that motion of no confidence was put forward by the main opposition socialist party who said that they are seeking to replace mr hyde with their leader that debate is due to go on until friday morning when they will take a vote whether or not to remove him from the job as the spanish prime minister so of course for the sure the do this could bring is the very latest developments on the political scene in italy thank you. the u.s. has announced that it will slap the e.u. with painful tariffs on aluminum and steel imports from friday canada or mexico they'll also be hit donald trump first announced the moves in march but in a concession to allies including the use some exemptions were granted our correspondents in london and washington gauge reaction from both sides of the atlantic. the tariffs will reportedly threatened seven point four billion dollars the worth of european exports to the u.s.
8:31 pm
and what's interesting about this is that wilbur ross u.s. secretary for commerce maybe announcement just hours after meeting with the french finance minister where they apparently discussed the matter amicably but the domestic reactions have been mixed establishment democrats and republicans strongly oppose the move but trade unions in the u.s. applaud it trumps move but in his announcement today iraq's downplayed the terror of providing at least some assurance that they won't negatively affect relations with the e.u. . grew. very very. good over the course do we just heard it in washington doesn't think these terms are going to be a big problem for europe is that the case i think they might be surprised if we look at the reaction that we've got from europe what could this mean for the european union you may aswell we've had the u.k. government responding with pure disappointment at the reaction for this decision in
8:32 pm
the e.u. . they're not happy either this could reportedly affect seven point four billion euros worth of european exports to the u.s. understandably there's a little bit of outrage going on there the most affected could be the automobile industry and that would mean germany would be hit that the hardest if that's the case because they are the powerhouse of course of the of that sector now the president of the european commission john claude juncker he has called this decision a horrible day for trade. except that it come to push you to look for measures when it comes to. create. because also this with the. spawn's saying that countermeasures will kick in within hours he's also vowing to put the matter to the world trade organization because
8:33 pm
they are responsible for settling trade disputes and settlements of course i mentioned germany before they have reacted to the news the german foreign minister has also slammed the decision calling it illegal he's vowing a united response saying our answer to america first can only be europe united the french president emanuel at micron has also slammed the decision calling it illegal strong reactions as you can see all round and lots of unhappy countries there we've previously heard from brussels they've promised to retaliate to america's protectionist steps with its own twenty five percent terrorists on various produce including motorcycles jean cigarettes cranberry juice and peanut butter his again. so now we will also impose import tariffs this is basically stupid process the fact that we have to do this but we have to do it we will now impose tariffs on harley
8:34 pm
davidson motorcycles on levis blue jeans and board but we can also do stupid we also have to be this stupid so the next question is of course how will trump reactive counter measures are enforced well he's already threatened to respond to any e.u. trade barriers by saying that he will put tax on cars produced by european auto makers so you can see that the huge verbal tit for tat going on it will depend on whether the e.u. can forget forgive and indeed live with these new measures. journalists have rounded on the ukrainian or thora to use for faking the assassination of a russian opposition reporter. the journalist in question has responded to one article in the british media slamming ukraine's action the article claimed that the fake murder. it wore harm than good after he left a comment on his own facebook page as address the british press and used offensive
8:35 pm
language it also said that if the press wants more good than harm then give him a british passport of protection meanwhile other international media and security watchdogs have also slander stunt as being deplorable and regrettable the staged murder of journalists are crazy bumps and could by the ukrainian security service is distressing well the reappearance of the reports of relief is deeply regrettable the queen's authorities have played with the truth no matter what the motive relieved that currently but he was alive i deplore the decision to spread false information on the life of a journalist it is the duty of the state to provide correct information to the public the story began when ukrainian authorities claim that they had found with gunshot wounds at his flat in the capital and said that he had died on his way to hospital however less than twenty four hours later it was revealed the murder had actually been staged ukrainian security forces claim that they did it in order to
8:36 pm
foil an actual russian plot to kill the journalist on his double quarter reports on the fallout from this controversial case. when a russian journalist was pronounced murdered in the ukrainian capital it didn't take long for the ceremonial finger pointing at russia to begin he was only working on things that were critical and investigative of russia and of the russian government as well he said there was nothing that was critical of ukrainians of course that network and its boss placing the blame on the kremlin and on russia journalist known political leanings have led some to point the finger in one direction it was a calculated deliberate international terrorist crime committed on the direct instruction of the russian authorities who can blame them when the story has all the perfect ingredients the russian totalitarian machine putin's regime going after the kremlin critic except the guy turned up alive and well imagine everyone's confusion what on earth is showing on fred all of these developments in just the
8:37 pm
last hour or so i know that doused absolutely gobsmacked when a second so what the heck actually have been here russia said it was relieved that our caught the bug was alive but also fiore us and understandably so after being falsely accused of murder questions of life and death in ukraine as well as the international community's trust in its politics are nothing more than a bargaining chip for the kids regime to stir up until russian hysteria fellow journalists were outraged too when a state says a prominent journalist who had received threats was murdered i think the media have to report it but with the fake news in ukraine have reduced all of our credibility trump would be proud had learned not to trust ukrainian authorities on don't best warrant but assuming something like this official confirmation was solid apologies it's on wikipedia's most notable fake death so what gives all the murder was staged
8:38 pm
by the ukrainian secret service to foil an alleged kremlin plot they say they did it secretly not even his wife knew imagine what the poor woman one thing. true but one ukrainian lawmaker thinks this is ok because sherlock holmes successfully used the method of staging his own death to effectively investigate difficult and complicated crimes well if it happened in fiction must be good in real life till whether ukraine will produce evidence that there was ever a russian plot in the first place remains to be seen but after a stunt like this it's hard to imagine many will take anything he says at face value the taming is key i think just before we start the world cup in russia which is a shock east event for any country that will cut their or sort of cut and suddenly we're getting the story switches does that which are designed i would speculate to discredit russia and discredit russia and the eyes of the world just as a supposed to host the world cup and so this is
8:39 pm
a very elemental campaign it's been targeting russia because it's no interfering in areas in which all nations have in the past understood that they are off limits when it comes to using them for propaganda purposes such as trying to use the world cup to undermine the host nation that does nor good to anyone especially at a time when we need to try and form an understanding. the european court of human rights has ruled to lift you a me and rumania took part in the cia's program of secret detention centers and that they also violated the prohibition on torture by helping the agency with the interrogation of two al qaeda suspects both countries have been ordered to pay the men one hundred thousand euros each in compensation. one of the suspects was according to the cia a key al qaeda figure no charges were brought against him though as part of his interrogation he was water boarded eighty three times said he lost his left eye
8:40 pm
during cia torture and in his diary he documented tortures he was subjected to and even sketched them in detail the other detainee also face the agency's then interrogation program and according to the cia he led gulf region operations both a still held in the notorious guantanamo bay prison hearings revealed the conditions under which the two suspects were kept the applicants 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 we've gotten a little bit of a glimpse into what was going on there and how prisoners were held up this this hearing now 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 is a bit it gave an account of what was done to him while he was in detention must
8:41 pm
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 bearing position at all times they brutally dragged me to the cement wall he started brutally banging my head on 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
8:42 pm
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 e supports that you solve waterboarding he said it many times however this is something that the rest of the world pretty much considers torture when diana marbury 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 would 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
8:43 pm
germany as either the torture queen or bloody gina well she took over as the new cia director earlier this month the through any says that it may appeal the ruling we discussed the case with former guantanamo bay prison a muslim bag now outreach director for the rights organization cage. the reality is that these are war crimes and nobody was prosecuted for this and nobody will be prosecuted no matter how many accomplices and it's important that we're involved that states in the c.i.s. and talk report torture report there are one hundred nine hundred eighty six mention so imagine the lawsuits that would one after the other come and be filed against us they don't have to prosecute the entire bush administration and beyond and of course that's probably not going to be possible there's a series here you've got. four presidents essentially that are all ruled america run america was the torture program has either gone or gone on or has been allowed
8:44 pm
to get away with it and because there's no prosecutions the new president can come along and say i believe torture works a lot more waterboarding is a great thing because there is not precedent if it is in prosecuted for the crime that it is a war crime then he would never dare say such a thing so imagine if that somebody from sub-saharan africa said that we thought. we. all were doing that its activities in our country imagine what would happen if they said that and indorsed. malaysia's new transport minister is said that there's no decisive evidence that russia shot down flight m h seventeen over ukraine four years ago there is no conclusive evidence to blame russia you cannot just pin it on russia this comes after the netherlands and australia informed russia they now hold it responsible for the atrocity move
8:45 pm
followed a briefing by the joint investigation team which accused russia of supplying the weapon which downed the airline but investigators said that there are issues that still need resolving. the questions everyone wants answered from day one are why was flight m h seventeen should down and who was responsible for this appalling act i can't give you the answers to these specific questions to date flight m a seventeen was downed back in twenty fourteen over eastern ukraine killing all two hundred ninety eight people on board four years on and there are lots of questions that remain unanswered on the investigation continues. investigators concluded the aircraft was hit by a missile from a russian made buck launcher. but the manufacturer's own tests showed the missile type used was decommissioned by the russian military years ago.
8:46 pm
russian investigators claim the missile was fired from a ukrainian held area moscow sent radar data to the netherlands but dutch investigators say that information was in a format they couldn't analyze. the joint investigation team includes the netherlands belgium australia malaysia and ukraine. the body cooperates with other states but russia's only been allowed limited involvement. ukraine was quick to blame russia for the tragedy however the final report does not directly blame russia for the crash. investigators concluded the book was driven in from russia and returned across the border after the launch that was based on intercepted telephone conversations witness statements photographs and videos posted on social media but the accuracy of such evidence remains questionable.
8:47 pm
several mainstream media outlets and prominent politicians also didn't hesitate to pin the blame on russia even before the investigation reached any conclusions many reports used questionable evidence from amateur investigators like belling cat who used social networks and open internet sources to try and decipher what happened. are the very latest news headlines for you and updates on our top stories in half an hour.
8:48 pm
well we'll come twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way it's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of fresh camera you have to go i mean eighty percent of the problem here with you and you told a great game. you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get down the way let's go. a low as i want you know and i'm really happy to join that for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one come on top of. me to just say the
8:49 pm
reno p.r.t. teams the latest edition to make up the bigger so i need to just say look. back at my life. i live my life i've. still got to. i. don't you do sort of.
8:50 pm
america as are those of the kaiser report yes you're in the right place for the right reasons. actually were in scams of ill i'm going to talk some headlines about scams ville that is the great crony capitalist predator economy of america everything is predatory lee price and that's what they strive for because that's what the number one investor in america warren buffett aims for he invests in companies that have predatory pricing power he himself has said that in his newsletters he's told people that's how i look at things that's how i best as anybody who is predatory pricing so first look at a headline looking at the end result of this and that is consumer debt is set to hit four trillion dollars by the end of twenty eighteen americans are in a borrowing mood and their total tab for consumer debt could reach a record four trillion dollars by the end of twenty eighteen that's according to lending tree a loan comparison website which analyzed data from the federal reserve a non mortgage debts including credit cards and auto personal and student loans
8:51 pm
americans owe more than twenty six percent of their annual income to this debt that's up from twenty two percent in two thousand and ten it's also higher than debt levels during the mid two thousand and one credit availability soared twenty six percent of income goes to service and these non mortgage debts non mortgage debt yes and that's up from twenty two percent in two thousand and ten and i'll say that is before obamacare came in and that's before all the student loan. debt took over that was after the financial crisis the ordinary person who was not warren buffett who is not jamie dimon who is not lloyd blankfein the ordinary person the only debt they could access was from the government and student loans in the form of student loans there were also no jobs going around so you might as well go and get real. educated and learn a new skill and go back to university so a lot of people when everybody went that's been degraded by the way they're all sorts of big names now telling you that it's not actually worth. college degrees no
8:52 pm
longer worth the debt load anymore but nevertheless people can access that debt and then continue to feed themselves and house themselves using their student loans for the last few years well now they have a huge pile of debt right and that's with interest rates at historic lows you know the curve starts zero. it extends on the zero line for a few years and then none so you get to the fifteen to twenty year to start to kick up and then you get into what we call interest rate apartheid if you're on a student loan or a credit card loan it goes like hockey sticks up to the teens and twenty percent tile and it's amazing that this was allowed to. kind of propagate in the economy clearly an example of an entrenched crony capitalism like to warren buffet's completely disinter maybe it did disengaging the economy as a whole the the entire population is going to fall off the edge of the earth again
8:53 pm
my god they keep coming back the earth is flat well i mean here's the chart of the total credit outstanding as a percentage of disposable personal income and you see it's been climbing since the eighty's but. it's important to note that these millenniums of these people gaining gathering up debts from student loans those student loans are non dischargeable you can never just starts them in bankruptcy it's very difficult and your creditor is the u.s. government which can break your legs throw you in prison take your social security checks take your medicaid take your medicare checks take all your any money that you could possibly any nickel somebody gives you on the street they'll take out they'll show up the government will show up and take that nickel from me that somebody throws your way well yeah i mean that's exactly right it's not a pretty picture is it you've got a predatory capitalism. being financed by thugs otherwise those the us
8:54 pm
government which protects all of those the licensee we don't like blankfein and warren buffett who are told you just have to compete with them this is a meritocracy you just have to compete with them on the mean time born in one nine hundred eighty s. may never cover from the great recession partly because they have all those student loan debts which they can never discharge they've got to keep on making payments as soon as they earn above a certain amount of income that you've got to take you've got to pay it so it's becomes difficult to compete but also what didn't happen to prior generations generation x. baby boomers are generations you know we didn't have the he's the insane student loans or you know the tuition rates but we also didn't have obamacare and the basically the government the goons acting on behalf of these private corporations these private so called health insurance companies well first a tweet from john walker d.c. and it is really an appreciated how much they see a exchange that's obamacare was designed as a marketplace for people paying full cost and how it has turned into mostly
8:55 pm
a very inefficient welfare system with a few unlucky middle class people are stuck with so. i'll show you there's a few charts this is going to be a crazy story this is i love this obamacare story because were victims of it you and i have lived over in europe for twenty years we were able to pay cash for much of our health care over at the american hospital in paris as if you know it's a private institution you can go there anybody could pay it in twenty years there i paid as much as two months of premiums here in premiums don't get you health care actually yourself to pay for your medical care on top of that but just we're going to show you charts to prove that obamacare is a disaster or democrats won't say that they won't run on that everybody knows however it's a disaster especially those on lucky few middle class who don't qualify for the free care so these are stay. that expanded medicaid in
8:56 pm
from two thousand and thirteen twenty fourteen twenty fifteen twenty six hundred twenty seventeen so you see that there are uninsured rate collapsed by half because people got free care they got medicaid which is you get free care you go to any doctor you get treated you going to merge assume you get treated. most of those policies have no co-pays you just one hundred percent treated here the states did not expand medicaid these are the you know the dozen or so states that did not expand medicaid and you see they barely dented obamacare did not convince anybody to go on to the exchanges and pay for these huge expenses so in fact unless you got the free care most people didn't go on it the the few american chumps like ourselves who are part of the scam ville we pay thousands of dollars a month and don't get much in return right well i mean to get back to the quote there so they make the connection to welfare so there is the government has a welfare and medicaid that they cover but it medicaid is in america in case you
8:57 pm
don't know medicaid is basically an insurance policy paid health insurance policy provided by the taxpayer the u.s. government pays your medical care on their behalf however there are they do set prices for m.r.i. zur or various procedures that you might get medicare is for the elderly right so medicaid is. is provided by the government to taxpayers to folks that can afford health care and i pay taxes and the tax revenue that i pay helps of fund the government's met it cost but because the government would like to take the money i pay in taxes and bomb people defenseless people overseas and spend trillions of dollars they then come back and they tax me again something called obamacare they tax me again. to provide the health services that they say they're providing for
8:58 pm
people who can afford health care now here's my one simple question sense of thousands of dollars a year we pay to offset the government's in a fit inability to fulfill their requirement why can't i write that off as a charitable donation on my taxes it is a charitable donation i'm donating twenty two thousand dollars a year of charity to people who can't afford health care that's the way it's set up why can't i write that off well let's look at what united health group says the biggest health insurance provider in america and they having looked at all these exchanges participated in the obamacare exchange in america if you're poor enough you get free care you get medicaid if you're poor and mouth in certain states had expanded the level so medicaid you have to be under the the old medicaid you had to be under the poverty level and it was very difficult as
8:59 pm
a single guy you had to have children you had to be a woman you had to have a sick be a single mother essentially to get that free care and a lot of children a lot of elderly are on medicaid as well as medicare then they expanded it under obamacare that states couldn't raise the level of income that would qualify you above poverty level and guys could single guys could then get medicaid then if you're still earning too much you can still be subsidized so you go you have to go into the obamacare exchange and buy is supposed to be open market many of the states only are your areas the county you might live and only have one possibly two health insurance providers you have to go through it try to figure out be a competitive consumer drive these prices and of course the prices just go up ten twenty thirty percent a year nevertheless it proves that the pricing power is. on one side the the
9:00 pm
taxpayer continues to subsidize you there so when united health care looks at this and said united health group report says that medicaid costs forty three percent less than exchanges thus saving money for consumers and federal government public exchange coverage is more costly and less effective than medicaid to them first implemented in two thousand and fourteen as a cornerstone of the affordable care act public exchanges where in visions as a new health insurance marketplace for millions of uninsured americans could shop for compare and purchase and an affordable stable health coverage the new exchanges sought to provide subsidized coverage to americans who are not eligible for medicaid well in fact according to united health and with a look at it yet tax hers won't vote for this because of socialism medicaid costs the government you the taxpayer forty three percent less than forcing those people onto a stupid exchange. it costs you way more cost you thousands.
