against this perfect industry that never does anything wrong obviously as we all know. one of the worse it's like if you are trolling or you're a medal or whatever do you think these sort of long tested smear smear tactics help suppress some of the pretty stunning revelations that you bring up in your documentary. i'm not sure i'm in terms of the types of actors themselves i think there's a long history let's say of just how propaganda has worked in general and we get into it to a degree in the documentary it's again it's a much bigger issue but we mentioned people like edward bernays the beginning the father of spin and you know basically the forefather of propaganda and public relations bases that public relations is a better way of saying propaganda right so how can we use media as a way you know as a way of using fourteen technology to sell people on things you know using sexuality using garrity and other you know things that are sort of part of our part

of our base desires to sell people and goods so we know psychological warfare because a lot of the guys that came out of the world war two o.s.'s the secret service and up becoming the heads of like the c.b.s. news and the time life and all these different media enterprises so many of those guys came out of the intelligence services and so they basically had been trained in psychological warfare and so now they're taking that training and that knowledge and they're applying it to what to journalism to media and to fill in one of the things i think is really interesting that we've seen over the last you know with the mitsu movement thing is we've watched how quickly even the infrastructure of hollywood media how quickly it will move to protect itself or change the narrative if they don't like it and i think it's really i'm looking forward to your documentary and for that it's seen how it connects to showing people how much it's still happening today and they're still like you said i mean i worked in hollywood marketing for ten years so believe me it's

a dark dark place but it was one of the things that really struck me most about your work in this movie in hollywood d.c. which will air over the next two days. coming up right in time for the kind of award. is those connections to hollywood or the connections to washington d.c. go a lot deeper you know most mainstream media local. talk about oh you know this person is a big donor to hillary clinton or like that kind of thing you know you know the stars are all limousine liberals but those connections you know when you start getting into the. contemporary when you start getting into the cia's and the military's control of what we see on the screen i thought that was some of the most really interesting parts of the documentary that you explored sean. yeah yeah in fact i mean look at this new movie red sparrow coming out which is going to be the big jennifer lawrence you know she's basically playing a russian agent who realizes the russians are bad it's yes to go against or against the new k.g.b. essentially but that's written that screenplay was written by

a former cia agent but they don't tell you that when they're making these movies it's just it's put out there as though this is just this is just hollywood but no there's a cia angle and we know homeland had the cia advisers but what's interesting that's not the author's work and you know we've interviewed offered before on watching the hawks and it's you know he's basically saying look we're talking about thousands of films that have had pentagon and cia and f.b.i. and other advisers coming in and we really and we see in the one story particular gary divorce a fascinating case that we get into in this documentary because gary was it was called the writer with no hands because he was a guy who basically had those cia contacts who was a mainstream established writer who was kind of started delve into the panama connections and the dirty dirty side of the overthrow of noriega and what happens then he disappears and his wife tells about how the cia basically was showing up combing through and looking at all those things and he you know he appears a year later is bodies found with it's a skeleton basically with no hands and it's

a very mysterious disappearance to this man who obviously was in on the inside track of certain awareness of what he's trying to basically teach us and that will be obviously never got made because he he died you know with hollywood's much publicized kind of resistance to battle trump or at least you know outwardly. in the movie stars and all the back and forth scandals of top mention of like me to. and the hyped up dramatics now surrounding the academy awards in the water one of the some of the underappreciated takeaways you'd think you'd like hawke watchers should keep in mind as they watch hollywood d.c.m. you know ahead in the kind of hollywood's big weekend like one of the little things that we always got to remember when we're getting fed all this. it's always about the money. yeah i mean i think at the end the day this documentary is not a be all end all but it's just meant to be a primer i think a prime educational tool that i hope people can share and watch understand that it's not always what's on the surface it's really what is

a subliminal messaging that's going into it are there studies that have been done we know by the tavistock institute in england or various agencies in the u.s. to study how shock and trauma affects the human psyche and how we're basically more susceptible the by by shock trauma and glamour and glitz and the sparkly lights the bright lights right that puts us into a state that they can more easily readily influence our hours are unconscious mind and i think that's the point is we have to be more away aware and conscious or watching these things to realize that it really is this been really is glitz and glamour that's really meant to take the money out of your pocket and mesmerize you as the old you know terminology you basically have the ties you into being seduced by these these events you know whether it's award shows or the you know the theatrical the films themselves and the propaganda that is really within the very nature of the language layered within the dialogue itself layered within the relationships the social interactions the things that are you know not just evident

if you look at it but sometimes we're just so engrossed with the actors and the performances and the story that we're not even realizing the subliminal messaging of what they're trying to tell us and it's interesting that you bring it up because i think that's one of the big issues that we're kind of having to look at now when you look at all of the shootings the you know where the school shootings and things like that as there was people talk about well should we ban these guns were things . you know never really i'm sure they'll get to always violent movies or violent video games and i don't think that you need to ban anything or anything like that but i think we do need to have that honest look and say you know how how does watching acts of violence paraded as glory desensitized to the fact that there are acts of terrible violence committed on people but just because you know this person is a villain or a group of people are considered a villain well then it's ok you know that kind of mentality that like rambo mentality and i think that i think that one of the great things about your documentary is you know you do kind of cover that you cover all these different places and i think it's about time it's good to put hollywood and d.c.

into the spotlight and look at those ties sean thank you so much today for for coming out and talking to us about this and looking forward to the hollywood b.c. . that's the thing. seed banks are not new since eight hundred ninety eight the royal botanical garden has been studying seed saving and scientists want to start rather than eat the seeds out a russian seed bank during a scene by the axis powers during second world war the big have the ability to regenerate entire species and their crucial to survival in the future when seventeen hundred seed banks around the world protect collections of of seeds for food crops but sadly many of them become vulnerable to budget cuts and weather but norway's small barred global seed vault sometimes called the doomsday vault in the arctic circle now holds one million fifty nine thousand six hundred forty six unique crop varieties from around the world and with the planet facing agricultural challenges like none we've ever seen before the norwegian government plans to spend

a whopping thirteen million dollars to upgrade the ball however the doomsday vault isn't done yet it turns out there are only using one of the three chambers meaning they're still groomed for four and a half million more c o two in norway and to seed banks around the war around the world we're rooting for you who to rooting for all. yeah. that's a fascinating story and i'm really you know these are those things the it's it's tragic that we have to do it but i'm really happy that we do it now you know now we know that everyone's going to be running to go away the moment the zombie apocalypse problems are over the next ice age whatever may be able to be gotten over there and out of the cats of the bag that sort of but you know i think it's good night and i'm happy to see those side just do it and those are the types of things not just with seeds but with everything that we can kind of store and say we need to start thinking about doing that for anybody yourself at home is keeping

things like that around not because the apocalypse is going to come but you know with weather and energy issues you know it's going to do something that is are so for you today everybody remember everyone in this world we're not told the love and tell you all love you the world with her and i'm watching those awesome great day and that's. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to express. some want to that's. actually going to be press that's what before three of the people. i'm interested in the ones. that.

fifty years ago breaking within two as a sleeping pill. does this. terrible but not on the road. across europe. legal battles demanding at least some compensation. in two ways first will the physical damage itself as well that the concert mind that the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been pulled the justice and that has been the. headlines on r.t. international a russia sponsored cease fire in a damascus suburb fails for a second day after terrorists shelled the evacuation route preventing hundreds of civilians from and leaving the water area. facebook admits it still found no

sign that of russia or interfered in the u.k. . despite every new to dig up proof. split over a local initiative to introduce sex education in kindergartens with brochures featuring transgender identity and same sex marriage issues. ten am on the first of march here in moscow thanks for joining us on r.t. international we have your latest world headlines. a third russia sponsored a humanitarian polls in syria's eastern ghouta is underway now during the previous two a safety corridor organized by russia came under heavy shelling from terrorists preventing civilians from leaving the district the failed truce efforts provoked heated debate

at a u.n. security council meeting. the fighting has not stopped opposition groups operating in eastern good to have made clear their commitment to the ceasefire on the very first day the militants use the declared pause to start an onslaught on the second day the same mortar shelling has continued including of the humanitarian corridor not a single person has left the danger zone. there were reports that the assad regime once again used chlorine gas as a weapon i'm tired of asking this but do you understand how pointless it would be for damascus to use chemical weapons both from a military and a political standpoint whereas for the militants it would make perfect sense i think you understand this perfectly well but you persistently look for a pretext for an armed intervention. russia does not

get you know laterally rewrite the terms of the resolution if russia is able to deliver a five oppose let it deliver a twenty four hour one you wouldn't need you but would you in our western partners are portraying the situation as if the resolution applies only to damascus and to russia as if it all depends almost exclusively on the will of our country may i ask you what you have done to implement the resolution if any of you lifted a finger if you use your influence on those who you consider the moderate opposition have you persuaded them to lay down their weapons and release hostages there been a large number of efforts to protect civilians in the area russia carries out a five hour humanitarian positive daily basis in the hopes of protecting civilians and allowing them to get out through the humanitarian corridor furthermore the u.n. security council has passed a resolution calling for a thirty day cease fire now a letter was sent to the u.n. security council by some of the opposition and rebel groups saying that they would

honor this u.n. resolution however at this point always three hundred civilians. have been prevented from leaving due to the tax they've experienced as they try to escape now the russian representative pointed out that these kind of humanitarian concerns and outrage were not being raised while the liberation of rocket was taking place because it's doable and so where were you when the us coalition were leaving rocco's where was you and cry it's been months since the terrorists were forced out of the city and it's still unfit for life that you would need. the security council because the circuit digital clicks producers to send the mission this is that in news that there was quite clearly a gap in the international media in the way the different situations have been portrayed when the syrian city of raka and the iraqi city of mosul were being liberated by the u.s. led coalition and a lot of bombing was taking place so we heard u.s. leaders saying making statements to the effect that civilian casualties are just

a fact of life civilian casualties or a fact of life so it was quite a heated exchange at the united nations but all parties agree that the life of civilians in eastern duty is key however there is quite a disagreement about who's responsible for the circumstances in the situation in the country in a neighboring iraq people are dealing with life liberation from terrorists iraqi refugees in the countries anbar province say they feel safer in cambs than in the home as they are being told in some cases that they have been told to forced to go back to that is according to a joint report by three humanitarian organizations now the report says eighty four percent of refugees feel much safer in the camps only one percent to show they still have a house to return for all half of those question to know their homes have been destroyed.
