a twenty six year old french citizen of moroccan origin he was know to the police for petty offenses and low level drug crime or was under surveillance despite that a number of locals have said they would never of suspected him of being radicalized because it's peaceful here where you see the like any out there he was very kind very sociable i do orrible he overeat sweets to the children and he's a terrorist. shocked but not surprised because there was a bad atmosphere in the city for some time. there's been a number of terror attacks on thwarted attempts in france since the beginning of twenty seventeen in february last year a man attempted to enter the louve museum in paris with a machete while an attacker was stopped at all the airport one month later a police officer was shot dead last april machines and these a and in october two young women were stabbed to death at a railway station in mass a four british police officer peter kirkwood says even potential attackers under

surveillance can still slip through the net i know the french and various other countries of. the security services and their intelligence gathering. oh over recent years particularly after the spate of very serious incidents that happened in two thousand and fifteen and six thousand and sixteen this sort of attack though it's the sort of thing that will get through the very best of intelligence gathering. functions it's a small town in the middle of nowhere it's not in a big city it's not predictable targets it's relatively low tech yes there's a firearm involved but they're not that difficult to obtain if you put your mind to and got criminal connections we have got thousands tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands more people with some question mark against them then we've got resources to look at them and some unfortunately will get through it's as simple as that unfortunately coming out of american youngsters are rallying the world right now

tonight to get to gun laws tightened with marches attracting hundreds of thousands at home and abroad some of the story there. reality. people. and they're willing to trade their physical body in exchange for the promise of immortality because remember we've

shifted from the physical to. god we've also lost all values associated with the physical plane respect for gravity dollars for a plurality. in the gravitational. valueless back you moral turpitude. the new reality or heaven as some may call it. president's national security adviser gets ready to start exposed bold looks likely to be the latest official to face scrutiny over alleged links to russia. in the latest installment of the revolving door saga that's defined the trumpet ministration a third national security advisor is taking over john bolton is an outspoken ultra hawk seen as an advocate of big stick diplomacy including when it comes to russia

the russians have walked all over the obama administration for eight years it's really been a pathetic performance putin is i think making a propaganda claim here and of course he's blaming us for this he's saying if you had you know the one nine hundred seventy two anti-ballistic missile treaty i wouldn't have to do this that's complete nonsense and he knows that you've got to build up our cyber offensive and defensive capabilities and create structures of deterrence so it doesn't happen again and how do you do that in this case you make the russians feel pain so not exactly in line with terms and during message of the benefits of getting along with russia but maybe that means this is the one guy in the trumpet ministration who won't be accused of being a kremlin puppet or not if we look back bolton is not without connections to russia and as we all know any hint of the wrong red white and blue flag is more than enough to string someone up in washington now back in two thousand and thirteen bolton recorded a video for a russian gun rights group and courage in moscow to adopt something similar to

america second amendment or the russian national government to grant a broader right to bear arms to its people it would be creating a partnership with its citizens that would better allow for the protection of mothers children and families but given that bolton was on the areas international affairs subcommittee at the time it's not all that surprising or sinister that however isn't stopping anyone from jumping to collusion conclusions now stay with me here the group that distributed the video was co-founded by alexander torsion yes a russian and the f.b.i. is reportedly investigating whether torsion illegally funneled money to the n.r.a. which in turn use the funds to support the trump campaign and the russian cherry on top is torsion is tied to the kremlin and president putin himself with. connections like that there are sure to be a huge scandal brewing and sadly for bolton it gets worse he has appeared on our channel a number of times in the past and we all know what washington thinks of us propaganda

bullhorn party television up again the machine of russian propaganda and russian propaganda machine propaganda machine this propaganda that's coming out of russia russian propaganda on steroids the internet isn't ignoring the possibly serious physical signs of where bolton's loyalties truly lie are either. jumbo. jets of russian spy. breaking john bolton's missteps started is a russian spy bolton's hair and mr should different colors which makes him look like he's in disguise and just over two weeks bolton will officially take over as trump's national security adviser giving the media plenty of time to tease out any and all ties but may have to russia and speculate on exactly what they mean good luck guys. legal and media analyst lionel police but was a point when sends conflicting messages indeed we started off with hawkish responsible bellicose saber rattling let's be more circumspect it changes

by the day i have to remind you of this one issue north korea. phase one president trump one to choose one them we can annihilate you are a button is bigger than your button we have more missiles or new to watch it. phase two rapprochement detente great let's meet stage three let's bring in bolton who wanted a preemptive strike if you can figure this out if you can see any pattern to this you're a better person than i am. a seventeen year old palestinian girls being sentenced to eight months in prison for slapping and kicking two israeli soldiers had to me be pleaded guilty as part of a plea bargain with the israeli army. then. there

. was. a back story here this always took place next to the girl's home in the occupied west by was filmed by mother video later went viral and get international attention the family said head had just learned that a cousin of hers had been shot in the head with a rubber bullet and their actions were therefore completely understandable. that my daughter did was a normal reaction to the occupation there is no chance of appealing the verdict because the israeli security and legal system considers this verdict to be final this country does not acknowledge international law and we are fooling ourselves if we think that the israeli courts seek justice here a more but israel is here to see a palestinian gain in media attention and that made them hate her for having people support better was the reason for her imprisonment the israeli police and the media wanted her about which means that i had a fact about i had slept did not merit all the inside meant against her and she is a child defending her land and home so this verdict is unjust she deserves freedom

. she felt attacking israeli forces before the video emerged online six years ago showing her threatening to punch an israeli soldier a family's been accused of encouraging the girl to internationally provoke i.d.f. soldiers on camera or. elsewhere mass marches are underway in cities across the united states calling for stricter gun control laws hundreds of thousands are expected to take part support rallies of being held as well in dozens of countries worldwide the march for our lives events have been organized by the young survivors and families of lost one's partner in school massacre in florida they're calling for congress to take a tougher stance on gun ownership and a ban on assault weapons which have been used in a number of deadly attacks in us schools because they're frequently capitulate they're under pressure from america's powerful gun lobby. as for student self defense one school superintendent in the state of pennsylvania now suggesting youngsters with rocks meantime libertarian party politician and u.s.

senate candidate brian ellison thinks homeless people are an easy target and is proposing now to arm them his idea is to buy twenty shotguns and provide firearms training he says it's because rough sleepers face increasing levels of violence but most people are statistically much more prone to be the victim of violent crimes they're easy target and they're really don't have any means to protect themselves they don't have a means to obtain the weapons that any other american citizen can can typically get their hands on i understand why people see it's alarming. but i think people fail to see the other alarming point is people want to constantly bring up the mental health of the homeless and how that's a big issue how they're prone to violence i think that's frankly something that we should be much more worried about is the militarization of the police force and that is much more dangerous to the american people and i promise that the police

kill many more people in a year then do any homeless people if we follow the letter of the law and we do the background checks like we expect to do and somebody does something that they're not supposed to do with a weapon they should be they should be held one hundred percent criminally responsible for their act. mistakes was to come up the biggest sporting event of the year with the opening of the first pfieffer will cope football park and russia's black sea resort of sochi as well as much as a masterclasses world cup veterans are also on hand including a portuguese strike a new gomez who was at saturday's opening ceremony. it is not my first time here in russia but it's my first time here in this city and i'm glad to be here if. i had the opportunity to meet this wonderful city one of those cities of the world russia is a beautiful country a lot a lot more bigger than than my in portugal particle is a small country comparing comparing to russia but. of course russia even if

he's big we have some similar things regarding culture and i'm happy to be here and i'm happy also that russia will last finally. the world cup portugal is coming to this world cup crowned is the european champions they are soon to speak or one of the favorites or could you name one or a few obstacles that you expect the tea to come across have this world cup a lot of eyes are looking to our national team and the maybe that could be one of the reasons that increase our responsibility there has been some speculation about the found culture in russia for example the british media specially raised concerns about potential violence at the school so do you see that as a potential problem as a threat is not a big concern in my point of view we have to do to explain people that this

football and it is not political so violence is not part of our game that's why also we are here to tell the people that. people will attend. a beautiful games beautiful world cup and we are trying to to to do this world cup one of the best the least risk people they basically are and they know political is one thing and football is an. check it out. if you get a minute for the latest from us twenty four seventh's so we most always have time to bring you hey you know fortunately because that is the news. international with me kevin i would pull for me twenty six.

alone. and i'm really happy to join. the special want to. meet. the latest edition of make up as we go. back to financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside. i don't artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause report. cristen comes hiring and firing practices are still surprising yet the recent employed minutes of my complaint and john bolton have left an impression on friends and foes alike impact will later on american politics.

the most expensive fish in the world each one 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 catch. it's only when 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 geared for the long term survival and that's why we have to catastrophes.

this is boom bust broadcasting around the world from washington d.c. on this day the us president ronald reagan unveiled his proposal for the strategic defense initiative or s.d.i. to be able to shoot down enemy missiles head for united states in that regard coming up on today's program former pentagon official michael maloof is back to talk defense and we take a little time to time travel back to those days of s.d.i. and star wars and fast forward to what's going on now with space weapons plus r.t. correspondent dan cohen helps us. to understand who the biggest defense contractors are and how much money they make plus economist and author steve king joins us from london to answer the important question can we avoid another financial crisis. caterpillar is closing a parts factory in waco texas which employed two hundred people the shutdown as part of a downsizing by the company which began in two thousand and fifteen and seeks to

administration struck arms deals with south korea and he called on japan to buy u.s. made weapons but at the center of trump's foreign policy is his relationship with saudi arabian crown prince mohammed bin some on during his first foreign trip in may twenty seventh teen president trump in the saudi monarchy signed the largest arms deal in u.s. history worth one hundred ten billion dollars as a result stocks of lockheed martin raytheon and boeing reach all time highs that they all came as the saudi arabian led war in yemen has killed ten thousand people led to a massive cholera outbreak and put a million people on the brink of famine and what the u.n. called the worst humanitarian crisis in the world well congress tonight a recent resolution that would have forced the u.s. to end its involvement in the saudi led war on yemen trump is expanding the relationship with saudi arabia while weapons manufacturers cash in in washington dan cohen reporting from boom bust. some of us recall the cold war between the

soviet union and its satellites and the democratic nations of the western world primarily of course united states what i recall most was the increasingly heightened rhetoric and the weapons build up expression of what was then the new frontier dubbed star wars after the original star wars movie from one thousand nine hundred seventy seven in real life back then star wars or what in the us was called the s.d.i. the strategic defense initiative saw the. element of ultra advanced weapons systems which included lasers and particle beans that would shoot down the opposing sides nuclear missiles for younger folks and by i was younger then at the time it was a pretty unnerving period while star wars their s.d.i. slowed significantly after the end of the cold war when mikael gorbachev became the leader of this union recently there's been a lot of talk about north korea and their nuclear missile program and now with

president russian president putin who gave a recent state of the nation speech where he discussed cruise missiles that could reach anywhere in the world it raises the question of what's going on and from a boom bust perspective on business and finance how much money is being spent on these sorts of things and which companies are profiting from the development of star wars type systems and here to discuss it probably the best person around in the world a former pentagon official michael maloof michael thank you so much for being with us let's time travel you were at the department of defense then when i was out talking about nuclear arms awareness week and things and it was a sort of an unnerving time but take our viewers who don't recall back to what was going on and then which were the companies that were involved in this strategic defense initiative at the time well it was at the beginning of the end of the soviet union and it and reagan and gorbachev are meeting at

reykjavik and the proposal was made to that if there wasn't. some kind of a peace settlement of some kind that reagan was prepared to launch the strategic defense initiative the whole concept was i mean he had the idea before hand he saw he was he was briefed a long time back that missiles were coming in they could track the missiles but there was no way to stop them so this strategic defense initiative idea became part and parcel of his of his new package for incoming missiles to set up an anti missile defense system as a consequence. that was offered as as a. partly partially a bluff if you will to cause the the economically ducange soviet union to have to put in more resources which we knew they could not afford and that

that's when gorbachev decided to do what he ultimately did and he could've competed and you know and but s. the concept of s.d.i. continued under reagan especially and it got modified over time and it was really a robust concept to have lasers shooting things out of the sky from from outer space but the technologies had not yet been developed and they needed to be developed and that would have been part and parcel of the research and development costs that would have gone into and we had the companies to do that are some many of our companies our major defense companies today were involved like lockheed like martin marietta united technologies are not exact knowledge east. these these are the major major firms that have been and continue to be engaged in this now as part of the missile defense agency today that's what it's called now

that i remember in the day it was the s d i o richard it was it was about fifty io then it became the ballistic missile defense agency office and then clinton changed that to missile defense agency and that still exists today now that's what is being used to develop anti missile systems that's but it's a much more conventional approach of developing technologies that can go faster than the incoming as opposed to having something lingering in outer space which the original concept brilliant pebbles was to have a series of drones to base drones that could point lasers at missiles that were flying in space. base that could not things out of the first thought was i get sure that the timeline right the first thing was it wasn't just the bluff was it i remember that it was you know both the soviet union and the u.s. had all these missiles and it was thought that you know if one shot that had

a first strike that the other would shoot and that their essentially be a policy they called mad mutually assured destruction and that was the unnerving part i talked about in the opening yes so then they came up with s.d.i. and this is going to save us will be able to shoot down the missiles if they come over but then the brilliant pebbles idea that you just had who is was that and that was as you say so that wasn't a missile shooting down a missile that was satellites that would shoot down missiles so things that were already up in space race that w. do you think. that was regina in originated with reagan then and then in then it was george h.w. bush but he's the one who began to scale it back because there he says realistically we don't really need that and and the technologies are way out there yet we can't really do it yet although there is a modifications that that that that's when the decision ultimately was made then to do something that came that was more from land based rather than lingering in space

and so these were super expensive technology to develop and developed it well and your but your contention is that that mr gorbachev saw the enormous capital that would have been needed to compete with the u.s. at that time and that essentially ended up shutting down the cold war to a large extent so let's fast forward michael to today and we see the north koreans were all about talking about what their weapons kasab capabilities are and president putin in his state of the nation address actually showed a video a sort of a striking video and said it could not be evaded that that that the bin. it could be abated the missile could be evaded so. where are we today how much money is the soviet union the us spending on these things and are is the same sort of cast of characters with regard to defense contractors who are trying to pile on and make

a buck out of these things and response to your last part yes the fence contractors see the new golden age again because basically the policy has been changed now and back more to more strategic systems and were seen as a reason as a in response to the north korean threat more development of missiles that can shoot down. the incoming missiles if if if we have that technology but it's its but the it's like a bullet trying to hit a bullet in space however we do not have the technologies yet that can reach out to three hundred miles in space if you're going and the conclusion is if you're going to knock something out and if you know it's. meant to do harm you've got to hit it on the on the in one of the booster in the booster booster otherwise it's up in space and you hit it and then it's because it's going to close the thing we have

right now is ages and that only can go up to one hundred fifty miles that is what well that's that's the land base and ship based missile defense systems we've got those in japan and around the around north korea would shoot down for example a north korean missile a missile but here's the problem north korea has exhibited something else for that i don't hear anybody talking about and that has to do with the ability to orbit satellites their ability to orbit a satellite and they've demonstrated this twice or stew up there right now and we have no idea what's on them the fact is that that satellite those satellites could become new miniaturized nuclear weapons orbiting the world and we and then on command they could be detonated anywhere and that is what i meant crazy nuts that is why some of us think that they're really angling at to have that capability i mean this is it's typical of what a poor less defensive country can do is.
