will the physical damage itself as well with the constant reminder that the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been born to justice and there's been a couple of. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you than.

anyone else seem wrong all right all right all just all. get to shape out these days comes to advocate and in games from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when we choose to look for common ground . election rigging collusion fraud and

a full frontal assault on the foundation of our democracy to any regular viewer of c.n.n. and m.s.n. b c that might sound like the tagline of russia gave a list of reasons that donald trump is now the forty fifth occupant of the oval office but to america's progressive left that is also the op summary of the two thousand and sixteen democratic primary when hillary clinton and the d.n.c. machine succeeded and relegating the nation's most motivated and hard fought movement in decades to a pre-determined second place finish and a humiliating lesson in true democratic obedience many bernie sanders among them have accepted this stinging loss and learned to stay quiet and carry on but many have not one person who insists on continuing the fight for transparency has started litigator jared back author of what happened to bernie sanders joined us earlier today. the bottom line in my opinion is that bernie sanders and in a system that was specifically designed for candidates such as him in other words

progressive candidates in the mold of george mcgovern to not get the nomination it was a rigged system and it was rigged from the start and it was rigged in a number of different ways and what i try to do in the book is put the pieces together and synthesize all the evidence that's out there in the public domain in order to explain and clarify how this system operated and in my view one probably the most critical factor in the rigging of the primaries against bernie sanders was the role of the media and the role that the mainstream media played in connection with the d.n.c. in rigging the elections against bernie sanders i couldn't agree with you more of the of their role it was was agreed just across the board and just sitting back and

watching it you know. from a viewer and those sort of part of the media you could see that absolutely and that was one of the issues that a lot of bernie's supporters had they were frustrated a lot of people that they saw what they saw as a sort of reluctance on bernie sanders part to call out the full six its extent of the of the rate primary that he sort of acquiesce to the hellery coronation having studied this election so extensively do you think critics those critics have something to go on do you think they're right that part of that oh absolutely yeah absolutely in fact we are at a historic unprecedented. time in our nation's history because we are we have been afforded an unprecedented opportunity to look behind the scenes at the

workings of this rigged system because wiki leaks. really a revolutionary publisher has released so much documentation into the public domain for us to study and so what i try to do in this book is go through that documentation and connect the internal. documents from the d.n.c. s. own servers and connect those documents into what exactly happened in the mainstream media. through the network that exists between d.n.c. operatives on the one hand and mainstream media operatives on the other and so what i charge in this book is exactly how the mainstream media works at the behest of the d.n.c. itself to create false narratives against bernie sanders from the very beginning of

the process including perhaps the most famous of false narratives which i called the myth of the bernie bro who. was a big one of that was a big. special because everybody out there that about election i think you know everyone out there has people who are who you know they wish wouldn't speak for them or if you know i mean a lot of it is startling ultimately though there's still the extent of it is still that kind of like smoke and mirrors of the depth of the. river now i understand you were during the process you know you were in the process of a lawsuit yourself over this matter. where where does the lawsuits that day is this something that we can expect to see come for to fruition or you know were the idea of this lawsuit you know i need to make this political statement because you know for the historical records because somebody had to stand up and kind of do something amidst all of this evidence flying around and then i'll ask is there any way to actually hold the d.n.c. ad in the clintons accountable you know for this rig at the end of the day. right

so we filed the lawsuit very shortly. after the first documents showing the d.n.c. s fraudulent intent were released into the public domain and that actually wasn't wiki leaks that was good for two point zero which released a number of internal d.n.c. documents and i believe june of two thousand and sixteen which showed how the d.n.c. was strategizing to. elevate hillary clinton to the nomination and how exactly it was going to pursue a very specific and discreet media strategy among other things in order to achieve that outcome and so we filed our lawsuit very shortly after gucci for two came out with those documents that that lawsuit there were two hearings held in the district

court in fort lauderdale florida where the lawsuit was filed which is also happens to be debbie wasserman schultz's district and of course she was named as a defendant with the d.n.c. as the former chair person and so the court held two hearings. of eventually the court dismissed the lawsuit and said that our clients who were donors to the bernie sanders campaign didn't have what is called legal standing to pursue claims against the d.n.c. and debbie wasserman schultz for rigging the primaries but in the course of. these lower court proceedings something very very interesting happened in open court before the judge hearing the case and what happened is that the d.n.c. has counsel got up and said that the d.n.c. had every right to go into back rooms and select the candidates like they did in

the old days smoke. cigars and he said those precise words and there is absolutely no. nothing no legal resource recourse for that in fact the d.n.c. has every right to rig the primaries that way and this was a shocking statement i was shocked at the time i heard this and i'm still shocked and we and i said at the time if what the d.n.c. is counsel says is true then this is a very very sad day for democracy in this country because it means that there is absolutely no recourse that can be had legally to ensure that there are fair elections in this kind country so worst on appeal in this case we appealed the judge's order dismissing us for not having standing and we are in the briefing process right now before the eleventh circuit court of appeals which

sits in atlanta and has jurisdiction over the over the appeals so i absolutely hope that that. that the d.n.c. is wrong about this and that we do have legal recourse and we are going to pursue this case until the very end and try to get justice for all of the bernie donors that were harmed by the d.n.c. conduct because they paid over two hundred twenty seven million dollars to bernie sanders campaign based on the belief that this was a legitimate and fair demick credit process and all the evidence shows that it was not but i think we've already gotten this these facts out into the public domain through the litigation process of course we've been blacked out by the mainstream media but that is a good thing that has come from the lawsuit but i hope it's not the only thing hillary and bernie supporters have harbored

a pretty strong animosity for each other throughout the whole process of the. primary isn't even through the election but most of them do seem to sarah's share a certain reverence for president obama and the interesting thing about this this entire situation is this the fact that obama had a pretty big role in the primary he was sensually the defacto head of the d.n.c. at the time or at the democratic party is responsible for appointing debbie wassermann schultz at the d.n.c. and it seems that all all things considered he has avoided his share of the blame here why do you think that happened. well i i think you're absolutely right this all happened on obama's watch but i think all this is happened and all this is happening not just from obama but really from the very leadership of the d.n.c. right now which is swearing in till the end that the process. that there

was nothing wrong with the process or that you know claims that that that the process were unfair are unfounded and all you have to do really is read the briefs that the d.n.c. has filed in our case i mean they're taking positions like. to the extent that we're threatening their first amendment rights by suing them for rigging the primaries which is just ridiculous to me so you know the short answer to your question i think is that. the d.n.c. and its leadership including president obama or former president obama has very much double down on the strategy that they pursued in rigging the primaries against bernie sanders and when you double down on the strategy you never back away from the strategy never apologize for the strategy you never give any

ground and so i think we're just really at a historic log or heads. right now in terms of the democratic party and people who were formerly in the democratic party because i know a lot of people are leaving the party or have left the party in droves over what happened in two thousand and sixteen to bernie sanders most definitely jared and i want to say thank you and keep up the good work that you're doing out there definitely check out your book what happened to bernie sanders ger back thank you so much for coming on today and definitely i'd like to have you back on as we get closer to the twenty eighteen primaries because i think that log or had you talked about is going to play a huge role in who gets on the democratic ticket and i think it's a good person now lot of talk about that thank you so much for coming out and writing this book. well thank you for having me it's been a pleasure. this time of year the north pole or the arctic as proper scientists call it normally sits around megabit thirty eight degrees celsius or negative twenty two degrees fahrenheit for my fellow americans but this year something is

different see the northern most weather station in the world clock temperature is at forty three degrees fahrenheit six degrees celsius all because the lack of sea ice is making it easier for warm air to had normal but it also sent frigid air south to europe we were seeing record cold temperatures the eternal city of rome saw freezing errors snow fall for the first time in nearly a decade and then thirty years before that they call this siberian weather from the beast from the east and it brought four inches of snow to rome delaying public transport closing schools cemeteries and even bringing priests and nuns into the blizzard for snowball slides the police have even taken to detaining homeless citizens to protect them from the elements it looks as if our weather flips and dances through our expectations it might be a time to start a middling the climate is asking us to make some changes that are most certainly

years ago babies are the babies are seeing the coliseum was slow around the well they don't happen very often doesn't pay attention the climate will get our that is our shoulder today remember everyone in this world you're not alone not so it's a war i love you. and on top of the all the people watching the ozarks. to. to feel on a hot day a daily hourly of

good to have you with us this hour my name is neil harvey this is r.t. international where we start this hour with syria where terrorists have shelled a humanitarian corridor or that was established to allow civilians to leave the war ravaged district of eastern ghouta just outside the capital damascus this is according to russia's defense ministry which helped to set up the route before it was attacked just minutes later here are pictures for you from the code or checkpoint on the side of the government controlled territory but due to terrorist shelling not a single civilian on tuesday was able to use the opportunity to leave the area r.t. arabic correspondent bruni is on the ground for is in damascus she visited the checkpoint at the head to the left and their civilians have come out of the

corridor yet minutes after it was built in the area was challenged five times and several syrian soldiers were injured snipers have asked have been firing at those patrolling the corridor that could be why civilians are in using this route out. eastern ghouta is located just outside of the syrian capital it's been occupied by various rebel and terror groups for years now we've marked it here in the area in red violence recently escalated both sides are accusing each other of targeting civilians to the north that's where the humanitarian corridor or was set up by russia located in the al wafa dean district now the humanitarian efforts to provide safe passage for those desperate to escape are being coordinated with the syrian red crescent buses and ambulances are on standby to evacuate the civilians people inside the rebel enclave are being notified about the location of that corridor via leaflets text alerts and loudspeakers first points are being set up near the exit

to help those in need of the most urgent medical assistance but despite all of those efforts it's fear that civilians will be prevented from leaving the war zone by rebels against the it has more. civilians dying they're dying from rebel shells from government bombs from bullets shrapnel and crossfire in damascus and in east ghouta the u.n. cease fire is dead on arrival no one stops shooting so the syrians are trying their own way humanitarian corridors backed by russia thousands of these leaflets being dropped over east ghouta by syrian helicopters there are instructions for civilians on how to get out of the war zone maps with arrows follow them if you dare women of all the jews and children reportedly continued to be forbidden by local armed groups from leaving the area for security

reasons they've done it before in aleppo is limited rebels wouldn't let anyone out they shot at civilians trying to feed to government held areas they shelled humanitarian crossings and if you made it out that punish your relatives same story in ghouta this has been going on for years the evidence indicates that non-state armed groups in eastern guta and in particular josh islam are also responsible for inflating the price of food and other basic necessities they're arbitrarily restricting the movement of civilians wishing to leave and the ducting and arbitrarily detaining people. you'd think this is important right all those pundits and activists screaming about gouda and not once have they asked the pertinent question how can i see it at this hour we welcome the security council's decision regarding a ceasefire because of the burden on our families and he said this suffering must

be lifted to the decision to stop the bloodshed caused by the regime in eastern woman the alarm. when the regime is not abiding by the un resolution i cannot stand still and watch and defend myself and our families in good time why are they still there despite their access to the spokes person of the army of islam the jihad this group that holds east ghouta they have not asked him why his group is blocking woman and kids from leaving a war zone it's good press for him to stand there and complain that innocents are dying while meeting that they're dying big because his own rebel fighters won't let them leave the armed groups inside east will not allow those people to leave i think human are you as you know

a propaganda tool these bloody war and syria so it will continue i don't believe it will stop but definitely this according to human humility included or actually could do it use that human casualties among those people the british foreign office invited the russian ambassador to discuss the humanitarian situation in eastern good term we had an exclusive opportunity to speak to him shortly after that meeting. of course you know we will be disappointed with the statements of the secretary johnson when he spoke yesterday at the parliament and he blamed russia for humanitarian situation and we said this is directly straight straight forward so we discussed with the british you know what the british could do in a practical terms but to support this resolution you know whom they could talk and the what kind of signals they could send to the. you whether it's a neutral position or whatever to be on to people in order to save lives and i'll

tell you that so that was a very pragmatic conversation and i think that the minister duncan. he received my message and he promised to send the right signals to the people with whom they're connecting on the ground you know to to to have this cease fire and to feel the resume loosened from my point of view it was a very useful conversation we need the british on board but. of course as i said we don't accept the. the statements like the russians are guilty for the humanitarian situation where on the scene both were trying to do our best in order to release syria from the terrorists. israeli soldiers carried out a pre-dawn raid on a palestinian village arresting people among them a teenage boy still recovering from an alleged gunshot to the herd stoning to the

west bank protest two months ago the radio self was caught on video by one of his family members. while ten palestinians were arrested by the i.d.f. in a pre-dawn raid five of them were minors and among those detained was mohammad khatami who was seriously wounded after an israeli soldier fired at him with a rubber bullet back in december now he is currently waiting for surgery to help restore part of his skull after it was removed in emergency surgery following that december incident. i don't believe god i'm limited to too long with what i'm going to. live on or the israeli army has confirmed that it

a race to tell me overnighted says that the service was approved by an army physician and now after being arrested he was interrogated and has been subsequently released during that interrogation it seems as if he was forced to say that he fell off a bike and when his head hit the handlebars there course the injury now his family has refused at this and in fact doctors have proven that the injury to his head was in fact caused by every other bullet he is the younger brother of tamimi who is currently in detention awaiting trial after slipping and the israeli soldier who arrived at her home. now that was found back in december when soldiers arrived at the tommy home to rest mohammed naturally i heard was extremely angry and her brother are regularly at protests and demonstrations with israeli soldiers there very often in

confrontations. and investigation into one of the worst cases of child sex abuse in the united kingdom is stalling due to a lack of qualified personnel the abuse scandal centers on the sexual exploitation of fourteen hundred children over the course of three decades in the northern british town of rotheram it was revealed eighty percent of the suspected perpetrators were of pakistani origin on these political looks at why the probe lot street years ago still failing to make progress according to this senior officer investigating the scandal one hundred more police officers are needed to uncover the truth so far police have managed to interview seventeen percent of the possible one and a half thousand victims due to a shortage in specially trained detectives. it's a really specialist area engaging in interviewing vulnerable victims a lot of our victims were children when they were abused but they're now adults and

have associated problems as a result of that abuse including suicidal tendencies mental health issues drug and alcohol addiction the author of scandal led to a national outcry when the scale of the child abuse was first exposed back in twenty twelve two years later an independent inquiry found that for decades through systemic failures in policing and social services the sexual abuse of children went on right under the noses of the or thora ts gangs of men the majority of whom were of pakistani origin preyed on mostly white girls aged from eleven to fifteen many of the victims thought they were in relationships with their abusers when the crimes were uncovered local authorities in yorkshire were accused of failing to tackle the problem partly through fear of being branded racist on the part of the authorities in their cases they were actually saying that these girls made

a lifestyle choice it's about the fact that the authorities didn't want to be branded racist ringleaders of the rodham grooming going last year i think the distant relatives of mine but you know what it doesn't change the responsibility that people like me have on tackling this particular issue so i've been campaigning against child sexual exploitation and street gang grooming gangs who are predominantly of a pakistani origin for over ten years the investigation into rather abuse that has cost ten million pounds so far four individuals have been convicted eighteen have been charged and thirty eight have been arrested no one senior has been held to account and with just seventeen percent of the victims interviewed so far all this . may just be the tip of the iceberg. the

bombshell bestseller far inferior reportedly used numerous tricks to gain revelations about the trumpet ministration including author michael wolff claiming to the white house the book and its title would be much more favorable and apparently far from being the only trick up his sleeve as both appear to demonstrate when confronted with a very uncomfortable question about his claims. he wrote the book the president drummed didn't want you to buy so you. can start your trip white house marco michael wolff michael wolff the author of fire and fury joins me now michael wolff welcome on a work. during a t.v. interview just last month that you are absolutely sure that donald trump is currently having an affair just last week backflips and said i quote i do not know if the

president is having an affair do you are the president and the first lady an apology mr wolf. i can't hear you. do you are the president and the but why the apology. i can't hear you. believe. that the president having an affair i'm not getting i'm not getting anything. you know hearing me but i'm not getting anything. a californian who's an expert in recycling electronics has found itself in a whole lot of trouble so his idea to help people to save money when it comes to upgrading their computers microsoft is accused. of creating thousands of illegal copies of its software he argues he was just using it to extend the lifespan of old p.c.'s but he faces up to fifty months imprisoned and

a possible fifty thousand dollars fine longer insists that he was acting within the law. the microsoft software itself gets missing d.l.l. files and below where and viruses but over time will break down the software so that it doesn't operate and function as intended you might have seen that before if you ever use a computer and it just seems to slow down over time and it needs a refresh which is what the purpose of a restore cd is so you have a license with your computer and that follows your computer in perpetuity until your computer's no longer working and that computer can be used by hundreds of people thousands of people and the license follows the hardware so the hardware itself over time might get missing d.l.l. files or it might get viruses in bloatware and what you'll end up doing is you want to refresh your re-install your valid copy of license on your computer and to do that you need three things you need to see a way you need a license and you need to restore media restore cd the restore cd is free you can

download it anywhere online but the c.e.o. and license have to come from microsoft they're the only ones that can provide you with that microsoft claims it missed out on sales of its license products accusing look good of piracy prosecutors claim he made twenty eight thousand illegal copies of microsoft's operating system last year good most convicted but an appeals court allowed him to argue his case law he says his main purpose was to encourage people to use were furbished computers instead of purchasing new ones. i know that if you were to make top these of their license or their seal ways you're directly stealing from microsoft and you deserve to go to prison but if you are providing the restore cd which is the free thing that you can download for free or that's given to you with your computer if you provide that to consumers you're giving them the ability

to repair their legally own property and i see no problem with that i believe in extending the life cycle of electronics and i believe that it helps us be more efficient in society for able to use these computers as long as they last i was very surprised when microsoft put me in that same circle with the people that are out there hacking or stealing their licenses or seal ways i mean that is a crime crime that deserves to be punished because you directly stealing from somebody all i was attempting to do was help consumers use what they legally own i've been a recycler for sixteen years and all i care about is the environment i want to make sure the things that work continue to work for the benefit of mankind well it seems that recycling of extended the life of products isn't something most companies want you to consider it appears they prefer you to keep buying new.

trolls are in the spotlight again this time u.s. politicians on mainstream media accusing them of spreading havoc in american

society after the florida school shooting details the scale of morbid. when informing us about the alleged danger of russian bots and internet trolls american politicians have been very clear about the intent behind russian conspiracies and sinister operations they want to sow division among the american people and one issue they've latched onto is the second amendment gun control debate apparently the russians are very big fans of our second amendment they don't particularly want to second members of their own but the really glad that we have one the russians would be thrilled if we were doing nothing but killing each other every day and sadly we are according to facebook's security chief the russians don't favor gun control or oppose it they just want to fight americans against each other and make sure that we don't see eye to eye the ads in accounts appeared to focus on

amplifying divisive social and political messages across the india logical spectrum touching on topics from l g p t matters to race issues to immigration to gun rights so russian trolls are inflaming emotions over any sensitive issue guns included but it looks like we can locate some russian bots not only on facebook but who else is inflaming sentiments over that oh so sensitive second amendment will take away your second amendment which we will never allow to happen don't take away five for some people that might be obvious but trump isn't the only one selling division many in legacy media love mass shootings. you guys are loving. others threatening messages against gun owners a billboard in kentucky has been vandalized with the words kill the n.r.a. that must be the work of russian trolls also if you follow the premise it seems

like the mainstream american media is also working for the russians left leaning media outlets immediately calling for more gun can. rolled right leaning outlets focusing on mental health connecticut governor dan malloy says president trump and republicans have blood on their hands after the deadly massacre in florida in control but it's not it's people control when any organization spends ten of millions of dollars promoting the interests of gun corporations to influence what happens in our elections then yes our democracy is a little girl. americans on both sides of the issue are now screaming at the top of their lungs from the highest levels of government to child survivors of mass murder accusations are flying everywhere now if this is all just some big plot from moscow we really have a big problem here in america i have been a doing this professionally in terms of you know this type of comedy for thirty

years now and then thirty years i think before the russian bots came along they've been saying the same thing every single time in my native florida so i know something about this so if the russians are claiming to take credit for involving themselves and insinuating themselves in this particular argument they're too late because this has been going on for thirty years and nothing's changed. the stance again has been fired in the russian presidential election or at least it has in northwest siberia that's the first region to cast ballots in early polling juta the remoteness of its polling stations on the severe weather the election officials are using all possible means of transportation from helicopters through to snowmobiles.

from north korea to syria's president donald trump's foreign policy is literally all over the map north korea says it is open to direct talks with washington only to be met with preconditions in syria peace is within view but this is not what the trumpet ministration wants. i am asked as are this is a kaiser report they'll never stop me they'll never stop me not even a three hundred million dollars from the congress to give more to evade to fight me never democrats russia gate fake hoax.

i guess you have to talk about them is let's consult. have no idea how you just open the show but it is extremely early in new york city every thing in new york city is extremely early all the time right but one thing we always recount and recap when we travel to new york city is as we get the chance to watch cable news and it helps us understand the divided american population and it's been very fascinating to watch that each side now has their elaborate conspiracy theories which i find quite interesting i do believe it's very lucrative especially for cable news they need to sell advertising and it's quite lucrative it appears to sell conspiracy theories so in the united states we've had an yet another mass shooting there probably will have been another one by this imus era so don't confuse it with that one this is the want to park on florida and you know you tune

in to any of the right wing the republican base. cable news and they say that there are crisis actors and that this is a false flag this shooting this mass shooting that killed seventeen teenagers or into the democratic loyalty party news and you find out that is actually puton we did this so like they're like this bizarre like it's so weird to be outside the conspiracy theory and outside of this sort of party loyalty that you just look at them both and go what the heck is going on here like this can actually. park were the product of the n.r.a. the national rifle association was ok there's some logic to it you know they've been lobbying to put guns into every american and you know for decades including fetuses you know to try to shoot their way out of the womb in case they get a you know an aborted but then they also went down the path of saying that putin is

financing the n.r.a. therefore the parkland florida shootings are the fault of putin the thing that's quite interesting to me is that there seems to be a total it's like watching t.v. series last member of the others on the other side of the aisle and they're each the same people inhabiting the same island but each side now after decades of this sort of programming of you're either republican or democrat that neither side seems to like they they seem totally foreign and afraid of each other and they're so terrified of each other obama was you know actually born in kenya member all those birth ers and he was born in kenya and he's a secret muslim and all sorts of crazy stories about him now the same thing from the democratic press and some there's something really uniquely crazy uniquely un-american about trump member obama uniquely un-american chum uniquely un-american

and see other side responsible and i want to read this quote from a new yorker piece by mark masha gessen and the headline was the fundamental uncertainty of my. always russia indictments in that she looks at the american people the one just pointing to and she says while most people believe themselves to have a solid grip on reality they imagine their compatriots to be gullible and chronically misinformed this in turn means that we no longer have a sense of shared reality a common imagination that underlies political life in a society with a strong sense of shared reality a bunch of sub literate tweets and ridiculous ads will be nothing but a curiosity even the fact that russians put money into organizing rallies and demonstrations across the political spectrum would be absurd surely they didn't force people to join these rallies sincerely held beliefs brought people to the rallies that it makes no difference to the broader political life whether someone paid for an actress to take part this notion that. you know the otherness of the other side of the political spectrum here is it's just bizarre to see if you're not

part of it if you like if you see them both as american both sizes american a uniquely american it's a shakedown you know they want more money to spend on themselves in the political classes because they're greedy so they make up an enemy in this case russia that makes sense if you look at a logically because how is russia grown as economy from two hundred billion to two trillion through trade and who's the biggest trading partner in the world to us so russia's been reaching out for decades for years now under putin saying let me go to trade more there's more trade and america is like no no you're an existential crisis because we have to give these deadbeats and congress a lot more money so we're going to create a fake enemy called putin with a demand three hundred million more dollars meanwhile you go do trade with china and the east and create the new silk road and become a fortune in a five trillion dollars economy all america shrinks you say there are two ships passing in the night russia and america america is going to soviet is asian and russia is going to basically what the way america wasn't a fifty's putin if you want to make

a comparison is more like eisenhower or is this weirdo in office now like khrushchev so that was arms. vaishnav what i see on m s n b c one i see on fox two crazy conspiracy theorists shouting at each other about how uniquely crazy the other side is one side basically elects kenyans who are secret muslims trying to bring shariah law to america the other side things like they're secret kremlin puppets so let's talk now about the financial press here's a crazy story from the financial press how people are like literally there's a mental breakdown here commodities expert is nonsense and i'll never buy any two months later i bought stock in a fake block chain company that was exposed as a fraud and dropped thirty three percent in a single day that was jamieson lop tweeting about dennis gartman dennis gartman is a very well known guy on wall street he writes the gartman newsletter lots of big banks here on wall street by his newsletter for his expertise on commodities he was

on c n b c two months ago dissing hard how big cowen is nonsense and i'll never buy any well apparently he had to inform his investors that he's basically made a disastrous bet and lost big time on riot block chain remember this it was like a biotech company that suddenly out of the blue changed their name to a riot block chain and that they were going to become a block chain company instead and their share price like soared risky krypto bet blows up dennis gartman retirement account making big bets on speculative assets with retirement money is something most advisors warn against but big point fever is prompting all sorts of puzzling decisions for sixty seven year old dennis gartman the longtime publisher of a namesake daily investing newsletter and television commentator that was putting a volatile stock called riot block chain into his very own retirement account the wager is proving to be painful o'gorman has a worse track record than james cramer it is notoriously wrong and just makes

catastrophic only bad calls and this is just the latest because like a rock. test if i'm saying that correctly i haven't studied psychology in a few years but it exposes people's sub conscious and unconscious desires and what they actually are so he's a moron that he's been made to look more of a moron people who are maybe quasi nycole become full blown megalomaniacs are seeing even the big point space with the rise of big cash which is a project to feed megalomania this was drawn out by the genius that is a toshiba invention if you are calm patient investor with the not aspirations to run the world you get rewarded spectacular like jeremy gardner our friend out in san francisco who's just a nice guy who saw something that looked good and now he's you know billionaire so it brings out who you are but in a more exaggerated way and so this is flaming all of the nincompoops who don't know anything about financial markets and rewarding those who are simply patient and

saying this is a world changing game changer that it is it's also called foam oh and foley's to be you being wrecked so this guy had fear of missing out. you also can't trust a lot of people are saying he was shouting he was telling people two months ago that big question is nonsense it's insane don't get involved it's stupid what it is stupid investment and it turns out that he put his money in the the most clearly obviously stupid is the mall like everybody we said we talked about in all the red flags that were raised about this so-called investment it was listed on the stock exchange and people poured into it for no reason at all they didn't do his homework if he had done his homework and studied what bitcoin is he would not have chased this dragon down the rabbit hole to mix a few metaphors metamorph that sounds like a smore that sounds like a cookie that's another good dessert oh my god what we're talking about he would be more credible had he done his research but he did not so he's chasing this fake

company nonsense and it's a catastrophic failure but that's what they pay him for to ridicule him he goes on to. so people can ridicule him he's a punching bag as a human punching bag it has nothing up here but like stalemate balls. inside is burnt out many years ago continue with my theme of this fake news of each side has fake news and accuses the other side of fake news fake news is advertisements now everywhere you walk around new york city you hear ads for this is not fake news are chicken cutlets are the best you know they everything is like that t.v. series lost means naked lunch is like people i lost reached naked lunch i want to be in that film this is what i did so of course he blames fake news friday it was one of the worst days we have suffered through in a very long time he wrote in the guardian letter on tuesday we were along a sizeable position in a block chain focused company that was the victim of a c n b c exposé which sent the shares down more than twenty percent and which sent

us down for the year to date having been up six percent he's a masochist i mean if there were more on futures on the cboe he'd be rich because he himself was the biggest moron of all and then here's another bit going story again you know many governments in the world are trying to protect us from social media they're trying to protect us from twitter they're trying to protect us from facebook. that you should only tune in to m s n b c to get your official democratic news and you should only tune into fox to get your official republican news and don't listen to those ordinary shows out there on twitter and facebook and your like your cousins and uncles don't listen to those people there because their minds might not be able to contemplate and understand fake news because here's another headline poland central bank secretly paid you to burgers to slander kryptos so a polish youtube or with around one million subscribers was paid about thirty thousand dollars by the central bank of poland in collaboration with the polish

financial supervision authority to portray crypto currencies and the negative light without disclosing the payment and the video now here is the difference between. paying you know you tubers to descript o.-o. d.c. any bit corners crying saying oh my god big queens being undermine our institutions our block cim is being undermined by these people being paid by the central bank to discard currency now because we're like bring it on like nothing's going to take it down we have faith and our foundations and our institutions and our and what we believe in we have faith in it we don't like you can say whatever you want to about it you can say all the fund you want in the world doesn't matter we don't have that same sort of conspiracy theory minded absence of faith and our own beliefs such as michael pollan the quote expose them they were just a little bit criminally minded and a little bit psychotic and run by bad actors and serial fraudsters but because i

exposed central bank of poland to be outright fraudsters and criminals so thank you but going to a central bank of poland that has no credibility well in the second half we have a really special guest and i'm really excited to find out who it is stay tuned don't go away o.c. about it. and what else seems wrong. but don't just don't call. me. yet to see. this thing come out to. end in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guys. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending to get the twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game played great so one more chance for. the piece it's going to.

welcome back to the kaiser report imax kaiser time now to turn to one of america's preeminent journalist a follower of the new journalism school talked about by tom wolfe i think on back to the seventy's. as a go next very good thanks for being on the show and as i make that comparison to the new journalism school new journalism because at that time just as a quick digression here this idea that the truth versus facts and facts can be kind of plain and it don't necessary give the truth and writers like yourself that are gifted with the language can offer a truth that is transcendent and that we saw this in your bank a rolling stone in times like goldman sachs and you galvanized people's imagination with the fam pyar squid that's a great turn of phrase i mean it really put into context what this is all about and now and subsequently what your books in your article as you've continued in that

vein bringing really good journalism to the fore and so let's get into what you've been talking about recently as a new nuclear posture review the n.p.r. you'd never know it watching cable news but you write that this is n.p.r. shows that the president and the people around him believe in the usability of nuclear weapons to talk about this right that would be one of the main features of the president's new nuclear posture review is this idea that the should completely revamp our nuclear arsenal and we should focus on more flexibility in our nuclear by which the essentially they mean they want to design nuclear weapons that have a smaller payload like hiroshima size payload so that they can countenance the use of nuclear weapons without completely destroying humanity which is crazy basically because anybody who's in the scientific community will tell you that a very very limited exchange of nuclear weapons potentially destroys the entire world for a. environmental reasons but the trump posture review pretty much says this openly

and i go to present this country because there's only one story in this country and it's you know trumps ongoing you know scandals right down going from scandal they rush gate story you know this is interesting you know and i guess part and parcel of the you're talking about here is that you know the end of the cold war featured what with reagan and gorbachev some agreements between the two countries to scale back on atomic weaponry and there was an agreement not to go east with nato and there was a detente and there was. and there was peace in the valley and that lasted for a while but then apparently there's been heating up recently the cold war is back i guess because it does time to nuke question and wow how do you how did that for people say how did this cold war and becoming a hot again like what triggered that in your view i think it's

a variety of factors going back to what you were saying you know it's amazing to think that even at the very peak of the cold war when reagan was calling the soviet union an evil empire and you know gorbachev was this is the precursor of that is that they were coming up with agreements like start and salt. because even at a time when they were most motivated financially politically in every respect to keep building nuclear weapons they knew that it was a bad policy and they had a number of near misses both sides did over the years and all the way up through two thousand and eleven and two thousand and twelve russia and america continually work to kind of scale back. the nuclear arsenal even at the height of the cold war there was an idea to scale back on atomic weaponry because it was so crazy yes read it both countries realize that you know michel this destruction was assured if the wind went down this path and they were but that somehow that got flipped now and now there's this. idea under tromp the current posturing is that actually tomic

weapons it's acceptable the scale if you do the right way of drawing out a small nick so it goes to repudiate an entire line of thinking so that's very very dangerous and yours and stop being covered because the mainstream media seems focused elsewhere so let's talk a little bit about i guess how dangerous is it i mean you've done the work on it so what are we talking about here how what level of danger are we at well i mean i talked about this before the election with the one thing you know when you're thinking about donald trump getting elected potentially this is a person who has almost no attention span who acts almost before he thinks he tweets he bypasses his entire staff to go do things he speaks directly to the public is an extremely impulsive individual and he starts things with other countries potentially you know but with through tweets or whatever this is the worst case scenario is an early use of nuclear weapons the one thing he would want

to make sure of if he got elected was that this question was paid attention to constantly and it's not mean we he's with his various kerfuffles with north korea and with this nuclear posture review he's made you know the kind of the world is significantly more dangerous place but we're not paying as much attention to it as we probably should i think this is the one area where everybody should be keeping an eye on trump constantly how do you see overall so far in the trump era what was been kind of the biggest surprises for you so far in the first year now that he's been in office the first thing i would say is that i expected. this huge reckoning within the democratic party yeah after after the loss to after trump got elected my first thought was wow they're going to look back and say how can we lose the sky and say we have to completely rethink how we do business and overhaul their entire apparatus. and that didn't happen and we've what we've instead have is were kind of

stuck in a kind of perpetual two thousand and sixteen this sort of russia good scandal has kept those sort of frozen in time continually related getting all the issues of the elections that trump trump's administration has essentially been frozen in place by this one over a chin crisis that has dominated the news dominated his presidency dominated politics i mean everything has to keep coming back to this one story and it's been it's been amazing and strange to watch you know you're a shrewd observer of the media and you write about it and you're part of it and i want to get a comment on something that seems like something remarkable this happened you know thirty years ago in texas on public access cable a little known guy named alex jones started this thing and he became very big and before the twenty sixteen kicked off or trompe visited alex jones and kind of kicked off his campaign and

a lot of people would get put alex jones in the camp of a conspiracy theorist and someone who is constantly you know bending the facts to suit the narrative that is some may consider wild but then you look at cable t.v. and like the rachel maddow who is number one in cable today and she now sounds exactly like alex jones she's got nothing the conspiracy theories so we just become the defacto model for news america what do you think of that observation and what does that tell us i think you're you're right on i mean i might not characterize rachel exactly that way but you know i saw this coming in the summer of two thousand and sixteen that there was a very very sharp polarization that was going on within the media community we were reporters were talking about it they were discussing the idea that we had to become more actively partisan. trump was so much of a threat that we had to quote unquote do more to. prevent present his. and c and so

that kind of old school boring third person let's reset the news dispassionately version of journalism just vanished from the landscape and now everything has gravitated towards what you know what you're exactly right it's the alex jones model it's the sort of foreman eating. anger inducing kind of rhetoric that is very very popular and makes a lot of money and also i mean this is a key factor and the one thing that people forget about the trump presidency is that he's making the media a fortune i mean c.n.n. made a billion dollars last year but the media has has been looking at the climbing fortunes for decades no but soon a stroke came along he's made us all a lot of money and i think that has affected coverage tremendously. as leading up to the campaign and you know that over the c.b.s. in the way broadcast an empty podium waiting for john and he would say this guy is probably very dangerous i'm paraphrasing but nonetheless he's making us lots of money so the media you know that famous from of the the you know the tail wagging

the dog with dustin hoffman talking about the campaign and they kind of cooking up the. paranoid schizophrenia kind of crazy schemes to get people in office and the media had they had doesn't often playing a movie producer to concoct a story and so that's become the go to scenario now it's just all this think this is all you think about this phrase fake name is like what does that mean exactly yeah it's interesting because one of the problems is the entire kind of modern system of commercial media. designed to make fake news or something like fake news viable its financial viable to do it to do short blasts of angry rhetorical journalism right increasingly every single year we see more and more people are getting all their information from mobile devices not just tablets now but especially phones so what p. . who are looking for something they can see on their phone and watch for like ten

or fifteen seconds or thirty seconds and the stuff that's really really popular is alex jones style journalism that's the stuff that really really works with this medium and so it's these little me little little you know sensational headlines that's what everybody's trying to do is what the quick and right now you write typically a piece of rolling stone is what three thousand words four thousand more in six thousand words i say doesn't fit on a tweet it doesn't fit into a you know twitter friendly environment and you know people like me were dinosaurs and you know every generation says that the political divide in america seems to go sharper and sharper but you know this generation you know is watching this group of the students in florida who have been now tragically gunned down and they that they seem like they're motivated now they're coming out and saying you know you're threatening us we are fighting for our lives like the generational divide at this particular moment seems really the sharpest has been in a long long time how do you think of what your thoughts on that i think we're

becoming more polarized than ever for sure but you're right this next generation the younger generation the morning older generation and younger they're more politically active. in a specific way and maybe my generation was in other words we what we had the sixty's then we went in like the eighty's there was a very go go raw raw reagan esque top gun was a big movie and of django istic and then we went to a very heavy pop ses like pop became like the prevailing cultural norm of mixed in with a little hip hop but now i mean it seems like we're all the way back to maybe the kent state days these kids are like you're trying to kill us yeah we don't want to get killed you know is that what it is that a possibility it's really interesting because i think. in my generation or it kids in my generation grew up listening to. our parents who were the sixty's kids and

they had a more ironic take on everything right like you know their parents had been incredibly earnest you know fighters for causes and then they of course grew up and went to business and their kids saw them as kind of phony isn't fakers and they had this kind of jaded ironic take on everything which is why you know the eighty's and ninety's were a generation that was really ripe for like stand up comedy and humor and offbeat tyrell expire a magazine that kind of thing and now we're the pendulum is swinging back the other way i think this next generation of looking at my generation and saying you guys didn't take politics seriously enough you left us with with trumpet office and now we have to get serious and clean up your mess and i think that's what's coming is a new wave of kind of earnestness and seriousness and anger and you know it's not it's not might be dead it might be did irony is dying yeah exactly. absolutely all that's going to this edition of the kaiser party max keiser stacey when i guess

that me if you can reach us on twitter it's kaiser report and. fifty years ago breaking it within to come together as a sleeping pill. does. something that thinks what terrible. across europe. legal battles demanding at least some compensation. to waste the physical times itself as well that the concept in mind that the people who take this call it has never been able to justice and that has been the. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the

world of politics score doesn't this i'm show business i'll see you then. everybody i'm stephen baldwin gosh i want to ask hollywood guy the suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v. to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru well i'm just a little bit different i'm honest to god i know no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the brood have fun meet everyday americans at home and cook for the store to bridge the gap this is the great american people which. is the first. book.

deal on a hot day at the dinner table a bottle of sorry in china six oir. an estimated eighty thousand since under-age refugees are now living in greece. you know still more go. to get a home in there you go for doing. so many sell their bodies just to make ends meet . all of them less secular than on the second on again and on the sins and when that is how bonuses and let things put it. also has turned to dealing drugs to make a living. well that's just a little gentle of blood runs a little. game of the been going.

to look good. what politicians do you shouldn't. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so. when you want to be president or injury. or some want to be brits. it's a right to be for us this is what before us three of the boys can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of our. first ship.

terrorists have shelled a humanitarian corridor in syria. shortly after it was established preventing civilians from leaving. israeli soldiers arrest people in a raid on a palestinian village including a fifteen year old boy with a severe head injury and legibly inflicted by the i.d.f. two months ago. a computer recycling expert in the us faces jail and a hefty fine for pirating microsoft software but he insists he was only trying to refurbish old p.c.'s. i think it was helping people extend the life cycle of their electronics to combat planned obsolescence and to make sure that we keep as much working product out of landfills as possible.

for a good evening to you. this is our t. international we start this hour with syria where terrorists have shelled a humanitarian corridor that was established to allow civilians to leave the war ravaged district of eastern ghouta position just outside the capital damascus now that's according to russian defense ministry will help to set up the route before. it was attacked just minutes later and here now are our pictures from the corridor checkpoint this is on the side of government controlled territory but jus to the terrorists shelling not a single civilian has been able to use the opportunity to leave the area thus far to the arabic correspondent. bruni is on the ground for is in damascus she visited that checkpoint. at the headline no civilians have come out of the corridor yet

minutes after it was opened the area was challenged five times several syrian soldiers were injured snipers have asked have been firing at those patrolling the corridor that could be why civilians are in use in this rout out. eastern ghouta is located just outside of the syrian capital it's been occupied by various rebel and terror groups for years we've marked it just up here in this area in red violence there recently escalated both sides of accused each other of targeting civilians if you look to the north that's where the humanitarian corridor was set up by russia that's located in the what the dean district up in the north now the humanitarian efforts to provide safe passage for those desperate to escape they are being coordinated with the syrian red crescent buses and ambulances are on standby to evacuate civilians people inside the rebel enclave but being notified about the location of that corridor via leaflets text alerts and loudspeakers first aid

points have been set up near to the exit that's to help those who need of medical assistance but it's part of all of those efforts it's feared civilians will be prevented by rebels from actually leaving the war zone. has more. civilians dying they're dying from rebel shells from government bombs from bullets shrapnel and crossfire in damascus and in east ghouta the u.n. cease fire is dead on arrival no one stops shooting so the syrians are trying their own way humanitarian corridors backed by russia thousands of these leaflets being dropped over east ghouta by syrian helicopters there are instructions for civilians on how to get out of the war zone maps with arrows follow them if you dare women of all the jews and children reportedly

continued to be forbidden by local armed groups from leaving the area for security reasons they've done it before in aleppo is limited rebels wouldn't let anyone out they shot at civilians trying to feed to government held areas they shelled humanitarian crossings and if you made it out that punish your relatives same story in ghouta this is being going on for years the evidence indicates that non-state armed groups in eastern guta and in particular islam are also responsible for inflating the price of food and other basic necessities they're arbitrarily restricting the movement of civilians wishing to leave and abducting and arbitrarily detaining people. you'd think this is important right all those pundits and activists screaming about good and not once have they asked the pertinent

question. we welcome the security council's decision regarding a ceasefire because of the burden on our families and he said this suffering must be lifted the decision to stop the bloodshed caused by the regime an ace in my home and the alarm. when the regime is not abiding by the un resolution i cannot stand still and watch and defend myself and our families in ghouta why are they still there despite their access to the spokes person of the army of islam the jihad this group that holds east ghouta they have not asked him why his group is blocking woman and kids from leaving a war zone it's good press for him to stand there and complain that innocents are dying while meeting that they're dying big because his own rebel fighters won't let them leave the armed groups inside east ghouta will not allow those people to leave

i think human are you as you know a program that all these bloody war and in syria so it will continue i don't believe it will stop but definitely with this according to human humility included or actually could do it use that human casualties among those people the british foreign office invited the russian ambassador to discuss the humanitarian situation in eastern guta we had an exclusive opportunity to speak to him shortly after that meeting. of course you know we will be disappointed with the statements of the secretary johnson when he spoke yesterday at the parliament and he blamed russia for humanitarian situation and we said this is directly straight straightforward so we discuss with the british you know what the british could do in a practical terms but to support this resolution you know whom they could talk and what kind of signals they could send to the. you whether it's

a neutral position or whatever to be on to people in order to save lives and i'll tell you that so that was a very pragmatic conversation and i think that the minister duncan. here received my message and he promised to send the right signals to the people with whom they're connecting on the ground in order to to have this cease fire and to feel the result from my point of view it was a very useful conversation we need the british and board but. of course as i said we don't accept the. the statements like the russians are guilty for the humanitarian situation where on the same both were trying to do our best in order to release syria from the terrorists. israeli soldiers have carried out a pre-dawn raid on

a palestinian village arresting ten people among them a teenage boy still recovering from an alleged gunshot to the head sustained at the west bank protest two months ago the raid was caught on video by one of his family members. well ten palestinians were arrested by the i.d.f. in a pre-dawn raid five of them were minors and among those detained was mohammad khatami meat who was seriously wounded after an israeli soldier fired at him with a rubber bullet back in december and now he is currently waiting for surgery to help restore part of his skull after it was removed in emergency surgery following that december incident.

to learn with what i'm going to. the israeli army has confirmed that it a race to tell me overnighted says that the service was approved by an army physician now after being arrested he was interrogated and has been subsequently released during that interrogation it seems as if he was forced to say that he fell off a bike and when his head hit the handlebars that course the injury now his family has refuted this and in fact doctors have proven that the injury to his head was in fact caused by every other bullet he is the younger brother of tommy who is currently in detention awaiting trial off to slapping any israeli soldier who arrived at her home. now that was found back in december when soldiers arrived at the tommy home to rest mohammed naturally i heard was extremely angry and her brother are regularly at

protests and demonstrations with israeli soldiers there very often in confrontations. and investigation into one of the worst cases of child sex abuse in the u.k. is stalling due to a lack of qualified personnel the abuse scandal centers on the sexual exploitation of fourteen hundred children over the course of three decades in the northern british town of rather and it was revealed that eighty percent of the suspected perpetrators were of pakistani origin artie's political looks at why the probe launched three years ago is still failing to make progress according to this senior officer investigating the scandal one hundred more police officers are needed to uncover the truth so far police have managed to interview seventeen percent of the possible one and a half thousand victims due to a shortage in specially trained detectives. it's

a really specialist area engaging in interviewing vulnerable victims a lot of our victims were children when they were abused but they're now adults and have associated problems as a result of that abuse including suicidal tendencies mental health issues drug and alcohol addiction the author of scandal led to a national outcry when the scale of the child abuse was first exposed back in twenty twelve two years later an independent inquiry found that for decades through systemic failures in policing and social services the sexual abuse of children went on right under the noses of the or thora ts gangs of men the majority of whom were of pakistani origin preyed on mostly white girls aged from eleven to fifteen many of the victims thought they were in relationships with their abusers when the crimes were uncovered local authorities in yorkshire were accused of failing to

tackle the problem partly through fear of being branded racist on the part of the authorities in their cases they were actually saying that these girls made a lifestyle choice it's about the fact that the authorities didn't want to be branded racist ringleaders of the rodham grooming going last year i think distant relatives of mine but you know what it doesn't change the responsibility that people like me have on tackling this particular issue so i've been campaigning against child sexual exploitation and street gang grooming gangs who are predominantly of a pakistani origin for over ten years the investigation into rather abuse that has cost ten million pounds so far four individuals have been convicted eighteen have been charged and thirty eight have been arrested no one senior has been held to account and with just seventeen percent of the victims interviewed so far all this

may just be the tip of the iceberg. the bombshell bestseller fire and fury reportedly use numerous tricks to gain revelations about the trump of ministration including author michael wolff claiming to the white house that the book and its title would be much more favorable and apparently that's far from being the only trick of his sleeve as wolf appeared to demonstrate when confronted with a very uncomfortable question about his claims. he wrote the book that president trump didn't want you to buy so you do. inside the truck white house michael who michael wolff michael wolff the author of fire and fury joins me now michael wolff welcome on a work. during a t.v. interview just last month that you're absolutely sure that donald trump is currently

having an affair called just last week you know if you backflips and say that i quote i do not know if the president is having an affair do you are the president and the first lady an apology mr wolf. i can't hear you. do you are the president and the first lady and apology i can hear you. just go did you absolutely sure that the president would having an affair i mean i'm not getting in i'm not getting anything. you know i'm hearing maybe i'm not getting anything. recycling old computers that might sound like a good idea but it could put one man from california behind bars we'll explain after this break.

apply to many clubs over the years so i know the gang so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the families it's the age of the super money. spend spend be true to the twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else only because i want to share what

i think i know about the beautiful game but great chance for. the banks. dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles . that you saw try to tell you that somebody's gossiping probably myself. i'm telling you i'm not cool enough to buy their products. are the hawks that we along with our loved ones. welcome back a californian who is an expert in recycling electronics is found himself in

a whole heap of trouble of a his idea to help people save money when it comes to upgrading their computers microsoft is accused of creating thousands of illegal copies of the web he argues he was only using it to extend the life span of all pay sales but he faces up to fifteen months in prison and a possible fifty thousand dollars fine longer and says he was acting within the law . the microsoft software itself gets missing d.l.l. files and below where and viruses but over time will break down the software so that it doesn't operate and function as intended you might have seen that before if you ever use a computer and it just seems to slow down over time and it needs a every fresh which is what the purpose of a restore cd is so you have a license with your computer and that follows your computer in perpetuity until your computer's no longer working and that computer can be used by hundreds of people thousands of people and the license follows the hardware so the hardware itself over time might get missing d.l.l.

files or it might get viruses in bloatware and what you'll end up doing is you want to refresh your re-install your valid copy of license on your computer and to do that you need three things you need to see a way you need a license and you need to restore media restore cd the restore cd is free you can download it anywhere online but the c.e.o. and license have to come from microsoft they're the only ones that can provide you with that and microsoft claims that it missed out on sales of its licensed products and accuses the good of piracy prosecutors claim he made twenty eight thousand illegal copies of microsoft operating system last year longer most convicted but an appeals court allowed him to argue his case when small he says that he's made a mistake to encourage people to use refurbished computers instead of purchasing new ones. i know that if you were to make top these of their license or their seal ways you're directly stealing from microsoft and you deserve to go to

prison but if you are providing the restore cd which is the free thing that you can download for free or that's given to you with your computer if you provide that to consumers you're giving them the ability to repair their legally own property and i see no problem with that i believe in extending the life cycle of electronics and i believe that it helps us be more efficient in society if we're able to use these computers as long as they last i was very surprised when microsoft put me in that same circle with the people that are out there hacking or stealing their licenses or seal ways i mean that is a crime crime that deserved to be punished because you directly stealing from somebody all i was attempting to do was help consumers use what they legally own i've been a recycler for sixteen years and all i care about is the environment i want to make sure the things that work continue to work for the benefit of mankind but it seems

that recycling and extending the life of products isn't something that a lot of companies want you to consider it appears in fact they prefer you to keep buying new.

russian trolls are in the spotlight again this time u.s. politicians and the mainstream media accusing them of spreading havoc in american society after the florida school shooting in explains. when informing us about the alleged danger of russian bots and internet trolls american politicians have been very clear about the intent behind russian conspiracies and sinister operations they want to sow division among the american people and one issue they've latched on to is this second amendment gun control debate apparently the russians are very big fans of our second amendment they don't particularly want to second member of their own but to really glad that we have one the russians would be thrilled if we were doing nothing but killing each other every day and sadly we are according to

facebook's security chief the russians don't favor gun control or oppose it they just want to fight americans against each other and make sure that we don't see eye to eye the ads in accounts appeared to focus on amplifying divisive social and political messages across the illogical spectrum touching on topics from l g p t matters to race issues to immigration to gun rights so russian trolls are inflaming emotions over any sensitive issue guns included but it looks like we can locate some russian bots not only on facebook but who else is inflaming sentiments over that oh so sensitive second amendment will take away your second amendment which we will never allow to happen don't take away is to provide for some people that might be obvious but trump isn't the only one selling division many in legacy media love mass shootings. you guys are loving.

others threatening messages against gun owners a billboard in kentucky has been vandalized with the words kill the n.r.a. that must be the work of russian trolls also if you follow the premise it seems like the mainstream american media is also working for the russians and left leaning media outlets immediately calling for more gun can. rolled right leaning outlets focusing on mental health connecticut governor dan malloy says president trump and republicans have blood on their hands after the deadly massacre in florida because gun control but it's not it's people control when any organization spends ten of millions of dollars promoting the interests of gun corporations to influence what happens in our elections then yes our democracy is a little broken. americans on both sides of the issue are now screaming at the top of their lungs from the highest levels of government to child survivors of mass

murder accusations are flying everywhere now if this is all just some big plot from moscow we really have a big problem here in america i have been a doing this professionally in terms of you know this type of comedy for thirty years now and in thirty years i think before the russian bots came along they've been saying the same thing every single time in my native florida so i know something about that so if the russians are claiming to take credit for involving themselves and insinuating themselves in this particular argument they're too late because this has been going on for thirty years and nothing's changed. the start again has been fired in the russian presidential election or at least in northwest siberia that's the first region to cast ballots in early polling due to the remoteness of his polling stations and the severe weather election officials

are using all possible means of transportation from helicopters to snowmobiles. that brings us right up to date with the latest headlines and often that.

i i i i i am. i. i think that i got i thought. well you know i. join me every first day on the i like simon shore and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics. i'm show business i'll see you then. kind of financial survival job today was all about money laundering first to visit this cash into three different. oh good that's

a good start well we have our three banks all set up here maybe something in your something in america something overseas or the cayman islands or do we do all these banks are complicit in their tough talk received a soft ball and say hey i'm ready to do some serious money laundering ok let's see how we did while we've got home got a nice luxury watch for max and for stacey beautiful jewelry and how about. luxury automobile for max you know what money laundering is highly illegal. much keyser of course. i wouldn't make this manufactured consent to stick to the public well. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. with the financial merry go round lifts and me the one percent. we can

all middle of the room sick. to the real news is. to. feel on a hot day in a period of a bottle of saudi in china six oir here in the. area. an estimated eighty five percent under-age refugees are now living in greece. or go. home in their euro food during. the many sell their bodies just to make ends meet some. of them on the second you know almost since i've been there that. says a lot of things can. turn to dealing drugs to make

a living. off of a little. game and then you. move. in some american cities the police are killed themselves quite a reputation people who walk on the streets of the united states are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect that people are no more afraid of the police than the criminals. if you can see something happening and this is like i don't want to call the cops have been a resident call the cops in. their lives chasing the thing. you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to pull a gun out so yes unfortunately around and around here we end up going our guns a lot. from. this place too.

counter gun the sleeping pill taken by their mothers before they were born it still haunts its victims today. whether it was the stores i get. what's verdict there's been all sorts out there and they go. along with and it has existed in the malls and the members fifty five years after the medicine was taken off the market its victims are demanding new legal proceedings they want to prove that they were denied fair compensation. the survivors are placing their faith in the hands of this man. tobias found archived documents that he hopes will

germans find it difficult to face up to the history and the might and they have to do it now and they will feel ashamed but at the same time being typically governments they feel powerless they don't know what to do about it but sooner or later they're going to have to confront what happened. in june twenty sixth seen an event takes place in dusseldorf. the state government issued an invitation a study titled the role of the state of north rhine-westphalia encounter gun and the consequences as presented to the victims of counter gun. the study could been commissioned two years earlier by health minister barbara stephens. it's a ph d. thesis from the faculty of history at the university of monster. the author nicholas leonhard sram is already under pressure as the meeting begins. one of the reasons is that he used the term lifestyle drug to describe consequence.

of cut back on my lifestyle that in a couple. of pretty short victories this big deal is what do you about. that's also a little over this car hit five in the car bit. also a bit of that all for thought does this is what i believe as an actor does. it all of us the evidence he does it's this big gift of this is this sort of mild over twenty thirty i'm i'm i'm sure it won't. work for nine. for sure but you know i'm on unlimited often provide an additional or it worth of other good news but we want to move on as does the author might go on for you know forty five could. the author of the thesis was commissioned by the health minister to examine the role of the state governments during the criminal trial against the manufacture of the frogger opposite of lung collected on this collector. as there's only two

ways mr urban fun about us and can see the veteran struggles my going to do five by four knobs it doesn't say three to five not but it does not mr i three deal with eighty five not and this is argued inside kind in via skipped this year i know unsolicited by first the stuff on it's beginning. so there is no evidence that the state behaved improperly during the criminal trial against a pharmaceutical company go in and tell. a key player in the country going trial is north rhine-westphalia as justice minister joseph nye broke up the trial began in may nine hundred sixty eight zero leaping to support their center for the foundation's release dad i wish i would you but so i don't want to give you sad i said i'm going to present fun and alice could die not them these really forgotten suburban before becoming justice minister berger acted as criminal defense lawyer for the main defendant. in the archives contained files showing that he was

allowed to interfere in the proceedings. however after two years in office go writes a letter to a defense lawyer who is also involved. the letter is addressed to eric schmidt. then the defense lawyer for one of the growing until defendants dear colleagues the justice minister writes while leafing through in the evening i found something about the submission of evidence. was the minister of justice unlawfully interfering in a criminal trial and giving legal advice to a defense lawyer. we show it to the author of the thesis and ask how he evaluates the letter in regard to the state's role during the trial. this is that it is guns i don't want to forget of that anything cut out of answered

. not to really shouted at us and in contact to one of quintus team us be advised until they give. and take a dog and take his concept in contact. em . these inside point i need them for one stop. i'm not dead. and think it is almost. the university of glasgow. history professor bray stocks conducts research at the faculty of corporate history. professor stokes is an acknowledged expert on twentieth century german business history. he read the doctoral thesis on the financial state government's role he also knows about the. jury in his time as justice minister this is. a

game what a fun. boy. this brief is to see the. five. in the nixon book and well just so i know your contacts fission and bargain. oh. you know for been the intuition and by. then you don't socialize. what did you not through only ten best. left alone you. said. no seven did that.

you speak french. those who. think he was sent. to. the council itself. what holds us institutionally to. put themselves on the laws to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. more somehow want to grips with. what you'd like to be close with what the before scribble can be good get. interested always in the waters of the caller's. question.

so small seemed wrong what old goals just don't call. me old yet to say proud disdain comes to educate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground the. hey everybody i'm stephen bob. taft hollywood guy you know suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and intervene to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru well he's a little bit different i'm not a one can find i know no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country and i'm hitting the road to have some fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully

start to bridge that gap this is the great american people which. i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside guides. 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 just kill the narrowness and spending to get to twenty million one fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy great so what chance for. the base it's minute.

in london british victims of the active ingredient in counter gun have teamed up and formed a group called solidify trust. to bias aren't presents his findings from the german archives. letters files of minutes outlining the role politics played during the criminal trial against the manufacturer growing into these documents shed new light on what happened fifty five years ago. it isn't just british that it might survivors who are convinced they find lies in old british political parties. in feb twenty fifth in an unusual debate takes place in the british parliament. which is to michael moore thank you mr speaker for over fifty years philip him either side been campaigning for justice particularly from the german manufacturers . know that over one hundred fifty m.p.'s of signed an open letter to the german

chancellor with the prime minister add this to his busy agenda today so that we might get a decent and fair settlement for all concerned yeah i have on behalf of a constituent as he raised this issue not only through the european parliament but also with german authorities and i'll certainly reflect what the gentleman says. more than one hundred fifty british m.p.'s from all political parties have signed a letter to the german chancellor. unlike germany britain does have a tradition of rebellion when dealing with the little mite of the active ingredient i'm going to go to. the four hundred sixty six members of the little my trust not just fighting for compensation. they want those responsible for their disabilities to be held to account nick deal breaker is one of them thinks they have almost succeeded who have which ties and to whom and with his chart to explain. the

connections to german politicians as well as representatives of the european parliament if they hadn't ended the trial as they did in the early seventy's then the evidence would have been available to the victims to use in their future actions against grim's on others and in particular the u.k. survivors action in the seventy's would have undoubtedly have been and it in a much more favorable fashion to to the claimants as it was they didn't have the evidence they had to settle for a much bigger discount in the amount that they should have got than what other bad had been the case if this evidence to be available they would have got a proper settlement and that's what threw them out as they're after now. the british lawyer thinks evidence of that confidential meeting is crucial it took place in july nine hundred sixty nine but the ministry of health and bone. senior management should come to guns manufacturer were invited to discuss the settlement of the counter gun case according to a note from the ministry. and the goal of the meeting is to reach

a legal agreement with the company as to how country gun victims can be compensated . when the parents association of the deformed children hands of the plans hand asks to see the details of the meeting the minister say is under no circumstances will the association receive any details as advice is explicit because art in document the. or would be. signs all those of you how kind of all are. doing for along with. the dish to fill half a century later in the summer of twenty fifteen a meeting between british for the most victims and representatives of the german government took place at germany's embassy in london i think they heard the concerns we have they obviously refute the fact that they interfered in the criminal trial but they've never actually answered individually the documents that we put to them. the british m.p.

simon horne was also present at the german embassy meeting. those really i think two hobs the first half i thought was very positive so clear the mood music coming out from officials on the on the german side of the table as it were it was very encouraging that they wanted to have a dialogue they wanted to see this brought to a conclusion we had to leave as we had to go back to the commons to vote and then the notes following that seem to suggest that they dried up like a classroom and it was very much we're not going to get involved this is the only meeting we're going to have to discuss this effectively that's the end of the news i think if there was anything which came out of the meeting which we had at the embassy in july of last year is that there had been a long debate point as to whether the drug which had been taken by british mothers had been manufactured in germany or had been manufactured under license in the u.k.

and it is now very clear that the german officials taking tided the point that the third trust in the u.k. has been making for many a long year that there was no. manufactured in the u.k. and that which was taken by british mothers or expectant but those had been manufactured in germany. this is knowledge to cylinder might victims receive decades too late since the one nine hundred seventy s. people affected both of them i'd have only been able to file compensation applications with the german government anyone who does file an application must renounce all claims against the manufacturer. many european victims say they have received little or no compensation at all. the federal ministry of family affairs declined to be interviewed. nor would it comment on the meeting with british counter victims of the german embassy in london

. it stated only that the country go on trust fund grants financial support when claims are grounded. christie and paul tell also apply to support. yeah and a clown from college don't have one as an instance of one in a skit here or i and box spring bet. always goes to tarboro oh my no doubts an english to become yeah and it's good bye to how it's one of one armored wish to get in wouldn't of my macbook air as it could be a clear investment of the east us baskets bookish ones and if you shop at the office on of them you get to work their own. that he is but about how can we spend a third of our lives in our beds our beds are important and for alfred to be turned down on that basis is utterly ridiculous and so it's abundantly clear to me that applying to the call to go isn't going to be

a solution for us at all and so therefore for us to be subjected to a ridiculous system bureaucratic system at this point in our lives it's not going to meet our needs all we need is money that we can use in the ways that we know that will suit us best. the formosa little manufacturer no longer considers claims from the victims of the drug to be the responsibility. the tougher. side. want. because we're tiny unclogging going to name it isn't hard to get you double tough no they're fun to put look for tiger seeded border. of i know him from life and until august it's. supporters not paid by grown until but the federal government. one of many who is applications to the german counter gun foundation were denied this lorraine mercer sometimes i think.

because. a few months back. when i move in. it's getting known steve. some of the late complications are only now becoming apparent murcer need supplementary oxygen just to be able to breeze there is a fund in germany connected to their cause against gift which allows the later might is to apply to it for financial assistance there's also a fund that's been set up by agreement to apply to that but you can apply to them saying you wanted some more money but you have to. prove first of all you've applied to a little more trust get some money and that they have said no and that you've applied to all the charities only applied to local government get assistance when you've been rejected by everybody you can then ask green atar they would like to

contribute some money towards your. financial assistance but you're not really aware that because green a tile hasn't made it public to thalidomide is outside of germany in fact the company established a private foundation. however does not want to talk about it nor do they want to discuss how application decisions are made they say they don't want to provoke and . we believe the general government should be responsible for paying for those i met health is that we all have only female me get that money remains needs to be met. in great britain so robert nelson is a well known judge has written to the german federal ministry of family affairs. the purpose of the letter was to bring home to the german government the problems that the flow of the midas face and the shortfall in finances that we felt they had

in the amount they got and the amount that they would in fact need i wrote it to the relevant minister and there was no reply as such. for decades parents never knew what was going on behind their backs during the criminal trial they were only allowed to be spectators. the thalidomide manufacturers defense strategy was to convince the prosecution to agree to dismiss the case. they knew that they didn't just have the regional government justice minister on their side but the federal government too however the dismissal of a criminal. case requires strict conditions these according to the prosecution service were not meant.

about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last wrong turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath . but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like him it said one does not leave

a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. rushes by and reaching out for decade for years down under bowden saying well we got a trade war this war trade and america's like we all know you're an existential crisis because we have to give these deadbeats in congress a lot more money if they're going to create a fake enemy called who they're with demand three hundred million dollars made all you go to trade with china and the eastern craven is still grow to become much for join a five foot six line dollar gobby all america shrinks. feel enough to nearly have a bottomless sorry in china six oir get. an

estimated eighty five percent under-age refugees are now living in greece. go. home in their euro food during. the many sell their bodies just to make ends meet. and all the sins in their. lifetimes can. also has turned to dealing drugs to make a living. this. little. game and then you. move. from north korea to syria's president donald trump's foreign policy is literally all over the map north korea says it is open to direct talks with washington only

to be met with preconditions in syria peace is within view but this is not what the trumpet ministration wants. in some american cities the police simply cling to read teaching. people who walk on the streets of the united states who are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect that people are no more afraid of police than. you can see something happening and this is like i don't want to call the cops. rather than call the cops in. their lives chasing the with their fingers on the trigger you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to die so yes unfortunately around around here we end up killing our guns are. told from. police to.

washington accuses moscow of not upholding a un supported ceasefire in syria that's according to the latest press briefing from the us state department. terrorist shell a humanitarian corridor in syria's eastern ghouta shortly after it's established venting civilians from leaving the we're told this strict. israeli soldiers arrest ten people in a raid on the palestinian palestinian village including a fifteen year old boy with a severe head injury allegedly inflicted by the i.d.f. two months ago. plus a computer recycling expert in the us faces jail and a hefty fine for the pirating microsoft software but he insists he was only trying to refer bush p.c.'s. i think it was helping people extend the life

cycle of their electronics to combat planned obsolescence and to make sure that we keep as much work. product out of landfills is possible i. i. thanks for tuning in this. this is r t international russia isn't sticking to the un back to cease fire in syria the u.s. state department said on tuesday it also blamed mosco for continuing to support syria's president bashar al assad let's listen russia is certainly not adhering to the cease fire they are not adhering to the cease fire because they continue to sponsor and back but. government. and of course live to washington now we can speak to our correspondent samir recall that we had a snippet from the briefing at the state department samir just tell us

a bit more about what happened while russia says that the syrian army is following the ceasefire but militants are not and according to the russian recompilation center they've said that militants have fired over twenty mines and continue to shell damascus but now it states that all of syria should be a humanitarian zone not just some corridors let's take a look at what she had to say. i find it are rhotic when russia calls for a humanitarian road a humanitarian zone you know what the humanitarian zone is it's the entirety of syria not just one little area that russia acutely tries to carve out it should be the entire country because that is what russia and those fifteen other countries agreed to in the u.n. security council resolution. now she also said that russia failed in destroying syria's chemical weapons but first it wasn't a russian effort it was a un led effort and second the o.p.c. w.

the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons has verified multiple times that syria's chemical weapons have been destroyed but now are also claimed that what's happening in good is very similar to what happened in aleppo but we are watching what is going on and i spoke to this on thursday the horrific attacks taking place against civilians in eastern guta it is not too dissimilar from what happened last year and a lot though it is horrific now back in twenty sixteen the u.s. condemned russia for humanitarian corridors in aleppo which were meant to save civilians claiming it was a force and involuntary evacuation but this is how foreign minister lavrov defended them. the facts that just as it's. thanks in the mass evacuation of civilians took place too in order to destroy the terrorists who didn't want to leave and then everyone said that it was a very risky operation because civilians could leave and never return you might

even be considered a sneak cleansing and yesterday lipos governor said that two hundred thousand of those who lived aleppo have come back that's a third of all buildings damaged by war have been restored and this process is continuing now we've been hearing conflicting reports all throughout the syrian crisis from all sides but it's different it's difficult to say where this will go. and he thanks for that update us america in washington d.c. . now at that press conference a press briefing room just listening to that really was a response to recent events in syria where terrorists shelled a humanitarian corridor that was established to allow civilians to leave the war ravaged district of eastern ghouta just outside the capital damascus that was according to russia's defense ministry that helped set up the route before it was attacked just minutes later now here are pictures from the corridor checkpoint this is on the side of government controlled territory but jus to terrorist shelling not a single civilian on tuesday was able to use that opportunity to leave the area

after arabic correspond bruni is on the ground for us in damascus she visited the checkpoint. at the had no civilians have come out of the corridor yet minutes after it was opened the area was challenged five times several syrian soldiers were injured snipers have acid been firing at those patrolling the corridor that could be why civilians are in using this route out. located just outside of the syrian capital and it's been occupied by various rebel and terrorist groups for years we've marked it here in this area in red violets recently escalated both sides involved have accused each other of targeting the civilians in the region to the north is where the humanitarian corridor was set up by russia that's located in the wifey didn't district as i said to the north now the humanitarian effort to provide safe passage for those desperate to escape being coordinated with the syrian red

crescent buses ambulances that are on standby to evacuate civilians people inside the rebel enclave are being notified about the location of the code or via leaflets text alerts and loudspeakers first points they've been set up near the exit to help those in the most urgent need of medical assistance but despite these efforts is still feared civilians will be prevented by rebels from leaving the warzone on as they have has more. civilians dying they're dying from rebel shells from government bombs from bullets shrapnel and crossfire in damascus and in east ghouta the u.n. cease fire is dead on arrival no one stops shooting so the syrians are trying their own way humanitarian corridors backed by russia thousands of these leaflets being dropped over east ghouta by syrian helicopters

there are instructions for civilians on how to get out of the war zone maps with arrows follow them if you dare women of all the jews and children reportedly continued to be forbidden by local armed groups from leaving the area for security reasons they've done it before in aleppo is limited rebels wouldn't let anyone out they shot at civilians trying to feed to government held areas they shelled humanitarian crossings and if you made it out that punish your relatives same story in ghouta this is being going on for years the evidence indicates that non-state armed groups in eastern cooter and in particular josh islam are also responsible for inflating the price of food and other basic necessities they're arbitrarily restricting the movement of civilians wishing to leave and abducting and arbitrarily detaining people. you'd think this is important right all those

pundits and activists screaming about gouda and not once have they asked the pertinent question how can i think we welcome the security council's decision regarding a ceasefire because of the burden on our families and he said this suffering must be lifted the decision to stop the bloodshed caused by the regime an ace in my abdomen the alarm. when the regime is not abiding by the un resolution i cannot stand still and watch and defend myself and our families in ghouta why are they still there despite their access to the spokes person of the army of islam the jihad this group that holds east ghouta they have not asked him why his group is blocking woman and kids from leaving a war zone it's good press for him to stand there and complain that innocents are dying while meeting that they're dying big because his own rebel fighters won't let

them leave the armed groups inside east ghouta will not allow those people to leave i think human are you almost as you know a program that all these bloody war and in syria so it will continue i don't believe it will stop but definitely with this human humility included or actually could do it use that human casualties among those people the british foreign office invited the russian ambassador to discuss the humanitarian situation in eastern guta we had an exclusive opportunity to speak to him shortly after that meeting. of course you know we will be disappointed with the statements of the secretary johnson when he spoke yesterday at the parliament and he blamed russia for humanitarian situation and we said this is directly straight straight forward so we discussed with the british you know what the british could do in

a practical terms but to support this resolution you know whom they could talk and the what kind of signals they could send to the. you whether it's a neutral position or whatever to be on to people in order to save lives and i'll tell you that so that was a very pragmatic conversation and i think that the minister duncan. here received my message and he promised to send the right signals to the people with whom they are connecting on the ground in order to to have this cease fire and to feel the result from my point of view it was a very useful conversation we need the british on board but. of course as i said we don't accept the. the statements like the russians are guilty for the humanitarian situation where on the scene both were trying to do our best in order

to release syria from the terrorists. so the soldiers have carried out a pre-dawn raid on a palestinian village arresting ten people among them a teenage boy still recovering from an alleged gunshot to the head sustained at the west bank protesting months ago the raid itself was caught on video by one of his family members. well ten palestinians were arrested by the i.d.f. in a pre-dawn raid five of them were mine is and among those detained was mohammad khatami meat who was seriously wounded after an israeli soldier fired at him with a rubber bullet back in december and now he is currently waiting for surgery to help restore part of his skull off it was removed in emergency surgery following that december incident.

gautam number two to learn with what i'm going to. the israeli army has confirmed that it a race to tell me overnighted says that the service was approved by an army physician and now after being arrested he was interrogated and has been subsequently released during that interrogation it seems as if he was forced to say that he fell off a bike and when his head hit the handlebars that course the injury now his family has refused at this and in fact doctors have proven that the injury to his head was in fact caused by every other bullet he is the younger brother of tommy who is currently in detention awaiting trial off to slapping an israeli soldier who arrived at her home.

now that was from back in december when soldiers arrived at the tell me home to rest mohammed naturally i heard was extremely angry and her brother are regularly at protests and demonstrations with israeli soldiers there very often in confrontations. investigation into one of the worst cases of child sex abuse in the u.k. is stalling due to a lack of qualified personnel the abuse scandal centers on the sexual exploitation of fourteen hundred children of the course of three decades in the northern british town of them it was revealed that eighty percent of the suspected perpetrators replied to start the origin of these political looks or why the probe launched three years ago is still failing to make progress according to this senior officer investigating the scandal one hundred more police officers are needed to uncover the truth so far police have managed to interview seventeen percent of

a possible one and a half thousand victims due to a shortage in specially trained detectives. it's a really specialist area engaging and interviewing vulnerable victims a lot of our victims were children when they were abused but they're now adults and have associated problems as a result of that abuse including suicidal tendencies mental health issues drug and alcohol addiction the author of scandal led to a national outcry when the scale of the child abuse was first exposed back in twenty twelve two years later an independent inquiry found that for decades through systemic failures in policing and social services the sexual abuse of children went on right under the noses of the or thora ts gangs of men the majority of whom were of pakistani origin preyed on mostly white girls aged from eleven to fifteen many of the victims thought they were in relationships with their abusers when the

crimes were uncovered local authorities in yorkshire were accused of failing to tackle the problem partly through fear of being branded racist on the part of the authorities in their cases they were actually saying that these girls made a lifestyle choice it's about the fact that the authorities didn't want to be branded racist ringleaders of the rodham grooming going last year i think distant relatives of mine but you know what it doesn't change the responsibility that people like me have on tackling this particular issue so i've been campaigning against child sexual exploitation and street gang grooming gangs who are predominantly of a pakistani origin for over ten years the investigation into rather abuses has cost ten million pounds so far four individuals have been convicted eighteen have been charged and thirty eight have been arrested no one senior has been held to account

and with just seventeen percent of the victims interviewed so far all this. may just be the tip of the iceberg. bombshell bestseller fire and fury reportedly use numerous tricks to gain revelations about the trumpet ministration included author michael wolff claiming to the white house that the book and its title would be much more favorable and apparently that's far from being the only trick up his sleeve as wolf appeared to demonstrate when confronted with an extremely uncomfortable question about his claims. he wrote the book that president trump didn't want you to buy so you. can start your trump white house might go michael wolff michael wolff the author of fire and fury joins me now michael wolff welcome i want.

a t.v. interview just last month that you're absolutely sure that donald trump is currently having an affair just last week backflips and said i quote i do not know if the president is having an affair do you are the president and the first lady an apology mr wolf. i can't hear you. do you are the president and the first lady and apologies but i can hear you. you were at the loosely sure that the president having an affair i'm not getting i'm not getting anything. you know hearing me but i'm not getting anything. californian who's an expert in recycling electronics has found himself in

a whole heap of trouble over his idea to help people save money when it comes to upgrading their computer is microsoft though accused of creating thousands of illegal copies of its software he argues it was only using it to extend the life span of old p.c.'s but he faces up to fifteen months in prison and a possible fifty thousand dollars fine the good insists he was acting within the law. the microsoft software itself gets missing d.l.l. files and below where and viruses but over time will break down the software so that it doesn't operate and function as intended you might have seen that before if you ever use a computer and it just seems to slow down over time and it needs a every fresh which is what the purpose of a restore cd is so you have a license with your computer and that follows your computer in perpetuity until your computer's no longer working and that computer can be used by hundreds of people thousands of people and the license follows the hardware so the hardware itself over time might get missing d.l.l.

files or it might get viruses and bloat where and what you'll end up doing is you want to refresh your re-install your valid copy of license on your computer and to do that you need three things you need to see a way you need a license and you need to restore media restore cd the restore cd is free you can download it anywhere online but the c.e.o. and license have to come from microsoft they're the only ones that can provide you with that microsoft claims it missed out on sales of its license products and they accuse one good of piracy prosecutors claim he made twenty eight thousand illegal copies of microsoft's operating system last year london was convicted at an appeals court allowed him to argue his case small he says he's made aim was to encourage people to use refurbished computers instead of purchasing new ones. i know that if you were to make copies of their license or their seal ways you're directly

stealing from microsoft and you deserve to go to prison but if you are providing the restore cd which is the free thing that you can download for free or that's given to you with your computer if you provide that to consumers you're giving them the ability to repair their legally own property and i see no problem with that i believe in extending the life cycle of electronics and i believe that it helps us be more efficient in society for able to use these computers as long as they last i was very surprised when microsoft put me in that same circle with the people that are out there hacking or stealing their licenses or seal ways i mean that is a crime crime that deserves to be punished because you're directly stealing from somebody all i was attempting to do was help consumers use what they legally own i've been a recycler for sixteen years and all i care about is the environment i want to make sure the things that work continue to work for the benefit of mankind but it seems

recently and extending the life of products isn't something many companies want you to consider to dip is they prefer you to keep buying new.

russian trolls are in the spotlight again this time u.s. politicians and mainstream media are accusing them of spreading havoc in american society after the florida school shooting in explains. when informing us about the alleged danger of russian bots and internet trolls american politicians have been very clear about the intent behind russian conspiracies and sinister operations they want to sow division among the american people and one issue they've latched on to is this second amendment gun control debate apparently the russians are very big fans of our second amendment they don't particularly want to second member of their own but the really glad that we have one the russians would be thrilled if we were doing nothing but killing each other every day and sadly we are according to

facebook's security chief the russians don't favor gun control or oppose it they just want to incite americans against each other and make sure that we don't see eye eye to. the ads and accounts appeared to focus on amplifying divisive social and political messages across the india logical spectrum touching on topics from l g p t matters to race issues to immigration to gun rights so russian trolls are inflaming emotions over any sensitive issue guns included but it looks like we can locate some russian bots not only on facebook but who else is inflaming sentiments over that oh so sensitive second amendment will take away your second amendment which we will never allow to happen don't take away to provide for some people that might be obvious but trump isn't the only one selling division many in legacy media

love mass shootings. thank you guys with loving. others threatening messages against gun owners a billboard in kentucky has been vandalized with the words kill the n.r.a. that must be the work of russian trolls also if you follow the premise it seems like the mainstream american media is also working for the russians left leaning media outlets immediately calling for more gun control right leaning outlets focusing on mental health connecticut governor dan malloy says president trump and republicans have blood on their hands after the deadly massacre in florida gun control but it's not it's people control when any organization spends ten of millions of dollars promoting the interests of gun corporations to influence what happens in our elections then yes our democracy is a little broken by americans on both sides of the issue are now screaming at the top of their lungs from the highest levels of government to child survivors of mass

murder accusations are flying everywhere now if this is all just some big plot from moscow we really have a big problem here in america. i have been a doing this professionally in terms of you know this type of comedy for thirty years now and in thirty years i think before the russian bots came along they've been saying the same thing every single time in my native florida so i know something about that so if there were russian tsar claiming to take credit for involving themselves and insinuating themselves in this particular argument they're too late because this has been going on for thirty years and nothing's changed. voting is underway in the russian presidential election at least it is in northwest siberia the first region to cast ballots due to the remoteness of his polling stations and this severe weather election

officials have been using all possible means of transportation from helicopters snowmobiles. ok i do appreciate your company throughout this evening if you can stick around mcculloch eight parties will be here to be right up to date in half an hour.

i am i am going there i think. that back there i thought i'd. rather. live well you know i think. with more make this manufacture consent to step into the public wells. when the running closest protect themselves. with the flame and merry go round the sun be the one percent.

nor middle of the room sick. i mean. in some american cities the police. cling to reputation people who. are at risk from the very people who are supposed to protect. people are afraid of . those. who can see something happening he says. rather than call the cops in the. chasing the. same goods on the trigger you never know better safe than sorry i don't know that someone else is going to. get. around here we are. told from some. place to.

from north korea to syria's president donald trump's foreign policy is literally all over the map north korea says it is open to direct talks with washington only to be met with preconditions in syria peace is within view but this is not what the trumpet ministration wants. i am asked as are this is the kaiser report they'll never stop me they will never stop me not even a three hundred million dollars from the congress to give more to evade to fight me never democrats russia gate fake hoax. i guess you know to talk about them is let's consult. have no idea how you just

open the show but it is extremely early in new york city every thing in new york city is extremely early all the time right but one thing we always recount and recap when we travel to new york city is as we get the chance to watch cable news and it helps us understand the divided american population and it's been very fascinating to watch that each side now has their elaborate conspiracy theories which i find quite interesting i do believe it's very lucrative especially for cable news they need to sell advertising and it's quite lucrative it appears to sell conspiracy theories so in the united states we've had in yet another mass shooting there probably will have been another one by this imus era so don't confuse it with that one this is the want to park on florida and you know you tune in to any of the right wing the republican based. cable news and

they say that there are crisis actors and that this is a false flag this shooting this mass shooting that killed seventeen teenagers you tune into the democratic loyalty party news and you find out that is actually puton we did this so like they're like this are like it's so weird to be outside the conspiracy theory and outside of this sort of party loyalty that you just look at them both and go what the heck is going on here like this i can actually shooting some parks were the product of the n.r.a. the national rifle association was ok there's some logic to it you know they've been lobbying to put guns into every american and you know for decades including fetuses you know to try to shoot their way out of the womb and case they get a you know an aborted but then they also went down the path of saying that putin is financing the n.r.a. therefore the parkland florida shootings are the fault of putin the thing that's

quite interesting to me is that there seems to be a total it's like watching t.v. series last member of the others on the other side of the aisle and they're each the same people inhabiting the same island but each side now after decades of this sort of programming of you're either republican or democrat that neither side seems to like they they seem totally foreign and afraid of each other and they're so terrified of each other obama was you know actually born in kenya member all those birth ers and he was born in kenya and he's a secret muslim and all sorts of crazy stories about him now the same thing from the democratic press to some there's something really uniquely crazy uniquely un-american about trump member obama uniquely un-american chum uniquely un-american and the other side responsible and i want to read this quote from a new yorker piece by mark masha gessen and the headline was the fundamental uncertainty of my. alors russia indictments and in that she looks at the american

people the one just pointing to and she says while most people believe themselves to have a solid grip on reality they imagine their compatriots to be gullible and chronically misinformed this in turn means that we no longer have a sense of shared reality a common imagination that underlies political life in a society with a strong sense of shared reality a bunch of sub literate tweets and ridiculous ads will be nothing but a curiosity even the fact that russians put money into organizing rallies and demonstrations across the political spectrum would be absurd surely they didn't force people to join these rallies sincerely held beliefs brought people to the rallies that it makes no difference to the broader political life whether someone paid for an actress to take part this notion that. you know the otherness of the other side of the political spectrum here is it's just bizarre to see if you're not part of it if you like if you see them both as american both sizes american

a uniquely american it's a shakedown you know they want more money to spend on themselves in the political classes because they're greedy so they make up an enemy in this case russia that makes no sense if you look at a logically because how is russia grown as economy from two hundred billion to two trillion through trade and who's the biggest trading partner in the world the u.s. so russia's been reaching out for decades for years now under putin saying look we got a trade more there's more trade and america is like no no you're an existential crisis because we have to give these deadbeats in congress a lot more money and they're going to create a fake enemy called putin with a demand three hundred million more dollars meanwhile you go to trade with china and the east and create the new silk road and become a fortune in a five trillion dollars economy all america shrinks you say there are two ships passing in the night russia and america america is going to soviet ization and russia is going to basically what the way america wasn't a fifty's putin if you want to make a comparison is more like eisenhower or is this weirdo in office now like khrushchev so that was arms. what i see on m s n b c one i see on fox two crazy

conspiracy theorists shouting at each other about how uniquely crazy the other side is one side basically elects kenyans who are secret muslims trying to bring shariah law to america the other side things like they're secret kremlin puppets so let's talk now about the financial press here's a crazy story from the financial press how people are like literally there's a mental breakdown here commodities expert is nonsense and i'll never buy any two months later i bought stock in a fake blog chain company that was exposed as a fraud and dropped thirty three percent in a single day that was jamieson tweeting about dennis gartman dennis gartman is a very well known guy on wall street he writes the gartman newsletter lots of big banks here on wall street buy his newsletter for his expertise on coming out of days he was on c n b c two months ago dissing hard how big calling is nonsense and i'll never buy any well apparently he had to inform his investors that he's

basically made a disastrous bet and lost big time on riot block chain remember this it was like a biotech company that suddenly out of the blue changed their name to a riot block and that they were going to become a block chain company instead and their share price like sword risky crypto bet blows up dennis gartman retirement account making big bets on speculative assets with retirement money is something most advisors warn against but big point fever is prompting all sorts of puzzling decisions for sixty seven year old dennis gartman the longtime publisher of a namesake daily investing newsletter and television commentator that was putting a volatile stock called riot blog chain into his very own retirement account the wager is proving to be painful o'gorman has a worse track record than james cramer is notoriously wrong and just makes catastrophic only bad calls and this is just the latest because it's like a rock. test if i'm saying that correctly i haven't studied psychology in

a few years but it exposes people's sub conscious and unconscious desires and what they actually are so he's a moron that he's been made to look more of a moron people who are maybe quasi nycole become full blown megalomaniacs are seeing even the big point space with the rise of big cash which is a project to feed megalomania this was drawn out by the genius that is it so she's invention if you are calm patient investor with the not aspirations to run the world you get rewarded spectacular like jeremy gardner our friend out in san francisco who's just a nice guy who saw something that looked good and now he's you know billionaire so it brings out who you are but in a more exaggerated way and so this is flaming all of the nincompoops who don't know anything about financial markets and rewarding those who are simply patient and saying this is a world changing game changer that it is it's also called foam o. and from all these to be you being wrecked so this guy had fear of missing out. you

also can't trust a lot of people are saying he was shouting he was telling people two months ago that big question is nonsense it's insane don't get involved it's stupid what it is stupid investment and it turns out that he put his money in the the most clearly obviously stupidest of them all like everybody we set we talked about. all the red flags that were raised about this so-called investment it was listed on the stock exchange and people poured into it for no reason at all though he didn't use homework if he had done his homework and studied what bitcoin is he would not have chased this dragon down the rabbit hole to mix a few metaphors metamorph that sounds like a smore that sounds like a cookie that's like a dessert oh my god we're talking about he would be more credible had he done his research but he did not so he's chasing this fake company nonsense and it's a catastrophic failure but that's what they pay him for to ridicule him he goes on to. so people can ridicule him he's a punching bag as

a human punching bag it has nothing up here but like stalemate balls. inside is burnt out many years ago continue with my theme of this fake news of each side has fake news in the queues the other side of fake news fake news is advertisements now everywhere you walk around new york city you hear ads for this is not fake news are chicken cutlets are the best you know they everything is like that t.v. series lost means naked lunch is like people. last week naked lunch i want to be in that film this is what so of course he blames fake news friday it was one of the worst days we have suffered through in a very long time he wrote in the guardian letter and to say we were along a sizeable position in a block chain focused company that was the victim of a c n b c exposé which sent the shares down more than twenty percent and which sent us down for the year to date having been up six percent he's a masochist i mean if there were more on futures on the cboe he'd be rich because he himself is the biggest moron of all and then here's another big going story

again you know many governments in the world are trying to protect us from social media they're trying to protect us from twitter they're trying to protect us from facebook. that you should only tune in to m s n b c to get your official democratic news and you should only tune into fox to get your official republican news and don't listen to those ordinary shows out there on twitter and facebook and your like your cousins and uncles don't listen to those people there because their minds might not be able to contemplate and understand fake news because here's another headline poland central bank secretly paid you tube burgers to slander kryptos so a polish youtube or with around one million subscribers was paid about thirty thousand dollars by the central bank of poland in collaboration with the polish financial supervision authority to portray crypto currencies and the negative light without disclosing the payment and the video now here is the difference between.

paying you know you tubers to descript o.-o. do you see any big corners crying saying oh my god because he's being undermined our institutions are blocked cim is being undermined by these people being paid by the central bank to discard currency now because we're like bring it on like nothing's going to take it down we have faith and our foundations and our institutions and our and what we believe in we have faith in it we don't like you can say whatever you want to about it you can say all the fund you want in the world doesn't matter we don't have that same sort of conspiracy theory minded absence of faith and our own beliefs such as michael pollan but quite expose them they were just a little bit criminally minded and a little bit psychotic and run by bad actors and serial fraudsters but bitcoin exposed central bank of poland to be outright fraudsters and criminals so thank you

but going to such a bank of paula now has no credibility well in the second half we have a really special guest and i'm really excited to find out who it is stay tuned don't go away or see about it. i.

hey everybody i'm stephen bob taft hollywood guy you know suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and r.v.'s to suggest this is my buddy max famous financial guru and well just a little bit different i'm honest. no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the road have some fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american pill which.

welcome back to the kaiser report imax keyser time now to turn to one of america's preeminent journalists a follower of the new journalism school talked about by tom wolfe i think on back to the seventy's. as a go next very good thanks for being on the show and as i make that comparison to the new journalism school new journalism because at that time just as a quick digression here this idea that the truth versus facts and facts can be kind of plain and don't necessary give the truth and writers like yourself that are gifted with the language can offer a truth that is transcendent and that we saw this in your bank a rolling stone in times like goldman sachs and you galvanized people's imagination with the fam pyar squid that's a great turn of phrase i mean it really put into context what this is all about and now subsequently what your books in your article as you've continued in that vein bringing really good journalism to the fore and so let's get into what you've been

talking about recently as a new nuclear posture review the n.p.r. you'd never know it watching cable news but you're right that this n.p.r. shows that the president and the people around him believe in the usability of nuclear weapons to talk about this right that would be one of the mean features of the president's new nuclear posture review is this idea that they should completely revamp our nuclear arsenal and we should focus on more flexibility in our nuclear by which the socially they mean they want to design nuclear weapons that have a smaller payload like hiroshima size payload so that they can countenance the use of nuclear weapons without completely destroying humanity which is crazy basically because anybody who's in the scientific community will tell you that a very very limited exchange of nuclear weapons potentially destroys the entire world for a. environmental reasons but the trump posture review pretty much says this openly

and i go with the new president this country because there's only one story in this country and it's you know trumps ongoing you know scandals right down go interim scandal they rushed the gate story you know this is interesting you know and i guess part and parcel of the you're talking about here is that you know the end of the cold war featured what with reagan and gorbachev some agreements between the two countries to scale back on its amik weaponry and there was an agreement not to go east with nato and there was a detente and there was. and there was peace in the valley and that lasted for a while but then apparently there's been heating up recently the cold war is back i guess because it does time to nuke question and what how do you how did that for people say how did this cold war and becoming a hot again like what triggered that in your view i think it's

a variety of factors going back to what you were saying you know it's amazing to think that even at the very peak of the cold war when reagan was calling the soviet union an evil empire and you know gorbachev this is the precursor of that is that they were coming up with agreements like start and salt. because even at a time when they were most motivated financially politically in every respect to keep building nuclear weapons they knew that it was a bad policy and they had a number of near misses both did over the years and all the way up through two thousand and eleven and two thousand and twelve russia and america continually work to kind of scale back. the nuclear says even at the height of the cold war there was an idea to scale back on atomic weaponry because it was so crazy yes right both countries realized that you know michel this destruction was assured if the wind went down this path and they were but that somehow that got flipped now and now there's this. idea under tromp the current posturing is that actually tomic weapons

it's acceptable to scale if you do the right waves rolling down a small nick so it goes to repudiate an entire line of thinking so that's very very dangerous and yours and stop being covered because the mainstream media seems focused elsewhere so talk a little bit about i guess how dangerous is it i mean you've done the work on it so what are we talking about here how what level of danger are we at well i mean i talked about this before the election with trump the one thing you know when you're thinking about donald trump getting elected potentially this is a person who has almost no attention span who acts almost before he thinks he tweets he bypasses his entire staff to go do things he speaks directly to the public is an extremely impulsive individual and he starts things with other countries potentially you know but with through tweets or whatever this is the worst case scenario was an early use of nuclear weapons the one thing he would want to make sure of if he got elected was that this question was paid attention to

constantly and it's not mean we he's with his various kerfuffles with north korea and with this nuclear posture review he's made you know the kind of the world is significantly more dangerous place but we're not paying as much attention to it as we probably should i think this is the one area where everybody should be keeping an eye on trump constantly how do you see overall so far in the trump era what was been kind of the biggest surprises for you so far in the first year now that he's been in office the first thing i would say is that i expected. this huge reckoning within the democratic party yeah after after the loss going to be after trump got elected my first thought was wow they're going to look back and say how can we lose through this guy and say we have to completely rethink how we do business and overhaul their entire apparatus. and that didn't happen we what we've instead have

is were kind of stuck in a kind of perpetual two thousand and sixteen this sort of russia good scandal has kept us sort of frozen in time continually reliving getting all the issues of that election season and trump trump's administration has essentially been frozen in place by this one over again crisis has dominated the news dominated his presidency dominated politics i mean everything has to keep coming back that's one story and it's been it's been amazing and strange to watch you know you're a shrewd observer of the media and you write about it and you're part of it and i want to get a comment on something that seems like something remarkable this happened you know thirty years ago in texas on public access cable a little known guy the mouse jones started this thing and he became very big and before the twenty sixteen kicked off or trompe visited alex jones and kind of kicked off his campaign and a lot of people would get put alex jones in the camp of

a conspiracy theorist sure and someone who is constantly you know bending the facts to suit the narrative that is some may consider wild but then you look at cable t.v. and like the rachel maddow who is number one in cable today and she now sounds exactly like alex jones she's got nothing the conspiracy theories so we just become the defacto model for news america what do you think of that observation and what does that tell us i think you're you're right on i mean i might not characterize rachel exactly that way but you know i saw this coming in the summer of two thousand and sixteen that there was a very very sharp polarization that was going on within the media community we were reporters were talking about it they were discussing the idea that we had to become more actively partisan. trump was so much of a threat that we had to quote unquote do more to. prevent this. and see and so that kind of old school boring third person let's reset the news dispassionately version

of journalism just vanished from the landscape and now everything has gravitated towards what you know what you're exactly right it's the alex jones model it's the sort of fulminating. anger inducing kind of rhetoric that is very very popular and makes a lot of money and also i mean this is a key factor and the one thing that people forget about the trump presidency is that he's making the media a fortune i mean c.n.n. made a billion dollars last year but the media has has been looking at the climbing fortunes for decades and oh but soon as trump came along he's he's made us all a lot of money and i think that has affected coverage tremendously. as leading up to the campaign and you know over the c.b.s. in the way broadcast an empty podium waiting for john and he would say this guy is probably very dangerous i'm paraphrasing but nevertheless he's making us lots of money so the media you know that famous from of the the you know the tail wagging

the dog with dustin hoffman talking about the campaign and they kind of cooking up the. paranoid schizophrenia kind of crazy schemes to get people in office and the media had they had doesn't often playing a movie producer to concoct a story and so that's become the go to scenario now it's just all this think this is all you think about this phrase fake name is like what does that mean exactly yeah it's interesting because one of the problems is the entire kind of modern system of commercial media. designed to make fake news or something like fake news viable it's financially viable to do to do short blasts of angry rhetorical journalism right increasingly every single year we see more and more people are getting all their information from mobile devices not just tablets now but especially phones so what. you're looking for something they can see on their phone and watch for like ten or fifteen seconds or thirty seconds and the

stuff that's really really popular is alex jones style journalism that's the stuff that really really works with this medium and so it's these little me little little you know sensational headlines that's what everybody's trying to do is what be quick and right now you're right typically a piece of rolling stone is what three thousand words four thousand more in six thousand words i say doesn't fit on a tweet it doesn't fit into a you know twitter friendly environment and you know people like me were dinosaurs and you know every generation says that the political divide in america seems to go sharper and sharper but you know this generation you know is watching this group of you know the students in florida who have been now tragically gunned down and they that they seem like they're motivated now they're coming out and saying you know you're threatening us we are fighting for our lives like the generational divide at this particular moment seems really the sharpest has been in a long long time how do you think what your thoughts on the i think we're becoming

more polarized than ever for sure but you're right this next generation the younger generation the morning older generation and younger they're more politically active . in a specific way and maybe my generation was in other words we what we had the sixty's then we went in like the eighty's or was a very go go raw raw reagan esque top gun was a big movie and of django istic and then we went to a very heavy pop says' like pop became like the prevailing cultural norm of mixed in with a little hip hop but now i mean seems like we're all the way back to maybe the kent state days these kids are like you're trying to kill us yeah we don't want to get killed you know is that what it is that a possibility it's really interesting because i think. in my generation rig kids and my generation grew up listening to. our parents who were the sixty's kids and

they had a more ironic take on everything right like you know their parents had been incredibly earnest you know fighters for causes and then they of course grew up and went into business and their kids saw them as kind of phone use and fakers and they had this kind of jaded ironic take on everything which is why you know the eighty's and ninety's were a generation that was really ripe for like stand up comedy and humor and offbeat satire all expire magazine that kind of thing and now we're the pendulum is swinging back the other way i think this next generation of looking at my generation and saying you guys didn't take politics seriously enough you left us with with idiots like trump that office and now we have to get serious and clean up your mess and i think that's what's coming is a new wave of kind of earnestness and seriousness and anger and you know it's not it's not might be dead it might be did irony is. yeah exactly. absolutely all that's going to do with this edition of the kaiser stacy when i guess that me

if you're right just on twitter it's kaiser report it's like. fifty years ago breaking it within to come together as a sleeping pill does this. does. this sort of thinks what terrible. across europe. legal battles demanding at least some compensation. to wait till the physical times itself as well the mind that the people who actually take this call it has never been the justice that has been the. from north korea to syria's president donald trump's foreign policy is literally

all over the map north korea says it is open to direct talks with washington only to be met with preconditions in syria peace is within view but this is not what the trumpet ministration wants. phil on a hot day in a delia bottle sighting in china six oir to. an estimated eighty thousand since under-age refugees are now living in greece. you know storm or go. to your home in there you go food bring. many sell their bodies just to make ends meet. with them the second or the one the second or you know all the sins in that as helpless as in the last things it.

also has turned to dealing drugs to make a living. this thing was unlawful learns a little. game of been. to. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education is being supplanted by the right to access education low it's high education is becoming just another product that can be pulled out and sold so there's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you could also through jacque you look at this also the kind of fairly good to me. more is the place of students in this business model before college i was more now on an extremely more higher education but the new global economic war.

the u.s. state department to keep. moscow are failing to uphold the cease fire in syria that's been backed by the un. while terrorists shelled a new humanitarian corridor in the syrian region of eastern ghouta preventing civilians from leaving the war torn district. israeli soldiers arrest ten people in a raid on a palestinian village including a fifteen year old boy who severe head injury was allegedly inflicted by the i.d.f. two months ago. and a computer recycling expert in the us faces jail and a hefty fine for pirating microsoft software but he says he was only trying to refurbish old p.c.'s. i think it was helping people extend the life cycle of their

electronics to combat planned obsolescence and to make sure that we keep as much working product out of landfills as possible. this is already international coming to you live from moscow on partridge thank you for joining us. the u.s. state department claims russia isn't sticking to the un backed ceasefire in syria choose those press briefing they also blame waskow for continuing to support syrian president bashar al assad russia is certainly not adhering to the cease fire they're not adhering to the ceasefire because they continue to sponsor and back bush are our sides government. well let's cross live to washington our r.t. samir khan has more on the story well hi there samir or tell us more about this latest briefing. well the state department has falsely accused russia of not

adhering to the cease fire due to its support for assad russia however has assured that the syrian army is following the ceasefire but militants are not even though foreign minister lavrov has called on armed opposition groups to comply with the cease fire russia also set up a humanitarian corridor in eastern gouda tuesday morning to allow civilians to leave the district but moscow says that civilians cannot leave eastern gouda because militants are shelling humanitarian corridors now are also spoke about this particular topic now she thinks all of syria should be a humanitarian not just corridors. i find it ironic when russia calls for a humanitarian road a humanitarian zone you know what the humanitarian zone is it's the entirety of syria not just one little area but russia acutely tries to carve out it should be the entire country because that is what russia and those fifteen other countries agreed to in the u.n.

security council resolution now it's russia bashing took another interesting turn when she mentioned chemical weapons saying that russia failed in destroying syria's chemical weapons but it wasn't a russian led effort it was a un led effort and b. the o.p.c. w. the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons which was the organization charged with the mission has confirmed multiple times that all of syria's chemical weapons have been destroyed but it didn't end there now it compared the current situation in eastern khuda to what happened in aleppo let's take a look we are watching what is going on and i spoke to this on thursday the horrific attacks taking place against civilians in eastern guta it is not too dissimilar from what happened last year and a lot though it is horrific. back in two thousand and sixteen the u.s. condemned the rush russia's humanitarian corridors that were meant to save civilians now the u.s. claimed it was a forced evacuation saying that people should have been able to stay in their homes

but check out how foreign minister lavrov defended aleppo's that he met for. the looks just as that. but then the mass evacuation of civilians took place in order to destroy the terrorists who didn't want to leave aleppo and everyone said that it was a very risky operation because civilians could leave and never return you might even be considered ethnic cleansing and yesterday aleppo's governor said that two hundred thousand of those who left aleppo have come back that's a third of all buildings damaged by war have been restored and this process is continuing that the state department is ignoring the real issue at hand that civilians cannot leave eastern good out because militants are shelling humanitarian corridors. made its american in washington thank you very much indeed thank you. well meanwhile in syria terrorists have shelled a new humanitarian corridor in the war ravaged history of eastern that's according to russia's defense ministry which has helped set up the route before it was

attacked just minutes later it was meant to allow civilians to leave the area just outside the capital damascus well these are the pictures from the corridor checkpoint on the side of government controlled territory but due to the terrorist shelling no single civilian has been able to leave the area on tuesday r.t. arabic correspondent was shot bruni is on the ground in damascus has visited the checkpoint. at the had no civilians have come out of the corridor yet minutes after it was open the area was shelled five times several syrian soldiers were injured snipers have also been firing at those patrolling the corridor that could be why civilians are in using this route out. well eastern go to has been occupied by various rebel and terror groups for years it's the area shaded in red here located just outside the syrian capital violence there has recently escalated with both sides accusing each other of targeting civilians to the north is the our

districts where the humanitarian corridor was set up by russia well the humanitarian efforts to provide safe passage for those desperate to escape are being coordinated with the syrian red crescent buses and ambulances are on standby to evacuate civilians people inside the rebel on klav are being notified about the location of the corridor by leaflets text alerts and speakers first aid points have been set up near the exits to help those in need of urgent medical assistance however despite these efforts it's feared civilians will be prevented by rebels from leaving the warzone artie's brad gussy of explains. civilians dying they're dying from rebel shells from government bombs from bullets shrapnel and crossfire in damascus and in east ghouta the u.n. cease fire is dead on arrival no one stops shooting so the

syrians are trying their own way humanitarian corridors backed by russia thousands of these leaflets being dropped over east ghouta by syrian helicopters there are instructions for civilians on how to get out of the war zone maps with arrows follow them if you dare women of all the jews and children reportedly continued to be forbidden by local armed groups from leaving the area for security reasons they've done it before in aleppo is limited rebels wouldn't let anyone out they shot at civilians trying to feed to government held areas they shelled humanitarian crossings and if you made it out that punish your relatives same story in ghouta this is been going on for years the evidence indicates that non-state armed groups in eastern guta and in particular josh islam are also

responsible for inflating the price of food and other basic necessities they're arbitrarily restricting the movement of civilians wishing to leave and the ducting and arbitrarily detaining people. you'd think this is important right all those pundits and activists screaming about gouda and not once have they asked the pertinent question i have not yet at the heart we welcome the security council's decision regarding a ceasefire because of the burden on our families and he said this suffering must be lifted to the decision to stop the bloodshed caused by the regime in east and buy up all money along the. when the regime is not abiding by the un resolution i cannot stand still and watch and defend myself and our families in good time why are they still there despite their access to the spokes person of the army of islam the jihad this group that holds east ghouta they have not asked him

why his group is blocking woman and kids from leaving a war zone it's good press for him to stand there and complain that innocents are dying while meeting that they're dying big because his own rebel fighters won't let them leave the armed groups inside east ghouta will not allow those people to leave i think human are you as you know a program that all these bloody war and in syria so it will continue i don't believe it will stop but definitely with this according to human humility included or actually could do it use that human casualties among those people or the british foreign office invited the russian ambassador to the u.k. alex and they echo benko to discuss the humanitarian situation in eastern go to and afterwards he spoke exclusively with r.t. . of course you know we will be disappointed with the statements of the secretary

johnson when he spoke yesterday in the parliament when he blamed russia for humanitarian situation and we said this is directly straight straightforward so we discuss with the british you know what the british could do in a practical terms but to support this resolution you know whom they could talk and what kind of signals they could send to the. you whether it's a neutral position or whatever to be on to people in order to save lives and i'll tell you that so that was a very pragmatic conversation and i think that the minister duncan. he received my message and he promised to send the right signals to the people with whom they are connecting on the ground in order to to have this ceasefire and to fulfill the resume loosen from my point of view it was a very useful conversation we need the british on board but. of course as i said we

don't accept the the statements like the russians are guilty for the humanitarian situation where on the scene both were trying to do our best in order to release syria from the terrorists. israeli soldiers have arrested ten people in a pre-dawn raid on a palestinian village among them was a teenage boy still recovering from a head injury sustained at a west bank protest two months ago the raid was caught on video by one of his family members. i well ten palestinians were arrested by the i.d.f. in a pre-dawn raid five of them when mine is and among those detained. mohammad khatami who was seriously wounded after an israeli soldier fired at him with

a rubber bullet back in december and now he is currently waiting for surgery to help restore part of his skull off it was removed in emergency surgery following that december incident and it's something. to learn with. the israeli army has confirmed that it a race to tell me overnighted says that the service was approved by an army physician now after being arrested he was interrogated and has been subsequently released during that interrogation it seems as if he was forced to say that he fell off a bike and when his head hit the handle bars that course the injury now his family has refused at this and in fact the doctors have proven that the injury to his head was in fact caused by every other bullet he is the younger brother of tommy who is

currently in detention awaiting trial off to slapping the israeli soldier who arrived at her home. now that was filmed back in december when soldiers arrived at the tell me home to rest mohammed naturally i heard was extremely angry and her brother of regularly at protests and demonstrations with israeli soldiers there very often in confrontations. and investigation into one of the worst cases of child sex abuse in the u.k. storming due to a lack of qualified personnel the abuse scandal centers on the sexual exploitation of fourteen hundred children over three decades in the english town of rather of eighty percent of the suspected perpetrators were of pakistani origin artie's polly boyko looks at why the probe launched three years ago is still failing to make progress according to this senior officer investigating the scandal one hundred

more police officers are needed to uncover the truth so far police have managed to interview seventeen percent of a possible one and a half thousand victims due to a shortage in specially trained detectives. it's a really special listeria engaging in interviewing vulnerable victims a lot of our victims were children when they were abused but they're now adults and have associated problems as a result of that abuse including suicidal tendencies mental health issues drug and alcohol addiction the author of scandal led to a national outcry when the scale of the child abuse was first exposed back in twenty twelve two years later an independent inquiry found that for decades through systemic failures in policing and social services the sexual abuse of children went on right under the noses of the or thora ts gangs of men the majority of whom were

of pakistani origin preyed on mostly white girls aged from eleven to fifteen many of the victims thought they were in relationships with their abusers when the crimes were uncovered local authorities in yorkshire were accused of failing to tackle the problem partly through fear of being branded racist on the part of the authorities in their cases they were actually saying that these girls made a lifestyle choice it's about the fact that the authorities didn't want to be branded racist the ringleaders of the rod room grooming going last year i think the distant relatives of mine you know what it doesn't change the responsibility that people like me have on tackling this particular issue so i've been campaigning against child sexual exploitation and street gang grooming gangs who are predominantly of a pakistani origin for over ten years the investigation into rather abuses has cost

ten million pounds so far four individuals have been convicted eighteen have been charged and thirty eight have been arrested no one senior has been held to account and with just seventeen percent of the victims interviewed so far all this. may just be the tip of the iceberg. we also have a tell all book on donald trump's white house is under scrutiny due to how he acquired his information about story more after the short break.

just. to shape our. find themselves worlds apart. to look for common ground.

welcome back the best selling book fire and fury reportedly used numerous time takes to gave revelations about the trumpet ministration also michael wolff apparently told the white house the book and its title would be much more favorable and he appeared to demonstrate more tricks when confronted with an extremely uncomfortable question about his claims. he wrote the book that president drum didn't want you to buy so you did it. here we go inside the drug white house marco michael wolff and michael wolff the author of fire and fury joins me now michael wolff welcome i was. use it during a t.v. interview just last month that you are absolutely sure that donald trump is currently having an affair called just last week i know you backflipped and said i quote i do not know if the president is having an affair do you are the president

and the first lady an apology mr wolf. i can't hear you. you are the president and the first lady and apologies but i can hear you. joe lovano you did you at least be sure that the president were having an affair i don't i'm not getting in i'm not getting anything. you know hearing me because i'm not getting anything. it's. an american expert in recycling electronics could face prison and a hefty fine over his plan to save old computers going into landfill sites microsoft has accused everything on going all creating thousands of illegal copies of its software he argues he was only using it to extend the life span of old p.c.'s but he faces up to fifteen months in prison and

a possible fifty thousand dollars fine language insists he was acting within the law. the microsoft software itself gets missing dillo files and below where and viruses but over time will break down the software so that it doesn't operate and function as intended you might have seen that before if you ever use a computer and it just seems to slow down over time and it needs a refreshed which is what the purpose of a restore cd is so you have a license with your computer and that follows your computer in perpetuity until your computer's no longer working and that computer can be used by hundreds of people thousands of people and the license follows the hardware so the hardware itself over time might get missing d.l.l. files or it might get viruses in bloatware and what you'll end up doing is you want to refresh your re-install your valid copy of license on your computer and to do that you need three things you need to see a way you need a license and you need to restore media restore cd the restore cd is free you can

download it anywhere online but the c.e.o. and license have to come from microsoft they're the only ones that can provide you with that when microsoft claims it mr ass on sales of its license products accusing long and good of piracy prosecute. twenty eight thousand illegal copies of microsoft's operating system. was convicted of conspiracy and copyright infringement but an appeals court has allowed him to reality his case he says his main purpose was to encourage people to use we found these computers instead of purchasing new ones. i know that if you were to make top the use of their license or their seal ways you're directly stealing from microsoft and you deserve to go to prison but if you are providing the restore cd which is the free thing that you can download for free or that's given to you with your computer if you provide that to consumers you're giving them the ability to repair their legally

owned property and i see no problem with that i believe in extending the life cycle of electronics and i believe that it helps us be more efficient in society if we're able to use these computers as long as they last i was very surprised when microsoft put me in that same circle with the people that are out there hacking or stealing their licenses or seal ways i mean that is a crime a crime that deserves to be punished because you directly stealing from somebody all i was attempting to do was help consumers use what they legally own a better recycler for sixteen years and all i care about is the environment i want to make sure the things that work continue to work for the benefit of mankind and it seems recycling and extending the life of products isn't desirable to some companies who prefer that consumers to keep consuming.

american politicians and mainstream media are again accusing russian trolls of

causing havoc in us society this follows the school shooting in florida that killed seventeen people chemical weapon explains when informing us about the alleged danger of russian bots and internet trolls american politicians have been very clear about the intent behind russian conspiracies and sinister operations they want to sow division among the american people and one issue they have latched on to is the second amendment gun control debate apparently the russians are very big fans of our second amendment they don't particularly want to second members of their own but the really glad that we have one the russians would be thrilled if we were doing nothing but killing each other every day and sadly we are according to facebook's security chief the russians don't favor gun control or oppose it they just want to fight americans against each other and make sure that we don't see eye eye to. the ads in accounts appeared to focus on amplifying divisive social and

political messages across the idio logical spectrum touching on topics from l g p t matters to race issues to immigration to gun rights so russian trolls are inflaming emotions over any sensitive issue guns included but it looks like we can locate some russian bots not only on facebook but who else is inflaming sentiments over that oh so sensitive second amendment will take away your second amendment which we will never allow to happen don't take away is to provide for some people that might be obvious but trump isn't the only one selling division many in legacy media love mass shootings. you guys are loving. others threatening messages against gun owners a billboard in kentucky has been vandalized with the words kill the n.r.a. that must be the work of russian trolls also if you follow the premise it seems

like the mainstream american media is also working for the russians left leaning media outlets immediately calling for more gun control right leaning outlets focusing on mental health connecticut governor dan malloy says president trump and republicans have blood on their hands after the deadly massacre in florida they call it in control but it's not it's people control when any organization spends ten of millions of dollars promoting the interests of gun corporations to influence what happens in our elections then yes our democracy is a little group i americans on both sides of the issue are now screaming at the top of their lungs from the highest levels of government to child survivors of mass murder accusations are flying everywhere now if this is all just some big plot from moscow we really have a big problem here in america. i have been a doing this professionally in terms of you know this type of comedy for thirty

years now and then thirty years i think before the russian bots came along they've been saying the same thing every single time in my native florida so i know something about that so if the russians are claiming to take credit for involving themselves and insinuating themselves in this particular argument they're too late because this has been going on for thirty years and nothing's changed. now voting is under way in the russian presidential election at least in northwest siberia it's the first region to cast ballots to to the remoteness of its polling stations and it severe weather election officials are using all possible means of transport from helicopters to stem of bills.

now we have some breaking news coming from the u.s. state of virginia it's been reported that eleven people are feeling ill of the open letter at the fort myer military base in arlington three people have been taken to hospital and are said to be in a stable condition a crew specializing in hazardous materials is at the scene. now i'll be back with the latest headlines in just over half an hour meanwhile for more on all of our stories.

company. the influence of the german government in that which as i say appears to be the case from the from the papers if this one which on the face of it offends the constitutional principle of no executive should interfere with the. responsibility an exercise of its duty by the judiciary and that's a constitutional principle which the germans accept which is accepted in these throughout europe. just as kind. of even hot so i can stipulate to quite often the hardened often stoffel einstein on this process it's. not a problem i'd slant. and

by doing the top one darfur. and. and does a sunny. british little victims insist that they were denied a fair settlement. but the german foundation was formed under the circumstances. two ways first the physical damage itself. but as well there's a constant reminder that the people who actually perpetrated this crime as never been brought to justice and there has been a couple so you spend your whole life trying to find the answers to those questions and death put blood sugar systems and this is happening to all the to the market

from north korea to syria's president donald trump's foreign policy is literally all over the map north korea says it is open to direct talks with washington only to be met with preconditions in syria peace is within view but this is not what the trumpet ministration wants. for decades spain never publicly discussed the fact that the little might cost deformities. that the drug continued to be sold in spain long after county gun was taken off the market in germany none of this was addressed for a very long time in twenty ten the spanish government officially recognized springs to mind victims a spanish co-ordination he ruled against growing in tell them the judgment which reversed pediatrician class clapp lives in madrid and campaigns for spam is to

limit victims. spain continue to sell the drug until one thousand nine hundred seventy five but under different names. as shown in the abstract for both. the border he'll know. that war or then border must. finish one of his on the school does. the noun does all vile he does of the small ball of them d. or. the left you can. shoot him or. under please what's. missing feel your own. back. from your former. spanish victims for the

association as well. they held a conference in madrid in february twenty sixth. the participants say that none of them has ever received compensation from the german come to gun foundation or from going into. unfair keanu. is on tides. on t.v. isn't that spirit of awe and is only meant they did it and it all is that kind ministerial. aunt ellen have. just begun stalls as all these you have either missed the game is trying to skate gun and you think you don't so it's a big well be an incredible believe the only problem it is in the. groin and tell stresses that the company has nothing to do with the spanish the little mite victims. it denies responsibility for the fact that the drug continued to be sold in spain. out of most rio and that is the. last broken or

middle eagle and also i don't and it's funny we're not. below the national rate and there will be more noise. and knew that it will and response are a lot of. sad again model they must feel about it doesn't actually just come of that what i want is what you say you must return to but i guess a gun doesn't have their. money well given years i asked the german come to gun foundation for help and was turned down. there's no hope of financial support in spain either known years was born in the wrong year. this scene or nothing nothing is the same message sent this. to laugh it just gets dumped. into says. nobody or they've got an accomplice actually on.

and i feel fully other me know it's interesting when they move in he is rarely acquitted or our guy is the same task as a simple yes. some are too old for compensation and some too young and only those who were born within a five year time frame have any chance of getting support. more than if a normal. we are no longer there he. goes into the new system that is and they think oh. no you know how it is a little game of. oh yeah it's in the bin absolute them in the english and the letters in the oval goes by the name of the woman does they get on your feet when they see it that is if you there is on your hand there's just either you mia. for. years and you said then that one must have a diva or

a wild. deal better or. if it one of spain's youngest the little mite victims lives in like go to a village in the basque country he suffers deformities in his arms and legs. marianna got him india is thirty eight years old. as a child doctors couldn't explain his disability they were looking for a genetic disease. only much later did it become clear that his malformations were the result of the solidified his mother had taken during pregnancy as we and even. your enemies seem to well. many here aren't good at move in a matter they're not really very. happy and saw by this. means don't. you know we are missing this. to this day mariano governmental has only ever received help from his

family he never received financial support from the spanish government from the continental foundation or from gruen untold. last year he had to give up his architectural studies because of his worsening physical issues. as well. as an. apartment building. and i. must add that they may want others in the. money for them. but i'll make them follow. the woman. said as one of the. following. lessons i think. if you see a list be got good delish. for decades spanish little victims

acknowledged. since they started to finally have won and then lost trials. now they want to cooperate with the british the little my trust. the recent research in germany gives them renewed hope. the findings have uncovered new information about the little mind cases in spain. tobias on present a discovery that could be useful in court for spain still a to much for the times. this is a judge i mean this to look sharp i suppose so but the speech the document. of the time i know it's not i can say this if i feel i need a bowl knock them out. it's paid off i don't make it all not. going to stay.

still insist on leaving me just about the entire situation put it this far cost jobs in formula one and i'll finish. this. but it's. still commented they are. legal. knock them out. and. in munchen face. in spite of. them are picking on. him. it's just on top of the list. counter gun victims in germany have now been informed of the findings. of the british study the my trust campaigners have come up with a plan b. if they succeed in getting the european parliament on their side the german parliament will have to respond. what we're going to do is with the bathroom

a massive campaign in the german parliament with the help of the bush embassy naseby judicial inquiry in germany to find out the truth here i mean where does that go but the guts of the guns kind of the got the can they go get it the lawyers that. as i've stated will definitely does it dogs for an. hour would kill it would be a have to start with and that's the bill that is london. gives it up. or doesn't stop does this not on either. by admitting that not everything was handled correctly back then the north rhine-westphalia state government intends to use the apology to close the file on the counter gun case. the victims are not satisfied with just the results of a dissertation and an apology they don't believe the scandal has been fully

resolved. really feel betrayed and demand a new investigation. they want an investigation that includes their own personal experience and considers the files they've discovered in the german archives. i felt start to that actually came from some mr absolute often about sort that he had been he documented yes common indeed does so also because the student even does its bias one to be a good one to get in the body of a given given this and of the all the niggas in the hunt by going to the are just you know spent twelve if you will spend a little. entirely dress names on this kind of lot of us guns in sponsor shall not want to be a muslim doesn't want to show my full. time for all my guns the muslim feel i'm sure someone if i mean really amish most people were no problem as much defeat as

us the muslims want to get outside i don't think that some muslims from the heat was the door to. russia's been reaching out for decades for years down under putin saying well we got a trade more this more trade and america is like no no you're an existential crisis because we have to give these deadbeats in congress a lot more money if you're going to create a fake enemy called food with demand three hundred million dollars meanwhile you go do trade with china and on the east and create the news so grow to become much for

join a five trillion dollars economy all america shrinks. from north korea to syria's president donald trump's foreign policy is literally all over the map north korea says it is open to direct talks with washington only to be met with preconditions in syria peace is within view but this is not with the trumpet ministration wants. fill in the trailer dear leave a bottle of sorry china six oir get. an estimated eighty thousand under-age refugees are now living in greece. you know more go. to your home in there you go food drink and. many sell their

bodies just to make ends meet. you know the one the second or the longest since you've been there that. says and i don't let things get . through to dealing drugs to make a living. in .

the u.s. state department accuses moscow are failing to uphold the cease fire in syria that's being backed by the u.s. . while terrorists shell the new humanitarian corridor in the syrian region of eastern goose are preventing civilians from leaving the water own district. israeli soldiers arrest ten people in a raid on a palestinian village including a fifteen year old boy whose severe head injury was allegedly inflicted by the i.d.f. two months ago. and a computer recycling expert in the u.s. faces jail and a hefty fine for pirating microsoft software but he says he was only trying to refurbish old p.c.'s. i think it was helping people extend the life cycle of their electronics to combat planned obsolescence and to make sure that we keep as much

working product out of landfills as possible. thank you for watching the news headlines here at r.t. international broadcasting live from moscow i'm kate partridge and we start with some breaking news coming from the u.s. state of virginia at least eleven people have been taken ill after opening the suspicious letter at the fort myer military base in arlington the building where the letter was opened has been evacuated and a crew specializing in hazardous materials at the scene well let's cross live to our to scale of more and more on this why they can live can you tell us any more about what's happened. well joint meyer base henderson hall that's a military installation near the city of arlington virginia very close to washington d.c. and apparently a package containing

a hazardous material now we don't know what hazardous material it is but a hazardous material was delivered on the scene it was delivered this package and now eleven people are ill because of what was in this package this substance now i understand the arlington fire department is on the scene and people in hazmat suits are also on the scene from what we understand now this point three patients have been transported to the to the hospital in there in stable condition five people displaying symptoms and at this point it's not clear what the substance is we don't know what it is but it's making people ill now this is coming on the on the back of a wave of fake attacks there was a wave of suspicious packages containing white powder that were delivered one was delivered to the trump family one was delivered to the british house of parliament another was delivered to julia songe but all three of those that the substance the white powder in the package was not dangerous it wasn't dangerous substance however

this one that was delivered to this military base does appear to actually be a dangerous substance people are actually ill and actually harmed because of the substance in this envelope we don't know what it is but at this point the roads leading to this military installation actually been blocked off the area is essential under lockdown the fire department is on the scene people in hazmat suits are on the scene people are trying to determine what the substance is that was in this this envelope i'm sure they're trying to get to the bottom of who sent it but this is definitely a security concern people are thinking of the anthrax attacks that that swept the united states almost over a decade ago a lot of fear is on people's minds as they're trying to figure out what exactly is going on here why is. this envelope containing a suspicious substance that is now making people ill why was this delivered and what's going on here dave plenty of questions there caleb maupin thank you very

much indeed if you think. the u.s. state department claims russia isn't sticking to the u.n. backed cease fire in syria in tuesday's press briefing they also blamed moscow for continuing to support syrian president bashar assad russia is certainly not hearing to this cease fire they're not adhering to the cease fire because they continue to sponsor and back but charlotte assad's government. correspondent in washington samir khan has more on the story. russia has assured that the syrian army is following the ceasefire but militants are not even though foreign minister lavrov has called upon armed opposition groups to comply with the cease fire russia also set up a humanitarian corridor in eastern good at tuesday morning to allow civilians to leave the district but moscow says that civilians can't leave the district because militants are shelling humanitarian corridors now are also spoke about this particular topic she thinks that all of syria should be

a humanitarian so not just some corridors i find it ironic when russia calls for a humanitarian road a humanitarian zone you know what humanitarian zone is it's the entirety of syria not just one little area but russia cutely tries to carve out it should be the entire country because that is what russia and those fifteen other countries agreed to in the u.n. security council resolution or the cease fire was agreed upon unanimously in the security council and it applies to all parties except isis and al qaeda so maybe the u.s. should focus on peace efforts instead of criticizing russia but now it's russia bashing took another interesting turn when she mentioned chemical weapons saying that russia failed in destroying syria's chemical weapons but even though it was a russian initiative it wasn't russia's full responsibility to destroy syria's chemical weapons it was a un led effort and the opus e w the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons which is the organization that was with the mission has confirmed multiple

times that all of syria's chemical weapons have been destroyed however it didn't end there now or compare the current situation in eastern gooda to what happened in aleppo but we are watching what is going on and i spoke to this on thursday the horrific attacks taking place against civilians in eastern guta it is not too dissimilar from what happened last year in aleppo it is horrific now back in twenty sixteen the u.s. condemned russia's humanitarian corridors that were meant to save civilians. they claimed it was a forced evacuation saying that people should have been able to stay in their homes but this is how foreign minister lavrov defended aleppo's humanitarian corridors for the folks there just as that. but then the mass evacuation of civilians took place in order to destroy the terrorists who didn't want to leave. everyone so that it was a very risky operation because civilians could leave and never return you might even be considered. and yesterday lipos governor said that two hundred thousand of

those who lived aleppo have come back the buildings damaged by war have been restored and this process is continuing well it seems that the state department is ignoring the real issue at hand that civilians can't leave eastern good because militants are shelling humanitarian corridors. and for more on this we're going to cross live to specialist attorney jennifer braden jennifer thank you very much indeed for joining us i will have a pretty strong was from heaven out there at the state department briefing but what do you think about these charges that she's leveled at russia. i think i mean it's unfortunate because we're seeing a continued pattern of the united states state department that is trying to place blame the truth is that the united states has actually made a very specific answer to your failure in syria engaging the ground there and we did lost a lot of the ability to speak about that and so now it's just because you become on whoever's whoever's in charge or whoever might have something so playing the blame on russia because even the united states state department stated that you know we

haven't been able to do anything staining very clearly that russia didn't have any part in the cease fire the failure of the cease fire or things like that but one thing it was their fault because russia had the power they should have known it at the telethon to put its forces out or to have militants stop doing that they're basically saying that russia is now in charge of syria rather than trying to find a solution as to why this by the hour or any any hour seven hour any amount of cease fire won't work this is not up to russia. this is not up to any one nation it's up to all the nations that are in syria who greeted the cease fire and i think it's just unfortunate to see this continued pattern of really almost immature childish behavior on the happy u.s. state department that is trying to blame russia or some other power when they really have lost their foothold in syria and ability to do anything even if it's a humanitarian reason or to protect people i mean it's also some of the things that have been out which thank you constance russia's efforts to set up the humanitarian

card just saying the whole country as you said the should cease often has but on the flip fine i mean do you think the u.s. is doing enough to implement a cease fire. well of course not and i mean that's one of the saddest parts about this entire and this entire situation specifically with the cease fire is that it really shows that the u.s. has lost a lot of ground and a lot of their voice in syria you know russia came out they said that russia said on february twenty sixth and fact that they were going to allow that kind of cease fire that temporary nine am to two pm or something ceasefire every day every day of the week as much as was needed to bring in humanitarian supplies or to get people out that wanted to get out of course there is an issue that there are some people in eastern buddha that do not want to leave because they're afraid that they're going to lose their foothold but i mean that has nothing to do with with with russia not allowing them or with any sort of power that russia would have would be a thought regime that they're shelling going on and that means that the countries like the u.s. like russia like others that are there need to come together and say it's for

humanitarian purposes regardless of our side rather than taking your u.s. state department or your podium to say russia should have done more because that's essentially what this state department spokesperson said is that russia didn't do enough and because of that it's their fault that they're there to be fired didn't happen when that's just simply not true russia didn't come in to help the situation in syria in order to take over syria that's just not the case you know russia is in there for the same reason the u.s. is in syria and other things and just. different political backing in so rather than doing that we do need to work together more it is just a failure on the united states they have had any thought of but all that would actually help you know situation or that the billion population and we're leaving that jennifer written especially as attorney thank you very much indeed thank you thank you. well keeping with syria terrorists have shelled an issue monetary and corridor in the war ravaged district. that's according to russia's defense ministry which would help set up the route before it was

a time just minutes later it was meant to allow civilians to leave the area just outside the capital damascus well these are the pictures from the corridor a checkpoint on the side of government controlled territory but due to the terrorists shelling not a single civilian had been able to leave the area on tuesday r.t. arabic correspondent bruny is on the ground in damascus and has visited the checkpoint. at the had no civilians have come out of the corridor yet minutes after he was opened the area was shelled five times several syrian soldiers were injured snipers have also been firing at those patrolling the corridor that could be why civilians are in using this route out. well eastern gates has been occupied by various rebel and terror groups for years it's the area shaded in red located just outside the syrian capital where violence there has recently escalated with both sides accusing each other of targeting civilians to the north is the districts where the humanitarian corridor was set up by russia well humanitarian efforts to

provide safe passage for those desperate to escape are being coordinated with the syrian red crescent buses and ambulances are on standby to evacuate civilians people inside the rebel on place are being notified about the location of the corridor via leaflets text alerts and loudspeakers first aid point so been set up near the exit to help those in need of urgent medical assistance however despite these efforts it's feared civilians will be prevented by rebels from leaving the warzone r.t.s. would have guessed it explains. civilians dying they're dying from rebel shells from government bombs from bullets shrapnel and crossfire in damascus and in east ghouta the u.n. cease fire is dead on arrival no one stops shooting so the syrians are trying their own way humanitarian corridors backed by russia

thousands of these leaflets being dropped over east ghouta by syrian helicopters there are instructions for civilians on how to get out of the war zone maps with arrows follow them if you dare women of all the jews and children reportedly going to need to be forbidden by local armed groups from leaving the area for security reasons they've done it before in aleppo is limited rebels wouldn't let anyone out they shot at civilians trying to feed to government held areas they shelled humanitarian crossings and if you made it out that punish your relatives same story in ghouta this has been going on for years the evidence indicates that non-state armed groups in eastern guta and in particular josh islam are also responsible for inflating the price of food and other basic necessities they're

arbitrarily restricting the movement of civilians wishing to leave and abducting and arbitrarily detaining people. you'd think this is important right all those pundits and activists screaming about gouda and not once have they asked the pertinent question. we welcome the security council's decision regarding a ceasefire because of the burden on our families and he said this suffering must be lifted the decision to stop the bloodshed caused by the regime in eastern woman the alarm. you have when the regime is not abiding by the u.n. resolution i cannot stand still and watch and defend myself and our families why are they still there despite their access to the spokes person of the army of islam the jihad this group that holds east ghouta they have not asked him why his group is blocking woman and kids from leaving

a war zone it's good press for him to stand there and complain that innocents are dying while i'm eating that they're dying big because his own rebel fighters won't let them leave the armed groups inside east ghouta will not allow those people to leave i think human are you as you know a propaganda to all these bloody war and syria so it will continue i don't believe it will stop but definitely with this human humility included or actually could do it use that human casualties among those people. the british foreign office invited the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander thank her to discuss the humanitarian situation in eastern goes and afterwards he spoke exclusively with r.t. . of course you know we will be disappointed with the statements of the secretary johnson when he spoke yesterday at the parliament and he blamed russia for

humanitarian situation and we said this is directly straight straightforward so we discuss with the british you know what the british could do in a practical terms but to support this resolution you know whom they could talk and what kind of signals they could send to the. you whether it's a neutral position or whatever to be on to people in order to save lives and i'll tell you that so that was a very pragmatic conversation and i think that the minister duncan. he received my message and he promised to send the right signals to the people with whom they're connecting on the ground you know to to to have this cease fire and to feel the resume lucian from my point of view it was a very useful conversation we need the british on board but of course as i said we don't accept the. the statements like the russians are guilty for the

humanitarian situation where on the scene both were trying to do our best in order to release syria from the terrorists. and american recycling entrepreneur could face jail in a battle with microsoft over copyright screw up more on that story after the break . but politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be pressured. into going to be press that's why the before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should.

apply to many flips over the years so i know the guy even so i got. the ball 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 just kill you to own this and spending to get to the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy like great so what will chance with. the thinks he's going to. welcome by israeli soldiers who arrested ten people in a prieto right on a palestinian village among them was a teenage boy still recovering from

a shocking head injury sustained at a west bank protest two months ago the rage was caught on video by one of his family members. well ten palestinians were arrested by the i.d.f. in a pre-dawn raid five of them were mine is and among those detained was mohammad khatami meat who was seriously wounded after an israeli soldier fired at him with a rubber bullet back in december and now he is currently waiting for surgery to help restore part of his skull after it was removed in emergency surgery following that december incident. to learn with what i'm going to. the

israeli army has confirmed that it a race to tell me overnighted says that the service was approved by an army physician and now after being arrested he was interrogated and has been subsequently released during that interrogation it seems as if he was forced to say that he fell off a bike and when his head hit the handlebars that course the injury now his family has refuted this and in fact doctors have proven that the injury to his head was in fact caused by every other bullet he is the younger brother of tommy who is currently in detention awaiting trial off to slapping an israeli soldier who arrived at her home. now that was filmed back in december when soldiers arrived at the tell me home to rest mohammed naturally i heard was extremely angry and her brother are regularly at protests and demonstrations with israeli soldiers there very often in

confrontations. the bestselling book fire and fury reportedly used numerous tactics to gain revelations about the trumpet ministration also michael wolff apparently told the white house book and his title will be much more favorable and he appeared to demonstrate more tricks when confronted with an extremely uncomfortable question about his claims. he wrote the book that president drum didn't want you to buy so you did. here we can start the drug war you know it's mark go michael wolff michael wolff the author of fire and fury joins me now michael wolff welcome i want to. use it during a t.v. interview just last month that you're absolutely sure that donald trump is currently having an affair just last week i know you backflipped and said i quote i

do not know if the president is having an affair do you are the president and the first lady an apology mr wolf. i can't hear you. do you are the president and the first lady an apology but i can hear you. just all over your state you were absolutely sure that the president was having an affair i'm not getting in i'm not getting anything. you know hearing me i'm not getting anything. and american experts in recycling electronics could face prison and a hefty fine over his plan to save all computers going into law until science microsoft has accused eric longer in creating thousands of illegal copies of its software he argues he was only using it to extend the life span of all p.c.'s but

he faces up to fifteen months in prison and a possible fifty thousand dollars fine longer and insists he was acting within the . the microsoft software itself gets missing d.l.l. files and bloatware and viruses but over time will break down the software so that it doesn't operate and function as intended you might have seen that before if you ever use a computer and it just seems to slow down over time and it needs a a refresh which is what the purpose of a restore cd is so you have a license with your computer and that follows your computer in perpetuity until your computer's no longer working and that computer can be used by hundreds of people thousands of people and the license follows the hardware so the hardware itself over time might get missing d.l.l. files or it might get viruses in bloatware and what you'll end up doing is you want to refresh your re-install your valid copy of license on your computer and to do that you need three things you need a c.e.o.

a you need a license and you need to restore media restore cd the restore cd is free you can download it anywhere online but the c.e.o. and license have to come from microsoft they're the only ones that can provide you with that when microsoft claims it missed out on sales of its license products accusing lindgren of piracy prosecutors claim he made twenty eight thousand illegal copies of microsoft's operating system well last year longer and was convicted of conspiracy and copyright infringement but an appeals court has allowed him to real argue his case he says his main purpose was to encourage people to use refurbished computers instead of purchasing new ones. i know that if you were to make copies of their license or their seal ways you're directly stealing from microsoft and you deserve to go to prison but if you're providing the restore cd which is the free thing that you can download for free or that's given to you with your computer

if you provide that to consumers you're giving them the ability to repair their legally owned property and i see no problem with that i believe in extending the life cycle of electronics and i believe that it helps us be more efficient in society if we're able to use these computers as long as they last i was very surprised when microsoft put me in that same circle with the people that are out there hacking or stealing their licenses or seal ways i mean that is a crime crime that deserves to be punished because you're directly stealing from somebody all i was attempting to do is help consumers use what they legally own i'm going to recycle it for sixteen years and all i care about is the environment i want to make sure the things that work continue to work for the benefit of mankind . and it seems recycling and extending the life of products isn't desirable to some companies who prefer they can chamas to keep. and.

thought that was like nut bar factor eleven stuff but now even though i think it's far fetched. i want to give it a voice i want to talk about it so what do you explain first for our viewers what are currencies what are you how to central banking systems work into that and then give me your take on crypto currencies changing it all if you had currencies are called currencies because they're made on the say so of someone and usually it's the government with the central bank and the currency gets created as a result of two things one though they will have cash in coin and then they will also have as a result of the banking system they will take in deposits and then the banks will use that to make loans and in the process credit is created and money is created so that is the traditional way that this is done now crystal currencies are an interesting thing. the question for crypto currencies in my opinion is how broadly can they be used right now they don't have

a very broad usage outside of speculators and outside of sometimes illicit sources but i'll tell you the one thing that is that is not being taken into account yet on that is fraud and when fraud comes up and when legal cases come up that's when crypto currencies are beginning to find oh wait the government does begin to horn in bit by bit because now say there's a divorce i read this today in an article somewhere on the web that somebody is now being forced to give up some of their bitcoins how is that going to happen well it can't be kept perfectly secret when the legal system comes into existence so i think crypto currencies are going to run into that wall and that's the history of currencies generally even even when you talk about things like a gold standard governments come in to regulate finest and wait and so and then governments come in to debase the currency to buy mixing lead in or tungsten or whatever so. it's impossible to keep the government out of currencies reminds me

there is another case divorce case actually in the news in illinois and in the the proceedings. the wife the spouse is seeking bank records from the husband so currencies have a lot different meaning than they used to when the courts are doing that but explain for our viewers the difference between you know a sovereign system and the way that things operate just in general with how banks and all your money right is in a sovereign system the cash in coin your pocket has the same principle is the same inside the bank as it is in your pocket. the banks can't lend against deposits any longer in the sovereign system whereas they can in the ordinary systems that exist in the world now and as a result. the banks cannot do what's called maturity transformation where when they take in your deposits they then make loans against it there are long that is what basically expands the economy in a wide number of ways but it also leads to the boom bust cycle because if all of

a sudden the the the assets turn bad whether their mortgages or whatever type of loans that are made there are immediate there can be an immediate demand for cash and a run on the bank this can't happen in the sovereign money system basically all of the deposits are walled off into their own little separate subsidiary that's not part of the bankruptcy estate at the bank and so as a result now the bank instead of making money off of your deposits now will have to charge you because they now that they're doing a transactional service for you but they're making no money off it ok now i mean a lot of this is a theoretical not an it in that it would ever happen it right or have it out there conversation but i'm glad we're we're having and i appreciate the boom bust reference because i would never program if we didn't have boom bust cycles indeed but explain to me and our viewers about what's going on over in the e.u.

in switzerland they have the bold ged is it bold geld is it that they're trying to do both ends of the german name for they're trying to do a sovereign system. right right explain that and is that have any possibility of passing or is that sort of a pipe dream it's a pipe dream in my opinion because they tried to actually back the the swiss franc with with gold there was a proposal about three years ago to put a twenty percent gold back in and it failed fairly miserably this is even more out there in the sense that you'd be changing the entire plumbing of the of the financial system there now if you're going to make a radical monetary proposal for reform the time to do it is immediately after a crisis when everybody is sympathetic to it but when things are good then they're not going to do that now there are several reasons why i mean this this is never been tried and as a result if i were a swiss citizen i'd be saying i've got things good already why am i going to take change and there are some downsides you know you're going to have to pay for your

checking account transactional accounts you're going to have to bear with inflation . the central bank will no longer know exactly i mean that they would develop it over time but they wouldn't know right out of the box how do we handle monetary policy and the swiss central bank would be given a lot of powers that they don't exact that they don't have now it would become a much more central bank oriented system which means it would be a more politically oriented system also finally if the government begins to rely on some of the senora that comes out of the system for its funding they would have a difficult time constraining inflation because if the government is relying on the profits of the central bank then it becomes a problem ok so all of that is sort of theoretical not going to happen you say in switzerland get it but interesting to note maybe this is a place where we come back and you know a year eighteen months and we look at this conversation that we explained it here to our viewers i have a question for you before we go given that what you say about the time to make changes after

a crisis i was pretty involved as you might imagine in di frank in writing those rules sixty five of them might buy outright but now we've got this effort to pull. back on regulation do you think that's going to be successful in general. i think some of it's going to be successful i hope the ones particularly for banking are not successful because i thought that was the best of dodd frank systemic risk stuff yeah yeah because there were a lot of things that put in that made the banks have to hold more capital that meant that the banks had to match their assets and liabilities better and constrain the way that they do their lending now that of course cuts bank profits and that's why the banks pushed back for years the banks had returns on equity that were double that of the rest of the finance sector and why because they were able to lever up far more than they should have been david thank you so much david of polish securities and you have a great blog to write thank you thank you for being with us sure appreciate it. we take a quick pause for the promotional cause but hang right here because when we return

ashley banks tells us just how a new law will change the vehicles that are driven in germany plus we speak with chris martenson about why russia has become a new leader in holding physical gold and here are the numbers at the closing bell all three major u.s. stock markets as well as oil and gold in negative territory today but all those red arrows were back in a minute. he everybody i'm stephen both on the task hollywood guy the suspect every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and honored to do so this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different. you can find in your windows up with all the drama

happening in our country i'm shooting the brood have fun every day americans. and the store to bridge the gap this is the great american to. russia's been reaching out for decades for years down under putin saying look we've got to trade more this more trade and america is like no no you're an existential crisis because we have to give these deadbeats in congress a lot more money so we're going to create a fake enemy called food that with demand three hundred million dollars meanwhile you go to trade with china and on the east and create the news so grow to become a fortunately not five twenty six dollar camile america shrinks.

that regard germany's top administrative court has. ruled in favor of allowing major cities to ban older diesel vehicles in an effort to cut pollution every year thousands of people in germany die from pollution and for years environmentalist have been fighting to find ways to stop this from happening this ruling is making many happy however it could mean financial consequences for others many others here's our correspondent actually banks with more right barnow every year experts estimate between six thousand and thirteen thousand people die in germany from excessive amounts of nitrogen oxides in the air which cause a range of health conditions from stroke to sometimes resulting and death most of the nitrogen oxides present in the atmosphere are coming from transportation mostly diesel motor seventy german cities exceed the amount of nitrogen oxide allowed in the air this recent ruling is all in an effort to improve that deadly air quality

levels within germany cities to prevent more deaths from occurring by banning the most heavily polluting diesel cars this move could have consequences for neighboring countries and pose problems for germans all of our mental activists are pleased with the court's decision some companies could possibly see a financial downturn the decision affects twelve million vehicles and europe's largest car market is taking a heavy blow and could possibly force carmakers to pay for costly modifications shortly after the ruling shares and german car manufacturers suffered other moderate decline and this ruling is also placing millions of germans in a bind they now have to figure out how they can travel to work and school and how they should handle owning their calls that will plunge in value if this ban is put into place as important to note the court ruled it would be up to city and municipal authorities to apply the bands but at vies them to impose the bands gradually eggs empting certain vehicles such as ambulances trashed. eccles and

police cars and environmental minister barbara hendrick said quote the court has not issued any driving bans but created clarity about the law driving bans can be avoided and my goal is and will remain that they do not come into force the president of the association of the german automobile industry criticized the course decision insisting the quote ambitious air quality standards in german cities are also achievable without driving bans and the stime it's not known how many vehicles would be affected by the ban if one weren't pows but barton germany is a government that has stayed it for anxious car owners nothing would change immediately en stressed the bands were not and navigable actually there's so many diesel vehicles in the european union much more so of course in the u.s. so it's definitely something we need to be watching thank you for that excellent

report arctic correspondent ashley banks. russia has become the fifth biggest sarver in holder of gold in an effort to diversify its foreign currency holdings here discusses chris martenson the c.e.o. and co-founder of peak prosperity dot com chris thanks for being with us the u.s. holds more gold than any other nation followed by a few others but what do you think behind russia's effort to amass more gold. well it's clear as you just mentioned they're looking to diversify they've been looking to get away from the dollar particularly in dollar trading and to diversify their holdings they've been doing all kinds of bilateral pair trade in domestic currencies with china and it really seems to me that this is part of a longer move by russia to make sure that it can move away from the dollar when you talk about maybe doing these trades can you give us

a sense of the size of these trades i mean is that is that you know they have what surpassed china i guess not as number five but but you know how large are these trades well it i think they're still fairly small in the overall scheme of things at this point but what matters is they have the systems in place you know first you have to figure out how you're going to replace the swift system for interbank settlements internationally and then you've got to figure out how you're going to begin trading in across these different currency pairs they've been doing that and russia and china now have a very very large energy trading and back and forth trade agreement that's going on right now new pipelines have gone in china is the number one importer of petroleum at this point time that will remain true for a long time russia is either the number one or number two exporter of oil so that's really part of this and then i guess the rest of this week we have to look at the fact that china has now initiated is planning to initiate soon training of oil in one based futures with the ability to then convert those one into gold on the

shanghai gold exchange so i think that's how the pieces are beginning to step into place here and this isn't new for russia i mean they did buy i think it was twenty twenty metric tons perhaps in january but they've been doing it for nearly a couple years how do the sanctions on russia figure into them buying gold if it does if they do it all. it's not clear that the sanctions have done much of anything to anything that russia is trying to do including ramping up its oil production or conducting trade remember you know probably the biggest news in this regard was just this last october in two thousand and seventeen we saw riyadh sent a royal delegation to moscow first time in history and about eighty billion dollars of trade deals got inked in that particular moment as well so what we're really seeing is i think is you know the petro dollar got established in one thousand nine hundred seventy four and it's been in play ever since and now we're seeing some very large international moves geopolitically to begin to reorient that particular

power dynamics of art i think this is actually really big news the gold is just it's just the purchase by russia that's just a little bit of smoke in the story that's telling us what the larger sweep of this game is but i don't think you can understand the gold story without understanding the dollar and the petro dollar story and the realignments that are happening it's very interesting chris thank you for that and i do want to shift just to gold separate from russia just briefly gold is a trading around thirteen thirty seven thirteen forty today and we waited a long time for it to go get above thirteen hundred dollars an ounce but what's your take on where gold may be going this year particularly in light of some of the volatility we've seen in the equities markets. well i think gold is still fundamentally a story of it being the anti dollar in this story meaning the dollar goes up gold goes down the dollar's been going down a lot that explains most of the move what we've been waiting for in this volatility

is to see it gold is going to begin signaling something else a lot of people think of gold as an inflation hedge i don't i think of it more as a system stability had so if we start to see gold really move up i think that will tell us that there's additional financial volatility coming along and maybe even systemic issues as we saw in two thousand and eight gold has not signaled that yet though so as a system the bill of the mechanism are a product that is as you say chris i assume than you what you would recommend to investors that they have gold in their portfolio and how much would you suggest that they they put there if you would well yeah absolutely everybody should have gold in their portfolio ten percent is a nice starting point maybe as high as twenty percent of ending on your personal feelings around that and you know historical looks at the data clearly show that gold has a really nice stabilizing effect it hasn't behaved all that well in the last six or seven years but it has a long term part in any portfolio and we haven't seen that start yet you know we're

still not seeing large institutions pension funds and down and things like that with anything more than a fraction of a percent maybe half a percent sometimes sometimes not so i think we're going to start to see more of an exposure to gold and that pick up as particularly if volatility returns like we think it will hi chris martenson c.e.o. and co-founder of peak prosperity dot com thank you for your time and your expertise as always we appreciate it. my pleasure bart. and before we go it would be sexist and incorrect to say that sipping whiskey is more of a male thing because many women like it or even love it well now it johnny walker the whisky company one of the world's most popular scotch brands is making their offering specifically to women this is their first ever female version of the iconic logo similar to the male counterpart jane walker as opposed to johnnie walker has the top at hatton is wearing writing gear the company says they are
