i mean. we have not yet begun in the past eighteen months the pentagon started through trove of public embarrassment because of their want to be biggest for instance this march donald trump casually remark that u.s. troops would be pulling out of syria in the nearest future the bomb shell decision the pentagon was not only unaware of but also disagreed with apparently will become a serial like very soon let the other people take care of it now very soon very soon will come and i've heard rumors of people talking about the trial but it's not over why did the announcement this week change anything in that sense nothing actually has changed fast forward next month trump says he wants to deploy the national guard on the mexican border let's just say the pentagon didn't have too much fun when it had to take the rap for this we're going to be guarding our border with the military members who are likely to be involved this overall expanded operation so that will all be determined by the requirements that are given to us

first but i don't have any specific details on what support we could provide but they will provide us with the requirements and then from that will determine how many and what's a mission and how many will deploy back in twenty seventeen trump went to france where he saw the iconic still day parade wow that's nice why don't we have something like this you thought on reports suggested no one wanted the parade but trump well he had reluctantly worked on it in a hands off mode the due date is just over three months away now the event is reportedly in the early planning stages and it's still unclear who's going to foot the millions of dollars bill some orders trump is giving out of all places on twitter last year he first tweeted that the u.s. would not accept or allow dot dot dot nine long minutes passed before here is.

does anyone else in this room have any intelligence coming out of the united states government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the us military. their job or some coffee this list of when trump pushed the pentagon right under the bus is nowhere near complete so with the space force initiative the us military is well apparently struggling to get its hands back on the steering wheel he says i but he walked into the advice from the likes of of madison and pompei o. who are all considered a war cabinet but he makes the ultimate decisions when it's time for a decision when it comes to throwing out ideas that doesn't necessarily mean he's consulted with anybody he came up with the idea before consulting with anybody he made it known publicly and then once he began to get briefed on the issue i think

he's beginning to understand the space force per se may not be the way to go although i don't think he's ruled it out entirely. a british man who worked as an inspector as an american military base in germany is suing the u.s. army and david patterson and his colleagues were unknowingly exposed to a high concentration of the toxic substances kept me with the u.s. army sending a warning letter only a year after the job was done back in twenty seventeen he was overseeing the cleaning of contaminated army equipment. a couple of minutes from head to white. but like very fine very able and not flaws show we actually started cleaning these boxes. any treaty information. any any knowledge of the danger or actually doing those boxes what.

warning center a year later the u.s. army said that skin and eye contact should be avoided while inhalation of the substance was also dangerous and not wearing special protective gear while standing near the contaminated boxes was also not recommended now are one of the risks was that the cademy and covering the equipment could become airborne and then of course be breathed in the cabin is a highly toxic substance that can cause cancer it affects the central nervous system and can cause kidney failure acute inhalation can even cause death receiving the warning letter david patterson contacted the u.s. army. the a reaction was one of the they are treating it as though it was a host just not cast in the customer janet dangerous dust the day before the inspector arrived from the german authorities they ripped out every case of the

fifty cases then what they did they actually got all these fifty cases and in the pittman one area or been to the sun the winds the rain and it was only three metres from a drainage system unions in germany have reportedly already raised the alarm over the working conditions at the us military base urging their authorities to take action. in june some equipment was cleaned incorrectly this was done by eight employees in one department we get the boxes civilians we work in the boxes we clean the quitman we get the believe that we are responsible for everything why the box is not locked dangerous why they're not locked up as do not touch special training required i've been there know or was there working for the same company sixteen months until i almost and asked until i demanded not be a blood test until i demanded that we have some type of action on these boxes i was sacked from m n e global resources and i am taking them to court for

a legal sakhi then we sell stock about your s. eagle and the army you have to request a comment from the u.s. army and other firms involved in the contract. are still to come on the program here on our t.v. a man with down syndrome who is carrying a toy gun is shot dead by swedish police will give you the details in just a moment. you know world of big partisan movies lot of things 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 bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the

middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. with lawmakers manufactured incentives to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. nor middle of the room sick. i mean real news. it is good to have you with us today action movie star steven segal has been

appointed the russian foreign ministry's special representative on humanitarian ties between moscow and washington the move was met with criticism in the western media but here is mr seagal playing a concert in some vast more crimea in two thousand and fourteen just months after the peninsula was annexed by russia maybe he's controlling the case should be extreme you find that the deal is steven seagal so much to the russian seized on all quarter takes a closer look at their reaction to steven seagal is near zero. you know steven seagal from the action packed films he both played in and directed but he'll soon have a very different role to play the russian foreign ministry has named him special representative on the u.s. russia humanitarian ties for ways had a very strong desire to do all i can to help improve russian american relations i have worked tirelessly in this direction for many years on officially and i am now very grateful for the opportunity to do the same thing officially to go over sieved

russian citizenship back in two thousand and sixteen when vladimir putin himself sets a goal up with a russian passport since then he's participated in everything from charity concerts to martial arts competitions in order to bring the u.s. and russia closer together and with relations between both countries at an all time low one might think anything to help the situation should be a breath of fresh air but that sentiment hasn't made much headway in the mainstream media and the hysteria hasn't stopped there the former u.s. ambassador to russia even took to twitter slamming signals appointment as an apparently desperate move strange though a celebrity from the west saying something positive about russia the whole story seems awfully familiar.

western stars are committing what has already become an unforgettable sin associating with russia but despite all the criticism it's put them under many people are questioning why it should negatively impact one's profession donald corder r.t. . three swedish police officers are reportedly under investigation after a shooting dead a man who was carrying a toy gun in stock eric tarell was taken to hospital but shortly after died from his injuries the twenty year old eric terrelle suffered from down syndrome and autism according to his parents he had the mental capacity of a three year old and had strong difficulties speaking out the three policemen

arrived after an urgent cold reportedly from the neighbors who sold to rail with a toy gun and mistook it for a real one it won't hurt him to discard the police that is what they believe to be a dangerous weapon and often fail to comply officers judge the situation as threatening and started to shoot at the mother of the victim has been left in shock calling us on the world's most loving person if you can get over on them shoot three or to yes i waved good bye to him as he was driven off an event especially dappy for people with disabilities which he uses a few hours later someone was knocking on the front door into police officers appeared. to be told me he'd been shot dead by three police officers out on the street that i was totally devastated i couldn't comprehend that he wasn't you i still cannot believe it is true kent is that he was twenty years old and die because three police officers be dually shot him right in the stomach all three of them. and i mean well in order to prevent such fatal mistakes the swedish toy and

baby association issued a statement. we make a simple recommendation to the industry remove all toy weapons that are easy to confuse with real weapons in light of the latest tragic event it seems that some type products are so easy to confuse with the real thing that even the police can't tell the difference with devastating consequences we spoke to youth activist ken hines who believes that a such a tragic tragedy could have been avoided if the police had been trained slightly differently if we want to do something we've got to look at the type of training these police officers undertake i wasn't there i don't know the full circumstances but what i do know our young man has lost his life the likely outcome the police will be five that it was justified their in their actions i don't think that they will farai that anything regarding their procedure was wrong what they have to look

on is their policy i round vulnerable people with a man or women lessers can be learned and must be some such tragedy so that we can avoid of a similar types of tries to happen in. the museum dedicated to news is making headlines itself after selling fake news t. shirts or souvenirs but it's now removed the merchandise after a backlash. you are saying it is a fake it is fake news. i will not be visiting museum ever again i won't be recommending it to visitors and i will not be taking my family and friends there ever again your fake news do you

sure sound fine and they make a mockery of the reporting. the first names you haven't scrapped on your lawless. bookie should remember commenting to my friend how inappropriate i thought it was to sell this anti press material and it was even that celebrates our industry. the newseum has removed you are very fake news t. shirts from the gift shop and online we made a mistake and we apologize a free press is an essential part of our democracy and journalists are not the enemy of the people. it's iraq onic it's sad the media talk about freedom of the press they trash donald trump they say freedom of the press is what this country is built on it's what the microstates built on and now they don't like these t. shirts and they register their disapproval and they pressure this news siham into polling it and ate

a fact what they're doing is they're traveling on the very freedom of speech that they claim to champion if what's going on in this country is any indication you're allowed all the freedom of speech you want if you're on the laptop but if you're on the right it seems like freedom of speech when it comes to the right is getting trampled upon on in one way or another and that just about wraps up the program for this hour we're talking international but hope you join us in about twenty five minutes time we are back with more. join me every thursday on the alex salmond chill and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is on offense very dramatic developments only really engage resists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. first. of all those doubts. george bush knows don't google so diageo don't list first thanks. how much. the student. the first receipt really will you. vote for around eight hundred eighty to

leave it to most digital. groups or some of the sheen you know well. was the. new. good the wheels really it's a real. move but they were. fortunate in that one of the losing us tomorrow. morning will strive.

god afshan are tense and we're going underground seventy three years to the day the united states used weapons of mass destruction against the japanese city of hiroshima to kill tens of thousands mostly civilians coming on the show as fox and disney report results this week is it murdoch disney or donald trump we speak to braveheart and bourne films actor brian cox about exploitation and predatory capitalism in the new series succession and is britain's independent office for police conduct independent we talked collusion with former a metropolitan police chief inspector want charles his great nephew died accidentally after contact with u.k. police all the civil coming up in today's going underground but first what's the beef between u.s. president donald trump and multi-billionaire politics influence a charles koch when people act in protectionist ways they wreck barriers which makes everyone worse off. the urge to protect ourselves from change

has doomed many countries throughout history and this protectionist mindset has destroyed countless business as well charles koch there the powerful koch family before being characterized as a joke why donald trump but the koch family with the ninety odd billion dollars isn't the richest in the world com costs the n.b.c. network even made a video guide to this family saudi arabia's brail family has a big family tree for now just focus on. the making of the current king solomon and proud prince mohamed and some britain of course is selling them weapons to yemen right now but the u.k. has also been subject to the whims of a family that owns one of the big four supermarkets. it was near the town of kingfisher the thomas walton a struggling young farmer and his wife nancy lee started their family and it was here that their son samuel more walton was born the founder of warm up there which has just been awarded the us peyton to eavesdrop on shoppers and employees in

stores but while it's been about just released their richest families top ten including chanel's where time a do ma ma. and al brecht's al the it's a media conglomerate families and citizen kane that usually gonna most attention and play fifty three thousand people around the world we are proud and great to go and. distinguish murdoch has come to the mind of a fair few journalists reviewing a new h.b.o. series about rich families currently screening around the world on t.v. and on demand it's called succession it's executive produced and directed by adam mcconaughey who won the oscar for the big shorts it was created by the writer of veep in the thick of it show and in the loop everything i've done in my life i've done for my children i know i made mistakes but i've always tried to do the best by because i love. brian cox then known for his role in the king of family drama as

king lear known for churchill the bourne films x.-men two braveheart and rise of the planet of the apes to name a few brian is an emmy and empire icon winner and nominee for golden globe after and screen actors guild awards he joins me now brian welcome back to going underground so who you're playing dog sumner redstone walt disney what it succession about none of the above you know i'm playing someone who's self-made it's kind of curious in a way because i really want to play scottish be interesting to play discounts cover slogan wrong and so i was very good scholars and. it's going to be american says he armstrong who worked on veep yeah well he said that it's his baby or. the loop fantastic great wonderful wonderful wonderful writer group of writers the writers room is fantastic so anyway he he he said no no i think it's got to be american adam mckay who is the who directed the big short who's sort of gave it the series

its style he said was i'm not sure that it's got us maybe and then they came up with this idea that he was canadian which is fine so i was canadian and i was born in quebec and then just after i done the ninth episode the ninth episode of mine peter freedman who plays my number two i keep firing throughout the series he suddenly said you know friday i had to do the sign. means in the additional dialogue required when you dump something you said yeah they've changed your birthplace. i said yeah i said release it yet again it's not on the quebec i said so where is it he said it on i can't hang on a minute so he got his device only what i hear is the m e-mail he said oh damn the scotland which is where i come from. we have a conrad black problem. because media moguls have been the talk of

all the press interviewing this but you in variety say something about the fact there's nothing wrong even citizen kane like it's king lear that inspired its problem more cleanly and i think there are elements of citizen kane because of the background which is not revealed about his background so this is the sort of mystery and dissension in mysterious logan but i think king lear is the obvious because. the difference is of course king lear and he spends most of the but he spends the play haven't given his empire away whereas logan roy is in the process of taking his empire back having felt that his children home somehow not stepped up to the mark on but the stance of the story it's a kind of morality tale in many ways it doesn't fit any particular genre so therefore it's original because it doesn't as soon as you think it's one thing it moves to being something else but with the children it is this per any real problem of children of inherited wealth and their sense of entitlement which comes from

nowhere now it's not their fault it's just the way they've been you know they've been. sort of conditions since childhood and that's the problem with these kids and the old man feels a soft and he's right he's not wrong he's absolutely right so in a sense they go through this rebaptised fire in order to find themselves again logan is a really interesting character because we always talk about the games it's the game and they never get the game which is what the business. as far as he's concerned the business is this elaborate game that he protects and loves and enjoys and he loves it in all its element and and particularly in its savagery and he likes it when it's more savage but the kids don't quite get that they go they are savage they're difficult they are savage their vile but they're not they're more vile than savage. because i mean they this is this class war yeah going on and

well yeah there's a different war but it's also to do with the current climate you know we we live in really barren political times when there's no there's no moral leadership whatsoever so everything's up for grabs and i think that's what the show captures brilliantly that the lack of moral imperative and how people are all juggling for squalid position i think the president of united states would beg to differ there i mean the field column the fetus real moral clarity there and if it was the trumps because trump run a rather big conglomerate this is a media conglomerate with and he's not as intelligent as trump is not nearly as intelligent as number one is if you have a favorite daughter they're in this yeah i have a favorite your anchor is that she's intelligent cordelia she's intelligent yes is delia but she's the person that's most like him because she's questions everything a political question then it's all about battling with different conglomerates social media firms that kind of stuff there's no element the democratically elected

power could impinge on these people well yes but it's also it's also who's in the pay of who you know who you know everybody depends on everybody else. and i think it's shown that you know the administration's question. you know last group you know not just trump i mean trumps kind of some obvious but there's also questionable things that happened before to get the u.s. ambassador and i'm going to you can't do that you know so we get we you know there's a lot of that and a lot of you know you could say clearly that. a bomb his hands were tied for far too long or he allowed his hands to be tied to long you can actually stand up and what he should have done right at the beginning because he lost a lot of time and i think that's what happens i think the hedging their bets all the time and and of course somebody like logan or. and all murdoch and that's

probably what they have in common they understand that they understand when they hedging their bets so they can they can plow right through that and he fears amongst the cust the view is might be expected just to be disgusted that their media is undoubtedly because of people you know because it's highly entertaining it is out of thing is funny it's highly entertaining and that's what keeps it going and that's also you can't believe you know this that this is a character i think it's in the head of goblet when she shoots herself the judge brack says but people don't do such things and that's what you can't believe you cannot believe the profanity that goes on you can't believe the double dealing that goes on but it's it's the world it's what it's about you know we see it all the time and especially now and we get so obviously on this all the time there's anything marxist about that all this class conflict there's also a race that's another elevates in that race and also logan has turns out he has a little bit of exam agenda with these on background which we isn't totally

revealed toll in the first season of local and second but he's he you know he looks at the house where the wedding is for instance and this is built on slavery is built on loans built on this these values of you know what and also not honoring and thought he talks about not on doing immigrants he said you know they were the. you know use them as servants and use them to do the mopping up with it and i see all of them and it's an logan's right you know you do see that but then also he's also. venal as well because we know that meritocracy is something that say rupert murdoch does support he doesn't like the royal family right i mean over here i don't know what parallels you see here in britain because it's the brics it is who say the establishment they control the media who and the shadowy elites they're stopping the will of the people who voted for bricks and you know with the brakes it is just playing on the idea of little england they just of whom it's so futile

so obviously futile it's about. you know keeping that well in place you know jane we smog michael gove johnson even david davis it was a sort of working class story but it's it's those values in which a person in a horror to me is kind of inverted and yakked yeah all of that how is that i mean you signed first scotland for europe and the campaign what is your view now as i mean big city has a saying it's project fear people are actually talking about food supplies needing to be stalked and so on and it's stockpiled it's hysteria you know and it's trying to frighten you know they did it before they did it in the you know about them but about the pound and they'll always do it it's well these are the breaks it is saying. that the remain as are threatening all of this i don't think so. and do you think that is deafening to happen rex and i i think i think we'll

probably come to some norwegian position i think that's what's going to happen. i think that's where we will go will have i i don't know about the customs union but i feel that it's too complicated and there realizes that and she's put nobody had thought it through i mean and that's that's that's the thing annoys me more than any given the logans of this world because there are all agog oh yeah whatever they would explore it it's all they would exploit it what side of they are there not on anybody's side they're exploited for stupidity you know that's what they do they they look at it in terms of it's stupidity and that's what that's how logan roy runs his empire because he looks through something is as stupid i haven't seen the end of it so i don't know whether there are any forces there to break up the power of families like this well i think there are and i think that's what we see we see all the threats and in sweep that.
