10:31 am
problems and divisions among them but they're all united in their hatred and that's not so much an intellectual exercise as it is a referendum on him and this divisive atmosphere we have in america when it seems politics in america has become such a hot topic could see become a source of inspiration for the celebrities now. right now everybody is laser focused on every detail of this administration and i am too i read news online but mostly i watch him it's in b.c. they're flawed but rachel maddow is really good. trying to ministration officials have been sending babies and other young children

10:35 am
the live ammunition from the front line. that's a good to have the billboard a great. despite everything the spite the tear gas jeeps that fired tear gas despite the tear gas. oh that's right you guys and despite best snipers that shoot live ammunition on the palestinian protesters journalists and paramedics the palestinians continue to protest east gaza strip along the fence in five different locations in the gaza strip well the other side of this the i.d.f. says it responded according to standard procedures he claims the measures were prompted by the presence of more than eight thousand or it turned violent rioters friday saw the nineteenth great march of return rally since they all began four months ago latterly but political science says professor said nima told us israel's guilty things of using disproportionate. as
10:36 am
a matter of fact israeli are using the life of a militia or over the place not only whenever it's comes to the palestinians a confrontation usually they use the machine most of the times sometimes they use the rubber bullets but mainly it's organized by a lot of busting in factions or of palestinian factions and it is representing the palestinian will go to the borders and go to clean the right of return to their homes which was a land which was taken from them in one hundred forty. the other hand the better students have nothing what do you mean by guides israeli have if sixteen and thirty five and they have tanks they have artillery they have everything and there seem to have kites this is absolutely unmatch watching out international this weekend among stories ahead despite recent positive changes women's rights are once again in the spotlight in saudi arabia after the break.
10:37 am
you know world big part of newton's law and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront a shouldn't let it be an arms race in this spearing dramatic development the only
10:38 am
i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. again russia's foreign ministry says the recent evacuation of the white helmets from syria shows that the controversial rescue group turned out to be quote foreign agents working in anti syrian interests for huge amounts of money israel help them flee to western countries last month of affairs that they could face persecution as the syrian government took control of the country the cruise but enjoying funds from the u.s. and its nato allies but critics point to multiple the controversy surrounding the white helmets among other instances they would see that executions and even waving
10:39 am
terrorist flags with you how this civilians on the ground in syria have also been bringing forth damning evidence against them. debbie at all you saw with no they would bring cameras and explosives something to destroy for example this building here that find people in the streets and promised the money or food just say whatever they needed. to syrian first responders who risked their lives to say about theirs in war torn aleppo the face of on relenting brutality heroes have emerged. to tumble and yet whenever food aid was brought into the white helmets and the
10:40 am
rebels would take it all for themselves they give us nothing not even bread. they have all chosen to risk their lives to save others. who for when you see the television when we go out to buy food we see them if there was a collapsed building off drugs shelling they cordoned off the area and save rebel fighters people they cared about they would leave the civilians the same happened not far from here a building was destroyed in shelling and they came just to pull their own out as usual they lift civilian. we've been able to get these brave people and their families out of syria after the extraordinary work they've done saving lives the white helmets nice people they help the rebels they did in save civilians the locals out for rebels.
10:41 am
so plenty of strong accusations there host of artes going underground show afshin rattansi put them direct to the head of that controversial group. so me about. can each the boy whose photos were awards he was covered in dust and the white helmets of the bordley saved his life. the truth is as you know i'm running definitions home was bombed and he was extracted by our teams from under the rubble we did not photograph in the source of the photograph that was published was not to the white helmets but a journalistic reporter we saved him and his brother who stayed in hospital for several months until he recovered we were surprised at the way he was used and exploited by the russian government to speak in the media. that me she's father been given the safety and been taken to
10:42 am
a safe place he would have spoken differently than he did under the threats of the syrian regime he knows well that we saved his son and his brother who stayed in hospital for several months until his full recovery because mother. told r.t. the photograph was used to exploit him with regard to the way bill much they primarily work with the press is a professional tool they are using we had a pulitzer prize winning journalist seymour hersh on the program telling us the way the helmets were a propaganda organization in truth a man's father is obliged to speak in that way and he's not in total safety under the regime that has announced the assassination of eleven thousand convicts in the prisons over the last few weeks alone he is obliged to speak that way and i understand his position however we know that we have fulfilled our duty when we rescued his two sons from under the rubble after they were bombed by the syrian regime and this is our duty and we do not expect thanks from anybody for fulfilling our duty towards our own people in syria as for the other journalists i don't know
10:43 am
who they are the journalist that you are referring to those who have come up with such talk unless they are part of those journalists that create propaganda against the white helmets which have become known by the name we do not feel the need to respond to them because they are aware of the fact that they are lying and we know that they are lying well that's just a quick excerpt from. much bigger interview the full thing can be throw to day is going on at various times for the day here not international you also cut she would you like on a website as well r.t. dot com and our you tube channel. human rights watch and amnesty international reporting that two prominent women rights activists have been arrested in saudi arabia the arrest of some arpad our we and the sea mouse to die a signal that the saudi authorities see any peaceful dissent whether past or present as a threat to their autocratic rule this unprecedented level of persecution of human rights defenders in saudi arabia is a disturbing sign that the crackdown is far from over. well they arrested activists
10:44 am
for protesting against laws which compel women to get permission from men to study narry old travel abroad not seem as sad as a long time campaign of women's and shia minority rights the other arrested activists is some up and also a veteran activist women's rights in saudi arabia is sending her brother rife's a distant activist to serve in currently a ten year jail term for insulting islam online and the about to summit she received the twenty twelve international women of courage award from then u.s. secular state hillary clinton. siméon you are a human rights activist a monitor of human rights in your country of saudi arabia thank you or the saudi government began its crackdown on women's rights activists just over two months ago the official reason for the latest arrest is unknown but
10:45 am
previous detainees have been accused of having suspicious contacts with foreign entities as has been termed but then saudi officials had warned further arrests could be carried out as the investigation proceeded even so saudi crown prince solomon is eager to show a pretty different side promising reforms and even most likely lifting the ban on women driving vehicles but all that said staff at the u.n. human rights commission his office right now have got grave concerns over this latest. we are concerned about the continuing arrests and our parents apparently arbitrary detentions of human rights defenders and activists in saudi arabia including women's rights activists since the fifteenth of may at least fifteen government critics were detained we understand that eight of them were later temporarily released until the completion of their procedural review political activism of the judge would believe that such as using his vast wealth to get away with the us. can see old pictures of somewhere else but always with michelle obama
10:46 am
hillary clinton and she was celebrated in the state department now that she's arrested we don't hear anything from the state department calling out the saudi government for this terrible act of arresting her for absolutely nothing so we have seen a crackdown in recent months on human rights activists women activists and this is another example of what they need that the crown prince is a reformer because he is sending the message to the saudi women you will not get any changes by your grassroots activism i am the only one that will decide every time the un does something to speak out against abuses in saudi arabia so the arabia then turns around and blackmails the united nations saying we will stop giving you money let's face it it's a very wealthy country from all of the oil that it sells and it uses its wealth to not only by friends and by silence from governments like the united states but
10:47 am
to buy silence at the united nations and. some other top stories a problem so far from moscow this. early afternoon is just twenty seven's boss day the fourth of august one is kevin owed some fortune for a great weekend. and it is the this is. the church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic solution so what the bishop means to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to
10:48 am
a different spot were the previous standards not known the highest ranks of the catholic church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end of that's known as the end and then i can flip out at tuesday's out and . stop. its path to the. same wrong why don't we all just all. to all get to shape out just because etiquette and gay trig equals the trail. when something you find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
10:49 am
to gain this national camera. roughly once they showed some of these for them. to joan cool videos and someone with the rocky string abs. going down more on string i don't roughly don't t.v. . tiger this is a cause report the star all so easy sometimes things are difficult days max i know the second half you're talking to miss shed lucky you're continuing on this theme of the trade war because in the last episode karl done under said well trade wars can actually be a good thing especially in the situation whereby the united states has been losing for the past twenty thirty years against china in
10:50 am
a trade war that has been one sided michele bloch we know from his website. talk dot com that he is totally against a trade war so we'll see what happens in the second half about that but one group of people who are very happy with the trade war and as it's been happening so far happy with tariffs steel industry emerges as trade war winner president donald trump's metal tariffs have sent steel prices surging and sparked blockbuster profits for steel manufacturers reliance steel and aluminum hauled in record sales thanks to eighteen percent spike in prices nucor recorded the best second quarter in its history its profits more than doubled steel companies are very happy with this and looks like they're winning yeah well let's call them inflation so inflation is coming in a big way we've had this inflation very little inflation for decades and interest rates have gone down for thirty years bond markets have rallied for thirty years now the whole thing is reversing interest rates are going up and so is inflation so
10:51 am
we'll see how that plays out if wages rise faster than inflation. such then trying to wonder if wages don't rise as fast as this neal inflation and we've got trouble well at the end of the article they do mention your point of view so they do first talk about the gains the winnings how happy the winners are in the steel industry they're making more money their profits are going up their shareholders are happy their workers are happy but in the other side of the equation they do mention that of course still customers are less than thrilled material costs have risen by as much as fifty percent f.j. pharaoh brooklyn company that fabricate steel used in manhattan skyscrapers steel companies may have record profits but it does hurt the mom and pop shop said joe tess kooky f.d.m. pharaoh's founder and c.e.o. so the people in manhattan where there is a construction boom going on they need a lot of steel and they're not happy with that there's one major thing they're going to compass is all this is called globalization for thirty years will post
10:52 am
world war two is all about globalization yet all the globalized institutions like the i.m.f. the world bank the un world all these things but now they're all being challenged by trump and we're entering into a period of to globalization which would mean higher prices inflation across the board and if wages follow suit then there will be peace in the valley if wages don't follow there will be lots of problems ok so we're going to tie it those together into other segments here where they talk to some of the guys from the steel companies that are winning. trump impose twenty five percent steel tariffs that has seen the price of steel in the united states soar by forty one percent tire the benchmark price of u.s. steel has assumed forty one percent higher and nine hundred seventeen dollars per short ton so nucor is seizing on the amount momentum however they nucor i said is gaining they their stock prices soaring their profits are soaring and what are they
10:53 am
doing well they're seizing on the momentum to plow one billion dollars back in two . it's business a huge increase that will mostly go towards expansion quote what will happen to our great country if we continue to operate with a massive trade imbalance said the c.e.o. we agree with the administration's efforts to address this issue. well that is so new cars saying we're going to take the huge savings and we're going to build factories and we're going to hire people they're going to be making more money than they were before and inflation's back the big losers in all this and you will know that trump ism in the trump economic model has really hit hit hard when the bond market starts on ravel because you can't have a rising bond market and inflation at the same time so when the bond market starts to unravel you know that trump is a trump economic model has really taken hold i means that workers get higher pay the prices go up but your wages go up so you're going to feel richer main street will benefit wall street will get kicked in the teeth well certainly you and i can
10:54 am
recall in the one nine hundred seventy s. when inflation was very high but member wages used to be paid to that inflation i remember my mother getting a price increase you know her wage was increased every year like seven eight percent based on the inflation that was similar so we still get our incomes more pegged to the rate of inflation of course now there is not what happened in the eighty's with that or in reagan deregulation or they separated the functions of wall street and capital raising from the economy at large so that companies and the privileged elites on wall street could engage in financial engineering or deregulation that allowed them to make huge amounts of gains personally for their yachts and park avenue penthouses but that the money that they were the gloaming from the central bank would bypass wages and they did this through world trade organization outsourcing to china and essentially outsourcing all kinds of ecological cost all the extra nowadays of running a business where x.
10:55 am
outsourced to china ok now that period of globalization as it's called is being reversed is dig. globalization higher inflation i mentioned the seventy's and wages used to increase with inflation that's because a lot of people in the audience are probably too young to remember that we used to have a gold standard and thus these huge trade imbalances were not something that happened because of course the united states didn't want a massive trade imbalance because that meant they had to ship their gold to the likes of france and then when the united kingdom asked for their three hundred million dollars worth of gold the u.s. said no nine hundred seventy one they went off the gold standard so because of that during the seventy's we had that monetary it was very unstable and lots of inflation because and best years were doubting whether or not we could have a total system and nevertheless the workers were still aware of what the value of money was what had only no wages were tied to the inflation number and of course in
10:56 am
the seventy's you have the discontinuation of the gold standard but you also have the oil embargo of the seventy's was shot the price of energy and that meant the price of wages were had to be tied to that increase in prices as well so workers are benefiting until then the eighty's you know that we just covered a moment ago but you're right that way workers have great wage parity they are of the issues they understood the terms so this is what i'm saying is another way to get rid of this massive trade imbalance of course is just what they hate and john maynard keynes said and predicted just as he predicted world war two and then he predicted this moment in time that if we didn't have some sort of global trade unit where by all that we would have massive trade imbalances the trade surpluses in germany and china are just as dangerous and destabilizing to economies around the world as the massive imbalance the trade deficit that the united states has so any
10:57 am
country who chooses to be like the united states they do have an exorbitant privilege of the u.s. dollar as a world reserve currency but it does. at the cost of their workers so to get back to new course a new corps is a company when they're now policies that are driven by the ministration policies and the change in steel pricing and what this is happening to workers that's kind of the cutting edge to what's happening in industrial merica it on wall street it's kind of interesting are we seeing a rotation out of the fang stocks or the network stocks like facebook and twitter and apple are we seeing a rotation into industrials like the new cores i mean this is so that the wall will market have a net kind of rebalancing and not a crash effect i mean that could be the possibility that's a bit of an understatement to say rotation out of the shares because of course facebook and twitter have had a complete collapse not that twitter is kind of in that market of those online you know monopolies and all of our police but again going with this u.s.
10:58 am
dollar issue. you know our frequent guest jim rickards has said that he believes there will be an s.t.r. standard special drawing right that the i.m.f. special drawing right that's kind of what keynes had kind of suggested similar to that with a bank or of a global trading unit a currency not issued by any particular national government but it's a trading unit to avoid the situation of trade imbalances another thing jim records said about the u.s. dollar system is that. after twenty thirty years of since the collapse of communism the soviet system the us history supposedly ended and there becomes a point where an empire gets hubris and they start wielding their weapon of saying you can't access our u.s. dollar system so i want to turn to a quote which came last week from vladimir putin when he was at
10:59 am
a conference i think it was in south africa and he was asked about russia's dumping of the u.s. dollar treasuries he said he said you know we're not getting rid we're not going to we're not against the u.s. dollar system but just you know where we're protecting ourselves from these sanctions and stuff like that and the sort of hysteria in the united states says no plans to reject dollar but risks should be stemmed russia has no plans to reject the u.s. dollar even though washington has undermined trust in its currency by using it as an argument in political disputes russian president vladimir putin said putin also said the united states undermines trust and the dollar as a reserve currency by imposing restrictions on settlements and dollars this prompts dozens of countries to consider other options putin said adding that the chinese yuan is now obtaining more of the qualities required for the role of reserve currency you know the u.s. acting as a bully regarding their u.s. dollar financial system could ironically end up helping workers in the united
11:00 am
states that's right to do u.s. dollar being dropped as a reserve currency and so you titanic shifts are tectonic shifts i should say in the global economy and one of those would be use of alternative currencies again i think it's end up being better for the average person if any letters protected this predictive us but what i'm saying is that i have lived in europe and i could witness with my own two eyes the life the lifestyle the quality of living of the ordinary european is vastly superior to the lifes. while of the ordinary american and part of that they used to have as miserable an experience you could see that in europe before you know when they had empires once they got rid of the empires their lifestyles and their living standards have increased rapidly i think if you could see it across paris for example. servatius before that the lifestyles in europe are vastly improved.
