resulted in year a civilian casualties in every country involved with up to two hundred civilians dying in yemen alone. the text was. i for. a foreign policy analyst jonathan shafi things people in the share should be worried about this development. well in the area of go not just everyday but say they should be concerned about the damage that these drones can do and we've seen a new minister cations hundreds actually over the years civilians have been killed and of course the reaction from the local population is what you would expect one

of anger and one that wants to see these drones and most of the country that the u.s. claims it's going to bring the region closer to paste you see any any sort of validity within that claim. i think the problem with this is of course that's always the claim that was a claim of afghanistan of which there still are not. the claim you can even go all the way back to vietnam of course this is always the public relations clean the reality of course is that the united states is looking to secure a puppet in the regions to secure its own interest in the region and indeed to expand its power across the region and therefore public safety the safety of civilians bringing about peace we are all actually subordinates those interests the deployment of drones by the united states not just here but am elsewhere across the region and not just on under donald trump but under obama's way o. and often doesn't come to publicly for many months after the operation start if

they do it all and that's because the nature of this kind of warfare is to be as far as it possibly can they don't want in the headlines domestically. it's been revealed to us authorities have been secretly tracking ordinary american travelers under surveillance program called quiet skies the move targets people who haven't been investigated by any u.s. agency that may pose a risk suspicious behavior like strong body odor in regular sleeping patterns and changing has closed could flag up someone for surveillance well there's problems a small group of unarmed or armed i should say undercover air marshals to follow them on board the unit then complain compiles individual reports which are sent back to the transportation security administration where after the story broke the agency issued a statement claiming it's standard practice. frederick marshall's may deploy on flights in furtherance of the t.s.a.

mission to ensure the safety and security of passengers crew members and aircraft throughout the aviation sector or we get a reaction on this probably investigative reporter dave lindorff and political commentator steve malzberg who didn't see eye eye to. if i now know there are air marshals who are armed on my flights most of my flights i don't care who they're watching as long as they're there so i don't have a problem with this you know this is very akin to when they first started doing the no fly list which i wrote about for salon magazine what we found out were there actually were two lists there was the people that they knew were. dangerous terrorists but they didn't have the goods on them and they didn't let them fly and then there was a huge list which was people they harassed because of their politics and they were there were problems with the notify list and people who didn't belong there were on there but look we had it sure that we didn't have any more nine eleventh's and guess what are more shoe bombers and guess what we have been they have kept us safe

and that's the main thing that's the main concern of people traveling on an airplane is that they're kept safe and if the t.s.a. has determined that yes surely it is a good honor steve for that in there as a leader that is saying that i'm glad all patterns and maybe changing that and maybe changing hair color which could be suspicious and it's not only have color and body odor those are two to promote examples but you know what let's take a poll of the american people and overwhelmingly they'll say do what it takes to keep us safe like these things get out of hand if people don't get to know that they're on a list and get to challenge the list and that was the problem with the no fly list that's the problem with this list that nobody knows i hear out of hand maybe your eyes and then they say why isn't it we know maybe they're watching you know maybe they're watching probably will they weren't going after the people that were the real problems and risks and look i got a i got a beard i look like maybe you know some jihadi if the air marshal is spending his

time looking at me all the through the flight because my beard you know he's probably missing the guy who has a plastic gun and slipped through the the. metal detector the proof is in the putting we have not thank god. we have not had this kind the kind of nine eleven follow up if you're on that list if you're on that list of people for the federal marshals to what air marshals to watch and that list goes to law enforcement in the united states it's going to stay there and it's going to impact your life in some way because you're not going to know it's there and they're going to watch you in different ways that may affect your employment your promotion could affect all kinds of things you should have a right to know once they decide that you're not a suspicious person supposedly after ninety days that you're on that list and then get swiped there's nobody saying that happens this is an out of control problem already and it's going to get worse to say it's out of control to say that we've

missed to say that we've missed people because at the because we're watching this one we missed that one there are no and they point to the shoe bomber i was a long time ago they say people are going to get promotions people are going to get in and get jobs there's no evidence of this this is massive state this is not mass it's hysteria and everyone getting to fly a lot of privilege if you don't want to have every kind you don't want to get on a list don't fly don't fly. in syria many locals are being allowed to leave the northwestern province of fire russian sponsored humanitarian corridor the exodus follows the decision to allow militants and rebels to settle that turning it into the last bastion in the country.

the minute. they demanded six million leave or has to call the two sons when we reached the checkpoint they threatened us and you have to turn back now we're going home we have from up wild who. yes she was. good it was helps to detect explosives and weapons we press the button and scan the object it has a special indicator this call is one hundred percent clean but we've seen calls with weaponry be full. support the majority of people come with skin and breathing problems all children

and the mothers have been checked over so they were given recommendations and medicine to start treatment because it's a good idea weapon which basically if you. keep. a national relations professor abu abdullah believes the humanitarian corridor is a good development for the future of syria without these kind of humanitarian aid difficulties. for the rebuttal go back to their homes. and villages especially after the terrorist organization have control of these areas are speaking about the. future of syria without stability

security has gone by the tories and there is nothing churchill because of that i says that it's very very important and it's at the end of the day helping the syrian people to have to war to make the economy go to have this. the beauty after the civilians of these. fascist war against the syrian people. monday marks a year since the death of khalid a journalist working with r.t. arabic he died at the age of twenty five after shelling by islamic states in syria r.t. has made a documentary about khalid's work in syria and he is a pretty. yes

but he loved the morning of the day he died i was worried started to come up with the scariest of images i was afraid he'd be captured so i had a very bad feeling. we were near the front line the syrian army was but. it was over and we were about to pack our equipment stood near it i put our helmets on him i just wanted to take a photo as a memory of my work with the film crew in the explosion. i

realized something had happened didn't know what exactly out of habit i started to film everything after i began filming i saw a lot on the camera. room then realized i couldn't move my legs i couldn't see anything my eyes were covered in blood mixed with dust a cool for khaled but no. i wanted to go on that mission but how did it get here i had a rule she was bright and very determined she was a good journalist you could see that by his reports he did a lot not only for journalism but by his model and as well he helped people soldiers she would bring them food and product line.

or fresno that i want to do something good for people family did a lot for me and now i'm trying to do everything for my loved ones that's my main goal. party has set up a special award in carloads honor to recognize the best reporting from war zones the ceremony began with a minute's silence during the awards karolides mother gave a moving speech and if it had not much article of the law. middle you must sort of cut five year to middle high. with a moment. that us the. market and the market and i mean i don't

want to set a little. and don't. mend in. her duty. because i had been abused i had a corner and that i could emerge as a hostile if you listen let's. get that out there to show the video. of us and i had them in ages it was me there is it in a jar is it a kind of thing or how can come along murder her. now concern over global conflict feelings of helplessness and spending more time in social media could be symptoms of a new mental condition therapists in the u.s. say they are seeing increasing numbers of patients with what they call trying to do so to apparently attacks both his supporters and his critics those that dislike the world will end while supporters feel isolated from society and even their families democrats also fret about the origin of trump success the twenty sixteen election

which they insist was rigged by russia or he's kind of moved and has more now the ideas that are commonly labeled as conspiracy theories at this point are most commonly associated with right wingers and top supporters in the public mind however it seems that liberals also have their share of tinfoil hat thinking polls show that fifty five percent of democrats believe that russia actually did tamper with the voting results only thirteen percent of republicans buy into this idea which is pretty universally rejected even by the staunchest russia bashers know of no evidence that through cyber intrusions boats were altered or suppressed they did not change any ways or anything of that sort so if russia did indeed carry out a lection fraud on behalf of donald trump why would james clapper and john brennan and the intelligence community say that they didn't do that are fifty five percent

of democrats actually convinced that the cia is covering up for russia that's quite a conspiracy theory we decided to ask new yorkers about it do you think that russia changed the voting results in the last election no no not at all ok and fifty five percent of democrats apparently believe that why media that's why. propaganda fake news trump says it best there. usual misinformed or they have their own agenda beyond that something else do you think that russia changed the voting results in the last election yes tell us now well i'm sure through technology they were able to somehow finagle possibly i think so i've heard that a lawyer so. yeah maybe but i don't know that they found. one story that you keep bringing up and attack president trump and i think they're going to try to milk as much as they can. i personally don't see any

evidence of russian millionaire elections i lived through credible evidence that you have it yet i think that our media is a pearl and wall in the united states and people don't know the truth about what's really happening pressure is not the enemy that they make it out to be some people think that the moon landing was fake others think that nine eleven was an inside job and it seems that the majority of rank and file democrats believe that somehow russia got into voting machines and changed votes for hillary clinton to vote for donald trump the truth is out there but perhaps people should look for it someplace else it will mop and artsy new york well the frenzy surrounding crombie even so his hollywood style vandalized last week and this spot a wry response from princeton. you

know that i thought that you know it was. like. isn't there a side war somewhere in russia trump start can be moved yeah destroying trump hollywood star is great but have you tried voting in the midterm election. president now has security out there on the boulevard protecting its stars. police in the u.s. city of minneapolis have released body comforted showing two officers shooting dead a black man during a chase. on

june the twenty third police received a call reporting a man firing a handgun in the street while chasing him officers fired making a dozen shots according to eyewitnesses the thirty one year old suspect there's a moment he was shouting that he done nothing wrong and begged police not to kill him the case sparked a wave of protests across the city. several groups protested outside the police department following the shooting demanding the two officers be sanct protesters also called for an independent investigation from outside the state and for the city to pay for the victims' funeral expenses demonstrators have vowed to keep their protests going the fishes called the case tragic but refused to comment as the investigation is ongoing. more than a thousand people were killed by police in the u.s. last year a quarter were black despite african-americans making up only thirteen percent of the population on this real time map the number of people killed by police this

year has now exceeded. six hundred. we'll be back in just a half an hour with the latest news but for more in the meantime i talked into a little. exercise as well as a survival guide. when customers go buy your system. then else well reducing our. that's undercutting but what's good for the market is not good for the global economy. but. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world today we're coming to you from new

york city for a jam packed show which includes professor of economics americas at university of massachusetts amherst richard wolfe plus we look again at hacking and from an interesting angle with r.t. correspondent trinity charges plus we're also joined by the c.e.o. of kony says limited tom kaufman to find out about a new crypto currency and monetary system all that ahead but with so much we get right to it. to help get an economist perspective on some of the issues of the day we are once again pleased to be joined by professor of economics of america university massachusetts amherst richard well professor thank you so much for being with us again and it's good to be with you in person to be here so you know you talk about trade all the time and we're in the middle of all these trade wars and we get all caught up in sort of the issues of the day and what did the president tweet and who did he offend this day or the next but give us

a little perspective sort of a primer on trade over the years and the use of tariffs well basically a tariff is a tax. and they said government deciding to put a tax on something and parentheses is kind of interesting that republicans would normally tell us that they're against taxes are now busily pushing taxes it's just a tax that's designed to shape the trade so for example if you tax good coming in from another country that has a particular name called the tower of things just the name of that kind of tax so why do you do that to protect the american company producing that good inside the united states from the competition abroad if the people abroad can make the quality better or the price lower that americans will buy that good and to protect the businesses here who might be producing something not so good at the high price you

put a tower of because it it doesn't level the playing field it tilts it but of course it's never admitted that way it's always said as the president is doing that the field was already tilted and by my doing it i'm bringing it back into balance in order to know whether he's telling the truth or not you would really have to know the details which are not public about how this is done what it costs to produce them over there and what it costs here so it's a murky area but the bottom line is it's a tax meant to manipulate the conditions under which goods are sold across countries boundaries you know it's very interesting when you talk about well republicans of traditional you know they're against taxes and and i guess that's been at least a montra but they're also in favor of free markets and you know they're not free when you know protectionist policies like this so it's a directly at odds with you know the values that they espouse let's talk about one particular area and this is been in the new lately the auto industry which frankly

of all the folks out there they've really been frontal in opposition to wall street journal had a full page ad last week and they say we have. your efforts but you really are wrong on this that it's going to cost jobs not just in the short term but the longer term and car prices are going to go up but these haven't worked out over the past tariffs on autos give us some history on that yes the united states was a leader in the automobile industry so in the early years when it was really developing that we had a better built out automobile production system we were in favor of free trade because we wanted the world to be the market for what americans were good at producing but as always happens after a while other countries wanted to get in on this japanese companies german companies they wanted also to get the profits of a world that was becoming more and more dependent on automobiles so they did what countries have always done in that circumstance they protected their little market

from the american onslaught because we were the most efficient producing the lowest price for the ford motor company famous in that and the best quality but they caught up by putting the tower if by the way the united states caught up to britain after we thought being a colony of theirs by putting tower of in this country so we could build up if the in economics it's called the infant industry or so it was so what so what do we left we left england because of tariffs and then we after a while said you know what we'll have some of our own absolutely to protect us in the one nine hundred seventy s. the japanese and the germans became better at producing cars there's no nice way to say it otherwise that's the truth that's what americans discovered we were very good at producing boats with four wheels yes they were but they were better the japanese primarily producing efficient effective cars as you say at a cheaper price are a cheaper price same thing with the germans with v.w. and so on so what happened the one nine hundred seventy s.

was suddenly the american automobile industry had real competitors and they didn't want to face them because they would lose profits in the free market so suddenly their. commitment to free market order that various dinners when they get up and give a speech flew out the window and they got what's called quotas in the one nine hundred seventy s. the united states threatened tariffs on the japanese particularly and in exchange for not getting the tower put on them the japanese agreed to what's called a quota system they would not send more than a certain number of japanese vehicles to the united states in any given year people may remember there were times when if you wanted to buy a honda you went to your hundred dealer and you signed up on a waiting list because you had to wait for the company the next year to get it where they had the quotas are all that the quota is is an alternative to a tariff that has the same purpose of protecting now here's the most important story about cars back in the one nine hundred sixty s.

the united states which was having a fight with europe about protecting each other's industries decided to levy a tariff on trucks ok that tariff twenty five percent would talk and a big tax on any truck made outside the united states that they bring in that made trucks in this country wildly profitable because it meant that ford g.m. chrysler could jack up the price of their trucks because they didn't have to face competition since the book person outside bring it in would have to lop another twenty five percent on ok that's been in effect for the last half a century the notion of the united states as some innocent that is suffering from the tower of of others is a pretense again the only reason from can get away with it is people don't know and the mainstream media have a hard time confronting granted he says so many things i know it's difficult but

nonetheless here is an example of a really gross situation americans didn't fall in love with a truck. americans love their trucks because it's very profitable to produce a truck the most profitable product the g.m. and ford have but they don't have it because they're good at trucks they have it because there's a protective tariff that has been imposed that prevents japanese and german and italian and other companies from bringing the trucks in here so there's a little bit of a fakery here a theater of even steven but it isn't the truth at all a little bit maybe an understatement before we go to another subject i do want to get to another one but where do you see this ending all these trade wars or and as you say the theater surrounding it i think it's going to be a sad situation for mr trump because i think it's a hopeless quest let me explain it this way mr trump is trying to position himself as the champion make america great again by leveling the playing field he's

basically saying i want to be able to sell goods in your country while i don't do allow you to do it here i want the terms improved for us at your expense now what other leader can do that if the recent may in england or mccraw in france or mrs merkel and in a germany if they went along with this if they caved in their own people would throw them out because they would be looked at as having given the way the conditions for their working people to enable mr trump to have an easier time politically in his country this is a not big i'm not going to work now they'll be lots of verbiage and lots of cover to make it look like i've gotten concessions i notice he already began that talk today but the truth of it is this can't go this cannot work because the pressure inside these countries to get protection for an economy in trouble is too strong and the ability to force your trading partner to absorb all your costs that won't work either so i think he's going to be badly disappointed and it'll be

a little bit like the affordable care act a big f. . heard lots of noise in verbiage but not much to show my last question is you know that he really mr trump built a coalition which is a tried and true coalition and that as you know business interests the large banks and others and fortune five hundred company executives on the one hand and also the political support the money and then you know conservative americans and nothing wrong with that but that does seem to be sort of falling apart why we mention the auto industry but there's a lot other business leaders do you think this is sustainable from a political perspective i know that's not exactly your area of expertise but i imagine you have an opinion on it absolutely look the one concrete achievement put aside all the verbiage the one thing he did was the december two thousand and seventeen tax cut an enormous gift to the business community in this country and you're quite right that solidified their support they have no reason to be critical

of him he delivered a bigger tax cut than they could have reasonably expected so he did that but in the meanwhile the mass of the people whose votes he needs let's call them the older whiter traditional american working class they're still waiting for the big delivery of jobs of incomes of a great america again that's real or make believe we'll never know they haven't gotten their goodies so where is he going to get it for them all right he wants to take wealth from all the parts of the world by changing the trading arrangements they're not going to let him do that but what's left for him he's not going to tax the rich he's one of them he's helping them and that's too late for that there's one thing left which is to really whack the poor people of this country to take away the government supports the government programs for them in order to move some of that to the people who backed him i think he's going to try to do that i think

you already.
