talked about it a lot i think one of the saviors of urban food deserts is having hydroponics and things that are ground and side because you don't lose water you can reuse water you can do tons of things out of it and i think doing those and more indoor environments and letting the land rafts and letting water replete you know repeat itself and clean itself to nature does that but we don't given enough time yeah it's interesting how much it goes back to kind of like big corporate industry you know the idea the we're going to just kind of go through and lay waste of the land because they don't want out of and you know why it's because industrial farms farms and i'll tell you what they don't do they don't rotate crops properly they don't take care of the water they don't care care of the land the way that farmers family farms the one person or a family running it they did they looked at the water because that was the water they drank they save the land is that was their land they needed it for generations to survive they cared industrial farming companies don't care they'll just go buy something new and

a lot of people like argue what about the ark refers there's tons of aki work there all right of the world as yeah that's the problem even the ones that like the super frac ing is putting things on merit you know it's like you look at all of us there's things we're not keeping them safe either. the chair of the u.n. water report and all of those points out that up until now civilisation is pretty much relied on human built great infrastructure as we talk about to improve water management and that in doing so is often brushed aside traditional indigenous knowledge that a brace is greener approaches and in the face of accelerated consumption increasing environmental degradation and the multi-faceted impacts of climate change we clearly need new ways to manage big demands of our fresh water resources i like where they're thinking here talk to people who've been doing it for centuries thank you there are answers all right as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics you cover the facebook and twitter see our poll showed r t v dot com coming up we present the second part of the discussion.

u.s. involvement in syria with former cia agent philip giraldi and that our teams to the chavez for his was the latest of york city's efforts to stop the opioid epidemic you're invited state state to watch. now fulfilled a theory is a hypothesis to heard about the use of those. association a ninety five to ninety eight percent i find it incredible if approached is a very serious that if. this is the mechanisms that are a favorable strewed to chemical weapons or constrain she played a role in conflict mediation then i think we have to look at the facts and the

procedures for the sort of plea agreement she will never move to move still be here right now. well you know that they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean there in the small ball it sticks it hard push it and it's. not. the little self to big fish already ninety percent of the dot and it won't because their. contribution scoops seventy five tons and they do it several times a day with the cleats oh you get an idea. we have to understand we can all stay still and just. be witness the

deal going on because. i'm doing this because i want them for the future world to future generations to have out and enjoy the ocean we have. america first bring the troops home and no more of heloise regime change wars may have been the basic platform that donald trump ran and won on in two thousand and sixteen but it certainly hasn't been more of an empty slogan for his actual administration exhibit a syria where the trump white house has gone further than barack obama ever did and attack a government forces ordering airstrikes against russian troops and refusing to ever put the aim of regime change completely to rest and even as some opponents of

intervention rejoiced in announcements by the white house that it would cease arming syria's rebels the only reason for that decision has apparently been that washington simply intended to replace rebel proxies with more and more of our own very own american uniform wearing troops so to break down what these escalations may mean for the syrian conflict and the slowly dying prospects of peace johnstone sat down earlier with former cia officer philip. in terms of the actual. potential for a world war because certainly within syria itself it looks like a world war with the russians on one side the americans essentially on the other that all kinds of disasters weaponry and including chemical weapons being used and many people civilians included being killed and displaced it's a horror but this could ultimately escalate to something bigger because as u.s. presence increases in syria we've seen over the years the potential for conflict

with with russia whether it be russian jets or actual personnel grows what is the what is the what is the ultimate outcome that we could see as drunk as collates into conflict and could this ultimately escalate into a full scale war with russia. well i think your your concerns are correct i think that this could escalate i i would hope that there are sensible enough people both in washington and moscow to keep it from escalating into anything like the general conflict but i do and i do believe that there will be. certainly smaller conflicts smaller fires in syria and also with iran i think this is in the cards i think the aggressive positions that the united states and let's not so not forget israel israel is a player in this and israel has made very clear that it's it's virtually on

a war footing with with lebanon and with syria and the ultimate target is iran we have american soldiers for the first time based in israel and they would be. you know part and parcel of whatever takes place there and speaking of israel what what does the stablish mean of the u.s. diplomatic base in jerusalem going to mean for active sort of israeli protest across the region middle eastern activism potential more terrorism things like this . well i think the shift or the recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital by the united states will have ramifications but i don't think they've started to play out very much yet i suspect that we will see this as part of a bigger. series of scenarios let's let's perhaps describe it that way in terms of

the u.s. interaction with the various countries in the region like jordan saudi arabia egypt and also of course the frontline states like syria lebanon and iran but as i say it's not really it's not really developed yet i suspect of course that this will not be good for us since this essentially only satisfies a certain right wing faction in israel and benjamin netanyahu it really doesn't do anything for us and it really doesn't do anything good for israel. till the final question really is about. president putin last week basically issued a statement about the the new weaponry that russia is unveiling basically a very strategic long range cruise missiles that have to have a nuclear capability as well as submarines things that he believes would basically protect russia in the event of war and certainly as russia's been surrounded by the

american anti-ballistic missile systems into form into nato and former soviet countries. do you think that putin's announcement of new technologies is going to potentially deter further gresham from the u.s. in the region basically it does merely surround russia including syria. i think that the vladimir putin's announcement about the new weapon systems is a game changer i think that's true to a certain extent. i assume be speaking the truth when he describes the capabilities of the systems it will basically know the protective missile systems that the u.s. has been putting into eastern europe and elsewhere and it means that the the us cannot even contemplate a some kind of first strike or a limited war against russia which i think is a good thing but on the other hand it also raises the threshold for people to get

involved in situations like in syria where someone makes a mistake or there is some kind of conflict that escalates from a minor incident and this is what we're getting a diversion dangerous ground i think putin's call for the u.s. to again start negotiating ballistic missile treaties like we had in effect until the bush administration is a correct call. phil thank you so much for joining me today. ok thanks for having me on. members of congress are expected to introduce over two dozen bills aimed at ending the opioid epidemic in the near future after a recent push by the white house to highlight the issue and make it a legislative priority the public health crisis has struck many communities across the nation over the past decade but new york city stands out as the highest profile metropolis struggling with addiction and overdoses the big apple is come out as

a battlefield of ideas and approaches when it comes to fighting opioid abuse but the race to find solutions proving to be a political challenge for new york's mayor and governor who both reportedly harbor higher ambitions for national office in the future artie's twenty chavez reports of some of the local developments in this national crisis. new york lawmakers are seeking new alternatives when it comes to fighting the ongoing opioid crisis that is sweeping the nation from opioid intervention options to better access to treatment programs no idea is too big or too small when it comes to tackling this deadly epidemic the opioid crisis is in cities and it's in rural areas it's in big small states and small states on the east coast and on the west coast and everything in-between. there's a national crisis the opioid crisis continues to plague the city killing hundreds of new yorkers every year in an effort to combat the problem mayor bill de blasio announced an additional twenty two million dollars to go toward the city's efforts

to combat the opiate crisis i think it's a good thing it's a lot of money spent but when you think of how much money an addict is a cost to society whether you put him in jail or or treatment programs it should of course aside regardless so treatment is a great thing i applaud it as a law enforcement official i applaud treatment the new services calls for expanding impatient programs at hospitals establishing a specialized training institute by the spring expanding crisis response services and distributing five thousand overdose reversal kits to affected homes to be handed out by the new york fire department the four year plan is expected to save approximately four hundred lives we believe that some of these tools are really working and as we continue to see evidence that it's working we're going to keep investing meanwhile the brooklyn d.a. has initiated a plan of his own eric and solace with the help of new york city's police commissioner james o'neil announced the launch of a pre-arrangement diversion program to assist people who suffer from drug

dependency and misuse under project clear individuals arrested for misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance will be offered the opportunity to receive treatment and other community based services before their initial court appearance if they meaningfully participate in the d.a.'s office would then decline persecution of their cases before they ever appear in court and their arrest would be sealed if a drug court tells a set of dope here and there's nobody by it's worth nothing. so treatment for treatment is that is key to this we lock up the big guys we lock up drug users to federal government but it's key that the we draw up the user side and there are many people get to because these really root to spit people can't make any money while the president said that his administration is looking into the problem of overprescribing drugs and reducing the supply of illicit drugs he is also calling for tougher penalties for drug traffickers saying that if one person

in the u.s. can get the death penalty or life in prison for shooting one person a similar punishment should be given to a drug dealer who potentially kills thousands reporting in new york one of the charges are to. on monday september fifth one nine hundred seventy seven at twelve fifty six coordinated universal time voyager one launched from earth with a mission to explore jupiter and saturn on august twenty twelve voyager one made universal history by becoming the first human made spacecraft to enter interstellar space aboard it was a radioactive clock and time capsule in the form of the now famous golden record with paul sarmast and by an area bad for our neighbors and space to eventually find amazingly eight avoid to make ten main instruments are still in working order for off to save power but are operational and only into the plasma science system in the photo polar riveter subsystem are off due to degraded performance however while voyager has been sending back data it's the rosters have been out of service

since the one nine hundred eighty that is until the team at nasa jet propulsion lab decided to test the backup thrusters on voyager want to try what they call a trajectory correction maneuver as a testament to voyager one stuff is work extending across mission well into twenty twenty five when its power source is expected to be depleted and so it is sense it is also a national poetry day this week i'll leave you with a verse by william wordsworth of. space this stars are mansions built by nature's hand and happily there the spirits of the blessed well clothed in radiance they are mortal vest huge ocean show within his yellow strand habitation marvelously planned for life to occupy in love and give a little space and a little poetry to kind of bring our show to a close. enough imo mistaken i'm sorry for those that may have missed star trek the motion picture it back in one nine hundred eighty when i came out spoiler alert the

voyager one was like the main crux about plot because i was but the idea was that it just kept going into space eventually became sentience for all the information that it like accumulated and that's why it was so late when i heard like no we're just doing worse yes incredible would been something that little bits of information but you know they can do anything about moving and there's only so much power on it so it's like what we got is what we get but i mean i think most of anyone who can grow is made mentally and seven is the haven't oh like myself very tough i mean it's like old muscle cars man make it in america you were going to and the boys have a lot to live up to because they all you know they don't agree if they're going to start shooting stuff up in the space that they'll be back in like twenty five thirty seven you know i mean there are a shit all the new stuff is great the the what the the stuff like voyager and forwards are to accomplish is miles and miles beyond where the new sort of things are but that's having respect for that it's out there giving us pretty amazing

affirmation of well everybody that is our show for today speaking of amazing information to remember everyone in this world we are told that we are loved enough so i tell you all i love you i am tired rover and on top of the launch of those talks another great day in the. around the world there's always a battle going on with the central bankers and the commercial bankers all this time to repress the population in one way or another recall the global insurrection against banker occupation we've been saying this for years on the shelf so now we're going to look at it from the puerto rican perspective they are similarly being oppressed by the overlords of finance and they are reacting in

a very specific puerto rican way. to. this prison for a single purpose. they have a super. training very young. eight months of intensive school. rats. and they save lives. for a world cup 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. guys i know you on the us he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure to come out you have to go meet the center of the tell with you and do so little the great the greatest good

you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down there we have to go. a low as well as i want to you know and i'm really happy to join us for the two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one come on both appreciate me to just say the review theology team's latest edition to make up as we go down. look.

russia says it regards the poisoning of former spies said basically paul in the u.k. as an act of terror and the british government must provide more information. a rocket kills at least forty four people in a damascus shopping district in one of the deadliest rebel attacks on the syrian capital. and leaked documents reveal the extent of the us national security agency's efforts to track and identify point news and. this is r.t. international coming to you live from moscow and take on creech thank you for

joining us. the russian foreign ministry says it considers the poisoning of former double agent. and his daughter to be an act of terrorism the ministry held a briefing on the case with several ambassadors attending. to reports. the foreign ministry spokesperson said a number of things firstly he reiterated that russia could have in no way benefited from the attack moscow says they consider this to be a terror. attack secondly they stated that the u.k. refused to cooperate with russia which is against the convention on prohibition of chemical weapons and he mentioned the attack could have been orchestrated by another party but then clarified that russia is not pinning the blame on anyone and asked that his words not be distorted let's take a quick look. we see that the british authorities are becoming ever more nervous and it's clear why the clock is ticking they have backed themselves into a corner they will eventually have to provide an increasing number of unanswered

questions we expect from london and from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons and official. developments regarding the scruple case we need comprehensive conclusions and detailed confirmations a spokesperson for the defense ministry also spoke out he said that it seems that britain is afraid to conduct an unbiased investigation into the script of case and that the u.k. presented no proof that gas illegibly used to poison script was made in russia he went on to say that the formula of the subs and not the child was published by scientist. who is working with the us government the russian foreign ministry went on to talk specifically about britain and said it was and is one of the states that has been implementing a program on the development of new chemical weapons since one thousand nine hundred seventy s. he added that the porton down lap in britain is used to conductance parents involving use of chemical weapons now we did have a reaction from

a london embassy spokesperson who stated that moscow doesn't have to present anything in terms of scope or case but is ready for a joint investigation london has proposed russia a dialogue over this case however it doesn't see a constructive approach from moscow now the ambassadors that did not attend were britain u.s. and france britain and the u.s. sent embassy workers instead a crimp spokesperson reacted to the u.k. decision by saying that it showed unwillingness to hear. russia's aunt says to its questions that moscow today has denied any involvement in the attempted murders of so can you describe the russian former intelligence officer and his daughter you were allegedly poisoned insults three both of them remain in a critical condition and so this diplomatic spat that has gone on for a while now looks to continue to go on for some time. well meanwhile the u.k. is foreign secretary boris johnson says he believes the script poisoning eats inexorably back to the kremlin he cited

a number of allegations but claims he doesn't want a new cold war. i want to be very clear that we do not wish to engage in a new cold war i deprecate that term i don't want i remember them of the. they got. the rods floatable. putin is going to use it the way you see marking thirty six years i think the comparison with nine hundred thirty six is is right. russians as ever responded with denial distortion and delay and that is their tactic. this information middling in european election campaigns to say nothing of election campaigns. a general feeling that russia has got to be moved. and independent

journalist joe lauria says the british government has a responsibility to back up its allegations against russia. that's a p.r. effort on barres johnson's part actually look the british government is not treating this event as a criminal investigation this using it as an opportunity to spread more bellicose rhetoric against russia now during that meeting in moscow the british did not send their ambassador they sent the worker their name emira nodding and she said that russia has offered us no explanation how this agent came into the u.k. well it's up to the accusing party to prevent present the evidence first and then the defense will counter that so britain has presented presented no evidence whatsoever of russia's involvement in this to this point if this thing does die down it will be followed because britain didn't come up with any real evidence at all just go away if they do it will be a major major incident obviously that russia would have to add to that if it does die down something else is going to happen you know something else will happen in

the next few months that the american british governments a particular will make as much out of it as they can to get china to david to try to deal with them eyes and we can have the russian government. u.s. president donald trump has sparked outrage among some politicians in parts of the media for congratulating flatter me a person on his victory in the russian election on twitter trying to describe the reaction as crazed and said getting along with russia was a good thing he added that russia could help in dealing with many shared problems with i guess the of picks up the story. trump's gone and done it again something completely normal but it struck so what the hell lay into him he called putin and congratulated him despite very clear instructions not to literally his brief said do not congratulate in capital letters according to an anonymous

source not that that bothers anyone these days do not say congratulations on capital letters and the president gets on the phone with them and says congratulations you shouldn't be congratulating president putin for the sham election but he just did it anyway dangerous strong man who is threatening western democracy that requires a strong sponsor so dark some call of up to say at a boy putin's critics in the haters bristled with indignation john mccain's twitter account always hyper sensitive to all things putin blew up poor it was mccain teed off president trump insulted every russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election to determine the country's future probably best not to show mccain the margin by which putin won he's old and frail but twitter o'boy twitter do not congratulate actually trended and they came up with some pretty

funny stuff do not stare into the sun followed by a picture of donald trump apparently staring into the sun that silly and not good for you then a picture of mike pence touching something that clearly has a do not touch sign on it funny because he shouldn't be doing that and this guy has do not congratulate on his organ donor card so if he dies don't congratulate him get it come to think of it i've seen funniest stuff but it's trump they'll take it and for. force any opportunity to bash him even if he does something normal that's called protocol and there are many countries from around the world that when someone. wins if you will an election that you pick up the phone and you place that phone call angle of merkel and demand your macro also congratulated putin many others did too some god like for it some didn't it's nothing personal but thing to

do with like or dislike just protocol you're going to have to work together anyway but these days not even that flies john claud younger president of the european commission he got flack nor seating and shameful they call it now a few years ago they called it diplomacy but down with the old let's all behave like angsty teenagers and post funny pictures on twitter. at least forty four people have been killed in damascus after a series of missile struck a market in a government controlled neighborhood. this is all about a bit of my relatives are injured my wife and daughter are in surgery right now. the. the it's only moma and my son told me he wanted to

celebrate mother's day with me so i told him let's go to the market she bought a cake i was buying sweets when the explosion happened i saw only a lot of dust and my children under the table. in the. back has done my daughter visited me on mother's day she is five months pregnant on our way home from the doctor was told by the market that was right before the show and my daughter and i were wounded and my four year old grandson was cured and the shell and he was hit by the blast wave and it took us a long time to find his body. we are innocent people first the militants destroyed my house and then they killed my wife what do they want from us they call us infidels and in reality it's them not us. the syrian government has accused terrorists in eastern gears of carrying out the shelling local journalist.
