meets with the leader of north korea for a peace summit this month it's after the american president revealed to journalists that he received a quote very nice letter from kim jong il the thing is it's not clear whether trump actually read it. the letter was given to me by him you know and that letter was. the notice letter on would you like to see what was in that letter that you know you might go with how much how much letter how much it was a very interesting letter and i haven't seen the letter you know i purposely didn't know. i haven't opened i didn't open it in front of the director well that letter was passed to trump by a former north korean intelligence chief who is part of the pyongyang delegation to the u.s. talks between america and north korea are scheduled for the twelfth of june in singapore the meeting was earlier called off by. cold open hostility here. is take on what's going on it looks like trump and kim may have come off probably

possibly maybe in case you missed that feel good story of the summer. don't look around and came to my bald head and said there are you know some rachel the new justin and selena i'm not getting just as attractive are you glad that these are the two men with that fingers on the button the big date in june the twelfth but trump pulls it off saying that a friend told him that he got it from someone else that came with saying mean things about the u.s. vice president or something like that what was particularly annoying for came with that just the day before i want to teach him how desperate he was for me to stop the whole mountain wouldn't be from what he said i think they would actually say that. he dangled somehow if a few days later saying i truly believe north korea has brilliant potential and will be a great economic and financial nation one day you'll know how to box her up. they

want to be nice to just get together talk teasing us. north korea to commit to getting rid of everything that you know. now. the only other came down on will be mindful of the fact that maybe it is number one colonel gadhafi agreed to do just that but a few years later was dragged from the drain and shot so you can see the argument for keeping a lid on terror and you know. that's a common donald give the boy a chance no amount be. totally. good idea in case you missed it trump and kim aren't going to meet the north korean leader says washington will be in the fire of the thousands ok so you missed it and kim finally agreed to meet they've officially booked a romantic suite at thing to pose raffles harry tell case you missed it trungpa has

stormed out of a summit with the north korean leader it's reported he misunderstood the briefing telling him he'd be meeting someone called kim in a singapore hotel on a book a with some very turn it now allows the us north korean summit was being debated kim jong un met with russia's foreign minister reacting to news of the meeting trump initially said he didn't like it but that he was willing to change his mind of something positive came from it kareena first experts we contacted say the u.s. doesn't want to be sidelined in the peace process if you give this president a branding run like call it that b.p. the trump peace plan you're going to have a situation where this president's going to be excited because a legacy issue he could really use right now and he wants to do what no president in the u.s. has ever done before the u.s. wants to demonstrate leadership in this area and not be left on the sidelines so

it's an opportunity for him and if he leaves the other countries to take the lead in the u.s. becomes a side player. then you lose their. doesn't understand anything beyond the fact that this could be a good photo op and possibly a boon for his ratings the u.s. has never taken north korea very seriously i mean the idea of the greatest military power in the world sitting down with a country that they've already always considered impoverished and backward i think is anathema to many people in washington and the united states wants supremacy against china in the region and it wants to maintain its troops in korea as close to china as possible and that has really been a big factor in prolong the conflict in korea the message that kim jong un is that you know he's meeting with lavrov he's meeting with huge and paying. signals to

trump you know i have friends in the region and you're the one that is isolating yourself by pulling out these international agreements and so you know i'll be fine with or without you. the ground some of force since that's the a moment a florida jury eventually awarded the family of a black man fatally shot by police officers he was killed in his garbage four years ago while officers were investigating a complaint about loud music they awarded the family a total of four dollars first of all one for funeral expenses and a dollar for each of the tree children of his that's because the jury established that the officer involved in the shooting was only one percent at fault so the compensation was reduced to just four cents afterwards it was a stop blish stuff the fake lee shot mom was intoxicated when officers arrived on

the sum could end up being zero well gregory hill jr was a father to three children he was fatally shot three times through our garage door by police in twenty fourteen police claim he was holding a gun which it's believed he was loaded on the family's lawyer says it's a senseless case of police misconduct. we were in shock as lawyers because i've never seen or heard anything like this we're not supposed to be punished like that his fiance walked out of the courtroom when it happened you have to tell three children destiny ariana and gregory the third their pain and suffering their loss of a father is only worth a penny it's just a proposal for a story of law enforcement gone wrong that here you have a dead man laying there and police think he's barricaded in his listening to loud music that had the ford in it ok and that's what police came to see. to

investigate and it's not even illegal it's it's something that police knock on your door and generally tell you to turn it down on friends of the family have launched a cry funding campaign to raise money for the children and it's already received the we're forty six thousand dollars are run at their lawyer say they will continue their battle for justice. goes to the children in the rehabilitation of their family home because it was also destroyed by tear gas we don't understand ninety nine percent and one percent in america your we have the second amendment you know some people love it some people hate it but you're legally allowed to possess a firearm and you're legally allowed to open the door with a firearm and we're going to take it all the way to the u.s. supreme court if we have to it's that important because it's a precedent of law enforcement if you're doing nothing illegal shouldn't be able to

shoot you through your closed your closed garage door it's preposterous a new government has been sworn in in the spanish province of couse a loony and a story and more still to come. when the lawmakers manufactured him sentenced him to public wealth. when the ruling closest to protect themselves. with the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room six. million more you'll need.

the walk off selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings produce to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles they've gone. to sox for the tell you that every gossip and probably by a file photo for the day. off after doesn't tell you on the cool enough list by their product. all the hawks that we along with our loved ones. ok back to the program spain separatist region of castle is back in charge of its own affairs after months of direct rule by madrid the new government was sworn in just hours after spain's new prime minister took over cattle on leader king torah used his first speech to value to continue the breakaway regions push for secession

from madrid the catalan cabinets revival followed seven months of federal control after last year's referendum which was deemed illegal by spain tour replaces the i sued carlists the monk who fled the country on this wanted on charges of rebellion torah is appealing to the country's new prime minister pederast son chose to put cattle on independence back on the negotiating table one of the key figures in the catalan solidarity for independence coalition told r.t. dialogue must not take priority over calling for another referendum. i think that now it's not the it's not the key issue there to make another referendum the referendum it was done i don't know more than two million people what's coming to go and we must not forget these results and new listening to me it's also possible maybe. a second stage. or a day on the way but not now i think that mr total must take consideration and must

act many care with the negotiations always look if they open. with government money from say they will thought they would propose a new. new. a new way. to maintain relations between. the people here when we. wanted him to stay. and you must. have the support of the people. from spain to germany where a controversial new law in the southern state of very n.r. obliges that crucifixes are displayed at the entrances of all public buildings you're showing europe correspondent peter oliver clearly visible crosses are to go up in some public buildings like courthouses police stations and city halls like

this one here in bavaria it's also a new law regarding crucifixes came into effect on the first of june the plan comes courtesy of the fairy is a new president marcus soda and his reasoning is that this is supposed to reinforce bavarian identity in the face of large scale integration given by and signal a signal of filth assurance and bavaria we want to state our western christian culture and that is why clearly we don't get rid of crosses but hang them up this is not an attack on others but only a cultural symbol which we especially appreciate in the various public opinion shows that almost sixty percent of bavaria in specially support the move but when we spoke to people on the streets of nuremberg opinion was more finely balanced i don't think it's a good idea. because it has nothing to do with security the government to separate them to church so why should we do the same i don't think it's

a good idea it's correct because it's a tradition and why not i comment on the one hand we see people wanting to ban the headscarf on the other they're forcing people to shoulder cross that seems the dots to me and. i don't think ovarian identity depends on crosses it is stronger in other ways with beer gardens and local traditions it's a million not gone it's gone these across parts of every day life for us but we respect every freight. just christianity the bavarian president became the target of more than a few online jokes when he announced this idea however those who are charged with actually hanging crucifixes in public buildings while they are on side with the plan. this is not a defensive reaction but a positive reinforcement of our culture and it does not hurt to point out where our roots are in this cross is a symbol not only for christians but for people living in bavaria. but critics say

that this goes against germany's constitutional separation of church and state and say they want to change the law it's a totally wrong decision of the berrien government because it's a very in citizen you can be a muslim you can be a tool you can be non-religious you can be an atheist you minister for example and all these people show no look to the cross and why instead we have a strong tradition arm off a separation of church and state there has to be clarified whether this mixing up. of a religious symbol with the security or rooms of a secular state is really compatible with our bavarian constitution there hasn't been any mad rush to hang crucifixes in buildings like the city hall in nuremberg just behind me here the law didn't come with any deadline and it's also why we

expected to be challenged in germany's highest court at some point in the future peter all of a r.t. of area. friday marked international day for the protection of children and in all walks of life parents will do whatever they have to to keep their offspring i've harm's way here's one mother doing just that in moscow. i'm. gonna come out don't mess with a duck's ducklings keep off the date with olivia's developments by dawn loading the r.t.e. up do not miss a thing see you get to thirty more great programs right ahead and they start.

to. join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. who'll be the next to get the treatment that greece got from the troika the i.m.f. the e.c.b. the e.u. they gang up they destroy a country for profit it's a it's a smash and grab and greece was destroyed they had a referendum and then they didn't pay any attention to the referendum they didn't want the troika wrong and look what happened in greece it turned it into a pit it turned into

a shelter into garbage and now the same bankers are getting together because they need a like a shark always something to destroy to eat and consume so we were trying to figure out would italy be next or spain i think were the two likely candidates so i guess as we've been saying that for five years that this was coming and i guess down italy will be the next meal for the i'm. i'm action are times are we going underground is after this week's top level russian korean meetings in pyongyang pentagon boss mad dog mattis today goes to singapore ahead of president trump's on or off nuclear talks coming up in the show assistance a vision filmmaker whistleblower actor and activist rose mcgowan exposes the

hollywood propaganda model and tells us why not to trust a man in a three thousand dollars suit we speak to her about her manifesto brave demystifying a multi-billion dollar system that seeps into the consciousness of billions all around the world all this and more coming up in today's going underground but first those fighting nato nation neoliberalism were to be on the streets of rome today to protest what they see as the death of democracy in europe electorally successful five star movement that alone its far right allies just didn't want to defect so e.u. appointed i.m.f. man to be prime minister of italy we need to know their own little bit about it don't yet know that you can see meaning if you want to change it if you can believe that if i know what you didn't see anything of what you love you don't know i just might be you know in other words what's happened in europe in the past ten or twenty years it's just astonishing i mean even the wall street journal it's astonishing. pointed out recently in an article to which is correct that in europe

no matter what government is elected you know for a left or right and if you know they follow exactly the same policies nigel farage saw that and so from the left did the mentor of u.k. labor leader jeremy corbin in europe positions are appointed not elected to the commission for example or appointed not. and the way that europe was developed is that the banker and the mountain national corporations have got very powerful. and if you come in on their own they will tell you we're cannot do another acceptable ideas that were today supposed to be given voice on the streets of the eternal city but italy which will be the third largest economy in the e.u. after breck's it has long been targeted for not being in line with washington in one thousand nine hundred the e.u. parliament debated nature collaboration with armed groups to define democracy as

former f.b.i. consultant paul williams told sean stone son of film director oliver about operation gladio one r.t. is watching the hawks during larry or one the years of lead in italy when there were these horrific bombings even the blown your bombing posited from time they were all done by really to stay behind units a gladder your units spurred on by the cia well of destabilization of italy is open to debate no one need to bait how a particular italian american actor is destabilize the arguable propaganda arm of the us military industrial complex hollywood her name is rose mcgowan and she's been in the news for bringing down powerful men like harvey weinstein currently on bail after being indicted by a grand jury for sex crimes that he denies roses appeared in scores of t.v. and feature films directorial debut dorn was nominated for the grand jury prize at sundance and it is work is brave tracing her journey from the children of god cult

in southern italy to becoming a movie star she joins me now rose welcome to going underground so why do you think many people believe this part autobiography part manifesto about hollywood of the journey towards hollywood as well as only what is a rare. i think it's so rare because people don't talk back to hollywood people don't break rake and they don't tell secrets even though this is definitely not a tell all and like i say it's a tell it how it is people don't really do that either is that because of the powerful interests stopping anyone from hiding the what's beneath it i think it is the powerful interest i think it's just because it's how it's always been done you know how we call things you know the best poirot for the job we have the same names we have the same schedule that they did from when they started hollywood don't deviate it just stays the same because these are the unwritten rules but you know i don't really believe in unwritten rules i don't i don't see the point and i i don't

see the point in not saying it like it is really intimations of the horror and you name check one very frame with. francis former. so i mean apart from the fact that a lecture short therapy is actually used later on in the narrative what's the importance of for instance for francis farmer was a classic hollywood actress and she did very few films she was doing very well and the hollywood powers that be wanted her to continue being famous she did not want to be she didn't want to be an actress she didn't want that life for herself and. the studio head in collusion with her mother had her kidnapped and given electroshock therapy to force her to want to be famous and instead as i say in the book it left her just a husk of a woman and that is kind of i wrote that because it's kind of the message you get as a woman there just. would love to be able to do that to me i'm sure of it if it's just don't get out of line little girl don't get out of line i mean how would schork was

it you explain this quite funny actually. because the united states i mean you given that you left the cold in italy and you arrived in the united states which was america truly was i don't know that i've ever gotten over being shocked when america i tell you the truth on a daily basis it's quite shocking. it is incredibly beautiful land but it was very traumatic and i did have a big quibble with orange cheese and not understand it having never seen it before and into me it was just a perfect metaphor for. i mean imagine going to the food there in the eighty's in america it was going from italian food in tuscany you to that was and just everything was different was loud it was it was it was everything you think you cried over the denny's getting i cried over eating spaghetti a fast food restaurant i thought this is it i'm stuck and when it comes to the

classism we're dealing with and that's the word to use when food stamps are involved at school. people ashamed people are shamed for that and it was interesting going back and forth between my father who at the time did have you know some money to than my mother who is putting yourself back to university so we're on a very lean budget and it is it likes to pretend it doesn't have that class structure that it got free of it but that's who we were formed by you know america anyway and it's not free of it and how exactly do you think it manifests in different ways and none of us everywhere just from if you're poor you go to the drugstore the chemist to get your face cream instead of you know the and in the u.k. would be so for it is for the fancy people but it's the same people behind say l'oreal making both products or. you know they follow you in places if they don't feel like you're quite right for it or they exist all the examples of it the subtleties the if you go into

a wal-mart there which is you know store by and large it's a very cheap clothing store and i think they've just sold it a big market here but it was interesting i went into one recently and all the clothing marketed towards people of a certain means were all fluorescent and i thought you're not going to go into a store on you know rodeo drive with all these flora it was like so we can easily identify the poor people there's a lot of psychology that goes into the stuff and i i had a lot of time i suppose to think about it and your choice of rebellion like so many other children all around the world was the only way that many of them have music and fashion music and fashion and just i didn't i was very ok with being different i was very ok i was looking differently and i was ok with putting out a message of i guess i'm not like you and it wasn't they just knew that

inherently stink of lee you know when you're from somewhere else they love making you feel like you're the freak and i just but it's not me through the country of immigration in the book you say you hear the teacher saying we're trying to teach you the pledge of allegiance you might get the communist out of you and then you say that's how you were fascists. didn't even get a no no historical and you know not really and the books were really wrong and the books that they taught with and you still do. i didn't put this in the book or it got cut but i was very influenced by malcolm x. when i was eleven and i was your average eleven year old reading material but i was reading the autobiography of malcolm x. and he said something that really stuck with me at that time when i'd come to america and he said why would you let your enemies teach your children. and not just kind of really stuck with me in terms of realizing i didn't want their

information in my head i didn't want the propaganda in my head i'll take what i want leave the rest and there was a powerful influence it was probably well malcolm x. doing known for by any means necessary some that kind of power in any kind of move of justice it once correct influenced me incredibly. they i mean this is the story of the autobiographical part of the story quite bizarre the story where not to being a drug addict a drug addict you end up in rehab you just. i mean stepdad you know really at the end of the day. but you're told about drugs rehab i talk i learned a lot about drugs rehab i learned about what they do how much street value was what they look like where the best areas are to procure them and i thought it was the most bizarre form of teaching and obviously they want to repeat customers in this particular rehabilitation center so i chose to leave it because drugs rife in. in hollywood as well where would one would say the right for the much everywhere

but in hollywood i'm sure yes and the meanness you saw in the streets after that when you were homeless and so when you say in terms of meanness it was worse amongst the three thousand dollars it's far worse there was a lot more kindness on the street there's a lot more kindness shown and that is something. you kind of fall into a band of people quite quickly. and i i really i think fundamentally that came from people that did tell the truth and so i just naively assumed people were telling me the truth. once i got to hollywood i couldn't understand why they would lie i would think about it not that they can't be like him because what would be the motive the motive is simply to live. and this is the studio executive system which what it didn't change since the one nine hundred thirty s. was earlier and earlier as a matter it hasn't changed and the. it's the same amount of directors in the

directors guild of america talk about that in the book you know and that's those are all the directors that are making the product that you see that goes into your mind and worldwide and that statistic that ninety six percent males in that d.g.a. directors guild that hasn't changed one hundred forty six why is it being so able to prevent anyone from storming the barricades all cults are very good at that are . and supported by the media as well with the raw specifically with me the role of the media is is very much and has always been you know hand in hand with hollywood and the government's completely hands off obviously this government's not going to be doing anything about it but the government's always been pretty much hands off except for the blacklisting era after that stopped the original blacklisting you know joseph mccarthy in the fifty's it was cointelpro somewhere in between rather than twelve unsanctioned yeah but it was the black listing for mean media the way to speak about how media treated me was that they were in fact paid often has been

proven to to drag me to say bad things about me for the last twenty years really and you think you're just i mean in this story it is. until until the end about the ending i mean you had this one man to a brick counter chrysalis records to describe his story and when he was one of the one light in your life he was a light cantor was somebody who helped me out of a bad situation and i hope for the future and then he was murdered still unsolved. and that was there's a point where i mean i say it in the book are earmarked for weird sometimes and i look at that like the ultimate theft and he was stolen and that was a really it was a seminal moment in my life and also it's just it was really dark obviously you know and that was a dark that was a dark dark time.
