that jab at the wall is the million dollar question that i think we've already traded off when it comes to our own personal computers and our cell phones i think very easily we said oh give me a pop up ads give me this i don't care i want all the convenience or i want to. just dump it all over and you know we don't get nearly as outraged as we should be when you have telecommunication companies sharing our information with governments and things of that they have right. so i think i hope it doesn't happen with cars but i have a feeling given the fact that as of right now i've seen the modern culture is kind of prefers convenience over their own personal identity and security and things like that that i don't know i think people just kind of sign it away well i think there's two sides to this and there's money to be made from both sides of the privacy file which is fairly so but you know from a capitalist sam point you have money that could be made not only in selling that information but in not selling that information so when you're just fighting i mean

one of the privacy things people at home to think about if you do want a more connected car you will need a data plan for that so stick with a cell phone company that protects your data that has good policies about privacy because of the it at the end of the day that not the card company is going to be the thing that keeps from government intrusion or something like that so you know your provider know who you're buying a car from and know their policies as well and we have to you know approach it that the you know the the cars are no longer going to be cars in the very near future i have driven. it's not a car it's a computer with wheels and i'm not saying that to be funny it really is a compelling you know it happens to have wheels and that's the future of cars and whether you're driving it or just simply riding in it which i think is where it's going to really go yeah you know we've got to be prepared for that. all right as we go to break called watchers don't forget to let us know what topics what you think of the topics we've covered. facebook and twitter see our poll shows that are too

dot com coming up sunstone joins us to preview with his look at the historical present day connections between the two in washington d.c. and the movie business with his new special hollywood sea state to watch. the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education as being supplanted by the right to access education loans higher education is becoming just another product that can be pulled and sold but it's not

just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you good. luck with these souls. they couldn't. want is the place of students in this business model for college i was born now in an extremely more high education the new global economic wall. if anyone thinks that for the sake of joining the european union we serbia would recognize kosovo under the conditions that they impose right now and not on the basis of dialogue compromise very wrong once a compromise but the solution proposed by cost of all genius is not the real solution. at the moment we've had a period of fake these places. engineered by all the central banks of the day don't

have the control that they think that they have and that once you start to see this being picked up in markets like the gold market and others you know you've got to start to see it feed on itself in a big one. hollywood's award season is upon us and all eyes will be on the academy awards kodak theater this weekend without so much as a second thought americans of all ages eagerly digest the latest blockbusters whether at home or on the big screen and families and college students alike engage in the regular netflix binge of the latest seasons of homeland and other t.v. drama fodder the addicting pursuit of riveting fantasy worlds more dramatic and engaging than our own has long been the draw of television and film but who is funding and directing this escapism is a question we have largely allowed to go unanswered that is until now there are very own sean stone tackling the issue.

so there is an intensification of arse to roll down the walk of fame later this week we were joined earlier by sean stone and fell to give us a preview of this much watch must watch exposé. so sean it appears that the back room power brokers on capitol hill with their hollywood allies cronies were we'd like to call may have cause for a little concern this year as the academy awards are just a few days away i got to ask you sean stone what do you have in store what do you have in the works to come out right in time for the academy awards as we go. really it's a new special documentary special called hollywood d.c. because it's not a washington d.c. it's hollywood d.c. and that means that we're looking into the history not all of it but you know

a good deal of history relating to the relationship between hollywood and the washington power brokers and what a close back really to the beginning of birth of the war bonds you know using hollywood celebrities to sell war bonds for the first world war it's like the world war all the way through the blacklist as we know the blacklisting of hollywood screenwriters and then up to the present day two movies like american sniper lone survivor zero dark thirty and just trying to coalesce and understand what is this relationship basically between media film and. politics what's really interesting and we talk about it here on other levels is that all too often our mainstream media our you know all of this likes to smear anyone who dares connect publicly proven daughter to be in conspiracy theorists we've seen this with the me too movement before that in sexual harassment in child sex abuse and hollywood if you dare say anything it's own dare you like pushback 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 basis at 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 self 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. one of the things that really struck me most about your work in this hollywood do you see 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 in 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 base he was showing up combing through and looking at all those things and he you know he appears

a year later as bodies found which is 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 as top mention of like me to. and the hyped up dramatics now surrounding the academy awards and all the water one of the some of the underappreciated takeaways you think you'd like hawk 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 surf it's really what is the 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 buy by shock trauma and glamour and glitz and the sparkling lights the bright lights right that puts us into a state that they can more easily readily influence our ours are unconscious mind and i think that's the point is we have to be more away aware and conscious who are watching these things to realize that it really is it's 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 up because i think that 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 is there was people talk about well should we ban these guns were things. you know negatively 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 desensitize us 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 who 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 one of the great things about your documentary is you know you do kind of cover that you cover all these different bases 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 at a russian seed bank during a scene by the axis powers during second world war see bags 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 hold 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 room for four and a half million more c o. two in norway and to see. banks around the war around the world were rooting for you rooting rooting for all to you but. 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 wanting to go away that the moment the zombie apocalypse problems are over the next ice age were maybe you want to be going over there and out of the cat's out of the bag that's sort of but you know i think it's good 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 good idea. that is our show for you today everybody remember everyone in this world we're not told the love of the wall love you i have a robot and i've thought of all the fun watching those who lost a great. deal on the titanic dnieper bottle mosaddeq china six sawyer. an estimated eighty five percent under-age refugees are now living in greece. you know still more to go. to your home and there you go food shopping and. many sell

their bodies just to make ends meet so. you know that on the second oh yes you know all the sins in there that. says you know nothing's going to . turn to dealing drugs to make a living. that's just a little general. love runs in the. game and then. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be. the two going to be pressed for survival before three in the morning can't be good for. i'm interested always in the waters about our. question.

of the fight 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 kill the narrowness and spending surge of the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great so well paul chimes with. and thinks it's going to. fifty years ago pregnant women to a concert go on as a sleeping pill and just this is what i mean because i just doesn't want to share this thought the side effects were terrible but not on known as shawn induction for

boardwalk here nor the warm. across europe victims are starting legal battles demanding at least some compensation in two ways first will the physical damage itself as well there's a constant reminder that the people who actually perpetrated this crime has never been the justice and there's been a couple of. different yeah yeah yeah that was the one of the first. that it. was.

was it was. putin uses his state of the nation address to unveil russia's new strategic asl including a new click capable missile that said to be able to add smart all existing defense systems also to come four civilians are killed by militants in the syrian descriptivist and that is a third humanitarian forces damaged by russia collapses it comes as the un security council debates possible solutions to the crisis and south africa's parliament passes a motion that could see all white farmers across the country stripped of their land without compensation we hear different depend differing opinions on a controversial new.

welcome it's just gone for the afternoon here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now we're start with president vladimir putin and his delivery of his annual state of the nation address to the russian parliament sharing his vision of the country's future during the speech he announced the development of new strategic weapons which he claimed could maneuver all existing missile defenses artie's murdered as more details well this was flooded near putin's fourteenth address and the first step out of it was largely dedicated to domestic issues it was incredibly ambitious the things he called for in the things he said russia must do now he said it needs improvements across the board massive new funding expansion in infrastructure and you also address outside concert security concerns namely the united states and nato which had been expanding building up. the stablish ng and

setting up their own missile defense complexes surrounding russia basically vladimir putin said but no longer. russia is a major nuclear power but basically nobody wanted to talk to us nobody listened to us. so listen to us now you things have changed since two thousand and four which is when vladimir putin was referring to in the speech led to me a putin unveiled a whole range of new strategic weapons to get more advanced with greater range and more powerful than ever before and first and foremost among them perhaps is a new nuclear powered nuclear capable cruise missile that has unlimited range and that it can reach anywhere in the world as well as being very hard to track or shoot down due to an unpredictable flight path and its new flight

was the. are all. additionally vladimir putin presented the new super heavy intercontinental ballistic missile as well as an advanced underwater drone capable of delivering nuclear weapons at speeds much greater than before new advances in laser technology as well what unites all these new weapons is that it is incredibly difficult to track or intercept them or to nullify their effect but the point of all of these new weapons is not to scare anyone it isn't coerce anyone to force russia's will in any other country and certainly not to invade anyone else it is to protect and defend russia's deterrent and its sovereignty and us to show why in the emotion i see russia's growing military might is not meant to threaten anybody we have no

plans and have never had plans to use this potential to achieve offensive all aggressive ends russia's enhanced military power is simply a guarantee for peace on our planet for preserves the strategic balance of forces in the world here in russia vladimir putin speech was greeted by. thundering applause but how his message will be received a broad in washington for example will have to wait and see where a gas if there will be with regard to the economy we spoke to the russian minister of economic development and the minister of finance right after the president's address and they told us what they think of the gold platinum a putin has set for the. signature of all these restrictions stimulated russia to increase production and we've been drug growth not just in sectors such as agriculture and every day goods we see the reorientation of our economy in science towards what we previously received while inputs we're developing our own high tech

industries. creature prettier the key priority is taking a konami growth rate above the global average the goal set before the government of vital and will require more investment six key initiatives highlighted by the president obama development increased life expectancy improved business climate developing human capital as its workforce productivity and reducing poverty have already been making progress we'll have a year now we're going to take them to the next level as. well to discuss this further when i joined live by richard tac where he's professor of russian and european politics kenton is with this good afternoon to you richard thanks for coming on we know that president putin talked about the economy but also those new new defense systems in the military to you and i suspect i know the latter is attracting all the headlines at the moment so let's start with that what was your take on what he said. it was quite an astonishing assertion all for

russia's response if you like to the last documents which have come out from the united states i'm thinking about the national security don't here in the midst of the nuclear posture review and the defense doctrine all of these listed yorkshire as well as china but above all direction as an adverse a great not yet an enemy but in a diverse way so in a sense this half an hour if not more of this two hour speech was devoted to an astonishing list of technological achievements in the strategic missile nucleus fair and these outlined some extraordinary things some of the elements including the long distance torpedo i think we can call it high speed long distance it's been rumored but the fact that bush didn't actually talked about it in this way is

a quite a clear sign that russia will respond in what is i mean in a sense which is already a continuing arms various but an arms race that hopefully russia will limit and won't destroy its economy in trying to achieve its defensive goal he's yeah i mean would you expect now this arms race to be ramped up by what was said this afternoon i mean how would you expect western leaders to react. yes i'm sure that's what's going to happen i think that we are in a deep in paris or confrontation and put in speech was in keeping with what's going on which is an escalating cold and indeed strategic posture of continuing if you like intensification of what some people call a new cold war so we are at the moment just at the coldest it's been even at the

height possibly of the cold war itself so this speech was a vigorous to long u.s. funds but the even though towards the end of the speech putin said that we are not good for confrontation let alone aggression but that he was lobbing the ball back into the western court to say look you have not listened to us listen this is what we're doing we're not giving in but i'm absolutely sure that the west western powers above all the united states will not to respond to that slightly softer tone which came at the end instead of which they were despond with hard power to putin's assertion of hard power so we're locked in an escalating confrontation and i really don't see any way out of it at this time one russian official we spoke to richard just after the the the address that was given by that

emir peyton he said look we do expect an hysterical reaction from the western media and also perhaps from western leaders but afterwards we hope there could be some deep thought on this and both sides could perhaps sit down and talk on a new footing do you think that's likely to happen. in a sense this was the speech was the analog of nuclear power where you sometimes escalate to deescalate so what put it has done to a degree is escalated toluca level hoping to shock the west from his perspective into negotiations into a story and dialogue i have a feeling i mean it's an interesting tactic it's a desperate one i mean not just clearly in objective terms it's trying desperately to say look we've mentioned the long you know them but the speech back in munich in two thousand and seven just listen to us to our security concerns that speech then

didn't have the required effect or the hopeful effect i doubt if it will now whether it's hysterical or not i'm not sure i think that both sides are locked into this escalating conflict. stage would also not taking the show office to egypt. so i think it behoves both sides to think of measures in which instead of escalating to deescalate just deescalate. richard night until two we have to leave it there that was everett is aqua professor of russian and european politics at the university of kent thank you thank you. for civilians have been killed by militants in ceres east and her while the third moscow brokered humanitarian pause was in place russia's reconciliation center said the deaths came during demonstrations in the district.
