draft resolution alongside its your of skeptic ally the league party to form a coalition government putting the euro and lifting sanctions against russia appear to be among the major issues proposed to the document was leaked to the media r.t. charlotte dubin ski has details. many people see these two parties who are from the left and the right side of the political spectrum as being quite radical parties they're anti establishment they're anti e.u. and already that leaked document and its details have caused some jitters on the stock market with many investors selling off their italian assets when those leaks were put online so what's in the document what's causing this fixation they want to leave the single currency that would mean quitting the euro they also want the european central bank to write off some of italy's debts with two hundred and fifty billion euros they also talk about russia and relations with the country between
10:31 pm
russia and the e.u. saying that they want to scrap the sanctions that are currently in place against russia and want to see russia as being a trading partner and not a threat and also quite crucially they want to revise the e.u. migration rules that currently exist which means that migrants have to apply for permission to stay in the first country that they set foot on well we have had confirmation from the five star movement that this document is authentic but we've been told that it isn't all document and there have been revisions since that was dated on may fourteenth however we are aware they've told r.t. that there is a final agreement that's already been put in the new agreement on russia but we don't know the wording of that yet but one certainly to watch out for given the tensions between the european union and russia so why is there anxiety about these two parties coming together is seen as being anti establishment and some fear
10:32 pm
that the suggestion that these two parties could form a governing coalition in in italy could actually threaten and destabilize the euro zone if you think about it italy is one of the three. crucial members of the euro seen including france and germany and if you think of it as being a three legged stool if you take one of those legs away then it could just completely collapse all around and that's what many people fear will happen with these two parties if they come together but let's be clear they haven't yet released a final document they're still working on that they want to form this governing coalition so that italy doesn't face fresh elections but there still seems to be some sticking points before that government can be formed. sure of the school of political science at the university belong you thinks that if the deal is actually implemented well it could influence the policies of other e.u. countries i think the key thing here will be what the actual action of the
10:33 pm
government will be if a government is in place with this platform so rather than the words written in the agreement i think we'll have to see whether this government. actually starts starts governing starts running the country and which policies it actually tries to put into action so this could have an impact on other countries both in terms of the rhetoric towards europe and in terms of specific actions. there's been a possible game changer in the script poll poisoning case new report by german media suggest the burden obtained not decades ago and that it shared it with its allies the nerve agent was used in the incident involving the former spy service cripple u.k. blames russia for the stark claiming it was the only country that possessed the substance on these police has more on the revelations. the headline grabbing revelation in this german media report is that the german intelligence agency the b
10:34 pm
n d has handed a sample of the novacek nerve agent since the early one nine hundred ninety s. it was apparently brought over by a former soviet scientist moreover according to these reports the sample was analyzed in sweden and then it was passed on to germany's nato partners including the u.s. and the u.k. the german media investigation also says that this goes to show that russia has been producing novacek which is something that moscow categorically denies but coming back to the formula itself it appears to have been a pretty badly kept secret earlier this month the czech president milosz them and said that the czech republic had produced and stored albeit a slightly different strain of the nerve agent to the one used in souls brave but nevertheless that country shouldn't be hypocritical about this. small amounts of
10:35 pm
money were produced in the czech republic we know well and we know where it will be critical to pretend such a thing never happened however politically moscow has been cast very much as the unequivocal perpetrator of the soul's bre attack to reason may said that it was highly likely that russia was behind the attack on the script take a lesson. called for news about the identity of the culprits no other country has a combination of the capability the intent and the motive to carry out such an act there is no alternative explanation yet but. this is. close even keel to forgive. the explosion that's what the politicians have said but the head of the government laboratory here in the u.k. . a that was analyzing and identifying the sample of the nerve agent used in the
10:36 pm
attack porton down the head of that government lab hasn't been able to confirm the origin of the nerve agent itself used in salisbury and now some news outlets are saying that these revelations show that a whole raft of countries have had a sample of this nerve agent for nearly two decades now and as one of the newspapers that published this investigation has said this british theory that the poison could only come from russia shows unjustified confidence the german media says that those behind the us to go should have requested comment on the revelations from both the german and we dish governments berlin said it wouldn't discuss the intelligence issue so said it's not aware of any involvement. stifling of free speech that's the cry from twitter users to news the messaging
10:37 pm
that was launched special algorithms that will suppress some accounts recent changes are part of a project called serving healthy conversation was introduced back in march the algorithms will target certain accounts based on a range of criteria that include users who are connected in some way to users who violated twitter's rules or of the certain accounts been blocked by other uses the changes a raise concerns throughout the social media community particularly from conservative sides laughs twitter is going to show the count's who even former all told to people who violate the terms of service what a brilliant plan so now twitter is planning to censor any tweets reported for abuse really no check to see if the tweet was actually abusive whatever that means. there are traitor in jack i never complain about how you run your business but you knew hiding treats passy has me concerned about censorship i understand your goal is to
10:38 pm
stop bullying but i found a block feature works incredibly well for that it's very difficult to differentiate between people such as myself who campaign around privacy and freedom of speech and people who are equally passionate about some sort of less worthy topics maybe hate or whatever and the algorithms at this moment in time haven't actually been that effective in some of the recent job and there have been some very senior bloggers some very senior influencers on social media who've been caught up in shout about it myself included unless we can have a little bit more. you're actually stifling free speech. africa has long promoted itself as being a safari holiday destination catering not least to well off travelling through adverts such as this.
10:39 pm

10:41 pm
intimidated who have arrested and beaten the villagers because they have tried to use their ancestral lands we also find that they have been violent addictions and these are all been carried out in the most rewarding tourism arsenal dinars and in the absence of food it has led to widespread hunger managership and disease the kind of disposition that the report priest you shills are going to not just be forced out of their homes and lands with their messiah been forced out of existence . the head of one company probed thomson safari strongly denies being involved in the evictions direct to rick thomson that they also work with local communities and the government to improve access to water activists on the ground though tell a different story idea look at the government and in your tent assented i mean that you are isn't enough all the boredom related are all this is because you know that

10:47 pm
economic sanctions are are often just the beginning another thing you like to do is place some military pressure on. country's attorney 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 home. and so we need to make rules for us. because without us there will be change.
10:48 pm
nice guys are ok you know what a rube goldberg machine is right just like a mouse with like fifteen different ways to get the ball through the hoop down the slide over to the roundabout and then joel. donald trump yes stacey that was a rube goldberg opening nobody knows quite what she said but i'm going to start with the donald trump tweet and nobody ever knows quite what he's saying either and that is president xi of china and i are working together to give massive chinese phone companies e.t.e. a way to get back into business fast too many jobs in china last commerce department has been instructed to get it done this is a story highlighting the capricious nature of a us dollar empire remember we've had this exorbitant privilege for the last forty years since one thousand seventy one since we went off the gold standard we've had this exorbitant privilege as charles the goals government pointed out that we were
10:49 pm
able to basically print money and get free goods from the rest of the world and this worked out quite well for a very long time and led to globalization and a rise in global living standards and now it feels like once we erected one trade barrier one basically barrier by a swift to this financial this dollar financial system a few years ago against iran and at that time our guest jim rickards said be careful what you do because if you use this weapon too often things could fall apart but this story about what happened to z t e m a massive chinese telecoms company that got destroyed overnight by the u.s. and now is trying they're trying to resurrect it is an interesting one right well you know china is taking our jobs so here you. is very near to having just been elected and he's making sure the china gets our jobs he's exporting our jobs back to china it took a back but now he's putting it back he thinks so it is like
10:50 pm
a rube goldberg machine in that sense and it also reminds me what happens when you have a global economy that is completely tied together just in time delivery like a gordian knot of trade if you try to move one little part with a sanction or a tweak here it affects the entire ecosystem of all global trade but it's not like we're living in the eighteenth century or something where you put something on a ship and takes a few weeks to get to the other side and all were going to some of the trade in gold now it's all instant sanely says especially the block chain coming into the mix is instant taney asli settled upon the execution of the trade it's instant settlement no banks even so trump is like wallowing in there like a drunken boris yeltsin liked trying to figure out like. clark you can get dog. right and he's like completely bamboozled himself he's fooling himself and it also reminds me in the u.k. when they have a transportation system set up in different divisions so them that one company is
10:51 pm
doing that railway and other companies doing the stops along the railway and they're competing with each other in the u.k. privatized is a component of their transportation system so then they compete with each other and it doesn't work you can't get from point a to point b. because there's two separate companies or five separate companies competing with each other to stop you from getting to your destination so you end up with a are really a system is broken where trumps applying the same for cocteau logic to global trade and looking like an idiot of course here is a us dollar based trade system that has benefited us immensely yes we have lost a lot of jobs but we've got receive a lot of goods for free here i'm going to show you the consequences of imposing sanctions like they did on c t first i'll tell you about. chinese tech giant on brink of. apps in the u.s. cold war this is from the new york times want to china's most internationally successful tech suppliers with about seventeen billion dollars in annual revenues
10:52 pm
each facing a death sentence the commerce department has blocked access to american made components until twenty twenty five saying the company failed to punish employees who violated trade controls against iran and north korea so they had already paid a billion dollar fine then they said they can't trade use any u.s. parts many of their components for their various products that they make are actually from the united states so basically they had to shut down fire seventy five thousand people around the world and seventeen billion dollars from the global trade system evaporated but the point is that because of this as the new york times points out as the chump administration threatens a trade war to stymie china's plans for promoting events industries the firms to vale's are proving an apt demonstration for china's leaders of exactly why the country needs to be more self-sufficient in technology chris lane a telecom analyst in hong kong with sanford c. bernstein believes that china now has the resolve to whip its semiconductor business into world leading shape even if it takes
10:53 pm
a decade to do so quote they're going to pour billions of dollars into preventing this from ever happening again he said in the long run strategically this might be worse for the us than the current situation so he's going to force china into the arms of iran force and germany into the arms of russia so he's creating a multi-polar world which means a multi currency world which means block chain but cohen world the biggest loser is the us dollar in america yet in this case of course the u.s. corporations have benefited from the semiconductor business that needs microchips from here so it's helped us manufacturers the u.s. companies u.s. employees now he's forcing. out a business or is trying to bring them back into business but he was forced them out of business because he couldn't you. u.s. parts but remember there are many many other nations the world and they all look at this and say well is there going to going to be a point where we're going to suddenly be cut off should we build our own
10:54 pm
manufacturing system to rely on any u.s. components when it's it's quite possible that trump or whoever come becomes president next could do the same thing right no that is that's inflationary because up until now it had this huge deflationary wave of globalization and the u.s. dollars a single source of borrowing which is then tied to the yen and you can get money for negative renters trades but if everyone splits off of their own separate five times they're going to rebuild and replicate everyone's manufacturing capacity in five or six different countries that's written inflationary that means that the u.s. dollar bond market the u.s. treasury market now at three percent the highest it's been in years it's going to five or six percent i mean every mortgage in america is going to go out of business do you bank a new report it's going out of business it's insolvent that'll set off another two thousand and eight firestorm of global banking collapses it's happening now where's the money going to go big point about that iran sanctions story this is another story that happened capriciously likely that it was so like the the kings of
10:55 pm
england before the magna carta like it was very whims the call and like i'm going to be head that enemy of mine i'm going to behead my cousin because he insulted me at you know thanksgiving dinner. now that they thanks i'm not going to thanksgiving dinner at your house so you're worst of having like a burnt turkey breast but here it be had it but here is another article about the consequences of using that sort of power of pulling the trigger on the power that you have to cut people off from the u.s. dollar system time to break free from america this is from a blog called irrationality and you know air bus has ten percent of their components are made in the u.s. so just ten percent of their components but because of that because after all those years. a negotiation is in there rainy and deal and he decided to add a whim via tweet to just knock off that system and europe has billions of dollars
10:56 pm
of new trade with iran airbus has a billions of dollars deal so suddenly air bus can't do this and look at the consequences these are things said by french and german ministers french foreign minister johnny. complained that quote we feel that the extraterritoriality of their american sanction measures are unacceptable the europeans should not have to pay for the withdrawal from an agreement by the united states which they have themselves contributed meanwhile french finance minister bruno demand asked yesterday do we want to be the asses who obey decisions taken by the united states while clinging to the hem of their trousers or do want to say we have our own economic interests and remarkably the article goes on to point out that because of these a rainy and sanctions they're actually disgusting and very high levels in europe among the ministerial class of devising an alternative to the swift system again this is really important to the demise if the fewer dollars you have circulating
10:57 pm
the fewer the less power you have to mess up the system and destroy your enemies by cutting them off from the swiss system is censorship enabling if the us doesn't like is still an astonished they can cut him off from all credit if the us doesn't like what's happening around they can cut him off from swift right that's such a ship enabling that goes against everything that you would normally believe is the story with free trade so america is on a free trade country it's not a capitalist countries on believing in competition it's a monopolist country that believes in monopolization and then like to use the dollar as their bludgeon to beat people into submission and if you try to get out of the dollar whether it's syria iraq libya or iran but just actually said they're getting out the dollar to go to euro boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom why dollars collateralized by vine. and ultraviolence i believe it was under obama actually that they first cut off somebody from the swift system and again it was it was jim rickards who has done extensive writing and research about
10:58 pm
the dollar and golden s.c.r. and he said that was. we could rule that day that we did that because yeah we we were like yeah we won that battle but we could leave there the records is not the matter well as they point out european politicians are now considering what measures they can take to protect themselves from american efforts to force them to comply with american sanctions policy according to the e.u. is considering various avenues one of these he says involves looking at europe's financial independence what can we do to give europe more financial tools allowing it to be independent from the united states connected with this is a proposal to set up a purely european finance house to oversee euro denominated transactions with iran and again that guy is the french finance minister and you know denominator transactions of the rent call up tony to libya bit pay and you can do bitcoin transactions with iran between germany and europe all day long for zero percent
10:59 pm
transaction fees and no restrictions whatsoever get with the twenty first century germany don't let america take france but never get rid of all the troops by the way in germany that's a huge drain on your economy you don't leave us troops. were ever so i mean interestingly this system that we have now this with us dollar based system was basically set up because of the french finance minister under de gaulle called the fact that america had this gold standard and yet a dollar standard as well on top of it that they had an exorbitant privilege and they called back the three hundred million dollars worth of gold and that set off in motion the ending of the bretton woods agreement so here they are calling again they're pointing out like hey this is where it's subject to these crazy there's a goal moment is another de gaulle moment but quickly in the last headline here this is from reuters and they're talking about again these iran sanctions and the consequences and that is iran oil sanctions. could it vance china's pet show you and this is from reuters not from os china's position to be a chief beneficiary of the u.s.
11:00 pm
decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal as it would give china leverage to demand oil imports be priced in un several currency experts said on thursday so just just as invading iraq and spending lord knows how many trillions of dollars killing lord knows how many hundreds of thousands because we're not allowed to audit how much we spend we're not allowed to audit how many we killed but the fact is it benefited iran here again we're going to benefit china is like a blundering empire not that it's unique to the us every empire does the same thing they all become hubris thick and think they can now bully everybody rome did it spain did it britain did it everybody thinks they could do this and this is never different it's always the same yes always history repeats or rhymes whatever well they had a lot more crazy stuff going on in the second half so don't go away stay right there.
