and while we're going to pull it back there. is a beautiful medieval city in portugal's north with a population of one hundred twenty thousand. in the mid two thousand. contract award in the concession for water supply services to a consortium of companies. the main shareholder. a spanish own multinational. lewis first can sell us is a spokesman. my risk ok. but is. that. the game faced. to leave the. people.

but. you. must. see they needed to be relieved yes it. must. you could but i think. if the visit the plea. for all will come twenty eighteen coverage we've signed one of the greatest kill people. but there was one more question and by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you on the list he's a huge star and

a huge amount of pressure you have to go meet the center of the football with you and do all the great the great the good you are the rock at the back nobody gets us to you we need you to get the ball going left 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. needs to just say to redo the aussie team's latest edition to make it up as we go. look. welcome to max kaiser financial survival guide. looking forward to your pension account. yanks this is what happens to pensions in britain.

you watch kaiser report. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've mater the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth he longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and get cornrows to one hundred thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember one one business show you can afford to miss the one and only boom bust.

you're here my dad. cindy the targets that the municipality had guaranteed in the contracts such as definite growth in population and consumption was still only seen on paper. so when in two thousand and ten the newly elected mega fest a go miss started protesting the company went to coach demanding compensation. in the mountains rain simply suggest evolution medio huge deal but our government

money shipped out by governor since then think we should be doing steele's. sit down with the kenyan if employed and wolf. not far from this past us defend the city of fifty thousand which signed a similar contract with the same company and with tragic consequences. the people took to the streets past us to fight atta had suddenly getting to the most expensive water in portugal e.t.f. ok mike you still do just. what it is that we did that all gave you that one did it well then look at it get nothing against apple missed out on best o. but each of the k. med of passes to fight with water was the main focus of his election campaign. he soon discovered that the situation was even worse than he'd imagined knows the view

you give you of the the leak in the if you can of. the maze say museum simak is it food is it going on to him when they put is a pretty well i don't think that i would do it king is exposed to that moved it is look it says that. one class will be the only place where they live whether one to listen to the most and yes with a student this is typically by the end of the answer part it's nobody thought twice to say. the word bruce how diverse which is won't you have to be wrong. perhaps no hope. to me this is what simple song pony bands like on the need and what's important is the result. people of good quality were always satisfied by the sentence is in one

protected these are the main reason to be performed. for the people who knew the terms of the contract of sale for the company which had been kept secret it was only one option. to make them public. so that all germans could know that they themselves had guaranteed thirty years of profits for two companies. a referendum was needed to make the contracts details public. political parties try to stop it. that's what i do want once found i got. then b. and b. for to get. them first. the. guy i'm. getting it done for just barely enough of. me. i dish out only it will fly again.

and i don't. know. the local government under the weight of public opinion was forced to reclaim the berlin water company from london which has since two thousand and fourteen completely returned to public ownership. however the repurchase price was very high close to one point three billion euros. the high costs of roominess. were for mainly due to the further water of been privatized first. this where the costs are probably.

multinational have been very expertly proficient. at passing on to consumers because that's where the do always wherever they go. this is you. know these are pushing this official to be bullied this to sever all peace. making. funny marriage to this thing can this be a better left up to me thought i get to get in the economy. now and i'm thinking we're going to have to pull him out what are nato meston it never of the. heart and mind of the european which is behind world products. i think that the european commission would be very very good at chain poses water privatization on anybody is the only could.

we let the member states to organize in the way that the think it's more efficient . both public and private ownership are possible so that we have an official system . distribute high quality safe fish and affordable water to all the citizens. but if you're not just picked. in the patients i mean it didn't occur to me that in to happen everybody's got a. trick if you. we're not able to go on the common talking about three go up and i could be there is a better option. and it cut us off but despise that's when it's our finance minister ship that i need guns guns. should be used by you know how to get it all. you need is he said just

students stupid much easier this size and that's in sight and i don't. push the chief guy fishtail to be out of a communities yet will does. give it i was a hope. it was a historic referendum. ninety five percent of italian voters said no to water privatization is berlusconi's government plan. the reason why we had this referendum is because the business when he got it might . be for passed a law that was foreseen there but i think they show up local level immediately that

management of there will be somebody. making a complete city for many body to sell out at least fifty percent of the state's public companies for all the public said not only was there. a few weeks after that referendum triumph. and mario draghi the new and departing directors of the european central bank sent a secret letter to bonus going to be exposed by the korean adela newspaper. they remind him of the basic measures expected of italy. structural reform favoring competition and italian bonds including the full liberalization of local public services through large scale privatization. that secret letter. caused quite a backlash because the e.c.b. has no institutional jurisdiction to enforce policy making in an e.u.

member state. it was judgment the judgment of the e.c.b. . was necessary in this absolutely dramatic circumstances where forty percent of the g.d.p. of the. attack one of. the berlusconi government implemented many of the measures proposed in that letter while at the same time secretly trying to introduce provisions to private eyes water. a proposal that italians had rejected in the referendum. courts intervened and said no you cannot rein should years. legal provisions repealed as a result of. this calls to european commissioner olli rehn to write to mr berlusconi again asking for clarification.

at allianz who had already made up their own minds saw that sentence despite the outcomes of the referendum as an insult it also infringed upon an e.u. article demanding neutrality. if. the. you see that there are. good. and there who are not mix

is. going to do your. group i mean is that funny that we're going to prevent just. exactly sitting on a mole. you know welcome or it's your do up it don't go to do or don't then listen to peace process but. large scale privatizations of the key demand in every memorandum that the troika has imposed on every greek government the water companies of athens and thessaloniki always on the list. are laws. but the only person on the good. mr make a lock is

a journalist and was new democracy spokesperson. he later became interior minister for the right wing government formed by antonius a modest and twenty twelve. that was the year in which a minimum percentage stayed holding in the two largest water companies was abolished by law paving the way for complete privatization. thought if you tickle bees in the car then the copy of them one of your head to. the midst of it maybe i think but i must put up. with him i'm going to have anybody ever hear this. but i mean now i'm going to listen up to this case and they can yell. after an employee of the school and he should be lecturing of us because they're the kind of us to give us a few people and i'm still. if you take us to school big enough to some of those on

the end of i live a good location for the building they can move to measure us this is it this is shit we're looking at live in the superdome as opposed to skip i. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see that. global war hawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles for things going. to stop spreading to tell you that what we gossip the public by file for the most important news today. the hotham advertising telling me you are not cool enough to fight your product. these are the hawks that we along with our audience

will watch. the politics in washington not been driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could of gone into renewable ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america and be part of a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got stuck in the coal business which operated by the gas business which is a chill made dodgy had to turn a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in seoul. the united states can use head of. news and it's a tax on other country's. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is play some military

pressure on the countries a true talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the home. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be. twenty forty you know bloody revolution to the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know or here i mean you know i lived with video through me in the neighborhood is that i knew school in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took both

invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in. these another call that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. i . cut. dozens of palestinians are shot and killed by israeli soldiers on the gaza border in the worst day of violence since the two thousand and fourteen conflict. u.s. soldiers subject themselves to waterboarding to test whether interrogation technique is a form of torture. with strong anti-american views takes the lead in iraq's general election as most votes are now counted. and

that doesn't work for me in about an hour's time my colleague to be here with all of the fuselage is watching our show and. following a welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle have you ever known a hero well here you'll meet one also what is the future of the transatlantic alliance in the era of trump and the prehistory of the next war in the middle east . across talking resistance i'm joined by my guest mark he's an international affairs and security analyst and we have. a political analyst we spoke international origin

across in effect i mean you can jump in anytime you want. gentlemen we have a special guest on the program today and i want to talk about the level of dissent in the united states in the west in general and freedom of speech in the areas we're joined by ray mcgovern in washington he's a former cia analyst and co-founder of veterans intelligence professionals for sanity ray thank you for joining us here i think most of the viewers of this program know that what has happened to you when you were at the congressional hearings to get through donald trump's nominee part of the head of the cia. can you follow up on what's happened to you what were you you were charged what were you charged with and what happens now. i was charged with resisting arrest and also disrupting congress. i will have to appear in court on the twenty fourth i think it is of may and face those charges so who knows what will happen hopefully the judge

will have looked at the videotape and see how how ironic it is that i should be charged with resisting arrest when so to speak i was not on my own power and being dragged out of there one thing that people don't realize is that as senator richard burr yes who's hand in glove with the intelligence people they supposed to be supervising he started the meeting by saying you know there were no procession of we're going to executive session but there will be people who need to make a statement or all i would say to them is go it quickly do it fast and then be gone i said to myself oh it's a first time i've heard a chairman and invite some. as that was part of what i thought would be ok if i made a short statement and then be gone and turned out that they made sure that i'd be god and not on my own power so it was quite it was but ray well what was interesting for me watching the video of you being assaulted is that here we were

there is an hearing on a woman that there is ample evidence that she was involved in brutalizing and torturing people and and then at the same time you are being brutalized and i don't think it's unfair for me to say i think you're seventy eight years old i watched that video a number of times i could not see how you could have possibly been a threat to those police officers and you didn't look like you were resisting in respect of the fact of being force on the ground. thought at the time you maybe that your arm had been dislocated and there seem to be no interest other than a few people videotaping it here watching brutalization in public so you know it seems to be brutalization seems to be the themes of the time. ray. you know go ahead mark i had to ask a question yeah i have to say ray you look pretty good generally for

a seventy year old guy and seventy eight year old guy a twenty four year veteran of you know as a cia analyst but you look at a little worse for wear i see your glasses are still broken could you show us your hands ray. yeah those sort of it was a rule to see they did it that a job on may u.s. police state is my prison well you know. we have to sort of keep our sense of you my youngest daughter when she saw the picture of dad how did they make your right ear down so low how did they bring it down so low. well ok but it wasn't the air it was the glasses. let's talk about the level of dissent here because i mean what you were you were invited by the chairman of that committee as a member of the public to express an opinion but you were not allowed to do that so what does this tell you about the level of dissent and freedom of speech in the

u.s. i mean these hearings are very important jeanne a bloody gina probably will get the get through it and be placed as head of cia so what about dissent. remember where you heard it first dear she's not going to be approved ok or enough decent people in the united states are storming to senators she's not going to be confirmed so yeah it was set up those guys were already to pounce on me i took advantage of the fact that one of them moved away from the front so i could get at least a sentence and but you saw the rest of what happened so what we have here is committee this supposed to be an oversight committee see what the what the what the cia's doing but it's richard burr and it's the kind of overlook committee you know they're handing glove with the with the intelligence people who are supposed to be overseeing or monitoring david you want to jump in there well i think that there's

just well for what happened unfortunately it's a part of what trent i mean there are hundreds of people so-called whistleblowers in the united states on the no fly list and a lot of them who are subjected to similar treatment in europe piskorski the polish citizen he has been in jail for two years without trial simply a for given need to be used to the russian media say things which their means team does not except in law to be alexander got born and who was also or even donati and that to vist for the russian minority in logic he has been arrested a few days two weeks ago and no western media not a single western media outlet reported to about it i'm pretty sure this story with a rake is not going to be picked up by the mainstream media you know that's a heap of brings up a great deal of brings up a really interesting point because you know. i so i saw a couple of comments in the mainstream media you know very small margin marginal

comments but alternative media and social media picked up on your story like a dead engines i mean it's all over facebook right now i made the announcement on facebook to be on this program the positive reaction was so overwhelming it really made me happy that people are the people do know about this story here and you're not going to learn about it from the mainstream media. well that's the major major point here that's the back story and i grew up in in new york first twenty two years of my life i went to school there i went to university there and i have lots of friends that are still looking at the grass for my top ok this is still around now when i go back to college reunions and i say blah blah blah they say right now how would you learn so i mean oh well it's not in the new york times that's how bad it is it's not in the new york times and course i didn't expect to be in new york times nor was i washington post wall street journal so it's really encouraging that this is going goes viral among people who feel the same way we do for the most part

but it's i guess the main story in my view is that nobody knows what way did what i did and what i did was quote quite within my rights run why didn't the senator had asked jena high school were you there in thailand did you should provide the waterboarding of al new shiri and she said. senator that's classified yeah and he said i'm out of time now that is a classified well senator i classified it i have lots of incriminating evidence against me so you don't like the sacred section she so she she classified so that's let's make sure our viewers understand she classified information about herself ok oh wow there's oversight there not only right not only did she classify it she destroyed evidence right she did it which is also a federally run even though gray gray even though ron wyden to run wyden ran out of

time right so he couldn't follow up but here's the chair right and he knows that every one of those senators know that sure she did supervise the waterboarding abound the shiri at that black site entirely everyone knows that ok so why didn't he intervene why didn't he say now ms haswell we have the documents of course you say they're secret but it's a little odd that you should be allowed to classify these so what you answer yes or no lawyer there when he was waterboarding court she would say yes so that's the cover up here that's the the supreme irony that she can classify and make unavailable to the public to the people who are supposed to be watching what's what person this is this nominee to be to head the cia i mean this is an open hearing is to inform the american people which is a no no i'm sorry that's classic that's senator that's classified but. readers who are inherently apparently gentleman her nickname bloody gina. number

one parent lee she kind of like the nickname and number two there are reports that she enjoyed that kind of well in hand tara geisha and i mean this is kind of a reflection of the mindset you know nice nice nicknames these people have the defendants of democracy a mad dog blow. they're going to defend democracy a bunch hundred percent can you imagine someone that the newer trial you know the german nazi spite of that accused of torturing people can you imagine good i can tell you if i did that this is cliff's you fly you know they will say that they were fighting coleman isn't what they are different resisting jewish law but they will never say it was collection this is as if nuremberg never happened i mean this is what happens to a twenty four year veteran of the cia when he protests against torture and war criminal let's be clear jenna haskell is a war criminal. for not wanting to torture to be the director of the cia and it's

not the first time we've seen this type of brutality of course i mean we all remember occupy wall street pepper spray cop ferguson black lives matter and so i keystone x.l. anti dakota pipelines we've seen this again but but really i'm i'm glad that you i'm trying to keep a sense of humor and i've got a couple twitter quotes for you in that vein jeremy scahill i'm sure you know as well as i do ben jena high school is waterboarding the glass ceiling movement who. because you know in america at least at least women have the equal rights to torture you're going to get thirty seconds gina haskell said she worked very hard and sometimes even slept on the floor of her cia station that must have been torture from danielle brian irish journalist. well gentlemen i'm glad we're making

light of this and i'm really glad that ray is ok but again it seems to me this is a sign of time in the times that we have a person that is obviously committed to green illegal acts the moral acts i was i was. galling that he even talked about repeatedly the morality of what the cia does it's quite remarkable i gentleman i'm going to. i've been you know we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on some real news stay with our to. the bottom of.

the book. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be. that have to do like to cross the saliva before three in the morning can't be good . i'm interested always in the waters in the. first six.

yeah ok. welcome back to crossfire all things considered i'm peter about to remind you we're discussing some real news. ok gentlemen let's change gears here a fascinating article came out in. line titled time for europe to join the resistance here of course this is a reaction to. my decision to move to leave the iran deal which is a multilateral treaty that was supervised and signed under the auspices of you and the united nations security council so it is not

a bilateral agreement as it is betrayed in western media here. mark i thought it was interesting the title time for europe to join the resistance i would say that's a bit too late but you know they might try go ahead. europe was a member of the resistance before the resistance and you know existed as european leaders you know had a problem with donald trump during his election campaign and now they've they initially when he took office they tried various attempts through to butter up to him and to try to in the. way in the most embarrassing way but they obviously are invested in this deal with iran do they have good reason to be you. us trade with iran last year was two hundred million dollars each trade with iran was twenty five billion dollars right so that that tells you that there are there are vested interests they're all there then you know just preventing

a war in conflagration across the across the middle east but you know i have problem believing that the e.u. will stick by their guns we've seen them bow down before even when obama was was wiretapping angela merkel's phone but that the reason the reason why this happened we're going to rein in washington with one of the reasons why the you know using the term resistance is all nice and fine but what power do they have to resist there's not much there and this is a result of them abrogating their own security interests their own borders i would say and going along with american postmodernists of social theory i mean they've just essentially castrated themselves now they're angry and upset but they're defenseless more or less go ahead. or they have castrated themselves and the question really is peter it's seventy three years since the end of the war. now i lived in germany for five years you know germans and i know the younger

generation for which there is grille hope but the notion that after the war germans would act like well like juveniles or adolescents and all was about to to the winners of the war i mean that's seventy three years when are they going to grow up and act like adults when their own economic and other interests are concerned i think this may be the time because never before have we had a certifiable crazy person in charge of washington. it's quite a pass when the. when the restraining influence has to be exerted by a guy who likes to be called mad dog mad dog madison ok so you have a situation here which is new and i don't rush the kasia no i won't see europe acting as an independent entity in my lifetime i do i agree with ray but i think it's far too late they would have to i mean when you have these globalists

elites of so integrated i mean that is assuming that merkel mccrone in may actually have a lot of power i don't think they do and actually they all they're certainly out of touch with their electorates ok well they just struck syria together with trump and he wasn't mad and they were proud about it you know mark said it was a matter of all for that for europe to go along with trump against syria so in order to resist the main problem is not have been the financial power to do it the main problem is in the moral the moral right to do it europe went along with every action against iran and against many other middle eastern countries in the last thirty years so when wednesday or speak it writes that in terms of washington the only thing that matters is dismantling the legs. peaceful legacy or his predecessor barak obama so you say peaceful well this is what exactly you know the whole nine

countries that monica obama said he has all the all because he's got a nobel peace prize right that he has he was bombing only nine countries is peaceful for the u.s. president really want to jump in go ahead. yeah i just point out that there was the iraq war and. said no you know now he said no and then of course he he let the u.s. use all his bases and everything else in germany but it is a known sort of the french so there is some hope here i mean situation is really different than ever before you have people who are not fully in possession of their faculties running our country and running the alliance so to speak you know places like turkey drifting away from nato montenegro i don't think that really is substitute for turkey so this is a time of flux and if the you know. sadly in germany you have.

in charge of the foreign ministry of foreign there lie and you know how to defense minister and get to be defense minister for. russia. for him and for me is that it's not i agree on the economics thing of course the europeans would be afraid of being sanctioned by the united states that they're more than willing to give up on their own national interest we've seen this for thirty years this is a pattern here but the for me it's the dimension of leadership there's a huge leadership gap we don't have. we don't have to do goal ok we don't have a margaret thatcher i mean she had a vision you could agree or disagree with it but she had a vision i would even say helmut kohl had a vision for europe i don't see any of these characters now have a vision for europe they've gotten so used to taking orders from washington and now

we have this situation where we have not just a president we have mike pompeo we have john bolton. and we're going to have bloody gina i'm sorry i want to disagree with i think he's going to make a good team you want to jump in there well i just wanted to say that when i begin. clever resistance is necessary and necessary as sad as that may sound resistance against america and of quote he's not a racist i mean i guess this is the source is that there is sort of already julian so here it's so euro it's weak it's moaning it's snowflake not only since here it's too late to be the first to have a problem with the term resistance we can't even talk about the us democrats since they approved a sanctions bill that not only targeted russia. north korea and syria but also targeted iran while this agreement was still in effect so i mean which would seem to be a breach of it. to my mind at least and in many others. i think the e.u.

will just wait donald trump out their problems with him is mostly partisan and ideological if this was hillary clinton leading the charge in the dissolution of this agreement she'd be holding their hand and they'd be going along we were assuming trump is a one term president what would make that assumption i would make that assumption well. across this week when faced with the possibility that a u.s. may put tariffs and saying sions on european companies if they do business with iran now he said what are we americans vassal to which my reply is we yeah you are merkel and merkel said. we and i'm articles that we can no longer rely on the us for our defense too late yeah angela i hate to tell you something honey but the biggest threat to your sovereignty and security is the u.s. ok you know you know ray one of the interesting things is that we have the tribes

decision to withdraw from the iran deal but what's really quite remarkable is that we hear from the state department even though the united states is no longer a member of this multilateral treaty we expect the iranians to comply with the treaty i mean there's so many different dimensions right there that don't make any sense why did the united states leave if they are in compliance and we don't want to part be party to that agreement but you must being still and you must comply with the rank hypocrisy of all it's so illogical ok how people countries around the world look at the united states as a reasonable actor now. you know well peter it's giving hypocrisy a bad name let's face it but it's not the first time i what i want to introduce a factor here that's overwhelming significance and which is never ever mention in his major speech on one march and president putin talked about

a growing very very substantial alliance in effect with country named china ok now i earned my spurs analyzation in the sino soviet dispute when they were in loggerheads when they were fighting military clash is it because they're riverine borders i know what that was like in my short lifetime i've seen a complete change if there's trouble china supports russian policy in syria and in ukraine if this trouble in either of those places mark my words you're going to have trouble in the south china sea in the taiwan straits that's how close the military alliances witnessed the fact that the chinese newly appointed defense minister the first thing he did was travel to moscow they asked him why he said because i want to express my solidarity what the russians are doing in this era of challenge so that's a new element and that is something that i've been trying to get into the pressure

of now because i don't think i don't think mad dog mattis i don't think trump i don't think of bolton they don't know that they're they're proceeding from the old paradigm where after the war in ninety one in iraq the main lesson was we can do these things and the russians won't stop us you have the russians are not alone now the russians and the chinese can stop us yes but in another historical analogy ray considering what you just said about china visa v ukraine in syria august nineteenth for teen ok the the the possibility of these interconnecting alliances tems getting out of control and escalation go ahead mark china's got its own interests i mean after russia. iran is the biggest supplier of energy to the chinese industrial you know economic machine so they've got their own interests and with it with iran thirty seconds you know when people say that the economy is so important ok china is following its economic logic which markets just drive just

very well here europe despite the fact that they trade with iran so that you know twenty five billion a year just to call the city they destroyed their relationship with russia it did cost them a lot more of course that meant the least fun condor any advice is building across russia four times. more than that with iran and they still went ahead with it despite the fact that russia was no threat north at that point can you spell castration ok gentlemen that's all the time we have many thanks to my guests here in moscow this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us the extended version on our you tube channel see you next time remember cross talk was. 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 fans it's the age of the superman to kill you know this spending shooting twenty million while. it's an experience like nothing else on it because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game but great so it will all transfer. and thinks it's going to. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each dish. eighty five percent of global will you want to be old for rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise one is pure some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building

a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember if one one does not show you can afford to miss the one and only. pad the politics in washington not been driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could have gone into renewables ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america and be part of a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got stuck in the coal business which it up by the gas business which is a trillion dodgy had to turn a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in solar.

the memorandum of understanding between for example the troika and portugal the commission a spot of the troika is asking to first privatized across the book to go so in the troika the commission is still pushing for privatization so if it is really a human right and if you really are serious to the citizens at today's initiative we should start acting on policies instead of celebration. thank you. thank you. senior producer and i wish was fitting. into your. sympathies. as you watch fundamental me. that i compose.

each could have. told us but if it is a song you could if you're. concerned about the pressure being put on southern countries european water movement activists ropes to read. the highlights of the european commission as part of the troika to force southern european countries mainly greece and portugal to privatized there. they say that is unacceptable and must stop. a few months later the commission's reply leaves everyone speechless. the commission believes that the privatization of public utilities including water supply firms. can deliver benefits to society when carefully made.

to death could appear at this one as i was in bunches was as they counted a duffer to cosign. such a nice best son i consume of accepted going to see best fit it was something i don't. know so did some enormous ego comic every nothing yeah if its out of the depths of a thought if i thought that id goes a little botany see need to shift a bureau. and not by deed. you sure could get all going to dismiss your bridge you know that. it will explain minimum opinion dissenters extreme events you can you could feel secretly got he let he be the less i did. not look at dog ac these dual result was that he's gone and a very serious one. when

the troika came to ireland they wanted to privatized the water utility. but there was no water utility. the water was sprayed in twenty seven local authorities so they were told or government by the troika to build. the irish government at. a company called irish water. which began installing meters. side to people's homes. on the first protests took place. in sketch of the city of clark loreal one window to moni and said you are not putting up be the outside my house. i told him they were coming to this station who didn't want the water meters and that was asked.

what he and i were to there was a mass of supportive people here to stop them. and this was the first time that the irish people had taken a stand on any issue since a steady had begun says the troika ride to toes in the not. because. i thought it was. i think for some people it probably was the straw that broke the camel's back. and no one of a sudden move in the street together. and people who are joining the docks and you know what has the water meters got to do with the fact that you can't see a doctor should go to a hospital what have the water meters got to do with the banks coming in taking people so this. you know this is true

or own a little bit of power you can cool and fun to try but you can't stand of science or false. and there's your polar and and it like it might be true years and we're still not finished but people are still resisting this because it is the one thing that they have power and they're never going to get them. and we knew that this is big something different it's not. it's about water forced to foremost but it's also about much more than war it's about to hurt to be trailed the surrender of sovereignty and the redistribution of our west operatives and their debt downwards. there is a problem with the leaks and we couldn't find them until we have brought in some

measures so if i see my solution suddenly it says it's a million liters a month for a couple of days in my house i go back down to trial so that's the reason for the missiles. and islands there were no meters because they had a completely different system of water charges. the irish paid through general taxation. over one billion euro was intended for the maintenance and operation of the water system. some people think those paper water through taxation is a little bit crazy we really only country in the o.e.c.d. . it has zero war poverty and we're the only one with the a lot of poverty because we only want to pay for a trip to the us a general taxation that's the one thing we got right and we'll keep it and the rest you should look at for follow us listen to us because the dumb irish got this one

right. we really need to modernize our russia structure so now we really have to invest. so we need a structure to invest we need to wage borrowed money and then we need a way to pay for it paying out of general type stations people who work would probably end up paying more tax. we are losing forty seven percent of our trees and walk into the ground in leaks before it gets to the top. nobility in europe to spend do i choose to spend it on meters or do i choose to spend not billion euro in fixing the leaks and building a new one for structure. despite the water having been paid through general taxation. no tax exemptions were plans to offset the new charges.

forcing one of the major. threats of paying for water twice led most citizens to regard the introduction of meat as an challenges as another austerity measure and the establishment of irish water as the first step towards privatisation. mr ferguson down with the minister tusk by the government with setting up a new company. surely didn't work out quite as we expected. it was never on the agenda from my perspective that it could would or should ever be sold or privatized when i was discussing this matter with my officials at the time i insisted that the legislation would have to include three point one the legislation was handed to me before it went into the parliament it wasn't in it.

was real. central office and i didn't say of course we all know privatisation is ultimately envisaged. and then there was a letter from those interested just example say in your start you can say that would you please take these words out of the report. so then the report came out for years i would towards the. 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 are nervous he's

a huge star and the huge amount of pressure come out you have to go to the center of the beach. and do all the great the great the good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy to join that for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet this special want. me to just say the review theology team's latest edition to make up a bigger. look. seems wrong. when old rules just don't. mean you won't get to shape out he still comes to advocate and in games from an equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution here to put the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know here i mean you know let's put video in the new bill is that idea is pulling me out of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty forty and. those who took part in this to do over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. look at. the decision has already been made and everything is ready for the big day.

following the examples of berlin and italy the people of thessaloniki will be called upon to say through a non-binding referendum whether they want the water company to be privatized as planned by the government. suddenly however on the eve of the ballot there's a problem. that it would. face a bit of the scene that got it. not quite the end into the school and the people who are making a little bit of this. interior minister younis make a lockets in a circular sent out the old municipalities declared the referendum illegal then it got to kind of it will not be what ifs in the christmas numbers i love it and i think i was asleep but i don't see it as moscow and i mean that it became i believe

you speak of course. going to but it was enough it was. also the typical potatoes market that this if you tickle pace is to say after this i don't need to eat but i'm going up officer to somebody needs to pick it up timothy not all the house and estate is supposed to fit to give a list of if he has a couple. of days to host the b.b.c.'s even if his but a man who proceeded to call b.c. to put on almost all of them the morning place to put up some with a lot of boredom.

thank french president emanuel micron's on an official trip to absence thanks is accompanied by forty french businessmen each with an interest in the greek privatization program. today they'll have the opportunity to directly question prime minister alexis to press the law among them as sean louise shows up the sewage c.e.o. is company has its eye on greece's water companies. many part of hell of. a lot from us you guys you've got booked but if i long to come by because. i've been pieces of us they've got them now look you know if you look at it overall bush had more years now and then left over on a. little

flat most focused on enough wealth. he did. say it was i must. say. that. made. me. feel desperate to. get into. the country is now obliged to transfer all state owned assets to the super fund. a new anonymous company with a life expectancy of ninety nine years whose management board will also consist of representatives of lend us. the water companies are among those assets but the government still promises they will not be privatized. they need to go piece then

up ok it show you may go straight to bed b.c. must then say it will be he she asked me that i don't like and go to some extent but only get upset at the pot yet if i see both the state i sees that a preventative piece of above the seas fifteen at least a piece of it. to cross is from a loss who took part in the thessaloniki water movement became the alternative minister for the environment and was put in charge of water management following the state council's decision he's trying to salvage at least fifty one percent. of the if it was in the midst of the most oil is the level of stability it is willing to give up with the going to get this bill to get the government with. it misses the what i mean this is it since that was going to produce for what it was is it's what ickes the put that it's at the.

in twenty fifteen joe alphen and as became minister of the environment under portugal's newly formed left wing government after the twenty fifteen elections water policy changed soon after. that is will deal a first term of the vs a pot that if it is a set up if it meant that yeah it will slow team is the end this use could they call sawyer at the vastness. of the bash. that was nope it is say the defeat it was an easy boost me bet is that we will see the events. unfortunately the government has washed its hands of these cases according to portugal's constitution municipalities are autonomous and the state is

forbidden to intervene. to improve well those who vote on d.s. bossiest c.d.o. but if it is our problem they have us into. like a veto mundo us most of us all to the real cull if you so she had already the it to be divorce for you minerals. the key is to kick you boil it if you know us as well etc. marcello some passes to farrah have to get by on their own. best to go mr knows he has no choice he is bound to pay a huge amount of compensation one hundred seventy two million euros will go to the

private water company because the bottom has been a surprise failed to reach the envisaged population and water consumption targets. the municipality also realised it had lost all. technical know how regarding water management. going to the shelves in d.s. eat ph she would buy put it. so mr gomez decided to negotiate with the company will she be so maybe to start. fights and buy spark to get the three of. them ships to two versions. home with vs bob's without is no. good to. visit when you lose even a no such but that you. think will leave you eat fish just a double again but

a blackout. passes to farrah but the most expensive water in portugal did not appeal to the courts. on bottle brito seeing troubles realized that the game was lost and try to negotiate with the company. you know seems unusual to begin to look mislead lucas and they're pretty users of food through those newer to the past freedom at that he for that work bison was going to see. every of no no. no no no. activists against water charges often patrol this cork neighborhood. if they find an irish water crew installing meters they try to force them to leave. oh we say

you know what we mean when we know everybody knows that nothing is set in stone yet . the commission keeps pushing islands to comply with the community directive and impose meters and water charges on its citizens. and there is this principle which is. framed in the water directive that the polluters should be sold there should be a direct responsibility of this cannot be done with a general exception obviously next friday we meet same time. we'll do that. yet only at them we don't act and we. faced with an precedented public disobedience the government is trying hard to maneuver between public discontent and the demands of brussels. what we're trying to do you know in

a small way they would say has to happen because the european union told us it has to happen because detroit at all unless that's what it has become time logic on its head very very quickly because when the european commission after the different opinion something gets for example that apple corporation all the citizens of this country talk to be taught in billion euro suddenly the ideology walks in the next and suddenly the new liberal say the european commission it's only an opinion we're powered of europe but it doesn't it doesn't take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to how we tax how can do european commish take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to water for an opinion of the very same body and the very same people alone has to be her own decisions in relation to given apple a thirteen billion year old gift. well all you have to do is look at puppets to

explain those contradictions. i. see. all of these situations and all of the peoples of europe need to start having an honest conversation with each of. us missing the whole movement to defend. these good people basically need to be named nice but the same with a. system that when they're trying the western union to get them out of the government go in and then kind of i wouldn't have to approached he

was. going to come into shores to do are so many players on a company that to sell. beer shite wouldn't decent they will cut teeth. cross europe people are saying you know. enough is enough. can we have our social europe back ok. yes. whatever this song all these. are it. is a very. it was. google only known. to the time. difference

street affection. does let. alone a warhawk selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings in most of the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that still. the new socks for the tell you that will be gossip and published by a shelf of the most important news. on the bottom of advertising telling you on the cool enough and let's fight their product. these are the hawks that we along with our audience will watch. united states can see these. nudes and it's tax on other countries. economic sanctions or are often just the

beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries the true talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the hate. and so we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be. to be politics in washington not been driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could of gone into renewables ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america would be part of a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got

stuck in the coal business which it up liberated by the gas business which is a true dodgy end to a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in some of. the world dozens of palestinians a shawl ten killed by israeli soldiers on the gaza border and the worst day of violence since the twenty fourteen conflicts. with the north and south korea set for talks the west pledges prosperity in which turn for nuclear disarmament so we look at america's track record right. and stick closely. and the u.s. soldiers subjects himself to waterboarding in support of the controversial nominee for the new head of the cia claiming that the brutal interrogation technique does

not amount to torture. a very warm welcome this is r.t. international and i'm neki ara now our top story this hour almost sixty people have been killed and over two thousand more injured during clashes between palestinian protesters and israeli security forces monday was the most violent day in years as huge rallies took place against the relocation of the u.s. embassy in jerusalem. thank god. what a glorious room this small group. this

is this true. that with. the extend a hand in friendship to israel the palestinians and to all of their neighbors may there be peace. and. we pray for the peace of jerusalem. correspondent paula joins us live now paulo what's the situation where you are now . well the latest is the current from the palestinian health ministry all that well most sixty palestinians were killed he's in the single state of mind and since the last was back in two thousand and thirteen and will be in two thousand and clean should we all see in a theory that if these talks the injuries were to supply live fire

a number of people suffering from tear gas constant help ministry saying that on their accounts he is waiting on me to deplete pocketed both justice and. a national debate on any plans to take protestant or attorneys well said that was the toughest thing that we think the meeting of the embassy is to be a citizen and this artist and we recognized him even though we came to see him into the system which must face to face find and now the if they cannot beat the system that he can still change the citizens of taking on those of the church i think that it's been said was that has been answering to the possibilities of today with the terror attacks and the story that is in homs is very nice to this example set today teams up three times in the ratio of the day now this is translated as the day of protest to all those great e.c.

attempts to change that currently the status of the step if the palestinians take that they will be expelled from their codes and those to the different states has the total number of times today it's since six weeks off a great mom opportunity now was done to me and i'm putting that. speculation on the ground that that's because you'll find three obviously. the time. that that was less than two hours. appear to oppose a decision by the u.s. administration to relocate their embassy in the heart of the contested city in the heart of the city. for thirty five to forty percent of its residents are living under occupation most are not citizens of any state and denied basic rights were here because we opposed terms and assumes we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and if it is not a game after meant to be any fraidy parliamentarian why what do you what do you

think about the whole incident we are. in a demonstration which has been licensed by those in the police but immediately after we arrived they attacked us attacked a member of the knesset just because we had it been to the fasting and for god and then they attacked us and pushed us to the back we are here to see that jerusalem east is ok by territory it should be the capital of the state of palestine. in fact right at the heart of the firefight up to me to look that up shit is pretty well i don't think. it's much. like. what you. see if. you.

take. the street going straight up on the street. first ones and they're speaking to us live from jerusalem policy or thank you. for the protests against the american embassy being relocated to jerusalem have been held in the us itself crowns marched in washington decrying donald trump's decision rallies have also been held in several other countries protesters burned u.s. and israeli flags in support of the palestinians they also expressed anger at the violence on the gaza border top politicians from around the world have echoed the protesters concerts. don't agree with the decision of the u.s. to to move their embassy we continue to think that that's playing the role card at the wrong time american religion. we think that the moving of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem is an unfortunate decision we are rejecting once

again this decision which violates international law which is against un resolutions with its latest step out of the us has chosen to be a part of the problem not a solution i could and has lost its mediator room in the middle east peace process . believe that the current us president does not have the ability to differentiate and judge about the long term consequences of his actions are. concerned that the move could make peace process in the middle east even more difficult or escalate tension across the middle east to go to a ten year old well star guests for their views on america's stance on jerusalem. it's a glorious day of course we are happy by the declaration and the embassy but we are counting not only on these events by all our bottom history fifty five palestinians were murdered by the israeli occupation and occupation that

is protected by this american administration administration today we saw a celebration of mythology and political zealously and and religious fanaticism over politics and international law and you have israel and iran. and iraq hostilities you have the situation in syria heating up between israel and russia you have this incredibly. provocative gesture by the americans and i think the system there is cracking wide open already here in israel some people and all of us want us to expose korans to those who declare that they want to kill us who declare that they want to get into israel by booby traps by clutching called by a guy falls poor that they're just you know at the regional high limit rational

these are very our other one of these are the exact. are under some years later and that has only to for for eleven years you're the one who initiated this you initiate this you thought you brought the well your start up that always what policy has brought to the. terror we'll have anything resides raising schiffman and that is now a lot of and not anything if you define greater israel as the area between the river jordan of the mediterranean sea the area under effective israeli control jews are now a small minority and that popular. and the more of a minority they become the more undemocratic. and racist israel becomes there are zero israeli injuries zero israeli casualties over two thousand palestinians injured over fifty seven palestinians killed including l.o.l.

i'll share you how magic. what do all of these protests. all of these are guys that were happening on gazans inside the area occupied by israel in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven israel used disproportionate force in an illegal manner that invited the condemnation of all the human rights organizations that have any semblance of respect for international law including israeli human rights organizations like you have thousands of people protesting inside there the seed occupied territory and they are being mowed down by an occupation army that is still considered under the law as an occupation army killing scores a palestinian and wounding thousands literally thousands more but you know hamas is

not my favorite organization. hamas is a politically bankrupt group which has completely failed to exploit israel's gross gross contradictions and to use them against the this increasingly is the state what a hamas has failed consistently by attacking. jews qua jews and therefore forcing making sure that israelis will band together all the more tightly against what they see as an external for. i have something to tell you we want to start. in the future why not for the first story missionary there will be a policy and but mostly in early stops there are certain doesn't that i was listing years on i'm lucky enough you know part of jerusalem would be capital for

a fairy story and we will accept your handouts are the two state solution is the international solution it's not the palestinian solution alone i do believe still that there is a chance for this solution but it will take courage and it will take resolve from the international community to step up. whose career has reportedly started to fulfill its promises on nuclear disarmament talks between the north and south are expected on wednesday but with donald trump withdrawing from the nuclear disarmament deal with iran there are fears washington will win eight on its promises one galaxy have takes up the story. we all know what carrot and stick diplomacy is but these these goes beyond that way beyond their will get private capital the comes in north korea is desperately in need of energy support electricity for their people we can deliver that and as i said earlier this week we

can create conditions for real economic prosperity for the north korean people that will rival that of the south talk about extremes not so long ago people were seriously talking about nuclear war those with a penchant for the dramatic really made the best of the opportunity north korea best not make it work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen well north koreans must be sighing in relief instead of fire and fury they're now getting the carrot will they have to do is give up nukes nice let's just hope they have short memories so i think iran is on notice and they are going to have to make a choice are they willing to go down the path which i think ultimately will lead to

greater prosperity and security for iran giving up the acquisition of nuclear weapons or will they continue down a path that is going to lead to confrontation or quit the radians gave up on nukes dismantled their program complied absolutely with every requirement in the end it didn't matter they gave up nukes and then america took back the whole perspire of the thing we'll see how we do with the rand probably we want to very well with them but that's ok too they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life when life gives you lemons make lemonade so long as trump doesn't take the lemons too regardless perhaps this time things will be different iran was a one off right wrong i am pleased that the united states and north korea yesterday

reached agreement this agreement is good for the united states good for our allies and good for the safety of the entire world in one nine hundred ninety four bill clinton made a deal with north korea north korea could tale's its nuclear program and the us builds two nuclear reactors for it to compensate energy loss gives it hard for million tons of fuel per year and normalize relations they never built the nuclear reactors they never sent any fuel and they never signed an official peace agreement you're seeing a pattern here right risperidone seems to be the carrot except what no one seems the realizes it's for dangling not for tasting that just life they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life. a u.s. special forces soldier has subjected himself to waterboarding to try and so that is

not a form of torture tim kennedy posted a facebook video of being mocked drowned and then explained his main reason for doing it magically having a tainted this is look like torture to you guys it doesn't look like torture to be either the reason we're doing this at a basic. hero is ready for our that's been reportedly the director the cia. the nominee for the position of cia director mentions there has been widely criticized after allegations of her involvement in enhanced interrogation techniques which included waterboarding human rights advocates have been urging u.s. senators to vote against her appointment however president trump who hand-picked gina has been for the job has openly backed the torture tactic while waterboarding has been used by the cia despite being considered torture under international law it can cause serious damage to internal organs or death if the

process is prolonged we discussed the waterboarding video with a former guantanamo detainee who says it doesn't matter what one soldier thinks it still amounts to torture and many people can start on different types of georgia for example i know it won't be able to bear the pain of having it on twisted or having the fingernail pulled out compare to others who can't but it's not based on the individual's ability to be able to take that torture or not it's according to the definition of the law international law interesting just recently the two people captured by the syrian defense forces who are alleged to be water who look at what. their american captives for isis also water that. their captives so if the americans are saying that these two individuals that have committed war crimes which include what all the so this kind of notion of it isn't

torture it's only torture when we say it is when it affects us it's complete hypocrisy and it's complete and it opposes more importantly international law which which was torture completely is that not only physical torture. though so is psychological but the use all to force confessions out of people's. well there's going to be a grand opening ceremony for a bridge to crimea later today hoping you all the details off the bike. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.

a variety and your daily news caleb maupin now looks at how donald trump has been keeping the mainstream media satisfied there is no shortage of trump bashing in american media and surprisingly americans are pretty sick of it some media personalities have even come forward and stated the obvious we in the media are essentially all trump all the time and the upshot is that we risk not covering a lot of really important things at home and around the world and what about the wave of teachers strikes arizona oklahoma west virginia this is a historic shake up in the american educational system but the american media blinked and didn't notice i didn't see her be anything in the media about this on any of the networks even some of the networks that we watch you know russia trying to channel russia russia russia russia and how about poverty thirteen percent of americans live below the poverty line almost this is on the rise having increased

for the first time since the great recession but the media doesn't put much attention onto that issue either. we see an average of seven to a hundred people every single day. congress has reached an agreement on tax legislation that will deliver more joy higher wages and massive tax relief. and amid all the poverty some americans are doing pretty well now the media likes to focus on one particular rich guy who happens to live in the white house but what about the rest of the american one percent. we're shaping the laws and controlling newsrooms how often is a.b.c. c.b.s. n.b.c. discussed the role of the koch brothers and other billionaires play increasing the

political system which allows the rich and powerful to significantly control elections and the legislative process in congress sadly dion's to these questions is almost never polls show that americans have a lot of real fears these days they're worried about health care education economic growth and jobs however the media seems to focus their outrage only on a man with a bad toupee was busy ranting on twitter this is how michelle wolf the comedian put it at the white house correspondents dinner i've known in this room once to admit is that trump has helped all of you he couldn't sell steak survive or water or college or ties or air it. but he has helped a year know he's helped you sell your papers and your books in your t.v. media like almost everything else in the land of the free is a business profits keep rolling in while americans lose it will happen r.t.

aimed at the u.s. military presence in iraq even lead. against u.s. forces off that two thousand and three invasion while washington called shia militias loyal to saddam the biggest threat to iraq's security some iraqis. others as a symbol of. america. middle east experts on the sorry told us the election results could have a major impact on iraqi relations with the u.s. . and his movement and since two thousand and three there was the rocky a good patient there's a sense among the iraqis especially those on the subject of the song that a lot of conflict the recent don't think it ought including i said that song was to do it to the us he was a good patient and he was tolerance for soldiers for such extremist groups so against the influence of the presence of u.s.

troops and and advisers and so on with iraq because they think they are part of the problem rather than a solution there might be some sort of a conflict or disagreement between that you government and the united states on what that and how the united states can keep some sort of present within iraq and song so the u.s. will how much more difficult times ahead dealing with this becoming government done with about the etymology before. well there is a morning headlines we'll be back with the latest at the top of the up. what politicians do you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so you want to be president i'm sure. most some who want to be. with you go right to the press it's like i'm

agreement and she's back the car coach lauren fix on the new president of the north american car truck and utilities award of the year show help us work through a cavalcade of the. argue this all that ahead you know looking at our rearview mirrors birth we get to some have. to the united states is supreme to the united states supreme court has overturned the federal law that effectively bans most sports betting in the states the law the professional and amateur sports protection act of one nine hundred ninety two also known as the bradley act for prime sponsor former senator bill bradley who was a member of the new york knickerbockers back in the day it fell under the weight of a third challenge that was affectively instigated by the state of new jersey which is hoping legal sports betting can revive their faltering casino industry major u.s. sports leagues had sued the state of new jersey twice before on these issues successfully citing the bradley act as a bar to the state's efforts to legalize sports betting in this round though the

justices found six to three that the bradley x. effect a bar to legalisation of sports betting in states where it was not yet allowed is an unconstitutional comma dearing of state resources joining us to dig a little bit deeper is r t steve christakis steve thank you for joining us what do you make of this it's a pretty interesting decision i don't think people expected it yeah i mean with the brother being overturned today it was a law created back in ninety two as you said for bed state authorized sports gambling with some exceptions being the main one where you were that was the only state where you were allowed to bet on the results of a single game a wager results on the result of a single game besides oregon delaware and montana as well as the other three states that were exempt this basically means that individual states now are going to decide whether or not to legalize sports gambling and a lot of them are hoping to solve their budget problems because of all the revenue

it's going to bring bring in to the state and a research firm actually stated that within five years they expect thirty two states to legalize sports home i gotcha well i mean the states have had so many budget problems in part because the federal govern. it hasn't been giving as much back to the states we see it with the lotteries which aren't i guess quote unquote gambling but when you look at which states are sort of the states are poised to have the biggest economic and business impact from this over turning bradley law which states are those well we had six states already have that have it in acted legislature legislation for once this ban was lifted were well for when it will be lifted new jersey was the main one in new york connecticut west virginia pennsylvania and mississippi i think those states are going to benefit the most at first and then more to come obviously new jersey has spent millions of dollars and years fighting to legalize sports gambling so mainly from their atlantic city casinos you know they're hoping it will revive that they can add sports get them

gambling to their already gambling casinos. and it also is said to bring in an estimated twenty six billion u.s. gross domestic profit and one hundred fifty two thousand new jobs will take all the jobs we can get and so the states that are already up and running like new jersey connecticut at mohegan sun new york those states are a standing a profit but everybody else will get into the act steve thank you so much really appreciate you being here expert. and on the trade front u.s. president donald trump took to twitter to defend jobs lost in china not to china but in china on sunday mr trump tweeted president g. and i were working to help the second largest chinese electronics companies e.t.e. get back in business fast last month the u.s. commerce department barred z.t. ease access to u.s. suppliers over alleged violation of sanctions against iran and north korea leading the smartphone maker to put

a halt to major operating activities mr trump mimicking larry the cable guy tweeted that he had ordered his commerce department to get it done get er done which presumably means the administration will rescind the z t e export ban mr trump seems eager to ease trade tensions with china after months of provocations especially in the context of his upcoming summit with north korean leader kim jong kim has been meeting regularly with chinese the chinese a key allies ahead of the summit a bipartisan chorus of critics including former g.o.p. primary rival senator marco rubio of florida and u.s. senator chuck schumer of new york the leader of the senate democrats panned the president's attempt at economic diplomacy. the price of bitcoin has fallen again hitting a three week low over the weekend and trading at around eighty two hundred dollars which is sixteen percent below the recent high of ninety nine ninety but bit coyness volatile and today seems back in the saddle again and riding high on some

price progress to eighty seven fifty one in midday trading crypto markets continue to respond to issues related to potential regulation by governments including last week's raid by the south korean government of up bit in connection with money laundering and know your customer requirements up bit is south korea's largest crypto currency exchange. and as we were wont to do we get to talk about kryptos today and this time as they used to say on money python just google it guys for something completely different on kryptos in that vein we head to london where we're joined by thomas hoffman the c.e.o. of conies is limited thomas thanks for joining us you've got a lot of great experience and an investment funds in the best the funds arena specifically in gold and i was really intrigued to learn about kony cis which is

a crypto based upon gold for years i've been saying that for a long term a crypto should be based upon something real you can touch and feel and you're one of them out there tell us about can aces. sure so what we've done it in a service with developed a fair and honest monetary system actually which is designed to be efficient secure and rewarding for the benefit of war both individually and collectively. it's a system that revolves around movement hence the name can a service so what we've tried to do is actually still stimulate the velocity of money to actually serve what money is supposed to serve which is the commerce of the world and the best way to do that we really looked at what makes money successful and what makes money successful is it being a secure store of value so the best store of value that the world of a saint is actually a goal we also have silver currencies as well there are primary currencies. but

also an efficient medium of exchange so that's what we've done through the block and through other infrastructure interfacing into the banking systems and debit cards and that sort of thing but also we've added this third dimension which is the rewarding element and we reward people who participate in the system both individually but also collectively so individuals are rewarded and businesses are rewarded through their performance in the system but also everyone is rewarded through the collective success of the system is world to promote people working together and to promote the overall i guess economic growth of the system let me ask you thomas so if you're essentially think can ethers will serve as a stable coin for those of us or follow that the crypto space tether is sort of one of the stable coins out there although there are some potential pitfalls with that

but who will use in in addition to just individual investors who will use can nice's as sort of a stable coin and for what purpose will they use it. well ultimately anyone can use it but i mean it serves commerce it serves businesses very well in fact it actually a main draw as it. provides a whole new revenue line for businesses effectively so yes we are a stable coin. you know one for one gold or silver initially but when i say back to it's actually it's divisible allocated tonsil of gold and silver so how we know that. thomas how do you keep that balance between the actual price of gold yannick a nice token. will will ultimately the the the money in the system the monetary buys is it's increased or decreased by

sickly through demand and supply in there cannot be more money than in the system and what there is gold and you know the process will be balanced just simply through the fact that well it's ultimately the gold cross and if that dislocates from other of the gold markets around the world then you know arbitrage exists an arbitrage traders can come in and and utilize those process and differentials so i'm in way have. i come out of the company allocated billion exchange of which i'm the c.e.o. of as well we have a whole sell billion exchange for gold and silver for physical gold silver all around the world and from from this like wholesale physical marketplace has been born from and from out same and so we're interfacing these two markets together and these are large markets that will be x. is a large market that has really brought can isa's into into existence and so

the physical market its interface into the canapes a system and the process will be very very similar you might see some you know pricing differentials at different points in time but ultimately it should be the physical process of gold which will actually be taken a service monetary process right where you always have that which is i think the problem in general with some crypto zur based upon nothing others and supply and demand of nothing anyway and we hope you'll come back thomas at thomas kaplan the c.e.o. of conies is limited thank you so much for your time. thank you very much lou. and time now for a quick break but hang in here because when we return the senate there is an impending nafta deadline this week alex pile of it joins us with an urgent update plus she's back in the car coach lauren fix helps us work through a cavalcade of car news and as we go to break here are the numbers the closing bell bitcoin bouncing back after a big drop earlier in the day never

a boring investing day in the crypto field will be right back. to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. about the war hawks selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle but still. if you saw president tell you that what we gossip the public ourselves a little bit. off of advertising tells me you are not cool enough to buy

their product. all the hawks that we along the gulf will want. the united states has always had. to use its tax on other country's. economic sanctions are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is play some military press or the country's attorney talking about. and there has to be an answer to. that country and the leader of that country.

we have a responsibility for the. weekend to make rules for the rest of. those without us there would be. welcome back the markets have reacted to president trump's announced policy blueprint on bringing down prescription drug prices and they don't seem very concerned we told you last week that mr trump the bandon the promise that drug companies feared most that is to allow medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices according to craig garthwaite of northwestern university the proposal was quote quite underwhelming on the flipside the president did promise action against pharmacy benefit managers or p.b.s.

who are derided as person who had to write it as parasitic middlemen p.b.m. for third party administrators for drug plans under private insurance who are expected to create a fission sees in the system and sometimes get kickbacks for successful pricing to go. ations leading some to question the role of p.b.s. but big pharma companies are heaving a sigh of relief that mr trump did not make good on his promise and their profits will soon show it already stock prices for express scripts and c.v.s. two of the nation's biggest players in the p.b. m's were up two percent after mr trump's speech on friday united health which owns the nation's third largest p.b.m. said they welcome the trump plan and other drug and biotech stocks rose after the president's announcements according to wall street journal and an analyst from stanford c. bernstein and company said the proposal confirms that quote the administration was and will remain very pro pharma in. the face of the japanese shipping industry is

changing as the three largest carriers are merging in to a bid to secure a market position against regional and global rivals the n y k line k line and mitsui o.s.k. lines began joint operations late last month as the ocean network express or one effectively creating the six largest shipping operator with seven percent of global market share mitsui is the de facto leader of the new formation the shipping industry has been consolidating for years across the board in recent years there's been a glut of low prices and in the past three years twenty of the biggest shipping or operators have consolidated to just seven companies. and checking back in on a story reported last week the c.e.o. of air france k l m will be pursuing other two opportunities sometime this week at the executive had staked his position on the outcome of a worker vote on a previously or ject to pay proposal the predictable second rejection leaves air

france and the government of france to try and steer the company out of a workers strike and slow down action that is believed to be costing the company twenty five million euros every single day it goes on the french state owns a fourteen percent financial stake in the airline and. twenty three percent of corporate voting rights and president manual mccrone has made disappointing labor with lower wages less job security and austerity budgets a priority of his presidency with the crisis on their minds air france's board will meet this week to choose a new c.e.o. . and unofficial deadline to the nafta negotiations is looming as the latest round of talks continue to leave a number of issues on resolved artie's alex will hyla bitch has the latest alex thank you for being with us why the rush to get this done is this about speaker paul ryan last week saying something about fast track what's the status. it's

completely about speaker paul ryan he's the one that's got his knickers in a knot if you think of it that way like he wants this push through by may the seventeenth he says he wants congress to vote on this year and may seventeenth as the deadline in his head now some analysts are saying really may seventeenth is not necessarily the date if we get into well into june and things should be ok but paul ryan i think he's you're really sounding the alarm he wants things done. and something that you mentioned that fast track that that's a part of the whole trade promotion authority it's something that has had a few different names over the decades it is about fast tracking through congress and it particularly deals with trade so if you give the administration a set period of time to push a trade agreement through congress and also has a notification period now that notification periods a bit of a pause so people in congress can actually look at what the agreements like and

also for public consultation but any where you turn it they want to push forward the talk of the clock is taking that that's a for sure thing and also don't forget november sixth is when we have the vote coming in the election so that the midterm elections they'd like to get it done while the republicans are holding everything you know in government and they don't want to risk that they really want to push this through also from the mexican standpoint and they're having an election as well so having the nafta deal in place would be good for both the american side and the mexican side for those reasons it just looks good for the government yeah the mexicans have their election coming up maybe july first but i think it's a july if not if not the first so alex what are some of the key issues that the parties have not been able to agree upon so far. that's one of it one of the key issues here and this is an important one is the investor state dispute system now that is a part of the after as it stands in the way you have to look at this is that private companies and investors can sue nafta states if they feel that the nafta country is

not following the rules of the canadians really like this and they'd like to push it through a little bit of resistance from the states on that it's something that's being negotiated at this time as well as dairy dairies a big one and that's kind of canada's fault canada has pretty strict rules of what they allow in the tariffs and also just the regulations here a little bit different than in the states so the americans they want a better opportunity to be able to sell dairy in canada so they want some of these rules to be loosened a little bit the tariffs drop so that they can actually enter the canadian market and the big one this one that we've talked about many many times that would be the auto industry as you know the auto industry is integrated very tightly between canada mexico and the states and the americans have a couple of points what they want to see push through here now here in particular is one sticking point that canada and mexico are really kind of against is that the u.s. wants to increase the percentage of car parts that must be produced in nafta countries

and for that car to be shipped across borders without facing taxes now mexico and canada do not want to have any part of this they think that this is the percentages are way too high for the parts being manufactured in north america as well as the fact that they're saying in the end consumers will end up paying hundreds if not thousands of dollars more for vehicles and they want to mitigate that from happening also finally the u.s. also wants forty five percent even for cars and forty four percent for pickup trucks to be produced by higher wage workers so they want to see workers actually getting more money and mexico is pushing back on this they're saying how about we keep it around twenty percent instead of that high number so that's what we're looking at when it comes to nafta at this point we appreciate you following this really important issue at the port for canada or mexico. and for the united states r.t. correspondent alex mile of h. thank you as always thank you.

and for the hour on this we're joined by lauren fix the car coach and the new president the north american car truck and utility award of the year lauren there is so much to cover in what seems like just a cavalcade of car news but let's start where alex left off on nafta on friday president trump met with auto industry executives and explained the u.s. trading presumed that at least seventy five percent of north american content will be your quired for cars crossing the border between mexico and canada that's down from an earlier proposal of eighty five percent but the current nafta rules require sixty two point nine to sixty two point five percent rather these are rules of origin rates they call them where do you see this ending up lauren. well i think there's going to be a happy medium somewhere obviously president trump's goal when he brought in all the automakers the c.e.o.'s he had everyone there for mary barra literally every you know big player that was out there and they all thought they're going to talk about corporate average fuel economy but instead they talked about nafta and how he

wants to bring more jobs back here it's good for the unions it's good for the nine unions it's good for suppliers because that all boosts the economy so i i know at some point there's going to be some sort of happy medium when this gets settled as we said earlier we don't know it would be nice it was before the next term of elections but it looks like that what's going to happen is there will be some happy medium that will increase the current percentage which is too low and what's happening is a lot of products being built in china thailand singapore and when the price come over here they take away jobs and there is no tariff so if they decide to continue building them in other countries there's going to be a penalty that could be as high as twenty five percent that's enough to make you build here in the u.s. absolutely thank you for that at the meeting on friday with the auto execs it's reported that the companies really want the administration to do something which i think is going to be sort of odd for the trumpet ministration to weigh in on this battle between having to corporate average fuel economy standards to the national

standard and then california and these other states that have joined california and actually having a higher mileage per gallon ratio i mean i don't understand how the car companies could deal with this i understand why they don't want to have to make two different types of engines and types of cars but i don't know how the administration is going to thread this needle do you. well i kind of know they're going to do it first off scott pruitt's already going to go to battle with california and he's in charge of the e.p.a. he's going to tell california this is not the tail wagging the dog your one state of fifty and you shouldn't be calling the rules for every other state now here in california we understand that you have clean irregular they've been in place since one thousand nine hundred two but they don't allow for you to call the shots for the automakers but right now automakers are making different variants of different cars for different areas of the country we just don't see that and it's not blatantly obvious but one thing that you're going to find very interesting is i

think the automakers are sort of like a watermelon on the outside they're saying we're all about being green we're all about being green but that on the inside they're really about making money it's about you know about the read and making as much as they can so i think that this is going to be an interesting factor that although they're saying on the outside it's all about being green and they want to have high fuel economy standards they've got shareholders they have to report to him though shareholders are demanding profits and that's really what capitalism is all about so it's going to be interesting but i think between california going to war with scott pruitt and what's going on with the corporate average fuel economy we are going to see change and like i said this is if they end those carbon credits which he might do they end of e.v.a.'s because they want to will be selling as many as they are for not getting that seventy five hundred dollar tax credit we both write a bunch of opinion editorials lauren and i get the title for your next one the watermelon economy there you go you think you could take it from there lauren i want to show we're here is to the iran sanctions. and we know have been selling

cars in iran for a long time they quit there in two thousand and twelve begin wrapping up in two thousand and fifteen with the iran nuclear agreement but now the u.s. is pulling out first the e.u. and china and russia aren't pulling out what are they going to do they get it's going to keep selling cars into iran but that may risk sanctions against peugeot when we know from the u.s. and that's very interesting because rick. no owns nissan and so they do sell cars here in the u.s. an across the globe were peugeot was just starting to come back into the u.s. so i think that they don't want to upset the u.s. government because if they are going to continue to sell to iran and to say i don't care what you're going to do they could stop some of their production here in the u.s. so i feeling that they're going to have to sit on their hands and wait to see what happens and maybe we'll be able to renegotiate this iran deal or who knows what will happen there's a lot happening every single day and that's not really my expertise in politics but i will tell you when it comes to the auto industry it's about selling cars and that's the bottom line it's about the inside of

a watermelon one more quick area we're going to shift all the way to asia china auto sales were up by twelve percent in april to eighty two thousand vehicles you know i have i don't look at these numbers like you do but it seems like a heck of a lot of vehicles in one quarter right well that their middle class is growing like crazy people that never had money have the ability to purchase cars you actually have to wait in line to get your driver's license you may be able to afford a car but they're putting so many vehicles on the road each day and their cars don't go off their look we have a used car market they don't have one in china what they do is when you're done with a car you want to new one you give that car or sell that car to someone else within your family and it stays in use until it's gone so the only new cars are being sold so there's a lot of new vehicles being sold you're not seeing a used car market place in that this point even with the middle class growing there are going to be more car sales every single month than china is the number one market if you look at the mileage on my autos lauren you think that's what i do to

i keep driving them because they're gone lauren fix the car coach and the new president of the north american car truck utilities ward of the year thank you as always lauren take care thank you. and thank you all for watching that's it for this time be sure to catch boom bust on you tube you tube dot com slash boom bust r t we'll see you next time. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies move to me to peep out the cells with simple song alone even some company else with they can find private companies to take over the utilities many by the telescope was allowed to wish you guys who got to buy them the going to be cool.

been pieces of us to quote them out put it somewhere you remember the lift still brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about war but it's also over much more than war it's about the hurt and the redistribution of all or whether it's on their date downwards do you want or will. be politics in washington not been driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could have gone into renewables ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america would be part of a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got stuck in the coal business which up liberated by the gas business which is a trillion dodgy and turn a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in seoul. in twenty four to you know

bloody revolution to the demonstrations going to be relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is all. was spontaneous or is it just the lawyer couple of premier liz put video a glimmer in the eye neighborly as i knew this feeling needed to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took the lead invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic plan. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last to bang turn. your act caught up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry i could so i write these last words in hopes to put

to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was a game still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one different person i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. political. played a little. a . little.

here here are my luggage. the gaza israeli border is braced for more violence after fifty nine palestinians were killed during protests against the relocation of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. a u.s. soldier a subject himself to waterboarding in support of the controversial nominee for the new head of the cia claiming that the brutal interrogation technique does not amount to torture. and with the north and south korea set for talks the u.s. pledges prosperity in return for nuclear disarmament we'll look at america's track

record of carrot and stick diplomacy. a warm welcome it's nine am here in the russian capital and you're watching r.t. international with me because erin good to have you with us now our top story fifty nine people have been killed and over two thousand more injured during clashes between palestinian protesters and israeli security forces monday was the most violent day in the years as huge rallies took place against the relocation of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and other potential flashpoint it's also seventy years since the creation of the israeli known as nakba catastrophe to past the palestinians. i.

want to. thank you this true. but with. the extended hand in friendship to israel the palestinians and to all of their neighbors may there be peace. we pray for the peace of truce. correspondent pulis leo joins us live from jerusalem now paula what's the situation where you are now. well the situation on the ground is extremely tense as you mentioned there are almost sixty palestinians were killed yesterday in the single

worst day of violence since the last gaza war back in two thousand and fourteen seven of those who died were children under the age of eighteen those figures on the palestinian health ministry which is also put the number of injured in yesterday's clashes at more than two thousand it says that hof of the injuries were from live fire and it has accused the israeli army of deliberately targeting emergency personnel and journalists the palestinians have called for a national day of mourning today the palestinian government is calling on the international community for immediate international intervention it has to yesterday's clashes to quote a terrible massacre now there's been a widespread international condemnation tookie in south africa have already because their ambassadors with immediate effect at the same time we are hearing a charge being leveled against the israeli army for using to quote excessive force against protesters now these are

a defense forces has shocked that disputing this saying that it was behaving in self-defense in the way that any country would to protect its sovereign borders the israelis say that they dropped leaflets over gaza warning residents not to come too close to the border fence and that they tried to stop on numerous times palestinians trying to cross the border fence and they believe that they were armed and that they were going to carry out attacks against israeli civilians living on the other side of the border of course the trigger for the latest round of violence as you mentioned was the american moving of their embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and while inside this building there were pictures of loft and jubilation outside not only in gaza but just across the road where i was because isha and they were confrontations and a lot of anger against the embassy take a look. at the decision by the u.s. administration to release it. at their embassy in the heart of the contested city in the heart of the city where thirty five to forty percent of its residents were

living under occupation most are not citizens of any state that denied basic rights they're here because he opposed crimes and feel we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and if it is not a game after to be anybody parliamentarian what do you what do you think about the whole incident we are. in a demonstration which has been liason by there's been a police but immediately after we arrived they attacked our document but of that they said just because we had it been two of the best known for god and then they attacked. us to get back we are here to see that jerusalem east is ok i did it today it should be the capital of the state of palestine that was in fact right i read that part of the hire for up to me to look that up a little bit before we went i don't think. it was.

now unfortunately we do expect the casualty count to four the climb today as thousands of palestinians are expected to mock not the day which means the day of catastrophe it is the same day that israelis call the day of independence and it harkens back to nine hundred forty eight when the state of israel was established but for palestinians it marks the beginning of the mass forced exodus the israeli army and israeli police on high alert here in jerusalem and on the borders throughout the west bank we expect clashes to erupt often the day praise the casualty figure as it stands is at one hundred and three palestinians who have been killed over the past six weeks since the great march of the turn rallies were called for those readings culminate in today's nakba commemorations. thank you for that update i'm sure be haring for me later in the day. but for now thank you. we're protesting a protest against the american embassy being relocated to jerusalem had been held

in the u.s. itself a crowd marched in washington decrying donald trump's decision rallies have also been held in several other countries protesters burned u.s. and israeli flags in support of the palestinians they also expressed anger at the violence on the gaza border following monday's events turkey recalled its ambassador to israel and the u. west in protest. on the recovery. we think that the moving of the us embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem is an unfortunate decision we are rejecting once again this decision which violates international law which is against un resolutions with its latest step out of the us is chosen to be a part of the problem not a solution that has lost its mediator role in the middle east peace process we don't agree with the decision of the us to to move their embassy we continue to think that that's playing the wrong card at the wrong time. concerned that the

move could make peace process in the middle east even more difficult or escalate tension across the middle east total turn you'll. believe that the current us president does not have the ability to differentiate and judge about the long term consequences of his actions. we asked our guests for their views on america's stance on jerusalem. only he'll be miserable some people around us want us to expose tolerance to those who declare that they want to kill us who declare that they want to get into israel by booby traps by clutching caused by a guy falls poor that they're just you know at the regional high limit. that was exactly on the narrator under some years later and that has only to for for eleven years you're the one who initiated this you initiated this you thought you

know well the only your startup is steadily is what policy is brought to the world you tell me you have anything resides raises and. a lot of and not anything if you define greater israel as the area between the river jordan and the mediterranean sea the area under effective israeli control jews are now a small minority and that population and the more of a minority they become the more undemocratic. and racist israel becomes there are zero israeli injuries zero israeli casualties over two thousand palestinians injured over fifty seven palestinians killed including and i'll share you how magic arabs are about how accurate israel what do all of these protests. all of these are owed tests in gaza that were happening on gaza

and saw oil inside the area occupied by israel in one nine hundred sixty seven israel used disproportionate force in an illegal manner the killing scores a palestinian and won't thousands literally thousands more but you know hamas is not my favorite organization. so the hamas. political group which has completely failed to exploit israel's growth growth contradictions and to use them against the increasingly race a state where hamas has failed consistently by attacking. jews quiet jews and therefore forcing making sure that israel is will burn together all the more tightly against what they see as an external threat i have something to

tell you we want to establish a palestinian state in the future a two state solution is the international solution it's not the palestinian solution alone i do believe still that there is a chance for this solution but it will take courage and it will take resolve from the international community to step up. u.s. special forces soldier has subjected himself to waterboarding to try and show that it's not a former tour of torture tim kennedy posted a facebook video of being mocked drowned and then explained his main reason for doing it. look like torture to you guys it doesn't look like torture to be either the reason we're doing this a big. hero is ready for our does that apply to the director the cia the nominee for the position of cia director mentions that has been widely

criticized after allegations of her involvement in enhanced interrogation techniques which included waterboarding human rights advocates have been urging u.s. senators to vote against her appointment however president trump who hand picked a hospital for the job has openly backed the torture tactic. waterboarding has been used by the cia despite being considered torture under international law it can cause serious damage to internal organs or death if the process is prolonged we discussed the waterboarding video with a former guantanamo detainee who says it doesn't matter what one folder thinks it's still an amount to torture and many people can withstand different types of torture for example i know it might be able to hear the pain of having it on twisted or having the fingernail pulled out compared to others who can't but it's not based on the individual's ability to be able to take that torture or not it's according to the definition of the law international law interesting just recently the two

people captured by the syrian defense forces who are alleged to be water. water or captives their american captives for isis also water ordered that. their captives so if the americans are saying that these two individuals that have committed war crimes which include what all the so this kind of notion of it isn't torture it's only torture when we say it is when it affects us it's complete hypocrisy and it's complete and it opposes more importantly international law which which was torture completely is that not only physical torture. so it's psychological but the use all to force confessions out of. north korea has reportedly started to fulfill its promises on nuclear disarmament talks between the north and south are expected on wednesday but with donald trump

withdrawing from the nuclear disarmament deal with iran there are fears that washington will win eight on its promises my god they have takes up the story. we all know what carrot and stick diplomacy is but these these goes beyond that way beyond their will get private capital that comes in north korea is desperately in need of energy support electricity for their people we can deliver that and as i said earlier this week we can create conditions for real economic prosperity for the north korean people that will rival that of the south talk about extremes not so long ago people were seriously talking about nuclear war those with a penchant for the dramatic really made the best of the opportunity north korea best not make it even worse threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen well north koreans

must be sighing in relief instead of fire and fury they're now getting the carrot will they have to do is give up nukes nice let's just hope they have short memories so i think iran is on notice and they are going to have to make a choice are they willing to go down the path which i think ultimately will lead to greater prosperity and security for iran giving up the acquisition of nuclear weapons or will they continue down a path that is going to lead to confrontation or could the arabians gave up on nukes dismantle their program complied absolutely with every requirement in the end it didn't matter they gave up nukes and then america took back the whole perspire it's a thing we'll see how we do with the rand probably we want to very well with them

but that's ok too they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life when life gives you lemons make lemonade so long as trump doesn't take the lemons to regardless perhaps this time things will be different iran was a one off right wrong i am pleased that the united states and north korea yesterday reached agreement this agreement is good for the united states good for our allies and good for the safety of the entire world in one nine hundred ninety four bill clinton made a deal with north korea north korea could tale's its nuclear program and the us builds two nuclear reactors for it to compensate energy loss gives it a half a million tons of fuel per year and normalize relations they never built the nuclear reactors they never sent any fuel and they never signed an official peace

agreement you're seeing a pattern here right perspire it seems to be the carrot except what no one seems the realizes it's for dangling not for tasting that just life they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life. well there's going to be a grand opening ceremony for russia's longest bridge later today open to all the details after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to for him to let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only loosely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

shows seem wrong when old rules just don't hold. any belief yet to shape out these days to come to educate and gain from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back an obsession in the us media is making it difficult to find variety in your daily news on cheese callup mall pienaar looks at how donald trump has been

keeping the mainstream media satisfied there is no shortage of trump bashing in american media and unsurprisingly americans are pretty sick of it some media personalities have even come forward and stated the obvious we in the media are essentially all trump all the time and the upshot is that we risk not covering a lot of really important things at home and around the world and what about the wave of teachers strikes arizona oklahoma west virginia this is a historic shake up in the american educational system but the american media blinked and didn't notice i didn't see her be anything in the media about this on any of the networks even some of the networks that we watch you know russia turn the channel russia russia russia russia and how about poverty thirteen percent of americans live below the poverty line almost this is on the rise having increased for the first time since the great recession but the media doesn't put much attention on to that issue either.

we see an average of seven to a hundred people every single day. congress has reached an agreement on tax legislation that will deliver more jobs higher wages and massive tax relief. and amid all the poverty some americans are doing pretty well now the media likes to focus on one particular rich guy who happens to live in the white house but what about the rest of the american one percent who are shaping the laws and controlling newsrooms how often does a.b.c. c.b.s. n.b.c. discuss the role of the koch brothers and of the billionaires play increasing the political system which allows the rich and powerful to significantly control elections and the legislative process in congress sadly dion's to these questions

is almost never polls show that americans have a lot of real fears these days they're worried about health care education economic growth and jobs however the media seems to focus their outrage only on a man with a bad toupee was busy ranting on twitter this is how michelle wolfe the comedian put it at the white house correspondents dinner i've known in this room once to admit is that trump has helped all of you he couldn't sell steak survive or water or college or ties or air it. but he has helped you he's helped you sell your papers and your books in your t.v. media like almost everything else in the land of the free is a business profits keep rolling in while americans lose a limb oppen artsy new york. average bridge that connects mainland

a shia cleric with strong anti-american views looks on course to become the most powerful figure in iraqi politics mocks al floggers coalition is sweeping to victory in the parliamentary election and is known as being an outspoken critic of the u.s. military presence in iraq and an opponent to a wrong he even led to revolts against american forces off the two thousand and three invasion while washington called shia militia loyal to saddam or the biggest threat to iraq security from iraq

a support al assad or for his religious beliefs while others see him as a symbol of resistance against the u.s. media. winning in the parliamentary elections would effectively put out as kingmaker giving him huge influence in choosing the next prime minister of iraq a little gives the political blocs ninety days to form a parliamentary majority and select their leader middle east experts about all necessary told as the election results could have a major impact on iraq he will ations with the us. and his movement and since two thousand and three there was the iraq he could patient there's a sense among the iraqis especially those on one of the subjects of the song that a lot of conflict the recent poll think iraq including the ice is its own was mostly due to the us it was a completion and us towards force or for such an extremist group so they are against the influence of the presence of u.s. troops and and advisors and so on within iraq because they think they are part of

the problem rather than solution there might be some sort of conflict or disagreement between the government and the united states on what that and how the united states can keep some sort of present in iraq and so on so the u.s. will how much more difficult times ahead dealing with this become a government done with about the an amount of people for. which i think that you can have your say on all of our stories by following us on social media we'll be back at the top of the hour with all the latest headlines we'll see you then. 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. you guys i know you on the list he's a huge star and a huge amount of pressure come out you have to go meet the center of the football

with you and we will show you all the great game the grid the good 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 the team for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one it was also appreciate me to just read the review beyond the team's latest edition to make it up as we go. to look. at the politics in washington up and driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could have gone into renewables ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america would be part of a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyists they got stuck in the coal business which it up liberated by the gas business which is

a trillion dodgy had to turn a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in some way. separated by three thousand miles when we think of hollywood we don't necessarily associate it with washington. imitate and reflects life whether promoting lifestyles idiology. the media as a powerful. hollywood

greats. we know politicians court hollywood stars for support katy perry is paid over seventy thousand dollars to perform for the hillary clinton campaign well it seems no money was needed for that eastwood to stump at their public and national convention in two thousand and twelve harvey weinstein's ties to the clintons and barack obama run deeper than the millions of dollars of campaign contributions he's raised obama's daughter malia went to in turn for the weinstein company after his presidency a political campaign support should be expected from citizens celebrity or not. the deeper threat arises when film and media are influenced to tell stories on behalf of the political establishment such products could be construed as propaganda.

they were a lot of people in hollywood who have some kind of relationship with the cia and department of defense an awful long list of individuals that we have in the book i mean look at these people have visited langley and some of them have a close connection. so ben affleck for instance but affleck former wife jennifer got to recruitment out of the cia in early two thousand and thirteen americans might have found it curious to see the first lady appear via satellite at the academy awards ceremony to announce the best picture oscar for a film about the rescue of american hostages in iran in one thousand nine hundred by the cia well when i think of other films big films that have conveyed the cia's message i think argo argo was a film that talks about the daring do of a couple of cia and soon to go to iran and rescue six american diplomats the

iranians wanted to let go of those hostages pretty quickly they didn't really want to cause a problem with the united states of america but i had a total of khamenei who is meant personified as evil and the u.s. press had made a deal with the reagan administration urged the reagan campaign at that point not to release the hostages and only after reagan had been elected strangely enough that day the hostages were released so that bill neglects to mention how pivotal regnum ministration was for breaking campaign was in making sure that those hostages were released it was called the october so. ride's the october surprise may have set the stage for the iran contra scandal of the one nine hundred eighty s. as reagan's white house cut deals with the iranian government to sell them arms in exchange for assistance there releasing american hostages including cia agents in lebanon the proceeds from those arms sales relief diverted to the contra armies

fighting to overthrow the socialist government in nicaragua when he betrayed america what he had done was far worse than nixon and watergate and here was reagan that way with it katharine graham he was one of the leaders of the conservative movement there to kill off she said no more watergate's because she said the country can't survive so when the iran contra broke there was no cooperation from the media to go after reagan on that. so for example in one thousand nine hundred fold it was a phone call countermeasures which had been scripted in green and it was going to start to go any we've seen it davis it was you know big big production but it was on an aircraft carrier and it referred to iran contra the cia gunrunning scandal involving iran and the correct you're now salvador and so on and the military

literally said in a memo we have no reason to remind the american public of the iran contra scandal although to denigrate the white house. that is the mentality that so they with they said no we won't provide next rocker if you're filming and the film was therefore never made even though it was a long way down the track now that happens time and time and time and time again which ultimately changes the culture the popular culture in the united states and across the west by changing the popular culture you're also playing havoc with the political culture as well. if you hadn't seventeen tom cruise starred in american made a film exposing the dark side of iran contra this is leading to. the cia knew drugs were being smuggled into america to facilitate financing their contra armies but the film did its best to train one of the smugglers very seal as an independent wildcard rather than a lifelong cia asset. seal was one of the most important.

for our operators in the us in the time of the bay of pigs and yet this movie has the cia first learning about him when they see that he successfully smuggling cigars from cuba the director doug lehman is the son of the house majority counsel to the kerry commission that looked into iran contra they never got to the bottom of the contra cocaine thing but his dad was generally looked upon as a good guy but i do research into personal he's the guy that made oliver north famous it was as a result of his inept questioning that oliver north became america's hero and then i find out that this guy his father also was a personal attorney for henry kissinger personal attorney for robert best go personal journey for michael milken and the list goes on father arthur was not part of the subsequent carry subcommittee's. field cocaine smuggling in the conscious

supply and that. one journalist gary webb published articles in the san jose mercury to better elucidate the relationship between cia and other agencies that protected contra drug trafficking he was right out of mainstream journalism. the story was finally told in two thousand and fourteen kill the messenger gary webb you know was a really great investigative reporter who broke a story right at the beginning of the internet era was actually the first big internet news exposé and it involved some geishas of cia connected drug sales in

the one nine hundred eighty s. and l. a the biggest crack campaign freeway ricky ross who is well known to the public because the l.a. times already called in the campaign to crack cocaine the person most responsible for the rise of the drug epidemic gary webb came along and revealed that nicaraguans working with the cia and actually provided him with cheap cocaine for all these years the three major newspapers all stepped in with the washington post which is traditionally been like the attack dog of the cia over the decades and to a certain extent still is they just attacked kerry's story and then attacked kerry's entire career and try to discredit him drove him out of journalism nothing like that is ever happened before or since to my knowledge and again as you mentioned it drove him out of journalism and ultimately destroyed his life their relationship between the ruling elite and media has existed since the origin of newspapers but it makes hundred seventeen congressman callaway and more sounded the alarm that the j.p. morgan bank working with big steel shipping in weapons manufacturers had purchased

controlling interests in twenty five of the largest newspapers across the country to promote american entry into the first world war on the side of the british and french owed the morgan banks hundreds of millions of dollars in wartime debts hollywood was quickly recruited to the war. nineteen seventeen. the government started to issue with a call that the time liberty bonds and hollywood rallied to the cause and help sell these liberty bonds you had people like. mary pickford fair banks charlie chaplin and other hollywood stars out there promoting these war bonds. the whole field of public relations that the name public relations was created by a guy named bearnaise. he created the field he was young man specifically to sell war bonds for the first world war that was the origin of what we now know as public relations and he realized instead of telling people buy bonds too because you'll

make some money off your bonds you know you know save it will help america instead it was like you're buying bonds to defeat the hun you know that killing babies in belgium this was this was his propaganda you know this if you're if you're against killing babies in belgium by us war bonds and so the whole war bomb propaganda. that was the very first use of what we today call. public relations but you also had during world war one the beginnings of government propaganda on a much larger scale much of this was run through the committee on public information that was headed by george creel and and they were deliberately trying to manipulate the public to support the war and they did that on a lot of different fronts again during world war one this was a time when you had vast censorship where it was against the law to oppose the

draft it was against the law to publicly speak against the war really and many very patriotic americans were thrown into prison during world war one because they were opposing the war including eugene debs leading big bill haywood people who spoke out against world war one his being a war in which working class kids were being sacrificed the name of profits for the big banks. in the one nine hundred thirty s. radio was the internet of its day and programs like the radio research project to cry. the university which rockefeller foundation financing had already begun to discern that in the words of theodore dora no radio music listeners are not childlike but they are childish their primitivism is not that of the end developed

but that of the forcibly retarded. frank stanton was one of the project's directors before becoming president of c.b.s. news. ladies and government we interrupt our program again to bring you a special bulletin from the intercontinental radio i've got a minute before i am rather probably not going to call the little noise brought the good thing several exploding with incandescent occurring at regular intervals on the planet mars but. the hydrogen i'm moving toward the earth with a normal. one hundred thirty eight orson welles created a national panic with his radio broadcast of h.g. wells' as warped the world about a quarter of the listeners on hollowing morning actually believed they were being invaded by the dredger. and three years later attacked it comes not by germans or martian invaders but by the japanese one of the ironies is that many of the people

who are going to be blacklisted and greylisting during the mccarthy period where the ones who are out there promoting the war and promoting war bonds during the war in the history of the early cold war anyone seen as pro-communist despite the soviets being america's strongest allies during the war we're now subject to loyalty of background checks and even on the plane. or some hollywood actors like ronald reagan actually became f.b.i. informants others refused to disavow their first amendment freedom of political association during the witch hunt and september of nineteen forty seven we've got the first hearings about the hollywood ten as we've come to know that they actually called for forty one witnesses nineteen of whom they expected to be hostile and those nineteen ten testified ten leading hollywood people seven of whom are writers only one was an actor but they claim the

first amendment and refused to answer a question. ns about their political affiliations based upon the first amendment they were later found to be in contempt they were sent to prison in one thousand nine hundred fifty these are people like dalton trumbo ring lardner lardner was the most most highly paid and successful screenwriter in hollywood at the time these are the top names these were academy award winners and they were clearly very very patriotic and they refused to talk about whether they had been members of the communist party it was nothing illegal about being a member of the communist party and given america's commitment to first memory rights there was no reason why they should be called to testify about that but careers were ruined and my uncle was blacklisted all over crawford later became head the screen writers guild and. you know we do forget that hollywood was

very complicit and while we talk about the you know there's a story the unfriendly ten writers like dalton trumbo who had written antiwar scripts and now they are being labeled as communists because they weren't going along with the new militarism but remember hollywood did turning these people my uncle could not get work he was very very difficult to break through it took him ten years of being terrorized and being knocked out to be able to get back to hollywood and even then things had to be sanitized.

join me everything on the alec simon chill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. i've played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside i. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch pull the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super manager kilian erroneous and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else i want to do because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game a great so one more chance for. the base this minute.

the politics in washington up and driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could of gone into renewable ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america would be part of a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got stuck in the coal business which it up liberated by the gas business which is a chilling dodgy for a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution in some. united states can always. use and it's tax on other countries. economic sanctions or are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries a true talking about. and

there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the head. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be. there's a myth that hollywood was this great liberal out because when the liberals had it there was not really any discussion of. class war in america of who's controlling america there was the it was soft liberal social issues like gay.

rights a civil rights but remember not too early only kind of after martin luther king smashed them in the face and they couldn't ignore him at the selma march in bloody sunday but you so you have basically social liberalism you know women's rights but again it's soft stuff soft liberalism while hollywood tends toward liberality on social issues it's war films really question the hero was or benevolent intentions of american troop deployments since world war two my father was in that war. and he hated these warm bodies because of the glorification sit there leaving out the real horror show and because of that you know he couldn't stand watching these glorification of the of the second world war i really hope you understand how impossible it was to make platoon i mean it was written in one nine hundred seventy six it was not made to eighty six i was turned down dozens of times it was very

hurtful and to be rejected people would say it's a great script it did help my reputation as a writer but no one would make it because it was too depressing they said but i said what's depressing about the truth you've got a truth that should be in the movies but that i mean that's a conflict that goes to the heart of hollywood i mean hollywood was never based on telling the truth you can't lose money being american lone survivor he carried chuck norris metamorph into mark walberg and lone survivor and he kills how many i mean there's i forgot seven americans get killed for every american they take down twenty or thirty taliban of course it's the same thing in blackhawk down every american who goes gets killed in that battle check it out has to kill like i think thirty or forty dark skinned people it's just amazingly that's the way it has to be there's kind of a biblical commandment that says one dead american equals thirty forty four and marcus luttrell's lone survivor certainly glorify the american war machines ability

to fight off overwhelming enemy odds drawing more upon the mythology of john wayne's green berets than reality the green berets was made during the vietnam war with the full cooperation of the pentagon and president lyndon johnson likewise lone survivor was made during the afghan war with pentagon support killed when it depicted navy seals fending off hundreds of taliban and killing dozens in a valiant alamo like last stand but the after action report that day only acknowledged up to thirty taliban being present and no reports of enemy casualties . even the afghani man who saved the child's life denounced the book but really what we're talking about is the military having a massive role within within hollywood in terms of manipulating script content we found that always to be interesting to us was not that there was a large number of these products that were affected but the previous scholarship that everyone knew all journalists everybody assyrians that there were just

a few hundred of these things like that but we found using pretty been from a connect request that there actually if you thousand got so obviously been what you might call a cover up or at least some kind of sort of soft cover up you may put it to make it look like this isn't such a great issue of censorship but it but it is early on in my career when i sent the platoon script to get some pentagon help and philippines they wrote back that we had to really rethink vietnam having been there as a front line soldier of course that i objected to all their objections and not only that they put out an order not an order as much as a desist kind of memorandum to their commanders saying that the troops should not cooperate with this movie same thing happened to us on board the fourth of july so i was doing a t.v. pilot. and we were filming in kellogg northern california and it was written by gary devor we play these f.b.i. agents kind of thing and i get

a knock on the door i've gone through hair and makeup i've memorized my my lines for that day and i get a knock on the door and it's the second or third day g. and there and the guy says well stephen we've got these rewrites for you you know i was like well wait a second i've already memorized my my lines like why the rewrites you know. and he said well we talk to you talk to the f.b.i. and they want to make these adjustments. and that was my first ken of i don't know introduction to the to the fact that if you play and if the alphabet agencies or any agencies are used like f.b.i. certainly cia. anytime you do in a film in those letters are involved and maybe even in cases where the they don't use those letters but they use something similar. they have final approval on oh and what's being said and once you know what you're what you're sane steve shalyn is a canadian born actor who found success in hollywood films like

a river runs through it and the bodyguard but he alleges that when he tried to launch his own production company in canada called lion's gate his endeavor was sabotaged. to this day he does not profess to know the who or why behind i had my own bad experience i was starting a production company and it was stolen from me my children were threatened kidnapped i ended up basically losing everything. including a nice house in the hollywood sign a farm up here in canada and i was i was on the run being tracked and followed and i was pretty undone by the whole experience when i went into a bar in beverly hills one night and i ran in to get rid of war and gary was friendly as usual he steve are you doing you know. you wouldn't believe this and i gave him like the mini version of what i'd gone through and what was kind of great is gary didn't look at me like i was nuts even discount what i was saying he just

basically agreed with with me and said yeah well they can they can do that if they want it also told me about a project he was working on that had to do with the the war in panama and he was joe of all gene stuff or writing about stuff and that you know his buddies in the cia were not happy and this is twenty years ago and we know a lot of this now we did not then and what this was about was the many in cartel sending huge amounts of cocaine into the united states and the government being aware of it and not taking the stand against it that they might have. and that there was a tremendous amount of money from the methane cartel transferring this cocaine into our country that went under. the guise of a of a business deal i guess and was put into panamanian banks while noriega was in power there with us and the money was laundered and was spent on.

insurgency groups nicaragua and nieces all of the things that we now actually know are pretty true but then there was none of this known and poor reasons. that i was unaware of at the time gary was aware of all of these things gary doer was a successful screenwriter known for his films like the dogs of war and raw deal as well as his bizarre disappearance it was nineteen ninety seven he was on his way back to turn a script into the studio that he was going to direct and it was actually the only time that the finished script the computer all of the research was in place it was in his car and he disappeared on his way back to members of the cia and the n.s.a. appeared in my home within the first four or five days. and many other

unusual things started happening i realized that perhaps it was not a typical crime it only aims in one direction it aims in the direction that this person was definitely working with the intelligence community they said don't you believe he's dead it's been over a year and i said no if you want me to believe he's dead give me a body nine days later i was given a body i was awakened at seven in the morning it was chased brandon calling me from langley saying they found the car they found they found the car with the body . and there was three hour time difference of course between new york and l.a. and ten o'clock they called me from the sheriff's department in l.a. to tell me they found the car well they found. a year later or whatever in his truck. the skeletal remains. were supposedly thrown in the back of

a truck so i guess that was sending a message to anybody that if you go rogue or if you go you know off the ranch is to say whatever and you're up against the cia and what their plans are then this is what we're going to do and i guess. it's really indicative of you know i mean that's his tool right it's intense the mystery of gary divorce fate may linger as long as that of j.f.k. but it is intriguing that divorce disappearance came in one thousand nine hundred seventy years after the cia established its first official hollywood liaison office it may have been merely symbolic but it seemed the coming decade of the two thousand and one the patriot act and a u.s. led global war with the american. still the us government did not trust its citizens to think critically for themselves and more importantly crises would have to unfold on the big screen where the heroes of the american intelligence services and military would inevitably fight to defend global freedom but behind the lie we

must ask ourselves how much we swallow the pill of propaganda evolved from psychological warfare a phrase derived from nazi germany's. worldview. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies move to mean to people the sales will simple song alone even some company guess will else with oh they can find private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us the local. guys who got to do well on the pier might be cool but

been pieces of us to quote them out. of more use of the lift bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than war it's about to hurt and to redistribute. all it was to this. date downwards the will nor will. the politics in washington not been driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could have gone into renewables ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying jobs in america would be part of a growing world beating industry because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got stuck in the coal business which it up liberated by the gas business which is a trillion dodgy and for a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by the chinese led revolution

in song. united states can see. it's news and it's tax on other countries. economic sanctions are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries a true talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. we have a responsibility for the head. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be.

in twenty forty you know bloody revolution two to clear the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know or here i mean your list put me in the. school in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took part is invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. political. but.

i think. there are a lot of. the gaza israeli border is braced for more violence after fifty nine palestinians were killed during protests against the relocation of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. the u.s. moves box outcry across the globe with several well. leaders and even some of israel's traditional allies are expressing furious condemnation. for. the u.s. soldiers to objects himself to go waterboarding in support of the controversial nominee for the new head of the cia claiming the brutal interrogation technique does not amount to torture. and with north and south korea sets of

talks the u.s. pledges prosperity in return for nuclear disarmament we look at america's track record of carrot and stick diplomacy. it's ten am here in the russian capital and you're watching r.t. international with me good to have you where there's this hour. fifty nine people have been killed and over two thousand more injured during clashes between palestinian protesters and israeli security forces monday was the most violent day in years as huge rallies took place against the relocation of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and other potential flashpoint it's also seventy years since the creation of israel known as nakba or catastrophe to the palestinians.

was. a lot of. small birds. thank you. that was it we extend a hand in friendship to israel the power city that enjoy all of their neighbors made their we need. the we. we pray for the peace of jerusalem. the hour. the palestinians have called for

a national day of mourning today the palestinian government is calling on the international community for immediate international intervention it has to end yesterday's clashes to quote a terrible massacre at the same time we are hearing a charge being leveled against the israeli army for using to quote excessive force against protesters now these are a defense forces has shocked that disputing this saying that it was behaving in self-defense in the way that any country would to protect its sovereign borders of course the trigger for the latest round of violence was the american moving off their embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and want inside this building there were pictures all loft and jubilation outside not only in gaza but just across the road where i was positioned they were confrontations and a lot of anger against the embassy move take a look. here though is that this. issued by the u.s. administration to relocate their embassy in the heart of the contested city in the

heart of the city for thirty five to forty percent of its residents living under occupation most of them are not citizens of any state in the night of basic rights we're here because we oppose crimes and to see who we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and if it is not a game after meant to be any strain upon amine terry and while what it what do you think about the whole incident we are. in a demonstration which has been licensed by those in a police but immediately after we arrived they attacked us attacked a member of the knesset just because we had it been to the festina and for them and then they attacked us and pushed us to the back we are here to see that jerusalem east is ok if i did it today it could be the capital of the state upon this kind of . fact right out of the heart of the firefight upcoming tell dad i'm sure it is for real i don't think.

now unfortunately we do expect the casualty count to further climb today as thousands of palestinians are expected to mark that day which means the day of catastrophe it is the same day that israelis call the day of independence and it harkens back to nine hundred forty eight when the state of israel was established but for palestinians it marks the beginning of the mass forced exodus the israeli army and israeli police on high alert here in jerusalem and on the borders throughout the west bank we expect clashes to erupt after midday prayers the casualty figure as it stands is at one hundred and three palestinians who have been killed over the past six weeks since the great march of the turn rallies were called for those readings culminate in today's nakba commemorations protests against the american embassy being relocated to jerusalem have been held in the

u.s. itself crowds marched in washington decrying donald trump's decision rallies have also been held in several other cities countries protesters burned u.s. and israeli flags in support of the palestinians but also expressed anger at the violence on the gaza border following monday's events turkey recalled its ambassador to israel and the u.s. in protest. american religion. we think that the moving of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem was an unfortunate decision we are rejecting once again this decision which violates international law which is against un resolutions with its latest lot of us is chosen to be a part of the problem not the solution couldn't has lost its mediator in the middle east peace process we don't agree with the decision of the us to to move their embassy we continue to think that playing the wrong color at the wrong time.

and that the move could make peace process and believe the least even more difficult or ethically attention across the middle is going to turn you'll. believe that the current us president does not have the ability to differentiate and judge about the long term consequences of his actions. we asked our guests for their views on america's stance on jerusalem. only here in israel some people around us want us to expose tolerance to those who declare that they want to kill us who declare that they want to get into israel by booby traps by clutching caused by high falls poor that they're just you know the regional hamlet is very aware that what is or is exactly on. the narrator on a sunday or later in that has only two for for eleven years you are the one who initiated this you initiated this you thought you brought the well the only your

start up steadily is what policy has brought to the world you tell me you have anything resides racism schiffman and. a lot of and not anything if you define greater israel as the area between the river jordan of the mediterranean sea the area under effective israeli control jews are now a small minority and that population and the more of a minority they become the more undemocratic. and racist israel becomes there are zero israeli injuries zero israeli casualties over two thousand palestinians injured over fifty seven palestinians killed including i'll share you know how magic arabs are about hell after years of what do all of these protests. all of these are owed tests in gaza were happening on gaza

and saw oil inside the area occupied by israel in one nine hundred sixty seven israel use disproportionate force in an illegal manner killing scores of palestinians and wounding thousands literally thousands more but you know how mosses not my favorite organization. so you know hamas is a political impact corrupt group which has completely failed to exploit israel's growth growth contradictions and to use them against the increasingly race a state where hamas has consistently by attacking. jews quiet jews and therefore forcing making sure that israelis will burn together all the more tightly against what they see as an external threat i have something to

tell you we want to establish a palestinian state in the future the two state solution is the international solution it's not the palestinian solution alone i do believe still that there is a chance for this solution but it will take courage and it will take resolve from the international community to step up. a u.s. special forces soldier has subjected himself to waterboarding to try and show that it's not a form of torture tim kennedy posted a facebook video of being mocked drowned and then explained his main reason for doing it magically having it changed does this look like torture to you guys it doesn't look like torture to be either three so we're doing this at a big. hero is ready for. the reportedly the director the cia. the nominee for the position of cia director mentions there has been widely criticized after allegations of her involvement in enhanced interrogation

techniques which included waterboarding human rights advocates have been urging u.s. senators to vote against her appointment however president trump who hand-picked gina haskell for the job has openly backed the torture tactic waterboarding has been used by the cia despite being considered torture under international law it can cause serious damage to internal organs or death if the process is prolonged we discussed the waterboarding video with a former guantanamo detainee who says it doesn't matter what one soldier thinks it still amounts to torture. many people can withstand different types of torture for example i know it individual might be able to bear the pain of having it on twisted or having that pain and help hold out compared to others who can't but it's not based on the individual's ability to be able to take that torture or not it's according to the definition of the law international more interesting to just

recently the two people captured by the syrian defense forces who are alleged to be water but who want to audit captives their american captives for isis also water on it that. they have to so here the americans are saying that these two individuals that have committed war crimes which include waterboarding so this kind of notion of it isn't torture it's only torture when we say it is when it affects us it's complete hypocrisy and it's complete and it opposes more importantly international law which which was torture completely it said is that not only is physical torture for those so a psychological part of the use or to force confessions out of peoples. north korea has reportedly started to fulfill its promises on nuclear disarmament talks between the north and south are expected on wednesday but with donald trump withdrawing

from the nuclear disarmament deal with every run there are fears washington will resonate on its promises my dad takes up the story. we all know what carrot and stick diplomacy is but these these goes beyond that way beyond there will get private capital that comes in north korea is desperately in need of energy support electricity for their people we can deliver that and as i said earlier this week we can create conditions for real economic prosperity for the north korean people that will rival that of the south talk about extremes not so long ago people were seriously talking about nuclear war those with a penchant for the dramatic really made the best of the opportunity north korea best not make it work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never see well north koreans

must be sighing in relief instead of fire and fury they're now getting the carrot will they have to do is give up nukes nice let's just hope they have short memories so i think iran is on notice and they are going to have to make a choice are they willing to go down the path which i think ultimately will lead to greater prosperity and security for iran giving up. the acquisition of nuclear weapons or will they continue down a path that is going to lead to confrontation or quit the radians gave up on nukes dismantle their program complied absolutely with every requirement in the end it didn't matter they gave up nukes and then america took back the whole perspire ity thing we'll see how we do with the rand probably we want to very well with them

but that's ok too they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life when life gives you lemons make lemonade so long as trump doesn't take the lemons too regardless perhaps this time things will be different iran was a one off right wrong i am pleased that the united states and north korea yesterday reached agreement this agreement is good for the united states good for our allies and good for the safety of the entire world in one nine hundred ninety four bill clinton made a deal with north korea north korea could tale's its nuclear program and the us builds two nuclear reactors for it to compensate energy loss gives it hard for million tons of fuel per year and normalize relations they never built the nuclear reactors they never sent any fuel and they never signed an official peace agreement

you're seeing a pattern here right perspire it seems to be the carrot except what no one seems the realizes it's dangling not for tasting that just life they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life. well it's going to be a grand opening ceremony for russians longest which later today will bring you all the details after this short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful it's very critical time to sit down and talk.

with the whole existence to do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president one should. want to. have two going to be pros this is what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters about how. this should. welcome back a shia cleric with strong anti-american views looks on course to become the most powerful figure in iraqi politics mactire the outsiders coalition is sweeping to

victory in the parliamentary election and he is known as being an outspoken critic of the u.s. military presence in iraq and an opponent to iran he even led to revolt against american forces after their two thousand and three invasion while washington called shia militia loyal to solder the biggest threat to iraq's security some iraqis support for his religious beliefs while others see him as a symbol of resistance against the u.s. . winning in the parliamentary elections would effectively put as kinglake a giving him a huge influence in choosing the next prime minister of iraq a low gives the political blocs ninety days to form a parliamentary majority and select their leader middle east experts about all necessary told as the election result could have a major impact on iraq in relations with the us. and his movement

since two thousand and three there was the iraqi educational there's a sense among the iraqis especially those on the subways and song that a lot of conflict the reason including ice is its own was mostly due to the u.s. a few years ago asian and us dollars for storage for such acts in school so they are against the influence of the presence of u.s. troops and and advise it and so on with iraq because they think they are part of the problem rather than solution there might be some sort of a conflict of disagreement between the government and the united states on what that and how the united states can keep some sort of present in iraq and so on so the u.s. will have much more difficult times ahead dealing with this becoming government than with about the an amount of people. and obsession in the us media is making it difficult to find variety in your daily news on t.v. caleb maupin now looks at how donald trump has been keeping the mainstream media

from to slide. there is no shortage of trump bashing in american media and unsurprisingly americans are pretty sick of it some media personalities have even come forward and stated the obvious we in the media are essentially all trumped all the time and the upshot is that we risk not covering a lot of really important things at home and around the world and what about the wave of teachers strikes arizona oklahoma west virginia this is a historic shake up in the american educational system but the american media blinked and didn't notice i didn't see her to be anything in the paper media about this on any of the networks even some of the networks that we watch. you know russia turn the channel russia russia russia russia and how about poverty thirteen percent of americans live below the poverty line homelessness is on the rise having increased for the first time since the great recession but the media doesn't put much attention onto that issue either.

we see an average of seven to eight hundred people every single day. congress has reached an agreement on tax legislation that will deliver more jobs higher wages and massive tax relief. and a middle of the poverty some americans are doing pretty well now the media likes to focus on one particular rich guy who happens to live in the white house but what about the rest of the american one percent who are shaping the laws and controlling newsrooms how often is a.b.c. c.b.s. or n.b.c. discussed the role of the koch brothers and not the billionaires play increasing the political system which allows the rich and powerful to significantly control elections and the legislative process in congress sadly the aunts to these.

questions is almost never polls show that americans have a lot of real fears these days they're worried about health care education economic growth and jobs however the media seems to focus their outrage only on a man with a bad toupee was busy ranting on twitter this is how michelle wolf the comedian put it at the white house correspondents dinner. what no one in this room ones to admit is that trump has helped all of you he couldn't sell steaks or vied or water or college or ties or air. but he has helped a year he's helped you sell your papers and your books in your t.v. media like almost everything else in the land of the free is a business profits keep rolling in while americans lose it will happen our see new york. road bridge that connects mainland russia to the crimean

peninsula is set to open for traffic six months ahead of said once and service it will reduce the region's reliance on c. and transport and allow motorists to visit the area which is a popular some a destination for russians president putin is expected to open what will be russia's longest bridge later on tuesday.

ok well those are how you choose day morning headlines are looking this hour we'll be back at the top of the hour with only latest we'll see that. you. have a full life. was a was. i.

think. the way that. i. did here. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply. back from private companies who hear it interviewed by a little sample song all alone events i'm going to guess will elsewhere though they invite private companies to take over the utilities many by the bell of drop off alexa list you guys you got to be well on the going to go. by ben this is a map of us they got them out. of or you remember the left bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right over access to water is about water but it's also over much more than war it's about the hurt and the redistribution of our woes to girls and their debt down wars the war and all.

about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself in taking your last bang turn. your attitude up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was a cave still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i 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 one difference i speak to now because there are no other takers. to claim that

mainstream media has met its maker. or this is the cause or it for you heard that women are so disgusted with men lately that more and more other having sex with fish don't trust me look this up it's incredible anyway let's move on stacy. actually yeah we're going to be talking about bill kristol i don't know if you're talking about him but he kind of looks like a fish to me but let's see first we're going to talk about we're going to talk this whole episode by the way i'm going to stay here for both halves and that is because

we're going to talk about some fracking and first i want to show you know qualify to the audience full and fair disclosure we our show is broadcast on our russian network so one should assume russian trolls post election strategy disrupt florida and other u.s. energy pipelines oh i got i'm going to special power paper i'll write a key phrases which i'm going to have some fun with over on this just to let people know so the first one is russian trolls ok as most russians are cruel. well you know the best way for television is actually to hold it up to the camera and you write it down first so i hope bot can she write it down like up here now. ok so a three billion dollar sable trail pipeline designed to carry natural gas to the state of florida from alabama there were some protests against the december twenty sixth thing and mcclatchy news has kind of looked into the d.n.i.

report and determined that actually it was because r t covered that and they mention r t but because there were some russian trolls they say on twitter that inflamed the protests the florida people themselves have no agency they themselves couldn't possibly ever think that well i don't want to pipeline. and outside my house no forget that obviously stupid people like dog floridians don't have agency just look at the news any all the news of the weird comes from florida but russia's hidden hand in the florida pipeline protests was extensive according to sources familiar with the operations at least eight russian accounts most tied to the farm known as the internet research agency sent at least sixteen social media messages excoriating the savile trail pipeline or retreating messages from one of its most prominent opponents

a frequent guest on r t the tweets were sent to a total of more than forty thousand followers as well as anyone else who saw them via hashtags this is real dr evil stuff max we must uncover this story so that by the way the prominent opponent of the pipeline through florida was tim kane over who is a progressive democrat what was a progressive democrat who ran against. debbie wasserman schultz who is you know basically hillary clinton's body and neo con neo conservative neo liberal sort of democrat and the way so the progressive democrat they're all russian bots are right well the theme of the merging here as it relates to the energy industry yes ok this is an underlying theme yes that you're going to be exploring as i understand it and of course the energy industry in america is possibly the most corrupt of all industries and so they need this type of media manipulation and scapegoating to

justify two very important facts that they're responsible for one is in collusion with wall street in the financing of their industry they've created the biggest wealth and income gap in the history of the world and bigger than the robber barons and opiate addicts from coast to coast and to environmental whole accost would. they don't want to point that out the extra now it is of these energy companies and in our cancer cells thank you energy company i want to point that out so there's got to be an existential threat it's got to be coming from somewhere yes so i want to read this final paragraph here in order to set up our headlines we're going to cover because according to member consider this this is mcclatchy they've won pulitzers in there like illegitimate you know a legitimate news source here so you must abide by their what they say the social media propaganda was part of a broad kremlin campaign to disrupt the booming american energy industry which

seemingly overnight has emerged as a threat to russia's global dominance u.s. authorities say notice that phrase they often use in the progress of so-called progressive media whenever they talk about these so-called russian bots and trolls they always say u.s. authorities say even though this statement this assertion is easily any journalist could say it could go investigate use google research the stuff and make their own determination they get out of. having to basically sully their own reputation this is higher price i think that i thort him because this is what i was remembering the us authorities say phrase yes that's the key phrase yes so mcclatchy newspapers a set of setting out a journalist to go discover the truth and do journalism they write as boilerplate shipped to them from the pentagon or from exxon and they cover it by saying u.s.

authorities say yes not that they're journalists say now that we have any journalist that they were not propaganda meisters no us authorities say therefore we don't question it that's not journalism by the way and that is by definition propaganda propaganda mcclatchy newspapers you cop to be a propagandist continue please go look at that go use google and search for yourself they'll say like us authorities say r t supported trump. u.s. authorities say they all the material is fully available freely available on you tube you can go watch all the hours of footage leading up to the us elections and see whether or not yourself you can determine that is true though nobody nobody ever challenges that really shows is a good year to forget a lazy then you're just a shoot marilyn trans fats and worry about what jenna tell you is appropriate for your completely and transitioning to something that maybe you'll regret in five minutes just look at the facts ok so we're going to look at some stories because

you and i have been covering fracking for a long time but we've been covering it because we cover markets finance and scandal we cover finance the stupidity of financing something that loses money and we're going to cover some of those from c.m. d.c. and bloomberg news articles from there and only in the past month these articles have come out we've also covered it because we do we have a long history here r t of b.b.c. world and al-jazeera covering basically peak oil and also renewables the emergence of renewables so fossil fuels squeezed by a plunge in cost of renewables b n f says as bloomberg new energy finance the economics of generating electricity from fossil fuels are deteriorating rapidly as renewable energy technology plunges and costs that's the conclusion of bloomberg new energy finance report on the level lies cost of energy a measure that takes into account the expenses from buying equipment servicing debt and operating power plants using each technology in most places wind and solar will

work cheaper than coal by twenty twenty three according to the research they have found and also we're going to go over the details but just to show you the sheer scale of the drop in the past year or two in the price of solar technology solar provision of electronics electricity and power and a lot of it has to do with china and batteries and batteries again from china which is ironic because like a lot of this whole russia gate stuff the the the theory that. if you care about the environment or if you care about fracking and we've always mostly covered it on a financial how stupid financial investment is and that you know if you're going to invest as a government you would better off investing in solar and wind and all and clean technologies renewable technologies i just. it's just the smart choice that's just

like obvious right so that right now a lot of the claims that it's russian trolls are russian so that somehow russia which by the way produces natural gas and oil doesn't need to frack it's just like puts a straw on it comes out so it's so absurd but a lot of it comes from bill kristol scoop hamilton sixty eight and bill kristol by the way is the co-founder of policy for the new american century which he presented to bill clinton's last year in office he tried to get bill clinton to invade iraq and part of it well they lay it out in their own words go read it you can download it just go to google policy for a new american century and look at their report that they put out rumsfeld cheney bill kristol and they said part of the reason why they needed they said to invade iraq was to control the oil reserves so that china didn't get them so it's quite ironic that china is putting all of this this whole oil and carbon base industry

out of business by just driving down the cost of solar wind and other renewable energy technology so bill kristol is so wrong about the project for a new american century and how the energy industry would develop over the following fifty years yes and completely missed the fact that renewables and solar energy costs would plummet down the a some part of curve toward zero the same thing you see in the microchip industry in the bandwidth industry in the technology industries big becoming silicon valley eyes and he's so powerful and he's so embarrassed that his way of relieving himself of the embarrassment of being probably the biggest idiot that's walked the face of the earth the past fifty years is a start a war with russia and send as many young kids there to die as possible so that i don't i don't i think it is not i don't think it's that i think it's just he's putting tin foil on the six spreading conspiracy theories in order to confuse and create chaos and people's understanding of the world around them so i think he wants people to forget it goes into the memory hole the memory hole help. by creating all sorts of chaos and and conspiracy but this is more than just

gaslighting it's more than just bill kristol acting like the movie gaslight is a way because i don't know where in their drawers are they get confused he's actually starting my what i want to really talk about how stupid fracking is based on just the stupid economics and here we're going to go you mentioned lithium ion batteries so when you factor in the cost of why renewables are so much cheaper lithium ion batteries have enjoyed a seventy nine percent drop in cost since twenty ten making the idea of storing energy a possibility for coming years the price per megawatt hour for generating for wind farms built on land fell eighteen percent in just the first half of twenty eighteen and we're not even at the first end of the first half to fifty five dollars while photovoltaics dropped eighteen percent to seventy dollars so where already the costs are plummeting we have some more in the second half about how much the costs are plummeting and what those sort of plummeting costs do to the existing

infrastructure grid and the sunk costs into hugely expensive nuclear energy products projects coal and the debt to service all that so we're going to talk about that a lot of buckminster fuller you know thirty forty years ago should said that earth uses less than one percent of the energy it gets every single day from the sun ok now forty years later finally harvesting that energy and it was as predictable as night follows day and anyone who banked their future on fossil fuels is going to get their head handed to them because they're. you know biased toward a political financial wall street centric model that promotes war and wealth in ink and quality gaps well in the second half i have a whole bunch more data and we're going to look at the fracking the cost of all those bonds those junk bonds that we have financed and also some more of the data of actually what reduced falling prices does to the existing grid that bill kristol loves and again i want to say listen to bill kristol he's your guy like the guy you

know he listen to his. like support of what u.s. authorities say and what the facts and data might say you do your own research as exactly so let's get more more more into this after the break don't go away stay right there. seem wrong but. just don't. let me. get to shape out just days after. and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. the . i've been saying the

numbers mean something they matter to us as over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per cent get first shot and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one just which shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. the united states has always had the right tools to use and it's a tax on other countries. economic sanctions are are

often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries attorney talking about. and there just to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country because. we have a responsibility for the home. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be chaos. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. you guys i know you are nervous is. and the huge amount of pressure you have to put me in the center of the pole with

you and the great the great the good 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 the team for the two thousand and thirteen world cup in russia. this special one was also appreciate me to just to review the aussie team's latest edition to make it up as we go. welcome back to the report on mascot or states air we are continuing our conversation about fracking energy data. ok we're continuing our story about fracking and i must reiterate that bill kristol who used to be much maligned

by the likes of memphis and d.c. now is part of the resistance and the democrats love him and embrace him so if you're a partisan patriotic american you must listen to a bill kristol says a bill kristol says that fracking any. sort of negative thoughts you have about fracking are only planted there by the likes of kai's report not the facts not the data not the reality of the situation on the ground we're never going to talk about any of the environmental or health consequences you can google that and do your own research but here is a story from c.m. b.c. from may third two thousand and eighteen just a few weeks ago or oil demand and prices set to drop dramatically as new technologies take hold so they point out that fracking has made the u.s. the number one energy producer in the world at the moment but they say one major result of the adoption of this new technology and the dramatic drop in gas prices

it has produced is the hollowing out of the u.s. coal industry reduced from a thirty five billion dollar industry in just twenty eleven to a three billion dollar industry in twenty seventeen this has just wiped out the coal industry now the likes of bill kristol and hamilton sixty it will say that's probably a russian operation that putin destroyed the coal industry and russia and trump did run on a campaign to basically get coal jobs back but what happened was fracking destroyed all those jobs in west virginia and kentucky it was fracking and natural gas prices which drove down the price of natural gas production for electricity that drove down the been literally did obliterated just destroyed by ninety percent the coal industry as you're going to get into here the substitution of gas for coal was. some very dodgy finances make a moment yes we're going to get into that but i want to show what the same

economics now so natural gas destroyed coal what is going to destroy the natural gas production right now its natural gas and in order to get that natural gas and keep that natural gas prices low in america you've got to have a lot of fracking we're not going to go into the environmental health cost of that we're just going to look at the actual data what's going to happen to natural gas so using this dramatic shift as an example we can see the role cost please and drive in the direction of the energy industry member is cost you know most businesses look at cost they don't look at geopolitics they don't look at like oh i'm a republican or a democrat and i have to show my partisan support and they're not going to respond to russian trolls on twitter they're going to look at their cost businesses look at their cost so consider now that solar energy which has become steadily more competitive as its scale has grown has gone from producing electric power at one hundred seventy nine dollars per megawatt hour in two thousand and nine to fifty

dollars per megawatt hour and twenty seventeen kids another huge drop so that it's forecasted to continue to drop like that so once it becomes cheaper to provide electricity and now you have those lithium ion batteries also providing giving electric power grids the ability to store this electricity cheaply where that hasn't been the case until just recently just this year. it's going to obliterate the need for natural gas whatever you want to say if you want to blame it on russian trolls that's going to be the reason why it's happened but the fact is most businesses do not hang out all day on twitter they just look at their balance sheet and their balance sheet is going to say well how my going to compete with a solar plant electric electric power outfit right down the road that is able to bribe electricity at a fraction of the cost. compared to what i can write so the fractures in the natural gas obliterated the coal industry it destroyed it it killed it destroyed it

no one says that on the campaign trail nobody says that on amazon b c and they certainly won't say it on fox but that is what killed the coal industry solar a new balls are in the going to kill the fracking industry ironically to bill kristol it was china that caused that to happen they're the ones i drove down this price because they pour billions of dollars into research they have that many faction capacity they drove down the cost of these full photovoltaics cells so they're the ones i drove down the cost so hugely about ninety percent remember under the obama administration solar basically providers here in the united states for seeking some government funds and subsidies in order to compete with china ok so there's there's china leading the way here so to go back to a few years before that politically speaking had the politics in washington not been driven by the fossil fuel energy lobbyist they could have gone into renewables ten twenty years earlier and those jobs would be in place generating good paying

jobs in america would be part of a growing world beating industry but because they kowtow to those lobbyist they got stuck in the coal business which it up liberated by the gas business which is extremely dodgy and for a lot of reasons and now it's going to be obliterated by a chinese led revolution in solar and yes and wind so here comes you know it's not just china it's also denmark and sweden and you know scandinavia other countries in europe have have basically led the way on this at this rate solar energy has already undercut gas which cost sixty dollars per megawatt hour so members fifty dollars for solar coal is one hundred two dollars per megawatt hour and nuclear energy is one hundred forty eight dollars per megawatt hour in cost of course france has always the most expensive they always go to the most expensive they have the finest in the finest wine the finest cheese and the finest cost. for electricity the finest atomic energy plants in europe are in for a lot from if they run on champagne they're cool but. so similar strides have been

made in harnessing wind energy sources with onshore wind costing forty dollars per megawatt hour again below the cost of gas which is sixty dollars an offshore wind sources and twenty seven thousand were priced at sixty dollars but again you know that lobbyist in the fossil fuel industry forest propaganda machine in america to scapegoat a foreign power to the gentleman is their ignorance when it comes to generating good high paying renewable energy jobs and it was obvious to everyone who was writing in for their face but there are so corrupt as to craddick and such a cackle stocker see that they refuse to acknowledge the facts before their face well building pipelines like you know the pipeline going to the dakotas again that's a russian troll operation that's what they say so if you want to listen to that listen to them that's your prerogative to not do your own research and just be a patriot and listen to bill kristol but the fact is tar sands is what's coming

through those dakota pipelines it's coming from canada which is all the stuff they've mentioned that that's going to be totally obliterated that's like why you're spending all this time and money for boondoggles that will be like by the time it's done being built. all the cars all the economics have just like obliterated the case for that so i want to also turn to the cost so what the money pouring into this of course we have free money at the moment is there percent interest rates and that makes it like a little bit easier to just basically it is zero percent interest rates you have pension funds that need a yield at any cost because they have you know escalating costs as baby boomers retire so they're looking for any junk bonds they can buy boondoggles tend to be the junkies to fall so you're going to go for a boondoggle right well first of all from wall street journal december twenty seventeen wall street tells fractures just. top counting barrels and start making profits the shale oil revolution produces a lot of oil but not enough upside for investors twelve major shareholders and us

shell oil and gas producers met this september in a midtown manhattan highrise with a view of time square to discuss a common goal of getting those trackers to make money for a change now we have said this and guys report for years that they lose money on every single barrel and again bill kristol says that is propaganda and that is not true here these twelve major shareholders have obviously fallen to russian propaganda because they also believe that they're not making a profit they are obviously wrong if if if bill kristol is right these guys are wrong they are in fact making a profit they have been making a profit they're just not reading their balance sheet correctly think us is two hundred dollars to make a barrel but we only make you know fifty cents that must be russian bought must be attacking us down here in texas that's. because they're not making no money it's like the beverly hillbillies in reverse like bill kristol shoot that some crude up to the ground bubble and propaganda by all that is by is well and next

thing you know bill's a millionaire is washington is the place to go spew his toxic waste propaganda the to and fro ok let's turn to some more articles about the bond wastage of money actually thrown at trackers so how wall street enabled the fracking revolution that is losing billions the us shale industry hailed as a revolution has burned through a quarter of a trillion dollars more than it has brought in over the last decade it has been a money losing endeavor of epic proportions even when it was at one hundred ten dollars the cost has since they are becoming more efficient and they are able to produce at a cheaper price per barrel but still they're not making any profit and it takes more energy in comes and the average lifespan of a fracking field it doesn't last long enough to pay off the debt so it's a money loser that was. this is from day one so why does it keep up why did the best risk you pouring money into it well shell oil companies are creatures of the

capital markets and twenty seventeen legendary hedge fund manager jim cheney has referred to shale oil companies as creatures of the capital markets meaning that without wall street money they would not exist chane us is also on record as shorting the stock of heavily leveraged shale oil giant continental resources because the company can't even make enough money to pay interest on the loans so this is the continental resources by the way if you're a patriot who loves hamilton sixty eight love what u.s. authorities say about this just being russian propaganda you can go buy some bonds from continental resources you can buy their shares harold hamm wasa billion dollars he had to pay to his life he only is eighteen billion dollars left he's the c.e.o. he's increases pay by thirty eight percent last year you can go support him by buying his shares buying given one of those no crystal can prove that he own shares in these junk bonds issued just. a small fee but listen listen this is what continental resources one of the biggest players harold him multiple times billionaire what hit how this company operates as

a fracking company he pushes for legislation pro fracking he probably helps finance hamilton succeed and we don't know because nobody's allowed to know other than what bill kristol who is actually behind it well in twenty seventeen continental spent two hundred ninety four million dollars on interest expenses which is approximately one hundred fifty five percent of his twenty seventeen adjusted net income generation we can't even pay the interest on your credit cards you are broke well you know the same thing is coming to the american economy as a whole i mean there's got twenty trillion dollars and on the books debt and the interest costs are rising exponentially and pretty soon it'll be just like a junk bond america's going to be triple c. rated wall street has been j.p. morgan by the way is the biggest underwriter of these junk bonds to the fracking industry but a question to ask is who who are they you know who's the who's paying for it you know obvious. clearly the fracking industry is receiving the money from these battens. morgans not giving them the money at somebody else and is most likely your

pension fund so if you're a patriot who loves bill kristol don't worry like you're already invested in these fracking industries and hopefully you know the fact that saudi arabia is now building a two hundred gigawatt two hundred billion dollar solar farm the biggest in the world well you know maybe they know a little bit more about the oil industry than bill kristol and that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max keiser and stacy herbert try to catch some twitter it's kaiser report if you want to telegram it's kaiser report until next time bio. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you were yourself and taken your last wrong turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry.

so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each time. but then my feelings started to change you talked about more like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question or are. secretly promised to never be like it's one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with this one to. speak to us there were no other takers. aimed at mainstream media has met its maker. across europe municipalities are taking their water supply back from private companies who feel a little. simple song alone even some company elsewhere they invite private companies to take over the utilities anybody tell us that all. of us you guys who

got the going to go. buy been pieces of us to quote them out. of where you found of the left bill brought up locals are ready to stand up for the basic human right of access to water it's about water but it's also over much more than water it's about the hurt and the redistribution of our west. and their debt downwards the one dollar. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second

per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember one one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only boom. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to crush the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just no lawyer i mean your list put the video and put him in the new bill is that idea spilling you know to the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. those who took part in this today over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these in that. goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. the

gaza israeli border is braced for more violence after fifty nine palestinians were killed during protests against the relocation of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem the. u.s. move sparked outcry across the globe with several world leaders and even some of israel's traditional allies expressing fury of condemnation. for you once told a subject himself to waterboarding in support of the controversial nominee for the new head of the cia claiming that the brutal interrogation technique does not

amount to torture. and with north and south korea set for talks the u.s. pledges prosperity in return for nuclear disarmament we look at america's track record of carrot and stick diplomacy. a very warm welcome you are watching r.t. international with me becky air and our top story this hour fifty nine people have been killed and over two thousand more injured during clashes between palestinian protesters and israeli security forces monday was the most violent day in years as huge rallies took place against the relocation of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and other potential flashpoint is also seventy years since the creation of israel known as nakba or catastrophe to palestinians.

i am. one of. his neighbors thank you. this is true. whatever the word we extend a hand in friendship to israel the palestinians and all of their neighbors may there be peace. we pray for the peace of jerusalem.

the palestinians have called for a national day of mourning today the palestinian government is calling on the international community for immediate international intervention it has to end yesterday's clashes to quote a terrible massacre at the same time we are hearing a charge being leveled against the israeli army for using to quote excessive force against protesters now the israeli defense forces has shot back to spew saying this saying that it was behaving in self-defense in the way that any country would to protect its sovereign borders of course the trigger for the latest round of violence was the american moving of their embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and want inside this building there were pictures all laughter and jubilation outside not only in gaza but just across the road where i was positioned they were confrontations and a lot of anger against the embassy move take a look. here though was the decision by the u.s.

administration to relocate their embassy in the heart of the contested city in the heart of the city for thirty five to forty percent of its residents living under occupation both are not citizens of any stated that i do basic rights they're here because we oppose trying them to see. we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and if it is not a game admittedly and it's really parliamentarian why what do you what do you think about the whole incident we are. in a demonstration which has been liason by those that are produced but immediately after we arrived they attacked us attacked a member of the knesset just because we had it been the first you know for god and then they attacked us and pushed us to the back we are here to see that jerusalem east is occupied territory it should be the capital of the state of palestine. was backed right i read that part of the hire for up to me developed out of the

literature of it before we went i don't. know. now unfortunately we do expect the casualty count to for the climb today as thousands of palestinians are expected to mark not by day which means the day of catastrophe it is the same day that israelis call the day of independence and it harkens back to nine hundred forty eight when the state of israel was established but for palestinians it marks the beginning of the mass forced exodus the israeli army and israeli police on high alert here in jerusalem and on the borders throughout the west bank we expect clashes to erupt after midday prayers the casualty figure as it stands is at one hundred and three palestinians who have been killed over the past six weeks since the great march of the turn rallies were called for those readings culminate in today's nakba commemorations protests against the american embassy being relocated to jerusalem have been held in the

u.s. itself crowds marched in washington decrying donald trump. rallies have also been held in several other countries protesters burned to u.s. and israeli flags in support of the palestinians they also express. the anger at the violence on the gaza border or following monday's events turkey recall that sat on passages to israel and the u.s. in protest. american religion didn't we think that the moving of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem is an unfortunate decision we are rejecting once again this decision which violates international law and which is against un resolutions with its latest step the thought of the us has chosen to be a part of the problem not a solution and has lost its mediator role in the middle east peace process we don't agree with the decision of the us to to move their embassy we continue to think that the playing the role card at the wrong time. japan is concerned that the move

could make the peace process in the middle east even more difficult or escalate tension across the middle east to go to a ten year old. believe that the current us president does not have the ability to differentiate and judge about the long term consequences of his actions. we asked our guests for that views on america's stance on jerusalem only here in israel some people around us want us to expose tolerance to those who declare that they want to kill us who declare that they want to get into israel by booby traps by clutch leak or by a guy falls poor that they're just you know at the regional high limit our other one is or is exactly on. the nerd or on a sunday or later in that has only two for for eleven years you are the one who initiated this you initiated this you but you know well the only your start

up is that always what policy is brought to the world you tell will you have anything resides raises and shipment and. a lot of and not anything if you define greater israel as the area between the river jordan of the mediterranean sea the area under effective israeli control jews are now a small minority and that population and the more of a minority they become the more undemocratic. and racist israel becomes there are zero israeli injuries zero israeli casualties over two thousand palestinians injured over fifty seven palestinians killed including l.o.l. how sorry how magic arabs are about how accurate israel what do all of these protests. all of these are odense in guys that were happening on gaza

and saw oil inside the area occupied by israel in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven israel used disproportionate force in an illegal manner the killing scores a palestinian and won't thousands literally thousands more but you know. hamas is not my favorite organization. so you know hamas is a political impact rock group which has completely failed to exploit israel's growth growth contradictions and to use them against the increasingly race a state where hamas has failed consistently by attacking. jews quiet jews and therefore forcing making sure that israelis will burn together all the more tightly against what they see as an external threat i have something to

tell you we want to establish a palestinian state in the future the two state solution is the international solution it's not the palestinian solution alone i do believe still that there is a chance for this solution but it will take courage and it will take resolve from the international community to step up. u.s. special forces soldier has subjected himself to waterboarding in support of trans controversial nominee for the next head of the cia tim kennedy posted a facebook video of being mocked drowned trying to show that it's not a form of torture however not everyone seems convinced convinced by the stunt imagine me having it changed does this look like torture to you guys it doesn't look like torture to be either three so we're doing this at a big. hero is ready for our that's been reportedly the director the cia.

i want every official who promotes waterboarding as not torture to be required to demonstrate the validity of their claim by being water boarded in the exact same fashion as it's practiced on prisoners this includes cheney. i was a navy pilot and went to the e.r. in one thousand eighty one waterboarding torture bonus round. why don't we do it to normal criminal suspects the nominee for cia director mentioned in the video and reaction to it has been widely criticized after allegations of her involvement in enhanced interrogation techniques which included waterboarding human rights advocates have been urging u.s. senators to vote against her appointment however president trump who hand-picked gina haskell for the job has openly backed the torture tactic waterboarding has been used by the cia despite being considered torture under international law it

can cause serious damage to internal organs or death if the process is prolonged but we discussed the waterboarding video with a former guantanamo detainee who says it doesn't matter what one soldier thinks it still amounts to torture. many people can withstand different types of torture for example i know if an individual might be able to bear the pain of having his on twisted or having that feeling they'll pull that compared to others who can't but it's not based on the individual's ability to be able to take that torture or not it's according to the definition of the law international more interesting to just recently the two people captured by the syrian defense forces who are alleged to be water but who want to audit captives their american captives for isis also water audit that. they have to so here the americans are saying that these two individuals that have committed war crimes which include

waterboarding so this kind of notion of it isn't torture it's only torture when we say it is when it affects us it's complete hypocrisy and it's complete and it opposes more importantly international law which which was torture completely it said is that not only is physical torture for those so a psychological part of the use or to force confessions out of. north korea has reportedly started to fulfill its promises on nuclear disarmament talks between the north and south are expected on wednesday but with donald trump withdrawing from the nuclear disarmament deal with iran there are fears that washington will win a gun it's promised it is now i gather you have takes up the story. we all know what carrot and stick diplomacy is but these these goes beyond that way beyond their will get private capital that comes in north korea is desperately in need of energy support electricity for their people we can deliver that and as i

said earlier this week we can create conditions for real economic prosperity for the north korean people that will rival that of the south talk about extremes not so long ago people were seriously talking about nuclear war those with a penchant for the dramatic really made the best of the opportunity north korea best not make it work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen well north koreans must be sighing in relief instead of fire and fury they're now getting the carrot will they have to do is give up nukes nice let's just hope they have short memories so i think iran is on notice and they are going to have to make a choice are they willing to go down the path which i think ultimately will lead to

greater prosperity and security for iran giving up. acquisition of nuclear weapons or will they continue down a path that is going to lead to confrontation or quit the radians gave up on nukes dismantle their program complied absolutely with every requirement in the end it didn't matter they gave up nukes and then america took back the whole perspire ity thing we'll see how we do with the rand probably we want to very well with them but that's ok too they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life when life gives you lemons make lemonade so long as trump doesn't take the lemons too regardless perhaps this time things will be different iran was a one off right wrong i am pleased that the united states and north korea yesterday

reached agreement this agreement is good for the united states good for our allies and good for the safety of the entire world in one nine hundred ninety four bill clinton made a deal with north korea north korea could tale's its nuclear program and the u.s. builds two nuclear reactors for it to compensate energy loss gives it hard for a million tons of fuel per year and normalize relations they never built the nuclear reactors they never sent any fuel and they never signed an official peace agreement you're seeing a pattern here right perspire it seems to be the carrot except what no one seems the realizes it's for dangling not for tasting that just life they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life

and it's going to be a grand opening ceremony for russia's longest bridge later today look if you will the tetons after they stop playing. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often scary dramatic to follow through the only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. with the whole make this manufacture consent to stick to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the financial merry go round the sun be the one percent. time

we can all middle of the room sick. to lose any more you need to. apply 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 to the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money kill you narrowness and spending to twenty million one player. it's an experience like nothing else want to because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful guy a great so will transfer. and thinks this minute. thank you.

welcome back a shia cleric with a strong strong anti-american views looks on course to become the most powerful figure in iraqi politics time to outsiders coalition is sweeping to victory in the parliamentary election and he is known as being an outspoken critic of the u.s. military presence in iraq and an opponent to iran he even led to revolt against american forces after their two thousand and three invasion while washington called shia militia loyal to saddam the biggest threat to iraq's security some iraqis support our starter for his religious beliefs while others see him as a symbol of resistance against the u.s. . winning in the parliamentary elections would effectively put as kinglake

a giving him huge influence in choosing the next prime minister iraq you know gives the political blocks and ninety days to form a parliamentary majority on select leda middle east experts about on the seri told us the election result could have a major impact on iraq he will ations with the us. and his movement and since two thousand and three there was the iraqi education there's a sense among the iraqis especially those on the subways and song that a lot of conflict the reason including ice is its own was mostly due to the us a few years ago asian and us towards for storage for such an extreme screw so they are against the influence of the presence of u.s. troops and and by that and so on with iraq because they think they are part of the problem rather than solution there might be some sort of conflict or disagreement between the government and the united states on what that and how the united states

can keep some sort of present in iraq and so on so the us will how much more difficult times it dealing with this become a government bond with about the an amount of people. and obsession in the us media is making it difficult to find variety in your daily news always caleb maupin now looks at how donald trump has been keeping the mainstream media satisfied. there is no shortage of trump bashing in american media and unsurprisingly americans are pretty sick of it some media personalities have even come forward and stated the obvious we in the media are essentially all trump all the time and the upshot is that we risk not covering a lot of really important things at home and around the world and what about the wave of teachers strikes arizona oklahoma west virginia this is a historic shake up in the american educational system but the american media blinked and didn't notice i didn't see her to be anything in the media about this

on any of the networks even some of the networks that we watch. you know russia turn the channel russia russia russia russia and how about poverty thirteen percent of americans live below the poverty line homelessness is on the rise having increased for the first time since the great recession but the media doesn't put much attention onto that issue either. we see an average of seven to eight hundred people every single day. congress has reached an agreement on tax legislation that will deliver more jobs higher wages and massive tax relief. and amid all the poverty some americans are doing pretty well now the media likes

to focus on one particular rich guy who happens to live in the white house but what about the rest of the american one percent who are shaping the laws and controlling newsrooms how often is a.b.c. c.b.s. or n.b.c. discussed the role of the koch brothers and not the billionaires play increasing the political system which allows the rich and powerful to significantly control elections and the legislative process in congress sadly dion's to these. questions is almost never polls show that americans have a lot of real fears these days they're worried about health care education economic growth and jobs however the media seems to focus their outrage only on a man with a bad toupee was busy ranting on twitter this is how michelle wolfe the comedian put it at the white house correspondents dinner. what no one in this room once to admit is that trump has helped all of you he couldn't sell steak survive or water or college or ties or air it.

but he has helped you he's helped you sell your papers and your books in your t.v. media like almost everything else in the land of the free is a business profits keep rolling in while americans lose it will happen artsy new york. a road bridge that connects mainland russia to the crimean peninsula is set for traffic six months ahead of schedule once in service it will reduce the region's reliance on sea and air transport and allow more tourists to visit the area which is a popular summit destination for russians president putin is expected to open what will be russia's longest bridge later on tuesday.

i am. joining us again for all the latest at the top of the hour.

i played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside i. hope all is an only if i want happens on the pitch for the final score it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman each of killian erroneous and spending thirty to twenty million a warm flying. so it's an experience like nothing else only because i want to share what i think of what i know about the beautiful game like great so will all chance for. a nice it's my nature. the united states has always had tools to use and it's a tax on other countries. economic sanctions are are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military

pressure on the countries a talking about. and if they're asked to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country. i am a responsibility for the hague. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without ours there will be change. the feel of.

the canoe events like going to get his pubic. thinks events like older they spell and also when they give you thing that jumped off the. shoulder seventies but. it only. hope homeless elvis or not. if you don't. but if you take. this you devote all the. show he's doing ok she benvenuto put his appeal to a lot of people. if the last fifteen years increase in their release we could call a spontaneous emergent trends global trend of water it means politicians which goes in the opposite direction taking water back into the cap it's only until

a few years ago. it was the only game in town. interest given must create a position secondly. because he said a lot when you don't understand what he said. but he's feeling he did it to the users as found for fend off. in the face of this war but if he. ever does that they can do to the middle of. the sale of make use of people base but if i. just want is for locals you better start it's becoming more and will. become highly profitable might be tradeable those people who see everything as something to mess to they want. they want or more.

water is the driving force of life. a scarce natural resource to which one out of ten people on us have no access. to scarce or it becomes management of it that is who provides water to big cities becomes more significant. for more than half a century this was a domain of private water companies however since two thousand things have begun to change.

a funeral the same as one enters my mind it's consumed with death this one quite different person speaking out because there were no other takers. claim that mainstream media has met its maker. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest in the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've mater the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like howard prime tamping huge day. eighty five percent of global wealth he wants to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and that point rose to twenty thousand dollars

. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember in one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only. in day it's that the municipality had guaranteed in the contracts such as definite growth in population and consumption was still only seen on paper. so when in two thousand and ten the newly elected mega this to go mess started protesting the company went to coach demanding compensation. for the brain simply suggest that either we should be doing to deal with but our government a movie by governor since the deal. says i was to kenya. and will.

not fall from this process defend the city of fifty thousand which signed a similar contract with the same company and with tragic consequences. the people talk to the streets past us to fight atta and suddenly getting the most expensive water in portugal. ok mike you will do just. what it is that we did that ok bye. you know that's when did it without then a lot of people thought that it would get lost again and that must count on best oh but it's a became a matter of past us to fight it out with water was the main focus of his election campaign. he soon discovered that the situation was even worse than he did match and no survey you give you of these elite community can know if you know. the maze

to museums simak is a fool does it grow not on to him when then but is a pretty well known to use move but i would do it king is flume an explosive that moved it is look it was there that. one class will be the only place where they live whether one to listen to much and yes student this is typically provide the answer part of lebanon. to say. the border bruce ho diverse which is all the absolutely wrong in france no no yes. and what is the result. the people would quit if you were all the satisfied my descendants is in one protected these are the main reasons to be performed.

for the people who knew the terms of the contract of sale for the water company which had been kept secret that was only one option. to make them public. so that all germans could know that they themselves had guaranteed thirty years of profits for two companies. a referendum was needed to make the contracts details public. political parties try to stop it. that's what i do want once found i got. a good who couldn't do them first. shifts guy i'm. getting it done for dispel enough of. me or don't i just i don't it will fly again . and i don't.

know. the local government under the weight of public opinion was forced to reclaim the berlin water company. which has since two thousand and fourteen completely returned to public ownership. however the repurchase price was very high close to one point three billion euros. the high cost. saw him in a spot as it. were true mainly due to the fire that waters had been privatized first this year the costs will probably. move to national have been very expertly proficient. at passing on to consumers because that's what

the do always wherever they go. this is. no reason pushing this official to several of these. then making. the final hour i get this thing up again this year be a better life than. me thought i could be good in the economy. now and i mean me given the amount what our nato mess isn't it never of the. new heart or mind of the european which is behind world products. i think that the european commission would be very very clear that change poses would privatisation on anybody if they only could. we let the member states to organize in the way that the think it's more efficient so both public and private ownership are possible so that we have an official

system that distributes high quality safe efficient affordable water to all the citizens. and their patients. and everybody should get a. ticket i mean what are the three. men talking about three go up and i could be a better person. and it cut us off. when suffering once means social it that and the guns. used by you know how to get it all. you need is. just students to pretty much easier this size and that's in sight and i don't

i know this guy fishtail to be out of a community is evil does. it get i was a hope. it was a historic referendum. ninety five percent of a tally of voters said no to water privatization was berlusconi's government a plan. and the reason why we had this referendum is because the business could be good at math two years before passed a law that was foreseen there but i did say show up local level you need to get management of there will be somebody. making money by the to

sell out at least fifty percent of the state in public companies for all the public said not only were there. a few weeks after that referendum triumph. and mario draghi the new and departing directors of the european central bank sent a secret letter to bonus going to be exposed by the korean adela's newspaper. they remind him of the basic measures expected of it to make. structural reform favoring competition and italian bonds including the full lips. local public service is through large scale privatization. that secret lesser cost quite a backlash because the e.c.b. has no institutional jurisdiction to enforce policy making in an e.u. member state. it was judgment the judgment of the e.c.b.

. was necessary in this absolutely dramatic circumstances where forty percent of the g.d.p. of the. attack one of. the bellas going to government implemented many of the measures proposed in that letter while at the same time secretly trying to introduce provisions to private eyes water. a proposal that italians had rejected in the referendum. the constitutional court intervened and said no you cannot reign should years. legal provisions to repeal as a result of. this caused the european commissioner olli rehn to write to mr berlusconi again asking for clarification. just. as

a judge of. italians who had already made up their own minds saw that sentence despite the outcomes of the referendum as an insult it also infringed upon an e.u. article demanding neutrality. so yes you know. scott this give this. any who are not mixes. of their your.

group i mean is that funny that we're going to prevent just. the exact city going to. your local modest you'll do it all up it don't want to do would amend the peaceful says it all to. a. large scale privatizations of a key demand in every memorandum that the troika has imposed on every greek government the water companies of athens and thessaloniki always on the list. mr make a lock is a journalist and was new democracy spokesperson. he later became interior minister for the right wing government formed by the un told us the modest and twenty twelve

. that was the year in which a minimum percentage state holding in the two largest water companies was abolished by law paving the way for complete privatization. if you tickle bees in a couple. of them one of your that's in. the midst of it maybe i think but i must put up. with him i'm giving up a bit of houston. with him a new. look and they can you know. put it. to an employee of the school and they should be lecturing of us because of the you can have us to use would be cute but i'm still by a.t.m. machine if you use the school will be enough to come. out of my living go to school go to the board make it move the measure of use a ship you have to have a look at the superdome as opposed to skip it by.

senators financial survival guide i don't find a high cost on a teacher's. face almost five. as the last time i buy it from the future of the truck i watch kaiser. united states head of tools it's news and it's a tax on other country's. economic sanctions are are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on the countries a true talking about. and there has to be an effort to demonize that country and the leader of that country because. we have

a responsibility for the whole. and we need to make rules for the rest. because without us there will be. with no make this manufacture come sentenced him to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round to be the. it's not like we can all middle of the room signal. to lose the real needs. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to clear the demonstrations going from

being relatively peaceful protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just no war here i mean your list put bill you would put him in the new bill is that i mean you split needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty fourteen. of those who took the pledge invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. political. cause. i think that.

if there are other. cities. because the israeli border is braced for more violent so off the fifty nine palestinians were killed during protests against the relocation of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem on monday. the u.s. move sparked outcry across the globe with several world leaders and the even some of its well. traditional allies expressing furious condemnation. an american soldier subjects himself to waterboarding in support of the controversial nominee for the new head of the cia claiming that the brutal interrogation technique does not amount to torture. and with north and south

korea said for talks to us pledge is prosperity in return for nuclear disarmament we look at america's track record of carrot and stick diplomacy. thanks to a very warm welcome you're watching on t.v. international with me if you air and good to have you with us this hour now our top story fifty nine people have been killed and over two thousand injured during clashes between palestinian protesters and israeli security forces monday was the most violent day in years as huge rallies took place against the relocation of the u.s. embassy to jerusalem another potential flashpoint it's also seventy years since the creation of israel known as nakba or catastrophe to palestinians.

lot of. lives thanks to. that we extend a hand in friendship through it is through the powers that in the end of their labor may there be a need to clean. pray for the peace of jerusalem. right. the palestinians have called for

a national day of mourning today the palestinian government is calling on the international community for immediate international intervention it has to end yesterday's clashes to quote a terrible massacre at the same time we are hearing a charge being leveled against the israeli army for using to quote excessive force against protesters nobby's ready defense forces has shot back to speeding this saying that it was behaving in self-defense in the way that any country would to protect its sovereign is border is of course the trigger for the latest round of violence was the american moving off their embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem and walk inside that building there were pictures of laughter and jubilation outside not only in gaza but just across the road where i was positioned they were confrontations and a lot of anger against the embassy take a look. here to pose a decision by the u.s. administration to relook at their embassy in the heart of the contested city in the

heart of the city where thirty five to forty percent of its residents were living under occupation both are not citizens of that he stated that i have basic rights we're here because we oppose trying them to see what we think it's playing with the lives of israelis and palestinians alike in our lives and if it is not a game after meant to be any israeli parliamentarian what do you what do you think about the whole incident we are. in a demonstration which has been liason by those that it would use but immediately after we arrived they attacked our document but of that they said just because we had it been two of the best known for die and then they attacked us. to get back we are here to see that jerusalem east is occupied territory it should be the capital there. was a cry cry that the heard of the hire for the upcoming tour of the outer religion it is pretty clear when i don't get it.

now unfortunately we do expect the casualty count to further climb today as thousands of palestinians are expected to mark the day which means the day of catastrophe it is the same day that israelis call the day of independence and it harkens back to nine hundred forty eight when the state of israel was established but for palestinians it marks the beginning of the mass forced exodus the israeli army and israeli police on high alert here in jerusalem and on the borders throughout the west bank we expect clashes to erupt after midday prayers the casualty figure as it stands is at one hundred and three palestinians who have been killed over the past six weeks since the great march of the turn rallies were called for those readings culminate in today's nakba commemorations protests against the american embassy being relocated to jerusalem have been held in the u.s. itself crowds march in washington and los angeles decrying donald trump's decision

rallies have also been held in several other countries protesters burned u.s. and israeli flags in support of the palestinians but also expressed anger at the violence on the gaza border south africa and turkey strongly condemns the move and have recalled their ambassadors to israel ankara also withdrew its envoy to the u.s. . on medical religion. we think that the moving of the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem is an unfortunate decision we are rejecting once again this decision which violates international law which is against un resolution . it's with its latest step the u.s. has chosen to be a part of the problem not a solution and has lost its mediating role in the middle east peace process we don't agree with the decision of the us to to move their embassy we continue to think that the playing the role card at the time when all the attempt. to ban is

concerned that the move could make the peace process in the middle east even more difficult or escalate tension across the middle east to a ten year old. believe that the current us president does not have the ability to differentiate and judge about the long term consequences of his actions. we asked our guests the bev use of america's stance on jerusalem. only he'll be miserable some people around us want us to expose tolerance to those who declare that they want to kill us who declare that they want to get into israel by booby traps by clutching called by it are you fools well poor that they're just you know all of the regional hundred military who is very aware that what is are the exact diet and the nerd are under some years later and that has only to for for eleven years you are the one who initiated this you initiated this you thought you brought

the well the only your start up steadily isn't what policy has brought to the world tell me you have anything resides raises in that shipment and how it is now a lot of and not anything if you define greater israel as the area between the river jordan of the mediterranean sea the area under effective israeli control jews are now a small minority and that population and the more of a minority they become the more undemocratic. and racist israel becomes there are zero israeli injuries zero israeli casualties over two thousand palestinians injured over fifty seven palestinians killed including i'll share you how magic arabs are about how accurate israel what do all of these protests. all of these are odessa in guys that were happening on

gazans inside the area occupied by israel in one nine hundred sixty seven israel use disproportionate force in an illegal manner killing scores of powers and ends and wounding thousands literally thousands more but you know hamas is not my favorite organization. so the hamas is a political impact rock group which has completely failed to exploit israel's growth growth contradictions and to use them against the increasingly race a state where hamas has failed consistently by attacking. jews quire jews and therefore forcing making sure that israel is will burn together all the more tightly against what they see as an external threat i have something to

tell you we want to establish a palestinian state in the future the two state solution is the international solution it's not the palestinian solution alone i do believe still that there is a chance for this solution but it will take courage and it will take resolve from the international community to step up. a u.s. special forces soldier has subjected himself to waterboarding in support of trans controversial nominee the next head of the cia tim kennedy posted a facebook video of being mocked drowned to try and show that it is not a form of torture however not everyone thinks convinced by the stunt. having attainted does this look like torture to you guys it doesn't look like torture to be either the reason we're doing this out a big. hero is readied for our there's been reportedly the director the cia.

i want every fishel who promotes waterboarding as not torture to be required to demonstrate the validity of their claim but the water boarded in the exact same fashion as is practiced in prisoners this includes cheney in hospital i was a navy pilot and went to the e.r. in one nine hundred eighty one waterboarding east orchard bonus round if torture is so great and vital why don't we do it to normal criminal suspects the nominee for the cia director mentioned in the video and reaction to it has been widely criticized after allegations of her involvement in enhanced interrogation techniques which included waterboarding human rights advocates have been urging u.s. senators to vote against her appointments however president trump who hand-picked gina her support for the job has openly backed the torture tactic waterboarding has been used by the cia despite being considered torture under international law it can cause serious damage to internal organs or death if the process is prolonged we

discussed the waterboarding video with a former guantanamo detainee who says it doesn't matter what one soldier thinks that still amounts to torture. many people can withstand different types of georgia for example i know a individual might be able to bear the pain of having his on twisted or having that pulled out compared to others who can't but it's not based on the individual's ability to be able to take that torture or not it's according to the definition of the law international more interesting to just recently the two people captured by the syrian defense forces who are alleged to be water who want to avoid that if they're american captives for isis also water that. they have to so here the americans are saying that these two individuals that have committed war crimes which include waterboarding so this kind of notion of it isn't torture it's

only torture when we say it is when it affects us it's complete hypocrisy and it's complete and it opposes more importantly international law which which was torture completely and it says that not only is physical torture out top of those so a psychological part of the use or to force confessions out of peoples. north korea has reportedly starting to feel hey its promises are nuclear disarmament talks between the north and south are expected on wednesday but with donald trump withdrawing from the nuclear disarmament deal with iran there are fears that washington will win eight on its promises right gaddy have takes up the story. we all know what carrot and stick diplomacy is but these these goes beyond that way beyond their will get private capital the comes in north korea's desperately in need of energy support electricity for their people we can deliver that and as i said earlier this week we can create conditions for real economic

prosperity for the north korean people that will rival that of the south talk about extremes not so long ago people were seriously talking about nuclear war those with a penchant for the dramatic really made the best of the opportunity north korea. best not make it work threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen well north koreans must be sighing in relief instead of fire and fury they're now getting the carrot will they have to do is give up nukes nice let's just hope they have short memories so i think iran is on notice and they are going to have to make a choice are they willing to go down the path which i think ultimately will lead to greater prosperity and security for iran giving up the acquisition

of nuclear weapons or will they continue down a path that is going to lead to confrontation or quit the arabians gave up on nukes dismantled their program complied absolutely with every requirement in the end it didn't matter they gave up nukes and then america took back the whole perspire it's a thing we'll see how we do with the rand probably we want to very well with them but that's ok too they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life when life gives you lemons make lemonade so long as trump doesn't take the lemons too regardless perhaps this time things will be different iran was a one off right wrong i am pleased that the united states and north korea yesterday

reached agreement this agreement is good for the united states good for our allies and good for the safety of the entire world in one nine hundred ninety four bill clinton made a deal with north korea north korea could tale's its nuclear program and the u.s. builds two nuclear reactors for it to compensate energy loss gives it a half a million tons of fuel per year and normalize relations they never built the nuclear reactors they never sent any fuel and they never signed an official peace agreement you're seeing a pattern here right perspire it seems to be the carrot except what no one seems the realizes it's for dangling not for tasting that just life they've got to understand. life because i don't think they do understand life. as a surprising front runner in iraq's first election since islamic states defeat in

education economic growth and jobs however the media seems to focus their outrage only on a man with a bad toupee was busy ranting on twitter this is how michelle wolf the comedian put it at the white house correspondents dinner. what no one in this room once to admit is that trump has helped all of you. he couldn't sell state survive or water or college or ties or air. but he has helped year he's helped you sell your papers and your books in your t.v. media like almost everything else in the land of the free is a business profits keep rolling in all americans lose it will happen r.t. new york. i wrote bridge that connects mainland russia to the korean peninsula is set to open for traffic six months ahead of schedule once in service

sorry for me i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was a cave in still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our ark and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters my mind it's consumed with death this one quite different so i speak to you now because there are no other takers. the same that mainstream media has met its maker. to.

sports betting in the states the law the professional and amateur sports protection act of one nine hundred ninety two also known as the bradley act for prime sponsor former senator bill bradley who was a member of the new york knickerbockers back in the day it fell under the weight of a third challenge that was affectively instigated by the state of new jersey which is hoping legal sports betting can revive their faltering casino industry major u.s. sports leagues had sued the state of new jersey twice before on these issues successfully citing the bradley act as a bar to the state's efforts to legalize sports betting in this round though the justices found six to three that the bradley acts effect a bar to legalisation of sports betting in states where it was not yet allowed is an unconstitutional comma deering of state resources joining us to dig a little bit deeper is our to steve christakis steve thank you for joining us what do you make of this it's a pretty interesting decision i don't think people expected it yeah i mean with the

brother being overturned today it was a law created back in ninety two as you said for bed state authorized sports gambling with some exceptions being the main one where you were that was the only state where you. are allowed to bet on us the results of a single game a wager results on the result of a single game besides organ delaware and montana as well as the other three states that were exempt this basically means that individual states now are going to decide whether or not to legalize sports gambling and a lot of them are hoping to solve their budget problems because of all the revenue it's going to bring bring in to the state and research firm actually stated that within five years they expect thirty two states to legalize sports hall my gosh you well i mean the states have had so many budget problems in part because the federal government hasn't been giving as much back to the states and we see it with the lotteries which aren't i guess quote unquote gambling but when you look at which states are sort of the states are poised to have the biggest economic and business

impact from this over turning bradley law which states are those well we had six states already that have it in acted legislature legislation for once this ban was lifted were well for what it will be lifted new jersey was the main one in new york connecticut west virginia pennsylvania and mississippi i thing.
