a democrat and being stuck in a trump presidency for a year is must be horrible waking up every day guessing that what russia is songe boughts or hackers have cooked up today cambridge analytic i had powerful connections to candidate trump including one time top adviser steve bannon and billionaire donor robert mercer so presidential son in law jared cushion or and consultant brad parr scale brought in the company which is now accused of utilizing data from fifty million facebook users without permission facebook was how donald trump was going to win wait a sec something's wrong where's the bad guy who do we blame this on. there it is questions are also swirling about a possible link to russian metal cambridge c.e.o. reached out to julian assange of wiki leaks seeking access to e-mails from hillary clinton's private server there's no evidence ricky leached had such information but

wiki leaks was releasing e-mails from the computers of other democrats which authorities say were hacked by russians and another trump advisor roger stone great innings i actually communicated with this what how do you even make the connection what's your logic if someone speaks to a songe their russian agent there is zero connection here other than the word russia being in every other sentence there is only one explanation see and then report must have been put together by a random generator literally this explanation makes more sense than cnn's report at savage the d.n.c. oil trump the russians cambridge had because we've got the keywords just fill the spaces with whatever. he also directly message to russian hacker he says he did

nothing wrong and despite another claim that cambridge had ties to a russian oil company the campaign insists there were never any links to russia are you comfortable that the trunk campaign through their cameras analytical had a connection to wiki leaks. they did have a connection wiki leaks let me demonstrate if you are of average height and your birthday is in july you are closely tied to a sound see how easy it is let's do this again if you like snow and the russians like snow you are aligned with russia or if you want lots of money and all the guards have lots of money you are susceptible to russian influence it's all nonsense but who cares it's about getting the key words out

there about confusing and confounding not explaining or investigating he words people key words the russians everywhere. president trump has replaced his national security adviser former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton will be taking up the post replacing former army officer in charge make master parties come up as more. he is the third national security advisor to the donald trump administration in the last fourteen months john bolton will be replacing h.r. mcmaster as the national security advisor to donald trump the president of united states now john bolton is a longtime advocate of the use of force against iran and against north korea now those are two countries that are rather vital for the trumpet ministration in the coming months in may donald trump will have to weigh in on the iran deal the j c p

o a a the nuclear agreement that was agreed on now he'll have to weigh in on that deal and whether or not it will continue and furthermore the usa is on the verge of carrying out the historic meeting the first meeting between a head of state of the usa and the leader of the democratic people's republic of korea so at this point a lot of questions remain let's take a listen to some of what trump has said in recent months about iran and north korea and what his new and long well known national security advisor has said i think they want to do something i think they want to make peace i think it's time so it could be a long and unproductive meeting or it could be assured unproductive meeting we hope that these new measures directed at the arena of dictatorship will compel the government to really evaluate its pursuit of terror at the expense of its people well i think he's on the verge of making a mistake i think his advisors are pushing him in the wrong direction you know honestly the certification question is utterly irrelevant john bolton served as the

u.s. ambassador to the united nations under the administration of george w. bush and his appointment was quite controversial at that time for statements he had made harshly criticizing the united nations now on the campaign trail donald trump was quite critical of military intervention isn't by the united states saying that he wanted to stop toppling regimes however john bolton is a long time advocate for. military interventions around the world so questions remain about what this will mean with big developments on the horizon regarding iran and north korea former u.s. diplomat jim johnson told us the appointment of john bolton could to aggravate the situation with iran. a lot of people mistakenly said that during the campaign trump said he would tear up the agreement because it was a very bad agreement he did exactly said that he said it was a very bad agreement but he likes to make bad agreements good i think he came in

with the notion that if he was threatening and up we could get the europeans on board and pressure the russians and the chinese to say that we want to add missile technology and not threatening israel a lot of other things to the agreement to change the agreement to something he likes better maybe that's still their game plan maybe they think if they have somebody who is sufficiently bellicose they can scare the europeans and decided with the americans i'm changing the agreement and not have to pull out of it but i have no doubt now that regime change is going to be a cardinal conscious goal of american policy edge paling that there would be an attempt to do so by military means. staying with the u.s. president although trump has imposed a new import tariffs on china in a move that has intensified fears of a global trade war trump signed an order on the new tariffs in the white house now the white house said that the actions were necessary to counter unfair competition from china beijing has said it is ready to retaliate. on the terrorist target more

than one hundred types of chinese goods ranging from clothing to electronics there are estimated to be worth up to sixty billion dollars the one hundred billion dollars trade deficit with china is more than double the u.s. deficit with the rest of the world and is the main reason trump cited for his new tariffs the other being the problem of intellectual property and in technology theft over the past year trumps unpredictable approach to china has left many scratching their heads. money. we can't continue to allow china to rape our country. so you can have this. relationship you know there's going to be conflict but we have a very good relationship people say we have the best relationship of any president president we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen

president she was enjoying it i view them as a friend i have tremendous respect for president xi we have a great relationship. we're now joined by asia specialist tim below ten thanks for being with us here on our team international. this is going to this is an interesting one we're seeing the markets fluctuate because of this already the chinese government has said that it is ready to retaliate with all the legal measures to protect our interests that's a quote there is this the start of the new trade wars well who will be here to think the chinese are playing it but it's awfully at the moment they've talked about three billion tariffs on three billion worth of imports from the united states in a two stage process sort of testing the waters they talk about using the w t o as as the mechanism so they are playing it playing it very coolly.

but you know i think trade war is. is very much there much on the cards now the u.s. stock markets don't like this at all they've reacted negatively with the dow jones falling by more than seven hundred points what's got investors so concerned. well i mean a trait war of course is just very bad for business it's a sort of a lose lose situation. they're not going to really do much about their lack of competitiveness with with china one of the reasons for that. so there's going to be a lower amount of trade with china and that sort of knocks through the international system so you know it's bad for business so you know stocks and shares. react then go and go down. it's easy to get lost in all of the

talk of you know companies and tariffs and billions these are numbers that the regular people don't wrap their minds around so if we break it down for ordinary consumers in the united states what does this mean. well i mean for ordinary consumers if you have put on a tariff on imports from china then that raises prices so consumers pay more. so from the point of view of the people who you know shop wal-mart all have you know they presumably are going to they're going to suffer and of course you know by definition it's the irony is it's a war of people in many respects who buy goods from china and they're the people who voted for trump so it's a familiar story it's a chance supporters who get. hit first or if they could only figure that one out. see what those consequences are now. about china itself could this encouraged

china to turn away from the united states and maybe boost its presence in other markets. well nobody can turn away from the united states united states because of our biggest market in the world so it can't be ignored on the other hand of course the chinese are moving away that versifying you've got the ability to load initiative and so forth in this particular case yes no doubt they are they will look to other markets to make up the losses in the in the american one i mean the. american telling us no they are being you know so much the biggest country in the world they forget that other countries even though they're weak can respond can retaliate and and this is what sort of course china would do in various ways these are long term problems of course won't go away the long term problems relate

to us lack of of competitiveness route so that it quite deep right temporal author researcher and specialist i really appreciate you breaking this down for us in a way that is manageable famicom he said thanks for being with us thank you. i've your opinion is recalling its ambassador to russia over the poisoning of a former double agent in the u.k. that is despite german chancellor angela merkel saying that the e.u. should hold off on action against russia until an international problem has concluded earlier the european council condemned moscow for its alleged role in the poisoning of sergei scream paul with a nerve agent now the council which sets e.u. policy echoed the views of u.k. prime minister theresa may who gave a strongly worded statement during a summit in brussels. a staged a brazen and reckless attack against the united kingdom when it is tempted to the murder of two people on the streets of seoul spring i'll be raising this issue with

my counterparts today because it's clear that the russian threat does not respect the waters and indeed the incident in salzburg was part of a pattern of russian aggression against europe and its neighbors from the western balkans to the middle east now human rights lawyer dan quality told us that recalling diplomats at a time of extreme tension is potentially dangerous i think it would be very dangerous i think it would be a very bad move for countries in the e.u. to call their diplomatic representatives out of washington to shine a pardon like russia during these very. unstable tarbes i just feel is completely responsible it's very regrettable i think we need all the diplomatic tools we have to relate to russia and to talk to russia and of all diplomatic forces out of russia would be counterproductive and

quite dangerous at this point. in the russian blame game has expanded into areas once considered beyond a political point scoring our london correspondent on us to see if you're going to find an educational project with an anti russian twist. what's better than helping the young to try to maneuver the ever tricky world of global current affairs. of the day is an online news service that is used by one in three u.k. schools teachers my variance from subscribing schools user articles and activities across all subjects for lessons homework research. here's one handed to tory and provided by the service to help educate the young and broaden their horizons talks of putin on mission to poison west ouch and among questions to discuss is putin europe's most dangerous leader since hitler class this gus.

can help students out topics like the ongoing spy scandal where an investigation is still underway are broken down despite this incriminating evidence of international outrage milly smirks and everything in case there is confusion still there is a dictionary included which explains the meaning of the words marks surely this teaches you to put things into perspective not the chalk and blitzkrieg are also in here a military tactic designed to crush the enemy with overwhelming force a short space of time coincidentally made famous by hitler in world war two just to make it a bit easier to connect the dots brutal assassinations cyber attacks as well of plotting the downfall of western democracy also laid out as food for thought a you decide section let students consider the following questions is putin the most dangerous man in the world did the cold war ever end as well as what

impression does putin give about what russia is like the day helps students develop information literacy and critical thinking and prepares them for the challenges ahead in the ever changing world critical thinking is key the toxic putin class is dismissed. and if they see it you're going to see lot of it. cyber security firm has identified a highly secretive piece of malware used to infiltrate the computers of intelligence targets but other people may have also been infected as well has not identified the people or organization behind the malware but media company cyber scoop alleges it's part of a classified u.s. program citing unnamed u.s. officials now they are also quoted as saying that the spy or where was used to target terrorists by collecting information from their computers explained why that didn't stop it from revealing the mower but it to act in remained eate all forms of

malicious programs regardless of origin or purpose furthermore the company does not whitelist any malware samples not even malware used for so-called legal surveillance one can easily imagine the situation in which such malware falls into the wrong hands and can be used to launch attacks against law enforcement were just regular users code named slingshot the malware is the main purpose is cyber espionage is able to retrieve large amounts of data including images and passwords from infected computers unsuspecting users are targeted through compromised routers and targets of the malware have been detected in african and middle eastern countries it appears to have compromised the computers of individual users but others including the government and its to two sions may have also been breached we spoke with a security expert about how this tool works. but this was an of the most never done

have a special yeah it's a sophisticated malware we discovered it last year after examining it for some time we can confidently say that it is intended for cyber espionage because all it does is collect data from your computer what makes this malware so dangerous is that it stayed under the radar for quite a long time our estimate is that this malware has been operational for about six years in other words the operators of this malware were using it obtaining data and remaining unnoticed because this malware is so advanced and uses many tricks to avoid detection we detected about one hundred infected computers mostly in africa especially in kenya and a few more in libya and afghanistan we can see here use this malware all we know is that the people who created it speak english very well because the code contains some text lines and even brief descriptions of portions of code which are written in very good english. now the second son of the later libyan leader moammar gadhafi will run for president if elections are held this year saif al islam gadhafi is

spokes person confirmed the plans after months of speculation so father was driven from power and killed in two thousand and eleven despite holding no official position so it was described as the de facto prime minister during his father's role saif was later held captive for six years before being released last year amid political unrest we heard exclusively from his lawyer about the presidential bid. saif al islam has lots of supporters they are ordinary people there are even those who were against moammar gadhafi back in two thousand and eleven and now they support the views of his son the situation we have in libya now is the result of the destruction of all the state institutions not only the toppling of the regime forty countries did against libya back then our country was bombarded and shelled all the military and civilian infrastructure was destroyed many civilians were killed and now saif al islam has put forward

a comprehensive overview of the situation in libya that's a reform project which will bring calm back to libya there are many young patriots in libya now they are so enthusiastic they're not concerned about political affiliations the main thing they care about is a patriotic spirit and they see it in the reforms by saif al islam they view them as an effective tool to fight corruption. well after the nato led incursion civil war has raged in libya since well michael duffy was overthrown with a power vacuum two competing governments are vying for control of the country and the conflict has led to a massive migraine crisis widespread terrorism as well as violence among tribal militias now the lawyer reveals life is still in danger. about saif al islam is whereabouts are kept secrets for security reasons as his lawyer i would do everything to protect saif al islam from all anti libyan plots masterminded by the countries interfering in libyan affairs as promised saif al islam will make

a speech when the right time comes then everything will be revealed libya will return back to its roadmap will become a democratic sovereign state a state where the law will triumph libya will no longer be a country of organized crime illegal migration human trafficking as it is described in the media we will defend the interests of the libyan people and will protect its resources which cannot be squandered the libyan people must decide their future themselves. but it does for me i will be back in about half an hour with a look at your headlines there was. a white house furious over leaks we'll talk about it on this edition of politic.

politicking on larry king president trump and his chief of staff john kelly are reportedly theorists over the leak to the press that mr trump disregarded his national security teams advice during a two zero call the russian president vladimir putin john kelly called the leak unexceptable and reportedly believes it was a deliberate attempt to embarrass the president insiders say the incident has reinforced donald trump's long held belief that groups within the government even inside his own administration are working to undermine him. of course none of this is addresses the lingering issue of why the president ignored the advice of the national security team lots to talk about we will begin with. the representative from florida so describe bullmoose republican throwback to teddy roosevelt and he joins us from temple oh what's the what's the big board in your mind david is it

that the leads were went out or that the president didn't listen to the advice of the national security people. you know it's really both and first it was something that kind of feeds into a suspicion among many in the country as to the relationship between donald trump and putin and whether or not a u.s. president any president should be congratulating putin on the election victory but to your point secondly larry the fact that something that is so closely held to the president's own desk was leaked out raises a lot of concern regardless of party or political affiliation and i think there's question today was it somebody within the national security apparatus who has been alleged that perhaps somebody tried to undermine donald trump but we also have to look at the team that donald trump has surrounded himself and their lack of experience that this is a president who has been very cavalier and surrounded himself with people with no

government experience many frankly with hollywood experience or television experience who are not used to handling classified information so eventually we will probably find out where the leak came from but either way the fact that something leaked out of the white house of this nature is of grave concern should be at least to many americans now about the call the trump. trump himself tweeted that fake news media is crazed because they want him to his story to trump things better relations with russia is more important don't you. yeah you know this is this is one that cuts both ways between diplomacy and protecting american values and whether it was russia or any other country in the world this is in fact the fine art of diplomacy we know that there have been actions taken by either the nation state that is russia or significant players in the russian either political

or economic sphere they have taken actions that have been adverse to u.s. interests and the u.s. intelligence agencies have concluded that that is the case congress passed sanctions to be imposed upon russia donald trump has been very leery of doing that and it has raised this continual question in the united states ever since the emergence of donald trump whether there is more to his relationship with russia or not so yes we need warmer relations and donald trump is correct about that but we also need a president in the mind of the american people that confronts adversaries and in this case apparently he failed to do so. will get together with. you know you know this is a similar question to north korea there certainly putin is not on the level of the north korean leader the question is should we be excited encouraged about warmer relations with anybody even those that sometimes were adverse to the answer is yes

i think there is a question among many in the country whether or not president trump is up to the task of understanding the finer parts of dealing directly with somebody like putin at the end of the day i think every country wishes for peace instead of conflict and so talks are good because they dances hopefully towards peace and not conflict what's the greater threat right now robin all these three women. you know it very well could be the three women because we saw that during the clinton presidency something that started as an investigation into a land deal in arkansas all to mentally unraveled over the president committing perjury in a case related to women and in this case i don't know that bob miller's his authority would ever reach these three women but frankly they're going to take parallel tracks and i do think at the end of the day the president if he ends up under oath is going to trip him self up the big question here larry is what happens in the u.s. elections in november if democrats take control the house and the president

stumbles either with bob mueller or in a legal way with any of these women to democrats move to hold impeachment hearings whether or not they alternately vote on impeachment or not what do you make of trump criticizing moeller by name. i think what trump has succeeded in doing is he has undermined bob miller and terms of credibility with the republican base i think donald trump should leave alone if donald trump is in a sense he should act like it but his continued attacks on bob muller raise further suspicions but listen if bob miller were to deliver a report today to the republican controlled congress i'm not sure republicans in congress do anything with it because the republican base is probably going to side with donald trump regardless of what comes out of it what do you expect republicans to do in twenty eight. in those states where he's strong obviously the the

incumbents the base will stay with him but what about the rest of the republicans running. you know i think the agenda is already baked for congressional republicans and frankly it's going to be on the tax cut because there's little else they can run on if they presented deregulatory agenda that might work with the chamber of commerce and business community it doesn't really work in terms of your main street voters and they're wrestling republicans are wrestling right now with this the roshan of support among white voters compared to four years ago among suburban voters compared to four years ago republicans are wrestling with the fact that all the energy is on the left and republicans on the hill frankly are terrified because all signs are pointing to a democratic takeover of the house there is very little good news in here in this for republicans right now if you run and embrace trump you hold your base but you lose the independents if you distance yourself from trump you might pick up the independents but you lose your base donald trump has redefined republican politics

and nobody has found a way to be successful except for donald trump in this new republican party if democrats take the house and you're a former member of the august body you expect them to start impeachment proceedings . i certainly think there will be hearings and here's what i mean by that but we know based on where muller is investigating it that it at least raises questions of what if there is either financial exposure to a foreign nation state or what if the president has obstructed justice or asked somebody to obstruct justice on his behalf the first step in congress is a pretty simple one and i expect democrats would certainly do this it is to hold a hearing with presidential scholars with constitutional scholars with impeachment scholars to begin to talk in the open of what rises to the level of an impeachable offense now in some cases it may just be a hearing and nothing moves past that but i think we would at least see democrats

move to hold a hearing and listen in terms of the national narrative within the united states that in itself is going. they create great anxiety among voters that you have a congress beginning to at least talk about whether or not impeachment might be something they consider against this president david as always thanks for your time today. great to be with you larry thank you donald trump is currently facing three way legal pressure from a porn star a playboy bunny and a one time apprentice competitor each a different case each with legal pitfalls for the president. as trying to saw some of this out with alan dershowitz constitutional scholar harvard law professor emeritus he's also a bestselling author his newest book is the case against b.d.s. why singling out is willful by god is and is semitic and any p.c. is an old indian friend he joins me via skype ok i'll

a manhattan judge says donald trump must face a defamation suit that he has no immunity from civil litigation instinct corps and is subject to the laws for purely private acts do you agree with that decision well the supreme court certainly agrees with that decision in the paula jones case they ruled that way in relation to bill clinton bill clinton then made the most serious legal era that any lawyer could ever advise a client to do instead of settling the case which he could easily have done he allowed his client to be deposed about his sex life and nobody should allow any president to be deposed about his sex life so i'm confident that clinton's lawyers will figure out a legal way settlement do it through taking legal action to preclude a deposition of a sitting president based on his sex like i would think that donald trump would learn the lesson from bill clinton who came let's say he learned and how will that look when it looked like settlements would have looked like ducking you know well

you know well i'd have to take that you have to consider not what the best alternative is but what the least worst alternative is the worst alternative is to sit for a deposition subject yourself to a perjury charge which is what happened to clinton subject yourself to incredibly embarrassing detail revelations questions that you don't even know you're going to get perhaps about other women and other people so i think he has to take the bad press that he would get for a day or two by settling but be the settle or run out the legal string as far as he can by bringing all kinds of legal talent. just some of these cases ever ready been settled out of maybe subject to statute of limitations claim so i think all the legal issues have to run through a bit before he sits down for a deposition he should pay the two dollars only didn't listen to national security advisors on his call to putin do you think it listened to his lawyers on this well

you know he has a style of dealing with national leaders so he didn't listen to his national security advisers what he said he wants to sit down with the leader of north korea sounds to me like that was probably a good decision i can't criticize him for congratulating putin he's not the first president to congratulate a dictator remember and when franklin roosevelt was asked why he was supporting the dictator. of cuba he said well he's our s.o.b. so we're dick we're supporting him we've learned the lesson of trying to you know get regime change when we take out bad people exadata hussein and get worse take out the leaders of libya and get worse take out the leaders of other countries and get worse so you know you deal with what you have so i'm not going to be criticizing trump for for for congratulating an elected official even though you know the election was a farce from quoting you this week and what you said and he quoted it i think president trump was right when he said they never should have been

a special council appointed because there was no probable cause for believing there was any crime collusion or otherwise or i'm stuck to the justice is that an accurate depiction of your position. well it's close what i said and what i've said from the beginning what i said the day after the special counsel's point it was that it was a mistake to point to special counsel instead they should have appointed a nonpartisan commission of inquiry to look into the entire russian situation and to come up with recommendations as to how to avoid repetition that should have consisted of college presidents former justice of the secret in court former heads of executive agencies and corporations people with extraordinary credibility who could have an open hearing on what the russians did everybody knows the russians tried it through the election but by starting by pointing the finger of criminality at the administration i think they didn't serve the interest of the american public so yeah i stand by my position that i think it was a mistake to appoint

a special counsel i don't think we should find a map that constitutional crisis but i don't think it was the right thing to do what a special counsel from the beginning and i said that right from the beginning alan stamer i will miss will have more politicking right after this quick break.

well to max keiser financial survival guide. political our two year president. yes this is what happens to pensions in britain delegates after you watch kaiser report. go back to politics tempted. to see a scholar in harvard law school professor emeritus alan dershowitz trump is just dead and joe di genova a frequent talking head on fox news who would says there's been an active

conspiracy within the f.b.i. to frame trump what do you make of degenerate joining in i think that president trump is playing good cop bad cop he has a couple of lawyers who are playing the inside game being very nice to mole or praising muller providing all the documents and now i think he wants a kind of very tough aggressive bad cop to go on television and perhaps to counterbalance the advice he's getting from other lawyers so that seems to be the tactics employed by hiring dogen's we've been on the opposite side of issues for a long long long time since the jonathan pollard case would you join tom's team i'm an independent commentator like you i call it as i see it when it comes to telling the truth and and being being on nutro you're my mentor you're my guy i want to be

like larry king i don't want to be on anybody side i want to state what i believe and let the chips fall where they may what do you make of this trump. friendship with putin this hesitancy to criticize him about anything. well i think that's worth asking the question today the former head of the cia. said something that was you know very very questionable he said maybe putin has something on him when you hear that from the former head of the cia he darn well better have some evidence that this people will believe he does because he knew or all the bodies were buried he has access to all the wiretaps but i haven't seen any evidence to support that you know he's been our administration the current administration has been critical of putin not as critical as they should be in my view but again how you conduct foreign policy with the second or third strongest country in the world is really up to the president ok. he's

rolled out plans to reduce opioid abuse part of that is to execute drug dealers. there's a lot of controversy about capital punishment and most of the world is ending it i think even public opinion in america is now against it. how do you feel about the drug deal and being executed first of all it's not clear because it's usually united states supreme court has limited who can be executed under the eighth amendment and there's never been a recent case where somebody who hasn't committed a murder or a crime akin to murder has been sentenced to death look these opiate drug dealers a horrible people they should be sent to jail for a long time but i don't see an argument for the death penalty i think it also would mean that's fewer jurors would convict you when you're is know that people are facing the death penalty they impose

a really higher standard so i think it could backfire i'm not in favor of that inside a death penalty but the federal prosecutors never use that well you know when people run for office whether it be bill clinton and or whether john kerry they all said they support the death penalty in limited case but they will learn the lesson of mike dukakis when he was asked about you know what would god forbid happen if his wife had been murdered or were assaulted and he gave the wrong answer and it may have lost in the presidency so every candidate has to stroke how strong they are and they think of the death penalty but when it comes to actually imposing the death penalty it's very very rarely done and it's not done on the worst criminals it's done on the people with the worst lawyers who happen to be in the worst places it's not fairly administered another thing alan in an op ed piece in the new york times a prominent. i think his head of the american jewish congress

a republican wrote a piece about his will and he said the only thing the only solution is the two state solution any of the solution hurts israel i agree completely i completely agree this was wrong latter who is the president the world jewish congress one of the most distinguished jewish leaders in the world who loves israel he's one hundred percent correct there is no other reasonable solution then a two state one where the palestinians and the israelis are separated the palestinians get their own state and most of the west bank the jerusalem has as its capital israel but also you can have a palestinian capital you can have some land exchanges some symbolic return of some alleged refugees the solution is obvious we just have to have the will to sit down and you know abbas has never taken yes for an answer the palestinians been offered statehood so many times and it turned it down the time has come for the

palestinians to sit down negotiate with the israelis in good faith and come up with a compromise two state solution so i support ron the ira completely alan as always thanks for your time today and happy passover thank you happy passover the crown prince of saudi arabia is in the united states this week and he met with president trump tuesday at the white house as talked about some of the takeaways from the prince's visit with joel reuben he served as deputy assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs in the obama administration he's also president of the washington strategy group and he joins me from snowy washington d.c. all right how would you assess the meeting that. the saudi gentleman the crown prince had with the president. well larry it was a good meeting certainly between the crown prince and the president but the meeting itself is not really going to paper over some of the difficulties that the u.s.

and the saudis have right now in the region that our relationship has not really been able to address that there are fire storms brewing in congress on issues like yemen and iran and nuclear issues as well and the split with the qatari so it was a good meeting but there's a lot of work that has to get done in an interview with c.b.s. the crown prince warned that if all that is allowed to build a nuclear bomb saudi arabia will have no choice but to do the same could we have an escalation of a middle east arms race. it's a frightening thought if we were to have that there is already more than enough nuclear weapons in the world over all and certainly the iran nuclear deal of the joint comprehensive plan of action that iran signed with the six leading world powers on this during the obama administration that deal is under duress right now where president trump is arguing he may terminate it in a couple of months but that if that's taken away it's quite possible that we will

no longer have inspectors in iran that iran could unleash its nuclear program and that could in fact spur what what the crown prince was talking about and in such a close proximity with these neighbors just next door to each other that could be very dangerous keach think trump to pull out of the iran deal. i do i think it's getting very close. it could be very problematic for our relationship for the the american relationship with our allies who do not want the u.s. to pull out of this deal none of the european countries russia china they want to keep it as it is and if the u.s. were to go it alone and terminate the deal when we even today in a press briefing the state department said that iran is technically complying with this deal if we were to go it alone and exit the deal it would cause major stress with our allies and really leave iran

a free path to do what it wants to pursue and have them be able to argue that the u.s. brokered a deal and not iran on the same day the crown prince met with the president and top lawmakers the senate stand on the resolution calling on u.s. military to stop eating saudi led bombing in yemen what's the significance of that . well when one talks to people in congress they they call this the most significant vote on the war powers authorization the war powers resolution that is that we've seen in washington since it was inactive nearly forty years ago so what happened yesterday is the beginning i believe of a process in the congress to put more scrutiny on the war in yemen which as you know it's the single greatest humanitarian disaster currently underway in the world near nearly eight million people are on the verge of starvation within one day and the united states we've been backing saudi arabia in its war efforts and it doesn't

seem to have an end so people in congress are concerned there bipartisan efforts to try to stop the funding to get more scrutiny onto it i think this is just going to be the beginning of intensified pressure from congress on this currently unauthorized military support you have said the former state next to wilson is one of the country's worst chief diplomats ever to serve that state ok that's in the two men ready what are your thoughts on. the man who replaced. yes and i think there's no oh no tears are being shed at the state department for the departure of secretary tillerson and incoming secretary pompei oh he will be seen as a fresh eyes and someone new that hopefully will take care of the agency in terms of its people and its budget but there are significant concerns about his policy positions talking about iran as an example he has been very hostile and

argumentative against the nuclear agreement that's a very different position from secretary tillerson and it may cause friction within president trump's cabinet and we have to remember that secretary of defense mattis ports the nuclear agreement so it's not clear if incoming secretary pompei o will lead state perhaps in a more hawkish angle in its policymaking but certainly if he does it's going to to really shine a light on president trump's real gut instinct on foreign policy which he never seemed to be in sync with secretary tillerson on the policy approach so do you expect that of. i think we're going to see some level better in terms of advocating for the state department and recognizing the value of diplomats and the national security value of diplomacy i think that's going to increase pompei o has a track record he was in the military he was in congress he understands the value but he will be more hawkish on his policy positions and that will create tension

points with others in the cabinet and state is not always comfortable with having a secretary who wants to be more focused on a potential aggressive for military oriented activities that will be a departure from what we've seen for the last number of years cysteine years ago this week the united states invaded and that started the war. the ten g.'s apparently evenly divided over what was accomplished by that where do you stand. i think that we can look back at iraq as the single greatest strategic blunder of the modern era on national security policy iraq is broke in it's a country we need significant support and rebuilding we need to be doing what we can to bring reconciliation there it's opened the door to iran and iran has been able to project power across the middle east largely because it no longer had its

adversary to the west we saw thousands of american lives lost hundreds of thousands of iraqi lives and trillions of dollars spent overall so and now the rise of the islamic state through this vacuum of power and control in these countries now that's not to say that saddam hussein was a good guy no wants to argue that but i served at the state department as a career officer in the bush administration during that period of the invasion and i have been working on this for a number of years a good friend of mine an arab american lobbyist mark assad who i know i've spoken with who deeply connected to these issues on iraq talks about the pain and suffering of the iraqi people often and the need to bring reconciliation it's an open wound on american foreign policy and certainly for the people of the middle east joel as always thank you my pleasure thanks for your expertise thank you thank you audience for joining me on this edition of politicking remember you can

i. clashes erupt on the streets of paris during a nationwide strike over president barack. obama. german chancellor angela merkel says you should wait for the results of an international probe into a spy poisoning case in the u.k. before taking any action against russia. the u.k. government was dragged into the cambridge analytical scandal it is revealed that the french ministry worked with the turn company of the firm accused of illegally mining millions of facebook profiles. for the latest on these stories you can head over to dot com stay with us now though for an exclusive interview with president putin spokesman for me that's.

a welcome to sophie and co i'm sophia shevardnadze a legend of good in has won the russian vote is about to embark on a second consecutive term as russia's president what lies ahead for russia and the world now i ask his official spokesperson dmitri preschool for thanks a lot for being on our program it's been a while actually so i guess put it has to win more often for us to talk to you but we've got a lot to talk about let's start with the elections elections and over present couldn't got much more than anyone expected he got more than in two thousand and twelve it's a historical record and i walked over our country here but you know everyone thought he was going to win even the people who didn't like him were like of course is going to win i mean there's like no doubt about it but the bets were like sixty

or sixty five percent but this and did you expect this result. and himself he said that it was quite unexpected for him. and unexpected and. well of course as a president of a country when you have this level of support you fill the level of responsibility because every leader. carries a burden of responsibility of the support. i was in america recently and europe. what they're saying is that because there is so much pressure from the west towards russia that kind of helped consolidate russia's public opinion and health putin gave this much would you agree with that well partly yes of course we can hardly ignore this effect of international pressure pressure coming from outside because this is russia its own standing country with its own traditions historical

traditions and historical mood of people you know they face any pressure coming from outside the unite they unite and be united this strong leader. this happened numerous times during history and of course partly it is happening no because when you when you see unprecedented pressure when you see even craziness coming from some countries you understand what i mean. well people people cannot tolerate it they resist and resisting they unite iran strongly and. the russian constitution limits the president to two consecutive terms now when put in was asked about what he's going to do he said i'm not going to change the constitution yet yet being the keyword well actually he never said that he never said that well of course you have to be very precise when you quote. what was examined otherwise you will say that you are myself. do you take it seriously i

mean seriously he said no no he said the question was. have you ever thought are you planning constitutional reform in this country. consideration i was young and he said not yet but it's not about changing constitution or it's constitutional reform is more complicated thing but he said not yet and you have to be precise in voting so you never did it before you never did it in the year of two thousand and eight and he was enjoying again overwhelming support of the people of this country and presumably should you want that in the year of two thousand and eight he would have easily done that to change the constitution and just the constitution in accordance with his own political

perspectives he never did that and we don't have any slater's reason not to believe him not to trust him not to think that he is not going to just constitution in accordance with his personal political will and the only thing that he's pursuing the only go is go over ensuring a prosperity arising prosperity of the people of this country stability of this country and. well economical breakthrough of this conflict so just to precise when he meant no constitutional reform yet he meant that maybe they will become traditional reform but it wouldn't be tied to his personal staying or not staying in power is that where you're saying well of course ok of course all right i know that after elections i get president this term is going to be focusing on internal affairs are going to focusing on anything that's going on economy. what would that mean for the foreign policy would that isolate russia either further from the rest

of the world you know to the contrary to the contrary. russia and president putin is looking for. repairing relationship where it is possible. and looking for developing and furthering relationship with. various countries especially. in europe. the united states and. proceeding in those in these developed as far. as i read it. the foreign policy is far as i can interpret it. in putting is understanding the main purpose of foreign policy and international relations is to ensure comfortable environment for implementing of domestic topps tasks. so he's quiet he's quiet.

understandable in his domestic tasks he's got quite a clear plan of development and understanding of. secondary toast and so on and so forth so what he needs he needs a support from diplomacy to ensure a comfortable environment we've got a lot of questions about whether there is there room for maneuver ring between west and russia and there is a place for creative diplomacy but first i want to ask you about us and what we do and the consequence is that what we do entails in the west for instance when the president was addressing the nation he unveiled new weapons to the world and said that no one has this kind of weapons they're the best the fastest and he said now the world will listen. do we need to show weapons in order for the world to listen to us and we do not have other means to get our message across. well he's been

trying to. send his message across since the year of two thousand and two or three i don't remember exactly right now but when united states about. and the treaty of anti-missile defense. that was a very very serious threat. for. mutual nuclear deterrence. and this is a basic basic element of international stability and security. and since then. russia founded. as a state being under siege. of attempts. of neutralizing its nuclear potential nuclear capabilities

thus in danger in the existence of nuclear deterrence. the only way and despite sending. sending signals of an acceptance of this process. proposing various compromises proposing corporation in ensuring international stability unfortunately our country failed to me trysts a process. and as a result as a result the only way was to show that in any case in any case despite all the efforts of all contador and counterparts in this story despite their continuous efforts to build the entire. entire shilled. russia would be capable of insuring. mutual deterrence system to feel like this is

working. showing that we have the best defense in the world's yes definitely yes can you elaborate. you know well if you analyze the reaction coming from. responsible members of international society. you will see that the reason a certain understanding understanding of necessity or urgent negotiations or international security and and. well and even design them well trump just complained recently after a phone call to moscow that this arms race is getting out of hand out of whose hands. well we know that we know that. nuclear weapons i mean not to be used. they are made to protect. and the main purpose of existence of nuclear weapons is not to be used.

so they protect and they ensure stability and they sure this balance. but we're not only two countries to bring nuclear weapons nuclear potential for other countries. countries that are about to become nuclear powers or countries who are endangering the world to become nuclear powers countries that might have been already might have become already nuclear powers. we all know that and all these can lead to a change of balance and that is extremely dangerous and it needs cooperation between leading nuclear powers to ensure a process of nonproliferation to cooperate in well in in strategic stability but i think when he manned the arms race is getting out of hand he really meant

russia and the united states and you know i was asked this question when i was in america and i thought it was kind of funny because there is such a discrepancy in russia's military budget and america's military budgets i mean there were like seven hundred billion dollar budget with like eighty billion just bonus this year and all of our budget is going to be reduced yet so how. can anyone with arms race seriously. wrong of course we cannot compare all military spending two years. so we were in five. in five years we're going to spend less than three percent of g.d.p. for military for military defense purposes and for arms. production purposes it cannot be compared with the spend eight years of the united states. but but i would like to remind you of the latest statements of president clinton russia is not going to be. to be driven into. it does not correspond with

president putin's. merrily go of domestic economic development and domestic breakthrough in economy so we go and president we all do not need. and it was confirmed and declared by president putin and this is the main declination that we have to take into account. we're going to take a short break right now when we come back we're going to continue talking to me to be school russian president's press secretary talking about everest think between russia united states and europe we're talking about the media wars and much more stay with us.

fifteen years ago this month the united states in its so-called coalition of the willing to illegally invaded in occupied iraq and iraq continues to grapple with that fateful decision many call the invasion of iraq a blunder we call it really is a crime. they're bred for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young. eight months of intensive schooling. rats. and they save lives. the most expensive fish in the world each one is selling for tens of thousands of

euros it continues to grow its entire life if it was thirty years old you might have a two ton fish out there and yet they don't get that big today because we're way too good at catching. it's only weapons off a much larger mission was once there and that was much more widely distributed we have politicians that are in office for a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term our system is not suited and is not geared for long term survival and that's why we have the catastrophe. and we're back with the peace corps freshman president's press secretary mr to school foreign embassies meghan kelley asked him about whether wearing a new cold war were not present and dismissed it as propaganda he said you know

anyone who is saying that reich and rush are at the new cold war. it's part of propaganda but when you really look at the facts right i mean. there are troops on russia's border and they're getting closer and closer russia is creating new weapons a huge media war going on between the countries accusations flying back and forth especially towards russia with the poisoning and the meddling in the elections what is it then it's not the cold war what is it that what's happening between american version right now saying we're witnessing a lot of elements of cold war and unfortunately we're seeing more and more and sort of called war in origin and we're facing it in international relations. we face. well. it's. not all the countries are comfortable with rising russia. well the

rising russia russia with the leadership of president put. they should be histed by now it's been eighteen years now well the more russia is rising the more on comfortable they feel and the more tough. they start to behave in international relations and in this type of behavior there really. is international law the basics of international relations for. free trade and commercial regime there are really two two and they're ready to forget about. both fair fair trade they're there ready to forget about w t o. they're really to forget about every rules when they want to suppress russian why and this is why the famous words of craziness where going to to to make them pays it pay the price you

know it's like maniacs what russia why russia i mean there is china i mean it's rising much faster and much more it's in comparable there's no comparison to russia how fast you know china is rising i mean india much less but still there are so many other countries that are rising whether we talk about human rights what they accuse us off i mean that comparable what happens in russia in those countries rate in comparable but is the russia that's them in eyes in terms of even rising they're rising much faster than russia why is it that the russia is always the infernal enemy. bro i don't think i can explain it in words it's a very complicated. complex. that needs much more deeper analysis i think it's comes from history if you see through history russia was was treated. as a rival theirs and then a me for what's of interest. so you just listen there are some

selling some would say some of the only airing i am some remaining in ninety two good western countries towards russia coming from from that time but it does mean that all the countries in the west they share this philosophy lots of countries in europe then the stand that russia is and take a good part of europe and you cannot think about prosperous europe and developing europe if you if you don't see russia being involved in all the european processions. that russia is one of these. has to be taken into account and so on and so forth so it's. we cannot say that this angry attitude is an overwhelming one it is very serious unfortunately but but there are some voices that see sober voices coming from from various regions of the world i think i thing this angry voice is overwhelming if we talk about our united

states i mean i have and i lived in a country for ten years i love the country but i have never ever encountered and seen anything like that this is anti russian mysterio you know the perfect use of the brain washing system i want to talk to you about that because i feel like the main difference between the cold war now in the putting doesn't like this as a term to describe what's going on now and the cold war then the actual cold war is the media war because now we have the media on both sides and to be fair like i think we should take you know fair share of the blame here because what you have is that everything is out in the open back then there are rules of of the game you know like some bond or is that either side rarely crossed right now with the media putting it out everything there is what president think or say what journalists think or say what a citizen ever average citizen things or says that really. makes it and takes that

the animosity to a whole new level attention to the people's level which was never there before i mean soviet union and america there were ideological enemies but the people never hated each other they hated each other assistance right some which longed for all things western and vice versa right now what we have is this hatred on peoples level which and i think the media is to blame for that do you feel like this media war this unfiltered media war is really adding to this animosity between extremely well people people or. need to gainst this media wars they are victims they fail victims of this media wars and. they cannot create their own point of view they cannot be an owner of their own attitude. so they are being.

motivated but they are being driven into a certain wave of emotions without even understanding then and they not they simply cannot have any objective approach towards these or that event towards these or that country. is a huge machine walk. what happened during that last. three or four decades. and media they started to rule the world economically commercial media and also political media i mean media from the united states great britain. their most powerful their most influential and they have. the widest possible reach in the world globally and of course this feeling of monopoly. so if it brings it brings it will to manipulate this monopoly so you can you can use this monopoly is

a tool of delivering your point of view whether it is right or wrong it doesn't matter you can adjust it in accordance with situation. to simply to manipulate the brains of people throw the world. and this is why a strongly a poor oppose. appearance of any rivals even small rivals like r t in comparison would you say we're all right also our say was that pretty well for the past they hired i sincerely believe that size doesn't matter here. it can be small but you can do much much much more influential things that that is what you are doing and that is what makes the very nervous it was just me honoring its founding fathers or that ending to be irreverent for them and this rivalry can ruin the system of brainwash but this is the reality do you feel like this media or

should you know be put down a notch a little bit maybe maybe even if of course maybe someone should say from the top you guys take it easy getting out of iraq might i would like to to remind you that russian side through diplomatic channels through various channels have. proposed contacts with different partners in the world in western europe and the united states to. cooperate in cyber terror. against cyber terror to cooperate in joint competent. informational fakes and so on and so forth no answer. silence announcer so no no one would cooperate that is here and then as a result as a result was see all of a sudden willingness of anglo-saxon media

to enjoy the details of disaster. the disaster happening in. happening in aleppo. and paying no attention to disaster happening in iraq for example so when it comes to actions of correlation. and planes and coalition bombing hundreds tens of thousands of dead people and dead bodies laying there on birds they don't pay any attention you wouldn't find any trace of information on their time about innocent yes in anglo-saxon media why because it's the purpose is different the purpose is not to be objective. whatever happened to the

culture of the spirit because i ronald reagan he hated so that you knew you never made it a secret that he wanted to break it up but he went to the trouble to learn all the soviet jokes so we control this so it accordingly. now what you get like this rhetoric back and forth just so desolating i mean the latest coming from the british defense minister just go away and shut up what happened to me britain britain is a different story you know it's still in general what happened to this culture of dispute. is giving getting lower and lower unfortunately. what we see is a country of byron and shakespeare a country of condo a country that used to be a brilliant empire. with the with. eman split it could traditions traditions of diplomacy and so on and so forth it turned into a country where where where. politicians are are meeting

well let me just say irresponsible statements. this is a problem it's a reflection of very hostile. policy unpredictable hostile policy and this is the reality that we have to face and this is the reality that we have to face we have to minimize the can sequences of this unfortunate reality for our country and we have to ensure using all possible diplomatic and political methods we have to minimize the consequences for or country and to ensure the conditions for our domestic purposes is suitable and comfortable. about that and much more in the second half of our program we'll talk about whether u.s. russia relations can get better and if put in jokes and the things that he says are lost in translation when it comes to western media.

well you know that they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean there in this mall of all it's next to the hard pool of ships and it's still. not done to. the limo self to big fish already ninety percent of the dock and it won't be calmer. concept fifteen scoops seventy five tons true and they do it several times a day with a big cleats no you get an idea on why the ocean is. we have to

understand we can not stay still and just. be with this the deal going to go out. i'm doing this because i want the future world to the future can generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. the warhawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still need. to do socks for the tell you that stuff because of the public by shells of the most important news today. off the bad guys and tell me you are not cool enough to buy their product. all the hawks that we along with all those watching.

the far right and britain isn't just on the march it's taking violent murderous action. a neo nazi group called national action applauded the mother and the mother of a young woman member of the british parliament just before one o'clock today jo cox and paid for in spending for the tots knocking quest. i'm now very sad because she has died because also for instance. other alleged members are charged with planning the brutal killing of another woman m.p. . and two british soldiers said to be from the same nazi group face serious terrorism charges. fascism and far right extremism street

violence and confrontation isn't new in britain it dates back to at least the one nine hundred thirty s. when oswald mosley blackshaw structed through major cities today's encounter nations are no less deadly. this is the story of how began how it developed revealing the major players and exposing the secret past the leader of the latest street movement. last year of the young woman labor m.p. joel cox was cruelly mobbed up in the course of her public duties in burstow west yorkshire the mother of two young children was stabbed and shot to death by

a man called thomas maier whose name needn't detain us for long. at the time the mainstream media narrative was the mayor was the lone wolf well in a rabid wolf he surely was but he was not alone thomas maier was connected enmeshed in the complex web of. you know we the blood downed horror of the. brought british fascism full circle back to where in a sense it all began. so oswald mosley was a middle level british. who married to the daughter of the viceroy of

india log cars a. long moment. he was a conservative m.p. then a labor m.p. a left wing labor m.p. sometimes as a future our labor prime minister but as the skies darkened the wall street crash and widespread poverty oswald mostly turned to fascism. there's been a fifty year disputes over what fascism actually is one of the most influential definitions was five griffin who argued that it was a palin genetic form of nationalism and that's a fancy way of saying it's a cross class revolutionary brand of nationalism that believes in the renewal of the nation and the new man and in

a way that's what people are separated fascism from conservatism the conservatives look back at. status quo whereas fascists were very much about looking forward to creating its ethnically pure all new man. you can see a sense of victimhood that somehow the nation state which it which they identify has been somehow a victim of of others of evil forces stabbed in the back undermined in various ways whether it's by the international conspiracy by communism or by liberals who are trying who are responsible for the degeneration the decadence the one thing that seems to me to bring together the fascists is the belief in an absolute leader whose word is law and who cannot be wrong and certainly hitler thought he could not be wrong in this country mostly thought he could not be wrong which is as good a definition of madness as i know but also the only definition that i can see of

fascism. here in cable street in the east end of london on the fourth of october one thousand nine hundred thirty six britain's first fascist leader came across. was the leader of the british union of fascists he would have been if he could have been britain's. the purpose of his march was to whip up hatred in much the same way as his eye dog did in germany. the people of these ten didn't did people from all over london came on my ass to oppose him a quarter of a million londoners stood in cable street proclaiming.

they shall not pass and when most of his black shirt that jackbooted. nazis came a marching the people stood far. there was trouble all right but the fascists were running to and had to call off the mark. racial tension was already simmering in the long hot summer of one thousand nine hundred fifty eight here on friday august the twenty ninth outside lots of more road underground station the spark was lit. three days of war infamously became known as the notting hill race riots over the long weekend hundreds of white youths rampaged around this area carrying weapons brandishing racist slogans the daily mail and it's an image of old style joined in asking should we

let them keep coming in today notting hill is expensive one of britain's most exclusive on cliffs. the rich the famous and the fashionable live eat and shop. at the time of the notting hill race riots it couldn't have been more different this area was one of grimy crumbling tournaments owned by slum lords charging the rock rents. council cochrane the young carpenter who was stabbed to death right here in golborne road in notting hill was obviously not britain's first victim of racially motivated murder but he was the first to address national attention. the first the big boy would never know it a symbol of resistance to race. at

the time notting hill was a hotbed of white nationalism oswald mosley is union movement and cullen jordan's white defense league had this seeding with a racial tension. we feel that you cannot have colored immigration on the scale in which you're having it today without sooner or later having messenger breeding that must lead ultimately to a britain we feel that if we have population in the future that must mean the downfall of the civilization and culture of our country which we hold so dear if you look at the early history of fascism it was completely different to what we today associate being fascist as well mosley was himself from the establishment was from the labor party had connections across the elite if you like he also had fairly developed ideas about what he wanted to do with the state of the economy. to say the national front in the seventy's or the british national party in the early

two thousand. and two very crude simply out would be. conspiratorial anti semitic but they didn't have. sort of a deeper level of thought about how to reorganize the state and the economy. and so really a lot of the far right in britain in the post-war period really became dominated by white supremacists by crew. and really since then hasn't escaped that legacy in fifteen or twenty years' time a black man will have the whip hand over the white. in the late nineteenth six days in our poll a conservative party grandee made a note notorious speech. like the roman he could see that forming with much blood it was a prediction of a britain or riven by a race riots even a racial war it caused the disparate strands of britain's fod right

to rapidly coalesce the vehicle they founded was called the national front the end therefore had a joint leadership the think and author of tar john tindall and the iron man of action martin web stuff i don't believe that the british people will allow themselves to be mongrelized out of existence we've got to fight to listen if it's right to save the whale which all of the lift who are otherwise waiting and. if it's right to save the whale why shouldn't the british the five. why have we got to submit to being exterminated by race mixing while we protect the survival of the minke whale the blue whale or whatever the logic of the left just doesn't best scrutiny. the national front brought chaos

to the streets of britain in the seventy's and eighty's that struck terror in the black and asian communities anyone whose skin was not quite. the end at hyde day symbolism had a reputation that really struck fear into the hearts of many in our black communities to take a beating from national from skin it was to face the most horrendous violence this is why let's richard briefly violence that black people could face and you could literally lose your life over him kelson call crane did just that. the end there was a coalition of small extreme right wing groups on the fringes of british politics it specialized in provocative marches in immigrant areas only whites were allowed to join. britain is no whether you like it or not i happen

to like it. a multi-racial country. but even if you don't like it it's too late to do anything about that well first i don't agree that it's a multi-racial country integration hasn't taken place to a significant extent and it's for this reason i don't really have noticed but on television advertisement over the last year or so every single advertisement involving people has got black people in it asian people in it as well as whites and particularly insidiously in my view they're showing including in furniture and bedding advertisement. black and white couples. in we are insidiously being got at they're hoping that nature will follow our and that if they create an illusion of an actuality of integration and race mixing and

miseducation that that's how the public will follow it well the voters indicated that they're not the national front trying to give itself a democratic when you're standing in local and national elections without success. it's part of the overwhelming rage in an anger felt by many black on muslim communities that they were british citizens in a first class democracy living third class lives being subject to the most horrendous violence. i get the impression that black people are deeply unhappy here and that kids are murdering each other at a frightful right here they're not settling in they're not happy and i think people are unhappy outside their own culture their own society it's not making

happiness for us either. around the world there's always a battle going on with the central bankers and the commercial bankers always trying 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 rico way. how does it feel to be a sheriff the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is good business model helps to run a prison now we just do or don't like is there nobody you visitation i don't no one comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore is cost effective that's what

they want to do that at the moment they don't give a damn if you do towards a man they're actually paying us to put them back into. the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s. same breach what she could is behind such success. of my. the n.s.a. had a clear message about how to saw what it saw as the risk question. if there were a sensible government all illegal immigrants all of them would be sent back to their countries aren't they here illegally they're committing criminal acts taking our money using our health is leaving us they would be sent back straight away

we're still talking about illegals or you have no no i'm not a now i'm now i'm now saying that we would in the words. was the godfather we would make these people here who are not happy and offer they can't refuse but you wouldn't rule out forcible repacked regime if push comes to shove at the end the very end of the day no but i don't think you need come to that you see i have four mixed race children so you can understand them twitching at the suck. they have never seen the place that you would first encourage but not rule of force of listening them but maybe maybe maybe you'd like maybe i take it i don't know what ethnic background your have to our children to individual children blimey of your own procreation i didn't know that well i still have to say it without wishing

to be rude to you or your children or your wives or wife so i don't know anything about your background but i still put the survival of the british people first. that's what being a nationalist is i put that first and i'm not going to be morally intimidated or morally blackmailed by exceptional hard cases we saw their affinity with. genuine fascism in terms of their idealization of. kyle salutes and they were terrifying for me at least the where we lived we were terrified about to be getting caught out by the national front which was a part how do you view hitler.

i think he was a great man for his people i think that a lot of the things he did for his people picking germany out of the dump that it had been thrown firstly by the verse i treaty and secondly pius financial corruption. and political decadence within his country. i think the hitler that led to him taking power and cleaning up his country and raising german self-respect that was an era which i would have supported him in but what about for example the holocaust. i'm not in the company of the holocaust revisionists. i do think

the promulgated of the holocaust narrative have got a lot of very serious questions to answer engineers scientists of various disciplines have subjected many of the stories. associated with the holocaust to critical examination and hove compiled a list of questions about how this could have happened in that could have happened . and these questions are not allowed to be asked in polite society in this country and in germany you go to prison for just asking these questions. but i don't say that there were brutal acts perpetrated against poles against jews against russians and others but i have yet to be persuaded that germany had set up the machinery for the factory like mass production and

destruction of an entire race. the n.f. like far right groups before them fell apart out of the wreckage of which emerged the b.n.p. led by former n.f. head man nick griffin the b.n.p. devoted their resources to persuading the british public to back them at the ballot box all vote increased eight hundred and eight thousand to nine hundred forty three thousand. they had some success but the public eventually saw through them and rejected them just as they had mostly fascist sick people st in the one nine hundred thirty s. and in similar fashion. football crowds out on obvious breeding ground in which the far right can recruit they are the only

regular convocations of white working class youth who gather in the tens of thousands every other saturday the first attempt to hound us the energy of those crowds to britain's far right ideas was mounted by a man called stephen lennon though you probably know him better as tommy robinson every single city in the has an islamic community high on why he didn't. you know you're a bit of a hoax are a bit of a hot star lennon stopped at the english defense league and for a brief period there were alive and kicking. some other slumps thought oh look he's coming to get you it's going to kill as many people as it can it will swing it like you out a cow on the street and it looks on you like that yes poor kids tomorrow you read

these goes have gone through. reason why do you spend right these children it could be because i hope of burchett criminals but i could be president of pollution is my new he could be so when mood i place my mood a politicians realize the link between this and then men a right pain or kids from the. us. the english defense league were challenged would have of their be a vote and it was the british police who absorb the brunt of the eyeglass. on my yard laser next army man and it shows he's a security and intelligence expert what is their agenda their racist their islamophobia their homophobic their anti semitic.

the earth. the earth the earth one. of those idiots. i think there is a very significant threat i think it's a growing threat i see these organizations which are usually splintered which reform which take different names and s. one three one for example scottish dohrn. are. when the organizations are beginning to develop the potential which you see is you know terroristic but seriously dangerous then i think you don't have any choice you have to take that sort of action even though you know that the the groups will then disperse the people in the groups will disperse they'll probably create new

organizations nevertheless you're disrupting them and so that there is a benefit there's an immediate benefit. to that disruption. in the wake of the murder of george s. the u.k. government used anti terror laws to crack down and ban these fascist groups. national option will become the first ever extreme rightwing quake in the country to be for school actually action is a violent group they promote to the phobia they promote violence terrorism and they have no place in this country a number of alleged members of national action are now facing trial on serious charges two of them are soldiers in the british army. for legal reasons we can't go farther into their case at this point in time but one thing is obvious that the british government fears danger from britain's far right

what is interesting though is the media attention the islamic radicals have had but to date they haven't really devoted anything like the same media resource to exploring this phenomena. there's a new outfit in town the football lads alliance funded by a convicted football hooligan banned from every football ground in the country and regularly courting right wing extremists i speak us. loose on the f l e a has mounted to huge demonstrations in london thousands took to the streets to back them others under to protest the f.l.a.c. when all that they claim to be. on that demonstration

as we were trying to lay for us all we were trying to play for the march people were racially abused people were friends nurses were told quotes i hoped i effing bomb you right this is not a nonviolent court. we were going to for you to know was pretty funny you know followers of or how we normal people would. find out just before lads well come on that therefore by forward again what you're hearing either is the next phase five or the strong one who fucking has the government's microphone and living aboard for the great new face was thinking more you'd be here for like the one that's taking great pains to say we're anti rices and so on but how come there wasn't a muslim speaker on the platform. the true face

a lot of people following the afterlife is often not just as honest tara as i call it is law for supposedly an extreme a group i can't tell you can people who are linked to terror acts he got people who are not my system fascists there's a man called posts in all right who is a former london u.t.i. commander and a convicted gun runner for the a.g.i. who is a member of the afterlife. one of orion's was so not my fights on march we very much the known price isn't pro-choice the nonviolent approach is all about peaceful protest. former hooligan join me gun tries to say he's against all extremism that he and tommy robinson seen here in bristol on an e.d.m. jaunt just the latest errors to mosley's blackshirts.

clashes erupt on the streets of paris during a nationwide strike over president economic reforms. german chancellor angela merkel says that the e.u. should wait for the results of an international probe into a spy poisoning case in the u.k. before taking any action against russia. u.k. government is dragged into the cambridge analytical scandal it is revealed that the defense ministry worked with the parent company of the firm accused of illegally mining millions of facebook profiles. for the latest on these stories you can head to our team dot com coming up next though max keiser is in puerto rico meeting. with survivors of hurricane irene.

you know. mo oh my gosh. after so many look at those imax kaiser this is the kaiser report in puerto rico a territory that is currently under occupation by the current. unbelievably we're standing in front of some art that is representational lee depicting this what the heck is going on stacey this is the up where they lavandera which means that the flag door on july first twenty sixteen it was painted black prior to that it was the classic puerto rican flag blue at top red stripes down now it's black because from then what some. began to occupy this.

territory i was going to say so nation but of course it's not totally a nation is the territory of the united states so i'm july first twenty sixteen they defaulted on a two billion dollars payment on a general obligation bond the first time since one nine hundred thirty three that it happened in the united states or any u.s. territory really set in motion a new period in puerto rican history so roughly at about the same time you had a whole new group of entrepreneurs in the crypto space to say well puerto rico could be a great place for us to come and de camp and set up shop and turn this into a crypto paradise and we're going to be looking at some of those stories while we're here in puerto rico and of course we'll be sampling some awesome most fungo and we're going to get into the culture we're going to do so on a learn how to do some serious salsa dancing by the end of the show something i've been meaning to do for the past thirty years and do the horizontal mambo maybe a couple times who knows what the what's going on there let me just give credit to

the artist alvarez she made this in two thousand and twelve and then painted it black in twenty sixteen when the obama admin administrator ssion brought in pro mace which means promise in spanish but in english it stands for puerto rico oversight management and economic stability act. and the sign you mentioned to appoint a who of course was a puerto rican american his parents were from puerto rico he wrote that sawing song oyo. me reith's mo so listen to my rhythm is what that means and so we're going to listen to the rhythm of this island you and i have been to many places and a similar situation whether it's greece whether it's ireland we've seen economic collapse and troikas and outside bodies oversight fiscal stability boards coming in fiscal control boards and this situation coming in and occupying economically at least and that's really all that matters financial repression you know whether it's

in the you. us when they artificially drop interest rates down to below market rates or whether you're in greece where you have the troika as it's known and now here we are forced to recall what the point is it's being called around the world there's always a battle going on with the central bankers and the commercial bankers always trying 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 show so now we're going to look at it from the puerto rican perspective they are similarly being repressed by the overlords of finance and they are reacting in a very specific for it to recruit away a lot of salsa a lot of beans and rice lot of dancing lot of sunshine and a lot of crypto baby by the way they are america and that's one thing to remember that i feel so proud to be american this is a great location san juan is gorgeous and yes at colonial city it's hundreds of years old france who is that guy. ponce de leon. i think i'm something

rama ponce there and yes he first of course basically found his old san juan is the first governor here and we're going to be here for the next few episodes we're going to be reporting on the financial situation here remember on june thirtieth two thousand and sixteen when obama first introduced this new legislation pro mesa appointing a fiscal control board over the island they are not allowed basically they don't have their own economic sovereignty here because the president of the united states appoints these people to the control board the fiscal control board when they went bankrupt at that time their debt was seventy billion dollars. that's about twenty thousand dollars per person on the island since then of course because of the hurricane and because of the economic collapse hundreds of thousands hundreds of thousands have actually left so now there's only about three point three million people on the island this is the bay of synanon were all of the colonials all the

colonial powers whether the dutch the spanish or the british arrive through here this is the new world the gateway to the new world it's so gorgeous reminds me of the south of france we should move here but decided we're going to move here and now we're going to join the crypt the revolution in san juan puerto rico i feel it watching in my veins. stigmata pouring out of my trip the consciousness right here is a fuse with cyber christ on sunday it is a sunday and you know we've been walking around this island and that is a thing that is quite surprising to me i thought it was more like the bahamas than a tourist destination and kind of a hellhole of miami like situation but in fact it's an amazingly beautiful five hundred year old it feels like you're in lisbon arbil fonts the marriage does feel like a remarkable european city we've been to a lot of beautiful places all over the world and this is going to be one of the most beautiful i've got to tell you. so i was talking about the fight the fiscal

control board and the fact that they lost their economic sovereignty it's a situation similar to appen with greece however you can tell the difference max and i have been to athens many times other cities and lon no tear gas but also there's it's less much less depressed here i think because the fiscal control board is filled with americans who basically donald trump is now the guy who would appoint this fiscal control board and he's gone bankrupt more than anybody else on earth let me give you a comparison between greece and ireland you know greece was allowed made an example of and the economy went. in flames the tear gas was everywhere and their suffering and depression ireland played ball with the i.m.f. and the troika and they were you know got through the austerity measures and now there's a huge financial boom there except you have to pay a lot for basics like water to pay for it also the poor get ripped off of course

but here this is more like that ira situation where they're kind of nursing them through fiscally until the crypto boom hits and it's going to hit in the next twenty four months i can feel it i can feel the block chain if it smells like victory. well max you know that twenty sixteen when they defaulted on their two billion dollar bond payment the first time since one nine hundred thirty three that a state a u.s. state or territory had done so defaulting on a general obligation by which you're not supposed to be able to do well they did it they were seventy billion in debt then by twenty seventeen they were one hundred twenty three billion in debt and then nobody really talks about it anymore because you know i hurricane maria hit and hurricane maria was a category four hurricane. you already saw. her. wow there's a lot of bernstein knew what was going to come in twenty or twenty seventeen well

you know old song won and so on one don't have that much damage that we can see apparently the rest of the island does we will try to get out there but it did cause ninety according to this headline rebuilding puerto rico will cost ninety five billion dollars and there. you could raise that other nice you know in a heartbeat nothing this whole place is going to go krypto street i'm feeling it well just so you know max is talking about that because there are three simultaneous big conferences happening on the island we will talk to some of those people we are over the next few days going to go there and talk to those people there are many stories about the new colonialists some people say they're the new colonialists i did speak to a former government employee matches he was somebody and he said that he welcomes them all he doesn't see the mess so we're going to cover that over the next few days and they say oh the ninety five billion and they want the faulting on there

there's more solid to the territory incurred this debt willingly. has always been a toxic debt dump where wall street dumps you know and this is the story when you have. like the u.s. and they picked out all the european countries and latin american countries were to go you know it's completely asymmetric warfare they dump dead here and people say well we'll take the money i mean why would you say no to money and then they come calling for the interest payments of like oh no we got a default then they say well we're going to come in with austerity measures and take over all your basic services and privatized and then maria hit and said. that's right we're in hurricane alley deal with that wall street well so so max i mean the thing is that what let's talk about why they are so in debt because it is different between ireland between greece between here ireland went bust because of those banks the golden circle of bankers who lent each other money and it was all

basically private debt owned by a bank without even any retail deposits and the european union the e.c.b. forced the irish people to basically bail out this private bank in greece yes they did borrow so much money and that was because of the e.c.b. because of the euro zone and everybody lent money to them cheaper than it should have been you know what happened in puerto rico is that they had since one thousand seven thousand in the jones act they had the chip exam tax bonds so tell us about that because you sold those on wall street what happened there yes i said it's a toxic debt dump because on wall street you can always sell a puerto rico triple tax free double be rated bond to mr or mrs shorts out on long island for that tax free equivalent you know you say it's taxable equivalent of seven percent on your money dr schwartz dentist in bay city and you know you just sell those all day long it's amazing trade to do and they just load this place up

with debt convenience is debt from convenience and now they don't pay the interest on the debt they shouldn't pay the interest on the debt they should force it back to wall street where it came from and so take your toxic debt sludge and cram another strange thing is we're going to pay the interest on this thing because you just manufactured it in your room. distractor it has nothing to do with our economy go go into more fungo and drop dead well they did eat a lot of mofongo debt they had a lot of debt and that part of that by the way happened. puerto rico's recession remember everybody else in the world in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine actually hit in two thousand and six here and what happened is that was the end of a ten year period set in motion from bill clinton basically every single thing in the world that has gone wrong was because of bill clinton whether it was his commodities futures modernization act which allowed derivatives to be traded not as bets but as actual investments whether he got rid of glass steagall and then caused all the banks to turn into gambling zones as well but he also in one thousand nine

hundred six he basically over turned some tax advantages to us corporations to manufacture here and most of them were in the south of the island we'll get into that how that actually impacts the electrical grid here but by two thousand and six all of the tax advantages to being here were lost and all of them literally thousands of people lost their jobs overnight and thus set in motion the death spiral well of the death spiral is being reversed thanks to innovation entrepreneurial pierce and the block change we're going to have a reverse of the death spiral toward the death reinforcing stairway to heaven and at the top of the heaven is a man named toshi not come otoh and we get there through the block chain one block at a time every ten minutes a new block is born like a star in the universe in the multiverse and it just says hello i'm here and i love you.

even if it is. about you just need to change in such a situation. ninety five to ninety eight percent i find it incredible it's almost two approaches a very seriously if. that's the mechanisms to a fatal blow through the chemical weapon circumcision she played their home in constant mediation i think we have to look at the facts and the procedures for affordably a mature woman from a small stone here. to. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to a guest of the world of politics sport i'm showbusiness i'll see that.

welcome back to the kaiser report imax keyser time now to turn to john mudd according to his twitter bio he's an attorney a legal analyst a teller of stories a brit baker and statehood supporter john a welcome thank you all right so john mudd you are a state good supporter what does that mean in the context of puerto rico well for time immemorial even during the spanish times there was a certain conflict the politicians the few that were allowed to be politicians between being having. tanami being part of spain or being independent and nowadays we have the same three things the problem is that down the territory of the united states congress can discriminate against

a church or whatever weight it wants to as long as it's not fundamental rights so therefore you are discriminating in terms of federal funding etc independence of course you have certain of that yours and its advantages and statehood you have it the better it is and certain disadvantage is what's right so you're weighing up all those advantages and disadvantages and you're kind of falling in the camp of statehood yeah it was just a little bit explore that a little bit more so what would that mean for people living well first of all the first thing that you would do is that i was born in hawaii so i wasn't born in puerto rico my so this ship is protected by the fourteenth amendment what and did i was a bit well. porton case in one thousand one the puerto rican citizenship which came in one thousand seventeen is not so but as long as i live here congress can say you can have this you can't have that. once we come a state you will have equal rights but because your state can discriminate tenth amendment will prove it second. you would have an end to the endless debate about

status and that includes then this debate of status status and that is consumes enormous amounts of energy in puerto rico and resorts there's a group of elites in puerto rico who are opposing statehood simply because they don't want to pay federal taxes seventy percent of people in puerto rico because of their income or lack thereof would not pay federal taxes would even even have to file federal income tax returns but the big businesses the few that are local would have to ok so on the tax issue you're saying seventy percent of people wouldn't even qualified to be in a tax bracket so they wouldn't pay tax those who are against statehood as such are looking at it purely from that taxes that lands are mostly not noticed most of their people who say because we're different from the gringos we have a different culture etc i would say culture evolves it's not the same thing when i came to puerto rico and november of one hundred sixty three my first cultural shock

was in during the holy week in sixty four the whole programming changed to see my my. my cartoons because they were religious groups that doesn't happen anymore because culture changes it's only in my lifetime if you look at zero one hundred years of course there's greater changes for example in a hundred ninety eight before the americans came there was only catholic church was allowed no protestants were allowed. because there was the law. that changed abortion and gay rights etc have all been determined by american decisions so what you're suggesting is a bit of sentimentality here and that there has been enormous change already and so let's talk about some specifics or so since july first of twenty sixteen where the rico is effectively run by a fair. school control board appointed by the u.s. president under what's called from mesa now does this body get to overrule the governor and other elected officials here and how does this even impact the notion

of sovereignty when i first heard of this the first thing i thought about was greece and the troika you know greece is having a lot of trouble and the troika being be. in another body ruled over greece is similar what are your thoughts not the same the greeks could have said no we don't want your money we could have gotten out of the union with the enormous amounts of difficulty and problems but they could have done their referendum and voted out as a matter of fact about they stone them out of the asians there's something there and they're in a stand up but in puerto rico it's a little bit different going back to the downs where submittable that was worser but congress can give the territories government or take it away and that's exactly what happened here the board when it was imposed took away some of the powers of the puerto rico not all of them actually there's a solution by be out by swing as to the appointment of a c.e.o. or have bought and she said no you can't do that for the board or you can't do that

that may change when the fiscal plans are approved but that's another matter all right so just to go into that a little bit more because on the surface it looks like from a sign and the u.s. has absolute control and they are that's a naive view i think what you're saying that they're smart is more nuance to it yes because the problem is that not the u.s. you can say that congress territorial clause. congress made this. and make need for rules for the territories it's not the president of course the president has to sign up on it but right now the board has certain duties and responsibilities and or going to puerto rico on certain things but another state can't. i have to read the opinion by the judge swain i think it was in the limber still mr somewhat to really understand it and maybe you will have a little difficulty but that's the way it is if you mentioned. right so tell us what it is perhaps what role have a plan and bankrupting the territories ok. we've got to go back yes let's go back

to the one hundred thirty. people nowadays when i understand it but in those days most people thought that capitalism was in this last trade we're talking about the russians and that planned economies so union south and that's you germany were wrote this was most of the intellectuals in the world thought that the budget of democratic party. was inaugurated or made in one hundred thirty eight in one thousand nine hundred twenty elections nine hundred forty one it takes all of the different electrical companies that were in puerto rico nationalizes them and creates but the government is going to take care of the problem is that once you have politicians in charge of something as important to your grid they make political decisions they don't make business sense so they slowly being bankrupting but i thought right now it was nine billion right now when i worked on wall street

we sold what we call bombs all the time you get triple tax exempt it's like b. plus or something like that yeah eating and i was they have been in cumbered with a lot of debt and i think a lot of that was just convenience of selling debt inventory on wall street debt that was not needed they just became over encumbered with a lot of debt. this is a question i've had for a while what do you think about that you have two. similar but you're saying it's like you're being offered the money so you say ok i'll take a right you have to look at it from another point of view when i was growing up in puerto rico as everywhere in the united states i was often drawn by people that said no some of the people i knew said yes and now they're in the street lights and what are we asking for money. it's similar here you may say that wall street was trying to that were eager to issue bonds but it was those and dying to do that so

they could have money the politicians and do whatever they wanted. if you look in two thousand and one. thing was twenty seven billion dollars ok now you've got a new creditor on the same year the way you characterize wall street was a bit of a predatory relationship there now you've got hedge funds coming in and they are seemingly strong arming the government into paying back loans that maybe should not be paid back accent john paulson for example is a big player in all this is i understand it well i see you shaking your head was he got rid of bonds what he did what paulson did a very smart marlee came in he saw like this hotel has a lot of potential has a lot of that let me buy it difficult capitalising buy cheap and then sold their. ok if you buy ten cents of the dollar and i offer you fifty cents on a dollar. you making forty cents on line sounds good ones usually not always

because you have to look at argentina right argentina being an example of maybe hedge funds acting in a more predatory fashion but also a famous. in this case get hedge funds to make deals for example but if they ever had to deal with. a fifteen twenty percent at the end it was a twenty percent haircut on. the board said no to a four to three. but that's what happened and the government was all in favor of it but the warts and sort of going to go through so what to be fair to say your view would be like hedge funds in themselves are not the problem they're just pure capitalist entities the management of those had trons could be a problem in that they're not being directed in a way that would be beneficial. you have to understand one thing. on any form any business is run for your stock. for the benefit of your stock

not for the benefit of people who are equal that's supposed to be the government the same government that took all these loans to keep funding. they are never ending appetite for giving things to people so they would vote for them and that hasn't worked for the last four or five elections so that's the way it goes right ok well i mean that there could be an argument that the on the fun side there is a bit of duplicitous there but let's let's move on to let me put it that is their purpose is to make a buck the purpose is not a public purpose right that's what their purpose is to make a buck but the idea of it and narco capitalism let's say government run by an arc of capitalist is not a favorable outcome i. was in our national capital while you're saying that the market would have the ultimate discretion in determining what's best for the i no no no no no no i'm not going to the market politicians as opposed but they're not because they're deferring to the has no bearing because what they're doing is your

default issue and your fault there's any. you make the decision to take out a very point five billion dollar loan like the previous government. are you going to pay no the taxpayers what are you going to pay if not you so you get the benefit because i spend the money and people only favors right but i don't mean in the past are some of the politicians being funded by in fact the same financier's do it ultimately benefit by the arrangement that is not necessarily great for folks but i just want to ask you about the hurricane that's coming along and you know maria two hundred thousand left the island sensory chain maria the storm has caused tens of billions in damages and so what's happening to the economy from that point of view the big population drain so where where are we at now. obviously there's been enormous amounts of damage at the same time there is still money coming in from thema couple of billion lease that's already been spent. there is going to be more

money from insurance there's going to be more money from the federal government. interestingly enough the economy has just shrunk by about five percent and the income the government gets from the car shrunk only by five percent which is we really good considering the enormous amount of that which the hurricane calls for example i live in. border towns so i want to know which are fairly good well well run lights and i was eighty two days. so there was a lot of damage and if you consider that there's only a five percent decrease that's pretty good i think there and the commie will will rebound because of what i tell you after hurricane hugo five hundred years of resilience well after the resistance and fluttering and spirit john i got to go ok and a price for being on the show. i would that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me. stacey armored like to thank our guest john madden if you

want to reach us on twitter it's kaiser in fort and. how does it feel to be. the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is a good business model helps to run a prison now we just do it oh my guess is you'll be that you have these attacks and they don't no one comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore it's cost effective that's what they want to do that as long as they don't give a damn if you do the chores or not they're going to sleep or you know to put it back and look at the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s. and preach what she could is behind such success.

welcome to worlds apart of a type developed by russia that's the crux of the u.k.'s allegations against the kremlin in this crippled case presupposition that if a nerve agent originated in a country it bears responsibility for its use decades later will these geopolitical formulation of a type developed long practice by the u.k. be supported by the chemical analysis to discuss that i'm now joined by john. they had of the trench research initiative dedicated to the future of disarmament mr

sanders it's great to have you on the show thank you very much for your time thank you now correct me if i'm wrong you fully bagged the british authorities in their version of events you called the russian foreign ministry is response to the allegations absolutely pathetic the response that included the call on london to initiate formal or p c w procedures and yet when the british authorities did just that you said that this was exactly what needs to be done putting aside your clear political preferences do you find it encouraging that both sides are now seeking international expertise. well. all points in the british allegation is the nature of the chemical weapon. most ritual move the chill cool type of food. that was need to follow and produced in the soviet union

during the ninety's. the program went on. into the early one nine hundred ninety s. when the soviet union had broken off this is the allegation that the british may it's unusual in the sense that to the best of our knowledge was never put into delivery systems this is what we call being raised however because of its. nature and the fact that only one country achieved it difficult to is the foundation for the type of allegation now after all these political wrangling and the mutual expulsion of diplomats the u.k. actually did what russia requested it to do and the pursued the formal channel the o.p.c. experts have already visited salisbury to collect the samples and we are now being told that they need about two weeks to run the tasks what's your bast gas as to

what we can expect from the analysis. well my guests in terms of the results will be over that we have a confirmation of the british assertion that the asian used india to hutto was no if you check one of its variations or the results will be that it is something else the good point in the discussion so far is that the authority is in do you know to those who have invited the expertise of the o.p.c. w d organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons to verify their own conclusions these results will be tested in a laboratory is certified by d o p c the view in different countries and the process is the bomb that takes of a number of days perhaps or up to two weeks now i know that you are again fully

supported the british authorities did do you find it responsible to accuse another country of such major crime of using military grade that chemical weapon on a foreign territory before running all those tasks well this is a political question the for which the british government must have its a reason so must have its intelligence and so will i have no information as to the bedroom what type of information they have it was a very strong and rather precise a geisha and they have made with respect to the chemical agent that was used. under dick accrue weapons convention there are a number of processes for c. of course the british government can always go through the process of purely its own diplomatic means for the for and the o.p.c. w.

however the point is right now logan. has decided to involve d o p c w and now there are a number of procedures that will have to be followed should after the results through d o p c w laboratories have been returned to london should britain decide to go through the process or third g.o.p. c w at the same time we have also heard that russian authorities have denied the particular of the gay sions they have also in response made a number of statements implicating a member of the countries as possible sources of. agent you know this is a political discussion that will have no end until we get the facts i agree with you on that point for sure you said just a moment ago ago that the soviet union was the only country to have developed this

agent does it mean in your view that this historical record of having of doing this work in the past should be equated to the capability of russia to produce these type of agent in the present. they. go that far because there are different scenarios possible we have actually very few facts right now as to what happened in the british town of bree so me as a member of the public that is a visitor what we know from the history is that because we're the revelations were first made about a new feature of by members of the russian the soviet chemical weapons program in october of ninety two that was of several weeks of to do

conclusion of the negotiations of the chemical weapons convention though the consequence of that is that no wieczorek as an agent or at least as a family of agents together with the possible precursors have not been included in the source of chemicals that are on the chemical weapons convention so there has been no declarations by russia to the effect of the possession the manufacture or the chemical searches of those agents and this is what is now creating a sphere of uncertainty sphere all for many of the stuff you write here because i think it's a very interesting point and it is often made in the western media first of all when those revelations were made russia was not there full signature in not a full member to the chemical weapons convention and second of all correct me if i'm wrong but the convention actually allows all the participants to engage and

develop nerve agents in small quantities for scientific medical even defense of purposes as long as the quantity is under one hundred grams you actually allowed to do that am i wrong the. basis of what you're saying is correct. it is misleading the way you put it first and foremost russia as a state party to the chemical weapons convention when they joined the treaty in december of ninety ninety seven its first obligation was to declare all activities and. information concerning those activities. weapons after the first of june the hundred forty six the point i was making is that russia as never made such a declaration with respect to agents and the russian state and says that it has never actually preceded that with that program because at that time it was the

soviet union rather than russia as a member of the international community in carrying out a dot work just over a particular point you're saying russia is officially the success of state to the soviet union it has assumed all the responsibilities of the previous state under international law the soviet negotiated the treaty the final months of. russia from the as those negotiations if you any of collapsed in one thousand nine hundred one it wasn't that the soviet union that was negotiating there be accessing to that treaty it was russia but anyway even if there were some lack of transparency on the soviet union part i honestly don't know the history of that to argue about that even if that was the case is that enough to advance the very serious allegations that the british government is advancing because at the end of the day we have two nuclear powers accusing each other or at

least one accusing another of using chemical weapons on its territory in so subjecting in the general population to the very very damaging in fact of this agent but the very point is that. the programs were conducted the russia as the successor state to do so here union was responsible to destroy all the facilities where chemical weapons were destroyed where they were struck by how they have received quite a bit of western assistance in terms of achieving the program that everything russia has declared has been destroyed in september of last year that has been certified by d o p c w. that is not of central to the accusation that's being made against russia is that it consoles an agent that was declared by a muslim in me mr sanders with all due respect not declaring an agent is

a different claim from the president of the country ordering the assassination on a foreign soil and this is the letter claimed that the foreign secretary of boris johnson is advancing against russia if russia is found in me or at the soviet union was found in violation of that treaty that would be something different and the consequences for that would be totally different than accusing a country or a country's president of ordering assassinations of foreign citizens do you see the difference or priest what they're trying to explain in this situation is that because it was the clear because no victual can it's precursors are not listed in the weapons convention there is no way that the international community has been able to verify what the agents are how much ever was produced and where it comes from now one of the things of the investigation that's now being carried out by. inspectors at the invitation of the united kingdom the review i

hope that's something chemical forensics do will review whether it was recently produced it will reveal what's is the precursor agents were that were used and it's a manufacture it may be able to. i will see whether it was done in the laboratory in a small quantity or was it it's something that was produced in one which is now saying is that we have to wait for the study so for the information to come out just to make a much more informed judgment what politicians do is what politicians do they speak and they are very loud in their tree on both sides well mrs anderson we have to take a short break but we will be back in just a few moments stay tuned. lots

of countries in europe to understand that russia is and take part of the you are pending you cannot think about a prosperous europe and developing your foot if you if you don't see russia being involved in the european proceeds. that russia is wise. has to be taken into account dishonestly. the most expensive fish in a will each one is selling for but tens of thousands of euros it continues to grow its entire life if it was thirty years old you might have a two ton fish out there and yet they don't get that big today because we're way too good at catching. it's only women and self a much larger mission was once there and that was much more widely distributed we have politicians that are in office for a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term our

system is not suited and is not cleared for long term survival and that's why we have to contest the season. welcome back to bill to buy the john pascal zanders they had of the trench a research initiative dedicated to the future of design moment this is anders just before the break we were talking about various allegations leveled against russia by the u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson and one of the claims he made was that for the past decade russia has been pursuing some sort of clint dustin nerve agent progress which if that's the case would be a definite violation of the chemical weapons convention. and from what i know the convention actually allows britain and any other country any other signatory to precede a formal inspection if they have any intelligence or any suspicions why do you

think britain hadn't pursued dot through it before the tragic incident in salisbury well the particular allegation of production and maintaining. the program surprised me my impression was all was that while russia had declared the program it was. noted and the stocks or so were destroyed afterwards so. that's because it conflicts with what. was now in terms of your p c w procedure. where. the british prime minister made her statement. last week the way it is being presented basically suggests that this was

a shadow of the procedure of the article in one of the chemical weapons convention that particular article calls for consultations now as you have already told me several times as everybody has been witnessed that was what a discreet maneuver it was one that. carried over to media of waves very loudly however the critical part in article nine is a paragraph or two which is the request for clarification and if i. understand it correctly it is bitter precisely that that your foreign minister mr lover of has been asking for. a thinking because this is the first time that particular provision of the chemical weapons convention is being invoked or may be invoked it has not yet been invoked may impression is that logan is going to wait for the results from the c.w.

tests. that they will take with them to have an a-list and independent laboratories where these that information comes in i think it may be possible that long is going to initiate article two to seek clarification of that's a very formal process in which countries must respond within very precise deadlines indicated in the article you mentioned. the speech that that theresa may gave before the parliament and she used a very interesting wording to describe the substance offered type developed by russia not produced just developed so. my take i may be biased by the russian propaganda by my take is that she's talking about the historic origins of that substance and just last year we had another very high profile and nerve agent poisoning of the house brother to the north korean leader at the kuala lumpur

airport he was poisoned with the use of the v. x. nerve agent we was originally developed by british scientists back in the one thousand fifty's if we use the same logic here do you think it would be correct to attribute that attack to the united kingdom because it was carried out with the use of an agent that was of a type a region and originated in the united kingdom to also the very first part of your question in russia as you have already indicated in several of your questions people who make a very sharp distinction. between the period before december of ninety one when the soviet union were broke up and the period afterwards in the west in general people are going to make that particular distinction sharply even if people would be immediately of the so. if the word russia is used they refer to an earlier period that would be almost synonymous with the soviet union

however to come to your second point of which is very good to question the difference with the. choke is a while it was discovered just the german nerve agents of from before and during the war a spark of. research that lowers agent was adopted by many countries including the soviet union a sport of its chemical warfare arsenal with the rule of its will cover for there is only one of coventry the soviet union that is associated with a. particular approach it so the differences that the for her and the way of producing v x is widely know has been used by many countries and is discussed in quite a bit of. if you were to research the scientific data bases for the literature

on those so far have come up with one single paper and the proposed ration for the horses for dior proceed mr sanders with all due respect the creator of the very nerve agent has immigrated to the united states is on record in several interviews actually saying that the weapon could have been synthesised in any country by highly skilled professionals and he publicly i mean he published a formula in his own book i think twelve or perhaps fifteen years ago i understand that does not exclude russia from the least of possible suspects but i would think that it also increases or broadens the number of. potential alternative explanations don't you think so well. as with the. information is widely available and you may recall today is the anniversary of

the attack by who should we kill in the tokyo underground. and also prepare and try to assassinate a number of people who if that were those saying is this for real is the new both states laboratories and the program literature with a movie choke isn't it if mr. publish the structures of. in his book so far there is no independent scientific verification of that when people were trying to understand what the searcher was and synthesis. in small quantities as part of their research that never came up with the formula indicated in the bio be submitted saotome now many in moscow from what i know are skeptical that nova truck was used in the first place because this particular group of nerve

agents are described as highly toxic and extend to instantaneous in their action if the cripple family was indeed targeted by another chuck isn't it perplexing to your at least that barest reported to be a life well that's part of the mystery of the story and it's a very good question so far we have received no information which version of the movie was used we must be conceived of a family of nerve agents or which of a number of similarities but there are over one hundred chemical structures believed to be part of the family three were very advanced in their development for military purposes and to the best of my understanding is woven was a solid so it would have to be disseminated as a powder and the sole one version was a liquid and one version was in other words the two final precursors still have to

react with each other to make the final version now we have no information yet as to whether the agent used in the nation a term was a solid or a liquid if it would've been a solid than it's almost impossible that an individual did it however at the same time it would explain why there are no witnesses to have said they saw somebody attacking. because such a person if it will has been a liquid or a liquid spray would have had to wear gloves protective equipment gas mask and so forth right now. of the hope of circulating in the western media i do with if it's true but actually was delivered through different emotions system of his or. just a solid a soul it's is difficult to absorb in the body and it would take

longer to explain why they were still able to walk such a distance and of course once they go to medication. from the womb medication the may have been a lot of so again we have to know what the basic facts or before we can say anything serious about possible scenarios you know we had correct murray on our t. recently he's a former you can basser to his back to stan and one of the biggest skeptics of the case official narrative and he raised an interesting point he said that if what boris johnson salves is true that russia has indeed have has had this clandestine program trying to develop nova chuck it must have spent millions of dollars on it why then blow it all on assassinating one person and his daughter who russia itself released to the british authorities eight years ago i understand that

many people in the west perhaps believe that the russians are absolutely brazen and evil but. it doesn't seem to make sense from an economic point of view re are not such a rich country to you know spend the millions of dollars on assassinating just one person doesn't doesn't that seem in can grow into well. this is highly speculative i will going to call in to what the british ambassador said i will just repeat to preview spoon i was extremely surprised when the british foreign secretary mr johnson made the allegation of an active. program of infants who can go for chips to the best of who. has spoken with many russian people diplomats and. newer officials over the years to the best of my knowledge of the program had to go all the way side of the plea so i am surprised of this is that i'm going to say and finally mr zandi is the british narrative has been changing quite

a bit first to recent may suggest that that it was possible that the russians were a negligent and lost control of the of these stocks down boris johnson directly accused of plotting a putin of ordering be a fascination now the narrative shifting towards a russia bad behavior in general you made it clear that. you tend to believe the u.k. government more than you believe there are government but i wonder if the way this story has been changing has raced any skepticism in your own mind look the accusations go all of direct involvement of mr putin and so will this is something really leave for the responsibility of the person who don't want to get involved in that i have. relations with a number of russian people in questions of disarmament last november i was invited by. the russian foreign ministry to attend the meeting in sochi on biological

weapons disarmament you know countries have interests we try to work a full disarmament to try to bring people together so that chemical biological weapons are eliminated we knew that states have interests there these interests may look. what purslow preferred interests would be today the wolves the things of those who are experiencing is that ideas very quickly polarized in the media particularly also in the social media they lead their own lives. now all the theorists hope offices heard about the use of movie assassination and they do five to ninety eight percent for an incredible what i will to look at or what the basic facts as the basic facts are that we know very

little the word is very open at least in my own mind as you know it will soon approached very seriously if one wants to let the mechanisms to it or a variable through the chemical weapons convention played a role in conflict mediation then i think we have to look at the facts of the procedures worked out to for a plea at the much lower level floors don't be over here while mr sanders i have nothing to add to that i really think that we owe all deserved to get the facts about the survey regardless of who is the power trader of this horrendous attack because if it was indeed a chemical weapon used on the streets of salisbury i am absolutely sure that most of the russians would be absolutely appalled by that regardless of whether or not that government was of walt anyway we have to leave it there really appreciate your time and i also encourage our viewers to keep the conversation going on our social media pages as for me hope to hear again same place same time here and will to part

. fifteen years ago this month the united states in its so-called coalition of the willing to illegally invaded in occupied iraq and iraq continues to grapple with that fateful decision many call the invasion of iraq a blunder should we call it what it really is a crime. when lawmakers manufacture consent to stick to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect

this hour is headline stories surrounding day till harvesting from facebook takes another turn as britain's defense ministry is revealed to have eight cambridge a little bit sick as a parent company for psychological profiling of target audiences also ahead this hour. police body come footage reveals the moment officers fatally shoots an all armed block mom in california after mistaking his mobile phone for a gun. debate rages in poland after the fall there of the country's prime minister's ses the jews. willingly to the nazi established the warsaw ghetto during the occupation and the second world war.

one minutes past eight am this friday morning here in the russian calcutta my name's you know neil welcome to our t.v. international our top story britain's defense ministry how it's being caught up in the scandal surrounding cambridge. the company accused of collecting personal data from millions of facebook members and then exploiting it for political goals it has been revealed the ministry paid cambridge analytic his parent company s c l group for what's being described does human and social influence work on top of the the firm was reportedly granted access to secret government documents it also reportedly carried out research to see how people would interact with certain government messaging picking up the story for us here's polly go. cambridge on

a ticket is seemingly everywhere apart from helping the campaign to victory by using information harvested from millions of facebook profiles it turns out the company's services have been used by the british government to cambridge on the parent company is called the f c l group the whistleblower who on earth the facebook data breach calls the two entities as c.e.o. and cambridge on the one in the same s.c.l. used to be on the payroll of the british defense ministry thanks to a freedom of information request from twenty six d. we know that in two thousand and eleven the energy paid for the provision of external training and in twenty fifteen it paid us for psychosocial research to top it all off s.c.l. got the green light to hold british government secrets on its premise this britain's information commissioner's already investigating cambridge analytic over

the facebook data breach but in light of the defense contracts with its parent company as c l the chair of britain's home affairs select committee is now demanding a why did government investigation into the company's activities there are now growing concerns about whether there should be a wider investigation into the to reduce there are concerns about the implications for democracy about information being used in an illegitimate way and no one has the chance to counteract it and the traces real problems outside of the u.k.'s c l's and cambridge on the list of his client list reads like a who's who of contentious elections and political hot spots cambridge on the list it was hired by kenya's ruling party ahead of its elections last year the company is accused of stoking ethnic tensions and manipulating voters online prejudices to help kenya's leaders stay in power the company's also accused of orchestrating

political. ration zone their clients political rivals and circulating the evidence online among s.c.l. is clients was ukraine it was hired by the kiev government to help recapture the self-proclaimed republic of donetsk. it was contracted to deliver a data driven strategy for the ukrainian government in pursuit of the goal to win back control of the netscape findings replied to designed localized communications campaigns to erode and weaken the people's republic this particular campaign didn't bear much fruit for the ukrainian government the website reveals yet another tied to the british government the ukraine report it says was delivered to kiev and shared with the u.k.'s ministry of defense i don't really believe the ministry of defense should be involved in a company one arm of which at least in. the series of campaigns around the

world of propaganda and manipulation apparently and political interference secondly i don't really see why the ministry of defense is in any case spending huge amounts of money. on a propaganda work and finally the question of secrecy i mean apparently this company was given access to top secret information and this seems to me to be an extremely. worrying revelation it's likely that the next chapter in the cambridge analytical scandal won't be its links to facebook but to governments around the world including the u.k. . to another ever headline stories this hour bali come video has been released showing the moment u.s. police fatally shot and all armed black man in his grandmother's backyard the incident happened in the city of sacramento last sunday when officers responded. to

a suspect breaking car windows in the area they say they mistook the man's smartphone for a weapon and opened fire on him twenty times. nine one one one question the emergency. manager for check back eric. for the. man with a black. eye got a guy in a back yard. i get up to try to catch up. thank. you.

let's get in on lethal hit him a couple times is that before we. let you guys we're going to hand. we're going to go you're. the victim is twenty two year old stephan clark he was married a father of two and a former student and sacramento high school. well more than eleven hundred people were killed in twenty seven dean alone by us police it was reported the throat the whole year only fourteen days went without a fatal police incident in response sucker mento police have placed the officers

involved in the fatal shooting on paid administrative leave the cases i've reached locals who are demanding justice demonstrations took place at supplemental city hall and protesters even blocked a basketball arena before an n.b.a. game the blocked lives matter movement is calling the incident murder and demanding answers we spoke to sonya lewis from meant they don't take any value black life because we are collateral damage we've always been when it comes to this history at the end of the day the motive has always been a lack of value for black life or black bodies and so it's easy to shoot first ask questions later sort things out after the facts come up with nearer to the evidence that don't fit what actually was taking place during the time of the incident so when you come out with the story and say yes he had a good or at the in the next story was he had a tool bar or crow bar and then the next story was he had

a branch to find out that he was shot with a cell phone in his hand we want to see those officers prosecuted for their decision to shoot their guns twenty shots we could no longer live with them be satisfied with officers being fired or given slaps on the wrist for murdering people in our units the. debate over the history of the holocaust house reached a boiling point in poland the father of the current prime minister and he's a former politician himself has sparked controversy with recent remarks do you know who chased the jews away to the warsaw ghetto the germans you think know the jews themselves when because they were told they would be an enclave that they would not have to deal with those nasty poles. well the polish government was quick to distance itself from the comments but the interview was slammed not only in israel but by polls as well i agree voices say that such comments are offensive to the

memory of those who died at the hands of the nazis. well the issue of the holocaust was focused on in poland after a new law was adopted there last month it made it illegal to accuse the nation of complicity in the atrocity on prohibited the use of the phrase polish death camp we spoke to professor israel charny from the institute for holocaust and genocide i'm going to have the opportunity to make at least one pro polish position statement and then is that the concentration camps in poland i agree they should not be called the polish concentration camps they were nazi

concentration camps in poland but beyond that the insistence on the creation of a law that is it is illegal to discuss what the poles did in the holocaust is an insult to humanity. the poems did many things on both sides of the fence all of the truth should be brought. actually. cyber security giant. warned its customers about a highly sophisticated piece of malware doing the runs that can steal your private data however by highlighting the threat the firm is now being accused of undermining u.s. anti terror operations kaspersky hasn't densified who was behind the malware but

a media company called cyber scoop claims it's part of a classified u.s. program that targets potential terrorists and that by revealing it has essentially been the operation the antivirus love explained it is to protect people against such malware and gave its own warnings about the malicious program falling into the wrong. we detect and remain eate all forms of malicious programs regardless of origin or purpose furthermore the company does not whitelist any malware samples not even malware used for so called legal sort of billions one can easily imagine the situation in which such malware falls into the wrong hands and can be used to launch attacks against law enforcement we're just regular users. cyber espionage program is allegedly code named slingshots let's able to steal large amounts of data including images and passwords from infected computers using internet writers

well a sophisticated model where is thought to have been online for over half a decade already now targets of that model were held being discovered in africa and the middle east with over half the text believed to be from kenya and yemen generally it has targeted the computers of individuals but in some cases it may have breach government institutions now we spoke with a security expert about dangers of the so-called slingshot program. after examining it for some time we can confidently say that it is intended as a cyber espionage because all it does is collect data from your computer what makes this malware so dangerous is that it's they don't do the radar for quite a long time we discovered it last year we can't use this model when the operators of this middleware were using it obtaining data and remaining unnoticed because this marijuana is so good balanced and uses many tricks to avoid detection. the

u.s. president is a readying his new picks to fill in the gaps of the white house we look at the new line up after this break. i played for many clubs 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 super money. and spending to get the

twenty million. it's an experience like nothing else because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game a great chance for. the. quarter of an hour into the program you're very welcome back donald trump has revealed who will take over security adviser the being appointed is former u.n. ambassador john bolton who is known for his strong stance on north korea and iran but the appointment was made in typical trump style on twitter the u.s. president also use the social media platform earlier this month when he fired his secretary of state rex tillerson and has

a look at what could be behind the latest entry through washington's rival thing to work. he is the third national security advisor to the donald trump administration in the last fourteen months john bolton is a long time advocate of the use of force against iran and against north korea now those are two countries that are rather vital for the trumpet ministration in the coming months in may donald trump will have to weigh in on the iran deal whether or not it will continue and furthermore the usa is on the verge of carrying out the historic meeting the first meeting between a head of state of the usa and the leader of the democratic people's republic of korea so at this point a lot of questions remain so the fact that john bolton has been selected is rather interesting i think they want to make peace i think it's time so it could be a long and unproductive meeting or it could be assured unproductive meeting we hope that these new measures directed at the arena of dictatorship will compel the

government to reevaluate its pursuit of terror at the expense of its people well i think he's on the verge of making a mistake i think his advisors are pushing him in the wrong direction you know honestly the certification question is utterly irrelevant john bolton served as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations under the administration of george w. bush and his appointment was quite controversial at that time for statements he had made harshly criticizing the united nations can trail donald trump was quite critical of military intervention isn't by the united states saying that he wanted to stop toppling regimes however john bolton is a long time advocate for military interventions around the world so questions remain about what this will mean with big developments on the horizon regarding iran and north korea former u.s. diplomat jim joe truths tulis the appointment of john bolton could undertake the

situation with tehran. a lot of people mistakenly said that during the campaign trump said he would tear up the agreement because it was a very bad agreement he did exactly said that he said it was a very bad agreement but he likes to make bad agreements good i think he came in with the notion that if he was threatening and up we could get the europeans on board and pressure the russians and the chinese to say that we want to add missile technology and not threatening israel a lot of other things to the agreement to change the greenman to something he likes better maybe that's still their game plan maybe they think if they have somebody who is sufficiently bellicose they can scare the europeans and decided with the americans i'm changing the agreement and not have to pull out of it but i have no doubt now that regime change is going to be a cardinal conscious goal of american policy and failing that there would be an attempt to do so by military means. ok just moving all know this our german

research years have discovered that the technology buying cryptocurrency such as bitcoin contain hundreds of links to child pornography essentially threatening the legal existence of bit calling itself the system known as block chain is a decentralized record of transactions across many computers that cannot be altered . block chain you've probably heard the word but aren't entirely clear on what it is blocking technology is like a digital accounting used for digital currencies like bitcoin transactions are recorded in blocks that are linked together in a chain each block has what's known as a hash the unique code that's like a fingerprint a block also stores the hash of the preceding block in the chain one reason this technology is so secure is that if you tamper with a particular long it's hash will no longer match up the one on the next block that block invalid finally each blog containing some data typically this consists of

transaction details sender receiver and the amount of crypto currency sent there can be some surprise data finds for example the big point log chain was found to contain the mandela photo coin logo and the tribute to cryptographer lens sassaman but some of the surprises. german research has uncovered that the bitcoin block chain contains hundreds of links to child pornography as well as an indecent image of someone who looked under age having a copy of the coin block chain will be illegal now that's a bit worrying as another aspect of the way blocking technology works is that everyone who uses it gets a copy of the entire block. so users could unwittingly the law of course the problem isn't peculiar to the bitcoin block chain cryptocurrency use the same technology and their users are just as vulnerable any time we're talking about you know the abuse of a child child prodigy that's you know that's a serious issue that people should take serious regardless of what it involves this

is an issue that should be looked at and i hope investigated and whoever's responsible for it can be held accountable this is a serious case but it's not an end hair problem in the block chain itself even if there is some sort of problem on the big chain where perhaps they could come up with measures prevent to. this sort of thing from happening alternately the technology can be used in any number of different ways and i'm sure there's somebody out there already who's think you know of how to use the technology for the good that it provides but also to provide some sort of security measures that can prevent this kind of thing from happening. stocks plunged down fears are growing of a global trade war after beijing announced plans for reciprocal tara imports from the u.s. . dollar trump china with similar penalties signed an order on the new tariffs and the white house saying it was necessary to counter all new for

competition from beijing. the move targets more than one hundred types of chinese goods ranging from clothes to elektra mix it's estimated to be worth up to six the billion dollars over the past year double trumps on predictable approach to china has left many scratching their heads. the money they take. we can't continue to allow china to rape our country. you know you can have this. relationship you know there's going to be conflict but we have a very good relationship people say we have the best relationship of any president president we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen president she was enjoying it i view them as a friend i have tremendous respect for president she. we have a great relationship what trump is doing now and saying that he thinks trade wars are great and they're easy to win i think poses

a real danger of. economic consequences this is going to raise the prices for a lot of goods to people for people here and the whole presentation by the trump administration that somehow china is raping the united states is just ludicrous it was china of course that suffered from really horrible the horrible effects of imperialist intervention and domination for trump presents is the answer whether it's anti immigrant or tariffs or trade war i really only going to do damage to the same people many of the same people who voted for trump and were deceived by his message. ok r.t. is set to launch a large scale digital project called the romanovs one hundred three thousands of personal photographs and tell us the story of russia's last royal family there for

a century reign ended with the revolution in one nine hundred seventeen a digital music of four thousand photos will begin appearing across social media from the if of april now that date is important marks one hundred days before the centennial anniversary of their execution. well a project with a lot of people to view the last decades of imperial russia interactively and will feature a concert of each royal family member giving a unique narrative of their lives through the photos you can watch out for romanoff's one hundred across all our social platforms in the future including

facebook you tube twitter and instagram. now with less than three months to go until russia hosts its first world cup on the road meeting those aiming to live up to this summer's tournaments the stun cullimore show is next here on twenty four seven are to. the far right. isn't just on the march it's taking violent. action i don't like it that. i see these organizations which are usually

split into which we differ how do you view that. a. complex web of richard. you might even want to get it. but then again. maybe the move to india that you feel you believe just how damaging is this a sort of you. know what about the natural again i've seen

a good deal i'd say because i. think you see them feeling hopeful and i think kids will usually change the rules allow for. how does it feel to be a sheriff the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is one business model helps to run a prison now we do this do or don't like is there no radio visitation i don't know what comes anymore we don't have to serve them anymore it's called the great if that's what they want to do that long thing on your damn if you do the chores or not they're actually paying us to put a mark in during the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the usa in breach what she could is behind such success.

i think everyone every year likely star for each club leaving here. and they open their own academy like for example. my partner he was telling me none but when he would finish until i make spain qatar now when he was finished he would come here in a really open to me for him to me than these all the players when they come here and they open they try to find. a place and to open their whole like i mean we've the license of the club there was playing before because it was more easy to set up all this here. and through the press conference is about to storm a show is to stand in the front row and it's going. to devalue says twenty two simple from across the world. delighted to join one of the free living legends we've been looking. pele on the show and recently saw them on

a little. while you hear him do pointed out. very pleased to be here because then buster the international and search team tournaments invited by the troops on the. very place. because to promote this kind of difference for the kids how important is it. the kids gets access to great coaches great facilities we started playing football in a very different sawing it's quite incredible to think that if the facilities that these young players will get supplied how important is it for them in their development i think is. is very helpful for the development and the improvement in the game but of course result is very important too that you're going to need to work hard every day in the woods to the question that's where you have in your life and you know our values and what you want to achieve very useful to what you think about your country man cristiana renowned off the world cup this

year while there's always the. gold is to do better than the last time know the best result to be had in the world cup is always very very tough because it's the best the nations that to me are playing in this competition and the different cultures through the different styles of football it's not like when you're playing and europe so i think is it is difficult i hope that there christiane you know after so long season can be in shape and in conditions to try to do a great for the world cup well to do is one of the world's great one hundred living players who played in the obviously it's. a disappointment for portugal since ninety nine six and then you type in the next world cup in the semifinal as a captain isn't lead as the focal points of its. importance is it to have that

strong mentality just to help and god your team forwards well i think you have four wish to sink that you can achieve the victory achieved the trophy achieved to the final because if you don't believe on that is better than start. so the competition will be that if you know that is is very is very hard and difficult to win but i think it is since i said to blame the national team. one off the things that my generation brother the change in the in the nation or national team was the mentality because how do you do that i don't know i think because all do all the players and that time probably do they have their mentality to play and then big teams. in foreign next. leeks that helps you and give you the experience and of course the competition to. play in that at that level and of course is the pencil feature on the personality of the characters and the way you want to

win finally if you will don't win they will cook this year we all favorites to win but i think my favorites are the german brazil and china spain france they have a good team too but. i i med photo for germany of course because they're the ones who always a cheer the finals and they have the experience and used in this competition luis great to see you that's right see you in to keep on looking very well you can still buy it though the national stadium it's fair. thank you very much i see it again. so we're here at the burj khalifa of the world's tallest building the free fall will cook trophy we first saw it the type before exact on its monumental tool around the world the freak well you see him in syria we also got to eat at the

world cup draw in moscow in december and stop you know the people of the middle east all absolutely we think of all around the world the trope. it's got many many more balls to go until it gets them version of the stadium the faulting of june two thousand and eighteen when russia play said your idea. can you start to feel the excitement building around the tournament and in your course in russia this year we are still very sad in all of us and do you know me not an exaggeration told you in our previous interviews that russian people realize in war and tool of the well. coronary stand against drum roll of the world and don't forget that the men miss family feel that this is easy to discrimination and i like to keep on the time they do you guys don't need it was that you have only funny the best for them to take it which i always repeat because i think it's going

to be useful for someone who probably didn't see any bald head before. so we here in dubai for a few days to see the show salgado dream of an intercontinental gold between under twelve teams from the events of this realm a trip ball salonga a little pull come to reality. you guys. go you're ok during the course or history to come on really well so all right so what's the problem. have you seen it grow i mean obviously all of the big clubs want to come to the emirates because it's now a big powerhouse generic financial powerhouse will also have to use abby saying the game growth area in the last five or six years a lot you did the good thing is that they have to realize in the past there were mistakes while they were mistake and they want to make up. a name of the league by

bringing in flames with a little face yeah they would be they would be famed to belief and that's what they wanted you know through to you know the people talking about the good locally. you know it's different now they realize that having those names if they don't read the expertise and into the usual what they need won't you know it's a gold star as you know as a sport these very different things and so now with they're starting to realize that he says you know professionalism is. minimal you know they are realizing that even in that was grassroots. there you are a different style it's even the most money you know you guys try to change the image and i see you know for the first time we are trying to organize the french league with experts and local teams in the past it was important people said they would never allow us academies with expos playing locally now they are doing it and

we are you know trying to organize no from the big leagues you know in the old country. i have the countries find it in terms of having this kind of competition i mean obviously most enjoy. twelve year old kids playing against africans and i usually. don't about you it would have been couple when i was twelve years of my kids enough for you to do something about it if it is that you go to if you will to england maybe it's not the kind of surprised that the reason is to protect the thing when you know when to get leverage premier. it wasn't difficult because you know the people in their immediate can do want to play with the relation. of his friends on everything and i think they have to be very little you need to find a balance you know to allow people that go something especially of course because otherwise you just ended up playing against your own country you never develop and that's why england are problems. along with the case from the school

to force you know for things like that like in this in a spain or a no. this is the only you know development. you know that i thought was right no big deal. to remedy that i will go alone sixteen be on the cliff on the fifteenth and one of. the thing is that legal team is going to school somebody where you know when they when they compete at the highest level they go the former from the school you go to to leave the school and become part of the learning process of the law needs you know that's why you want remedy and the best place in remedying that's all you want what you sign is there are huge differences between even european countries i know some colleagues are a lot more open than others to me like last year when the world via i spoke to you meant to say nice i mean what you know what i want to invite in money. and the thing is that we just don't use much in life and to be able to go i would think you

might misunderstand something know we feel ok shortly. and they play. like fifteen tournaments. you know close to go crazy with everyone to watch. somebody. i. said some of the english clubs they want to. put the problem is. rules regulations. against foreign kids in different countries in spite. of that playing fifteen sixteen to one of it's a yeah against african kids against asian kids that can only be good not just from a sporting development book culturally phrasings already have all the british and fifteen minutes of us being a real. one goalie call goalkeeper was

a little fella was messy messy got the front messy was going. to hold. this polish team that when you see a little. kids. despite the stain we see all the kids involved in the academy success lots of me she's all for competition to succeed team positive values that song to show we are real men michelle salgado it was now time to think oh just tastes i'm living a dream i never once weikel from christiane a renowned author it's a it's a theme even in professional dressing rooms on the stand calling will show he would bring to the white woman bring to iceland if you remember. managers pull quotes from flyers to inch five applies from the greit since the site kids to everyone read it's all. for paul i slate football i'm grateful i'm not a monster i am just caution.

well you know that they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in the smaller baltic sea don't harp on ships and you. might not. eliminate self did being told fish already ninety percent of it daryn got any ball in the collar. contemplations coops seventy five tons they do it several times a day with the big fleets now you get an idea right ocean. we have to understand we could not stay still it would just. be witness of the

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. loans we wouldn't. even you don't see why sued the teachers what they did they could put it. to what they need most through only ten spaces you. may be. left alone kelly said. claiming to know german did specify that to. alex you speak french. yes. let's see them send them football to new possibilities talk of this

busy cutoffs leftist calls. the most expensive fish in the world each one is selling for tens of thousands of euros it continues to grow its entire life if it was thirty years old you might have a two ton fish out there and yet they don't get that big today because we're way to good catching. it's only when i'm themself a much larger mission was once there and that was much more widely distributed we have politicians that are in office for a few years they have to get reelected everything is very very short term our system is not suited and is not cleared for long term survival and that's why we have the catastrophes out.

or he's got some skill i'm going to tell going to be the friend. of kong quite much you would feel like when i was twelve years of age i was playing a bloke you could see just against local trains something could have been the most excited kid in the world a father for. twelve one credible. on

camera. calling. how important is it for kids aged twelve to together intercontinental tournament yeah i think you think you're a great disappearance for the kids to play how do you guys that come from all their work throws that play and probably another for both so they can improve and we can improve with them so it's important i think for the other kids sperry excited to be here yes of course it is a. very big opportunities for us and something. that sounds to me that i don't wait to play football either way to. complete. the match and i think it's been legal for food and then we hope that the. day they will

be recognized. day that informs half of the senate. side to culture what are you looking forward to going to take there for a few bucks. as they get older so these age groups a lot of the boys will be in our schools yeah so we can we can manipulate our school program around their games but told us reply to all of them the just we go get lectures we'll you know pretty well so i maybe just four or five police here that are in all the schools long as we clever and such but in terms of when we do the child was that fine it was all of them in school holidays so we could you know well see we don't have time on top off so i mean treasury takes the holidays. and

the jews holidays we can we can get four or five children just in those days we don't have to affect school so what i mean we. usually. the ring used to ring you talk about. expensive travel and you know why it's much different so when we come up role. playing games worry about winning so we can get a problem sometimes we can control these games we don't have to worry about what do we want to when you want to. learn involvement web or the know when. it was ok did you want to. stop them for selection and choosing the right so kids on an issue isn't the only way things go it just becomes a little bit different. a right we might all of them all taught school we might choose to live wouldn't be cheap to try and win something. if we did all the time most of the detriment a lot of players so we've got to make sure that your stuff and clever we don't use

the english thing you know the big strong with weak we can't be counted off. to be joined by the legend. the world. and then the next monday. from boy. so how important was youth football to go into the mines. but i mean we import them to go home for an opening. for fish. boys. and he. said. but i think the. important to me that laid out a room with one of their. profession i need. to get in

and finally you know french pull her. well i'm agin team football very well. bro greaseman do what you guys did in ninety nine so yeah i'm kind of you know missing out to raise incredible trophy while winning the world cool. as was the feeling when they sounded on this at the end of the recording quality it's a long long haul build it out though may see the law to allow those who have invested agonies my old well why let it get me many that much in on it on the most on the loading more important than this. little girl get through all this shit i'm going to do something else a lot of those people rush and i miss you know i mean by the only people thank you very much for joining us thank you thank you very much. would you love to see people i host a local some guy. i think if you take the possibility in all in that it's

from the top down or here on the y. already in charge there are other merits we have talked about last months there was a. what to call it every other month and once we were there playing with. a why you'd sooner because the facility was to meet me in the stadium is right this is more than sixty thousand and sixty thousand to take all this thing facility different needs make the apply i'm all the embedded one day it's easy to host the world cup. how did you find the first three days of the tournament what amazing to me i was off i think we fulfill what we want to do is no different than is already the best ins compete in india for the entire world we're going as we always tell you ventures and it will be why spend his money about phone up why diction al-ali which is one of the biggest guys in the war also being no cows read all russian and it's

always real for me this is a rebuttal because we're not. why five years ago. it was like you know what they were. what was the whole thing was this was you know i wanted to. really boom and in the grassroots in the way i know that they like the organization like the. professionals and so when i want to change things and i think you know they're realizing that we can change things and the only way to change things he's telling you the kids with the best ones. because i'll. tell you to play in this tournament that i need a really. special. night and the fact that he had. just been especially

interesting when teaching them he really has. a stern message and also you coaching yesterday one on one which is really important to get for them to get that kind of experience with what you think your boys have learned a lot of things that you know the first thing to shape you know when they play how to defend be i didn't know how to read beyond the board transitions in you know talk in defending the most important depression you know up to one of the games you know they need to know when they're winning when there was you know going to the games. how do under the pressure when we did this all down the street around it's a game that you support and i think for him for most of them is the first time that they call you know the studs before you know it shall be and. you know the rest of the teams when they see the bunch of gravity but i don't know how do you feel if it's something different as well song apart from the technical part of course because you know all the rocks which they need they need to know. when they are you know on the one in your life when they know you know how they won so your strengths

on the strength of the. points are different. salvi so many technical things but us what are so many competitive michelle thank you that seems still to play and i don't like your pick at every move. because.

it's a quite incredible sport that we have and it's incredible powerful thing so congratulations to you for bringing so many people together thank you so much on camera shall i tell you thank you. lou. fifteen years ago this month the united states in its so-called coalition of the willing to illegally invaded in occupied iraq and iraq continues to grapple with that fateful decision many call the invasion of iraq a blunder should we call it what it really is

a crime. they're bred for a single purpose. they have a superman. they start training very young. take months of intensive schooling. rats. and they save lives. well you know the fires they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i've been there in the small ball of sticks in a hard pool of ships and it's still. not up to. the limo self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dock and he won't

recover. qantas fifteen scoops seventy five tonnes they do it several times a day with a clean no you get an idea of why. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be within this the deal for you because you are. i'm doing this because i want the future world to the future generations to have out and enjoy the ocean we have. time to study male bed of the attack you might even want to get it. but let it get out of. petal gunnedah be my mom come again i know god don't do well think of

that. making the move to india without giving him a boot just like image is consistent if you want. to know but i'm actually good at the way i stop to look at it like a city because he. thinks it is fulfilling a hopeful because i think kids will use this. new venue don't says it was the teachers who are to get a court to do. what they do not through only ten spaces to. make. left alone kelly said. semana claiming to know servant

is mostly that the. alex you speak french. musette those of us who all of us i mean if he was sent down fulton newton was born it is talk of the sun disposition cut down towards the left is called. love.

data harvesting from facebook takes another turn britain's defense ministry is revealed to have paid cambridge parent company for psychological profiling of target audience is also ahead. police footage reveals the moment officers fatally shoots an all norm black man in california after mistaking his mobile phone for a gun. debate rages in poland for the fall of the country's prime minister saying he's the jews went willingly to the nazi established warsaw ghetto during occupation in the second world. and u.s. president trump picks john bolton else's new national security advisor he's known

for his negative stance on iran and north korea bolton was also in favor of war against both those come. every year chiming in from around the world welcome to moscow and to r.t. international my names you know neal good to have your company our top story britain's defense ministry as being caught up in the scandal surrounding cambridge . the company accused of collecting personal data from millions of facebook members and then exploiting it for political goals it's been revealed about the ministry paid cambridge analytic is purring company group for what's being described as a human social influence work on top of the firm was reportedly granted access to secret government documents it's also said to have carried out research to see how

people would interact with certain government messaging picking up the story for us here's polly boyko. cambridge on a day to is seemingly everywhere apart from helping the campaign to victory by using information harvested from millions of facebook profiles it turns out the company's services have been used by the british government to cambridge on the it's a parent company is called the f c l group the whistleblower who on the facebook data breach calls the two entities as c.e.o. and cambridge on the one in the say s c l used to be on the payroll of the british defense ministry thanks to a freedom of information request from twenty sixth we know that in two thousand and eleven the energy paid to s.c.l. for the provision of external training and in twenty fifteen it paid us for psycho social research to top it all off s c l got the green light to hold british

government secrets on its premise this britain's information commissioner's already investigating cambridge analytical over the facebook data breach but in light of the defense contracts with its parent company as c l the chair of britain's home affairs select committee is now demanding a why did government investigation into the company's activities there are now growing concerns about whether there should be a wider investigation into the to reduce there are concerns about the implications for democracy about information being used in an illegitimate way and no one has the chance to contract it and the traces real problems outside of the u.k.'s c l's and cambridge on the list of his client list reads like a who's who of contentious elections and political hot spots cambridge on the it was hired by kenya's ruling party ahead of its elections last year the company is accused of stoking ethnic tensions and manipulating voters online prejudices to

help kenya's leaders stay in power the company's also accused of orchestrating political. sting operations on their client's political rivals and circulating the evidence online among a seal's clients was ukraine it was hired by the kiev government to help recapture the self-proclaimed republic of donetsk. this seal was contracted to deliver a data driven strategy for the ukrainian government in pursuit of the goal to win back control of the netsky findings replied to designed localized communications campaigns to erode and weaken the jeannette's people's republic this particular campaign didn't bear much fruit for the ukrainian government though the website reveals yet another tied to the british government the ukraine report it says was delivered to kiev and shared with the u.k.'s ministry of defense i don't really believe the ministry of defense should be involved in

a company one arm of which at least in a series of campaigns around the world of propaganda and manipulation apparently and political interference secondly i don't really see why the ministry of defense is in any case spending huge amounts of money. on a propaganda work and finally the question of secrecy i mean apparently this company was given access to top secret information and this seems to me to be an extremely. worrying revelation it's likely that the next chapter in the cambridge analytical scandal well be its links to facebook but to governments around the world including the u.k. . protests are growing in the u.s. city of sacramento after the release of body killed video showing the moment us police fatally shot an all or black man in his grandmother's backyard the incident

happened last sunday when officers responded to a suspect breaking car windows in the area police say they mistook the man's smartphone for a weapon and opened fire on him twenty times. nine one one was ok some emergency. climate change the backyard. for the. man with the black. i got a guy in our back yard. but when. i get up to try to catch up.

on the. let's get in on lethal hit him a couple times is that before we. let you guys want to go hands cover i. know you're. the victim is twenty two year old stefan clarke what is known about him is not he was a follower of two and a former student sacramento high school. well more than eleven hundred people were killed in twenty seventeen alone by us police it was reported that throughout the whole year only fourteen days went with other thief to police incident in response

sacramento place of place the officers involved in the fatal shooting on paid administrative leave. the cases are drage locals who are demanding justice demonstrations took place in the city hall. to king's basketball arena a major highway was also blocked the blocked lines mother movement is calling the incident murder and demanding answers we spoke to some new lewis who is part of the movement they don't take any value black life because we are collateral damage we've always been when it comes to this history at the end of the day the motive has always been a lack of value for black life or black bodies and so it's easy to shoot first ask questions later sort things out after the facts come up with nearer to the evidence that don't fit what actually was taking place during the time of the incident so when you come out with the story and say yes he had

a good or at the in the next story was he had a tool bar or crow bar then the next story was he had a branch to find out that he was shot with a cell phone in his hand we want to see those officers prosecuted for their decision to shoot their guns twenty shots we could no longer live with and be satisfied with officers being fired or given slaps on the wrist for murdering people in our unity. ok moving to another over a headline stories debate over the history of the holocaust house reach boiling point in poland the father of the current prime minister who is a former politician himself a spark controversy with recent remarks do you know who chased the jews away to the wall so it gets into the germans you think no the jews themselves when because they were told they would be an enclave that they would not have to deal with those nasty poles. well the polish government was quick to distance itself from the comments but the interview was slammed in israel by paul as well i agree forces say

that such comments are offensive to the memory of those who died at the hands of penalties. well the issue of the holocaust was again a focus in poland for a new law was adopted there last month it made it illegal to accuse the nation of complicity in the atrocity of the use of the phrase a polish death camp we spoke to professor israel charny from the institute for holocaust and genocide. i'm going to have the opportunity to make at least one pro polish position statement and then is that the concentration camps in poland i agree they should not be called the polish

concentration camps they were nazi concentration camps in poland but beyond that the insistence on the creation of a law that is it is illegal to discuss what the poles did in the holocaust is an insult to humanity the poem's did. many things on both sides of the fence all of the truth should be brought out. actually. betting states were double trump revealed who will take over his new security advisor the mum being appointed is former u.n. ambassador john bolton who is known for his strong stunts on north korea and around the appointment was made in typical trump style on twitter the us president also

maybe social media platform earlier this month when he fired his secretary of state rex tillerson kill him up and look at what's could be coming through washington's revolving door. he is the third national security adviser to the donald trump administration in the last fourteen months and john bolton is a long time advocate of the use of force against iran and against north korea now those are two countries that are rather vital for the trumpet ministration in the coming months in may donald trump will have to weigh in on the iran deal whether or not it will continue and furthermore the usa is on the verge of carrying out the historic meeting the first meeting between a head of state of the usa and the leader of the democratic people's republic of korea so at this point a lot of questions remain so the fact that john bolton has been selected is rather interesting i think they want to make peace i think it's ties in so it could be

a long and unproductive meeting or it could be a short non productive meeting we hope that these new measures directed at the arena of dictatorship will compel the government to reevaluate its pursuit of terror at the expense of its people well i think he's on the verge of making a mistake i think his advisors are pushing him in the wrong direction you know honestly the certification question is utterly irrelevant john bolton served as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations under the administration of george w. bush and his appointment was quite controversial at that time for statements he had made harshly criticizing the. nations can trail donald trump was quite critical of military intervention isn't by the united states saying that he wanted to stop toppling regimes however john bolton is a long time advocate for military interventions around the world so questions remain about what this will mean with big developments on the horizon regarding iran and north korea you know there's been lots of reaction to this including from

former u.s. diplomat jim just tourists who told us the appointment of john bolton could aggravate the situation with. a lot of people mistakenly said that during the campaign trump said he would tear up the agreement because it was a very bad agreement he did exactly said that he said it was a very bad agreement but he likes to make bad agreements good i think he came in with the notion that if he was threatening and up we could get the europeans on board and pressure the russians and the chinese to say that we want to add missile technology and not threatening israel a lot of other things to the agreement to change the green meant to something he likes better maybe that's still their game plan maybe they think if they have somebody who is sufficiently bellicose they can scare the europeans and decided with the americans i'm changing the agreement and not have to pull out of it but i have no doubt now that regime change is going to be a cardinal conscious goal of american policy and failing that there would be an

attempt to do so by military means. i want to bring you to the middle east where tens of followers sins of civilians have mullets to escape the syrian enclave of eastern near damascus this month after the russian defense ministries re conciliation centra struck a deal with some of the militant groups in the area well these are exclusive drone pictures obtained by our ripley video agency you can see there at buses which are reportedly tarring militancy used to occupy eastern ghouta together with their families it's part of a deal which guarantees them safe passage in exchange for letting thousands of civilians arts off the war ravaged area on thursday around four hundred militants left as well as fifteen hundred civilians all the civilians have been provided to with food medicine and shelter the militants meanwhile will reported to be moved to

the rebel held city of in northern syria. could links to child pornography are detected in the technology behind crypto currencies like bitcoin the story in newark ninety seconds. lots of countries in europe to understand that russia is and take part of europe endure cannot think about prosperous europe and developing your foot if you use your head on to see russia being involved in over european proces. that russia is royce. has to be taken into account and sourness of course. seems wrong. when old rules just don't hold. any gold yet to shape

out just a constant that's occurred and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. seventeen minutes into the program welcome back cyber security giant. warned its customers about a highly sophisticated piece of malware doing the runs that can steal your private data however by highlighting the threat the firm is now being accused of undermining u.s. terror operations kaspersky else and identified who was behind where but

a media company called cyber claims it's part of a classified u.s. program targets potential terrorists by revealing it has essentially burn the operation the virus lab explained it aims to protect people against such mult where gave its own warning about the malicious program falling into the wrong. detecting remain eate all forms of malicious programs regardless of origin or purpose furthermore the company does not whitelist any malware samples not even malware used for so-called legal surveillance one can easily imagine the situation in which such malware falls into the wrong hands and can be used to launch attacks against law enforcement we're just regular users the cyber espionage program is allegedly code named slingshot and it's able to steal large amounts of data including images and passwords from infected computers using internet writers well the sophisticated

models were is thought to have been online for over a half a decade already targets all of them were have been discovered in africa in the middle east with over one hundred thirty attacks believed to be on yemen and in kennett they generally have targeted the computers of individuals but in some cases it may have preached government institutions now we spoke with a kaspersky security expert by dangers of the so-called slingshot program. after examining it for some time we can confidently say that it is intended as a cyber espionage because all it does is collect data from your computer what makes this malware so dangerous is that it stayed on the radar for quite a long time we discovered it last year we can't use this model when the operators of the smell where we're using it obtaining data and remaining unnoticed because this marijuana is so good balanced and uses many tricks to avoid detection.

german researchers have discovered that the technology behind crypto currency such as bitcoin contains hundreds of links to child pornography essentially threatening the legal existence of bitcoin itself the system known as block chain is a decentralized record of transactions across many computers that cannot be altered . block chain you've probably heard the word but aren't entirely clear on what it is blocking technology is like a digital accounting used for digital currencies like bitcoin transactions are recorded in blocks that are linked together in a chain each block has what's known as a hash a unique code that's like a fingerprint a block also stores the hash of the preceding block in the chain one reason this technology is so secure is that if you tamper with a particular blog it's hash will no longer match up the one on the next block that block invalid find each blog containing some data typically this consists of

transaction details sender receiver and the amount of crypto currency sent there can be some surprise data finds for example the big point block chain was found to contain the mandela photo coin logo and the tribute to cryptographer then sussman but some of the surprises. german research has uncovered that the bitcoin block chain contains hundreds of links to child pornography as well as an indecent image of someone who looked under a tree having a copy of the coin block chain will be illegal now that's a bit worrying as another aspect of the way blocking technology works is that everyone who uses it gets a copy of the entire block. so users could unwittingly. of course the problem isn't peculiar. cryptocurrency use the same technology and their users are just as vulnerable any time we're talking about you know the abuse of a child child prodigy that's you know that's

a serious issue that people should take serious regardless of what it involves this is an issue that should be looked at and i hope investigated and whoever's responsible for it can be held accountable this is a serious case but it's not an end hair problem in the block chain itself even if there is some sort of problem on the big chain where perhaps they could come up with measures to prevent. this sort of thing from happening alternately the technology can be used in any number of different ways and i'm sure there's somebody out there already who's think you know of how to use the technology for the good that it provides but also to provide some sort of security measures that can prevent this kind of thing from happening. stocks have plunged and fears are growing of a global trade war after beijing announced plans for reciprocal tariffs on imports from the u.s. that's after double trump hit china first with trade penalties from signed an order only new targets in the white house saying it was necessary to cling to for

competition from china. where the move targets more than one hundred types of chinese goods ranging from clothing to electronics it's estimated to be worth up to sixty billion dollars over the past year donald trump's on predictable approach to china has left many scratching their heads. the money they take i just basically can't continue to allow china to rape our country. you know you can have this. relationship you know there's going to be conflict but we have a very good relationship people say we have the best relationship of any president president we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen president she was enjoying it i view them as a friend i have tremendous respect for president she. we have a great relationship what trump is doing now and saying that he thinks trade wars are great and they're easy to win i think poses

a real danger of. economic consequences this is going to raise the prices for a lot of goods to people for people here and the whole presentation by the trumpet ministration that somehow china is raping the united states is just ludicrous it was china of course that suffered from really horrible the horrible effects of imperialist intervention in domination for trump presents is the answer whether it's anti immigrant or tariffs or a trade war are really only going to do damage to the same people many of the same people who voted for trump and were deceived by his message. r.t.d. is busy preparing to launch a large scale digital project called the romanovs one hundred through thousands of personal photographs it tells the story of russia's last royal family there for

a century reign ended with the revolution in one nine hundred seventy a digital mosaic of four thousand photos will begin appearing across social media from the it all of april the date marks one hundred days before the centennial anniversary of their execution. it is quite a picture they project is going to allow people to view the last decades of imperial russia effectively interactively i will feature a concert of each royal family member giving a unique nor a tive of their lives through the photos you can watch out for romanoff's one hundred across all or social platforms in the coming weeks including facebook or

you should twitter and instagram. america's broadcaster is up next it's time for larry king. the far right. isn't just on the march it's taking violent mother's action the young might need to hate that. i see these organizations which will usually split into which we take different names how do you view that. complex web of passion.

twenty eighteen coverage we've signed one of the greatest. but there was one more question and by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you on the us he's a huge star and a huge amount of pressure you have to be the center of the beach. and you'll see the great great you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join us for the two thousand and three in the world cup in russia. the special one was also appreciated meets just like the review teams the latest edition of make up as we go. look.

a white house furious over leaks we'll talk about it on this edition of politics. politicking on larry king president trump and his chief of staff john kelly are reportedly furious over the links in the press that mr trump disregarded his national security teams advice during a to z. call the russian president vladimir putin john kelly called the leak unexceptable and reportedly believes it was a deliberate attempt to embarrass the president insiders say the incident has reinforced donald trump's long held belief that groups within the government even inside his own administration are working to undermine him because none of this

addresses the lingering issue of why the president ignored the advice of the national security team plus and talk about it will begin with. the representative from florida self described bold moves from republican to throwback to teddy roosevelt he joins us from tampa oh what's the what's the big a thought in your mind david is it that the leaks were went out or that the president didn't listen to the advice of the national security people. you know it's really both and first it was something that kind of feeds into a suspicion among many in the country as to the relationship between donald trump and putin and whether or not a u.s. president any president should be congratulating putin on the election victory but to your point secondly larry the fact that something that is so closely held to the president's own desk was leaked out raises

a lot of concern regardless of party or political affiliation and i think there is question today was it somebody within the national security apparatus who has been alleged that perhaps somebody tried to undermine donald trump but we also have to look at the team that donald trump has surrounded himself and their lack of experience this is a president who has been very cavalier and surrounded himself with people with no government experience many frankly with hollywood experience or television experience who are not used to handling classified information so eventually we will probably find out where the leak came from but either way the fact that something leaked out of the white house of this nature is of grave concern should be at least to many americans now about the call. from him so tweeted that fake news media is crazed because they want him to his story. things better relations with russia is more important don't you. yeah you know this is

this is one that cuts both ways between diplomacy and protecting american values and whether it was russia or any other country in the world this is in fact the fine art of diplomacy we know that there have been actions taken by either the nation state that is russia or significant players in the russian either political or economic sphere they have taken actions that have been adverse to u.s. interests and the u.s. intelligence agencies have concluded that that is the case congress passed sanctions to be imposed upon russia donald trump has been very leery of doing that and it has raised this continual question in the united states ever since the emergence of donald trump whether there is more to his relationship with russia or not so yes we need warmer relations and donald trump is correct about that but we also need a president in the mind of the american people that confronts adversaries and in

this case apparently he failed to do so. will get together with. you know you know this is a similar question to north korea there certainly putin is not on the level of the north korean leader the question is should we be excited encouraged about warmer relations with anybody even those that sometimes were adverse to the answer is yes i think there is a question among many in the country whether or not president trump is up to the task of understanding the finer parts of dealing directly with somebody like putin at the end of the day i think every country wishes for peace instead of conflict and so talks are good because they dances hopefully towards peace and not conflict what's the greater threat right now robin all these three women. you know it very well could be the three women because we saw that during the clinton presidency something that started as an investigation into a land deal in arkansas all to mentally unraveled over the president committing

perjury in a case related to women and in this case i don't know that bob miller's his authority would ever reach these three women but frankly they're going to take parallel tracks and i do think at the end of the day the president if he ends up under oath is going to trip him self up the big question here larry is what happens in the u.s. elections in november if democrats take control the house and the president stumbles either with bob mueller or in a legal way with any of these women to democrats move to hold impeachment hearings whether or not they alternately vote on impeachment or not what do you make of trump criticizing moeller by name. i think what trump has succeeded in doing is he has undermined bob miller and terms of credibility with the republican base i think donald trump should leave bob miller alone if donald trump is in a sense he should act like it but his continued attacks on bob muller raise further

suspicions but listen if bob miller were to deliver a report today to the republican controlled congress i'm not sure republicans in congress do anything with it because the republican base is probably going to side with donald trump regardless of what comes out of it what do you expect republicans to do in twenty eight. in those states where he's strong obviously the the incumbents the base will stay with him but what about the rest of the republicans running. you know i think the agenda is already baked for congressional republicans and frankly it's going to be on the tax cut because there's little else they can run on if they presented deregulatory agenda that might work with the chamber of commerce and business community it doesn't really work in terms of your main street voters and they're wrestling republicans are wrestling right now with this heroes in the support among white voters compared to four years ago among suburban voters compared to four years ago republicans are wrestling with the fact that all the

energy is on the left and republicans on the hill frankly are terrified because all signs are pointing to a democratic takeover of the house there is very little good news in here in this for republicans right now if you run and embrace trump you hold your base but you lose the independents if you distance yourself from trump you might pick up the independents but you lose your base donald trump has redefined republican politics and nobody has found a way to be successful except for donald trump in this new republican party if democrats take the house and your former member of the august body you expect them to start impeachment proceedings. i certainly think there will be hearings and here's what i mean by that we know based on where muller is investigating that it at least raises questions of what if there is either financial exposure to a foreign nation state or what if the president has obstructed justice or asked

somebody to obstruct justice on his behalf the first step in congress is a pretty simple one and i expect him across would certainly do this it is to hold a hearing with presidential scholars with constitutional scholars with impeachment scholars to begin to talk in the open of what rises to the level of an impeachable offense now in some cases it may just be a hearing and nothing moves past that but i think we would at least see democrats move to hold a hearing and listen in terms of the national narrative within the united states that in itself is going. they create great anxiety among voters that you have a congress beginning to at least talk about whether or not impeachment might be something they consider against this president david as always thanks for your time today. great to be with you larry thank you donald trump is currently facing three way legal pressure from a porn star a playboy bunny and a one time apprentice competitor each a different case each with legal pitfalls for the president. as trying to saw some

of this out with alan dershowitz constitutional scholar harvard law professor emeritus he's also a bestselling author his newest book is the case against b.d.s. why singling out is willful by god is and is semitic and any piece he's an old indian friend he joins me via skype ok i'll a manhattan judge says donald trump must face a defamation suit that he has no immunity from civil litigation instinct corps and is subject to the laws for purely private acts do you agree with that decision well the supreme court certainly agrees with that decision in the paula jones case they ruled that way in relation to bill clinton bill clinton then made the most serious legal era that any lawyer could ever advise a client to do instead of settling the case which he could easily have done he allowed his client to be deposed about his sex life and nobody should allow any

president to be deposed about his sex life so i'm confident that clinton's lawyers will figure out a legal way through settlement do it through taking legal action to preclude a deposition of a sitting president based on a sex like i would think that donald trump would learn the lesson from bill clinton ok let's say he learned and how will that look will it look like settlements would have looked like ducking you know well now we're like you have to take that you have to consider not what the best alternative is but what the least worst alternative is the worst alternative is to sit for a deposition subject yourself to a perjury charge which is what happened to clinton subject yourself to incredibly embarrassing detail revelations questions that you don't even know you're going to get perhaps about other women and other people so i think he has to take the bad press that he would get for a day or two by settling but he the settle or run out the legal string as far as he can by bringing all kinds of legal talent. just some of these cases ever ready been

settled out of cases may be subject to statute of limitations claim so i think all the legal issues have to run through a bit before he sits down for a deposition he should pay the two dollars only didn't listen to national security advisers on his call to putin do you think it listened to his lawyers on this well you know he has a style of dealing with national leaders so he didn't listen to his national security advisers what he said he wants to sit down with the leader of north korea sounds to me like that was probably a good decision i can't criticize him for congratulating putin he's not the first president to congratulate a dictator remember and when franklin roosevelt was asked why he was supporting the dictator. of cuba he said well he's our s.o.b. so we're dick we're supporting him we've learned the lesson of trying to you know get regime change when we take out bad people exadata hussein and get worse take

out the leaders of libya and get worse take out the leaders of other countries and get worse so you know you deal with what you have so i'm not going to be criticizing trump for for for congratulating an elected official even though you know the election was a farce from conan you this week and what you said and he quoted it i think president trump was right when he said they never should have been the special counsel appointed because there was no probable cause for believing there was any crime collusion or otherwise armstrong to the justice is that an accurate depiction of your position. well it's close what i said and what i've said from the beginning what i said the day after the special counsel's point was that it was a mistake on a special council instead they should have appointed a nonpartisan commission of inquiry to look into the entire russian situation and to come up with recommendations as to how to avoid repetition that should have consisted of college presidents former justice of the secret in court former heads

of executive agencies and corporations people with extraordinary credibility who could have an open hearing on what the russians did everybody knows the russians tried it through the election but by starting by pointing the finger of criminality at the administration i think they didn't serve the interest of the american public so yeah i stand by my position that i think it was a mistake to appoint a special counsel i don't think you should fire him after that constitutional crisis but i don't think it was the right thing to do to a special counsel from the beginning and i said that right from the beginning alan stay my witness will have more politicking right after this quick break.

well you know the cars they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for

so long. i mean they're into small boats next to the hard pulling him and he. might not be. the little self to big fish already ninety percent of the guard on any loan because they're. a con to pitch in school seventy five tons two and they do it several times a day with a big cleat oh you get an idea why. we have to understand we can all stay still and just. be with them this he does feel going around. i'm doing this because i want the for the future world to control can generations to have and enjoy the ocean how we have.

to go back to politics that attempting to use an installer and harvard law school professor emeritus alan dershowitz was just dead to joe digenova frequent talking head on fox news who would says there's been an active conspiracy within the f.b.i. to frame trump what do you make of degenerate joining in i think that president trump is playing good cop bad cop he has a couple of lawyers who play in the inside game being very nice to motor racing motor providing all the documents and now i think he wants a kind of very tough aggressive bad cop to go on television and perhaps to counterbalance the advice he's getting from other. lawyers so that seems to be the tactic he's employing by hiring dogen's we've been on the opposite side of issues for

a long long long time since the jonathan pollard case would you join tom's team i'm an independent commentator like you i call it as i see it when it comes to telling the truth then and being being on neutral you're my mentor you're my guy i want to be like larry king i don't want to be on anybody side i want to state what i believe and let the chips fall where they may what do you make of this trump friendship with putin this hesitancy to criticize him about anything. well i think that's worth asking the question today the former head of the cia. said something that was you know very very questionable he said maybe putin has something on him when you hear that from the former head of the cia he darn well better have some evidence that this people will believe he does because he knew or all the bodies were buried he has access to all the wiretaps but i haven't seen any

evidence to support that you know he's been our administration the current administration has been critical of putin not as critical as they should be in my view but again how you conduct foreign policy with the second or third strongest country in the world is really up to the president ok. he's rolled out plans to reduce opioid abuse part of that is to execute drug dealers there's a lot of controversy about capital punishment and most of the world is ending it i think even public opinion in america is now against it. how do you feel about the drug deal and being executed first of all it's not clear because it's usually united states supreme court has limited who can be executed under the eighth amendment and there's never been a recent case where somebody who hasn't committed a murder or

a crime akin to murder has been sentenced to death look these opiate drug dealers a horrible people they should be sent to jail for a long time but i don't see an argument for the death penalty i think it also would mean that fewer jurors would convict you when you're is know that people are facing the death penalty they impose a really higher standard so i think it could backfire i'm not in favor of that clinton signed a death penalty but the federal prosecutors never use that well you know when people run for office whether it be bill clinton and or whether john kerry they all said they support the death penalty in limited case but they will learn the lesson of mike dukakis when he was asked about you know what would god forbid happen if his wife had been murdered or were assaulted and he gave the wrong answer and it may have lost in the presidency so every candidate has to stroke how strong they are and they think of the death penalty but when it comes to actually imposing the death penalty it's very very rarely done and it's not done on the worst criminals

it's done on the people with the worst lawyers who happen to be in the worst places it's not fairly administered another thing alan in an op ed piece in the new york times a prominent. i think his head of the american jewish congress a republican wrote a piece about his will and he said the only thing the only solution is the two state solution any of the solution hurts israel i agree completely i completely agree this was wrong latter who is the president the world jewish congress one of the most distinguished jewish leaders in the world who loves israel he's one hundred percent correct there is no other reasonable solution then a two state one where the palestinians and the israelis are separated the palestinians get their own state and most of the west bank the jerusalem has as its capital israel but also you can have

a palestinian capital you can have some land exchanges some symbolic return of some alleged refugees the solution is obvious we just have to have the will to sit down and you know abbas has never taken yes for an answer the palestinians been offered statehood so many times and it turned it down the time has come for the palestinians to sit down negotiate with the israelis in good faith and come up with a compromise two state solution so i support ron the ira completely alan as always thanks for your time today and happy passover thank you happy passover the crown prince of saudi arabia is in the united states this week and he met with president trump tuesday at the white house let's talk about some of the takeaways from the prince's visit with joel reuben he said as deputy assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs in the obama administration he's also president of the washington strategy group and he joins me from snowy washington d.c.

our how would you assess the meeting that. the saudi gentleman the crown prince had with the president. well larry it was a good meeting certainly between the crown prince and the president but the meeting itself is not really going to paper over some of the difficulties that the u.s. and the saudis have right now in the region that our relationship has not really been able to address that there fire storms brewing in congress on issues like yemen and and iran and nuclear issues as well and the split with the qatari so it was a good meeting but there's a lot of work that has to get done in an interview with c.b.s. the crown prince warned that if the right is allowed to build a nuclear bomb saudi arabia will have no choice but to do the same could we have an escalation of the middle east arms race. it's a frightening thought if we were to have that there is already more than enough nuclear weapons in the world over all and certainly the iran nuclear deal of the

joint comprehensive plan of action that iran signed with the six leading world powers on this during the obama administration that deal is under duress right now where president trump is arguing he may terminate it in a couple of months but that if that's taken away it's quite possible that we will no longer have inspectors in iran that iran could unleash its nuclear program and that could in fact spur what what the crown prince was talking about and in such a close proximity with these neighbors just next door to each other that could be very dangerous. keach think trump to pull out of the iran deal. i do i think it's getting very close. it could be very problematic for our relationship for them the american relationship with our allies who do not want the us to pull out of this deal none of the european countries russia china they want to keep it

as it is and if the u.s. were to go it alone and terminate the deal when we even today in a press briefing the state department said that iran is technically complying with this deal if we were to go it alone and exit the deal it would cause major stress with our allies and really leave iran a free path to do what it wants to pursue and have them be able to argue that the u.s. brokered a deal and not iran on the same day the crown prince met with the president and top lawmakers the senate stadol the resolution calling on u.s. military to stop aiding saudi led bombing in yemen what's the significance of that . well when one talks to people in congress they they call this the most significant vote on the war powers authorization the war powers resolution that is that we've seen in washington since it was inactive nearly forty years ago so what happened yesterday is the beginning i believe of a process in the congress to put more scrutiny on the war in yemen which as you

know it's the single greatest humanitarian disaster currently underway in the world near nearly eight million people are on the verge of starvation within one day and the united states we've been backing saudi arabia in its war efforts and it doesn't seem to have an end so people in congress are concerned there bipartisan efforts to try to stop the funding to get more scrutiny onto it i think this is just going to be the beginning of intensified pressure from congress on this currently an authorized military support you have said that the state next to wilson is one of the country's worst chief diplomats ever to serve that state ok that's in the too many what are your thoughts on. the man who replaced. yes and i think the there's no no tears are being shed at the state department for the departure of secretary tillerson and incoming secretary pump

a low he will be seen as fresh eyes and someone new that that hopefully will take care of the agency in terms of its people and its budget but there are significant concerns about his policy positions talking about iran as an example he has been very hostile and argumentative against the nuclear agreement that's a very different position from secretary tillerson and it may cause friction within china president trumps cabinet we have to remember that secretary of defense matta supports the nuclear agreement so it's not clear if sex incoming secretary pompei to will lead stay perhaps in a more hawkish angle in its policy making but certainly if he does it's going to really shine a light on president trump's real gut instinct on foreign policy which he never seemed to be in sync with secretary tillerson on the policy approach so do you expect better from pompei oh i think we're going to see some level better in terms

of advocating for the state department and recognizing the value of diplomats and the national security value of diplomacy i think that's going to increase pompei or has a track record he was in the military he was in congress he understands the value but he will be more hawkish on his policy positions and that will create tension points with others in the cabinet and state is not always comfortable with having a secretary who wants to be more focused on potential aggressive our military oriented activities that will be a departure from what we've seen for the last number of years since dean years ago this week the united states invaded and that started the war. the country is apparently evenly divided over what was accomplished by that where do you stand. i think that we can look back at iraq as the single greatest strategic blunder of

the modern era on national security policy iraq is broke in it's a country of need significant support and rebuilding we need to be doing what we can to bring reconciliation there it's opened the door to iran and iran has been able to project power across the middle east largely because it no longer had its adversary to the west we saw thousands of american lives lost hundreds of thousands of iraqi lives and trillions of dollars spent overall so and now the rise of the islamic state through this vacuum of power and of control in these countries now that's not to say that saddam hussein was a good guy no wants to argue that but i served at the state department as a career officer in the bush administration during that period of the invasion and i have been working on this for a number of years a good friend of mine an arab american lobbyist marcus out the who i know i've spoken with who's deeply connected to these issues on iraq talks about the pain and

suffering of the iraqi people often and the need to bring reconciliation it's an open wound on american foreign policy and certainly for the people of the middle east joel as always thank you. my pleasure thanks for your expertise thank you and thank you audience for joining me on this edition of politicking remember you can join the conversation on my facebook page or tweet me at kings things and get use the politicking hash tag. solve this edition of politicking.

desperate for a single purpose. they have

a superman. they start training very young. also ahead. after the fall of her off the country's prime minister's jews went willingly. or so get so during the occupation in the second world. the company accused of millions of facebook members and then exploiting it for political goals has been revealed about the ministry paid cambridge parent company s.c.l. group for what's being described as quote human and social influence work on top of the firm was reportedly granted access to secret government documents it's also

said to have carried out research to see how people would interact with certain government messaging picking up the story for us this hour polyploid co. cambridge on a ticket is seemingly everywhere apart from helping the campaign to victory by using information harvested from millions of facebook profiles it turns out the company's services have been used by the british government to cambridge on the parent company is called the f c l group the whistleblower who on earth the facebook data breach calls the two entities as c.l. and cambridge on the one in the say s c l used to be on the payroll of the british defense ministry thanks to a freedom of information request from twenty sixteen we know that in two thousand and eleven the energy paid to s.c.l. for the provision of external training and in twenty fifteen it paid us for

psychosocial research to top it all off s.c.l. got the green light to hold british government secrets on its premises britain's information commissioner's already investigating cambridge analytic over the facebook data breach but in light of the defense contracts with its parent company as c l the chair of britain's home affairs select committee is now demanding a why did government investigation into the company's activities there are now growing concerns about whether there should be a wider investigation into the to reduce there are concerns about the implications for democracy about information being used in an illegitimate way and no one has the chance to counteract it and the traces real problems outside of the u.k.'s see els and cambridge on the list of his client list reads like a who's who of contentious elections and political hot spots cambridge on the it was hired by kenya's ruling party ahead of its elections last year the company is

accused of stoking ethnic tensions and manipulating voters online prejudices to help kenya's leaders stay in power the company's also accused of orchestrating political. ration zone their client's political rivals and circulating the evidence online among a seal's clients was ukraine it was hired by the kiev government to help recapture the self-proclaimed republic of donetsk. this seal was contracted to deliver a data driven strategy for the ukrainian government in pursuit of the goal to win back control of donetsk findings replied to designed localized communications campaigns to erode and weaken the jeannette's people's republic this particular campaign didn't bear much fruit for the ukrainian government the website reveals yet another tied to the british government the ukraine report it says was delivered to kiev and shared with the u.k.'s ministry of defense i don't really believe the

ministry of defense should be involved in a company one arm of which at least is in gauged in a series of campaigns around the world of propaganda and manipulation apparently and political interference secondly i don't really see why the ministry of defense is in any case spending huge amounts of money. on a propaganda work and finally the question of secrecy i mean that apparently this company was given access to top secret information this seems to me to be an extremely. worrying revelation it's likely that the next chapter in the cambridge on the litter quest scandal won't be its links to facebook but to governments around the world including the u.k.'s. dole trump has revealed who will take over as his new security advisor the man being appointed is

former u.n. ambassador john bolton who is known for his strong stance on north korea and iran the appointment was made in typical trump style on twitter the us president also made use of the social media platform earlier this month when he fired his secretary of state rex tillerson killam open as a look now after the your arrival through washington or. he is the third national security advisor to the donald trump administration in the last fourteen months and john bolton is a long time advocate of the use of force against iran and against north korea now those are two countries that are rather vital for the trumpet ministration in the coming months in may donald trump will have to weigh in on the iran deal whether or not it will continue and furthermore the usa is on the verge of carrying out the historic meeting the first meeting between a head of state of the usa and the leader of the democratic people's republic of

korea so at this point a lot of questions remain so the fact that john bolton has been selected is rather interesting i think they want to make peace i think it's time so it could be a long and unproductive meeting or it could be assured unproductive meeting we hope that these new measures directed at the arena of dictatorship will compel the government to re-evaluate its pursuit of terror at the expense of its people well i think he's on the verge of making a mistake i think his advisors are pushing him in the wrong direction you know honestly the certification question is utterly irrelevant john bolton served as the u.s. ambassador to the united nations under the administration of george w. bush and his appointment was quite controversial at that time for statements he had made harshly criticizing the united nations can trail donald trump was quite critical of military intervention isn't by the united states saying that he wanted to stop toppling regimes however john bolton is

a long time advocate for military interventions around the world so big developments on the horizon regarding iran and north korea yet reaction has been coming in on this and to former u.s. diplomat jim just trust by the way he's of the opinion that the appointment of john bolton could this situation with tehran. a lot of people mistakenly said that during the campaign trump said he would tear up the agreement because it was a very bad agreement he did exactly said that he said it was a very bad agreement but he likes to make bad agreements good i think he came in with the notion that if he was threatening and up we could get the europeans on board and pressure the russians in the chinese to say that we want to add missile technology and not threatening israel a lot of other things to the agreement to change the agreement to something he likes better maybe that's still their game plan maybe they think if they have somebody who is sufficiently bellicose they can scare the europeans and decided with the americans on changing the agreement and not have to pull out of it but i

have no doubt now that regime change is going to be a cardinal conscious goal of american policy and failing that there would be an attempt to do so by military means. protests are growing in the u.s. city of sacramento off to the release of body come video showing the moment u.s. police fatally shot an unarmed black man in his grandparents' bach yard the incident happened last sunday when officers responded to a suspect bricking car windows in the area police say they mistook him on smartphone for a weapon and opened fire on him twenty times. i don't want some cash in the emergency. room or the garden. to complain and change the subject after the fact caring. for that description other than melaka black. i've got a guy at a backyard. where. i

get a categorical. thank . gosh out of the times. let's get on the school him a couple times is that before we. let you guys want to go hands. and. we're going to need you i did what you ordered.

you know the victim is twenty two year old stefan clarke he was a father of two both his children are under the age of three his brother described him as an altar burner. well the overall picture is a bleak one more than eleven hundred people were killed in twenty seventeen alone by us police it was reported that throughout the entire year only fourteen days went without a fatal police incident in response supplement to police someplace the officers involved in the fatal shooting on paid administrative leave well the cases are gray just locals who are demanding justice demonstrations took place at city hall and up a sacrament to king's basketball arena a major highway was also blocked the blocked lives mother movement is calling the incident murder and demanding answers we spoke to sonya lewis from the movement. they don't take any value black life because we are collateral damage we've always

been when it comes to this kind of grease history at the end of the day the motive has always been a lack of value for black life or black bodies and so it's easy to shoot first ask questions later sort things out after the facts come up with nearer to the evidence that don't fit what actually was taking place during the time of the incident so when you come out with the story and say yes he had a good or at the in the next story was he had a tool bar or a crow bar then the next story was he had a branch to find out that he was shot with a cell phone in his hand we want to see those officers prosecuted for their decision to shoot their guns twenty shots we could no longer live with and be satisfied with officers being fired or given slaps on the wrist for murdering people in our units the. debates over the history of the holocaust house reach boiling point in point the father of the current prime minister who is a former politician himself has sparked controversy with recent remarks. do you

know who chased the jews away to the warsaw ghetto do the germans you think know the jews themselves when because they were told they would be an enclave that they would not have to deal with those nasty poles well the polish government was quick to distance itself from the comments but the interview has been slammed in israel and by paul's as well with many saying that such comments are offensive to the memory of those who died at the hands of the nazis. the issue of the holocaust was again focused upon in poland after a new law was adopted there last month it made it illegal to accuse the nation of

complicity in the atrocity prohibited the use of the phrase polish death camp we spoke to professor israel charny from the institute for holocaust and genocide. i'm going to have the opportunity to make at least one pro polish position statement and then is that the concentration camps in poland i agree they should not be called the polish concentration camps they were nazi concentration camps in poland but beyond that. the insistence on the creation of law there is it is illegal to discuss what the poles did in the holocaust is an insult to humanity. and the poems did. many things on both sides of the fence

all of the truth should be broader. actually. tens of thousands of civilians have managed to escape the syrian enclave of eastern near damascus this month now this after the russian defense ministry its reconsolidation center struck a deal with some of the militant groups in the area well these are exclusive pictures from our ripley video agency you can see here lots and lots of buses which are reportedly currying militants who used to occupy eastern together with their families novalis part of a deal which guarantees them safe passage in exchange for letting thousands of civilians out of the war ravaged area on thursday around four hundred militants left as well as one of the fellows and civilians mostly members of there are from they will all reportedly be taken to the rebel held city of it lived in northern syria hidden links to child pornography are detected in the technology

behind crypto currencies like bitcoin we delve into that story and more after this . quite. a play for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each kill the narrowness and spending to

get the twenty million and one player. book it's an experience like nothing else on to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great one more chance for. a nice minute. seventeen minutes into the program welcome back cyber security giant. warned its customers about a highly sophisticated piece of malware doing the rounds that can steal your private data however by highlighting the threat the firm is not being accused of undermining us and to terror operations kaspersky house and identified who was behind them but a media company called cyber scoop claims it's part of

a classified u.s. program about targets potential terrorists by revealing it casper speed house essentially the operation the antivirus lab explained it aims to protect people against such malware and gave its own warning about the malicious program falling into the wrong hands but had to act in remand ate all forms of malicious programs regardless of origin or purpose furthermore the company does not whitelist any malware samples not even model we're used for so called legal sort of really and one can easily imagine the situation in which such malware falls into the wrong hands and can be used to launch attacks against law enforcement we're just regular users well the cyber espionage program is that allegedly codenamed slingshot and it's able to take a large amounts of data including images and passwords from infected computers using internet writers well the sophisticated malware is thought to have been

online for one half a decade already targets all of them were being discovered enough for it in the middle east with the attacks believed to be on yemen and in kenya generally it has targeted the computers of individuals but in some cases it may have breached government institutions we spoke with a security expert about the dangers of the so-called slingshot program. after examining it for some time we can confidently say that it is intended for cyber espionage because all it does is collect data from your computer what makes this malware so dangerous is that it stayed under the radar for quite a long time we discovered it last year we can't say who used this malware the operators of the smell where we're using it obtaining data and remaining unnoticed because this malware is so advanced and uses many tricks to avoid detection. ok staying on a tech team german researches have the stove read the technology behind crypto

currency such as because contains hundreds of links to child pornography essentially threatening the legal existence of bitcoin itself the system known as block chain is a de centralized record of transactions across many computers that can be automated . block chain you've probably heard the word but aren't entirely clear on what it is blocking technology is like a digital accounting used for digital currencies like quick point transactions are recorded in blocks that are linked together in a chain each block has what's known as a hash a unique code that's like a thing the print block also stores the hash of the preceding block in the chain one reason this technology is so secure is that if you tamper with a particular block it's hash will no longer match up with the one in the next block that block invalid finally each block containing some data typically this consists of transaction details sender receiver and the amount of crypto currency sent there

can be some surprise data finds for example the big point log chain was found to contain a nelson mandela photo of bitcoin logo and the tribute to cryptographer len sussman but some of the surprises. german research has uncovered that the bitcoin block chain contains hundreds of links to child pornography as well as an indecent image of someone who looked and the rage having a copy of the bitcoin block chain there will be a legal now that's a bit worrying as another aspect of the way blocked chain technology works is that everyone who uses it gets a copy of the entire block. so users could unwittingly be britain the law of course the problem isn't peculiar to the bitcoin block chain all crypto currencies use the same technology and their users are just as vulnerable and we're talking about you know the abuse of a child child prodigy that's you know that's a serious issue that people should take serious regardless of what it involves this

is an issue that should be looked at and i hope investigated and whoever's responsible for it can be held accountable this is a serious case but it's not an end hair problem in the black chain itself even if there is some sort of problem on the big chain where perhaps they could come up with measures prevent to. this sort of thing from happening ultimately the technology can be used in any number of different ways and i'm sure there's somebody out there already who's think you know of how to use the technology for the good that it provides but also to provide some sort of security measures that can prevent this kind of thing from happening. stocks have plunged and fears are growing a global trade war after beijing announced plugs for reciprocal tar of some imports from the u.s. now it comes in response to donald trump hitting china with trade penalties the american leader signed an order on the new taurus and the white house saying it was necessary to counter unfair competition from beijing when the move targets more

than one hundred types of chinese goods ranging from clothes to electronics is estimated to be worth up to sixty billion dollars over the past year trump's unpredictable approach to china has left many scratching their heads. money. we can't continue to allow china to rape our country. you can have. pretty much you know there's going to be conflict but we have a very good relationship people say we have the best relationship of any president president we had the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake that you've ever seen president she was enjoying it i view them as a friend i have tremendous respect for president she. we have a great relationship what trump is doing now and saying that he thinks trade wars are great and they're easy to win i think poses a real danger of. economic consequences this is going to raise the prices for

a lot of goods to people for people here and the whole presentation by the trumpet ministration that somehow china is raping the united states is just ludicrous it was china of course that suffered from really horrible the horrible effects of imperialist intervention in domination for trump presents is the answer whether it's anti immigrant or tariffs or a trade war are really only going to do damage to the same people many of the same people who voted for trump and were deceived by his message. are to busy preparing to launch a large scale digital project called the romanovs one hundred through thought of personal photographs it tells the story of russia's last royal family there for century reign ended with the revolution in one nine hundred seventy on a digital mosaic of four thousand photos will begin appearing across social media

secretly 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 was different i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is one business model helps to run a prison now we just do it all marcus is no radio visitation i don't no one comes in and more we don't have to serve them anymore is cost effective that's what they want to do that loan they don't give a damn if you do the charge on that they're actually paying to put it back in the good the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the us sandbridge what she could is behind such success.

shows seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to shape out just because to advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart when she's to look for common ground.

hello welcome to sophie and co i'm so very shevardnadze i were talking today to were russian president vladimir putin's press secretary timothy we're talking to him about what this presidency will mean for russia and the world so i got to ask you about the spy scandal in great britain there are three conspiracy theories. the most popular ones first one being that put in ordered the killing of despise to get some tough guy points before the elections the second one is that it's to secrete services who did it without put knowing forget about the third one this two are the most popular one i don't even know which one i heard by the way was the third one it's something in between but in between here but those are the two it was my other ones that he ordered to get some time go point before the election well a third one was he ordered it to actually. provoke the west's reaction and he knew that the west reaction would be very hostile towards russia and that would further consolidate russian voters around put it in the third one which i think is the

worst one is that put in didn't know but he secret service is just one and one along and executing. well. this is artificial the construct of theorists. first we we have to remember the starting point is the words of president putin that russia has nothing to do with this accident. this is number one number two. we're not speaking about. attempt to murder to murder a russian spy in great britain where speaking about attempt to murder a british spy in great britain he was a british spy and he's a british but he's not a russian spy always are is a russian citizen well he's a russian citizen but you know the russians may he was handed in to britain as a result of exchange so why would russia and in

command that is of any importance or that is of any belly it's unimaginable so even if he's handed in so russia quits with him his of zero value of zero importance. go ahead. so this is number one number two. words of president putin. where not as crazy as two is to even to think about something of that kind. before presidential elections and before such important event global event as. for both championship number three the first blaming. came from politicians just a couple of hours after the accident couple of hours after the accident

where heard first blaming of russia that i likely russia was responsible of that murder of attempted murder. and now what we're seeing we see words of experts and experts of organization four or four. p.c. w. . that say that the preliminary examining of this agent will take about three weeks is it contradictory yes it is. then well in general why russia well russia why to blame russia you know it's a maybe it's a very rude comparison especially in this situation i don't think that anything can be bigger it can be ruder than their reality but nonetheless just imagine moscow city car accident. there is

a victim of the car accident and we see what was the car and the car was a british me car let's say range rover just imagine that myself or foreign ministry spokeswoman makes a statement that the man was killed by a british made car you corrected in center of moscow and highly likely a prime minister of prime minister of great britain may be responsible of the murder i mean the police there is even crazy that many likely it's like easier to smuggle a british made car into another country than a russian made bomb twenty one i mean why do you think that if it could have been a russian made bone or russian made agent here saying we don't know it truth well russia. has completed. destroying of all chemical arsenal arsenal of chemical weapons and it was

confirmed by international observers what is your version of what happened. then are we here anything we want to have a version and will we want to have a version as a result of russia's taking part in this investigation. at least receiving some data it was seeing some information. you would probably. notice that. the briefing in the foreign minister for. foreign masters or various countries. we haven't seen ambassador of great britain there. britain has questions in this case why shouldn't british masseur come and listen the answers

so as if they're asking questions not willing to get any answers as if the us ask questions having a judgement priority so this is extremely unfair this is extremely contradictory with international law international principles of behavior and diplomacy. so this is unwillingness to see the and to see the reality of the reality i mean the absence of chemical weapons in russia and it's not russia's judgment it's a judgment of international organisation relevant international organisation so this is it so i agree it's unfair the way you put it but. what's russia going to do i mean or he's going to you know step back and not say anything not explain anything or we're going to leave the ball well of course no one really expects or no one should expect russia to cede. to seat and keep silence against

such a craziness and in such an aggressiveness and predictability of course russia will pursue its goals russia will defend its interests and russia will well unser every step of entire russian origin and russia will definitely continue to explain itself . it is doing every day you see all the all the discussions all the explanations coming from. first is was responsible ministers everything that can be sad. as a theory. is improper. you know i'm not a poet or just i'm not. going to join not just. to throw any any theories any any. any motives. we have to be very responsible against this and this is really very dangerous for

all of us. usage of agent of nerve agent in your this is a danger for all of us this was attempt of killing of russian citizens. by the way i don't know if mr scrip all steel still has a russian citizenship but his daughter definitely. so. and russia is a country of course it's neat needs to receive information about the state of health of its citizens. there was this is needed on british soil. this is completely you know this is completely unfair. to mention about any slightest possibility of russia's being involved and. we're going to take a break right now while it come back we'll continue talking to you question

president's press secretary of state. 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 you have to go i mean eight percent of the shuttle we are with you and we will show you all the great the great the good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball in going let's go. to

a low. and i'm really happy to join for the two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one it was also appreciate me to just say to redo the aussie team's latest edition to make it up as we go so i need to just say look. well you know the fire thing we've kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small ball it's next to the hard pool and heaps and it's. not. limited self to big fish already ninety percent of the dot and he won't become a. concept fifteen scoops seventy five times they do it several times a day with the cleats oh you get an idea right. we

have to understand we can all still use to just. be within this the deal going to the arms. i'm doing this because i want the future world too. future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to guess of the world the politics sports business i'm show business i'll see the. times not email a bed of the entire you might even want to get. them but then again. and

again and i mean by my mom come on here i know god knows you'll walk through me going to be. in the mood to do a dad in email so you just have images to see so if you want. to. know by letter natural or good to be made i suppose in a good deal i'd say to be getting. pages it is fulfilling and hopefully when it comes to cable you take allowed her. to. come off.

the. now we're back you're watching so franco we're talking to a russian president's press secretary i want to have to shortly about trump and put relationship because i know that the two men don't have hostilities on a personal level trump has said many times that he actually likes putin and he would like to mend ties with russia but every time he tries to do something there is such an outrage whether it's from congress or from the media that like it seems almost impossible so does it mean that no matter who the united states president is

there will be no did hand between washington and moscow well we hope for the better . as there is a very strong necessity in. maintaining between washington and moscow when we have severe it's like in syria. korea and then. in various other regions of the world it needs it needs. russia america and cooperation. unfortunately we see that not all the borders of power in the united states are of that opinion and yes we've heard lots of statements coming from the american president. saying that he would like to solve existing problems between us two through dialogue that is totally supported by his russian counterpart mr putin . but. we know that some people in the

congress. and they are of different opinion. i do not know. to what extent. balance of powers in the united states and the it's not our business we cannot interfere and there was affairs and we don't have slightest slightest wish to interfere in that situation toward extend that balance of power can. affect the future of our relationship but we still was to consider their most important statement by the president of the united states. and we do hope that there will be a chance for president putin and president trump to sit down together sooner or later. and to discuss existing problems we know that president trump has

made a phone call to president putin he conveyed to aid him. despite. what was written in various newspapers by congress on this issue calling you a delay so he called him and they have reached and reached an understanding that they have to come together and they decided to instruct their foreign minister lavrov and. my come out what do you think of his appointment him replace him tillerson i know you've said that you can't possibly go below ground zero so do you think that good things could get better with michael pale at the helm of the senate . we know that he's very experienced person is a tough guy he's tough guy he's experienced in person and international affairs. he knows international affairs from. different angles not from the angle of diplomacy . but. you know it's important to work with all the con or.

i mean you can sometimes you can you can find common grounds for discussions with quite unexpected people do you know your card to part of the white house i mean you've been with britain for like. ten years and before. great you know and like before that you worked in a presidential pool. even more than ten years or something that i mean. obama changed his secretary i think four times trump in one year like four times or two times bush five times i don't know what kind of like when jeopardy portion here. do you know your counterpart in america well yes fortunately our presidents are not meeting frequently so this way we don't have reason to contact each other frequently but but. you know when they have meetings and they had two meetings they had meetings in germany and wherever. and also there were some some contacts and. so we

had some contacts with michael and. so no detail but but at least we know him so. you mentioned it in the beginning of the interview and everyone noticed how put. with interior making calley said about you sometime though you as you put it say. did you take it seriously or was it like a joke when we were you like whoa where did that come from well every joke with a president kerry is a very important very serious very deep. understanding well this is. pretty if president criticizing you even seriously how do you have to take an indirect. but you know every every press secretary in this world. being criticized sometimes. i get work but it's in a word of jokes put aside there's something that i won't talk to you about for

instance i know like when i listen to putin and he jokes it's funny i mean listen russia russian language is really funny and when he says what he stuff it's funny and i remember the panel with meghan palli when you know he was very tough when you know we're thinking it was so cool and then i think it is good and then it was translated into english and it just didn't make any sense i mean the jokes didn't make any sense and he's winning isn't make any sense and i just realize that everything that he says a we think is so cool is completely lost in translation when it's translated into different languages i mean that mentality gap that even further why didn't you know you were different you know president putin is russian he's russian and he's making his choice is russian and. when. when they're not. interpreted correctly it's rather a problem of misinterpretation. and

sometimes times yes with. different cultures different cultures sometimes we cannot understand jokes coming from this. oh yeah when we translate executor's jokes or prisoners jokes it doesn't make any sense in russian here it sounds so more cynical it's you know it's mention of a special it is. it's basically this bush era it is and it's rather it's rather our again to cap and explaining our own president i consider it to be to be our mishandling of information to do things that you have done more careful we have to be more creative in explaining those jokes because that i mean i feel like that drives the gap between the mentalities even further because you're like oh wow what is he talking about where you are you know it's like the british sense of humor sometimes it's very. hard to understand. so tell me something you've been with the

president for a long time i mean it's only human that in eighteen years either you get tired of getting annoyed or you get angry and you're like i want to leave did you ever feel like he was close to being like i want to go i can't do this anymore well you see it. when if you if you want to go and if you continue to work. first of all it's. unfair towards your boss and you have to be fair and if you work with outstanding person they put him on. not you know most do you really want to deejay or feel like you ever want to leave he does i'm a monument point yes i think he does and i was. no i don't think so i don't think. he's going to a huge. understanding of what to do to make this country better.

and he sees better. than everyone in this country this scope of the problems. you know as the problems of. different regions you know is the problems of people working in different spheres of economy civil servant drive for himself combined with sense of responsibility. and that's why you never want to redeem this is a great chance for our country this is a great chance for our country and agreed chance and the great challenge for him and that's why you never want to leave him because that was going to meant. experience some bilbo. unprecedented experience and i can hardly imagine any other. positioning in this world. that brings such an experience to you we're going to ask you last question about twitter

i know that you and putin and mostly all of russia's government with the exception of me today you aren't very. pro i mean you're very conservative guys but this twitter thing and the whole social media thing is really changing the paradigm of how politics works and how diplomacy works and how media are oblivious it is and i mean we're all smiling or laughing at trump tweeting until you know he's meeting with a north korean leader and you know maybe it's fair to say that twitter did its very share in that meeting it's really changing the whole construction of how politics and diplomacy works are you guys not considering going on twitter or going to social. am on all the tasks over to the logical breakthrough of this country there should be also a. broader usage of social media. in explaining

state affairs and to the we're number one taller own citizens and number two to the world thank you very much for the best of luck. fifteen years ago this month the united states in its so-called coalition of the willing to illegally invaded in occupied iraq and iraq continues to grapple with that fateful decision many call the invasion of iraq a blunder should we call it would it really is a crime. leveled warhawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police
