even canadian prime minister and resident dreamboat himself justin trudeau who appeared to approve the expansion as promised quote we will stand by our decision we will ensure that the kinda morgan pipeline gets built. big oil pipeline getting built despite protests by indigenous peoples who claim they were not properly informed or consulted about the building of a potential environmental disaster on their lands now where or where aware of i heard that before i feel this runs of days of where what it is i. who yes yes north dakota appears that the canadian government is quite bullishly following in the footsteps of the footsteps of its louder violent and definitely more obnoxious neighbor to the south when it comes to big oil pipelines and water protectors yeah i think it's about time we start watching the hawks.

as an example of. what you know that i got. this. week so. welcome everyone the watching the hawks tyros the turd joining us today to discuss canada's verio of the code access pipeline struggle r t correspondent alex mahela vigil it's always a pleasure to have you. thank you so dallas i got to start by asking how how how similar is this to the dakota access pipeline protest that we saw down here in the united states feels very similar when i see it on a space well lucky texas based kinda morgan filing injunction against protesters

who are protesting the pipeline these protesters and crew that include environmental groups they include native groups they also include the city of burnaby in the city vancouver so one hundred seventy two people were arrested last week wrote to. and we know that thousands came out never mind the injunction they're against those people in british columbia seem to be against this and this pipeline goes across british columbia from alberta from those tar sands right to the pacific ocean now these people are protesting for a number of reasons first of all this is called the trans mountain pipeline and it's actually an expansion project so right now you have about three hundred thousand barrels of oil going across the mountains across from the most pristine areas in the world down to the water in the pacific to tankers that take up their oil and take it all over the place and this expansion would send it up to almost nine hundred thousand actually eight hundred ninety thousand barrels to be exact a day so that's a lot more oil crossing these lands one of what these people are worried about are

things such as oil spills and pipelines that think we've seen those before as well as the fact that you have oil tankers it would be way more traffic that were around burnaby british columbia in that inlet where you have orca whales who are some of the groups are endangered as well as you have these wonderful waters with fish except for that live there so yeah you know what people are thinking about the environment here and i think you're correct tyrol that they there is a comparison because if i remember correctly a lot had to do with the environment in north dakota as well most definitely and you know it's interesting because in cota access we witnessed the seesaw battle the eventually i think many people believe you know the water protectors as they called themselves ultimately lost. now we do you think we'll see a different result in canada like you said you have the cities of vancouver and burnaby getting in on this not just the group of activists and water protectors can these people win this fight will they reverse this decision. well look this was

a side of back in two thousand and sixteen with our champion of everything green our prime minister justin trudeau gave a pat on the back to this project so moving forward from a federal level that's where that mass of obstruction is when it comes to any type of people with the environment on their mind federal overrides the provincial so alberta has been pushing this very hard because the economy relies on oil blah blah blah the fact the matter is that their economy has dropped dramatically because oil prices have dropped and the demand for oil has dropped but that hasn't disappeared people are doing other jobs they can do other jobs there's other industries that they can work it out for british columbia again they're saying you know there this is worth hundreds of millions of dollars to british columbia but british columbia is it seems are at least about half of them some will say more or less seem to say that you know what it's more important to preserve our environment something that we can't fix or be very difficult to repair in the long run than to worry about how

many dollars we're going to be making over the next few years at the expense of the environment not to mention the cost of a potential cleanup and all that when you add that of definitely offsets the cost that could be made from the oil trade now it's interesting because you know a lot of people look at justin trudeau and he's you know the obama of canada and the crazies now is really following obama's footsteps obama didn't say a lot of birds that he stepped in and said ok let's put a stop to this you know it's just i'm going to go back i mean i saw a quote earlier that i mentioned he said now we're moving forward but do you think anyone's going to reach just in this point. trudeau is not the obama that we thought he was really something very different he just a couple of months ago actually this came out that right when trump was a life did trudeau's people went straight down to the states and they wanted to see that train of the. keystone x.l. pipeline come into full of back and that's what we know the north dakota protests

were all about so should know it's no obama obama actually stopped that project for a long long time and he's the one that we thought put the nail in the coffin but then trump came along and trudeau is patting trump on the back this is what the canadian government wants to see a big part of that again is alberta you have an electorate there as well as the fact that albertans are very vocal when it comes to oil and are a little trudeau he wants to appease everybody even though he's breaking promises he promised to be green but he's far from it i think maybe you could say he's kind of tarnished black right now because that's what he's been pumping a lot of oil move good line so i got to ask this and how are the canadian supporters of the pipeline reacting to these protests you're talking about thousand people out there over one hundred getting arrested what's their reaction to this so the supporters of the pipeline are saying you're going to love this word interference interference happening from foreign entities like the tides foundation

from the u.s. who invested about forty million dollars in the past few years giving a hundred and two groups here in canada money so that they could push forward well interference think about cap which is the canadian association of petroleum producers they were in the states and they paid money to get pipeline built so hypocrisy have we seen this happen over and over and over and over again in the past few months of not god few years also the fact is when it comes to oil it pollutes we're talking about pollutants they don't know borders so these chemicals and oil and whatever else if it goes up in the air people get sick that doesn't know what important fukushima. look it's interfering with everybody the whole entire pacific ocean is interfered with in every country that is there and anybody that eat fish from the pacific so don't give me this interference type but they lot of canadians support this and you know what they can tides foundation and thank you everybody else in this world that's actually concerned about the environment there's a lot of us here in canada that appreciate your help well definitely thank you for

the great job reporting this to today alex mileage r t correspondent up in canada dreidel thank you so much thank you. thanks to. the baby boomer generation those born between mid nine hundred forty s. and the mid one nine hundred sixty s. are crossing a very significant point of departure right now for nearly four decades they've been the largest generation of eligible voters in the us but by the end of twenty eighteen millenniums those born between one thousand nine hundred one and the year two thousand will overtake boomers as the largest voting bloc in the us and the care of those baby boomers will become one of the most important humanitarian and political issues will need to tackle and solve the number of people in the united states suffering from all simers disease and other forms of dementia rose to five point seven million in twenty eighteen over two hundred thousand from twenty

seventeen according to one study using data from the established populations for a bit of a logical study of the elderly approximately four hundred eighty thousand people is sixty five or older developed alzheimer's or dementia in the united states in two thousand and seventeen and the number of people diagnosed with alzheimer's and dementia is estimated to hit twenty eight million people by mid century meaning and less than thirty years the boomers will need a lot of care care that require specialized treatment for patients and families care or were not equipped to handle at the moment the united states has a little over fifteen thousand nursing homes where they were sixty nine percent of them being for profit of course some states that have become havens for retirement are now going to be the epicenter of the care crisis across the country it's expected that every state will see at least a fourteen percent increase in the number of all simers in dementia cases western states like arizona nevada and new mexico huge on wyoming will have a thirty six to fifty four percent increase while states like in the south such as

southern carola south carolina and florida will also see very steep increases those states will need to boost their state health care systems and long term medicaid programs that's. older citizens with dementia or they will suffer for the aging population that can afford to take care of itself and keep in mind there's no cure for all simers and dimentia so much of the care is making people comfortable as their mind and body break down there was an eighty nine percent increase in deaths due to all simers in dimensions between two thousand and twenty fourteen much of those because of the lack of comprehensive available care of vailable in the u.s. alone two hundred fifty nine billion was paid in twenty seven thousand for the care of people with alzheimer's and dementia and alzheimer's consumes one in every five medicare medicaid dollars in addition to that over fifteen million americans provide unpaid care to family members suffering from alzheimer's and dementia these people tend to be female less formally educated they're isolated they suffer higher

rates of depression and often have little choice of becoming a caregiver and very little opportunity to leave the situation due to family commitments and perceived responsibility. which brings us to the question at hand what will millennialists have to do politically financially and socially to support their elders and avoid bankrupting the social safety net for themselves. as we go to break or quarters don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered our facebook and twitter see our full shows at our dot com coming up we get the big picture on julie the song rice about which i am also i was with the host the big picture of. cook state to watch people. climb the famed. who is writing extensively on

environmental issues and social justice issues went to these conferences in puerto rico and her takeaway was that a bunch of people of showed up and this is a danger to the local economy and to the local fabric of society so the first thing that strikes me is that lefties like they only feel they have a monopoly on good intentions which i'm not sure where that comes from. time buddy male betta medieval my dad. but again. and again that i mean by my mind i'm a me i'm a god you will think of that. in the move to india that you can make the you just have images consistent with you.

and a little bit of the natural again that the eyes. to get a life the city became a. cage it is. a hoax to. allow the. trolls seem wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any old belief yet to say power disdain comes to advocate and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

this is an insurgent. who enjoys sanctuary no matter how much military pressure you put on them they will be in one way to. hibernate and come back i need to be like counting days and not taking the loot. where is the real story and in the fake news begin how can you tell who's a russian twitter bottom who's a real american social media addict what's the difference between propaganda and government approved journalism you see as much as various experts and talking heads may pontificate about what's black and what's white the answers to all these

questions are very gray indeed in today's world guilt by association is par for the course and there is nothing more ominous than ending up on the political and media establishment has designated axis of evil that is exactly where transparency advocate julian assange finds himself taking refuge at ecuador's london embassy under lockdown for years now and now under gag as frustrated host nation takes away a songes access to the internet after the activists recent tweets upset the british cabinet. host of the big picture holland cook joins me to discuss just how tenuous our freedom of speech really is in this age of censorship and suppression and i'm holed up in this embassy eight years they've been doing his laundry haven feeding them and he's very clear to lauch yeah he's been there a while and you know it would be understandable if ecuador decided to cut songes internet access because of you know some extremist poster called a violence but but the tweet that apparently enraged the british government is

really simply a harmless and entirely accurate observation that the u.k. has still not produced any material evidence of moscow's involvement in the poisoning of a spy in england and he also tweeted about catalonia and what was happening there so hollande is it truly that kerry curiosity is perfectly killing the you know the cat in this case yeah i think so i want to swank washington affair a couple of weeks ago it was the radio t.v. digital news directors foundation freedom of speech awards and they gave an award to a chuck todd from meet the press and he said something profound he said transparency is the new objectivity and everybody's all upset now about facebook tracking them and their data leaking out of there and what's on that d.v.d. that stormy daniels lawyer is showing us a picture of on t.v. i just think it's safe to assume that nothing is contained anymore you know and this guy is a hero to a lot of people. so. prudence is dictated lloyd and you know

assad was doing what journalists should do he got a bunch of information that people can argue back and forth whether or not he should you know censor pieces of it or you know but ultimately he releases it so other news organizations can use it report on it and it's that will service to pulling back the curtain of the sunshine being the great disinfectant yes that is as so you know russia is often accused of bullying other nations and trying to assert their sphere of influence. that's supposed to be you know outdated now out of place in our body democratic world book what does that tell us that the u.s. and u.k. you know at least it appears can can force a country like awkward or to shut off somebodies internet access for simply asking a perfectly perfectly reasonable question and socially yeah i apologize for saying stormy daniels twice in such a short interval but it's enough to make you a conspiracy theories and a skeptic about trump's diversionary tactics who's next jeff sessions is on the

cover of time saying no one's above the law or ben carson you know with a thirty one dollar dine at sat you know that trump has got something on everyone and when it's handy he'll just pick someone off so as all of this stormy stuff was happening last week boom russia russia russia you know it's a hot button he's been criticized for not criticizing the lad this was his chance to look like a tough guy it was a truly isn't it and it's tragic that we're seeing i think julian assange caught in the cross-fire sure you know it the other thing that i find really interesting about the entire julia songe case is that you know most mainstream news outlets you get their feelings on the real quick job they don't like and despite using the information that he provided he's leaf you know yeah he's you know they're the middleman exactly and they view him as like this impostor now and you know a lot of the talking heads will say that he's

a russian puppet because of like you know releasing the d.n.c. emails but you would still expect them to objectively stead for a universal right to a free press and free speech but clearly that's not the case say people behind the curtain we were going to newsroom the minute something like these assigns things pops everybody's gathered around a computer oh you fascinated could could i could a certain degree of you know dare i say it you know collusion between western governments and mainstream media to be a factor in their coverage of the well in. it was as we spoke about a week ago it was certainly a factor in the iran fiasco iraq fiasco i should say fifteen years ago because it was catnip they gave the networks m. beds you got to ride in a tank there were pictures satellite delivery of live shock and awe and the media is a sucker for pictures and sounds and copy and it's interesting true that when you see

the media go after assad i think there's like we're taught more that i think there's a little bit of jealousy to the people finally said we know what wiki leaks is i can trust them not to give out my name to the government there whistleblower can go to wiki leaks and julian i can trust that the journalist isn't going to turn around and give me what i want to blow the whistle on something. i want to change gears here and look at the other interesting news of the day in the entertainment world is is. you know and speaking of this kind of weird vague interesting mists of collaboration. you know verge sample just this week we saw you know video streaming giant netflix monster announced its news board member was obama era national security adviser susan rice who aside from her experience producing the white house has been ghazi response that little series has really not that much that i've seen i could be wrong but not that much in the way of entertainment company qualifications what can the logic be for

a entertainment media company hiring someone you know like susan rice a deeply politicized you know i think some would call deep state figure you know why would they hire the politics will be useful because netflix is on in about one hundred sixty countries now and conspicuously missing china there are places that somebody with diplomatic savvy can help them get to but the wide angle shot on this is that names are again. for board seats when i was at the usa today rosalynn carter was on the get board and i got to sit at a table with her they open doors they have contacts they have savvy and in terms of susan rice herself pitching because as you know the only public servants who get rich at it are crooks you know your dad as gov probably made more money before and after he was governor because they are public servants there was

a quip that joe biden had recently about he must be the poorest guy in the senate when he was there and i remember when chris dodd was in the senate the post published a list of everybody's net worth and his was negative three thousand dollars so now he's running the motion picture association and it's his chance to cash in you know he paid his dues he served the public like your dad and you know now it's time to feather the national it's interesting in a little bit dangerous though and i might say that at least for a contant thing and you hope that they don't you hope everyone you know but you know if you have someone who's a it was a politicized figure sitting on your board you know are you going to greenlight the documentary that may call you know about like obama's drone usage you know you don't want to mess you don't want to upset the board member and i know that there is that fear that when you start getting into that there's been a lot of chatter since roseanne's reboot the other night the ratings went through the roof and if you read social media you'll see a lot of the righties snickering about this hollywood must be suffering are you

kidding hit head yes of the obvious in the crown oh it's nobody's going to be throwing any dinners for netflix they're doing just fine i want to ask a tablet that was on earlier talking about the alzheimer's issues and there's a lot of issues which is a hard hard issue that this country i don't think is beginning to realize especially the baby boomer generation is even beginning to realize what's could be in store for them you know what are we and that's why i ask you you know are we underestimating the potential for. health and cultural impact as the baby boomers now are going to be facing down these diseases as they get into their seventy's and eighty's this math you refer to is as cruel as the disease itself because you know as a road weary media consultant i've done many a conference room power point and you see people trying to yawn with their mouth closed when you say the word demographics but that's what this is about new world war two ended my dad marched home had me and six brothers and sisters do the math

you look at that map the tab just showed florida's and dark blue down there you know the old folks slid down to west palm and stayed there and it's going to be up to the boomers to take care of their remaining folks and then their kids to take care of us so i don't get it do you think though that the way our government's been operating where we are we don't have enough money to do that and i mean that's the thing that plagues boggles my mind i mean now you talk you hear republicans talk about saying well it's let's start dipping in the medicare lots of them into social security that's how people pay for these things sure and there's not enough money you know again roseanne a couple of big laughs the first scene you saw on the show was john goodman with the c. pap mask and then he and roseanne dividing up the pills we are all aging in lockstep and the money just isn't there in the only nation where health care is for profit as a baby boomer do you see that as one of the big you know things that they miss because

baby boomers came in with a lot of gusto and want to biggest generation and we're going to change the world for sure you know that revolution was taken place but now you see and it's like that's a lot of that's entrenched i mean as a boomer do you feel like that you guys have dropped the ball the millennial stink we have excuse me generation x. thinks we have and the only hope is more math because the only generation bigger than mine are the most so if our kids won't take care. of us maybe the grandkids will and kids we're all just stop letting them down and out kid you know it now it's an interesting dilemma that i think we're going to have the country's going to have to face and really look in the as we move forward shores i mean you know the you all simers and the mention of we're still far away from finding cures for this and it's cruel and it is cruel cruel and everyone is impacted even if not by a family member it is a societal impact it is a societal impact it will all pay for that and this isn't just a you

a united states problem i think this is a world problem that i think the world might have to actually come together hopefully what a concept i know running to be nice to see that and actually you know help solve this problem holland cook host of the big picture i want to thank you for coming on always a pleasure having you on and getting your insight into all this thank you so that was me such a pleasure. magneto and stuff a logger if it were any g. is a brain scanner that tracks the the field created when neutrons in the brain communicate with each other allowing doctors to evaluate brain activity on a second to second basis the problem with these machines is that they're expensive bulky and patients must stay very still in order for it to image properly however the brain research as at the university college london and the university of nottingham with a grant from the london based charity welcome have developed

a mega machine that is no bigger than a bicycle helmet the new scanner is more sensitive than current machines allowing the patients to move during the test meaning that it will be much easier to treat and study conditions like epilepsy and much easier in toddlers and children it also means that doctors will be able to track brain activity during natural daily movements like eating stretching or playing games and with three d. printed helmets it can be made to fit practically any had perfectly but most important this technology could help find treatment solutions for epilepsy patients who don't respond to traditional methods more proof that bigger is not always better. smart people doing smart things and saving the world are that is our show for you to remember everyone in this world we are not told that we are loved enough so i told the wall i love you i am tired rover to keep on watching those hawks another great day and night over to.

join me every so straight on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. the most expensive fish in the will. 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 a much larger issue. 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 catastrophes. the russians are coming for well over the last year and this is the message western audiences have been served up twenty four seventh's what is behind this hysteria what does this message aim to achieve how is russia supposed to react importantly are we facing a possible conflict. was

. twelve people are killed and more than a thousand. soldiers use live bullets and tear gas in clashes with palestinians this is during the first day of rage on the gaza but. it's another means you eat. maybe you can you're also. close to the. russia takes action to expel foreign diplomats in a tit for tat measure as the row over the script poisoning escalates. can't deport some sixty five thousand illegal migrants is the asylum seekers don't have valid id papers.
