food and health supplies medicine as many as forty six trucks with enough food for twenty seven thousand people this is by the way the first time this has happened since the u.n. has called for a month long truce in syria the aid it self was delivered during a ceasefire a daily unilateral ceasefire established by the syrian government and russia its purpose was to provide a safe window every day for civilians to flee guta via special crossings but it seems is the mist rebels had different ideas they're doing what they did in aleppo they aren't allowing any civilians out at all and the shelling those crossings therefore the syrian government has allowed this aid to go in but the u.n. says it didn't get to take everything it wanted certain items like field first aid kits the sort that could be used by militants would take it off the convoy anything

of military value jewel use is being blocked nevertheless this is big it is a significant development at least those civilians trapped in east ghouta will now have food if the rebels don't do again what they did in aleppo and hold it all in their warehouses fighting also hasn't debated russian monitors in damascus say that islam is in east ghouta have not stopped shelling the capital the syrian government in turn has kept up its own offensive on the enclave forty percent of it has now been retaken by government forces in an operation that has gone on for the last several weeks. representatives of the u.n. and the red cross for their views on russia's efforts to help the civilians in eastern good. we were not part of the discussions around the humanitarian corridors

however any any initiative. the suffering of people we of course welcome we our primary goal is to that there is a cessation of hostilities that there is a humanitarian cause that is long enough for us to be able to deliver this been on a regular basis what we called for and what we continue to call for thirty days of at least thirty days cessation of hostilities so that we can deliver assistance to people in need in the but also when other procedures are hard to reach areas in syria what's what's important is that most old parties on the ground warring parties and you soon will talk to respect and protect civilians whether there are humanitarian quota doors or not so civilians must not be must not be targeted and should be allowed to flee whether through humanitarian coated doors or not if they wish and if they wish to remain inside their homes and if they are not to be so i

guess it is clear according to the international humanitarian law. meanwhile the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov says the syrian government has the legal right to continue its offensive against terrorists in eastern good. under the u.n. cease fire resolution it is entirely legitimate continued the fight against terrorists we have mounting evidence that western powers including the united states are trying to shield the al nusra front which keeps changing its name but not assessments and seeking to use it as a back up plan to overthrow the government of syria. disneyland considered a once in a lifetime experience of adventure wonder and joy but is there a flip side to the magic kingdom run thirty thousand people work at the disneyland resort in california to make the dream a reality and according to a recent economic survey titled working for the mouse seventy three percent of employees find it tough to make ends meet some even struggle to keep

a roof over their heads artie talked to one employee. the housekeeper we are unchurched to clean or to. make. clean the toilets clean the showers. and rarely us a single mother is very hard for example of this squeeze last i need to chose between pay our rent oh give me percent of my kit unfortunately i need to rove over me so i chose to play that when i was very hard. to say i'm sorry i don't have enough. i tell you what christmas is just another work day and any jackanapes. should be boiled in a joint putting well i just go to the supermarket and i just chip us food which is a man's knowledge to help pay for some time for all these i need to war over time.

song times one or two days on a working fourteen hour or so they. are disneyland has dismissed the report saying that they believe it to be an inaccurate and unscientific survey that is politically motivated but record chivers again so there are many people who are in the same position as yours that is so love all of us are the same situation their family live their living which we knew more. than four of all insurance what i was ready and when the response. when you the quality or the need to feel borrowed this much you.

two people are in critical condition after being exposed to an unknown substance in the u.k. one of them believed to be a former russian intelligence officer was convicted of spying for britain more than a decade ago so he's in london with the latest. well so far what we know is what the police have told us the sensually from official sources which is that a man and a lady were taken ill at a shopping center in in wiltshire which is about one hundred miles or so away from the capital london and they were found sitting on a bench kind of slumped over and it's thought that they had been exposed to some type of known substance now the gentleman hasn't been named but according to the b.b.c. and sky they say that their sources report that the gentleman is guy scriptural who is a sixty six year old man he was a former colonel in the russian military who was convicted for handing over information about russian spies to my six the british foreign intelligence agency

and for that he received a thirteen year prison sentence but he was released in two thousand and ten as part of a prisoner swap and that was under the former russian president dmitri medvedev when he was president and so he's been living in the united kingdom since then and it's thought that he's the man who has been found on this on this bench now it's also important to add that the police also haven't named or said what this substance could potentially be but that hasn't stopped of course the media from drawing potential power levels with the case of the former russian spy alexander litvinenko who was poisoned in two thousand and six if you recall back to two thousand and six that was when a man named. alexander litvinenko was poisoned and died a slow horrible death immediately people's minds go back to alexander litvinenko in

polonium two ten in everything so while the media here are perhaps jumping to conclusions the police are being very very careful and saying that information at this point anyway is still very scant. we discussed the story with political analyst and author martin mccauley. immediately when you find the russian. f.s.b. curdle. to take him to hospital they immediately think of i was on the litvinenko and his association in two thousand and six mongolia or prove or. book in a faster way from the like that it would get a mention of footnote on page six of the newspaper and then you pass it on but once you put the word russian in front of somebody who will take it all spittle you can spin you can spin the story if you like because the public love a spy scandal in the cause it's it's for the for the media sources in the

u.k. mergence the services have been quoted as saying the former spy may have suffered a prescription drug overdose his symptoms apparently pointed to the use of a powerful painkiller called fentanyl it is a hundred times stronger than the heroin and has a similar influence on the body overdoses caused at least sixty deaths in the u.k. in two thousand and seventeen former m i five officer any machine and gave us her views on the case. this might just be some sort of drug instant there have been numerous stories over the last couple of years in the u.k. of the spread of. synthetic kind of annoyed called spice which seems to create the same sort of symptoms that were reported in this case people who. dislike hated because they've been involved in a spy swap for example their lives are forever changed there's a long history of people in that situation self medicating with substances this happened they were taken to hospital they were identified their names were fed into the system and as soon as there their names are fed into the system there's some

alert around the fact that this guy had indeed been involved in the spy swap in twenty ten so suddenly became much more much more newsworthy i think this is where the story is built from. florida senate has voted in favor of school safety bill imposing restrictions on rifle sales that follows nationwide rallies for tougher gun laws in the wake of the pardon shooting school shooting of u.s. gun lobby is fighting back here's the latest campaign video from the national rifle association. we've had enough of the mines we are done with your agenda to undermine voters' the will and individual liberty in america so to every line member of the media to every hollywood phony as your time is running out the clock starts now. is very scary commercial you know with a black background and saying your time is up and when you say that and you're the

gun organisation it sounds like there's an execution coming soon designed to be very intimidating and i see it as a side of desperation the n.r.a. has become more and more of a far right group being that is all about that second amendment being interpreted in a certain way the only correct non-e. legal not unconstitutional way to take away americans gun rights is by repeal no other law is legitimate this is one of the reasons americans are so on about this because they're trying to pass laws that clearly infringe on the second amendment which says shall not be infringed it's not complicated court language it's straight up and simple to understand majority is starting to see from these endless shootings of kids in schools people are losing patience with the insistence on including semiautomatic weapons in the second amendment right to bear arms and mass shootings are not increasing in fact gun crime has decreased significantly over the

past couple of decades of what's happening as the perception of the shootings is increasing because the media has an axe to grind and is playing to so employ it's twenty four seven and talking about it nonstop i think there's a there's definitely a rural versus urban division urban people are ready to give up guns rural people are less ready to give up guns or gun or not give up guns but except registration of guns you have to go far west to california and far east to the east coast in order to find those urban centers where they're actively again. gun rights so it isn't city versus country it's political left versus political right i think we're seeing a shift to more majority. a kind of a commonsense attitude towards registering guns and towards the automatic weapons this high school kid is a phenomenon that i don't think is going to go away much of the protests are

organized by left wing political organizations who do nothing but try to get their agenda passed and try to reach their goals it isn't what it looks like those kids would not be out there on television or making appearances in town squares in places like washington d.c. the wasn't for a left wing organization and a large amounts of money following them around. what sounds like a plot straight out of a hollywood movie only it happened in a russian village mix up at a maternity ward forty years ago left two mothers raising each other's children. i have now confirmed the suspicions that the families had been harboring for decades and as the story. it's a tell of heartache confusion and attempted met and has taken two women almost forty years to find out they were raised by the wrong families in a village hospital near the oval mountains four women gave birth on the same day in march nine hundred seventy eight but who knew about this left with the wrong babies

this is their only could have blue eyes or a suspicions with a number logical father he thought his wife had cheated an assumption which had terrifying consequences of course he didn't love her that much one day i came back from work in my mother told me she saw him covering veronica's face with a pillow i was ironing when i next saw him i threw a hot iron at him i said if you touch the child again i don't know what i'll do to you eventually he abandons the family meanwhile growing up nearby was tania again raised by a couple believing had to be their right but there was no family resemblance the team of this met to discuss their doubts it was to have a birth certificate how can i give up my baby and that happen and they will move suspicions when for on it became the age of take she was diagnosed with an inherited disease a condition which no one in the family has that is later went for and because the

mother went back to the hospital fraunces old medical records had been destroyed and then to tend towards itself no longer existed forty years on and the families finally took d.n.a. tests. i always thought i looked like grandma when i found out i was shocked i thought they wouldn't love me anymore now that they found their real daughter. the veronica has always asked that question mom why do i not look like you why do i have a different character she is so calm and even tempered her face is different from ours i used to joke you must have been switched at birth. it's been a long painful path for both families but they say they have never gretz you know my mother is the one who brought you up not the one who gave birth and that would just. because when you were a huge reason why you. were going to. overspeed though is it. you think. that the. issue of

bush. getting it then your thought that veronica is still haunted by the suffering she saw when you have been there i feel sorry for my mom because i have seen her struggling for all her life not everyone can deal with it not everyone can be like her for the sake of her children she has forgotten about everything she would go to the end of the world only for her children to be safe and sound but i would go to court for moral compass ation at least because we're so we should birth because i feel myself guilty for her in life and that my father left her. the families have now come to terms with what happens and even say they've gained more than they've lost tanya yuliya my grandchildren we're all a big family now we're all relatives you can't turn back time that. yemen is in the grip of a full scale humanitarian disaster after three years of civil war and a saudi air strikes at least ten thousand civilians have been killed in the

conflict according to the u.n. and one artist is trying to ensure that the victims are not forgotten by painting murals in their memory around the capital. better than i was the feeling of safety of peace destruction is everywhere blood the killings crime all across yemen a lot of crime. which are just alike is a painting dedicated to victims especially children. what

about them out of god so sometimes it's a challenge to find the wall some people don't want my paintings on their houses or official buildings but when i receive people support it encourages me a lot. all right that does it for me this hour i'll be back with headlines in about twenty two minutes stay with us. what politicians to do something to. put themselves on the lawn and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want

to be pressed. into the right to be press this is what the before last three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the water as in the. first sip. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. and to be clear that's right here we're pretty far from the white house maybe too close i'm barred shelton coming up scientific american has a cover story about the future of money and we are fortunate to have an author with us alexander lipton from the massachusetts institute of technology joins us to talk about crypto mining and the future of money and actually banks looks at the global

market reaction to president strong statements about it posing steel and aluminum import tariffs which seem to be the starting sellable as of a global trade war and melissa are no of the stocks who should sit down with us to talk markets and stocks plus before we go as a former steel worker myself who would have thought i have a few thoughts about what's been going on all of this by the way coming up soon but first really get some have one. italian voters gave a large majority to populist outsiders and the right wing in sunday's parliamentary elections the five star movement won thirty two percent of the vote the largest vote for the a single party and the northern far right league one thousand percent outpolling their center right coalition partners for a talia led by former prime minister silvio bristlecone by six points the winning

parties have a fairly anti immigrant stance and some say they are european union hostile which raises concerns about the future as the e.u. deals with things like the united kingdom leaving the e.u. . and related election news germany's social demick. pratt's the s.p.d. have voted to approve a coalition with conservative chancellor angela merkel of the christian democrats the vote among s.p.d. members was two to one in favor with a very high turnout the s.p.d. decision to enter another call issued however hands the position of official opposition to the to the neo-fascist alternative for germany as in italy the dynamic weakened the establishment parties who are attempting to hold off right wing outsiders who seem to be taking some hold. and computer hacks of crypto currency exchanges already this year have seen investors losing more money since

the big time back in two thousand and fourteen when the largest exchange mt gox in japan saw roughly four hundred seventy five million dollars drain from accounts before they filed for bankruptcy so far this year investors have lost more than seven hundred million dollars from two exchanges bit grayle based in florence italy and coin check based in japan the losses exemplify that investors can lose all of their invested money in exchanges without appropriate security the two hacks represent a continuing obstacle to gaining more mainstream acceptance of digital currencies. and now in that same regard we move on to the crypto as we've all heard that actual mining of bitcoin another crypto currencies takes a lot of energy but why and how much energy does it take as we've discussed

covering money systems in the past that's also a big question what does the future of money look like well today we're very fortunate to have someone who has worked on these important questions and written about them in a recent scientific american alexander lipton alexander welcome let's start with the energy used to confirm crypto transactions on the block chain the used to be decentralized they took place all over the world but that's not happening as much right now when we see these bit coin and other cryptocurrency mining operations explain what that's all about. ok hello thank you very much for inviting me for this interesting program and indeed we have observed that. you know with the growing popularity of beat coin tearoom and other crypto currencies the requisite. mining expenditures grew from nomic clearly and in many instances you know people some of the people some of the observers think

that the mining will be to coin for example consumes as much energy as the republic of ireland or the kingdom of denmark which obviously is very disconcerting given that the. transaction volume for bit coin and other cryptic currencies in spite of the very high price is actually quite small in fact to be to coin from no more than seven transactions per second in the reality of probably close to five and maybe. maybe ten to fifteen that sort of thing and the idea is that in the decentralized system somebody needs to maintain its integrity by showing interest in maintaining this integrity by simply burdening electricity and purchasing specialized equipment in actual fact between mining does not require any special

knowledge of mathematics or anything like that it's just a matter of purchasing specialized computers and burning elec tricity and this is one way or maintaining integrity but it's extremely inefficient by design and hans the idea is there too you can are have decentralized system but the. integrity is maintained through the proof or work as you said correct. the situation is that as any other industry the mining industry in between if you call it this way actually observed the extreme concentration of miners so until recently the main mining activity were performed in china and now when the chinese government took a negative stance toward this activity is the miners kind of spread around the world looking for the next home you know the province of quebec and canada is often

did as a possible home for crypt a mining activity as well as iceland but none of those countries are particularly keen on actually welcoming this miners because they don't truly add anything to their call in the first set this is about me start interrupt let me ask you this who are these folks that are you know going ahead and setting up these centralized mining operations are they companies that have as their sole mission to be crypto mining entities in and what size are they what i mean are they taking up you know big large auditoriums are they in warehouses how many people are they employing. ok this is these are all a very interesting question they employ very few people because as i said the actual industry is extremely efficient in this regard so basically you should think

about food ball fields cover deal with this application specific. computers and then very few people actually maintaining the integrity of the every single computer is very cheap and is designed for of one special purpose or for example it was b. to corn in actually calculating hush functions and things of that nature and you know but the but the actual the amount of equipment is mind boggling so think of football fields fifield with this rigs but there are a number of people who are very is it are they who is that is owns these things or these digital enthusiasm to have the idea that they should mine because it really is and will get into this in a minute so i want to personally alexander who the folks are but it really does get away from the original idea of the centroids nodes or confirming the chain

operations but who is it first of all that's doing a well either absolutely right this is a this is a strong deviation from the original ethos of the community right so people who do this are you know industrial conglomerates in that sense because the expenditure on equipment alone rather than the hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars and then basically what else is happening their individual miners even the very big ones tend to assume accumulate into large pools so basically what we're observing right now that maybe five or six a large as poor as the provide may be fifty. plus percent of the entire haas sing. sing ability of the system of the whole so the idea is that you as an individual can in any between all is a complete fall

a see this is not possible it's pretty much the same as saying that you can build an airplane so maybe you can but you know i would not fly this airplane if you are without them so let me ask you so we agree obviously with that this is different than originally intended that it wasn't decentralized so if if there is what how we go forward is that these operations these mining operations are all in one poised doesn't that lend itself to stuff i used to worry about as a regulator that somebody could perhaps manipulate the markets that if they control all of the conference why couldn't they go ahead and roil markets around or have they been doing that what are your thoughts alexander these are very relevant questions and the fact it is entirely possible that markets can be manipulated and subverted events the only saving grace

here is that even if you were to do this as a minor you are unable to actually access other people's beat coins or tears but what you can potentially do is to have a double spend so in other words those send the coins to you and then send the same beat coins to me and you know that would be a potential outcomes but let me let me ask you i mean that. to me that is a you are on to such a huge thing and those of our viewers who have not read the scientific american article courage to do so it's fascinating and alexander we'd love to have you back when we have some more time to talk. but how do we combat some of these things going forward because you are really one of the thought leaders in the world on this and we thank you so much for being with us alexander lipton the c.e.o. of stronghold bank labs and the connection science fellow at the massachusetts

institute of technology thanks for your important work alexander and thanks for helping us to better understand these complex issues thank you very much it was a pleasure. and time now for a brief pause but stick with us because when we get back ashley banks looks at the global market reaction to steal an aluminum tariffs and melissa are mo and i sit down to talk about markets and stocks and then you'll get my old steelworkers perspective as we go to break here are the numbers at the closing bell green arrows for start off the books. tells the u.s. to come back to earth challenging washington's polar ambitions also calls to end the illegal war against yemen and one army is a recipe for disaster as well as the return to training wars.

the new global economic war is unfolding in the realm of education the right to education being supplanted by the right to. education its high education is becoming just another fortune sold and it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business where you could. want is the place of students in this business model for college. high education the new global economic wall.

twenty thousand west virginia teachers are on strike for an eighth day last week rank and file teachers rejected an initial agreement that union leaders had reached with the governor because a proposed five percent raise would not have covered future increases in health care costs over the weekend state legislators blocked it funding the five percent raise increases in health care costs could be roughly three hundred dollars per month while the suggested raise could amount to roughly seven hundred dollars per year west virginia writes forty eight among the states for teacher pay and other labor news fourteen hundred workers in west virginia and virginia represented by the communication workers of america has all has awful gone on strike and meanwhile

forty one thousand teachers an oklahoma another state hostile to unions approved plans for a statewide walkout that could happen as early as april second. we've been tracking the story of increasing consumer debt recently and now it seems to be impacting one more stakeholder small banks federal reserve data shows that eighty percent of credit card balances that are considered to be in default after persistent failure to pay the charge off rate increase to seven point two percent in the fourth quarter of twenty seventeen a year earlier that rate was four point five percent however the charge off rate for smaller banks those with assets of less than ten billion bucks in the fourth quarter was nearly seven point two percent more than double the three point five percent rate among bigger banks this is a better outcome for these smaller banks after they successfully fought in recent years to grab a bigger share of this category of debt. president trump's announcement related to stiff tariffs on imported steel and aluminum may have

a negative economic consequence for u.s. companies and consumers many also worry about the impending trade war here on markets and stocks r t correspondent ashley banks that's right barnow interim proposes a ten percent tax on all aluminum and pork to the thirty five percent tariff on steel if he follows through many consumers could see prices go up on everything from cars to vere experts warn these tariffs could lead to trade wars and on friday president trump tweeted trade wars are good and easy when many economists disagree with the president saying trade wars will hurt economic expansion and then poignant and the u.s. experts say any uncertainty can lead to companies curtailing investments or place a hold on hiring peter petrie and economists and trade expert says quote and history is that by steel and aluminum not to mention agricultural exports employ many times more people than the ndaa story is that the president wants to protect

but that's not the worst part key allies of the u.s. the european union and canada have already pledged to retaliate if try. follows through experts believe they would use tools to strike search in industries or take their concerns to the world trade organization and or national trade experts say they expect trump's terrorist decision will make it easier for other countries to pursue tests for tat terrorists the european union has already said it will have back with tariffs on american made motorcycles bourbon engine i'm chines right after trump made his announcement on opposing terrorists u.s. stocks fell sharply the dow as and p. five hundred and the nasdaq were down more than one percent drums announcement also rock stocks around the globe nikkei in h.s. i saw a sharp decline well shanghai dax cac in the financial times stock exchange solid gains when it comes to steel and aluminum stuff g.m.

ford boeing coca-cola molson coors and a couple of others all as sharp decline and stocks well a case still holding u.s. steel still dynamics and a few others so significant gains overall the us market drop ten experts say it trumps tariffs are imposed they could increase not only important steel prices but also domestic fuel prices which will place american companies at a competitive disadvantage with their non-u.s. competitors from says nafta which is now under negotiation is a bad deal for the u.s. the nation's companies and shops and the tweet from stated he may let the new steel an aluminum terribly put in place as nafta is a renegotiated to terms more favorable to the us bart thank you actually.

and today we spend some time talking about markets that we always talk about but it's particularly important given the february we had and we talk about smoot some specific stock as a result of some of the actions regarding the florida school shooting that killed seventeen people and what some companies that are publicly traded how their stock is being impacted and to do that we're joined by melissa arm of the stocks melissa thank you for being here it's a pleasure to be with you live so it's quite a february wasn't it yeah it was a little unexpected because we started about two thousand eight hundred so strong we carry through all two thousand and seventeen after the election we are bullish we are pirates running out two thousand and eighteen we made record highs day after day it seemed like in the february we dropped off although i would tell you the market is still in a strong strong uptrend despite the drop off in february i don't think there's any reason to really panic when you know i we saw last week with the steel import

quotas where the markets took a big big tumble on thursday and we've seen some other volatile stuff in the markets happening but any piece of economic information that comes out any data points and i know you're particularly concerned about sort of the debt numbers that have been out there lately they can have an impact on markets but you're also concerned about debt in general having a longer term impact on the economy well i think so and that's one of the reasons why the market fell because the fed guy was talking the fed chairman every time he talks or any time any number comes out it could possibly spook the market it may be something that happens temporary or it may have a longer term effect on the market for a couple weeks out we don't know what might that you know. it's almost like when we were on a high like a money high from the markets that everybody was really jittery when it is the. you know ones of all of philippi going to impact markets and it really didn't take much it was those of january job numbers and maybe the increase in the wage growth and

i'm not sure that was it or not but it happened to be the day after that for the job reporting friday but to continue on about debt and your concern about the economy well the thing is that people are one of the reasons i think the market fell off and said we worry is because people are concerned that they're going to raise interest rates as here with a switch they talked about doing they're going to they're going to raise interest rates later as well are they going to raise. your suit but are they going to raise and three times four times nobody knows what she do you know that they're going to raise them so my best advice to people is if you're applying for a mortgage and you can lock in your interest rate lock it down if you have a home equity line of credit that's you know not have a secured rate if it's a variable rate try to see if you can do a home equity loan to lock it down lock in your interest rate but the problem i think for people is going to be the credit cards because most all credit cards are affected because interest when interest rates rise a quarter point and then all of a sudden it's four four it rises and it could be one point and

a lot of people have credit card debt in fact last year there was a report the credit card debt is an all time high it's close to one trillion which is an astronomical number so with people carrying debt like that and it's a variable rate their payments are going to go up and even though we have the tax savings and that's terrific and even though more people are employed and that's terrific too if people see their monthly payments going up up up that that may concern people and obviously don't want people to fall on their own secured debt you know we reported i think last thursday about the. largest but i don't want to say the wrong thing but i think it was the largest default rates on mortgages for homeowners maybe six seven years and so you're absolutely right it's good. advice for our viewers you know if there is a way to lock in your rates whether or not it's a refund or the variable rate as you say probably

a good thing for people to consider given their own personal financial situation everything you always want to provide these copyrights but melissa let's talk a little bit about some of these companies and the stocks related to them a dick's sporting goods and wal-mart which are not going to sell a certain firearms are certainly not going to sell to anybody under the age of twenty one there's some of the airlines united delta delta is in a world of conflict because they've got some republican folks who are running for office down in georgia wanting to say they're not going to provide favorable tax treatment to delta in the georgia legislature there's united i said united but there's also the car companies the rental car companies how are these stocks being impacted it's probably too early to say what your thoughts well i mean overall i would say the airlines the general sector the airline sector is pretty strong i don't really see that much of a reaction after the stuff that happened with the delta news but i would try i find

it interesting that that would they that would even take the position as far as the land up because what that what the airline because i don't know why the n.r.a. was getting discounts anyway so it really that was very preferential for them to get those discounts in fairness to to some of these companies what they said was we want to be neutral but it looked like they were being sort of prejudice against the n.r.a. when it when actually what they said was no we just don't want to have a dog in this fight now some of them like dicks and wal-mart they really felt sort of i think a moral responsibility from their perspective i think is good because if you look at their target audience i think that was that was the right thing to do but honestly the stocks didn't rally when they came out with the news which you think well that's positive news the stocks dropped so. i mean honestly everybody what i do and one of wal-mart trying to they actually they don't have that good of earnings recently so they just reported and they dropped ever since those earnings

like a brick you know so i mean the stock overall still very very strong but wal-mart hasn't had a good month you talk about the market wal-mart has really had a terrible month and even when they came out with that news they didn't have a good reaction so i think it's very political for these companies to be getting involved remember they everyone is their customer so when you take a side you're going to alienate either half your customer base forty percent of your customer customer base depending on where you're located sixty percent your customer base like like in the atlanta so these companies are taking a risk by being political making decisions and they're out there to sell their products are providing a service and they're out there to make money and when they make political stances like this it takes a risk for their profit margin and i'm not so sure that's a great idea for them to do but some are doing it well there are many of us who are very appreciative of you taking positions and sharing them with our viewers it's great to have you good to be with you and your it's a very listen. thank you. and

before we go a few comments on presidents trump steel and aluminum tariffs i was a steel worker and it was hard dirty work but it paid well those jobs could support a family but we lost our edge and asia primarily picked up the slack with cheaper labor and better technology so here we are in the president wants to make good on his many year montra to bring back industry good for him it's always good to see politicians walking the walk as they say but and yes there is a but he hasn't really hit the nail quite on the head other than in his words the announcement really raises more questions than answers will there be exemptions for some steel importers like canada for example our neighbor an ally will certain companies be allowed to seek exemptions what might occur if as we've seen in the words around the world nations are seeking to retaliate on our goods the e.u. is threatening as ashley talked about earlier tariffs on bourbon much of it produced in senate majority leader mitch mcconnell's home state of kentucky and on

motorcycles like the harley davidsons built in house speaker paul ryan's state of wisconsin plus there's been recent progress in opening up asian markets to u.s. agricultural goods one of two major u.s. export sectors by the way the surprise of the initial announcement sent markets really are reeling rally they were just going to own if you have money in a pension system it's intertwined with stocks and when stocks take a terrible tumble so does your four a one k. and this is an abstract this isn't child's play this is real for people that are invested in markets and the president really should be careful about his words even though his intentions may be good and well so where does that leave us i'll pass on the policy itself for now and just say that the policy procedure was really horrific it's no way to run the government and finally most of those steel worker jobs like i had are really unfortunately. gone forever should we be talking more

about the jobs of tomorrow how are we going to address robotics and artificial intelligence innovations perhaps we should not worry that much about the short term or the mid-term elections and focus on the future in front of us fifteen twenty thirty or even fifty years from now. that's it for now thanks for watching be sure to catch boom bust on you tube at you tube dot com slash boom bust our to catch you next time. it's been almost fifty years since we've had human beings on the surface of another planetary body and i hope that we could actually put together an international lunar exploration initiative much like we have the international space station

consortium and together the countries of the world cooperating with the private sector could afford to get back into real space exploration and i think that would that would create a real a lot of excitement. left on some is not is not a quick place is not a good country and. try. to administer a live bunch. of storms. as if that's what this thread so this is. just the culture. of the culture feel less sure of the. secular serious. feeling and just little and bias from the among the muslims feel from beating that i'm. a full scale film slow slow. play almost anything from the bible

and he makes the gnostic and our better john said i'm based on the best part of titan i mean can i do not cover mr weiss from that mcnabb how not eating. from a show cannot. construct mama cannot you someone must feel now words to talk them out. cool let's see this original song an hour ago so you will see about a lot of this is a moment from our voices in the city of the world over the sleeve of. our gathering of the lousiest.

the italian general election fails to produce an outright winner but sees a surge for euro skeptics. and u.n. aid convoy enters the syrian rebel enclave of eastern despite being shelled by owners for terrorists. and a russian a man convicted of spying for britain it reportedly falls critically ill in the u.k. after a suspected poisoning. the latest on these stories that are to dot com coming up now a former mideast advisor to the obama administration is the guest on sophie and co talking about the war in syria stay with us.

welcome to. the syrians. the war is again ask elating after taking only a short breath to celebrate the fall of isis but neighboring power is getting deeper and deeper involved in the quad mire what is next for the war torn country while i ask robert malley a former white house advisor on isis and the middle east and now has of the international crisis group. as the islamic state is reduced if you project. the other fronts in the syrian war and their embers rise into flames again as clashes break right across syria peace is once more a distant hope. the latest. results. conference is the

situation. to hammer out a common solution. robert malley the obama administration's advisor on the middle east now had of the international crisis group welcome to the show good to have you with us mr malley the u.s. state department is blaming gratia for the failed ceasefire in saying that russia has the influence to stop damascus from attacking and that's true and russia is using that influence to establish daily cease fires and humanitarian corridors but who has influence over the rebels and. who will tell them to stop firing rockets into damascus could possibly state department apply pressure to that side as well. so i worked as you said on the syria for for a long time including with many russian colleagues over the years and there's not a situation where you can't point to many parties that are responsible but it is i think it's a fact that in the case of these. it's the regime that has preponderant firepower

that is use that firepower in ways that i think are hard to hard to describe sometimes but certainly been visible for people who watch them and that russia has some influence i wouldn't say they have total influence but some influence in getting the syrian government to respect the united security u.n. security council resolution so i think that is a that is something that russia can and should do their other parties that have influence over the rebel groups turkey is one of them the u.s. may have some i mean it depends in each case the groups are different and the proper opinion will have so in these i'm going to have some impact if it saw that the bombing from the regime were to stop it would also put pressure on the rebels to stop but this is not none of these cases what i say that is a single culprit but in the end but in the case of peace and go with i think there's no doubt that the principle by far the principle of reza has been has been the government and i think that's been widely recognized and that should stop. i

think like as if way follow the general logic or. whether it's good regime or a bad regime is fighting a war so you can't just like sit there and do nothing right. when there is what like very being fired at as well so when the fire mr guta is discussed like you say that it's usually about civilians and assets troops but also troops are really only there because the rebels are so instead of or at the same time as telling us as forces to stop their offensive which i agree they should why not also tell the rebels to give up and like take buses to lift like it happened in aleppo or homes why is this plan not discussed the security council resolution is. well the security council resolution is clear right and russia was one of the parties that that agreed to it which is that the needs to be. a cease fire now that are that going to be with modalities that are going to be negotiated in conformity with international law sure but let's stop the firing on all sides and so the

international crisis group is calling for all sides to stop the fiery but you know there is as i say and i think it's clear for people watching that this is one party that has proposed reducing force nobody's asking it now to exercise self-defense but it isn't this is not a case of self-defense this is a case of from reports that there we see where there is often offensive action being taken against civilians innocent with us oh yes the rebels are going to have to be there to stop what they're doing is going to be an answer to that to the problems that are represented by the rebels some of whom. are engaging in activities that you just described as well but the the the mandate of the score the lesson of this critical resolution was very clear it calls for a cease fire so let's end the fired as allow humanitarian access people who want to leave could leave we don't need to after the eve i'm certain that civilians now and know has is going to have to be a solution to the question of the rebels as well but let's not mix things the security council resolution which russia agreed to which other members of the

screen council agreed to that's it wouldn't it that i think that's that's the first that so you said russia has some influence on assad's forces not a lot but some what leverage does the united states have in this i do not see not a lot i said not i said not not total influence there not total is another total so that it has i just i guess i just want to i just want to see what inflows debtor side has what leverage does the u.s. have and the situation on the ground in western syria how exactly can it influence the situation in your opinion. you know frankly i'm not sure today the u.s. has proponent influence over the rebel groups others do and in turkey in some serious situations has far more influence over. rebel groups than the u.s. has or even that the us use that and the us today has less influence over the rebel groups because it gives less support of the rebel groups so by definition it is going to have less leverage i think this is a case where all the parties that have provided support or that have provided whether it's material support of moral support to the rebels need to tell them they

need to stop shelling. regime controlled areas as well that has to that has to stop because it gives a justification a pretext often for the regime then to go in and to go in with disproportionate force i think you know again if you just look at the pictures and hear the accounts it's hard to call this simply not of self defense it's hard to call this consistent with international humanitarian law so i think those shouldn't really be those in the matters for debate yes the rebels have to stop firing the regime as a sub firing needs to be a cease fire and then some solution is to be felt and russia today has a role a stronger role probably than virtually anyone else in this theater to try to make that happen and they the they should use that influence to stop the shelling of civilians certainly on both sides but it has real influence on what it can get the regime to get like in your organizations writ recent article russia is called a reluctant driver in a syrian war and urged to take a more proactive role in

a conflict what you're saying right now that serious battle is becoming largely internationalized russia may have good relations with israel iran turkey but do you really believe moscow can just like tallow this country's all these regional powers what to do. you know and again having served in the u.s. government even the u.s. government can't tell its partners what to do i think there's often a myth about how. strong powers can snap their fingers and lesser powers will they they won't because they bait to their own logics and their own sense of self interest but our sense and this what the report that we should not long ago which was not about is good that was really about southwest syria where we've seen this confrontation between israel and against iran and its allies and south with syria and beyond in that situation russia does have real influence because it controls to large extent the skies over syria and so israel it would have

a hard time flying over syria if russia didn't want it to do so and it also has it does have influence and leverage over and again not total leverage but some influence over the regime over iran over hezbollah sort of they would listen to what russia has to say even though they may not always follow what it has to say but today there is no actor in syria this is you know something i think russia wanted to achieve there's no actor in syria that has as many and strong contacts with all. players all belligerents you mentioned in israel is bola the regime soon regime iran turkey all of them do talk to moscow all of them want to talk to moscow all of them have an interest in preserving good relations with moscow that's not the case with the united states today the united states has obviously strong relations with israel it has ambivalent relations with turkey it has no relation or better relations with iran has been the regime so so when we say they are in the driver see what we mean is they do have this sort of pivot place this pivotal role

and it should be in their interest to prevent things from getting out of hand as they almost did a few weeks ago between israel and iran president putin appears to stepped in and told people to calm down but it might be better certainly for syria we would argue be better also for russia's interest and for others to step in sooner. to try to make sure that miscalculation or misunderstandings don't blow up. probably not even intentional but just blow up between the polluter and over whom as we say it's not russia has some influence and some of the average so at the international crisis group previously called for outright u.s. intervention in the syrian civil war do you still feel that at this moment no. i don't think the president has ever called for u.s. intervention and so that libby's sisters and i while we're there are you know there was a period of time well what you had to be specific about being about being involved in the letter of the insurance in washington ok while the laboratory and trying to

do you feel like america should be more involved at that it it already at this point in the syrian conflict. not in the sort of culture that in the u.s. should play a role as others to try to end the conflict that's not trying to put poor fuel on the fire but to try to end the conflict i've said you know in the past i think part of the part of the mistake said this publicly about the policy is that that i was involved in is that there was an inability to separate the humanitarian goal which is to lessen if not end the suffering of the syrian people for the political goal which was to get rid of assad and i think that goal should have been put aside in the focus should have been on what do we need to do to end the suffering of the syrian people that should have been the priority from early on and you know that was not the case so today my our organizations are doing our mandate is not about regime change it's not about you know getting rid of us it's about how do we end the violence between among all sides and that's why we do call in russia which has

a role to play which has influence to bear to play the role the u.s. also should not be what we made clear is that the u.s. should not use syria as a battlefield against iran or or whether it's a battlefield to try to stop iran or to block iran that should not be the goal the goal today and i believe this for some time in the early on should be to end the violence and the conflict and that's for the political issues to the side for now but you know you have hundreds of thousands of syrians who died as a result of this conflict they should be the ones who are thinking. ok rob we're going to take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue talking to robert malley obama administration's advisor on the middle east and president all their national crisis group about the situation in syria at state with us.

join me every thursday on the all excited i'm sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. who tells the u.s. to come back to earth challenging washington's older ambitions also in the legal war against him and in one army in the g.o.p. she is a recipe for disaster as well as to be treated more. global war hawks telling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chickenhawk forcing you to fight the battles they're going. to do socks credit tell you that will be gossip and probably by most importantly. the advertising telling

me you are not cool enough to buy your product. although we along the border walk. now we're back with robert malley is a obama administration's advisor on isis on the middle east now had of the international crisis group talking about the war in syria is growing more and more complex mr malley you met president assad in person do you think you will stop short of conquering the whole territory from the rebels i mean what recovering its unity under asaad may ultimately be better for syria than splintering it into

a patchwork of rebel warlord controlled areas. so i met a many many years ago before before the war so i can't i can't really claim that i know from those meetings how he would react i think we know from the way he's been conducting the war that the goal is to reconquer or to retake as much of syria's possible and perhaps all of syria i don't think that that's something that's going to happen in the near term because of turkey's presence and because of the u.s. and kurdish presence in the in the east so i don't i don't think that that's going to be an attainable goal it is a goal that in the medium to long term the regime is going to continue pursuing you know it is going to raise an issue i mean again one one could one could say that we're going take a position one way or the other about whether assad should go but it is clear that there be many constituencies in syria who would not be thrilled to see the regime extend its writ back on them and not part of the country where there are solutions

and i know that this is part of what different countries are talking about whether the solutions that would involve greater decentralization in syria so that some of the areas that have been. not under control of the regime for some time could be slightly more thomas even though they fall under the sovereignty of the state that's something that needs to be discussed in the context of the political the political talks that are ongoing go whether in geneva or the place in sochi in the context of talk about a new constitution so theoretically should the come through as a country be reunited and not be a patchwork and not have influence by different countries of course and i'm sure that's what most syrians would want i don't think that's realistic under current conditions it may not be realistic as long as the regime is what it is today i don't know that's that's obvious the some of the syrians are going to have to decide but there is in for a lot of blood that's been spilt and i'm sure this. it's going to take some time for many syrians to reconcile themselves to the different reality now the geneva

soft she asked to not talks about achievements such as the from the confliction zone observation pos reconciliation centers but obviously failed to dent the greater war itself can post-war syria be decided during this conferences i'm in is that realistic. you know having spent a long time in geneva both with the russian colleagues but also with the un and others it's hard to be particularly hopeful that was going to be decided in geneva is going to make much of a as much of a difference as one might have hoped the reality on the ground is what's going to determine the future of syria that means the balance of power between among the warring parties the warring syrian parties in there the regime certainly appears to have the upper hand in most of syria i think as i said the exception is the larger the kurdish areas and it live but then there's also the competition as you say among foreign powers turkey iran israel. cetera and. there

are their views are also going to weigh heavily as to the future of syria so my own i think my own in crisis group's own assessment is that at this point we are looking at a patchwork that's not by any means ideal and hopefully that can move towards a more decentralized syria in which foreign parties exit but that's again i think we're at it depends on what time horizon you're talking about i think for now the aspiration should be the priority should be lessened if not end the violence and if that means having zones that are slightly different in terms of the way they're governed and choose the kind of influence of the regime. if that's the price to pay that's an acceptable price to pay in order to stop the suffering the bombing of hospitals the bombing of civilians the displaced with the refugee if that what we need to do is put a priority on that and that may mean for some time that syria will not be as unified as as a regime or others may like it to be so they've taken flexion agreements don't

include jihad as brigades fighting in italy or elsewhere and since they control the whole lot of territory i mean assad soldiers will and have the right to move into a blip and fight them. and that's probably what they going to do if it comes down to it so is dick confliction there for just a symbolic move saying how it doesn't really concern the main front of the war. so i mean this is been one of the issues that since two thousand and fifteen we've been debating with russia and others when i was in the ministration our crisis group is grappling with which is of course. you know we can't treat jihad as same way as you treat as civilians and they are parties that are going to have to either change or behavior they're going to have to be fought. but it was all too often it's been used as a pretext justification to go in and bomb everyone including if they're not out it's and again you know the maybe disagreement on this but that's certainly been the experience that i saw as they screened so there are folks on the ground that the figure leave for the pretext of saying we're going after jihad this will not

and this really going after al qaeda is often used to indiscriminately bomb people who are nothing to do with them now the answer to that is a not to indiscriminately bomb of course but it's also to find ways to pressure those groups either so that they disband or that they the they change i mean this is not this is been one of the issues that has plagued syria and again i think responsibility is not only on the regime and its allies many of the supporters of the opposition turned a blind eye when some of the more the less jihad is groups were. get intermingled with the job as groups and that became a real issue and that's partly why we are in the situation we're in today but if again if one takes the position that the goal the priority today must be to lessen if not end the violence then we need to take some time where we're going to stop the bombing and try to resolve the question of what to do with jihad as groups and to do it in a way that actually does not go into effect and kill civilians because i think you know this and your audience know this on the international law it's not an excuse

to say the reason we bombed civilians is because we were going after after terrorists sometimes united states has done the same thing i'm not on the scale that russia is doing in syria i would argue but sometimes other countries have gone in on the on the claim that they were going after terrorist groups they've often hit civilians. it seems to be happening in series that's being done in a more deliberate way in a more large scale way and that's that's really what needs to stop all right so this whole assad must say assad moscow issue has been a debate forever and washington was first very adamant about assad must go now we hear well wait you can maybe stay do you feel that state department has a clear cut line when it comes to syria doesn't really know what it's doing as i think what happened is we went for as you say for a period of a sudden must go then during the first months of the trump administration it

sounded as if that position had softened if you go back and look at some of the statements that secretary of state tillerson or u.n. ambassador nikki haley made one thought that maybe there was a shift of late very clearly certainly in the words of secular tillerson we're back to assad must go as i said earlier i think for already now should not be a sad state as it goes we all could have our views and whether he is the right person to lead syria at this time on the program for international crisis group is not let's not focus on that now let's focus on ending the war and let's not make intermingle the humanitarian concern which is the bombing of hospitals or bombing of civilians the shelling of damascus by rebel groups that's not and obviously the bombing by the regime as i was mentioning earlier there's a makes it that with the political objectives which some people may still have we need to put those aside the political objectives of those need to be resolved at the negotiating table they're not going to be resolved in the battlefield at this point so so i think that's the i think the position of the state department today

and of the i assume of the white house is clearer than it had been in the first ones of the tribe in this regime there back to the notion that assad needs to go the geneva process needs to leave to his his departure and again eisenberg i negotiated this with some of the many russians and many others we would spend. years arguing over whether assad should leave in a month or in two months or in six months. and years have gone by so let's not waste more time on that question i mean there is no way when they're wasting we're going to milan italy but like you've said it does feel like you know the state dept is back on to the outside moscow thing you know and i mean isn't it a little strange i mean you seem like a sensible man like you're not really picking sides is it a little strange the fact that there is a country or several countries which openly demand change in other governments by force why is that ok and if minutes well it just said you know sorry we've had enough of you trump you must go on that you know start arming anti trump extremists how would that look like to america you know if i had to do the list of who's

responsible i think we wouldn't we would have enough time in an hour but certainly the the regimes disproportionate response the decision by by several outsiders to to as i say makes the objective which is to end the violence with the political objective which was to get rid of assad the fact that syria became a better ground for regional insurance between iran saudi arabia turkey its us than russia all of that and the fact that people were in a way encouraging the rebels to believe that they could topple the regime which which only food for the fuel of the comp i think you know will have time in the months and years to come to look back and learn everything that shouldn't have been done in syria and i said think everyone is going to come out of this looking pretty bad the regime may be worse by some measure but everyone else will look will look at that as well but i think there will be time to debate that to debate the bigger question about humanitarian so vention one is a justified one is a not justified that's the debate that has been taking place now for some decades

but let's not be paralyzed by that debate and let's focus on what really matters today and which is it's just silence the guns so you know there's there's a question i you know everyone will have their opinion was the right to call from a bar for gadhafi for saddam hussein for for for us to leave what has it meant for the middle east was that the right approach i think crisis group has had. as we're in the past many times about the big flaws of u.s. policy that has tried to impose its will on other countries and often in ways that have hurt not just the countries but the u.s. as well as we've seen certainly in iraq that let's you know we could have that debate is a worthy debate to have because there's also the day what does one do if one sees massacres in countries whether it's from the wrong or in syria with hundreds of thousands of people are killed does the international community whoever that whatever that means does it have a responsibility to step in and to stop that they've got a real question that people have to face too which we don't have a good answer today but you know all of those questions will have plenty of time to

resolve the need to be resolved but let's not use it as a reason not to address the media urgent question of how to stop the killing in syria. all right mr malley thanks a lot for this interview were talking to robert malley former advisor to president obama now president and c.e.o. of the international crisis group discussing crisis in syria and that's it for this edition of self same cost next. thank you. done some is not is not a quick place is not a good country. church because if the minister to live bush.

greetings and salutation well the oscars may be over but the ad trix here in washington d.c. might never end this weekend the house intelligence committee had devon new newness the republican out of california put his best dramatic foot forward while making the news media rounds all weekend in response to a recent skit by late show host stephen colbert which saw the comedian hit the hollowed halls of capitol hill to push his own version of the trump russian intelligence memo which he subtly intitled devon newness is a blank redacted fill in the blank you know whatever you'd like it to be the offended congressman sounded off to fox news host neil cavuto declaring i think this is the danger we have in this country this is an example of it he went on to lay out a vast left wing conspiracy against him another conservative saying the left controls not only the universities in this country but they also control hollywood in this

country and the mainstream media so conservatives in this country are under attack and i think this is a great example of it but miss oscar weekend cable news carousel wasn't finished with just a little a little cut owing no new new new new new no intelligence committee chairman sounded off yet again this time to light liberty in levying host mark levine telling his box news sunday audience that quote the media in this country is dead it no longer exists and the american people need to understand this well. in the words of john mcclane. welcome to the party pal because golly gee whiz congressman nunez anyone who's been paying attention could told you that much which is why most of us have said farewell to your left and right wings of news media and started watching the hawks. it

looks like. it's like. asking you to pull out of. your league. with the like you that i got. this. week so. tell the world to watch the hawks i have with her and i'm tabitha wallace and joining us today is american radio and t.v. host and conservative commentator steve malzberg welcome steve great to be here guys steve always a pleasure now is can it be called ironic that congress when newness was was describing with the supposed a you know suffocating choke hold the liberal media has of us airwaves while appearing on one of the biggest most popular news channels in the world that. is a born for conservative politics and values and is it really that imbalanced.

between you. oh yeah i mean it's overwhelming it has been forever you know we used to have the three networks a.b.c. c.b.s. n.b.c. where you could get your news from and they were all in retrospectively doing left their host because of those coveted news shows that had such gravitas we find out later we're all leftists but today yeah i mean as you pointed out fox right away you think conservative and they are more conservative but i gotta say they have true liberal contributors on their payroll when if you look at the other cable networks they don't go to true conservative contributors they all have a rhino's republicans in name only who bash trump and they're called republicans so i mean i have no what no no what legions to fox here but fox is more fair and balanced than any of the others but look it's the media it is the universities i

mean look what happens when a conservative speaker wants to speak at berkeley or here in new york there are riots there i mean there's damage done in the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars fires are said we're living in very troubled times and conservatives do get the brunt of all of it. you know i think there's a few things i could i could disagree with you want to give you those and drive it is this idea that you know that it's suddenly this new thing that looking at the news and not seeing your perspective of your idea being up there and this what this all brings me back to personally is back to the ninety's and the sort of clinton machine and democrats ever since is that i didn't agree with it when the left at it which was saying that every talking point about hillary or every talking point about obama was just a right wing conspiracy it's just a right wing talking point so isn't blaming the left or blaming the right as we've all done whether depending on what side we're on doesn't that sort of miss the

bigger picture that our mainstream media is really just one big corporate click that protects the status quo and they will shine on whatever side will make them the most money. well i mean. yes to an extent but no i mean if you look at the double standard that exists the liberals get away with everything look look at alec baldwin let's take hollywood and t.v. and disney and alec baldwin and disney of course owns a.b.c. if you had a conservative who left a phone message on his twelve year old or eleven year old daughter at the times phone answering machine that the whole world heard where he calls her a little pig and worse and has a history of run ins and alleged homophobic slurs against photographers and physical altercations allegedly with photographers this guy this conservative would have been drummed out of the business years ago he gets a spokesman gig for banks now we've got to has a new talk show on a.b.c.

disney i mean that the double standard i could go on on and on and on and on for the whole show and chose to come with these examples of the double standard that the media is a left wing joke there is no journalism i disagree with but noone is said about the media is that the media is that but specifically journalism is dead there is no more journalism in this country that i think are good i can agree with that and i agree with that too at the very degrees of it but i you know when i was someone who sits in the middle maybe there's a lot to perspective but it's summer so it's kind of in the middle i see the extremes of both sides out represented in the news media today i will do i will group you though i do think that the by and large most reporters most members of the media do leave more left and that does show up you can't escape that bias but but i think they're not great at this on certain issues i will say the leftist media is not helping a lot but students are you know that what i came up with new in this is are we over

using the greatest danger excuse too much these days i mean represent adam schiff congress of the greatest danger to the country and. you know telling feeling that stephen king. what are the greatest dangers to the country threats to our country is it is a truly great danger is just congress too thin skinned these birds i think i think they're dangerous if you you know if you express it in certain ways and get specific but the greatest danger or a great danger i could think of other you know greater dangers than the stephen colbert there and the media and hollywood and that's namely north korea for one and i could probably run down a list of of others as well but look you know what's interesting yesterday jimmy kimmel again another late leftist who actually says on his show or has said i don't want supporters watching me i don't want conservatives watching me now that's suicide you would think however he was very political the whole oscars last night

was very political you alluded to the oscars in your monologue that he took ninety seconds to attack trump called his tweets in the toilet or something and then took it from there and the ratings were down sixteen percent from a year prior what do they expect people don't want to see this garbage only the hard left does and they're destroying their in the only industry and they don't care they just don't care well as someone who spent almost twenty years of my life and hollywood hollywood business behind the scenes and you know behind and in front of the camera i can see that part of that thing is that i think the idea that hollywood is this liberal bastion of open minds and open hearts and that everyone is so well protected because we're all in this lefty wonderland as a joke and i think harvey weinstein and the what we've seen from that was what a joke and as the let me ask you there was you know jimmy kimmel's opening monologue which initially we all thought he was not going to mention anything about

about harvey and all of that stuff but gellman del toro's closing speech. amazing speech i felt as a one man. and it was all to mostly very on the political aisle very liberal obviously nobody was going up saying we need to end abortion and or that we need more war or anything to see do you think this year's oscars were just too political for conservative viewers and how how could we possibly have movies and so word movies that have these very intrinsic human experiences that are going to be political how do we do that without seeming sensitive insensitive to conservative viewers. and if i don't i think yeah i mean well yesterday you know it the funny thing is that the ironic thing first of all we had heard that he was told not to get political while i was a joke because i mean everybody was political and it was political one way of course against trump against conservatives pence was not trump was not you know

right on down the line but you know somebody said a very successful or done with smaller production companies and they're very they're themes are very back to the whole sort of time if you will their program legend there about god god is involved in these movies kevin sorbo is involved in a bunch of those but i got to tell you i've talked to a lot of people in hollywood. that that would come on my show or that wouldn't come on my show over the years because they're not big enough and they're afraid they'll never work again if you've got some people that are brave like robert davi maria conchita alonso and others but there are many who are conservative and say you can't say anything i can't say anything because they won't work i'm not saying that hollywood is. all of bracing and open minded i'm saying they're closed minded and liberal and sure i mean what went on with harvey weinstein is outrageous but

there again you know the joke is oprah all for what should be the one most wonderful president the world she's a woman look at all the pictures she's there posing with harvey weinstein yucking it up that was an open secret in hollywood i believe my opinion which i've paid to give is is that she she had to know about it and she did nothing to stop it so that whole thing is a is a joke if you're a liberal you get away with it if you're a conservative you better not say the wrong word sneeze and don't say excuse me or you're not going to work again you'll be ruined well now imagine what it's like to sit there and work for our parents you know you know. you got it now you know what i feel like i don't feel like from both sides i'm not going anywhere that isn't. thing because you know when you look back at the you know i think that no one's ever going to argue that hollywood has a very liberal slant and no one's ever going to argue that that's going to show up you know most artists and when you kind of take the cross section there go we're going to kind of lean that way but i do think there's a is

a problem when you let politics it's one thing to have your views but when you let politics invade too much of your what should be you know what is what i want half the business the other half in our form you know don't let it be politics just for politics sake i'm all for someone standing up and voicing their first amendment right to be political and say i will make a speech i've got the spotlight on me i'm going to do that i love that but at the end of the day always remember the hollywood is a business that is there to appeal to all the viewers not just a select group and so it has to have that balance i think that you're losing you're losing half you're insulting half your audience now when you're listening to a talk show or watching a talk show on t.v. i personally like to watch the other side i like to have my blood boil but if i'm paying for to watch an entertainer or at the movies or a concert you know i what i used to love bruce springsteen ok and he's done terrible things in my view over the years that turned me off to him but the the

coup de gras was what he was overseas i forget where and he took a sign from someone in the audience and it said f. and it said the whole yeah yeah he held it up and that's steve malzberg i got to say thank you so much for coming on the day always an interesting conversation with you always a pleasure all right. as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover the facebook and twitter circle shows our t. dot com coming up our own taffeta was delves into the one from a zero sum cyber security with industry expert morgan wright stay tuned to watching the hawks. jamie diamond no matter how much he tried to talk down because then that or how much he tried to. get his buddies in washington and out why because i mean the fact this is lost is lost the battle of big klein these guys now come crawling back to the market and say you know what the whole banking industry has been fundamentally change we need to adapt.

for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of alternative but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous is a huge tournaments and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the shuttle with you and we will show you all the great game. you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down there we have to go. alone. and i'm really happy to join for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one come on top of. me to just read the review p.r.t. team's latest edition to make up a bigger. book. the

church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally. to call this to do graphic solution so what the bishop. to do then he finds out that the priest is a perpetrator is simply moved him to a different spot where the previous standard was not known highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that is as old as the eye and then i can flip out at tuesday's out until.

the voices calling for governments and corporations to do something about cyber security might be able to do a much better job protecting themselves earlier i spoke with cyber security expert we're going to write and started by asking him what is the biggest mistake most people make when it comes to their personal cybersecurity. you know i think it's this issue of trust they think they're inside the system so they should be able to trust everything that comes through like at home you think you get something from your friend on facebook or somebody sends you an e-mail so i could trust that you have no idea what you're doing and then by the minute you the second you click that link you're installing ransomware or some malicious software that's going to get in so i think people have to used to be trust but verify now you've got to flip this around and say i need to verify what this is if you send me an e-mail with the p.d.f. and we haven't talked about it one of the first things i'm doing is i'm calling you say did you send me a p.d.f. and i've had to do that it sounds like it's time consuming but i tell people it's so it takes you a minute to do that you can either spend a minute doing that or spend ten hours getting your computer back it's up to you

what do you think dave is it about certain products or is it just trusting sort of the all in bundle or you know is that there is there a way product that can help people or is it more about bad habits that there's an old saying that says the key the best camera is the one you have so the best security product is actually the one you use if you don't use it it can't help you the biggest thing with any product no matter whether it's security or your operating system we keep it up to date there are a lot of good companies out there that provide anti-virus here's the problem anti-virus there are do you know that there's a million variants of viruses and malicious software being generated every day so i'm trying to follow. what they and they make it just a sick too because they infect your machine yeah i think we were going to have a kind of a shift and you're seeing the industry shift in terms of where we're quite worrying about all these different variants instead what we start we still look at behavior in other words if you were to were just talking about your dogs before and if your dog started acting different you see their behavior you don't need a bunch of tests to say hey something's wrong so the experts now in the companies

are saying let's start looking at the behavior let's start looking at things that the system should be doing and then stop that so i think you're going to see some things like that but you're right what it comes down to people's i think the biggest problem is people's own poor bad habits bad passwords bad their own personal hygiene they don't encrypt their information they don't get on what's called a virtual private network. when they're on a wireless network outside of their home so there's a lot of things people can do it's like putting your seatbelts on and keeping two car lengths you just got to get some better habits if you want to stay safe do you think some of that's because you know the internet really has only been with us fully in this forum for the last ten fifteen years and it's a bit like you know getting cars think you learn you have to check to check your tires security is like that what would you say are the most important things past where it's actually an aisle to have a thing called free password course dot com but it links to some other stuff which there are some things you can do which is number one and it's not don't use the same password for your bank account as you do for facebook. if there are some

people who do that trust me i don't know if you have we don't want to give that away you know might i tell you about not my a bank account but believe it or not i was i was just out at the cia conference for a very large state yesterday and one of the biggest passwords are the biggest problem people deal with both that working at home so i have a structure of how to get remember those passwords encrypt everything you have whether it's stored locally you know or it's moving don't click on suspicious links you know that's one of the ways that ransomware now is it was a three cost three hundred fifty billion dollars in damage and twenty fifteen guess what it did in twenty seventeen five billion dollars right now the colorado department of transportation can't pay its employees because they're infected with ransomware and just a cut because guess what somebody clicked on a link so i'll tell you the biggest problem not only for people if you have bad habits you're speaking of driving if you're a poor driver and you go to work for the police department you're still a poor driver just because you're in a car and i know from experience. oh i could drive really good now because i have these lights and sirens so they get on the internet and you're right we're now

raising the first true post internet generation they're kind of calling it the i didn't you know pass the millennial they've never known anything but the internet so that brings up a whole nother host of problems how are we going to raise our kids to be better on the internet like you say it's like driving you've got to go to school first learn the course you know about driving. learn the rules of the road then start training on it and then you actually get the technology were to one of the mistakes parents made is they give their technology too fast too quick to the kids without establishing the rules of the road and you see that a lot of parents say that they're trying to understand that various with kids now and a lot of it has to do with technology on the other side are the people who work behind the scenes the technology professionals know cybersecurity professionals are the gatekeepers you know it's the kingdom of information that everything you know is put into different institutions corporations in the world how are these individual selected are they hired just on their expertise and background which is what are those backgrounds and what does ethics how does that play

a role and whether or not these people get hired or work in the industry so we'll take the first one what are the expertise you'd be surprised having come from a large technology company before like cisco there were people walking around the halls that had fifty patents never went to college a lot of these were self-taught now but but trained but that's because they had to transition that now to where there are a lot of colleges now that have a degree program specifically for cybersecurity we're getting people who were go to college say i want to learn cybersecurity so we're seeing the expertise get up and i think what you'll see is that from the programmer for the people who actually do the work level you're going to want all the technical skills but as you move up you've got to have the business skills because cybersecurity now is about how do you keep a business safe let's talk about equifax for a second i want you to be the i don't need to be the smartest person in the world to know if we've got a if we've got our biggest system it was called the consumer dispute database that is connected to the internet and there is a problem and there is a patch that needs to be applied first question is was the patch applied yet i don't have to be

a cyber security expert to ask that question so we have to have that ability to go two questions deep but then that gets into the issue of ethics you are in that position we saw happen in twitter remember when donald trump's account was turned off for a little bit somebody had access so it's that trusted insider so ethics in this area is huge because you're right we give those people the keys to. kingdom and unless you trust them with that keys the trusted insider will become even more of a threat as time goes on as we get better at cyber security the easiest way and it's going to have find somebody who can give you the key to unlock the door and not breaking through the very sophisticated lock what does that mean the idea that the trusted insider and how does that connect to you know what's going on today when we're seeing if things get stolen we're all told that we have to worry about someone from the outside coming in what is the trusted insider and why is why is that person so dangerous so we're in washington d.c. so a couple examples of the trusted insider people like robert hanssen the f.b.i. agent james you've had people who were trusted inside other organizations and even

companies you know that gave intellectual property to other companies so the trusted insiders the person who's been inside that company has risen to a level where nobody questions anymore of their role in their responsibility in their authority or the access they have the information one of the reasons of getting a security clearance is so i don't have to go through and explicitly prove that we trust you to do this once i do your background i can now implicitly trust i don't have to prove it each time and that's what people take advantage of and that's why i say when you make the locks on the doors tougher to break through the easiest way to get in is going to be the insider interested what do you think is the most important skill lacking in this new generation of cyber security professionals where what do you think is the one thing that if someone wants to get into cyber security what's the one area that you feel you really have a handle on what's really important you know i believe or not it's not the technology because you're to be able to learn that people need to start understanding what impact does this have on how businesses run on how schools protect their information or universities or banks protect their information because if you make it too tough for me to get to that information i'm going to

find an easier way to do it and the easier way is always less secure so it's really understand the technology but spend some time in the real world to understand there are consequences for what you do and that look businesses are in the business since to make money universities are in the business to do research governments are in the business in certain areas to keep secrets. making sure you understand what the business is that you're in and understanding what they do that's i think the key thing people want to go in play with the technology they don't spend enough time learning about what's the root what's the main thing here and always keep the main thing the main thing and how does that you as a as a company or you as a consumer not just this is great for happy likes nothing sort of one size fits all what do you believe is the biggest threat to our personal security our personal online data and information what's the biggest threat and individual a government or a corporation if we are we are able are the workers people are the worst you know there is a funny video that i played yesterday and it is you can find it on you tube it's

jimmy kimmel and they walked around and this is when obama was still in office and after is the state of the union address talking about cyber security what we think it's important so we want to see what your passwords are you would not believe people left or so but these are the people working for you that gave away their passwords to somebody holding a microphone with a camera and they're telling them their parents words we are always the biggest threat to everything that goes on in other words if we have bad habits we're teaching our children bad habits or if we have bad habits again at home we take them to work so if we secure ourselves first if we become responsible for ourselves we will have a much safer environment interesting i think there's a lot when it comes on line security are the innovations of our communications and automation still outpacing our ability to protect ourselves and defend our communities from what most people call sort of unsolicited surveillance or outright attack something like ransom are you know is are we catching up to that. to the technology is that technology where is the gap technology ois up places our ability

to understand it government is a perfect example of where the wiretap laws that are in use today are actually originated in the one nine hundred twenty s. i mean for organized crime and al capone back then it we haven't really evolved a lot of our own policies to track the technology so. just when you get used to an i pad or an i phone and the way it works something comes out there's a new thread or there has to be an update so the bad guys are going to one of those things. you have to think about connecting the dots they think outside the boundaries so the whole thing about connect the dots most people trying to keep it in that little square and connect online dots that guys think outside the boundaries that's where these actors work so we're used to thinking in this box so that sometimes it's our own beliefs that inhibit us but i'll tell you again it goes back to what i think is is that people we've got a very early training people and it's no different than teaching drove a car you wouldn't teach a kid to drive a car by holding a beer or taking the seatbelt off and wearing a blindfold oh is that and that's not how it's nice to have them they're not even from kansas. but we do the equivalent of that when we are when we're sitting in

a restaurant with our kids and we get our heads down we're not paying attention what's going on we're not the intentional we're giving them the bad habits and guess where they take those bad habits to school to work you know into the profession so for businesses it's believe it or not we're ten years away fifteen years away from actually having the right kind of workforce we need that actually takes security seriously. twenty five years ago a strange little five five show called x. files graced our screens in it a brooding believer in the paranormal an extra terrestrials f.b.i. agent fox mulder was assigned a new partner at the skeptical medical doctor with a badge dana scully and scully didn't just change fox mulder the fictional f.b.i. she changed how we looked at women in the fields of science technology engineering and math more importantly how women view themselves in those fields it turns out the scully effect is real and all those young women watching dana scully a character who didn't look like the baywatch babes of the one nine hundred ninety s. were actually inspired to go into stem fields. scully had an undergrad in physics

a couple of stanford doctorates and she did it all in sensible shoes while giving perfect eye rolls to mulder's ever increasing and more is amy ferries that usually ended up being true to what we watch makes a difference and dana scully made us all believe that science is a human pursuit not just a male one and that the truth no snowed gender in the words of dana scully don't answer estimate women don't underestimate women how to out of the rest about go but not as if they could be tricksters tale oh. oh yeah that was really well done congrats to david scully's character of the people who put her together joining us and all of the writers and all of them because it is a great role but i would advise on the show actually said that university of maryland when he asked how many people even in the ninety's how many people got into it as a dana scully two thirds of the women on the ground that's fantastic well that is are still going to be a member everyone in this world we're not told them up enough to tell you all i love you i am tired robots are not having all that keep on watching those days that

. it's been almost fifty years since we've had human beings on the surface of another planetary body and i hope that we could actually put together an international lunar exploration initiative much like we have the international space station consortium and together the countries of the world cooperating with the private sector could afford to get back into real space exploration and i think that would that would create a a lot of excitement. you can only resume folding in the realm of education the right to education being

supplanted by the rule. to access education it's high education is becoming just another product that can be born and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you good. luck. want is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now i'm an extremely more high education the new global economic war.

now right winner but sees a surge for euro skeptics. on. a u.n. aid convoy enters the syrian rebel enclave of eastern good despite being shelled by all nusra terrorists. and a russian man convicted of spying for britain reportedly falls critically ill in the u.k. after a suspect in the poisoning. alfie latest on the stories you can head to our t.v. dot com up next it is crosstalk looking at putin's reaction and message for washington in his latest speech stay with us.

hello and welcome to cross talk or all things are considered i'm peter lavelle putin tells the u.s. to come back to earth challenging washington's you know polar ambitions also calls to end the illegal war against yemen and why arming the can bring is a recipe for disaster as well as the return to trade wars. across talking some real news i'm joined by my guest mark sloboda he's an international affairs and security analyst and we have dmitri bobbitt she is a political analyst with spook nick international right and when crosstalk rules in fact that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate it first of all we have to go to putin speech on russia returning to nucular parity with the

united states and we have to comment about the erosion of arms control regimes that are very important here mark and looking at the major cable stations in the broadsheets they don't give much of a background why the speech was given and its significance go ok well there's two speeches the first part of the speech was a domestic state of the union speech saying this is what i've accomplished in my years in office so far this is what we haven't accomplished this is where we want to go this is our obstacles and this is how we think we can get there and it was a very good the majority of the speech it was a two hour speech the majority of it was the voted to domestic matters lots of facts and figures he's clearly on top of his game knows this economy inside out though is where he wants to take it. focus on. increasing g.d.p. per capita and also science technology edging. ations bending.

the other part of the speech was a reply to the u.s. it was a reply to two things one the us unilaterally pulling out of the anti-ballistic missile treaty that was the bedrock of the nuclear. parity global strategy of mad mutually assured destruction and the other one was that pull out was under the george w. bush administration back in two thousand and one russia yelled about it at the time and said the measures they would take and they've now announced them the other thing was a direct response to trump's new nuclear posture review which came out a few weeks ago we've talked about it on the show it has almost been ignored in the western press very very slight amount of news certainly nothing on the talk shows and russia is extremely alarmed by it and they've made clear how alarmed they are by it and they made clear reiterating their strategy and i would i would say

replying in kind to the u.s. to that it will resort to its own completely differently that russia is aggressive on the international stage but mark is absolutely right if we look at the larger prick picture here we had parity was out of sync that was the entire purpose of these nuclear armaments agreements to keep a sense of balance to make sure there was massive destruction where you wouldn't attack another country on a first strike now what the russians have done with this speech and with the introduction of these weapons is to bring that balance back into into place absolutely and i agree with mark that speech was a response to the nuclear pulse to report the united states and i would like to point your attention to the fact that a region that he was supposed to speak in december he postponed the speech until know why because it was a response to your digestive or you. posture right and maybe i will disagree

a little bit on nuclear parity it russia is not seeking to have the same amount of nuclear weapons for conventional weapons will be the west but he really is impaired in the sense we're there we can do you discourage that have the source ability of any little bit of nuclear exchange is north they want to be able to. completely there is to have enough capability to inflict and unbearable damage dissuading damage that's why i put in said you know showing all these new weapons and their underwater drone he says that i'm not going to produce a lot of them he mistook the weapons that can overcome the american baby and. then inflict the damage markets deterrence is all about deterrence and that's what all of these weapon systems are all about i mean again it will be spun in a very naive simplistic way but this these are all defensive measures of course

they're i mean defensive measures to get past the u.s. anti-ballistic missile shield which russia is worried about because of first strike capability which u.s. geo political thinkers have been salivating at the thought and openly voicing that they now thought that they were getting nearer to a first strike capability and he's not just replying to the pulling out of the treaty he's replying to the deployment of anti ballistic missile shield sections in poland in romania alaska california south korea nice easy in that he highlighted some thirty one destroyers a number of cruise ships that that form part of the money it just isn't going to worry is it going to work oh it is russia's reply going to war oh yes of course the reason why is and this is a key to the new arms race and for those who haven't been paying attention russia

didn't start a new. arms race the arms race has already been going on for two decades because of the u.s. pulling out of it all the major powers russia china india the e.u. the us have all been developing hypersonic weapons underwater drones all of these things but it is much much cheaper easier to build and deploy missiles that can a vague missile defense then and then to create new missile defense that can counter those well it just. does not resolve the problem what we need a smart war heads and i think paradoxically it was a conservative speech putin ones that want to return to the safety to the period of say four years he said when u.s. has to come back to earth absolutely and he mentioned it in an interview that the united states actually destroyed the arms control system when they went out of their anti-ballistic missile treaty signed in one thousand seven hundred two the

whole idea of that treaty was it's a very american idea you know to call boys are facing each other with these thoughts none of them has avoided profe west so the wall stop shooting because each of them on the stand is going to be the death for the importance of a.b.m. anti-ballistic missile treaty mark is that it was the foundation for all the other new greenman so ok the one that we're have one as the new start to grieve and this is one of the things that was meant to didn't mention in the speech he did reach out made it very clear to sit down pretty obviously with the united states here. to negotiate a new generation of agreements that that's very important something that wasn't mentioned as a very important go to the anti-ballistic missile treaty was the foundation upon which these other agreements were built now one of the reasons for putin's announcement and this is a direct successor to putin's two thousand and seven munich speech a speech that in order to understand modern. i think everyone needs to read he

warned of the consequences then he's now warning what we've done and where we're at now and both of these two major treaties arms control treaties the intermediate range nuclear forces in the new start treaty are due to expire in just the next few years one thousand nine hundred. nineteen two thousand nine hundred eighty either one to two thousand and twenty one so he's actually making a plea here yes sit down at the table he said directly you did not hear us then well listen to us now now before it's too late or it's too late to change gears here gentlemen i made a promise to our viewers here that we would keep an eye what's going on in yemen a grossly unreported story in western media demon we have a move in the u.s. senate to call. the white house to stop its involvement in the war against them and that's led by saudi arabia this is something that we

talked about last week about the authorization of military force is going to go anywhere i'm afraid of the current it's going to continue and it's just unthinkable you know all the western media is talking about is to go to what you would have. maybe a few doors and sell thousands of people in here and you have to weigh in to seven million people and sixteen million out of them have no access to potable water and insufficient food supplies and they're being borne by them also and we have to hand it to you as how to deal with all of the very systematic a blockade here kate continuous since november two thousand and seventeen because look beyond which the u.s. has participated absolutely where does this come from is this. a red herring here that suddenly congress is waking up to its responsibilities about the authorization of use of force essential they have the right to declare war where does this come from no not i'm afraid this is

a part. and shot across the bow. first of all obama started this war as he went out into the yeah yeah and he participated in saudi arabia never would have launched the war without us permission and help and constant arms supply and refueling in the air and sea for i.s.o. our intelligence special forces on the ground drones everything us has been kneedeep in this they're not just supporting they're an active military participant that was started by obama and no one objected then no one objected to obama's proxy war in syria no one objected to his destruction of libya right now truck comes along continues at this point he's only continued what obama has done and suddenly bernie sanders finds the courage with one another republican mike lee you know to stand forward and say oh we just remembered that we have. congressional powers to declare war over the executive branch it's

a shame you couldn't remember that just last night says he wanted to go there to really they would go there telling the world as they are they have some kind of conscience but it won't have any impact on policy you know or why they suddenly discovered. because the guardian suddenly reported that the soldiers up died getting portable water supplies that to get to schools and sometimes had been diplomatic and they'd been reporting it all just says you know you've been to those who have been on t.v. who pointed to before they got in but before the guy did report that there were no please let there always and i was told that i knew. about russia i called him and our teeth were keeping an eye on their twenty seconds mark you know finish up on human yeah i'm afraid that this resolution isn't going to change anything the war there is a quagmire saudis kneedeep in it yemen it was already the poorest country in the world but saudi arabia one of the world's now highest military spenders armed by the u.s.

and all the other western powers. can't defeat the crown prince is due to be in the united states on the eighteenth i wonder how much how much western media will cover the yemen war when the crown prince is in washington we're going to go to a short break gentlemen after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news stay with. another gun some is not is not a quick place is not a good country and children are just a kid the bush administration they live but some of us well above the scum. of

exist without the message just the other is. just that the culture. of the cult is less sure if. i'm checking into the serious. polling in just a little unbiased from the moment of oneself to be that i'm. mostly out on this fossil. play almost any kind of number for the last ten not a second hour that are john said and i stand on my shoulder as i have no one can i do not do that i would miss the last contact with matter how on amanita. from a shallow tummy and cannot. shoot a fucking on i cannot move he was almost feeling now we're going to fuck and i'm a. good sister to my son and now fargo show you go to sleep i don't want to go to the snooze in the my car boys is a miserable one of the street. that's a cinema large gather you know that a lot of this. is most. welcome

back to crossfire where all things are considered i'm peter l. to remind you we're discussing some real news. ok damien let me go to you as i promised our viewers not only would we keep an eye on yemen but to keep an eye on ukraine because ukraine is going to be very much in the spotlight this year we have. tank missiles being sold to the ukrainians by the americans obviously this is sending sending kind message a number of messages us support of the regime in kiev we killed also. go is shaky ground right now the issues in the dumbass obviously have not been resolved we know that legislation has been passed by the ukrainian parliament that is essentially

made no in void the entire middle process which is not mentioned at all and that's just on the russian language in ukraine that west protests to take in march and we also see that the rush is going to be steadfast in its position will not allow the people of the dumbass to be overrun by military forces ukrainian military is gearing up a number of several outrages events that happened this week around ukraine you're right there american general in yourselves have been supplied to ukraine where when police race to the ground their protest came being near the ukrainian parliament one hundred people were arrested more than in november two thousand and thirteen when just. basically swept out first my dog but at the time going to court you got threats of sanctions. and then take me so what you have to be almost a specialist in eastern european affairs and ukraine even to know what you just

said davis is a gets no coverage when so absolutely but they're also if you are the fact that they just wanted to mention their american negotiate on your grain they suggested to does burnt down your sick people. people's republic he forgot to mention that these entered just would have never sprung up if it hadn't been for the us supported three zero change in ukraine in two thousand and fourteen so it's the same story as in for example syria why is there isis because you support the civil war against ourselves why is the isis in iraq because you have it in two thousand and three or if it could've been for the u.s. invasion in two thousand and three that. stayed in afghanistan and in afghanistan they were because you. support that they're going to if you don't like to mention that mark and i want to talk about it the link is we'll do it later but the iraqi parliament passed a resolution that they want all foreign troops out of their country again hardly

any mention in the media whatsoever let's stay with ukraine and what's going on with oh yes the gambit all right so these weapons we're talking thirty seven launch unit javelin launch units two hundred ten are not going to change the balance of power in don bositis as obama one thing he rightly noted was that if we give weapons to the regime in ukraine that we back well then russia will just give an equivalent to achieve a new parity to the people in the one boss so so what they always have and it's still a vision and it's being mindset and by the trying i mean this is first of all it's a shot domestically against critics that trump isn't hard enough on russia so he's trying to shore up his domestic base all the time with this at the second time the neo cons know that this is a political signal to the kiev regime now the west has been arming the kiev regime all along. since the first happened in two thousand and fourteen but it's usually

been with eastern european weapons left over from. the warsaw pact stuff that the ukrainians actually know how to use right have supplied change logistics and can fix them and so on these weapons are going to change any type of military balance but their political signal to poor shouldn't go that the u.s. has got his back for possible military renewal of military action against own boss and for ripping up the. the minsk agreement which has quietly gone away and it's pretty much been acknowledged that they would lead to the collapse of the putsch regime the to enact it and fulfill the the the political measures of actually sitting down with the leaders of other people and again i think if you take selfies . you take syria and you take ukraine the last thing the west and its allies want is peace go ahead well the problem is that the west has been involved in poroshenko and now is getting dangerous for them he has

a bad gas with russia the so-called stockholm court ruling which forced us to pay two point six billion dollars to ukraine. and absolutely outrageous you know ruling because russia has been supplying these gas you know ukraine has been using it so. that if he doesn't get the money he is going to arrest north stream and stop all supplies or you know i certainly going to make the germans happy ok i mean if the law of unintended consequences and they always have a rule then rule dang germans have no one but themselves to blame for that because germany and france whatever their leaders say they have been supporting this regime all along they helped my down regime to be installed more than doing as you see over the top of my down regime and there's fascists in ukraine it's just russian propaganda except that you might notice that the guardian finally noticed this week that the ukrainian members of the of the bad fascist ease off. but talian

now officiated with with the police as an alternate law enforcement body in the streets of kiev they are now in london white house what are they doing in london well they're recruiting neo nazis on the streets of the u.k. he's weird we're saying where's the antidote when you need. actual fascists so much to cover here gentlemen donald trump says that trade wars are good and you can win them. trade wars. have a long history of ending up in a shooting war and this is something that's very very serious i have to compliment mark the day before interim. was elected in after trump you said that this presidents this president in presidency would destroy relationships with the us europe and other us yeah and trump has already started the trade wars right he's

already put high tariffs on solar power in olds and washing machines from china he's making these moves now he's putting a twenty five percent tariff on steel ten percent on on aluminum and this is ironically not aimed primarily at china china is the biggest supplier of steel in the world and it has excess capacity huge huge capacity it makes as much still basically as the rest of the world put together right and it exports most of it the u.s. is the biggest consumer of steel in the world which it makes a lot of steel but it consumes far more then it builds itself but the u.s. only gets two percent of its steel from china obama already put quotas and restrictions on it can go to china this is a shot not a china this is a shot at canada germany brazil south korea germany these are the big countries that supply steel and aluminum to the united states and

there's so many unintended consequences with this because if he cuts the all in vain effort to try to increase the steel industry in the u.s. it's going to raise consumer prices in the u.s. because now they have to import or buy more expensive so the. other guy who right auto fact where you have. tax return the middle class is going to use that tax return to pay for you to lose far more jobs for manufacturing jobs in the us than you would gain from steel plant the thing is that there's going to be a lot of print tell you ok and once you start this there's no way to know how it's going to end up here what i expect was that reaction of the mainstream press to that you know they have usually is that this is. trump's initiative this is his madness you know the new york times rolled up trump didn't listen to his treasury secretary stephen and just picked up every fight he cooked well i mean how

how different is strong from the previous administration which driven by ideological reasons picked up trade fight with russia i mean can anyone explain to me what is the purpose of all of these sanctions that the united states the e.u. and russia impose on each other and none of them could change the situation it's just beating their chests one thing i think we have to tell our viewers here is that i think a lot of this is the. it's the really the fruition of an entire policy trade policy the united states has had since the end of the second world war it made sweet hard trade deals with a lot of countries because of their geo political strategic value we can mention all of western europe in the in the aftermath of the war japan south korea now these countries are major competitors of the united states here i mean this is the this was an intentional policy to keep them on board in the western camp under the

hedge of monica rule of the united states now it's coming back the last of us are all the way back in britain foundation of the european union steel right all right it's the logical consequences of the construction of a neo liberal economic order to consolidate world behind us opinion except now it's leading to the destruction of a manufacturing production economy in the us in the the siphoning of wealth out of the west is that right you know we're american our allies are the. engineers of economic growth while the united states finds it's relatively impoverished infrastructure this is the logical conclusion of this policy of european allies that i said are actually small game right when it comes to the steel industry right and i think trump has got his eyes set on a trade war with china next week. labeling china a currency manipulator but by picking this fight with the e.u. they're actually fighting over the scraps they're fighting over the scraps of the steel market. for your cause the thought they're thinking about their own defense

or security i think that's actually a good idea because they should they don't need to be subsidized by the american taxpayer anymore we need to do we need to point out however though that the europeans have already put in a lot of measures that subsidize and protect their own domestic steel industries so i'm not sure who really started this chicken before the well a lot of people ask me especially in the ninety's why do we need multiple wall why can't it be just to pull with the united states well that's why you know do you think they would have allowed japan and south korea to develop their own car industries in the sixty's and seventy's if there had been no paul or you know in. no way you know because they able to say this is all. you know column or dos the same thing with europe you was allowed to become rich. for dates in the fifty's because they would not because they were needed because they were very very poor we

have to remember at the end of the second world war the united states was fifty percent of global jepson g.d.p. now it's less than twenty years. trying to place all right keith and around this point gentlemen with this segment and many thanks to my guests here in moscow this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us for the extended version on our you tube channel see you next time and remember stocks rules. jamie diamond no matter how much you try to talk down because no matter how much he tried to. get his buddies in washington to outlaw big guy in it

i mean the fact is he's lost he has lost the battle of big climb he's got it now come crawling back to the market and say you know what the whole banking industry is going to fundamentally change we need to adapt. to everybody i'm stephen bob taft hollywood guy usual suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george bush and r.v.'s to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru and we're just a little bit different i'm honest. no one knows up with all the drama happening in our country i'm shooting road have to meet every day americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people.

it's been almost fifty years since we've had human beings on the surface of another planetary body and i hope that we could actually put together an international lunar exploration initiative much like we have the international space station consortium and together the countries of the world cooperating with the private sector could afford to get back into real space exploration and i think that would that would create a a lot of excitement. join

me every first on the alex salmond szell and i'll be speaking to give us a little bit politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. this baby and. say this on march eighteenth vote with your remote. for special coverage of the russian presidential election exit polls opinions real time results monitoring and much more.

the pentagon holds ground operations against in syria after its key kurdish ally changes focus to battle another u.s. partner in the region turkey also ahead. an israeli soldier is filmed allegedly throwing a stun grenade on a couple carving a baby trying to escape a military operation in the program. germany's equality commissioner calls the country's national anthem sexist saying words like father love need to be ditched for more gender friendly alternatives are to people in berlin what they think about the proposal. at the end of the generation that

grew up with this i don't agree with this i think it's nonsense why not when they think it's ok. live from moscow every hour of the day this is our international my names you know neil welcome to the program our top story the u.s. military household did it's growing operations against islamic state in eastern syria in a statement the pentagon said kurdish forces it box in the area are shifting their focus from fighting terrorists to countering a turkish offensive some forces operating within the us have decided to leave a prey sions in the middle east river valley to fight elsewhere possibly an african the not fights in isis in the move and that basically meant that the not taken to richard barrett from isis is quickly as they had been in the past the syrian

democratic forces mentioned in the pentagon statement are predominantly kurdish militia they have been a key ally of the us in the fight against syria and have enjoyed washington's support. well they have now joined other kurdish militias in an attempt to repel a turkish offensive in the area i'm pro launched its ground operation against the kurdish held town of often turkey considers militias base there as terrorist and ses it launched a campaign to protect its border with more and not here starting the sim your account. according to u.s. officials u.s. backed a ground operations against islamic sing remnants in eastern syria have been put on hold now that's because kurds who had spearheaded combat against extremists have shifted to a separate fight with turkish forces in a free and the kurdish region of free and in northern syria has become a new geo political pivot point in the conflict turkey launched an offensive in

a frame in january to expel syrian kurdish forces which it sees as a terrorist group and as an extension of a kurdish insurgency at home while the parties in the region are trying to figure out what to do exactly the violence in the region continues. for weeks now defense secretary jim matheson other u.s. officials have called turkey's operation a distraction from the isis campaign you know you've got the. distraction of what's going on in africa right now it distracts from international effort to ensure the lasting defeat of isis what is going on in a free and is taking away from the fight against isis it is a distraction as secretary mabus had called it is certainly not helpful however it

seems that for kurdish forces the fighting in a frame is more than just a distraction kurds have been washington's key allies in the fight against iceland one of the most effective forces combat ing extremists in the region the pentagon has already admitted that the potential costs of their destruction from the isis is severe now we just have to wait and see how this will affect the battle against isis in syria and whether or not this will extend u.s. operations in the country dunny will make albums executive director of the rumpole institute thinks relations between the us on the kurds are unlikely to normalize. well that's three months of the old saying it's better to be the enemy than the ally of the united states because if you're the enemy they may try to buy you but if you're the ally they certainly will sell you and that certainly seems like what they're doing with the kurds perhaps the kurds are understanding that they will be sold out they were sold out at rocca as well and they will be sold out in the eastern part of syria where the us is operating and they're coming to the aid of their allies does the us hope that the syrian government gets further drawn in to

the fight with the kurds against the turks then the us can swing back around and help its turkish ally in fighting the syrian government and the kurds as well maybe that's the move that would mean the big question mark is what will russia do in a situation like that talk about a disaster. today marks one hundred days on tel football a showpiece tournament the world cup kicks off right here in russian a total of sixty four matches will take place on twelve either revamped or brand new stadiums across eleven cities. yeah we're getting closer oh wait part of our team dedicated team to world cup coverage this year is month chest united's legendary goalkeeper peter schmeichel

the great dane has been travelling across russia to take in the final preparations . even though i play the world cup myself this is going to be much more exciting for me because obviously it's going to be very basic with work being very close to the actual tournament having done a lot of work on the tournament running into the world cup and then once it starts you know all the emotions of having my country there and my son playing there so really special for me. i think i wish football stadiums for like this when i play i think you'll think it's brilliant assembly and you get an idea about how the atmosphere will be the you know that the crowd is so close to the pitch. and that their role in around the same kind of theme but they're all very different as well variant of it one one looks like a u.f.o. than another one i said the stadium is such it looked like

a cake. you know i've i've been to russia so many times in my life with football last time i was here was ten years ago and i've just seen how changed the country is relax about a lot of things that you read about that it's going to be a danger is now you know russia is all the cities are closed and it's not going to be entertaining. i've been to all the eleven cities yet we will finish or that within the next three weeks. but what i've experience of is the city is a very nice i'm absolutely sure that fifa and the authorities they've got everything under control and so far my experience is that everything has run smoothly and everything is really well organized so my my my advice is to to relax a little bit about the things that we see every day in the western media and then enjoy it well speaking of star signings artsy house also secured the services of perhaps the biggest name in football management the special one himself. for

a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of alternatives but there was one more question and by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the beach but how would you and great britain get you out of the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down there we have to go. alone. and i'm really happy to join the team for the two thousand and thirteen world cup in russia. the special one i was also cliched needs to just take the radio p.r.t. teams latest edition make it up as we go. look. but with our coach confirmed for the world cup we've been hearing the expectations of

those charged with leading their nations to glory this summer and it seems excitement is very much beginning to build. the world cup is just around the corner that's where the team the europa league has shown what our players are capable of our aim is to play our own game and to be competitive our goal is to progress from the group he was in for the first useful if someone is nicer to you with a nice. to go with he won't. use your teacher. or the kids taking part in the twenty eight hundred cups of huge achievement although we're in a very tough group nothing is impossible to progress from the group we have to be in our best in every match that i get a little bit and then i think we'll be trying to make footballing history so the saudi people are proud of us but how far will depend on how well we play.

we have the youngest team of the world cup and we have a lot of enthusiasm we need that. yeah that's the case that's come up. that's the stuff that we know that. will be really strong for you. and it's going to be a tough challenge. or we will be bringing you coverage right throughout the day from the host cities around russia as they mark the final one hundred days until russia takes on saudi arabia in the opening match up. turning attention to the many star where an israeli officer as being caught on

video allegedly throwing a stun grenade at a couple running with an infant. i was i. i was in the video release by is really human rights group we can see a couple running with a baby and it's really soldier is then seen throwing what appears to be a stun grenades which goes off. while the i.d.f. said that dozens of protesters were throwing rocks at officers in the area nuff they did not spot the couple carrying a child it went on to say that if they would have noticed the baby they would have acted accordingly well the rights group which released the video that we spoke to say violence by israelis against palestinians is an unfortunate reality of occupation and not much is done to prevent it the reality of the occupation the israeli occupation over the palestinians this incident as well as the many many

others in recent weeks we've seen in this collision of violence by israelis citizens. towards palestinians the system of civilians who are not citizens despite these many many incidents. public awareness is still low and more importantly the military is failing to provide provide. these palestinians the security required we're seeing that many many of the violence of settlers and military personnel starts palestinians go without any trials without any investigations or with suggestions and many of them closed down due to lack of the police failure to investigate as they should and this is the case and this is the reality that we're in. germany's national anthem could be in line for a gender friendly mic over a lead letter written by the country's equality commissioner asked for the words

fatherland and brotherly to be removed our europe correspondent peter oliver has more. it's one of the most recognizable national anthems in the world. but there are plans afoot to make changes to the woods of the lead in an attempt to make it more gender inclusive now this is being put forward by the country's equal opportunities the plan put forward by kristin rose mourning would see the phrase full of the land swap for homeland on the line of brotherly with hearts in hand changed to courageously with hossa and hand it wouldn't be the first time that the german anthem which has been used since one thousand nine hundred twenty two it caused trouble after world war two the first verse in its opening lines.

but alice soul germany germany above all else caused problems then as well the words themselves were written back in the nineteenth century about german unification however the nazis made them their own. in the in. the in. the end after reunification in one thousand nine hundred one germany adopted the third to the us as its national anthem the first verse isn't to be sung but people still to forget like earlier this year at a fed cup tennis much in the united states which on good play is in funds alike. the use. was. and back in two thousand and nine british musician pete doherty incurred the wrath

of a german audience after he sung the first for. during a life performance. was. perhaps the time is right to update the anthem we spoke to some people on the streets of berlin that's what they thought. i didn't know i'm undecided i belong to the generation that grew up with this i think is good as it is. thinks is all these it is i think it's fine the way it is. i don't agree with this i think it's nonsense why should we do this just to make one group without the words isn't an option either. of the song without it it would only be half of what i do an awful lot is me i honestly don't care. because of why not i think it's ok the

word fatherland has some negative connotations and he somewhat right wing as far as i'm concerned the feels like a negative sort of patriotism it would be better if it was more neutral peter all of a. two people are in a critical condition after being exposed to substances in the u.k. one of them believed to be a former russian intelligence officer was convicted of spying for britain more than a decade ago in london with the latest this are easily. u.k. police reporting that a man and a lady have been found on a bench in a shopping center in wiltshire that's around one hundred miles or so away from the capital here in london now the police haven't named who the gentleman is but the media here the b.b.c. and sky in particular saying that their sources are telling them that the gentleman

is script he's sixty six years old he's a former colonel for the rushes russia's military intelligence and he was convicted for handing over secrets to the my six agency britain's foreign intelligence agency and in two thousand and six he was sentenced to thirteen years in prison but in two thousand and ten he was part of a prisoner swap the so-called under chapman prisoner swap and so he's been living in the united kingdom since then and so it's according to the b.b.c. and sky that this gentleman is the one who's been found ill now the police also as well as not naming who the person is they've also not said anything about what the substance is at this stage however that hasn't stopped the media here from drawing parallels with the case of alexander litvinenko who was poisoned in london in two thousand and six is certain scruple was poisoned it will never really do questions

about kremlin involvement given that russian defector alexander litvinenko was murdered in two thousand and six using radioactive polonium if you recall back to two thousand and six that was when a man named. alexander litvinenko was poisoned and died a slow horrible death immediately people's minds go back to alexander litvinenko and polonium two ten and everything similarities will be drawn with that case which an inquest found led directly to the kremlin and this one in salzburg of course it's very tempting scene is anything see it russia now in this current sort of russia case environment and suddenly oh let's have a case where we complained the russians for. thing in exile something but bear in mind this guy was swapped for the ten russian illegals alleged russian illegals who were swapped out for america in two thousand and ten for four convicted spies in russia so the russians would not have handed over this guy back to the west if they still felt he could have caused damage so there seems to be little motivation to do

anything against him. well despite the media speculation sources in the u.k. emergency services have been quoted as saying the former spy may have suffered a prescription drug overdose his symptoms are poor and please point to the use of a powerful painkiller cough until it's reportedly fifty to one hundred times stronger than morphine and has a similar influence on the body or doses cause the least sixty deaths in the u.k. in twenty seventy former m i five officer i mean again give us her views on the case this might just be some sort of drug instant there have been numerous stories over the last couple of years in the u.k. or the spread of synthetic kind of annoyed called spice which seems to create the same sort of symptoms that were reported in this case people who. dissipated because they've been involved in a spy swap for example their lives are forever changed there's a long history of people in that situation self medicating with substances this

happened they were taken to hospital they were identified their names were fed into the system and as soon as there their names are fed into the system there's some alert around the fact that this guy had indeed been involved in the spy swap in twenty ten suddenly became much more much more news worthy and i think this is where this story is built from. protesters have rampage through the streets of florence and clashed with riot police following the result of italy's general election which left the country with a hung parliament. well the violence started after a vendor of african origin was killed sunday's election results saw a surge in popularity for migrant and establishment parties especially the five

star movement which won the majority of votes to become the single biggest party then league party they finished second on the similar policies to five star refugees both leaders have expressed their willingness to become the country's next prime minister. said it up but it's in the fact to be representatives from the entire nations reject this inevitably to manage to government of a country we feel the responsibility to give you to lead government. in europe it is also we are now under obligation to form a center right coalition we have a right and a duty to rule in the coming years. well what we know is that all the parties failed to gain the required majority of seats in parliament to govern alone and as they jostle to form a coalition it has left a question mark over who will actually be the next prime minister what is known as well is that italy has gone heavily against the established parties in the hope of

change. this county over more problems and the last. people say in establishment in italy is very bad may be a lot of people like me here hope that something something changed because with the old system more think we are going back and back and back the timid reforms introduced by the outgoing government led by the democratic party may have led to some improvement in italy's microcosmic data but these are not translated into detectable. improvements in the conditions of already are entirely ns and basically debts compounded by a long standing problem such as. high unemployment rates massive youth unemployment rates basically led many voters to turn to the

parties like the five star movement out of desperation and they may have tried. other parties in the past not in else has worked. in some parts of the contrie specially they felt that this was a last resort. north and south korea may be on course for better relations with envoys from both countries meeting on monday but it seems not everyone is on board with having warmer ties with pyongyang. picks up the story the winter olympic games have seen an unprecedented thaw in relations between north and south korea and now that the games are over the two countries have not given up on their road to better relations at this point south korean envoys are meeting with kim jong un for the first time in more than a decade you won't hear any celebrating in the u.s. though take donald trump's tough talk as far as the risk of dealing with a madman is concerned that's his problem not mine while warhawk neo cons talk about

a military solution all the damage that would come from the war would be worth shit in terms of long term stability and national security to be fair u.s. leaders did pause their rehearsal for all out war during the olympic games but almost as soon as the closing ceremonies were over the tanks and planes were out once again and they were rehearsing for mass death new york times reports that a classified u.s. military exercise examined the number of u.s. troops that would be involved in a potential conflict on the korean peninsula according to their estimate roughly ten thousand u.s. soldiers would be wounded in just the first few days of the new korean war the brutality of this war will be beyond the experience of any living soldier in the north and south korea may be tentatively moving forward but the reluctant united states will only sit down with conditions trump says that a meeting can only be arranged via beijing if the north will give up their nuclear weapons that according to pyongyang is

a ridiculous and preposterous demand we've waited so long for this to come up there's no leadership and solve korea. that is recognizing that this has gone on for far too long and this leadership under president moon who is a progressive lawyer he knows what dialogue can do and has seen how it can get interrupted by one side or another wanting to engage in this ongoing type of tug of war the united states has not necessarily had an interest for peace in korea really. it doesn't seem like the leadership wants to create a real atmosphere for peace that brings us back to the beginning full circle to the vitriolic war of words which is not exactly been helpful in previous years able to mop and artsy new york now i bruce lee may have died forty five years ago this year but his spirit most certainly is living on in one of the world's most troubled

jamie dollar in the matter how much you try to talk down because i know matter how much she tried to. get his buddies in washington and out. our best guy maybe in the fact this is last year's last the battle of big guy these guys now come crawling back to the market and say you know what the whole banking industry has been fundamentally changed we need to adapt. he says you need. a church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally had to call this the

geographic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest whose is a perfect truth is simply moved him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice to us and to that end as old as the eye and then i can flip out at tuesday's out in the. case first is true. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last abang turn. you're at it up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for the echo 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 are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and basically promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one quite different. speech you just never know whether to. make. a. minus.

a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that it has not been as the i intend to include. his faith.

the pentagon holds ground operations against in syria after its key ally changes focus to other us partner in the region turkey. a former russian colonel who spied for britain is allegedly poisoned in the u.k. sparking media speculation of a russian link despite no details or comments from the police also in the program. and it's really. soldier is for throwing a stun grenade out a couple carrying a baby trying to escape a military operation. just

gone nine am this tuesday morning here in the russian capital wherever you are joining us from right around the world welcome to our to international my names in owning our top story the u.s. military household did its growing drop or a shins against islamic state in eastern syria in a statement the pentagon said kurdish forces it bucks in the area are shifting their focus from fighting terrorists to country a turkish offensive some fighters operating within the s.d.s. have decided to leave a prey sions in the middle east river valley to fight elsewhere possibly in akron the not fights in isis anymore and that basically meant that the not taking territory back from isis is quickly as they had been in the past the syrian democratic forces mentioned in the pentagon's statement are predominantly kurdish militia they have been a key ally of the u.s. in the fight against iceland syria and have enjoyed washington support. join the fighting now and a friend were and crow launched

a grind offensive against kurdish forces in january turkey considers militias based there as terrorists and say it launched the campaign to protect its border with more this hour here's some your account. according to u.s. officials u.s. backed a ground operations against islamic sing remnants in eastern syria have been put on hold now that's because kurds who had spearheaded combat against extremists have shifted to a separate fight with turkish forces in a free for the kurdish region of free and in northern syria has become a new geo political pivot point in the conflict turkey launched an offensive in a frame in january to expel syrian kurdish forces which it sees as a terrorist group and as an extension of a kurdish insurgency at home while the parties in the region are trying to figure out what to do exactly the violence in the region continues.

for weeks now defense secretary jim matheson other u.s. officials have called turkey's operation a distraction from the isis campaign you know you've got the. distraction of what's going on up in africa right now it distracts from international effort to ensure the lasting defeat of isis what is going on in a free and is taking away from the fight against isis it is a distraction as secretary mabus had called it is certainly not helpful however it seems that for kurdish forces the fighting in a frame is more than just a distraction perth's have been washington's key allies in the fight against iceland one of the most effective forces combat ing extremists in the region the pentagon has already admitted that the potential costs of their destruction from the isis is severe now we just have to wait and see how this will affect the battle against isis in syria and whether or not this will extend u.s.

operations in the country down the olmec is executive director at the rumpole institute thinks relations between the u.s. and the kurds are on likely to normalize well it's three months of the old saying it's better to be the end. me than the ally of the united states because if you're the enemy they may try to buy you but if you're the ally they certainly will sell you and that certainly seems like what they're doing with the kurds perhaps the kurds are understanding that they will be sold out they were sold out in iraq as well and they will be sold out in the eastern part of syria where the us is operating and they're coming to the aid of their allies dizzee us hope that the syrian government gets further drawn in to the fight with the kurds against the turks then the us can swing back around and help its turkish ally in fighting the syrian government and the kurds as well maybe that's the move that would mean the big question mark is what will russia do in a situation like that talk about a disaster. two people are in critical condition after being

exposed to unknown substances in the u.k. one of them is believed to be a former russian colonel who spied for britain the alleged victim serving schiphol is retired from the russian military intelligence services in two thousand and six he was passing the identities of russian secret agents in europe to the u.k. schiphol was sentenced to thirteen years in prison but in two thousand and ten he was released as part of a high profile spy swap with the u.s. on was flown to britain. however comparisons are already being drawn with former russian spy alexander litvinenko who died in london back in two thousand and six poisoned with a radioactive substance his death was later blamed on moscow. if you recall back to two thousand and six that was when a man named. alexander litvinenko was poisoned and died a slow horrible death is circa st paul was poisoned it will never really do

questions about kremlin involvement given that russian defector alexander litvinenko was murdered in two thousand and six using radioactive polonium so it's according to the b.b.c. and sky that this gentleman is the one who's been found ill now the police also as well is not naming who the person is they've also not said anything about what the substance is at this stage however that hasn't stopped the media here from drawing parallels with the case of alexander litvinenko who was poisoned in london in two thousand and six but again it's key to point out that the police haven't named either who the man is the what the substance is involved so at the moment anyway the media seem to be jumping to conclusions in drawing those power else once you put the word russian in front of somebody who's ill taken hospital the hospital. cleared out some people are declared declared that no one could enter the area

suspect and what do you read into that you read that it's a radioactive substance is something which is very dangerous and then you say well which country would have the facilities to produce that of. the british authorities blamed the murder. go on the f.s.b. eventually back to vladimir putin and they'll just go on speculating it's too good it's too juicy it's too good to let go. well despite the media speculation sources in the u.k. emergency services are being quoted as saying the former spy may have suffered a prescription drug overdose his symptoms apparently point to the use of a powerful painkiller cough ental it is reportedly fifty to one hundred times stronger than morphine and has a similar influence on the body overdoses caused at least sixty deaths in the u.k. in twenty seventeen former m i five officer i mean the shot again gave us her view on the case this might just be some sort of drug instant there have been numerous

stories over the last couple of years in the u.k. for the spread of. synthetic kind of annoyed called spice which seems to create the same sort of sentence that reported in this case people who. dissipated because they've been involved in a spy swap for example their lives are forever changed there's a long history of people in that situation self medicating with substances this happened they were taken to hospital they were identified their names were fed into the system and assume is there their names of fed into the system there's some alert around the fact that this guy has indeed been involved in the spy swap in twenty ten suddenly became much more much more news worthy and i think this is where the story is built from. turning attention to the middle east war is really officer as being caught on video throwing a stun grenade of a couple running with an infant. i

i i. i in the video released by his really human rights group we can see a palestinian couple running with a baby and it's really sort of then throws what appears to be a stone grit it goes off right behind the family that was reportedly trying to. well the i.d.f. responded by seeing dozens of protesters were throwing rocks at troops in the area did not spot that the couple were carrying a child it went on to say that if he had noticed the baby they would have acted accordingly the rights group which released the video violence by israelis against palestinians is an unfortunate reality of occupation and little is done to prevent it. the reality of the occupation the israeli occupation over the palestinians this incident as well as the many many others in recent weeks we've seen in the violence by israeli citizens. towards palestinians civilians who are not citizens

despite these many many incidents. public awareness is still low and more importantly the military is failing to provide provide. the security required we're seeing that many many of the violence of settlers and military personnel. go without any trials without any investigations or with food investigations and many of them closed down due to lack of the police failure to investigate as they should and this is the case and this is the reality that we're in. switching gears now and we have reached the one hundred day mark before football's showpiece tournament that world cup kicking off in russia and a total of sixty four matches will take place twelve either revamped or brand new

stadiums across eleven cities. well part of our tease dedicated team to world cup coverage this year is monk chest united's legendary goalkeeper peter smikle the great dane has been traveling across russia to take in the final preparations. even though i play the world cup myself this is going to be much more exciting for me because obviously it's going to be very basic with work being very close to the actual tournament having done a lot of work on the tournament running into the world cup and then once it starts you know all the emotions of having my country there and my son playing there so really special for me. i think i wish football stadiums for like this when i play i think you'll think it's brilliant assembly and you get an idea about how the

atmosphere will be the you know that the crowd is so close to the pitch. and that their role in around the same kind of theme but they're all very different as well variant of it one one looks like a u.f.o. than another one i said the stadium is such it looked like a cake. you know i've i've been to russia so many times in my life with football last time i was here was ten years ago and i've just seen how changed the country is relax about a lot of things that you read about that it's going to be a danger is now you know russia is all the cities are closed and it's not going to be entertaining. i've been to all the eleven cities yet we will finish or that within the next three weeks. but what i've experience of is the city is a very nice i'm absolutely sure that fifa and the authorities they've got everything under control and so far my experience is that everything has run

smoothly and everything is really well organized so my my my advice is to to relax a little bit about the things of that we see every day in the western media and then enjoyed talking of star signings our team this transfer window to secure one of the biggest names in football on one of the most decorated coaches of the modern game. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest gold people . but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the beach but how would you go all the great the great the good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down there we have to go. alone. and i'm really happy to join the team for the two thousand and thirteen

world cup in russia. this special one come on both appreciate me to just say the radio team's latest edition to make up as we go. to look. well with our teams coach confirmed for the world cup finals we've been hearing the expectations of those charged with leading their nations to glory this summer and excitement is clearly beginning to build. most you've got the world cup is just around the corner that's what the team the europa league has shown what our players are capable of our aim is to play our own game and to be competitive our goal is to progress from the group it was before the fourth we still had some work is nice if you will embrace it like it is to go with the loans and use your teaching. the

kids in the taking part in the twenty two cups a huge achievement although we're in a very tough group nothing is impossible to progress from the group we have to be at our best in every match played i get a little bit in them i think will be trying to make footballing history so the saudi people are proud of us but how far will depend on how well we play. we have the youngest team of the world cup and we have a lot of enthusiasm we need that. out explication the best from a book. that's the stuff that we know that. the world is really strong with three majors and it's going to be a tough challenge. well we will have coverage right throughout the day from some of the world cup host cities as they mark one hundred days until russia takes on saudi

arabia in the opening match plus germany's national anthem is caught up in a sexist we asked people in berlin what they think about removing words like fatherland i'll be back with that story and more after a short break. if you knew. what.

they. said. let me know. that. you speak french. your back with r t international germany's national anthem could be in line for a gender friendly make over a week letter written by the country's equality commissioner us for the words fatherland unbrotherly to be removed our europe correspondent peter all over the deeper. it's one of the most recognizable national anthems in the world.

but there are plans afoot to make changes to the woods of the lead in an attempt to make it more gender inclusive now this is being put forward by the country's equal opportunities the plan put forward by kristin rose morning would see the phrase full of the land swapped for homeland on the line of brotherly with hot in hand changed to courageously with hossa and hand it wouldn't be the first time that the german anthem which has been used since one thousand nine hundred twenty two it caused trouble after world war two the first verse in its opening lines. alice soul germany germany above all else caused problems then as well the words themselves were written back in the nineteenth century about german unification

however the nazis made them their own. after reunification in one thousand nine hundred one germany adopted the third verse as its national anthem the first verse isn't to be sung but people still to forget like earlier this year at a fed cup tennis much in the united states which on good play is in funds a like. the louis. louis was. and back in two thousand and nine british musician pete daugherty incurred the wrath of a german audience after he sung the first for. during a life performance. was.

perhaps the time is right to update the anthem we spoke to some people on the streets of berlin that's what they thought. i didn't know i'm undecided i belong to the generation that grew out with this i think is gorgeous i just. think this is all these it is i think it's fine the way it is. i don't agree with this i think it's nonsense why should we do this just to make one group. in an option either. of the song without it it would only be half of what i do and often well just me i honestly don't care. why not i think it's ok the word fatherland has some negative connotations and he somewhat right wing as far as i'm concerned the feels like a negative sort of patriotism that it would be better if it was more neutral peter

all of the. migrants have rampaged through the streets of florence following the result of italy's general election which left the country with a hung parliament the violence started after a vendor of african origin was killed. well sunday's election results saw a surge in popularity for umpteen migrants an anti establishment parties especially the five star movement which won the majority of votes to become the single biggest party the league finish second and other similar policies to five star on refugees

both leaders have expressed their willingness to become the country's next prime ministers in fact that yes it up but it's in the fact of be representatives from the entire nations project is inevitably to urge the government of the country we feel the responsibility to give to lead government. but it is also we are now under obligation to form a center right coalition we have a right and a duty to rule in the coming years. while all parties feel to gain the required majority of seats in parliament to govern alone and as they jostle to form a coalition it's left a question mark over who will actually be the next prime minister what is known is that it really has turned heavily against the stop list parties. discounted ever more problems and the last. people a. mint in italy is very bad may be a lot of people like me here hope that something something changes because with the

old system more think we are going back and back and back the timid reforms introduced by the outgoing government led by the democratic party may have led to some improvement in italy's microcode data but these are not translated into the tech bubble. improvements in conditions of already our intelligence and basically that compounded by a long standing problem such as. high unemployment rates massive youth unemployment rates basically led many valter to turn to basically the parties like the five star movement out of desperation and they may have tried. other parties in the past not enough has worked in some parts of the country especially there that this was a last resort. to asia where north korea may be on course for better

relations with envoys from both countries meeting on monday but it seems that not everyone is on board with having warmer ties with pyongyang from new york kill a bargain picks up the story. the winter olympic games have seen an unprecedented thaw in relations between north and south korea and now that the games are over the two countries have not given up on their road to better relations at this point south korean envoys are meeting with kim jong un for the first time in more than a decade you won't hear any celebrating in the u.s. though take donald trump's tough talk as far as the risk of dealing with a madman is concerned that's his problem not mine while warhawk neo cons talk about a military solution all the damage that would come from the war would be worth shit in terms of long term stability and national security to be fair u.s. leaders did pause their rehearsal for all out war during the olympic games but almost as soon as the closing ceremonies were over the tanks and planes were out

once again and they were rehearsing for mass death new york times reports that a classified u.s. military exercise examined the number of u.s. troops that would be involved in a potential conflict on the korean peninsula according to their estimate roughly ten thousand u.s. soldiers would be wounded in just the first few days of the new korean war the brutality of this war will be beyond the experience of any living soldier in the north and south korea may be tentatively moving forward but the reluctant united states will only sit down with conditions trump says that a meeting can only be arranged via beijing if the north will give up their nuclear weapons that according to pianka yang is a ridiculous and preposterous demand we've waited so long for this to come up there's no leadership in south korea that is recognizing that this has gone on for far too long and this leadership under president moon who is a progressive lawyer he knows what dialogue can do and has seen how it can get

interrupted by one side or another wanting to engage in this ongoing type of tug of war at the. united states has not necessarily had an interest for peace in korea really. it doesn't seem like the leadership wants to create a real atmosphere for peace that brings us back to the beginning full circle to the vitriolic war of words which is not exactly been helpful in previous years cable mup and r.t. new york this is our team or programs right ahead. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or

rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. some want to be rich. but you're going to be close it's like the full story of the people. i'm interested always in the ones about how. best to. apply to many flips over the years so i know the game and 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 superman each of. us and spending to the twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else not to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game the greats of what paul chance with. and thinks it's going to.

on. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. and to be clear that's right here we're pretty far from the white house maybe too close i'm barred shelton coming up scientific american has a cover story about the future of money and we are fortunate to have an author with us alexander lipton from the massachusetts institute of technology joins us to talk about crypto mining and the future of money and actually banks looks at the global market reaction to president strong statements about it closing steel and aluminum import tariff which seem to be the starting sellable as of

a global trade war and melissa on all of the stocks so she sits down with us to talk markets and stocks plus before we go as a former steelworker myself who would have thought i have a few thoughts about what's been going on all of this by the way coming up soon but first really get some headlines. at talian voters gave a large majority to populist outsiders and the right wing in sunday's parliamentary elections the five star movement won thirty two percent of the vote the largest vote for the a single party and the northern far right league one thousand percent outpolling their center right coalition partners for a telia led by former prime minister silvio bristlecone by six points the winning parties have a fairly anti immigrant stance and some say they are european union hostile which raises concerns about the future as the e.u.

deals with things like the united kingdom leaving the e.u. . and related election news germany's social demick. kratz the s.p.d. have voted to approve a coalition with conservative chancellor angela merkel of the christian democrats the vote among s.p.d. members was two to one in favor with a very high turnout the s.p.d. decision to enter another call issued however hands the position of official opposition to the to the neo fascist alternative for germany as in italy the dynamic weakened the establishment parties who are attempting to hold off rightwing outsiders who seem to be taking some hold. and computer hacks of crypto currency exchanges already this year have seen investors losing more money since the big time back in two thousand and fourteen when the largest exchange mt gox in japan so roughly four hundred seventy five million dollars drain from accounts before they filed for bankruptcy so far this year investors have lost more than

seven hundred million dollars from two exchanges bit grayle based in florence italy and coin check based in japan the losses exemplify that investors can lose all of their invested money in exchanges without appropriate security the two hacks represent a continuing obstacle to gaining more mainstream acceptance of digital currencies. and now in that same regard we move on to the crypto as we've all heard that actual mining of bitcoin another crypto currencies takes a lot of energy but why how much energy does it take as we've discussed covering money systems in the past that's also a big question what does the future of money look like well today we're very fortunate to have someone who has worked on these important questions and written about them in the recent scientific american alexander lipton alexander welcome

let's start with the energy used to confirm crypto transactions on the block chain the used to be decentralized they took place all over the world but that's not happening as much right now when we see these bit coin and other cryptocurrency mining operations explain what that's all about. ok hello thank you very much for inviting me for this interesting program and indeed we have observed that. you know with the growing popularity of bit coin tearoom and other crypto currencies the requisite. mining expenditures grew from nomic clearly and in many instances you know people some of the people some of the observers think that the mining will be to coin for example consumes as much

energy as the republic of ireland or the kingdom of denmark which obviously is very disconcerting given that the. transaction volume for bit coin and other cryptic currencies in spite of the very high price is actually quite small in fact to be to coin from no more than seven transactions per second and then reality probably close to five and maybe. maybe ten to fifteen that sort of thing and the idea is that in the decentralized system somebody needs to maintain its integrity by showing interest in maintaining this integrity by simply burdening electricity and purchasing specialized equipment in actual fact between mining does not require any special knowledge of mathematics or anything like that it's just a matter of purchasing specialized computers and burning elec tricity and this is one way or maintaining integrity but it's extremely inefficient by

design and hans the idea is there too you can are have decentralized system but then the. integrity is maintained through the proof or work as you said correct. of the situation is that as any other industry the mining industry in between if you call it this way actually observed the extreme concentration of miners so until recently the main mining activity were performed in china and now when the chinese government took a negative stance toward this activity is the miners kind of spread around the world looking for the next home you know the province of quebec and canada is often cited as a possible home for crypt a mining activity as well as iceland but none of those countries are particularly

keen on actually welcoming this miners because they don't want to really add anything to the economy first set this is about me start interrupt let me ask you this who are these folks that are you know going ahead and setting up these centralized mining operations are they companies that have as their sole mission to be crypto mining entities in and what size are they what i mean are they taking up you know big large auditoriums are they in warehouses how many people are they employing. ok this is these are all a very interesting question they employ very few people because as i said the actual industry is extremely efficient in this regard so basically you should think about food ball fields cover deal with this application specific. computers and then very few people actually maintaining the integrity of the every

single computer is very cheap and is designed for of one special purpose or for example it was b. to corn in actually calculating hush functions and things of that nature and you know but the but the actual the amount of equipment is mind boggling so think of football fields fifield with this rigs but there are a number of people who are very is that there isn't are they who is that on owns these things are these digital enthusiasm to have the idea that they should mind because it really is and will get into this in a minute so i want to personally alexander who the folks are but it really does get away from the original idea of the centroids nodes or confirming the chain operations but who is it first of all that's doing a well either absolutely right this is a this is a strong deviation from the original ethos of the community right

so people who do this are you know industrial conglomerates in that sense because the expenditure on equipment alone rather than the hundreds of millions of not billions of dollars and then basically what else is happening their individual miners even the very big ones tend to assume accumulate into large pools so basically what we're observing right now that maybe five or six a large as poor as the provide may be fifty. plus percent of the entire haas sing. sing ability of the system of the whole so the idea is that you as an individual can in any between all is a complete fall a sees this is not possible it's pretty much the same as saying that you can build an airplane so maybe you can but you know i would not fly this

airplane if you know what happened so let me ask you so we agree obviously with that this is different than originally intended that it wasn't decentralized so if if there is what how we go forward is that these operations these mining operations are all in one poised doesn't that lend itself to stuff i used to worry about as a regulator that somebody could perhaps manipulate the markets that if they control all of the conference why couldn't they go ahead and roil markets around or have they been doing that what are your thoughts alexander these are very relevant questions and then the fact it is entirely possible that markets can be manipulated and subverted yvan the only saving grace here is that even if you were to do this as a minor you are unable to actually access other people's beat coins or

tears but what you can potentially do is to have a double spend so in other words those then the coins to you and then send the same beat coins to me and you know that would be a potential outcomes but let me let me ask you i mean that. to me that is a you are on to such a huge thing and those of our viewers who have not read the scientific american article or courage to do so it's fascinating and alexander we'd love to have you back when we have some more time to talk. but how do we combat some of these things going forward because you are really one of the thought leaders in the world on this and we thank you so much for being with us alexander lipton the c.e.o. of stronghold bank labs and the connection science fellow at the massachusetts institute of technology thanks for your important work alexander and thanks for helping us to better understand these complex issues thank you very much it was

a pleasure. and time now for a brief pause but stick with us because when we get back ashley banks looks at new global market reaction to steal an aluminum tariffs and melissa are mo when i sit down to talk about markets and stocks and then you'll get my old steelworkers perspective as we go to break here are the numbers at the closing bell green arrows for stocks such off the books. hey everybody i'm stephen both. task hollywood guy you know suspects every proud american first of all i'm just george washington and honored to say this is my buddy max famous financial guru just a little bit different i'm not. going to try not to run your windows up with all

the drama happening in our country i'm shooting the brood have some fun meet everyday americans. and hopefully start to bridge the gap this is the great american people which. will come twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers available to us but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. you guys i know you on the us he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure come out you have to the center of the problem here with you and we will show the great game the grid get you out of the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. a low

as i want to and i'm really happy to join. for the two thousand and ten world cup in russia meet the special one come on south appreciated me just like the review team so they just addition make it up as we go so i need to just look at. 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 alone higher education is becoming just another product that can be born and sold but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you could in the models of. the dream that they could then. want is the place of students in this business model before college i was born now and i'm extremely bored education the new global economic

war. twenty thousand west virginia teachers are on strike for an eighth day last week rank and file teachers rejected an initial agreement that union leaders had reached with the governor because a proposed five percent raise would not have covered future increases in health care costs over the weekend state legislators balked at funding the five percent raise increases in health care costs could be roughly three hundred dollars per month while the suggested raise could amount to roughly seven hundred dollars per year west virginia writes forty eight among the states for teacher pay and other labor news fourteen hundred workers in west virginia and virginia represented by the communication workers of america as all as awful go on strike and meanwhile forty one thousand teachers an oklahoma another state hostile to unions approved

plans for a statewide walkout that could happen as early as april second. we've been tracking the story of increasing consumer debt recently and now it seems to be impacting one more stakeholder small banks federal reserve data shows that eighty percent of credit card balances that are considered to be in default after persistent failure to pay the charge off rate increase to seven point two percent in the fourth quarter of twenty seventeen a year earlier that rate was four point five percent however the charge off rate for smaller banks those with assets of less than ten billion bucks in the fourth quarter was nearly seven point two percent more than double the three point five percent rate among bigger banks this is a better outcome for these smaller banks after they successfully fought in recent years to grab a bigger share of this category of debt. president trump's announcement related to stiff tariffs on imported steel and aluminum may have a negative economic consequence for u.s. companies and consumers many also worry about the impending trade war here on

markets and stocks are to correspondent ashley banks that's right bar now interim proposes a ten percent tax on all aluminum and pork to the thirty five percent tariff on steel if he follows through many consumers could see prices go up on everything from cars to beer experts warn these tariffs could lead to trade wars and on friday president trump tweeted trade wars are good and easy when many economists disagree with the president saying trade wars will hurt economic expansion and then poignant and the u.s. experts say any uncertainty can lead to companies curtailing investments or place a hold on hiring peter petrie an economist and trade expert says quote and history is that by steel and aluminum not to mention agricultural exports employ many times more people than the ndaa story is that the president wants to protect but that's not the worst part key allies of the u.s.

the european union and canada have already pledged to retaliate if true. follows through experts believe they would use tools to strike certain industries or take their concerns to the world trade organization and or national trade experts say they expect trump's terrorist decision will make it easier for other countries to pursue test for tat terrorists the european union has already said it will have back with tariffs on american made motorcycles bourbon and denim jeans right after trump made his announcement on imposing terrorists u.s. stocks fell sharply the dow as and p. five hundred and the nasdaq were down more than one percent drums announcement also rock stocks around the globe nikkei in h.s. i saw a sharp decline while shanghai dax cac in the financial times stock exchange saw gains when it comes to steel and aluminum stuff g.m. ford boeing coca-cola molson coors and a couple of others fall as sharp decline and stocks well

a case still holding us fields still dynamics and a few others so significant gains overall the us market dropped and experts say of trends tariffs are imposed they could increase not only important fuel prices but also domestic fuel prices which will place american companies at a competitive disadvantage with their non-u.s. competitors from says nafta which is now under negotiation is a bad deal for the u.s. the nation's companies and shops and the tweet from stated he may lift the new steel an aluminum terrible put in place as nafta is a renegotiated to terms more favorable to the us bart thank you actually. and today we spend some time talking about markets that we always talk about but

it's particularly important given the february we had and we'll talk about food some specific stock as a result of some of the actions regarding the florida school shooting that killed seventeen people and what some companies that are publicly traded how their stock is being impacted and to do that we're joined by melissa arm of the stocks melissa thank you for being here it's a pleasure to be with you live so it is quite a february wasn't it yeah it was a little unexpected because we started about two thousand eight hundred so strong we carry through all two thousand and seventeen after the election we are bullish we are pirates running out two thousand and eighteen we made record highs day after day it seemed like in the february we dropped off although i would tell you the market is still in a strong strong uptrend despite the drop off in february i don't think there's any reason to really panic when you know i we saw last week with the steel import quotas where the markets took a big big tumble on thursday and we've seen some other volatile stuff in the

markets happening but any piece of economic information that comes out any data points and i know you're particularly concerned about sort of the debt numbers that have been out there lately they can have an impact on markets but you're also concerned about debt in general having a longer term impact on the economy well i think so and that's one of the reasons why the markets fell because the fed guy was talking the fed chairman every time he talks or any time any number comes out it could possibly spook the market it may be something that happens temporary or it may have a longer term effect on the market for a couple weeks out we don't know what happened you know. it's almost like when we were on a high like a money high from the markets that everybody was really jittery when it is the. you know ones of all of philippi going to impact the markets and it really didn't take much it was those up january job numbers and maybe the increase in the wage growth and i'm not sure that was it or not but it happened to be the day after that for

the job reporting friday but continue on about debt and your concern about the economy well the thing is that people are one of the reasons i think the market fell off and said we worry is because people are concerned that they're going to raise interest rates as here with a switch they talked about doing they're going to they're going to raise interest rates later as well are they going to raise. money are they going to raise and three times four times nobody knows what she do you know that they're going to raise and so my best advice to people is if you're applying for a mortgage and you can lock in your interest rate lock it down if you have a home equity line of credit that's you know not have a secured rate if it's a variable rate try to see if you can do a home equity loan to lock it down lock in your interest rate but the problem i think for people is going to be the credit cards because most all credit cards are affected because interest when interest rates rise a quarter point and then all of a sudden it's four four it rises and it could be one point and a lot of people have credit card debt in fact last year there was

a report the credit card debt as an all time high it's close to one trillion which is an astronomical number so with people carrying debt like that and it's a barrel range their payments are going to go up and even though we have the tax savings and that's terrific and even though more people are employed and that's terrific too if people see their monthly payments going up up up that that may concern people and obviously don't want people to fall on their own secured debt you know we reported i think last thursday about the. largest but i don't want to say the wrong thing but i think it was the largest default rates on mortgages for homeowners maybe six seven years and so you're absolutely right it's good. advice for our viewers you know if there's a way to lock in your rates whether or not it's a refund or the variable rate as you say probably a good thing for people to consider given their own personal financial situation

everything you always want to provide these copyrights but melissa let's talk a little bit about some of these companies and the stocks related to them a dick's sporting goods and wal-mart which are not going to sell a certain firearms are certainly not going to sell to anybody under the age of twenty one there's some of the airlines united delta delta is in a world of conflict because they've got some republican folks who are running for office down in georgia wanting to say they're not going to provide favorable tax treatment to delta in the georgia legislature there's united i said united but there's also the car companies the rental car companies how are these stocks being impacted it's probably too early to say what your thoughts well i mean overall i would say the airlines the general sector the airline sector is pretty strong i don't really see that much of a reaction after the stuff that happened with the delta news but i would try i find it interesting that that would they that would even take the position as far as the

land up because what that what the airline because i don't know why the n.r.a. was getting discounts anyway so it really that was very preferential for them to get those discounts if fairness to some of these companies what they said was we want to be neutral but it looked like they were being sort of prejudice against the n.r.a. when it when actually what they said was no we just don't want to have a dog in this fight now some of them like dicks and wal-mart they really felt sort of i think a moral responsibility from their perspective i think is good because if you look at their target audience i think that was that was the right thing to do but honestly the stocks in the rally when they came out with the news which you think well that's positive news the stocks dropped so. i mean honestly everybody what i do and one of wal-mart trump two they actually they didn't have that good of earnings recently so they just reported and they dropped ever since those earnings like a brick you know so i mean the stock overall still very very strong but wal-mart

hasn't had a good month you talk about the market wal-mart has really had a terrible month and even when they came out with that news they didn't have a good reaction so i think it's very political for these companies to be getting involved remember they everyone is their customer so when you take a side you're going to alienate either half your customer base forty percent of your customer customer base depending on where you're located sixty percent your customer base like like in the atlanta so these companies are taking a risk by being political making decisions and they're out there to sell their products are providing a service and they're out there to make money and when they make political stances like this it takes a risk for their profit margin and i'm not so sure that's a great idea for them to do but some are doing it well there are many of us who are very appreciative of you taking positions and sharing them with our viewers it's great to have you good to be with you and put it so very listen. thank you. and before we go a few comments on presidents trump steel and aluminum tariffs i was

a steel worker and it was hard dirty work but it paid well those jobs could support a family but we lost our edge and asia primarily picked up the slack with cheaper labor and better technology so here we are in the president wants to make good on his many year montra to bring back industry good for him it's always good to see politicians walking the walk as they say but and yes there is a but he hasn't really hit the nail quite on the head other than in his words the announcement really raises more questions than answers will there be exemptions for some steel importers like canada for example our neighbor an ally will certain companies be allowed to seek exemptions what might occur if as we've seen in the words around the world nations are seeking to retaliate on our goods the e.u. is threatening as ashley talked about earlier tariffs on bourbon much of it produced in senate majority leader mitch mcconnell's home state of kentucky and on motorcycles like the harley davidsons built in house speaker paul ryan's state of

wisconsin plus there's been recent progress in opening up asian markets to u.s. agricultural goods one of two major u.s. export sectors by the way the surprise of the initial announcement sent markets really are reeling rally they were just going to own if you have money in a pension system it's intertwined with stocks and when top stocks take a terrible tumble so does your four a one k. at this isn't abstract this this isn't child's play this is real for people that are invested in markets and the president really should be careful about his words even though his intentions may be good and well so where does that leave us i'll pass on the policy itself for now and just say that the policy procedure was really horrific it's no way to run the government and finally most of those steel worker jobs like i had are really unfortunately. gone forever should we be talking more about the jobs of tomorrow how are we going to address robotics and artificial

among us well before the storm. has existed at best a just so this is glued. to the culture. ok let's reverse the. checklist yes. just with. the one still to be. senator from the base and i thank god that john said i'm based on the. right is from that meeting that i had on. from michele. bachmann i can. almost feel the fuck among the. students who worked in the sun enough i was going to show you the super bowl or go to the susan though my current course is in the sort of the one of the sleep. together you have

a lot of this. is what. the pentagon holds ground operations against syria after its key ally changes focus to battle another u.s. partner in the region turkey. a former russian colonel who spied for britain is allegedly poisoned in the u.k. sparking media speculation of a russian despite the details more comments from the police also coming up in the program. an israeli soldier is filmed throwing a stun grenade on a couple carrying a baby trying to escape a military operation. i

run the clock across the world this is r.t. international from the team and myself you know neil welcome to the program our top story the u.s. military household did its ground operations against the islamic state in eastern syria in a statement the pentagon said kurdish forces that box in the area are shifting their focus from fighting terrorists to countering a turkish offensive. some fighters operating within the s.d.s. have decided to leave a prey sions in the middle east river valley to fight elsewhere possibly an african they're not fighting isis anymore and that basically meant that the not taken territory back from isis is quickly as they had been in the past the syrian democratic forces mentioned in the pentagon statement are predominantly kurdish militia they have been a key ally of the u.s. in the fight against eisel in syria and have enjoyed washington support they have not joined the fighting in offering where i'm grown launched

a ground offensive against kurdish forces back in january turkey considers militias based there as terrorists and say as it started the campaign to protect its border samir account brings us more. but according to u.s. officials u.s. backed a ground operations against islamic sing remnants in eastern syria have been put on hold now that's because kurds who had spearheaded combat against extremists have shifted to a separate fight with turkish forces in a free the kurdish region of free in northern syria has become a new geo political pivot point in the conflict turkey launched an offensive in a frame in january to expel syrian kurdish forces which it sees as a terrorist group and as an extension of a kurdish insurgency at home while the parties in the region are trying to figure out what to do exactly the violence in the region continues.

for weeks now defense secretary jim matheson other u.s. officials have called turkey's operation a distraction from the isis campaign you know you've got the. distraction of what's going on with africa right now it distracts from international effort to ensure the lasting defeat of isis what is going on in a free and is taking away from the fight against isis it is a distraction as secretary mabus had called it is certainly not helpful however it seems that for kurdish forces the fighting in a frame is more than just a distraction kurds have been washington's key allies in the fight against iceland one of the most effective forces combat ing extremists in the region the pentagon has already admitted that the potential costs of their destruction from the isis is severe now we just have to wait and see how this will affect the battle against isis in syria and whether or not this will extend u.s.

operations in the country don't you know make albums executive director at the rome paul institute thinks relations between the u.s. and the kurds are likely to normalize. well that's three months of the old saying it's better to be the enemy than the ally of the united states because if you're the enemy they may try to buy you but if you're the ally they certainly will sell you and that certainly seems like what they're doing with the kurds perhaps the kurds are understanding that they will be sold out they were sold out in iraq as well and they will be sold out in the eastern part of syria where the us is operating and they're coming to the aid of their allies does the us hope that the syrian government gets further drawn in to the fight with the kurds against the turks then the us can swing back around and help its turkish ally in fighting the syrian government and the kurds as well maybe that's the move that would mean the big question mark is what will russia do in a situation like that talk about a disaster. two people are in

a critical condition after being exposed to an unknown substance in the u.k. one of them is believed to be a former russian colonel who spied for britain the alleged victim's surrogate scribal is retired from the russian military intelligence service in two thousand and six he passed the identities of russian secret agents in europe to the u.k. and was subsequently caught scribal was then sentenced to thirteen years in prison but in two thousand and ten he was released as part of a high profile spite swap with the u.s. and then flown to britain well comparisons have already been drawn with former russian spy alexander litvinenko who died in london back in two thousand and six poisoned with a radioactive substance his death was later blamed on moscow. if you recall back to two thousand and six that was when a man named. alexander litvinenko was poisoned and died a slow horrible death is circling st paul was poisoned it will never really do

questions about kremlin involvement given that russian defector alexander litvinenko was murdered in two thousand and six using radioactive polonium so it's according to the b.b.c. and sky that this gentleman is the one who's been found ill now the police also as well as not naming who the person is they've also not said anything about what the substance is at this stage however that hasn't stopped the media here from drawing parallels with the case of alexander litvinenko who was poisoned in london in two thousand and six but again it's key to point out that the police haven't named either who the man is or what the substance is involved so at the moment anyway the media seem to be jumping to conclusions in drawing those parallels. once you put the word russian in front of somebody who's ill taken a hospital the hospital. cleared out from some people or declared. that no one could add to the area suspect. what do you read into that you read that

it's a radioactive substance it's something which is very dangerous and then you say well which country would have the facilities to produce that of. the british authorities blame the murder. go on the offense be eventually back to liverpool to. just go on speculatively it's too good it's too juicy it's too good to let go and the speed the media speculation sources in the u.k. emergency services have been quoted as saying the former spy may have suffered a prescription drug overdose his symptoms apparently point to the use of a powerful painkiller called fentanyl it is reportedly fifty to one hundred times stronger than morphine and has a similar influence on the body overdoses caused at least sixty deaths in the u.k. and twenty seventeen former m i five officer gave us her views on the case.

this might just be some sort of drug instant there have been numerous stories over the last couple of years in the u.k. or the spread of. synthetic kind of annoyed called spice which seems to create the same sort of sentence that reported in this case people who. dissipated because they've been involved in a spy swap for example their lives are forever changed there's a long history of people in that situation self medicating with substances this happened they were taken to hospital they were identified their names were fed into the system and as soon as there their names are fed into the system there's some alert around the fact that this guy had indeed been involved in the spy swap in twenty ten suddenly became much more much more news worthy and i think this is where this story is built from. so another every headline stories this hour is really officer has been caught on video throwing a stun grenade at a couple running with an infant. i

was. in the video released by an it's really human rights group we can see a palestinian couple running with a baby on its release order then through what appears to be a stun grenade it goes off right behind the family which was trying to flee the area. well the i.d.f. have responded by seeing dozens of protesters were throwing rocks or troops in the area on the officers did not spot but the couple were carrying a child it went on the say that if they had noticed a baby they would have acted accordingly the rights group which released the video violence by israelis against palestinians is what comes under occupation and little is done to prevent it. the reality of the occupation the israeli occupation over the palestinians in this incident as well as in many many others in recent weeks we've seen in this collection of violence by israeli citizens or settlers towards

palestinians the system of civilians who are not citizens despite these many many incidents. public awareness is still low and more importantly the military is failing to provide provide. the security required we're seeing that many many of the violence of settlers and military personnel. go without any trials without any investigations or with investigations and many of them closed down due to lack of the police failure to investigate as they should and this is the case and this is the reality that we're in. we have reached the one hundred day cunt on mark before football's showpiece tournament fifa world cup twenty eight doing kicks off here in russian a total of sixty four matches will take place at twelve either revelant or brand new stadiums across eleven cities.

it's coming up fast on part of our tease a dedicated team to world cup coverage this year is among chester united's legendary goalkeeper peter smiled the great dane has been traveling across russia to take in the final preparations. even though i play the world cup myself this is going to be much more exciting for me because obviously i'm going to be very basic with work being very close to the actual tournament having done a lot of work on the tournament running into the world cup and then once it starts you know all the emotions of having my country there and my son playing there so really special for me. but i think i wish football stadiums for like this when i play i think you'll think it's brilliant assembly and you get an idea about how the

atmosphere will be the day you know that the crowd is so close to the pitch. and that they're all in iran the same kind of theme but they're all very different as well variant of it one one looks like a u.f.o. than another one i said the stadium is such it looked like a cake. but you know i've i've been to russia so many times in my life with football and last time i was here was ten years ago and i've just seen how changed the country is relax about a lot of things that you read about that it's going to be dangerous and you know russia is all the cities are closed and it's not going to be entertaining and i've been to all the eleven cities yet we will finish or that within the next three weeks. but what i've experienced of is the cities are very nice i'm absolutely sure that fief and the authorities they've got everything under control and so far my

experience is that everything has. smoothly and everything is really well organized so my my my advice is to to relax a little bit about things so that we see every day in the western media and then enjoy it while talking of star signings our team moved this broadcasting transfer window to secure one of the biggest names in football and one of the most decorated coaches of the modern game. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of alternative but there was one more question by the way was going to be our coach . guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star and the huge amount of pressure come out you have to be the center of the beach but how would you and great britain get you out of the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down there we have to go.

alone. and i'm really happy to join that for the two thousand and thirteen world cup in russia meet the special one come on both appreciate me to the radio. latest edition of make up as we go. yet so with artie's coach confirmed for the world cup we've been hearing the expectations of those charged with leading their nations to glory in the summer an excitement is clearly beginning to build. most should go up in the world cup is just around the corner that's where the team the europa league has shown what our players are capable of our aim is to play our own game and to be competitive our goal is to progress from the group he was in for the first you store it somewhere is nice if you live in a city like that it's you know we won't. use your teaching.

the kids in the world taking part in the twenty eight hundred cups of huge achievement although we're in a very tough group and nothing is impossible to progress from the group we have to be at our best in every match that i get a little bit and then i think we'll be trying to make footballing history in the saudi people are proud of us but our fall guy will depend on how well we play. we have the youngest team of the world cup and we have a lot of answers yes we need that. yeah that's the case in this model. that's the stuff that we know that. will be really strong with the early stages and it's going to be a tough challenge. or we are going to have coverage right throughout the day from some of the world cup host cities as they mark

a one hundred days until russia takes on saudi arabia in the opening much. still to come this hour as germany's national anthem is caught up in a sexist rollo we asked people in berlin what they think about removing words like father. global war hawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they don't want. to do sock spread of tell you that it will be gossip and probably by itself a little support. from the mosques about telling you are not cool enough and let's fight their product. all the hawks that we along with our audience will watch. when lawmakers manufacture consensus based public wealth. when the

ruling classes project themselves. in the final merry go round listen to the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. fuck with r t international germany's national anthem could be in line for a gender friendly make over a leaked letter written by the country's equality commissioner asked for the words fatherland and brotherly to be removed or your correspondent hear all of our report it's one of the most recognizable national anthems in the world.

but there are plans afoot to make changes to the woods of the lead in an attempt to make it more gender inclusive now this is being put forward by the country's equal opportunities the plan put forward by kristin rose morning would see the phrase fatherland swapped for homeland on the line of brotherly with heart in hand changed to courageously with hoss and hand it wouldn't be the first time that the german anthem which has been used since one thousand twenty two it caused trouble after world war two the first verse in its opening lines. but alice saw germany germany above all else caused problems then as well the the words. selves were written back in the nineteenth century about german unification however the nazis

made them their own. after reunification in one thousand nine hundred one germany adopted the third verse as its national anthem the first verse isn't to be sung but people still do forget like a earlier this year at a fed cup tennis much in the united states which on good play is an found a like. major league. and back in two thousand and nine british musician pete daugherty incurred the wrath of a german audience after he sung the first verse during a life performance. was.

perhaps the time is right to update the anthem we spoke to some people on the streets of berlin that's what they saw. vices i don't know i'm undecided i belong to the generation that grew up with the answer i think is good as it is. he thinks is is i think it's fine the way it is. i didn't use one i don't agree with this i think it's nonsense why should we do this just to make one group happy without the words isn't an option either the texas half of the song without it it would only be half of what it is this is me i honestly don't care. they are based in the good why not i think it's ok their word fatherly and has some negative connotations and he somewhat railing as far as i'm concerned it feels like a negative sort of peach or tears or it would be better if it was more neutral

peter all of the. migrants have rampaged through the streets of florence following the result of italy's general election which left the country with a hung parliament the violence began after a vendor of african origin was killed. was. enough. of sunday's election results saw surge in popularity for migrant and anti establishment parties especially the five star movement which won the majority of votes to be come the single biggest party the league finish second on a similar policies to five star refugees both parties at leaders have expressed

their willingness to become the country's next prime minister. yes it it up but it's in the track to be representative of the entire nation project is inevitably the government of the country we feel the responsibility to give it to your government. so we are now under obligation to form a center right coalition we have a right and a duty to rule in the coming years. all parties feel to gain the required majority of seats in parliament to govern alone and as they jostle to form a coalition it's left a question mark over who will actually be the next prime minister what is known is that italy has turned heavily against the established parties in this county over more problems and the last. people say in establishment in italy it's very bad may be lots of people like me here hope that something something changes because with the old system more think we are going back and back

and back to meet the reforms introduced by the outgoing government led by the democratic party may have led to some improvement in italy's microcode data but these are not translated into the text of all. improvements in the conditions of already our entire younes and basically that compounded by a long standing problem such as. high unemployment rates massive youth unemployment rates but it is equally led many valter to turn to the. parties like the five star movement out of this but regimes that may have tried. other parties in the past not and also worked. in some parts of the country especially there felt that this was a last resort. north korea may be on course for better

relations with envoys from both countries meeting on monday but it seems not everyone is on board with having warmer ties with pyongyang gillum open our picks up the story. the winter olympic games have seen an unprecedented thaw in relations between north and south korea and now that the games are over the two countries have not given up on their road to better relations at this point south korean envoys are meeting with kim jong un for the first time in more than a decade you won't hear any celebrating in the u.s. though take donald trump's tough talk as far as the risk of dealing with a madman is concerned that's his problem not mine while warhawk neo cons talk about a military solution all the damage that would come from the war would be worth shit in terms of long term stability and national security to be fair u.s. leaders did pause their rehearsal for all out war during the olympic games but almost as soon as the closing ceremonies were over the tanks and planes were out

once again and they were rehearsing for mass death new york times reports that a classified u.s. military exercise examined the number of u.s. troops that would be involved in a potential conflict on the korean peninsula according to their estimate roughly ten thousand u.s. soldiers would be wounded in just the first few days of the new korean war the brutality of this war will be beyond the experience of any living soldier in the north and south korea may be tentatively moving forward but the reluctant united states will only sit down with conditions trump says that a meeting can only be arranged via beijing if the north will give up their nuclear weapons that according to pianka yang is a ridiculous and preposterous demand we've waited so long for this to come up there's no leadership in south korea that is recognizing that this has gone on for far too long and this leadership under president moon who is a progressive lawyer he knows what dialogue can do and has seen how it can get

interrupted by one side or another wanting to engage in this ongoing type of tug of war at the. united states has not necessarily had an interest for peace in korea really. it doesn't seem like the leadership wants to create a real atmosphere for peace and that brings us back to the beginning full circle to the vitriolic war of words which is not exactly been helpful in previous years caleb mop and r.t. new york. our tuesday morning news looks we are back watching the hawks in just a moment and then i'm here and often are somewhat more global updates from r.t. h.q. and moscow. jamie diamond no matter how much you try to talk down because i no matter how much she tried to. get his buddies in washington and out whopping guy

i mean the fact is he's lost he has lost the battle of big client he's got it now come crawling back to the market and say you know what the whole banking industry has been fundamentally change we need to adapt. this is. the church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that

end of that's known as the end and then i include at tuesday's out in the. street. a plate for many flips over the years so i know the game and so i got. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch or the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager killian their owners and spending two to twenty million. well it's an experience like nothing else not to be true so i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful day great so what more chance for. peace.

greetings and salutation well the oscars may be over but the ad tricks here in washington d.c. might never end this weekend the house intelligence committee had devon noon newness the republican out of california put his best dramatic foot forward while making the news media rounds all weekend in response to a recent skit by late show host stephen colbert which saw the comedian hit the hallowed halls of capitol hill to push his own version of the trump russian intelligence memo which he subtly and titled devan numis is a blank redacted fill in the blank you know whatever you'd like it to be the offended congressman sounded off to fox news host neil cavuto declaring i think this is the danger we have in this country this is an example of it he went on to lay out a vast left wing conspiracy against him another conservative saying the left controls

not only the universities in this country but they also control hollywood in this country and the mainstream media so conservatives in this country are under attack and i think this is a great example of it but. miss oscar weekend cable news carousel wasn't finished with just a little a little cut owing no new new new new new no intelligence committee chairman sound off yet again this time to light liberty in levying host mark levine telling his fox news sunday audience that quote the media in this country is dead it no longer exists and the american people need to understand this well. in the words of john mcclain welcome to the party pal because golly gee whiz congressman newness anyone who's been paying attention could told you that much which is why most of us have said farewell to your left and right wings of news media and started watching

the hawks. it looks. like. it's at the bottom. like you that i got. this. week so. the world are watching the hawks i have with her and i'm top of the list and joining us today is american radio and t.v. host and conservative commentator steve malzberg welcome steve great to be here guys steve always a pleasure now can it be called ironic that congress when newness was was describing this of the supposed a you know suffocating choke hold the liberal media has of us airwaves while appearing on one of the biggest most popular news travels in the world that is born

for conservative politics and values and is it really that imbalanced. between you. oh yeah i mean it's overwhelming it has been forever you know we used to have the three networks a.b.c. c.b.s. n.b.c. where you could get your news from and they were all in retrospectively doing left their hosts because of those coveted news shows that had such gravitas we find out later we're all left this but today yeah i mean does you pointed out fox right away you think conservative and they are more conservative but i gotta say they have true liberal contributors on their payroll when if you look at the other cable networks they don't go to true conservative contributors they'll have a rhino's republicans in name only who bash and they're called republicans so i mean i have no what no no what legions to fox here but fox is more fair and

balanced than any of the others but look it's the media it is the universities i mean look what happens when a conservative speaker wants to speak at berkeley or here in new york there are riots there i mean there's damage done in the tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars fires are said we're living in very troubled times and conservatives do get the brunt of all of it. you know i think there's a few things i could i could disagree with you want to give you those and drive it is this idea that you know that it's suddenly this new thing that looking at the news and not seeing your perspective of your idea being up there and this what this all brings me back to personally is back to the ninety's and the sort of clinton machine and democrats ever since is that i didn't agree with it when the left at it which was saying that every talking point about hillary or every talking point about obama was just a right wing conspiracy it's just a right wing talking point so isn't blaming the left or blaming the right as we've

all done whether depending on what side we're on doesn't that sort of miss the bigger picture that our mainstream media is really just one big corporate click that protects the status quo and they will shine on whatever side will make them the most money. well i mean. yes to an extent but no i mean if you look at the double standard that exists the liberals get away with everything look look at alec baldwin let's take hollywood and t.v. and disney and alec baldwin and disney of course owns a v.c. if you had a conservative who left a phone message on his twelve year old or eleven year old daughter at the times phone answering machine that the whole world heard where he calls her a little pig and worse and has a history of run ins and alleged homophobic slurs against photographers and physical altercations allegedly with photographers this guy this conservative would have been drummed out of the business years ago he gets

a spokesman gig for banks now we've got to has a new talk show on a.b.c. disney i mean that the double standard i could go out on and on and on and on for the whole show and shows to come with these examples of the double standard that the media is a left wing joke there is no journalism i disagree with but noone is said about the media's dead yet the media is dead but specifically journalism is dead there is no more journalism in this country that i think are good i can agree with that and i agree with that too at the very degrees of a but i you know when i was someone who sits in the middle maybe there's a lot to perspective but it's summer so it's kind of in the middle i see the extremes of both sides you have represented in the news media today i will do i will agree with you though i do think that the by and large most reporters most members of the media do leave more left and that does show up you can't escape that bias with but i think they're not great at. that are middle leftists on certain

issues i will say the leftist media is not helping a lot but still doesn't say you know that what i think about it i get to the came up with new in this is a real overusing the greatest danger excuse too much these days i mean represent about i'm sure constantly declaring that russian internet. rolls of the greatest danger to the country. telling feeling that stephen colbert liberal hollywood you are the greatest dangers to the country threats to our country is that it is a truly great danger is this just congress to thin skinned these there's no i i think i think they're dangerous if you you know if you express it in certain ways and get specific but the greatest danger or a great danger i could think of other you know greater dangers than the stephen colbert there and the media and hollywood and that's namely north korea for one and i could probably run down a list of of others as well but look you know what's interesting yesterday jimmy

kimmel again another late leftist who actually says on his show or has said i don't want supporters watching me i don't want conservatives watching me now that's suicide you would think however he was very political the whole oscars last night was very political you alluded to in your monologue that he took ninety seconds to attack trump called his tweets in the toilet or something and then took it from there and the ratings were down sixteen percent from a year prior what do they expect people don't want to see this garbage only the hard left does and they're destroying their own industry and they don't care they just don't care well as someone who spent almost twenty years of my life and hollywood hollywood business behind the scenes and you know behind and in front of the camera i can see that part of that thing is that i think the idea that hollywood is this liberal bastion of open minds and open hearts and that everyone is so well protected because we're all in this lefty wonderland as

a joke and i think harvey weinstein and the what we've seen from that was what a joke and as the let me ask you there was you know jimmy kimmel's opening monologue which additionally we all thought he was not going to mention anything about about harvey and all of that stuff by. guillermo del toro's closing speech. amazing speech i felt as a woman. and it was all to mostly very on the political aisle very liberal obviously nobody was going up saying we need to end abortion or that we need more war or anything to see do you think this year's oscars were just too political for conservative viewers and how how could we possibly have movies and so word movie is that how have these very intrinsic human experiences that are going to be political how do we do that without seeming sensitive insensitive to conservative viewers. and if i don't i think yeah i mean well yesterday you know it's

a funny thing is that the ironic thing first of all we had heard that he was told not to get political while i was a joke because i mean everybody was political and it was political one way of course against trump against conservatives pence was not trump was not you know right on down the line but you know someone overseas that are very successful are done with smaller production companies and they're very they're themes a very back to the whole sort of time if you will there program legend there about god god is involved in these movies. kevin sorbo is involved in a bunch of those but i got to tell you i've talked to a lot of people in hollywood. that that would come on my show or that wouldn't come on my show over the years because they're not big enough and they're afraid they'll never work again if you've got some people that are brave like robert davi maria conchita alonso and others but there are many who are conservative and say

you can't say anything i can't say anything because i won't work i'm not saying that hollywood is. all of bracing and open minded i'm saying they're closed minded and liberal and sure i mean what went on with harvey weinstein is outrageous but there again you know the joke is oprah all for what should be the one most wonderful president the world she's a woman look at all the pictures she's there posing with harvey weinstein yucking it up that was an open secret in hollywood and i believe my opinion which a paid to give it is is that she she had to know about it and she did nothing to stop it so that whole thing is a is a joke if you're a liberal you get away with it if you're a conservative you better not say the wrong word sneeze and don't say excuse me or you're not going to work again you'll be ruined well now imagine what it's like to sit here and work for two you know that there is you know you know. i got it now you know what i feel like i don't feel like from both sides i'm not going anywhere that isn't. thing because you know we when you look back at the you know i think

that no one's ever going to argue that hollywood has a very liberal slant and no one's ever going to argue that that's going to show up you know most artists and when you kind of take the cross-section there'd always going to kind of lean that way but i do think there's a is a problem when you let politics it's one thing to have your views but when you let politics invade too much of of your what should be you know what is what one half of business the other half an hour form you know don't let it be politics just for politics sake i'm all for someone standing up and voicing their first amendment right to be political and say i will make a speech i've got the spotlight on me i'm going to do that i love that but at the end of the day always remember the hollywood is a business that is there to appeal to all the viewers not just a select group and so it has to have that balance i think that you're losing you're losing half you're insulting half your audience now when you're listening to a talk show or watching a talk show on t.v. i personally like to watch the other side i like to have my blood boil but if i'm

paying for to watch an entertainer or at the movies or a concert you know i what i used to love bruce springsteen ok and he's done terrible things in my view over the years that turned me off to him but the the coup de gras was what he was overseas i forget where and he took a sign from someone in the audience and it said f. and it said the whole donald trump yeah he held it up and that's steve malzberg i got to say thank you so much for coming on a day always an interesting conversation with you always a pleasure all right. as we go to break court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we cover them facebook and twitter see our poll shows at r t v dot com coming up our own taffeta wallace delves into the wonders of a zero sum cyber security with industry expert morgan wright stay tuned to watch the hawks. it's been almost fifty years since we've had human beings on the surface of another

planetary body and i hope that we could actually put together an international lunar exploration initiative much like we have the international space station consortium and together the countries of the world cooperating with the private sector could afford to get back into real space exploration and i think that would that would create a real a lot of excitement. left and some is not is not back and could place is not good to a country and. truly that's a good question of mr olympus among us well loves. music that's good at this that's just the show you will see about on a lot of the cities in the mix on. voices in the sort of the one of the sleeves of . cinema by example you know there was this. series let's go.

for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers available children but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star remotes and a huge amount of pressure can remap do you have to blow me to eighty percent of the beach i probably would. and we will go over great the great you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need to get down going let's go. alone because i want to and i'm really happy to join the other thousand in the in the world in russia. this special one was all to. me just like the radio. just addition to the bigger. look.

the voices calling for governments and corporations to do something about cyber security might be able to do a much better job protecting themselves earlier i spoke with cyber security expert morgan right and started by asking him what is the biggest mistake most people make when it comes to their personal cybersecurity. you know i think it's the issue of trust they think they're inside the system so they should be able to trust everything that comes through like at home you think you get something from your friend on facebook or somebody sends you an e-mail so i could trust that you have no idea what you're doing and then by the minute you the second you click that link you're installing ransomware or some software that's going to get in so i think people have to used to be trust but verify now you've got to flip this around and say i need to verify what this is if you send me an e-mail with a p.d.f.

and we haven't talked about it one of the first things i'm doing is i'm calling you say did you send me a p.d.f. and i've had to do that it sounds like it's time consuming but i tell people it's so it takes you a minute to do that you can either spend a minute doing that or spend ten hours getting your computer back it's up to you what do you think is it about certain products or is it just trusting sort of the all in bundle or you know is that there is there a way product that can help people or is it more about bad habits there is that there's an old saying that says that the best camera is the one you have and so the . security product is actually the one you use if you don't use it it can't help you the biggest thing with any product no matter whether it's security or your operating system we keep it up to date there are a lot of good companies out there that provide anti-virus here's the problem anti-virus there are do you know that there's a million variants of viruses and malicious software being generated every day so trying to flow. with it and they make you just a sick because they infect your machine that is sick so yeah i think we were going to have a kind of

a shift and you're seeing the industry shift in terms of where we're quite worrying about all these different variants instead what we start we still look at behavior in other words if you were to were just talking about your dogs beforehand if your dogs start acting different you see their behavior you don't need a bunch of tests to say hey something's wrong so the experts now the companies are saying let's start looking at the behavior let's start looking at things that the system should be doing and then stop that so i think you're going to see some things like that but you're right what it comes down to people's i think the biggest problem is people's own poor bad habits bad passwords bad their own personal hygiene they don't encrypt their information they don't get on what's called a virtual private network where they're on a wireless network outside of their home so there's a lot of things people can do it's like putting your seatbelts on and keeping two car lengths you just got to get some better habits if you want to stay safe and you think some of that's because you know the internet really has only been with us fully in this form for the last ten fifteen years and it's a bit like you know getting cars think you learn you have to check your oil you have to take your tires securities like that what would you say are the most important things pass where it's actually an aisle to have

a thing called free password course dot com but it links to some other stuff which there are some things you can do which is number one and it's not don't use the same password for your bank account as you do for facebook. if there are some people who do that trust me i don't know if you have we don't want to give that away you know might i tell you about not my a bank account but believe it or not i was i was just out conference for a very large state yesterday and one of the biggest passwords are the biggest problem people deal with both that working at home so i have a structure of how to get remember. those passwords encrypt everything you have whether it's stored locally you know or it's moving don't click on suspicious links you know that's one of the ways that ransomware now is it was a cost three hundred fifty billion dollars in damage in twenty fifteen guess what it did in twenty seventeen five billion dollars right now the colorado department of transportation can't pay its employees because they're inspected with ransomware and just a cut because guess what somebody clicked on

a link so i'll tell you the biggest problem not only for people if you have bad habits you're speaking of driving if you're a poor driver and you go to work for the police department you're still a poor driver just because you're in a car and i know from experience. oh i could drive really good now because i have these lights and sirens so they get on the internet and you're right we're now raising the first true post internet generation they're kind of calling it the i didn't you know pass the millennial they've never known anything but the internet so that brings up a whole nother host of problems is how we're going to raise our kids to be better on the internet like you say it's like driving you've got to go to school first learn the course you know about driving learn the rules of the road then start training on it and then you actually get the technology were to one of the mistakes parents made is they give their technology too fast too quick to the kids without establishing the rules of the road and you see that a lot of parents say that they're trying to understand boundaries with kids now and a lot of it has to do with technology on the other side or the people who work behind the scenes that technology professionals know cybersecurity professionals are the gatekeepers you know it's the kingdom of information that everything you

know is put into different institutions corporations in the world how are these individual selected are they hired just on their expertise and background which is what are those backgrounds and what does ethics how does that play a role and whether or not these people get hired or work in the industry so we'll take the first one what are the expertise you'd be surprised having come from a large technology company before like cisco there were people walking around the halls that had fifty patents never went to college a lot of these were self-taught now but but trained but that's. because they had to transition that now to where there are a lot of colleges now that have a degree program specifically for cyber security we're getting people who were go to college say i want to learn cybersecurity so we're seeing the expertise get up and i think what you'll see is that from the programmer for the people who actually do the work level you're going to want all the technical skills but as you move up you've got to have the business skills because cybersecurity now is about how do you keep a business safe let's talk about equifax for a second i need you to be the i don't need to be the smartest person in the world

to know if we've got a if we've got our biggest system it was called the consumer dispute database that is connected to the internet and there is a problem and there is a patch that needs to be applied first question is was the patch applied yet i don't have to be a cyber security expert to ask that question so we have to have that ability to go two questions deep but then that gets into the issue of ethics you are in that position we saw happen in twitter remember when donald trump's account was turned off for a little bit somebody had access so it's that trusted insider so ethics in this area is huge because you're right we give those people the keys to the kingdom and unless you trust them with that keys the trusted insider will become even more of a threat as time goes on as we get better at cyber security the easiest way and it's going to have find somebody who can give you the key to unlock the door and not breaking through the very sophisticated lock what does that mean the idea that the trusted insider and how does that connect to you know what's going on today when we're seeing if things get stale and we're all told that we have to worry about someone from the outside coming in what is the trusted insider and why is why

is that person so dangerous so we're in washington d.c. so a couple examples of the trusted insider people like robert hanssen the f.b.i. agent james you've had people who were trusted inside other organizations and even companies you know that gave intellectual property to other companies so the trusted insiders the person who's been inside that company has risen to a level where nobody questions anymore of their role in their responsibility in their authority or the access they have the information one of the reasons of getting a security clearance is so i don't have to go through and explicitly. that we trust you to do this once i do your background i can now implicitly trust i don't have to prove it each time and that's what people take advantage of and that's why i say when you make the locks on the doors tougher to break through the easiest way to get in is going to be the insider intrastate what do you think is the most important skill lacking in this new generation of cyber security professionals where what do you think is the one thing that if someone wants to get into cyber security what's the one area that you feel you really have a handle on what's really important you know i believe or not it's not the

technology because you're to be able to learn that people need to start understanding what impact does this have on how business is run on how schools protect their information or universities or banks protect their information because if you make it too tough for me to get to that information i'm going to find an easier way to do it and the easier way is always less secure so it's really understand the technology but spend some time in the real world to understand there are consequences for what you do and that look businesses are in the business since to make money universities are in the business to do research governments are in the business in certain areas to keep secrets making sure you understand what the business is that you're in and understanding what they do that's i think the key thing people want to go and play with the technology they don't spend enough time learning about what's the root what's the main thing here and always keep the main thing the main thing and how does that do you as a as a company are you as a consumer not just this is great for happy like nothing sort of one size fits all what do you believe is the biggest threat to our personal security our personal

online data and information what's the biggest threat and individual a government or a corporation. you know we are we are able or the where. people are the worst you know there is a funny video that i played yesterday and it is you can find it on you tube it's jimmy kimmel and they walked around and this is when obama was still in office and after it's the state of the union address talking about cyber security what we think it's important so we want to see what your passwords are you would not believe people laugh at or so but these are the people working for you that gave away their passwords to somebody holding a microphone with a camera and they're telling them their parents words. we are always the biggest threat to everything that goes on so in other words if we have bad habits we're teaching our children bad habits or if we have bad habits again at home we take them to work so if we secure ourselves first if we become responsible for ourselves we will have a much safer environment interesting i think there's a lot when it comes online security are the innovations of our communications and automation still outpacing our ability to protect ourselves and defend our communities from what most people calls her unsolicited surveillance or outright

attack something like ransom are you know is are we catching up to the. to the technology is the technology where is the gap technology ois up places our ability to understand it government is a perfect example of where the wiretap laws that are in use today are actually originated in the one nine hundred twenty s. i mean for organized crime and al capone back then it we haven't really evolved a lot of our own policies to track the technology so. just when you get used to an i pad or an i phone and the way it works something comes out there's a new threat or there has to be an update so the bad guys are going to one of those things. you have to think about connecting the dots they think outside the boundaries so the whole thing about connect the dots most people trying to keep it in that little square and connect online dots that guys think outside the boundaries that's where these actors work so we're used to thinking in this box so that sometimes it's our own beliefs that inhibit us but i'll tell you again it goes back to what i think is is that people we've got

a very early training people and it's no different than teaching drive a car you wouldn't teach a kid to drive a car by holding a beer or taking a seatbelt off and wearing a blindfold oh is that and that's not how it's nice to have them here not not even from kansas where i was. but we do the equivalent of that when we are when we're sitting in a restaurant with our kids and we get our heads down we're not paying attention to what's going on we're not the intentional we're giving them the bad habits and guess where they take those bad habits to school to work you know into the profession so for businesses it's believe it or not we're ten years away fifteen years away from actually having the right kind of workforce we need that actually take security. seriously. twenty five years ago a strange little side fi show called x. files graced our screens in it a brooding believer in the paranormal and extra terrestrials f.b.i. agent fox mulder was assigned a new partner of the skeptical medical doctor with a badge dana scully and scully didn't just change fox mulder the fictional f.b.i. she changed how we looked at women in the fields of science technology engineering and math more importantly how women view themselves in those fields it turns out

the scully effect is real and all those young women watching dana scully a character who didn't look like the baywatch babes of the one nine hundred ninety s. were actually inspired to go into stem fields. scully had an undergrad in physics a couple of stanford doctorates and she did it all in sensible shoes while giving perfect our roles to mulder's ever increasing and maurizio any theories that usually ended up being true to what we watch makes a difference and dana scully made us all believe that science is a human pursuit not just a male one and that the truth knows no defender in the words of dana scully don't answer estimate women don't underestimate women how to out of the rest about go or not as it could be tricksters tale oh. those really wild bird grabs to do the scullers character of the people who put her together join us and all of the writers and all of them because it is a great role model and advisor on the show actually said the university of maryland

when he asked how many people even in the ninety's how many people got into a cause of dana scully two thirds of the women in the room that's going to say well out of our children to be a member of one in this world we're not told we loved enough to tell you all i love you i am tyrone but thorough does have a dollar keep on watching those off the grid to let. you do the economic will resume folding in the realm of education the right to. being supplanted by the right to. education. higher education is becoming just another. tool. but it's not just about education anymore it's also about running a business and what you. want is the place of students in this business model for.
