security but will that help those two thirds of gleni else who have nothing save for their golden years and here to discuss we're joined by richard wolffe professor emeritus of economics at the university of massachusetts and hurst professor thanks so much for taking the time to be with us but one has a group are large they're fairly well educated and they are diverse group but having a tough time finding jobs as you well know are they going to be on the short end of the stick when they get older and need to retire. the way things are going now the answer is an unequivocal yes they are and they know it i think it's really important for people to understand that a whole new generation that is going to inherit this country the leadership of it and the work that has to be done this is a generation that has a deep seeded upset it was promised the american dream like we've been promising too many generations they were told to go to school they were told to take out debt

to go to college and university because it would get them the american dream it's not there they're not getting it and this is causing them to make decisions and take steps that are changing the history of this country professor i'm curious i mean i remember when you know i was younger and had a student loan i had the decision between why don't you pay the student loan me asleep or retirement and sort of the immediate thing was paying the student loan but is that one of the reasons that aren't saving i mean what of the reasons why they're not doing this at all protect them in their golden years well basically it's a squeeze from both the side of income for those young people and on the other side the costs they have to bear and you're right the biggest single cost factor is the debts the mountain of debts we have imposed on this generation of young people a level of borrowing necessity to get

a college degree let alone more advanced graduate training that we've never done to other generations here in the united states we're piling on the debt while in places like germany and much of the rest of europe too asian is being reduced to zero as it is for example in germany for everybody germans and foreigners studying their alike so our young people have these huge debts at the same time. same the jobs the wages you can get the benefits you can get the security of your job the regularity all of those have been diminished so then not able to earn the way they used to but they have these enormous debts they have to service and they're being so between these two and of course one of the first things to go is saving for a future that looks so murky or grim depending on where they said you know professor i've often thought that sort of

a gateway drug as it were to credit card debt and debt in general for youngster is is it when you're in college or near the end of college you know you're essentially sent a credit card and you know you don't have much money generally college kids don't and they start using it i mean they start off i mean forget about just the student loan they start off in dead they have this debt before they even have a job but would what would help this circumstance with regard to retirement professor employer matches perhaps auto would roll men into retirement programs what sort of things should people be looking for. i think you need to do to deal with the causes you either have to reduce the need to borrow by providing higher education as a national resource something you want young people to do don't put obstacles in their way so the price keeps going crazy and the borrowing is necessary don't give

them those debts to begin with for college and you've taken away one big factor and the other one there's no nice way to say this is stop paying bad wages stop giving jobs where the hours are in secure where you're not sure one week from the next you're training an entire generation to be able to plan for the future because they don't think they tend and then they're going to learn and many of them are beginning like carley be that if you think you can retire on what social security pays you you're in for yet another shock and that's why so many of them are not just critical of their own situation they're beginning to ask basic questions about the capitalist system we live in because it is giving them such a bad way to begin the life that i get you one hundred percent and speaking about wages and jobs you know if you do end up getting a college degree you're likely to have

a better paying job and that's something that certainly would be helpful in trying to pay the debt but if you have to stay in a position professor before your quote unquote vested with a retirement plan you know that could take years in some cases and like you say if you don't know if you're going to have the job for very long and they keep the hours below forty hours it means that you're sort of screwed with getting retirement program let alone any any match so it isn't really dependent upon us to change part of the system here professor. frankly i don't see any way out that is short of that i mean let me add a couple of factors around the united states today many many politicians governors mayors state legislators and so on are attacking the pensions of public employees it's a very popular thing to do it's

a way of avoiding having to pay these people whom you have promised a pension to in some cases for twenty or thirty years pensions to which those workers contributed their own money in part if you continue to do this you are sending a message to young people that there are jobs in the public sector and that's a major employer in america but also jobs in the private sector can't even rely on the little bit of pension support we still have because those are under assault too so wherever you look young people are coming to the conclusion there's no need for me to save for the future even if i could because it makes no sense i'll never be able to get out of this burden of debt i'll never be able with the jobs i can get to do that so maybe i should just throw caution to the wind live as well as i can now and the hope somehow something happens in the future the problem is when

the future arrives and for many of them and will not be that long five ten fifty years we're going to face for the first time in many years a society of older people who will not be able to live without being burdens on their own children in a way that destroys families and can tear a society apart that's why we're talking about is systemic problem showing up in a particular way in the millennial generation tough medicine professor but hopefully you will spur some people. all to at to action and to thinking more seriously about this richard will professor of economics of america's at university of massachusetts amherst author great guy and we're very preaching about you being here thanks so much professor thank you i'd create the opportunity to talk with you about a really important issue. on

wednesday puerto rico lost power the entire island with a population of three point three million people lost power the blackout was triggered by a single electron line to the old and outdated electrical grid on the island which has become exponentially worse as a result of last year's devastating hurricanes the massive blackout as a result of hurricane maria last year caused three point four billion last consumer hours on the island which is more than the rest of the u.s. combined over five years we were able to catch up with the mayor of one puerto rican town mayor maria melendez who spoke to our producer about her take on the dire circumstances with regard to puerto rican energy. if you live in puerto rico and don't have the money to buy a powered generator then you'd be living in the dark. wednesday morning

a disruption to a single power line right the entire island electricity production to a grinding halt there were no blart in the stores so they haul was a shutout just because of the crane touch a bigger line who stopped all of the seven areas all the plans energy plans. were we can drill in a single utility for their electricity called the pearl recall electric power authority or. used to be entirely puerto rican own until governor rick her to resign began selling off preface debt little by little in the form of guaranteed bonds memory of melendez of ponce puerto rico is worried that privatizing the only source of energy will lead to a worse economy citibank is outward to stakeholders are the one who all of those loans from. the people of puerto rico have to know that so the house of

representatives and the seine are the ones who are check that and we the mayors we are the one with has to be somewhat voice. the mayor said privatizing the island's energy sector could hinder other energy solutions people are constructing solar energy in their houses but haven't given the haven't gave them that that they've even half a permission from and they pay the same the same rates of for energy even though they have solar energy or those panels in their homes that. were rico's debt has been a noose around the neck of the island for years but in light of last year's hurricane which devastated the island there are increasing calls for federal government to step in and assist in paying that debt even thought of their use and over cycles for financial born in puerto rico one of those will be for given that one of the.

one thing is clear mayor melendez believes that cheaper energy is the key to economic recovery prep and knows it the old system doesn't work we have to change the causes to guy and we need cheaper energy to get investment from the people to get business in puerto rico. but the first thing for the hurricane ravaged island is protecting the island's infrastructure which already exist mayor melendez however is more worried about the island's preparedness as this year's hurricane season will soon begin i only hope cook will will throw as a hen and that there will be no here we have to prepare. that said pradelle thanks for watching be sure to catch bombast on youtube youtube dot com slash boom bust our kitty will catch you next time.

way the system should work is that every stock bond security underwritten by wall street or any bank in america one percent should be carved out and put into salsa security so that americans whether they have a job as minimum wage workers or whether they're c.e.o.'s all across the spectrum everyone gets to participate in this thing called the american economy because if you don't all the stocks are not part of the american economy. the philippine city of angeles when the u.s. military moved out the six tourists moved in. and now a whole generation of fatherless children is growing up here. my dad and then within a one month old couple simple than an eagle. my very day is

say gas is deployed in clashes on the gaza israel border amid massive anti israel protests including by the families of imprisoned palestinians. like the. local journalist working for r.t. is also caught up in it she's told us she's now ok and this more doubts are raised

so the videos purporting to show the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in series duma and r.t. crew visits places seen in the footage and speaks to eyewitnesses. but founder of the miss blackwater security group has reportedly been contacted by gulf officials to help create a so-called arab force in syria and replace u.s. troops are there withdrawal. oh there are seven pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international now our top story this hour to gases being deployed along the gaza border with israel trying to disperse the protesters israeli officials confirm that around three thousand palestinians are involved in the demonstrations some made in anti israel marched by family. of imprisoned palestinians there are reports today

that at least two demonstrators have been killed well earlier i spoke to a local journalist who's at the scene i was hit by the take us so i'm two hundred meters away from the fence that separates between gaza strip and is ran we can see that israeli snipers stationed along the borders there are heavy weapons they have been firing tear gas canisters live ammunition on the protesters and demonstrators and they're trying to disperse them they have been also targeting the journalists paramedics and press cars since the morning and it's very dangerous here but you can see at least three thousand palestinian demonstrators prisoners families and a lot of palestinians are marching towards the funds. we were trapped today between at least three or four to five kind of stairs as you see those israelis are on the other side and there are holding snipers and it's very obvious that they're trying to target the palestinian protesters near the fence now we can see women and

children. and everyone was it was suffocating from the tear gas that was intensively fired and targeted on the palestinian protesters at what's happening today at least two sense the morning two palestinians have been killed and at least one hundred palestinians have been injured from lifetime unishe and rubber bullets explosive bullets and what's happening now is people are still coming are still marching to the fence and they believe that they will state that protesting on the until the fifteenth of may which is going to be a tuesday and it still is still escalating in people are still near the fence as you said earlier you were caught up in some of that to get asked do you think we can have a look at somalia footage of exactly what happened oh my god it's crazy everyone is running from the tear gas canisters they're randomly shooting to. so now everyone

thinks joining me and everyone. was going to do it we were covering the protests and coming closer to the protesters and suddenly they they intensively started to fire tear gas and we were trapped by at least five tear gas canisters that we started feeling our nose and eyes burning we couldn't even take take a breath and at that time i literally fainted i didn't know what's happened what was going on while the israeli defense force spokesman has said that on twitter that the protests are organized by hamas a political militant group they regard as a terrorist organization israel also reportedly dropped smoke to keep protesters away from the border fence and use leaflets to telling palestinians to stay away

israel adds a military response is justified as the protests continue. my video footage broadcast around the world claimed to show the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in syria's duma is now being called into question the team from our sister channel arabic has visited the city my colleague. discussed what they saw with hugo she done. what we've seen so far from this place was and much mostly it's been a video released by the white helmets activist group you're looking at right now it's shot in a hospital and it's shows some truly heartbreaking pictures these scenes of chaos of panic confused children being hosed down with water everything pointing at a potential chemical attack but are to rob a crew managed to talk to a boy who was featured in this video of the white house and he gave his account

of events in that hospital have a listen to that had actually we were outside and they told all of us to go into the hospital i was immediately taken upstairs and they started pouring water on me do you remember where it happened. here with the hose or is it here it is. and it looked towards water on me they put me here and then took me out serious to my mother where exactly up stairs the second floor. up stairs over there valerie. saturday so the doctor started filming us here they were pouring water and taking videos and then my father came and found me someone had told him we were here so he came and took me away. i went up stairs and saw my wife and children i was very surprised and asked what had

happened my son's eyes were red and i found out it was results of what it was because he could have got sick and he was on drugs just when i took my son they first told me that they still needed him to play still to come away from. the boy is clearly in shock still to have to go through something like this or to go through such terror at his age is unthinkable really we've reached out to the white house questing in statement of some reaction to what's being being filmed in duma right now but we're still to hear back from them even as i understand there was other footage from the alleged senior of the attack was and yes indeed there was another video released by another activist and it is apparently from an apartment building where the actual chemical project tile the alleged chemical project landed this is the initial video that we're showing you right now and this is the project oh we our crew again managed to get inside this very building so to the left you can see our video and to the right is the original one and initially how

the media reacted to the first the released video well they saw it as rock solid evidence of a chemical attack the chemical weapon that killed dozens of civilians and the stairs that the us had regime has previously used chemical attacks the assad regime has used this same yellow gas canisters the n.s.e. telling fox news they have a high degree of confidence that it was yours apparently the project was still toxic was still fuming with the something toxic and that's why they had to wear a mask to protect themselves but we've spoken to a number of experts and they've told us that i mean a gas mask is basically not enough to protect. one cell from a toxic substance if that were a nerve agent whether he's got his base covered or not it's going to go right through his skin the only protection that he could have a whole body were in a chemical control suit if you were chlorine gas that would protect him from from

some small leaking of the korean gas for a while and it doesn't make any any any sense i could see it going through a roof and never even breaking its silly way and even if it did great go the dispersal of the chlorine might only kill the people in the room or what not even people outside the room have time to get out now and international chemical watchdog is carrying out its investigation into murder we know what level of what stage they're at now in the investigation while the o.p.c. w. inspectors the fact finding mission they are in damascus but they so far have not been able to and to do much it's not safe u.n. security mission they went to the city of do mine with the syrian army and they came under small arms fire so far it's not safe enough but this whole endeavor as some would be rendered well almost irrelevant i should say because the retaliation for the chemical for the chemical attack that's there's no confidence yet in the fact that even happened in the first place but the retaliation is already there the

u.s. the u.k. and france launched more than a hundred missiles to strike targets they believe the assad government are using to produce chemicals right now the big intrigue is what the official investigation is to show whether or not the attack happened well meanwhile the u.n. special envoy for syria has spoken about saturday's bombings of the country by the u.s. and its allies saying that the strikes won't help to resolve the crisis the comments came as staff found a mistura met with the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov. what that happened last week. has not helped after fourteen in geneva. in spite of what we may think or say. needed to be relaunched. ok let's get more now from our correspondent who's following this story for us and then of course jennifer medina just.
