for an epidemic of violence in america now i recently saw some videos from a famous clinical psychologist jordan peterson who likes to point to the inability of young men to pair off and have a fulfilling relationship in this world as contributing cells are called yes there are rich. guys who can involuntarily so they sell a bit so they feel people have our documentary that in my view i think the self crisis is more it is to blame for the rise in violence ok well we are end of empire days and end of empire days see a bread and circuses and i want to show another chart that again this is provided by united health group the largest health insurance group in america and they're the ones saying. put people on medicaid because this is stupid to have these exchanges because those public exchanges were meant to according to the c.b.s.

have twenty five million people on them by now but according to facts in fact they have ten million people if you look at this this is the health coverage in the us twenty seventeen employer sponsored insurance provides insurance for one hundred seventy four million americans medicaid seventy five million medicare fifty eight million and the public exchange ten million and that i think that is like there's sort of you know the coliseum the the gladiator sort of games is all of those ten million eighty percent receive subsidies from the taxpayer is two million people that are forced on to these gory exchanges where they're getting twenty thirty forty percent increases annually and they have to fend for themselves and the like provides amusement to people like these in cells who are angry because they can't find a mate. i think there's a correlation there as i pointed out but clearly the situation is leading toward a complete societal breakdown. well perhaps but nevertheless i'm just. knowing that

this is a scandal and one americans are going to pay seven hundred four billion dollars for this scam over the next decade well i guess it's back to friends. well perhaps you know at that's fact based and we don't live in a fact based world we live in a polarized emotion based crucible of nonsense conspiracy nonsense well we've got to take a break don't go away much more coming your way. state it. well you know the fires they were kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small boat next to the hard pool of ships and it's. not something. the limo self the

big fish already ninety percent of the dot and it won't become the. concept fifteen scoops seventy five tons they do it several times a day with a big fleet now you get an idea why pollution. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be with in this world the deal for you. i'm doing this because i want the future world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have. for a world cup twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all children but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be

our coach. you guys i know you on the list is a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure you have to put me to the center of the shuttle with you and we'll show the great game the greatest good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the ball in the ring let's go. away. no i was just i want to know and i'm really happy to join the fall of two thousand and three in the world cup in russia meet the special one. meets just at the reno beyond the team's latest edition to make up a bigger. look. welcome

back to the kaiser report imax keyser time now to turn to seth shapiro of alpha network seth welcome to the program thank you max big fan all right let's get right into it you say the media business is fundamentally broken how so and what do you do in a fiction over there alpha networks if you think about the major areas of the media business that we've kind of brought up with for a while cable made sense before the internet you had these hundreds of channels but at that point there was no broadband so there was nothing else there was no other game in town so economy the economics says it doesn't make sense anymore people pay for hundreds of networks they watch maybe a dozen of them you tube seem like it would be a solution but as you know like most content creators can't make a living there three percent of you tube is make above the poverty line so that's not like you know hothouse success as a business model price for most of them and news is the same stories over and over for an audience largely people what is alpha networks so we're doing is we're

building a netflix like platform powered by connected to a block chain and we're all about finding new authentic voices and then finding ways to take the audiences from some of those people cross-pollinate them to other audiences and build new new content rather let me play the role of jimmy song for a moment ok why block change what does that add to your business because the part of the problem with traditional media is you have these huge budgets for movies and things that are kind of completely based on projections but they somebody's always disappointed so you have big budgets for a t.v. show on the talent makes this massive amount of money and then if it fails the studio is upset because they spent all this money and it's a loss if the talent hits it out of the park then they feel like they got under compensated so if you can actually create a model where you're looking at the actual consumption and pay people for the views that they actually generated that's kind of a i think a big deal it's the it's is different in a way from where we are now as cable. from broadcasts different economics you're

trying to help you're putting the distributor and the talent on the same side of the table because we both make money as you are you become more successful we both make more money right so the ad revenues are distributed to the consumer direct as well as today there is a can yes right it's a split split yes all right so now there's competition in the space for sure ok or not the first of the rodeo now that's true they're right there along the line of bloody bodies what differentiates alpha now works we're doing this with a really sophisticated series of a p i's not to get too boring and we're doing with watson with i.b.m. so we're using all the stack that they've been building for a long time to kind of create more intelligent networks and we're building from the ground up the tech to do this so if you add to our system your data is completely private we don't know anything about that we don't know that you're maxed but we're following everything that you watch more constantly looking for patterns that are emerging so for example kind of a crude analogy is brazil change their t.v. last like six years ago when i was over there and they were doing more kind of

local brazilian content less western kind of global content and it turned out there was this interesting overlap between brazilian tele novellas and korean soap operas so the two countries had started talking about formats and there was a sort of weird completely non hollywood exchange of creative between brazil and korea and the time it kind of felt would be cool to develop more of that more out of brazil the show they actually turn the sound down because i perceive max and stacey as a telling of ela right right they could just add their own voices they just said they just to fill in the gaps doesn't matter they can i can record that in air because yeah for a nominal fee so you were hollywood for twenty years what did you do there still ab so i got to hollywood from new york from here about the time that the web was starting and there was almost nobody then who could code so i was a programmer and i've been a pretty. i'm a geek yeah how actually shocking to look at me yeah i don't get. that skill

desperation i was a music producer here at a record label coming at n.y.u. and i say all the money to our i could reply there on the same time yeah it's a good school eighty three i think it's still around yeah then why is there a real real estate property developer and that's right out of the education business that's a much better business education's a horrible business all right so let's move on the me to movement which is taken down some of the most powerful men in hollywood of the past decade and miramax was a huge player and they produced like you know three hundred a movie titles come out here in hollywood there are later thirty of them huge prestige oscar winning case so they're gone basically there now is that change the industry now i don't think so i mean they're going to be more people like that will be more outings because it's been kind of a dirty secret for a long time but i don't know that it fundamentally changes the industry i hopefully it sensitizes people to the fact that not everything is how it appears but i my friend alec baldwin who is trying to report me to the f.b.i. last year is doing a deal with a ton of

a similar platform where they're raising money via a block chain enable trip what's a girl say has like a three ok a list or a name of p.p. pop pop up here on things like that ok so are they are they. talent open. that managers of the agents that william morris says if you come to them and say hey i've got a block chain unable distribution platform that's going to give everyone a more equitable distribution all the success that's going on here what's their view of things drive their kind of more than ever in the private equity business because the old business that ca and morris and those guys were in was. representing huge movie stars that got you know north of twenty million dollar deals that's a harder business now the movie business isn't what it was or they did t.v. packaging so now increasingly they're trying to finance stuff and take equity and other things right go out so i think probably there will be more of them trying to matchmake between tech companies and at. because that's

a growing business and well look at this to get more into the business model here so alpha networks it's a platform yeah like a netflix but you create you do you create content yeah we got actually great content with radical media it was a major production company here in new york and l.a. oh or did they do that david letterman thing they do they do they do the letterman show they've got about four shows on netflix they do everybody from lady gaga to american expect the excess to access the platform you know well we're building it now but you'll access it on the web on a browser or via an app same way you would have access netflix is going to be in up by down the way and now i'm getting a slice of the pie yes you are ok as i said this is a bit of a crowded space and like ok let me ask you this but here's a look at really be the bad guy right you all right ok ok amazon has got a frickin here its platform and they they finance a ton of content every year now right and so why couldn't they put you guys out of business didn't intermedia you guys by simply offering

a cryptic point well we know those guys and their shows that they're generally going to do are going to be big budget like licensing old h.b.o. back catalog for two billion are doing original production look to you ok to buy my show i can't talk about that oh i have a lot we're going to migrate to some different arcs as a group are going to go to america. to be considerable yet more than just the dollars it would be over for because you know we only work here for a vodka that's all we get let me consult my attorney but i think we can go to another system so what if i could just ask you know nuts that's it will throw in will throw an eggnog and mango not i'm i'm i'm over that now cable news viewer numbers are soaring with thirty million dollars because of the theater right because of the spectacle of you know it's trump how do you raise a lot i'll go from being a reasonable voice of the left to becoming an alex jones like this foaming rabid psychopath kind of notice that she used to be relatively calm right now probably

because the. the other side's in power even a good bit over to mark's for now it's become a partisan hack yeah i think because that would you mind it when i just you know pick pick fights with my competition at the expense of the owner i want more i don't know please kid like all right so m.s.m. bases because conspiracy theories and ok so the point is though that the consumer is left a bit adrift because they are tuning in to cable news and their news is it's all basically polemicists that's right there's no debate we were talking about william buckley earlier in his debate with the gore of the doll touring the nine hundred sixty eight presidential as eventually action that opened the way toward an interesting debate format in american william buckley went on to host fire i and other shows and there was intelligent debate but then i guess under reagan they passed the fairness and media law which opened the way toward the rush limbaugh those who are just totally partisan and you are not required by law to have an opposing viewpoint right and so year and

a veteran of this industry did that what did that do it seems my point being that it open the way to this hyper partisanship polemicist fox news drivel but what is your view what you think you're exactly right so when you want to figure out how an industry works follow the money now you've got more and more outlets that are preaching to the converted telling people what they already want to hear that are paid for by brands that want to reach that particular demo so a lot of that because we're going to say big time a right when you talk about these hot topic issues political issues everyone knows the. words and the buzzwords and they they're no one ever has a meaningful insight into the debate anymore they just know the words and they spew them out you they vomit the words out you you mentioned hillary clinton dell dell v.l. still spit out depending on their party affiliation a few words and then if that doesn't work that you get into a fight you get a job or a brawl right like there's no dialogue at all anymore in media in the news even the news i mean their time. i was always slightly you know biased but now it's like

a rip roaring frank and propaganda yeah and t.v. used to kind of be a little bit more open and more theatrical like written about before like john lennon hosted the mike douglas show right back then you had people mixing it up something like or just jump on dick cavett they go right exactly right you said you don't see that type of thing now tom slater with the last of the great late night talk show polymaths that's right now no more of that saturday night live and we'll have about thirty seconds they seem to have ignored comedy. you're racially they're just going with hyper partisanship you know and pull you out of right right there's no there's no given it it's just the same banging on the guy in the white house every week right so you know there's no surprises there it's just it's just ok i'm back and i saw alpha networks as the platform. it sounds like you're entering a world of pain with this project and to the church i mean you're competing with some heavyweights in hollywood. you take people out the stretcher if you cut into

william morris as action or whatever i mean this is a cut throat business hollywood you know where you explain it all god if course am i you are yes all right ok so i'm ok like the waiter all right thank you this is the one that's going to survive in what twenty seven bucks oh i'm worth twenty seven bucks so you know they're shrewed that's right well thanks for being on kaiser the more banks present to be on alpha networks oh hey that's going to do for this edition of the kaiser of course me my kaiser and stacy herbert want to thank our special guest seth shapiro of alpha networks if you want to catch us on twitter it's kaiser report until next time. fifty years ago britain and we've been to come together and there's a sleeping pill just these would be because they are tremendous just on the sort of thinks what terrible.

the wall. across europe victims are still waiting legal battles demanding at least some compensation. in two ways first will the physical damage itself as well as with the concert in mind that the people who actually put the take this call it has never been the justice and it has been a couple. of. europe must be much stronger and makings of decision at twenty eight can we around the table agree on tough measures on these are china always the u.s. and the end of the unfortunately is the answer to that so far is not the really europe is being too weak and that's why we end up being beaten on the head sometimes by the chinese sometimes by the american and that got to stop.

for manners sitting in a car when the fifth gets shot in the head. all four different versions of what happened one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the us did not shoot around a corner. well you know the cars big kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're in this small ball of sticks in a hard pull in shifts and it's still. nothing.

the little self to be told fish already ninety percent of the dark dots need to fall in the current. context fifteen scopes seventy five tons trolling the joint several times a day with a big fleet so now you get an idea on why. we have to understand we can not stay still and just. be with me this will be used for years or. i'm doing this because i want the future world to future generations to have and enjoy the ocean now we have. just been able to.

get their lease on the. same level that it lives up to the fiction. that. russia's foreign minister meets the north korean leader parties given exclusive images from inside the assembly hall where the high level talks have been taking place. in court of human rights rules that lithuania and remain here with complicit in the talks with two al qaeda terrorist suspects in the cia's program of secret detention centers and journalists worldwide event their anger at ukraine for staging the murder of russian opposition journalist card.

but but the fear was about winning the heart of the fields with the them in battle and we all are talking used chemical weapons against syria but you want them to have to be supported. in an exclusive interview with our saying president bashar assad knows that syria would never have used chemical weapons against its own people and says that civil war is the wrong description of the conflict in the country. good evening it's just gone six o'clock here in moscow you're watching r.t. international. now the russian foreign minister has met with the north korean leader kim jong un as pyongyang prepares for a possible historic peace summit with south korea and the u.s. however sergey lavrov did warn that the peace process remains fragile. it was

regarding sanctions it's completely obvious that when we start talking about the nuclear issue and other issues on the korean peninsula it's with the understanding that nothing can happen with sanctions still in place how that's going to be achieved is another question a matter of the art of the go but it can't be done in one go just like denuclearization can't that is why there have to be stages and progress at each stage. well i didn't arrive in north korea empty handed he did have a small present for kim a russian keeps a box. it also has a key you can look away some secret stuff. the top diplomat also invited kim to russia and passed on a message from putin and in response the north korean leader sent warm greetings to the president our correspondent has been following the meeting in pyongyang and got exclusive images from inside north korea.

you know these are our first. democratic people's republic of korea. so thirty labral limo just departed and we're going to follow him right now. we just left the airport and we're trying to catch up with the limo but we seem to be a bit far behind we're on the way to the capital pyongyang. this is a truly incredible opportunity for us to film inside the place where most high profile meetings and north korea happen just as the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov is talking to his north korean counterpart behind closed doors right there.

the moment wendy walsh and top diplomat is n.p.r. is absolutely unique on the one hand the resolution of the korean peninsula crisis might be just a few steps away with a massive concessions the north and the south have both been making and even donald to however we understand that any move can make everything collapse. so the question is why exactly sergey lavrov and it up in the north korean top little russian diplomatic sources suggest that it was after several invitations in a row by mr elaborate tattled part during his visit to moscow. we were also told that the north korean side the one to the trip to happen asap during a traditional way to chat with the journalists on the plane. when we now search the

lab for why this was happening and what to expect of the visit his answer was we'll just have to see i don't know for now. but political analyst joseph chang does believe the step by step approach to negotiations suggested by moscow is the only reasonable way to settle a crisis. the negotiations process has to proceed in a reasonable rational manner even view of the demand on the part of the united staes that the deed nuclearization process has to be complete very fireball and the verse of ball is obviously a symmetry in the american demands and the. demands of from unknown so the russian foreign minister is a rising a kind of step by step or stage by stage kind of negotiation process which is

obviously rational since it is rather difficult to works to achieve to secure a complete arrangement in one goal. the ripping court of human rights has ruled that lithuania and rumania took part in the cia's program of secret detention centers and also violated the prohibition on torture by helping the agency with the interrogation of to al qaeda suspects one of the suspects according to the cia a key al qaeda figure no charges they were brought against him as part of his interrogation he was water boarded eighty three times it is said he lost his left eye during cia torture well in his diary he documented torches he was subjected to an even sketch them in detail of the detainees also face the agency's enhanced interrogation program according to the cia he led our gulf region operations but both still being held in the tourist town i'm obey prison the hearings revealed the

conditions under which the two suspects were kept peter oliver has more details. there had been held in these facilities and the domestic authorities had been aware that the cia would subject them to treatment contrary to the convention now what we have heard is a little bit about the conditions in which they were kept in lithuanian site with getting a little bit of a glimpse into what was going on there and how prisoners were held up this this hearing no it prisoners were kept in blindfolded all time they were put in solitary confinement and they were forced to wear leg shackles at all times as a beta gave an account of what was done to him while he was in detention and must warn viewers that this clip comes a company with some of his own sketches that have been released as part of a freedom of information request some viewers may find them disturbing they unchained my hands from the bars and chained them with short chains to the chains that were around my legs which kept me in

a bowing position at all times they brutally dragged me to the cement wall he started brutally banging my head in my back against the wall i felt my back was breaking due to the intensity of the banging he started slapping my face again and again meanwhile he was yelling and then he pointed to a large black wooden box that looked like a wooden casket he says from now on this is going to be your home he violently closed the door i heard the sound of the lock i found myself in total darkness. we saw a few of them accompanying that clip just there but the sketches are made well they really paying to very disturbing picture quite literally of the conditions in which he was being kept the two men are currently being held in guantanamo bay now since the detention facility opened there in two thousand and two it's been open to prisoners scandals over abuse now the current u.s. president donald trump peace supports the use of waterboarding he said it many

times however this is something that well the rest of the world pretty much considers torture. which by the way which by the way we are keeping open which we are keeping. and we're going to load it up dude split we're going to load it up feel strongly about waterboarding as far as i'm concerned we have to fight fire with in fact donald trump doubled down in his support for waterboarding as he promoted the woman who is in charge of the cia black sites to the top job in agency gina hospital who's well referred to by her detractors in the media particularly here in germany as either the torture queen or bloody gina well she took over as the new cia director earlier this month. after all of reports now let's talk now to most mbeki is a former detainee at guantanamo about or sap and. thanks for coming on to r.t.

today thanks for your time or short take on this court ruling is it justice do you think. well it's important that we remember that this is the second time there's a european governments ruled in favor of was a bather in two thousand and fourteen they ruled that he had been held illegally have been tortured by the cia and they were in the european court was ordered ordered the polish government to pay them two hundred to pay him two hundred fifty thousand dollars now that's a huge amount for somebody who's out in kuantan and more and you have no idea when he's ever going to see more importantly you see these repeated cases coming again and again whether it's lithuania whether it's remain you know whether it's poland or beyond where people are tortured the truth comes out a ruling is given compensation is this is given the united states in their case haven't even gone that far they've simply done a report in two thousand and fourteen the u.s. senate report on torture said they didn't.
