you learn about this what do i do with you and it almost takes of assassinating status it's not just a piece of forensic evidence now do we owe any duty of privacy or removing it expunging it from this database how do you say well you for example hipaa laws and insurance are very very strict but do we say but not if you're accused what if i was exonerated well we'll get to you later nobody's thought about this in france you know but listen they haven't thought about it so much they're not even and the rising that the you know the test cases show which is for you about genomes and the like well moving from cold cases to cold war hillary clinton spoke this weekend at yale and i'd love to get your thoughts part of the event is this idea of donning these over the top house and and she got up brought a special one for the kids let's take a look a russian hand. i mean

if you can't. see oh yeah i was you know is she also going to slap on a james komi mask with that hat. it was too because it's hard because i keep trying to defend this idea that you know she's of course allowed to be upset of course these things but at some point what does that teach a roomful of college graduates from an ivy league school standing there holding up this girl hundred twenty nine russians and twenty nine million russians across the world varying amounts of like whether it was your ancestors or you live there and many ethnic groups right what does that saying to the world when we're up there making cracks about a half. especially by the way that hat symbolizes one of the reasons why we vanquish one of the worst serial of you know monsters in the history of

humankind you know and we just celebrated that with russia's contribution where i forget that you know tolstoy said history would be a wonderful thing of only it were true well this woman's perspective would be wonderful if only it were true you know top of the i've asked a lot of my friends and we just reacted and you know what we say almost without exception this is sad we're beyond the anger part let it go it's spiteful and then we're going to find out the she's going to go to harvard to receive the i guess the second place participation trophy because because she was a part of this the radcliffe award for transitioning. for transition yes she transition a trump presidency so what we're seeing right now is my question to you and to the world do you think she is just cosmically organically intellectually bereft of any ability to make the connection of how silly this looks yeah that it will be better

just to move on absolutely and i wish we had more time but apparently don't even have time to talk about her work. thank you very much alive now. as we go to break cock watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics we've covered on facebook and twitter fearful shows that are heat outcome coming up some found sat down with one blow hillary author of hitchhiking in the axis of evil to discuss the epidemic of distrust during his round the world taking expedition on our teeth to see if that's if they continue to russian and why big island stay tuned to watching. we are now experiencing the end of the thirty year bull market in bonds which means are entering a period of rising interest rates and so the urgency to get deals done before the any cost is applied toward finance or whatsoever needs to happen quick. i predict in the next twenty four months we're going to see the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever in history by a factor of ten as just thirty or forty percent of everything that's traded out

there gets gobbled up and taken from. us. ok god it was a. great. day . one of the most noticeable trends in modern politics is a renewed resentment of the outsider it may be logical under logically

understandable as an explosive reaction to globalization is economic side effects are out of control migration but all too often legitimate concerns and fears tend to devolve into rank as you know you know phobia which left unchecked or even weaponized turns into outright violence and bigotry one author however has come up with his own remedy to this epidemic of distrust and writes about it in hitchhiking in the axis of evil johnstone earlier sat down with the author juan pablo very you know to hear more about his experience. on publicly useless for joining me today. i want to start by talking about your hitchhiking the axis of evil book because this is like a fasting title and i know it's already been well over ten years over twelve years now since you had these experiences i think they're still relevant to what's happening in the middle east and just to start what motivated you to do this journey willing from turkey to afghanistan yes unfortunately still in this sorry i

mean the book for this particular historical moment in context because of the old ongoing events and we all know so in the beginning i was a psychology student. i e decided to go around the world with the precise idea of documenting hospitality a some way to counterbalance all those two types that were becoming. around countries like syria iran and afghanistan especially after the nine eleven on the axis of evil state of the union speech so i followed that because i haven't been to hitchhiking wrong many other countries and that i could take these knowhow try to find a to do you say he said tool to get myself exposure to people in these countries and to shoulder the different angle us to lessen the levels of paranoia around these countries and make sense yeah of course and. let's start with a what were your expectations going into it so of course it was many people worried about my whereabouts and of my my trip by the wall i had time enough for

a year to research. even though i knew there was some goes to show for risk a serious risk involved in progress in certain regions such a central afghanistan for example or even northern iraq with me completely safe so in order to actually follow and be consistent with the premise that was like finding hospitality and showing the ninety nine point nine percent of the people were able to give you this amazing and magnificent hospitality towards a stranger. they need to go through these regions too so i was hoping to fulfill my expectations and didn't have any grounds on which to phone them but it seemed to me . that there had to be something pretty different from a we were being told on t.v. every day. and so when the when you got to syria men in the book you talk a lot about having a fondness for syria this is before the revolution before the civil war and all the internet well it's become an international war frankly where we know that the

saudis and others a point money into the rebels and the you know the cia sponsored them and all this stuff so basically when you were there before all that what was your experience like which with syria which has a big middle had a big middle class before the war and what was the you know your experience of the police state and the you know the local feeling if you know was it you know was an antagonistic opposed to bush or whatever people just living their lives so i had to say syria was like them one of the most gentle countries and societies i have been to it was during this trip. i mean by the time of the country with an injury crying over the border from an invasion. so most of the people they had met because i was a huge child and run them in meeting people from all walks of life so late teachers farmers of the host i mean the bill each students were rather supportive of. presidency and even though i would i could point out to them that some flaws with things i wouldn't consider completely democratic from my own background where i

come from they wouldn't actually. they wouldn't seem to be longing for a change in the way that the west obsessive it turns and both of them they would like yeah point out to the fact that he belongs to that with a minority of islam which only represents fifteen percent of the people. but they were not i don't consider the syria and solve what's on trucks on the way to such as the war that we're witnessing today haven't even for the fact of a foreign power you know providing financial. just because he since you were little i don't for sure like old people they made light you know they they were carry on they get old just normalise every day lives. keats respect in the early and just a good gentle society around me and that's why holding memories of syria which are hard to share because the people now control see it just brings up images of flight chaos and war and terrorism unfortunately on terrorism which has nothing to do with things like witness i mean of course they the kurdish with negrete because i was

totally wrong the kurdish areas and they had some issues there but. i don't think that what is going on now actually improves things and that's why i still like the syrian armed forces which are like consist of eighty five percent of sunni. muslims are still blocking because they would rather you know i'm not saying that they do that completely but they were actually they had when this white house up in media on iraq with the so-called arab spring and that has already brought to that you know this peroration. has left you've got a buck whom empower the actually i don't know groups isis to bring to dissent so people can know what they're risking if they're you know exactly so you're saying that even the syrian soldiers are mostly sunni even though assad himself is part of the you know this is a shia actually it's a sub sub group within the shia but they're still backing him because they want

stability and they want their state to very exotic their report magic and they want their they just want like safety and study of the around them and they know that in the course of events eventually it's going to end up well it has already ended up in a tree and with foreign powers siding you know against the government exactly and then i mean we'll talk about iraq and the kurds because obviously the kurds are a major factor in the region but first iran i mean that you went to iran and that's a country that now obviously. under no more scrutiny and increasing sanctions but what was your experience like from the perspective of you know the people the government are that are the people really ready for a revolution if america is putting pressure and sanctions is that can actually help the revolutionaries inside the country the people that are free thinkers actually get you know actually get the revolution that they want or is it going to make things worse so i actually get to talk to a lot of people who are writers theater director of intellect or is an artist even

though the situation for then on the environment in the context of. a sort of police regime in a way can be challenging they all they made it clear to me that they didn't want to us to get into their into their affairs but the relation in any case should come from the inside and the just wanted to issue the business from slows so they want to know are they expecting. an army from outside to come and so there probably is and that's something pretty consistent with all the tradition of the bush and some of the station because it's like a huge hole with no show gold this you know ability to decide on this so this is a stage that they're going through and i don't think by the way some countries which are actually not able to perform full democracy at home and the truth in turn to teach them how to bring things alive so. yeah i think you know. did you feel the police state presence when you were in iran i mean

how much of a police state did you sense that you that you feel the morality police and you feel like sort of this surveillance and the danger of speaking out or you know violating the laws was you know very serious in iran sure i mean like the people that however i was in touch with like a lot of them most of them writers and intellectuals they really had to take care of what they were bright in some other remember a girl who was the go punk rock singer or a wannabe punk rock singer and she wouldn't be able to perform. in that. to an audience. consists only of women so but i think it has a lot to do with their own version of islam. and a lot of many other factors but i do think that the iranian society right now has through and through instance ups of criticism and go through that you know but not through you know nobody means of affording to our engine yes that's what i perceive

. the way we mention it right now yourself that there is this difference between islam as practiced from one country to the next that i know for myself from traveling and studying these things that there's a misperception that we have in many western countries that islam is monolithic almost like the catholic church as though there is one islam and yet you've seen yourself what is the main you know what are the differences that people would not expect when they think of it muslims as like well you know they mistreat women in you know they have like very you know no there's no alcohol all there is no sexuality it's very like puritanical you know religion and i'm sure terry religion you went to the all these different countries tell us about some of the impressions that you had along the way sure so that coming from a western country myself first it was a bit challenged by the differences but i soon they found they go this way there was a huge regional differences between countries whereas for example in turkey people were telling me like i was pointing to them all but you're doing it on the whole

and they told me something like. yeah but you know like the closest we get the further. we move from the planet say the most from them into their home of islam actually the closer we get to the actual spirit of the ground that was of the perception of the cornish people they're sort of the turkish people but then like i really didn't sense like sometimes i was being hosted by people of farmers or people from all walks of life and i was in the late inside their homes. it's hard it's a it's a complicated matter but you can't expect like the wall just to abate your own concept of freedom so i wouldn't see just women you know crying number of being whipped around the house or i personally i had this impression of of a gentle you know environment within the houses but of course then when i'm coming coming back to the issue of artists and intellectuals and then i think it's for their present regime should be able to provide more spaces for individual you know

expression so that i think we should come to terms that with a compromise solution between the business of the people who actually don't require that there's a lot of people who have observed this cultural guidelines and are fine in the ways in their own way of observing islam. another threat is plaguing the residents of hawaii's big island this is residents are growing weary being away from their homes for weeks now artist natasha sweet has the latest from our west coast bureau. smoldering hot lava has now injured one person from the volcano and now after lava has made its way to the ocean officials are warning residents of lay's laze since plumes of hydrochloric acid and steam as well as find gas particles into the air officials are now asking coastal residents to evacuate and avoid the area and now the first no injury from a third to represent occurred over the weekend on saturday a homeowner of naani farms rose shattered his left leg from his sin to his foot when lava struck him according to hawaii county mary harry kim's office

a spokeswoman confirmed that lava spatters can weigh as much as a refrigerator and even some small pieces can kill and now there are hardly three hundred people at three different shelters over the weekend with more than two thousand evacuated from their homes actually we evacuated twice in the last two weeks and then when it took a slight turn we decided to come back home and. here we are so hoping for the best hoping that it ends in. kind of scary times you know to be quite honest. there's not a whole lot else we can do but be here and just wait it out along the estate's sits in a zone the u.s. geological survey deems to have the highest risk of lava flow so far more than four hundred structures have been consumed evacuated residents are allowed to return during the day to check on their homes and alba lava has shut down a four mile section of the highway one thirty seven and this blocks one of the main escape routes for coastal residents will be on edge possibly for

a year or it's not going to end in that we might be able back in a week. but the threat will be there for her it's always there but it's even more severe of a threat. at least twenty three fissures have formed along the north east south west line in the red zone and as the uncertainty remains over what the killer whale volcano will bring residents from maine on alerts in los angeles and suites. and that is our show for you today remember everyone to take care of each other out there. as my co-host always says i love you on top of the always have a great day and night everyone. anyone else chose seemed wrong. why don't we just don't hold. any

of these yet to shape out these days to come out today. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i was afraid. that the american american policy of unique. american policy of. companies can be successful to.

the headlines here on r t the us and secretary of state issues twelve demands to iran. president and financial pressure if it doesn't comply. these will indeed end up being the stronger sanctions in history and we are complete. italy is on course to become the euro zone's only country ruled by euro skeptics as two populist parties come together to present the president with their radical program. and after claims the f.b.i. infiltrated his two thousand and sixteen election campaign the justice department's inspector general expands an investigation into whether inappropriate surveillance

took place. so you can head over to our web site for more on those stories i'll be back with headlines in about an hour's time right now though. efforts to save the syllabus. welcome to sophie and colmes sophie shevardnadze the american pullout out of the iran nuclear deal is causing a headache to the european guarantors off the treaty in case of germany's threatening firms that made a large investment in iran will berlin and the e.u. deal with this well i asked. former vice president of the european commission. washington scuttling of the iran nuclear deal that's taken europe by surprise

german business in the middle eastern country now under threat of renewed american sanctions maybe turning to russia to keep the nuclear agreement on board can be on debacle restore broken times between russia and germany will occur injuries be able to mount a concerted effort to maintain the nuclear deal and will it be enough to save it for her again former vice president of the european commission welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us today. had a selfie good to see you so after trump took america out of the it on deal which wayne said here a pm companies a need on maybe subjects to american sanctions they fired back actually writing a law that would block european companies from complying with us to say on it on any our opinion who is going to out sanction who hear the united states or hear of . the three. d. americans have to biggest stick here if you will know you'll be in company or drug

comical for instance and you will look at the figures of what kind of business are you doing and you know what kind of business are you doing in the united states do you have that much choice and you will decide to not to invest in your. continue to invest into big business in the u.s. and if the european union really promise to compensate for all the losses. i can promise you that goes far beyond the financial capacities of the european union that i will be afraid that the american american policy of unique union that the election the american policy of taking hostage other nations and companies can be successful at the end so they see european statutes that has been activated prohibits companies from cancelling their

business with it on due to american sanctions so say that if i do european company it on i have to suffer the consequences brought on to me by the americans and if i quit on them e.u. will go after me doesn't this put kompany is between the devil and the deep blue sea how is that making their life easier annoy i don't think that the problem is. all of the companies. in india are on the problem is that the promise that went with. the deal was that we would do more and how to develop the economy. to increase their living standard of people that would mean much much more investment than we have done in the past and what i have said is and i would like to the peat that you cannot expect new major investment in the coming four major

companies in particular those who are. who are leading in technology and innovation and i was really afraid that the american american action was will calculate it and we have no real defense against it so regardless of europe's countermeasure still he's saying the deal will survive without the americans i think it could it depends very much on the. between the gun to countries in particular. china and do you hope to european countries as far as i can see the are committed to it to do everything they can to keep the dealer life for the people in iran of course the question will be does it be at the end of that i can or cannot see but what we can see is this

deal is clearly the deed and this idiot in jeopardy is the whole system of nuclear and on put it fully should not only in the middle east but everywhere and it might change the whole security. which should have only serious busy busy a serious situation. and this is extremely important to augur nice cooperation between the us or. of the dia because i have already mentioned in order to create a count of eight so in the wake of the united states decision on it on donald tusk says that with friends like us you don't need enemies and trump said the same can be said about a you are us any you enemies from now on. absolutely not i must

say. well and i like him very much and normally he is not using strong words. of us it is surprise so my understanding was that he was. about the communication is the american wouldn't use the term enemy but it is obvious. but the ship between the united states and do you opinion is entering a new new age it's it's not like it wasn't. more or less the americans at the europeans shit the same use. except it that americans have to do to ship. to the americans. enough

to provide security i think that's finished that's finished and be need to leave the fine. ship and the only thing i would like to see is i know it's be in you'll be should not make the mistake to believe that the presidency of donald trump is just. a short short living mistake. i'm afraid that trump is screw presenting america much more than obama group was and to do america should be a well this policy will probably continue with the america i mean the america first policy so the french finance minister is calling on the european leaders to defend europe's economic sovereignty from the united states now at the same time he and his german colleagues are courting their u.s. counterparts the new chain trying to get exceptions for their a company's from the looming sanctions so kind of sour and it is this if europe is

repeatedly finding itself in betting positions towards the united states. you know it's the old the old problem the discussion is really old. how to do is to americans and a different view is. more common than you need to have to have to work i have to confess and i'm not surprised because the french interests and the german interest a different you know it's not the same. institution it's did not manage. to create a common position and my my view is that would be difficult visibility difficult do we want to have to create a trade war with united states and united states is the strongest economic partner for you opinion and vice versa. very much dependent on each as or.

there will be no winner no winner. in a trade war and my view is it should be avoided as much as we can because not except that the americans dictate the terms of the business to be it has to be partnership but as long as they do not know whether the partnership is clearly finished should try. to keep it alive so in germany who was previously slammed by the united states for failing to pay its share of to percent of its g.d.p. to the nato budget tromp now assess member countries must pay four percent of their g.d.p. to nato is your money planning to meet this target if almost nobody viewer up is even meeting the two percent area how is washington going to make everyone pay for i can tell you that a strong majority.
