well let's just get. rid of the shadows almost soon opt. life is a chemical widely used to kill we. listen to those who want a little service like to be old to be early because. they use drugs retain the runs off possible contamination that. had occurred to just scientists proof that gene context really awful on the human race to sign a surface to wells free of g.m. and chrysler state which may even be able to see as we pass the points of never send. these we continue to discuss only about some amateurs of the maastricht. six bods i know we don't we are nothing to give to the next generation our reason for which to be proud to be utopian these is

the reason all of us kept. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. more so more want to be rich. but you'd like to be closer to see what the before tree of the more than people get . interested always in the waters about how. there should.

welcome back to the kaiser for imax gys are time now to turn to alina noah she is the co-founder of tres door welcome thank you let's talk about fraser for a second what is it so hard will it secure secure bitcoin without you having to have an all each of security and creeps in and creating backups ok we'll get to that more about the second now we met at the first big point conference the very first book on conference in prolog in twenty eleven and what brought you to that event and how did it change your life at that time i was studying diplomacy focused on international economy relationships let's say and i was writing a thesis about international monetary system in the current imbalances that was shortly after the big crisis in two thousand and eight that was two thousand and ten eleven and i was researching let systems in local currencies in as d.r.

and trying to look for an alternative way to create money that would be sound and i found out about bitcoin and then you've been speaking at the at the conference so my friend just invited me say hey mike skies is going to be their site so that's very cool oh yes and we had a great time at that conference and twenty eleven a lot of people were there that went on to start businesses in your case treasurer and toshi labs and so getting more specific what inspired you to build trays or i think there's a bit of a story there as well correct well there is a story there there were some attempts to create a hard will it be for my team jumped on me by some german professor who never fail to fail to do that and so my partner spiral in and monica it's a smart guy so i felt like a why don't we try and we both basically hobby project back then. we did the

crowdfunding on beat coin. that helped us do the basic r. and d. and development ship pip the first few thousands and then we took off as a company we set new standards for personal security rights just for people maybe enough really with the treasure or has become like the industry standard almost i mean people always talk about tres r.'s become part of the argo of the crypto space but just walk through how it actually works as a piece of hardware and what happens is how does it work ok so it's an offline computer basically what he does is basically generates your private key sing a secure environment and then he signs transactions that's what he does and supports myriad of different currencies and so do use it to you just plug it into your computer prepare your transaction on the on the computer screen. or to to scientists or section of my thousands of you shipped i'm not telling that a lot. a lot

a lot ok well let's move on you know people want to own big coin they learn about individual economic sovereignty is actually a very difficult thing to secure literally many mom and pop investors have been piling into purely for speculation. but what is your warning or advice on keeping these coins safe oh there's plenty there's plenty well first started off to purchasing any hardware wallets any any type you choose that's fairly now and then to stick by buy time and by users it's a good good way to start. if you happen to be one of the early beat cleaners or one of the big investors. i would probably advice to be quite it's about how much cryptocurrency own that's a satellite and then that's kind of like a general rule individual sovereignty what does that mean to you freedom. from for . i was born in chicago slovakia but in a country spencer's

a political turmoil yes and also from a very top heavy state level top down and so this idea of individual sovereignty is not necessarily it's hard for a lot of americans to accept even that they accept the fact that they would need individual sovereignty they do quite obviously but in other countries it may be the case for this is even more of an obvious case it would you would you is there a can you comment on that. it may be true that you know you know the history where you grow up shape your views and you know opinions on life and for me personally i prefer to be. responsible for my own stuff and not be babysit. companies governments so this is pretty much. the why i love beat coin and why i love the currencies and walked into qualities because it's

one way to achieve these kind of freedom it's interesting the way that because i'm has evolved in different countries for different reasons you know i'm thinking about venezuela and argentina there's a use case there because their currencies are in free fall in some countries where there's a more of a top heavy bureaucratic you know overlay of politically there's a need to have a more unique expression of individual sovereignty for some countries they're just out of the banking system clearly countries in africa they've been left out completely all these countries all over the world have found salvation in going for different reasons you're of course on the side of security and how has security of big point evolved and where is it going i think it's going towards more usability so we see a lot of implementations where people just click next next next and that's that's how we try to design as are so. oh my mother eventually would be able to set it up

and use it without having to understand because. we will see a lot of signature implementations to get it we've hardware wallets or without. you know i think just make all these technology all the security work in the background so we don't need to actually understand or see what's happening what about on the institutional level and for corporations you know they take a position that might be a billion dollars worth of state for example the states now that were once critical of bitcoin are nothing about buying it going because they see it as a way to escape the u.s. dollar and the gemini that comes at the u.s. dollar one of the security solutions for them is a tryst or inappropriate can get a government put a billion dollars a big point of trust or really. i would only say like you always choose the security set up that's appropriate to the purpose so if you need to made

payments then tears are obviously is not a good good way to go because there's a requires you to actually push the button so for automated larch volume transaction for exchanges there are other solution using sim modules and so on. but if you are a fund or and beacon of a server or corporation or whatever investing a lot of money just wanting to keep it safe that perfectly fine solution we've been keeping the company's crypto on my own private crypto on the terms or since day one . i remember hearing a story about the winklevoss twins over there at gemini talking about security of their coin how they stripped the private key paper keys into two or three pieces and deposit them in different safe deposit boxes in different locations are late friend matthew mellon also did something similar what do you think about that approach. oh it's great it's called. shared secrets what.

america yeah because shared the gun and i don't know the order of the words. allows you to just take the private key and divide it in several p.c.'s and then you can say ok i will create three pieces and to recover the key i will only need two of the three any two of the three for example and that's probably good way to to distribute your keys on different locations and on have just by you know acquiring the two p.c.'s putting all the all the private key together what's your take on the reaction from the old guard the warren buffett charlie munger paul krugman the old economist nouriel roubini they've really come out and with critical comments on big going and and they're really trying to talk it down what's your take on the word what does a come from work one of the statements or any basis for. first of all there's

a lot of people who really believe in the currency system and i've been working for banking in finance for ten years before crypto. and when i was leaving it my the c.e.o. of the insurance company i worked for he was extremely skeptical and he was making kind of oh we will be fun. and there's these people who worked and lived there didn't really believe that the system works and we should have bailouts and we should have quantity fees ing and we should have all these things. and eventually they also changed their mind. the people that you mentioned probably are having big interest in keeping the status quo because they have billions and trillions of dollars of interest in in the current system so obviously they will not praise be going what's the status right now with women and crept up so round the world you've

got entrepreneurs coming into the space startups all over the all over the world many are women what is the story with women. here's why i want to ask you a question. as a woman. my belief is that the initiation of big going through the genesis block was a very male oriented process. these scaling issues that bitcoin needs to now facilitate an engaged to grow is a uniquely female attribute that women are naturally natural networkers and big coin needs to grow the network therefore i think the leadership a big point in crypto will now be passed to women and women will now lead this revolution to where it has to go your thoughts on what i just said. i think you're probably right to a certain extent. i think you know when you look at the washing machine it's probably invented by

a man but then adopted by women because they have the neat when you look at south korea and the adoption of the queen there there's a lot like basically most of most of the conversions and investments krypto are done by women well i daresay that for example you know japan will mrs watson abi who's the woman who's buying and selling for x. all day long and is moving those markets i mean once she gets a decrypt on a big wave he already is this is having an impact and the technologist if i'm think i'm thinking about you know the. mit lab and start for example is leading a lightning network so i mean this seems to me to be the next generation this is where things are going what would you think that's a fair statement well see well see i'm not really into this topic in particular because i always say between these permission list so whoever wants to jump in and feels like he can participate in being something of his or her qualities in their free to do in housing doing that scene's yes stacy early days are merchant o.g.a.

she was with us she spoke at the two thousand and eleven prague conference and you know she's been. building stuff and doing stuff and so the next. five years for your company where do you see that going it's not my company anymore and left and so it's all show ups but we're still very very good friends. they just released a new model. and i think that will be a game changer once everyone realizes what is going on there. because the do next step is to actually allow a lot of people a lot of developers to create any security applications on top of or using the terms or hardware will it and you can imagine secure messaging. right encrypting every keystroke of your computer you can imagine secure you know sharing of documents and crippin of security protocol to messaging and documents

and other things it isn't a universal or general purpose security device that just encrypts anything it supports several curves so you can basically use it to. my word wedding chocolate chip cookie recipe to keep them out of the hands of the clutter absolutely yeah if you do and they for your cookies yes you'll be totally safe. thank you for protecting my cookies actually before we go tell us about your foundation ok i'm launching a foundation that's called cold blue called emblem dot com. which is dedicated to support research and development on top of bitcoin and by day i mean supporting basic prada calls developing lightning that board developing r.g.b. protocol and all these new things that are coming very excited about i'm trying to pull smart people from this space people that i value that have done. a lot of good

stuff and that they know they're knowledgeable to be able to help new projects with their advice we've contacts and so on and of course i'm looking for money so we're very switching and feels like he wants to throw in the few big quine's from his early investments and help help contributing to the space. of the name of code blue. bloom ah so put the name of that underneath that the all say it and the title they can figure that out well thank you so much for making the guy's report thank you well that's a good for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser and stacy herbert want to thank our special guest alina verno of a co-founder of treasure and now with the foundation code blue what you can see underneath there what that's all about you can catch us on twitter account has a report it's a lifetime bio. you

know. you never know what's around the corner you never know what's in the pub you're going to walk into excitement it's that not knowing that's where the adrenalin much comes from. and you can use a means by definition and the extremes who will support. the violence is a part and it's almost a schizophrenia gang culture where you can do all these things and behave like badly.

important people of course qualify that all political spin also focus on the last one. and this may end in thermal. war and good on policy in the start. of a broader where no five figure out really did a poll down down went up with a good. many reason is that at least if you don't buy the involves it's constantly evolving and. funny enough when in fact it's not quite the you will be shown no it's not me let's look. at what. you know to let me know because. i got up on the field on october. fourth but i

don't know it's going to be. everybody to. us north korea talks might be back on track as donald trump strikes not to mistake timing on the prospect of further dialogue. u.s. lawmakers voted to push the pentagon to investigate american soldiers involvement in interrogations in yemen's secret torture prison plus it. was. israel's to prevent cold really likes the continued use of lethal military force against unarmed palestinians in the gaza strip eighty six palestinians were injured on friday in the eight week about yorkey patient protests that. and muscled in waters off the article in west coast america test

positive for opioids highlighting the scope of a national prescription drug crisis in the u. when. a very warm welcome this is r.t. international coming to you live from moscow only carry. our top story donald trump's historic summit with north korea's kim jong un scheduled for june in singapore might be back on track once again the apparent u. turn comes after the white house called off the meeting on thursday. we'll see what happens with that well we thought that was a very much want to do it we were going to see what. everybody plays you know that you know that better than anybody. while the world continues to come to terms with donald trump's unpredictability and just

a day after he announced of the historic summit in which he would meet with kim jong un in singapore was called off well now he seems to be hinting that it may be back on the table so what changed his mind once again what appears to have been a statement made by north korea in which they said they were still open to meeting and sitting down with the united states at any time now seems particularly sensitive to these statements from north korea his previous decision to cancel the summit was also based on a statement from north korea this is donald trump sadly based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement i feel it is inappropriate at this time to have this long planned meeting now north korea had jumped on mike pence the vice president of the united states and called him a political dummy and that was after he had invoked libya and the toppling of the libyan government in two thousand and eleven as a possible outcome or strategy for the talks you know in addition to statements

north korea has actually released three american prisoners and they've actually gone as far as to blow up their only nuclear test site however it seems that for donald trump words speak louder than actions some people are looking on this and saying that maybe something deeper is going on beneath the surface here perhaps this is what you might call a psychological tactic of attrition donald trump did after all right the art of the deal and it seems like he might be playing hardball in the lead up to a potential meeting or no potential meeting with north korea a lot of unpredictability on the part of the president of united states people wonder what the all. that outcome will be but it seems like only donald trump really knows what's going to happen next who knows what he's up to i suspect least of all donald trump knows what he's up to i mean this is somebody who jumped into that meeting first of all quick of the nefarious upper drainpipes there is no policy behind it this is somebody who is into making headlines and appeasing the

base and yesterday the news to not go down well with his base supporters but he had pulled out of this meeting he had always seen it as a chance to make peace on the korean peninsula which would be world breaking history and i think you saw yesterday you saw all of the dissolving they all have to play misty comes as pyongyang decommissioned it's only nuclear test site and a conciliatory efforts ahead of the original talk date our correspondent was john of was among the small pool of international journalists invited to this ceremony you know only wished it witnessed the destruction itself but also managed to get a little insight into the reclusive country. this is the restaurant car and as you can see it's dinner time we have been promised a ten course banquet also we know that's the part of the journalist pool from asian countries that dining in a separate cause but then you will these more traditional for them and ours was

tailored more along to our tastes. this is where i will be spending the next eleven hours or so my very own oriental express i guess so check out the room the first thing to notice about it is the windows the blinds are shot there is some sort of a seal and we're not allowed to even peek from them never mind film anything. is an air conditioner some beverages but really not much left to do but to go to bed. everybody so we just woke up it's six in the morning but check this out i just want to show you something really quickly they've opened the window blinds are up so we probably means that we're really really close. so we finally arrived this is the dog station we're being told a cylinder now we're up for a bus ride these are the buses that will take us through the next leg of our

journey. and. this is where the buses have taken us behind me is an entrance to one of the tunnels and in a few hours from now it won't exist anymore. right now we're walking to a different tunnel the people here are reassuring us saying that there have been no radiation leaks but many journalists they think that well it's better safe than sorry as you can see some are wearing respirator mosques and some crews have taken . meters with them to this trip which were though confiscated at the customs we were also handed out. these yellow safety helmets inside all tunnels more or less of the say this one is the newest one in athens be used as a tool but still as you can see like all others it is rigged for an explosion.

around this trip we have been made very clear that what we've been treated to end this trip was a privilege not to many people here in north korea to experience it done of reporting from north korea for all to see as he goes down of that he still regularly posting updates from north korea on his twitter page so why don't you check that out. now the u.s. house of representatives has voted to demand the pentagon investigate the alleged involvement of u.s. military personnel in torturing detainees at secret prisons in yemen according to a un report suspects that the sites were exposed to beatings electrocution and sexual violence some were imprisoned in

a metal cell in the sun others were denied medical treatment now there are reportedly eighteen secret torture prisons in yemen and neighboring countries the science are mostly run by one of the main u.s. allies in the region and that's the united arab emirates now those prisons were reported on an investigation by the associated press and their sources at the pentagon acknowledged that u.s. forces had been involved in interrogations but denied any participation or knowledge of abuse however even if that was the case this could still amount to complicity and torture if american personnel interrogated detainees who had been tortured human rights advocates have condemned the reported methods of interrogation the u.s. hasn't learned the lesson their corporate in with forces that are torturing detainees and ripping families apart is not an effective way to fight extremist groups the united arab emirates has officially denied any involvement in running

secret prisons in yemen as well as torturing suspects let's bring in a guest now let's go live to political journalism our also been thank you for joining us on the program tell us your thoughts will the pentagon's investigation report any results. well the idea of them starting an investigation is definitely not new and especially not new concern during the events knowing that the u.s. army and he was. cia has been involved in torture for as long as high i can remember but i can bring up dates and i can regard maybe events of starting from the vietnam war entering into the war on iraq where they had we all know and we have seen the tortures of prison and also going through lebanon for example southern lebanon when twas by their allies by the israeli entity occupied they also had the detention center on one side the tension center were tortures were a normal thing to do now when we go to yemen this has been the case for the past

three years i mean we have in our arab media we have heard about this or have even seen some photos about this for as back as three years now about these prisons that are run by the united arab emirates that torture people and they flicked all sorts of psychological torture as well on them by holding their families as well hostage so i think this is something that the u.s. has known about but but the investigation is only new because it was set out set out by representatives from the house of representatives now whether or not this will be taken seriously we're going to have to wait and see because i think it's going to have to be one hundred and twenty days of investigations until the report is out that despite the fact that one hundred twenty days which means more one hundred twenty days of torture for these prisoners inside of these. camps tension comes from by the u.a.e. the real question here is are we going to see also some sort of an investigator.
