it go you people their rights back but does boris johnson have a point in one sense you mentioned gallagher justin trudeau didn't allow thousands of venezuelans to vote in their consulate so we should thousand in a travesty in itself that is as far as i understand it it's a complete contravention of the vienna convention on the magic relations it is sovereign territory you can't tell somebody they can't do something about it and miss it. canada said that they were going to stop those people from voting how they did it i'm not sure whether they actually put people in front of the doors or not however there are only six thousand acts that vendors are going to act on canada. with an abstention rate of forty eight percent fifty truck out remember which one of the truth that they're so similar you know only three thousand of those will probably go to vote anyway so it makes very little difference to a country that's going to have has a population of twenty million and again it's political these are all countries

that are more upset with the fact that you have a very leftist distributed government because while. the country is the other countries you mention canada brazil has gone from left to right argentina has gone from left to right so it's true that all that he went through are very very anti then not socialist governments and it's a saying reason that people always condemn chavez in my view just finally and briefly when you talk to ordinary venezuelans they wanted to vote for the ones that use were diverted from a door despite the fact the united states seems to be threatening oil sanctions if the duro one. well i mean the voters i suppose there would not be people who wish to vote from a juror. i mean obviously you're not really allowed to ask you when you go forward you can say would you like to tell me you're going to vote for and you know that it

was an extended visit so it wasn't all the matter but the thing is. they're very proud nation and that for for decades latin america has being run by it the cia it forms. a different description and when they have a country and a president and the previous president triggers where we actually want to take back our sovereignty be a sovereign nation it adds to that fire and so yes as i mentioned sanctions have been put in place other sciences being threatened though no doubt be more sanctions let me. it does one or two when it goes out thank you for the break. as the u.k. government announces plans to accelerate fracking in britain we always pull the number ten advisor professor peter styles about whether to expect earthquakes in

england and when this week's news plans hold back you know that goes on the man who's frankly boiling over about a biased be all the more going to go through of going underground. we've all gotten used to it the media hate trump and the president returns the favor in kind how is this mutually charged hate fest changed media and journalism just some corporate liberal media report the news anymore and is journalism making big profession in the service of partisanship.

welcome back while u.k. prime minister theresa may plows ahead with plans for fracking in britain the un weighs in tomorrow with a report on fracking implications for the paris climate agreement which attempts to avert global destruction the u.n. report is also set to outline potential earthquake risk posed by fracking joining me now is professor peter stiles forward visor duke a prime minister david cameron and an expert in applied and environmental geo physics professor styles been thanks for coming on going underground even the u.s. geological survey admits that there is some quake risk but it's incredibly rare what were you telling m.p.'s in about twenty four hours well the earth quake risk i work for forty years on earth chris induced by mining coal mining that is and a variety of places from south wales. through stoke where i'm now in yorkshire so mining activity is capable of causing earthquakes it's actually in fact causing this issue which are bigger than the want which are caused by fracking two thousand

and eleven. fact i'm one of the few people who have actually monitored fracking in the u.k. as i monitored with a ph d. student two thousand before in the one nine hundred ninety s. with b.p. carried out he said sorry a great cause by fracking means that the companies deny the grander the they do except that oh yes that is. on in two thousand and eleven there were a sequence of grades associated with the very first roughly. and i monitored those together with the british geological survey and produced a report for government now let's be sure let's be clear these are a quick switch on a global scale those people in earthquake prone countries would laugh at but they have caused concern. and the government reacted on the basis of our report and put a limit of north point five magnitude on the earthquake which could be generated by fracking before fracking had to either stop temporarily or possibly even completely

. the issue is unopened siva is extremely small and can be produced by a fault which is only about fifty meters long and has a displacement of only about a meter now when we're looking for those faults we use seismic reflection techniques which are standard industry exploration techniques they cannot see faults of that size so why was point five put it a limit in the first place ok there is a there is a russian out of that and that if you look globally particularly us after the earthquake it's caused by various tectonic effect in other words what we call natural breaks and induced good pics there is a transition north point five that looks. above that we are actually stimulating thoughts to move. and those files are probably already in existence the news that we're probably cause in local cracking within the rock which is what fracking is so

there is a distinction but at no zero point five but we recommended no point five when you started to get concerned. the government in this wisdom at the time which was dec decided that was the point at which they would stop now there is a different we recognise that opened fire was important i guess they were intending to be cautious but they decided that no point five would be the eventual limit to which a race could have been a spate of reports recently there were one thousand quakes in oklahoma people talking about seismic activity there south korea one of their worst earthquakes which indeed or displaced hundreds of people but even those scientists saying with south korea one it was a scientist from glasgow university. who were in. germany they said there may be a connection that was a geothermal well right that was a different kind of well anyway i was asked people do you realise the fracking is

actually involved in geothermal energy because i give a lot of talks a lot of people actually. believe that only oil related activity fracking. do you turn and he does too. because. what you're trying to do is produce past with this rock now in granite where you get your terminology there are no pathways naturally anyway so you're from granite so it's a process which has a variety of uses and if you like. the one which is drawn much it must tension of course has to do with shell gas before you get your possible solutions we invited quadrille and any others on leather available to come on with the government says the sector is governed by one of the safest was environmentally sound well regulated systems in the world and and the u.k. has over sixty years experience in regulating on shore oil and gas what you think there is. offshore is very good on show there's not been a great deal on trolling gas regulated. and i can tell you that through the whole

of yorkshire we're mining is taking place ok we have much more detailed maps of thoughts from the surface you cannot see a fault i'm generous here ok you cannot see a fault which has a displacement of five meters. now five metre thought has the capability of producing an earthquake far exceeding the threshold far exceed far exceeding what we actually have probably. whereas we can map folks down to a few centimeters underground and those those faults are marked we know where the are and they are nearly seven hundred metres closer to where the fracking will take place than the measurement at the surface. so i actually contest whether they do know. the factual data using unless i'm wrong is b.p. data which was many many years ago it's quite rudimentary by today's standards and

today's standards can only lose all five because you see the governor getting a bit tired of this business actually greg clarke said that we should be going with fracking which i should say there are tax breaks on to the taxpayer is actually subsidizing it and saying that in fact instead of instead of fracking being like something in the planning commission for it should be called committed development and should be able to far be fast tracked would you agree with that so i'm not ideologically opposed to fracking believe me right because i believe the u.k. should seek a sustainable source of gas for itself rather than importing it from all sorts of other places and i won't name them. but i have said i've given more than one hundred lectures in the us and almost all such as i've said all of these basins run off shore the boland basin runs into the irish sea why did we not start as we've done with which farm which farm house it well on show but all the oil and gas is extracted offshore because it's cheaper it's not any different different the well

doesn't know whether it's under water under or you could actually have the wellhead on the show but you have to fracking could to place offshore ok so what do you want buffer zones of some well and not two or five pounds additional this is not just me in two thousand and four there was a report done for d.t.i. by various people including the geological survey and professor several durcan from the period college looking at unconventional energy sources and they recommended that they should be a five hundred meter set back from work to areas of the will from old panels of clothes so this is this was recommended in two thousand and four but was never an option and now i found that you can recommend things to government but they don't necessarily take notice of them reza be discussed thank you thank you. but someone who thinks he knows more than all the skeptical experts and academics

on the subject of fracking is a broadcaster former liberal democratic member of parliament lembit opec is here to go through some of the week's stories lembit you obviously want to maybe destroy all human and plant life on the earth fossil fuels. and where do you get the energy everything has consequences coal mining nuclear power for example even turbines on hilltops have yeah consequences so obviously so that's just do it all let's go to the all the really really the obvious is seen the report well the psychologist are you funding fracking a nuclear weapon manufacturing you've put the same to provoke me fracking is. one of the solutions to our energy deficit we haven't got enough ways to get all the energy that you ecologist and i presume you are one of them i mean you one way out of her all the electric vehicles if we go on to electrify our society you have to double the energy output to something like one hundred thirty five gigawatts this is one of the solutions of course the story goes deeper than that the ecologist is

also pointing out something quite interesting they're saying that various banks fail you if you want to ethically invest and they're pointing out that some of the banks invest in nuclear weapons manufacturing now there's a whole precedent for that as well this is something called hypothecation in a way in hypothecation you only pay taxes for the things you agree with and don't pay taxes for the things you don't can you really do that with banking investment well there i think all investors go to them in that case because most banks spread bet and some of the things they spread back on you might not like a great system so you think that tracking of the way forward even if it causes earthquakes and climate change if you don't want fracking then give me a credible alternative nuclear power could do it but i'm not sure i've seen you on that i don't think the ecologist likes that look this is about banking let's go into this about people who have no chance of getting a bank account little in any deposit amount in the bank public sector executive

support local author or it is enhanced powers right for misuse for convicting hundreds of homeless youth figures show now get this first of all of all homelessness has gone up by a massive amount it went to zero in windsor over the weekend because of the royal wedding when they were all kicked out their positions taken by the police i think the police saying that some of the owners in windsor will have them back now pretty sure they are they married but only you don't go on but if they haven't left under these rules they could have been fined up to a thousand pounds a begging that's think about that just so poor. or you're begging but you're going to pay a fine then you can get banged up in prison for it i suppose the authorities could say was better than sleeping on the street i'm not sure that this is carol servitors i'm not one of those are you this only works if you think that punishing people gets them back on the straight and narrow and i don't buy that. ok well

certainly punishment has been the charge against the israeli government as the mainstream media forgotten about the story with thousands of dead or injured in gaza and the west bank let's go to this tweet you might have to explain it to our international viewers who don't do frankie boyle is one of the great comedians of the rage some people think some would say he is certainly one of the great celebrity comedians in the united kingdom quite edgy with his humor now he says that his humor was edited let me quote precisely there were of course various steps in this week's new world order monologue about the situation in gaza he says and about israel being an apartheid state edited out for reasons nobody has yet explained to me despite assurances to the contrary the state mandated b.b.c. he is claiming the b.b.c. politically edited these out there's no other way to interpret it and he's asking why they saw this episode of new world order and hear david baddiel on who was talking about jeremy corbyn and legit anti semitism on

a show about garza you're right the inference is by this editing if this is what's happened that it wasn't acceptable to make a joke like that which was perhaps anti israel in some of reggae world jokes. that work will be more there when there are jokes is people might want to sell it i should say we did call the b.b.c. up meanwhile i think we can all celebrate the confirmation hearing of the new head of the cia except this guy who lives in moscow who didn't even go to the ceremony used to work there edward snowden up to his old tricks again after he says this no gina hospital participated in the torture program that involved beating an innocent pregnant woman stomach ainley raping a man with meals he tried to refuse and freezing a shackled prison until he died she personally wrote the order to destroy ninety two tapes of cia torture of course snowden he's not there the favored son of the cia he's the bad boy who ran off to moscow. what he's saying i think some of it is

corroborated as i say said that as the new head of the cia she won't be torturing people she was a bit equivocal when asked whether donald trump would if he told her to torture people what he or she would do what we know what donald trump thinks he said congratulations to our new cia director gina hospital where he's bound to say that but on the record for supporting torture and that he wants far harsher torture fits very comfortably together here but there's a slight confusion because we're told she's had something of a chance formation on the road to the cia and she's got new views on this but it doesn't take away her past and past behavior is a good indicator of future behavior a lot of people would say so maybe this is exactly the kind of person a president who isn't entirely about to torture was like in this kind of position i think this one is probably going to come back to bite the ministration if she didn't destroy all the tapes let me know vic thank you and i should say to viewers

of the rather near daily mail and scott just guardian both reported over the weekend on suppose connections between this program and the trump campaign via we can be leaks while it is true that julian assange has been on this program and so is former trump national security advisor michael flynn and trump advisor carter page we have ascertained no connections between them as for this program being part of a conspiracy to elect president trump as detailed in the twenty seventeen us director national defense intelligence report we again deny all allegations and that's it for the shoulder back on saturday with details from days of u.k. prime minister's questions until then you can keep in touch with us by social media see on saturday one hundred thirty four years to the eve of the birthday of czech journalist max board without whom we might never have had the works of franz kafka . i've been saying the numbers mean some matter. the u.s. has over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen

each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be all for rich with six percent market saw thirty percent just 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 ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one just shows you can't afford to miss the one and only.

the woman poisoned in the u.k. alongside a double agent father gives a first major interview since the incident saying i like being turned upside down and that she wants to return to russia. korea is up to close it's only nucleotides part of the dog came to the us we've been given bread or access and i correspondent is reporting back on the route to that place and as you can see behind me we're being greeted like celebrities here of those who go to north korea. us ambassador to israel controversially poses with an altered photo of jerusalem with one of the most sacred muslim sites. removed and replaced by

a jewish place of worship cause a lot of fuss about we'll tell you about it. and germany admits that close to two thousand far right extremists they have made me illegal possession of a firearm. this is r.t. hello wednesday night ten pm here in moscow my name is kevin and here with this half hour news bulletin for you and we begin with developments in the u.k. this evening where yulia script is given a first media interview since she was poisoned along with her father the former russian double agents of gays group well they were found unconscious on a park bench in the english city a soulsby wilcher on march the fourth more details from a london correspondent honest to say a church. now in this particular media appearance she does give a statement to reuters news agency of an undisclosed location in london so her

whereabouts are being kept under wraps and she appears to make a brief statement in russian which then she provides in written form in both russian and english to waiters and in the statement among other things she says that she is going to eventually be returning to her homeland of russia but not quite yet as reasonable a bit as a child to come to terms with the devastating changes thrust upon me both physically and emotionally i take one day at a time and want to help care for my dad to his full recovery in the longer term i hope to return home to my country well paul importantly had also said that her recovery had been slow and extremely painful and that she for now will not be turning to the services of the russian embassy again as a reminder this has been something that russian authorities had offered over and over again to the script palls any kind of cooperation or being able to get access

to them which according to russia they should have been able to do given the conventions that exist on matters on this issue but there's not much else that she did say she only made that very brief statement and then did not answer any questions on camera this is definitely quite a development since this became the first media appearance that yulia script call has made ever since that poisoning took place on march fourth when this whole saga unraveled created creating a massive route between the u.k. and russia and of course this was the first time we're seeing a video of. her father said there's also currently out of the hospital so now the next step we should be expecting is some kind of statements or information or appearance that he could possibly be making next. russia's foreign ministry has looked to reassure you liz saying it's been trying to get in contact with her and also her father since that poisoning attack we want u.s.

crew panta now there wasn't a day that they russian foreign ministry the russian embassy in london didn't try to contact her the main goal was to ensure she's not being kept against her will that it wasn't another person posing as her to get firsthand information about her condition and her father's. health korea is gearing up to close its nuclear test site in the country's remote northeast as you see on the map there have been six nuclear bomb test sites there tends since two thousand and six which are carried out inside a mountain is the world's last officially active nuclear test site where north korea is described how it's going to attempt to dismantle that site says they'll be controlled explosions hopefully to collapse all those tunnels are the result of the entrance blocks the entrance being blocked off basically after that they say the above ground facilities will be destroyed as well check this out some changes already been observed by experts on the satellite images to contrast with taken in april and then earlier this month building to buildings been demolished together with a railway line if you look really carefully well archy's artie's egos down off is

among a group of international journalists who set out on a really arduous journey to see that nuclear facility shut firsthand areas. work early on a train somewhere midway from one son to the nuclear test we don't even know the exact summation as to where we go we don't the name of the station so the train itself in the first class means you have compartments and notices that all. are shocked the blinds are shut off because from any. all of the train journeys carry on board the train have an eleven hour trip in total with all the windows covered for the duration of the journey they're also given strict instructions to not to open the blinds then to get to the remote mountain area crews spend several hours traveling by bus and then after that finally with all the kit to an hour on foot to get to the site before boarding the train to go

centers his report documenting his journey from china to north korea's once on. we're in the beijing international airport and as you can see behind me we're being greeted like celebrities the of those who go to north korea we've been here for the past couple of days and all john the spots of this press tour have been amassed in the chinese capital because that's where we got our visas that's what we where we got our tickets and now we will be proceeding to check in to our flights those are the windows that we're waiting for the personnel and so i'll be signing off for you hopefully greeting you from north korea itself next time so this is the choreo flights we will be taking to get inside north korea thing is we aren't even exactly sure as to where exactly we're headed because according to our media to documents we're going to the southern port city of one sound but according to our boarding passes we're headed to the north korean capital pyongyang so i guess the north the

option but to find out on board the plane. at the same time it seems to you know if we're going to pyongyang or to once on. one somehow i think it. is so there are roughly twenty john that's here on this plane and so as we're going to one son i just want to keep up with clips of what's going on on board would be given out press releases like this one for example the pyongyang times it's mostly about politics but also features pieces like recipes for those rights that month or in the case also we've been given and this is very very kind of colorful a colby a magazine which features everything from the latest one as to what's been going on like the like will be on the supreme leader of north korea but also pirate beaches around mosul young and the like to pieces like the ones for example the bullets

he'll be beat. so you walk out of any airports what's the first thing you expect to see it's a bustling crowd of people pushing and shoving it's the taxi drivers offering their often overpriced services well check this out nothing of this sort here it's just an empty parking lot and three buses that will take us to the city. this is a. very rare. start

but this. is quite nice me time following her on twitter inviting you to check out what he's posting about for us all the details and photos from the reclusive country whenever possible you don't see too much of it's a good opportunity find out what kind of food you might expect to see in north korea two and eight never look around those local hotel to see what they're like. america's ambassador to israel has come in for criticism after he was seen posing with a rather controversial gift david friedman was presented with a photograph of one of the most sacred places in jerusalem but the image had been altered to show the jewish third temple on the site where the islamic the dome of the rock is currently situated it's not gone down well the third temple is a biblical reference to a new place of worship to replace an ancient one which was destroyed now the u.s. embassies asked for an apology saying the envoy was unaware that he was being given a doctored picture the region still reeling of course from those deadly protests

against the relocation of that embassy to jerusalem just last week is our middle east correspondent paula slayer. the photograph immediately sparked fierce criticism from the muslim world saba erica who is the secretary general of the palestine liberation organization the p.l.o. there's a friedman expressed to quote rude and hypocritical behavior you then have the tb who is an arab israeli law maker and comes from the israeli arab dominated political alliance called the joint let's and he has responded to the photographs by saying that this madman wants to bring peace a good thing you didn't put the embassy there at the same time we're hearing that the american ambassador has apologized friedman must not the word of the image thrust in front of him when the photo was taken he was deeply disappointed that anyone would take advantage of his visit to create controversy the u.s. policy is absolutely clear we support the status quo.
