motive and opportunity are usually needed to prove criminal guilt the nerve agent chuck used in that attack was actually developed in the soviet union decades ago and the o.p.c. w. officially confirmed that russia had concluded 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 and his biggest fan for example which became independent after the breakup of the soviet union it was the pentagon that helped to demilitarize the facility it was in that very facility that nugget shock was tested. the gobbles up again 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 the documents and continued research in this area including in the us in the u.k. the results achieved by those countries in creating new poisonous substances that for some reason classified under the common name novacek 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 offices as you would expect him to work around gathering evidence to identify those responsible we're not declaring a person of interest or a suspect that this. 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 fall. not 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 are they waited this long and why use a chemical weapon that makes it look definitely as though russia is 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 threat or longer basically now retired in britain i would guess that mr putin has got more important things to do than that but the reason maine says russia has 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. a well known ukrainian m.p. is accusing top here of being involved in the shooting massacre that took place

during the twenty forty might an uprising events that led to the overthrow of the country's government after the show went public with her incendiary claims she was in turn accused then of plotting a terror attack on ukraine's parliament building is a former helicopter navigator you may recall her face or she was sentenced to twenty three years in jail in russia after being found complicit in the murder of two russian journalists in eastern ukraine she was later pardoned in exchange for prisoners of war so change was initially hailed as a hero in ukraine when she returned from russia but then it all turned out she faced increasing criticism nicaea and discuss the latest scandal with the deal refute it. stories had so many twists and turns and this is yet another one. well basically ukraine's general prosecutor has asked and called for her immunity to be stripped in order to arrest and the reason for that is that they claim that she is behind organizing a terror plot her intentions apparently were to blow up parliament using grenades.

now this call to support immunity happened after she spoke out at a press conference and she made some very bold accusations indeed according to her she's claiming that a number of m.p.'s ukrainian m.p.'s were responsible for organizing sniper fire at both sides of the crowds about means the authorities and the protesters at the twenty fourteen mass protests and those protests of course but the trigger of the government being overthrown so that's what she's saying a little bit of a tit for tat there situation let's have a listen to what she said. i said that i saw a van people with weapons were coming out of people who are in parliament people who gave orders who committed crimes who are always look for a scapegoat the prosecutor general needed to become the prosecutor so that he's crimes against the ukrainian people are never investigated these are extraordinary accusations are very bold words indeed and a complete u.

turn of course she's gone from hero to enemy of the state we can take a quick look at what her profile is. you're pre-condition you. were. really. surprised intrinsically to make use of. should be in your. straw. poll after almost two years in a russian prison a ukrainian pilot is back home and so quite a significant moment there for the pilots the president and the ukrainian nation to

many she's a hero country ukrainians her release will only reinforce that. she was previously accused of being complicit in the killing of two russian journalists and served time there and she was also part of a prisoner of war swap and during that swap actually she was met by president bush and has south. and she has enjoyed a very successful political career but she doesn't have that support now what is interesting is that her whole story has commanded the north for a lot of international media attention but will this new turn attract as much attention as she has had in the past. by the news tonight donald trump's latest speech to the military in the us is the imagination of he's alone stood a new frontier for america out of the special space falls to go with it but as a new theory explains next world out of

a field day with the jokes on the internet others are warning of the dangers of space militarization. the army navy and air forces aren't enough in the battle for world dominance it's time for new developments and donald trump isn't short of ideas space is a war fighting domain name just like air and sea. we may even have a space force develop another one space force the air force one of the space force we have the army the navy trans comments have captured the imagination of twisties as with many wondering whether the guardian of the galaxy or will he be training in all me of power ranges all stone trip as ready to file a says 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 new something that people have been promoting again recently i think that 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 as for secretaries have labeled the space plan as a necessary prayer critic and costly and the house in fact spin a space command's for if they say yes is part of the u.s. air 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. so it's at least the past twenty years of not young the united states has had no interest in any discussion of our space or arms control so although it's hard to tell how sincere trump is at this point one thing is fishel trying feels the force is with him. into a giant google has landed a blow major win for bitcoin after it was announced that for the cryptocurrency would be removed from its platforms because valuation hit

a low for march on thursday to trading at under eight thousand dollars following the eleven percent drop in just twenty four hours here's how google explained this ban anyway now we don't have a crystal ball to know where the future is going to go with cryptic currencies who's seen enough consumer harm or potential for consumer harm they did scenario they want to approach with extreme caution so google will come into effect in june and it follows a similar move by facebook earlier this year the social media platform still however allows some financial based but cryptic currencies are strictly off the list because no face has been cut off from two of the world's biggest advertising sellers there but whether that is going to hold crypto mania is up for debate stories like these of course grab potential investors in. chris saying thousand dollars into big cloying in twenty thirteen he's now turned it into twenty million dollars a turn of three hundred fifty dollars to twelve thousand he says that

twelve thousand turned to six figures in a year he became a millionaire at twenty four well here's the flip side you can see on your screens now there was well and perhaps why google and facebook are concerned for every up there's a well documented let's talk about pros and cons of the google ban and charge for the financial content i challenged you expect that google basically saying hand on heart it's worried about leading people down a speculation path and actually don't know what they're getting into and yes they could make a lot of money but boy they could lose a lot of money as well so google and facebook with the good guys here good thing or not. well it's an interesting one isn't it google one of the top tech companies in the world not allowing online currency advertising it's quite interesting considering some of the rubbish that financial services companies have been selling on american idol and all sorts of other platforms for the best part of two decades now but i think it's a bit of a p.r.

exercise going on. you know a lot of financial services companies are across the world of bitcoin sales particular on credit cards so. there may well be a bit of pressure from the u.s. government because bitcoin of course is a real threat to the existing financial system. and i mean just from a simple example of how to buy and sell for me personally i tried to buy from that calling a couple months ago we had a bit spare cash i take credit cards and i had to try three chancellor is declined every time i rang up the call center and they gave me a different reason every time and i found out eventually that it was because it was the purchase was blocked and then on the sales side of things a lot of u.k. banks was it because the trial because all we've seen which has been falling of late there's a huge bubble the big go daddy goes you can lose such a lot of money so quickly by getting in here if you don't know what you're doing it is a gamble like idealist you do isn't it it is i think that needs to be two things going

on which a conversation that hasn't really been how the government regulatory level which is regulation and education because it's here to stay and cryptocurrency are here to stay big banks are saying it's a bubble but the santa ana investing in some of them. not because and in particular so we need to find a way of cryptocurrency fitting into the existing payment system for thier currencies and also to educate the public because what happened last year was everyone got into the game because they were just trying to not lose out they don't know what they were doing so they were educated i mean john mcafee spoke at this about it at length and he's one of you know one of the number of people that i would i would go to least basic knowledge. you've got that. so there's the lack of regulation it's not really fitting in when you've got so f.x. companies and derivatives companies who are selling sort of contracts for

difference on the back of it where you can buy and sell on the price difference well the problem with what happened last year was bitcoin is not a speculative currency it's it's supposed to be a replacement for the existing pain. system so you can't be in it for the short term because of these bubbles and also the speculators are adding to the bubble so what you need to do is you need to see it as a as a replacement for a fee out as the future as a long term investment and you can't say oh i'm getting into big coin and then and then and then you compare it to the fee at currencies that you're trying to get away from i get you ok so now i see the theory the path which you think it should go but is that wishful thinking or not is a chance you could even fizzle out. i think that whilst we have this lack of education in particular derivatives companies trading companies and people getting in just because they don't lose out we're still going to have these massive fluctuations but once the regulators around the world realize that it is here to stay and one way or another it has to fit into the existing system you know people are either must go only by taking a bit coin for example that sort of thing is going to continue and it's like the

internet it's it's very difficult to stop especially across borders you know you have these crossed currency payment systems are just growing and growing and they're taking over the banks so we have to find a solution and we have to educate people because there are so many people that have got into it people i know that don't have a clue what it's all about. good to go into says oh no people myself charlie think you're about your time tonight charlie ball of the of london the financial commentator nice to be thoughts thank you for watching as well on a again another busy news night twenty five minutes past eleven here in moscow it's kevin zero in saying thanks for watching this live latest policy on the events of course we're following in the care you can continue for the twenty four seven on our site r.t. dot com across all the social media platforms for now our programs continue in your part of the world right after this break.

or. are. you. well you know that they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. of being there in the small boats next to the hard pool of ships and it's. not something. the little self did big bold fish already ninety percent of the dot and wall in the conference. concept fifteen scoops up seventy five tons to run out and they do it several times a day with a big fleets of power you get an idea on why the ocean is all. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be with him this will be his

deal for you. i'm doing this because i want the future world to the future can generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. so far right than britain isn't just on the march it's taking violent month daughter's action i know quite a bit leaning against a dog and i see those organizations which are all usually split into which we feel different names how do you view that look. at. the complex web of british basher.

because a report to show that goes where 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 that 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 you know 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 applied sciences and often berg even to get to the top one percent of the 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 back in the nineteen seventy's 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 right so you could look at 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 and so the chicken is being slowly electrocuted to death it was

a real chicken yes indeed. i don't 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. be dancing chickens come out. hopefully they'll get a like early tweet but they're socially they're narcissistically narcissism narcissism living in themselves to death it's death by narcissism well according to this article breaking into the top three percent of most few 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 there's three times as many as those who wanted to become a doctor or a nurse so one in three british children want 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 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 fide and fan player squid have fide 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 would have the famous line in there one of us one of us one of us which is a great. great siren song of you two they want you to become a freak they want to get 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 that 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 anise as humiliating as any circus freak show in p.t. barnum's going to a dancing chick and 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 monetized 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 chicken well 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 then you google's that 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 we make the money on because this 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 the u.s. government without the military there would be no you tube there would be no

internet and yet they're paid back 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 of 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 he 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 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 in 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 what the study finds is that lifts. basically rely on economic ignorance of these people applying for jobs taxi

driver. driver jodie foster is a venture capitalist travis bickle is a dot commers cryptocurrency want to be and conspire to take down the currency system someday our real crypto come and wash away all this fear travis bickle quote from driver directed by martin scorsese coined available in theaters now of course travis bickle was driving at that taxi to his company owned he was driving the car for them and he had to like hose down the back of the car when everybody vomited in all the sex and all that crazy stuff that happened in the backseat well of course this is part of the cost that many of these drivers trooper lift don't factor in the damage to their vehicles the mileage on

their vehicle the wear and tear the gasoline costs insurance costs all that such that eight percent of drivers are actually losing money so they're just travis picoult yeah every single one of us there's nobody that's escaping goober ization of the economy we're all working for below minimum wage at the end of the day if you factor in the ecological devastation of the dancing chicken effect and all the cruelty prone eggs who escapes this nightmare we call post-industrial is post ironic post calling fantasizes ation and infantile ization and narcissistic cause i reality here now something to think about during the break because we have to take a break when we come back we're going to talk to dr michael hudson ok. well we'll go to a do you team coverage when you've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of

observed.
