looted the destruction of its entire chemical weapons stockpile last year but apparently it was not only russia that had access to research labs and the scientists working there in his back to start for example which became independent after the break up of the soviet union it was the pentagon that helped to demilitarize the facility it was in that very facility that never chalk was tested so they didn't even ask the gobbles up again has built schools in the mid one nine hundred ninety s. western special services recruited a number of our chemical specialists their names are known they also brought some of those documents and continued research in this area clued in in the us in the u.k. to the results achieved by those countries in creating new poisonous substances that for some reason classified under their common name in the west are confirmed and represented in more than two hundred open sources from nato countries we have all the references we're ready to provide them. how has she responded to the russian government's request for

a sample of the agent used in the soles reattack to run its own tests apparently no response and no sample why the secrecy if this is such an open and shut case. as that revealed any evidence as to the location of its production all the identity of its perpetrators hundreds of officers as you would expect him to work around for gathering evidence to identify those responsible were not declaring a person of interest or a suspect at this bono how does committing a heinous act on foreign soil on the eve of a presidential election and months before the much discussed world cup knowing the diplomatic fallout benefit the kremlin you have to ask one thing if russia wanted to kill this man they could have killed him when he was a prisoner in russia why have they waited this long and why use a chemical weapon. that makes the book definitely is so rushed behind this that

very odd to think that the president of russia is sitting in his office deciding who to kill someone who is no longer basically now retired in britain i would guess that mr putin has got more important things to do than that but the reason may says russia's been given a chance to disprove its guilt until proven innocent despite many unanswered questions the mass expulsion of diplomats the freeze on the high level talks for tat action approaching means the diplomatic damage has already been done and it's too late to undo. two more global news this hour there is a power struggle in berlin but this time it's between the authorities and the criminal underworld it's claimed that our crime clans are infiltrating the police and undermining their reputation and the media say's they're proving successful at it you're sure europe correspondent peter all over. a parallel society with

parallel justice being meted out by a mafia don the arabic clones of underworld have apparently gained so much influence that they're challenging the power of the state and that it's got alarm bells ringing in the city prosecutor's office the damage is already done now the clans are making sure their confidence in state power is dwindling the latest method being used to a road the power of the police while cementing their own is to use their power base against the police the strength lies in drug trafficking protection rackets and prostitution and it's the latter it's being used to attack the reputation of police officers. rumors have been spreading about police and prostitutes aiming to show police officers in a bad light for example that they have given drugs to prostitutes for information but once it's out there it is very difficult to dispel it people see corrupt cops

in hollywood and think yes that could happen even if we have very clear evidence to prove it's not true. the arab clans have become such a part of the tapestry of the german capital that they were recently featured in the hit t.v. show. for. the sake of. god i'm going to talk about. that and believe. the police point out this real life is far crueller and violent than any. crimes main weapon is intimidation but just recently we saw a passer by shot and injured in a shootout between gangs if you hear shots being fired in. eighty percent of the time it's clans we've seen police officers testifying against. members being

threatened right in the courtroom because you stand against them and expect to be visited by them and for threats to be made against you and your family. the clans have become emboldened over the last few years being linked to or investigated in more and more ambitious crimes like the daring heist on an upscale cooed jewelers and the theft of a one hundred kilo gold coin from the boat a museum but how to open up a group that uses violence to guarantee silence and. we need to track the money like they did with the math here in italy device that we should make it so people have to prove where the cash comes from now a person can claim all the unemployment benefits available to be driving a lamborghini it here and say it was a gift from his brother even though the real money is coming from criminal enterprises. with the police feeling strong by allegations against officers and

the crime. we have to ask. in the increasingly called battle for the streets of berlin peter all of. the russian presidential election is just around the corner and the candidates are getting fired up in the t.v. debates more for marty's preview coverage ninety seconds. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all but there was one more question by the way was 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. 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 that for the thousand in. the special one come on both appreciate me to just say the review the latest edition to make up a bigger. book. welcome back to the program there is just a few days left for the russian election candidates to try and win over voters in the run up to polling day we're profiling the presidential hopefuls today vladimir

zhirinovsky who's the leader of russia's liberal democratic party he's run for president in all bar one election since they began in russia in one thousand nine hundred one he wants to introduce a progressive income tax system instead of the current all run flat rate as well as pledging to tackle poverty unemployment and illegal immigration is critics say he's puncturing too easy populism and that his party often votes in line with the kremlin in parliament anyway here's where sure enough stones in his own words. it would seem to me we must be strong and those in the president should be tough with such a foreign policy that will make everyone scared of others so is that and they can respect as usual and no one will dare to close russian schools there are still fresh russian language for me i will move death to stop margins it's not lawmakers turkeys and no one will dare to kill our ambassador because i will do everything to make russians and our language respect your.

he has used the russian citizens to be proud of our country not be proud of sausages or smart phones is disgusting there are hewing overnight to buy a new phone it's not that's not what price even though i promise all military officers new ranks and the new no one will be left without flags and yeah you'll get them immediately as no more waiting there's lots of a confusion when you will increase pensions for all veterans and you give bonuses free to restrict the i will protect all of us the away and we will be proud of our country. does not see that we need to have a strong army out of that know what actions here be friends with somebody who did those who are we going to be friends with no risk of nato forces at our borders it will take you five minutes to fly to st petersburg that they were born seven minutes to moscow to the moscow that's our genuine enter afghanistan they are planning to destroy our country and they won't stop and you'll whimpering only you will travel there to get a shingle visa i will get better economy by your kind of economy he told you if

they bomb the hell out of us tomorrow that would security is the first. these people shouldn't even be allowed to serve as an ordinary civil i need and they want to become president i thought that's a disgrace and it would change the loyalists and you weren't see this because it's a quote outrage at the net election when you may get brought up near it sure enough skate well as well as the candidates who are also meeting foreigners from across russia to hear who they want in the kremlin top job today we're heading to the pub .

please. feel. free to remove one of the very rich and which will give it a million ways some of you clean it up and some of the. main should be mainly it is of what the media source for you try to keep in the us as from a lobbyist even looking up the walls you know the law school's out more you fredrickson. least you spoke with one of the. oh yeah you get used to what i learn. but i do mean with the league a new video of you being asked for their boots up to the field kharkiv stems from there's no better game than the graduates to work with us but this feeder somersaulting on the most read of the proposed culture to specifics of the to put it quite see if it actually stood out because of cricket so probably emphasis about

the loose interest of society had to go into your. argument all cynical and i would have the stories in the news i mean you must know some people are scratching back up to look at us but i started seeing precious things that concluded in some. way would be should know how first it will come up with no notion that i was on the other it's easy to assume you're one of the adults i just missed the most sustainable so. the look from the public the support from you suppose i'm not but it's all in the most honest people to put on the solicitor the style in law. it's. just it's. got all this with. some of the voters and you can meet more of the presidential candidates here over

the next few days and indeed from the sound of the evening our special election coverage kicks off on red square and continues right through polling day as and you see those all important results and reactions. donald trump's latest speech to the military in the u.s. has stirred the amount of nation of saif i phones he's a monster a new frontier for america arthur space a special space force to go with it but as our. explains while some have a field day with jokes on the internet others are warning of the dangers of space militarization. the army navy and a full things aren't enough in the battle for world dominance it's time for new developments and donald trump isn't show it via death space is a war fighting domain just like the land air and sea. we may even have a space force develop another one space force we have the air force one of the

space corps we have the army the navy trans comments have captured the imagination of twisties as with many wondering whether help become the guardian of the galaxy or will he be training in all me of power ranges all still in trip as ready to file a says at any extraterrestrial threats. and even some of the president's general seem to be a list same page or planet there is no war in space just as there is no war in cyberspace there is only war and war can extend into any demain not a new idea has been proposed many times in the past and it's always been rejected by the do something that people have been promoting again recently i think i would be a very negative move actually because it would create a constituency whose natural interest then is is used to further the weaponization of space and create

a greater danger of actual war in space but not all the way both the us defense and the air force secretaries have labeled the space plan as unnecessary where critic and costly and the house in fact spin a space command's for if they see is is part of the us as force and carries out intelligence operations and make sure space isn't militarized then there's also the nine hundred sixty seven outer space treaty no small obstacle to any american ambitions to put weapons in orbit it was created to stop the setup of military bases and out of space and address other costs make concessions although the us has previously blocked or abstained from the un effets to regulate space weapons.

since at least the past twenty years have not. the united states has had no interest in any discussion of space arms control over though it's hard to tell how since a trump is at this point one thing is facial trunk fails the fullest. sticking to the sky told goal to have rained down on the runway in northern siberia after the doors of a cargo plane turning the precious metal field take a look at this the plane was carrying nine tons of gold worth nearly four hundred million dollars from a mine in the region according to local media one hundred seventy two gold bars have been recovered so far they also quote witnesses who say they saw bars of platinum as well as diamonds scattered across the runway police cordon the area in the russian city of. searching for the rest of the cargo good luck with that siberia is a region famous for its gold silver mine it's. another diamond nicky are in this

here in a run in thirty minutes time with more global news from our. stay with us. well you know they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates. they're in the smaller boats next to the harbor ones here and it's just. a little self to be told already ninety percent of the dot dot and it won't because . fifty. seven tons. do it several times a day with a big lead no you get an idea. you have to

understand we can all stay still and just. be witness of the deal going to the hours. i'm doing this because i want them for the future world to the future generations to have and enjoy the ocean how we have. joined me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. they're not ones out. on the flimsy often i don't want my next night off the definitions and i'm back. when seeking out in the. south. and. taking in the equal city south korea sound it to me would

oxycodone and then you're just going to bring the only thing i've. done would meet me right now i think the boys involved in the night beach yeah sounds our. next guest feeling if one means i love just like that be deep but let me face them tokyo find it is going to happen keep going to get. out of. the way. this one was because did a piece of dancing coral cultural pretty high from the premise.

because a report to show the girls were no show as ever gone before where exactly that is we are still trying to figure that out stacy hi max so you know you do a double header with michael hudson dr michael hudson that was in our last episode and he's in the second episode second half of this episode today so i have the privilege of actually seeing what he has to say and it's very fascinating you really have to tune in for the second half with dr michael hudson because he's looking at finance capitalism and international free trade so-called free trade and it's quite interesting because he talks about the high cost of living and the low

wages and that's certainly something we see in america as more and more people and in the u.k. which is even more and france and spain this notion of the precariat a precarious jobs and the indignados you know all these sort of sort of temporary temporary sort of stable jobs so you're a good worker at the gig economy. or things like that but. another way out of their ghetto of these get jobs is to become a you tube star so i have this interesting story about you tube success on you tube still means a life of poverty you can have a million views a month and still not be able to make rent new research out of germany billed as among the first to review the chances of making it in the new hollywood shows a vanishingly small number will ever break through just like in the old hollywood in fact ninety six point five percent of all of those trying to become you tubers

won't make enough money off of advertising to crack the u.s. poverty line according to research by mad bartle a professor at often burge university of applies sciences and often berg even to get to the top one percent of you tube stars the top three percent sorry you need one point two or four million views per month on your tubes but you're still making less than the minimum wage less than poverty wages in america you know but in the nineteen seventies and early early one nine hundred sixty s. used to visit with my family times square you know we'd go into new york and go into new york and go to times square for example in at the time you could see the dancing chicken so you put the five cent piece into the machine there and out comes a dancing chicken a chicken that's on a plate an electric plate that's

a lecture followed and so the chicken is being slowly electrocuted to death it was a real chicken yes indeed. i know that so it's like a big glass box in times square and you went and put a quarter in and they forced a chicken out on to the kitchen comes out on an electric gets electrocuted essentially. now this is you tube. you have millions of water. we dancing chickens come out. hopefully they'll get a like bird tweet but they're socially they're narcissistically narcissus narcissism ling in themselves to death it's death by narcissism well according to this article breaking into the top three percent of most viewed channels could bring in advertising revenue of about sixteen thousand eight hundred dollars a year bartle found in an analysis for bloomberg news that's a bit more than the us federal poverty line of twelve thousand one hundred forty

for a single person that guideline for a two person household is sixteen thousand four hundred sixty the top three percent of video creators of all time and bartle sample attracted more than one point four million views per month now the problem with this is that a lot of people are setting their basically hopes out of the gig economy gatto on becoming one of these new hollywood celebrities so one in three british children aged six to seventeen told pollsters last year that they wanted to become a full time you tube where there's three times as many as those who wanted to become a doctor or a nurse so one in three british children wants to become a you tube star. this is a total breakdown in the institutions that would make a normally functioning society where you have doctors and lawyers and theologians and other professions in careers that make up in dynamic ecosystem of culture

we have that all been eviscerated by the financialization of the economy starting back under the reagan factor years where everything was commodified secure and traded and backed and secured and goldman sachs a five and fan player squid have five and now we have a whole generation that's just looking to expose themselves to death they want to be out there as exhibitionists as a freak show they. could be the long haired lady or the snake swallowing boy or any number of freaks remember the movie free they even had the famous line in there one of us one of us one of us which is a great. great siren song of u two is they want you to become a freak they want to get you and your inner freak out freak the next spring so they can of course take all that money to the bank well the other problem is of course

the monopolization by you tube of online video content viewing so they control the market and they feed people more and more into the top one percent of of you tube stars so basically they guide people where they go and you see that in the charts that the article shows is that over the years the number of big stars any any content creator making more than a million views a month that's actually declining because it's being monopolized by fewer and fewer content creators and the other thing of course is that you tube is now basically because of because hillary lost to a reality t.v. star and it's as humiliating as any circus freak show in p.t. barnum to a dancing chicken she lost. she did and because of that she's

a woman scorned and the whole the entire edifice of our society and infrastructure of our economy around us must be destroyed and you tube is withdrawing ads from not only our t.v. for example but from a lot of alternative media yes the likes of alex jones but also the likes of truthdig and alternative progressive media a lot of them are being. monetized so we've seen that with the with the more free and sort of characters say like luke rick ouzinkie even though they get hundreds of thousands of views they they were deemed monetise for sed while nobody cared. listened and now they're coming for the bigger bigger names and soon you'll only be able to watch one dance and second what we saw the same thing with the network television network and the public airwaves and the spectrum of elbel

telecommunications that were available to all kinds of commercial enterprises and the public and we had public access television and we had all kinds of and shows that were in the public's interest and news was done in the public interest on the commercial interest and then you had this gradually transform into a purely public vehicle where the news was essentially squeezed out in favor of of kind of rabid foaming at the mouth polemicists like rachel maddow and you have no actual kind of news as that word is to be understood now the same thing then in the you tube was launched and you had a democratization of media and people out there they did their own shows it was quite rich and quite diverse and quite interesting but of course as the numbers got huge the new googles it went down the same path as network television as they were going to squeeze out all the independents we want to just promote a set number that we for we make the money on because even though the internet is something that was publicly built it came out of the darpa came out of the military

came out of taxes without taxes without them u.s. government without the military there would be no you tube there would be no internet and yet there payback for this free ride this rent seeking is to squeeze out all the diversity and give us dancing chickens which lead to a dancing chicken president so don't look at overseas as the problem to your dancing chicken president look at you tube you get the media consolidation look at les moonves at c.b.s. there's your dancing chicken president don't blame foreigners for your loss you for it and it is so not only did little max keiser get to see these dancing chickens in times square but you also get to see ugly george who was an important character on public access television yes george was and the robin bird was also another public access it. these were done i made my own t.v. show in the one nine hundred seventy s. called the king kaiser show you can see portions of that on the you tube i'm yet to release the full catalog of the king kaiser show that i had in high school or in

mamaroneck new york and also while you were in times square with putting quarters in there for the dancing chicken of course many people know about travis bickle he was also hanging out in times square and his taxi. it could have been a movie but it seems like real life but of course he drove a yellow taxi taxi driver and that isn't our next headline because they have been disinter mediated by an algorithm drivers often make below minimum wage report finds some drivers end up losing money after insurance maintenance and other costs according to a study raising concerns over labor standards so this is a study out of mit and drivers it turns out make basically as little as eight dollars and fifty five cents per hour. the article the researchers they did have a little bit of conflict with over the how they determine how much they actually get paid but nevertheless.
