now when does the space force get its recruiters we will you know if you're going to require legislation a lot of detail play 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 fan 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 what 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 well let's just say the pentagon didn't have
10:31 am
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 the 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 some 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 overall places on

twitter last year he first tweeted that the us would not accept or allow dot dot dot nine long minutes passed before he resumed. 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 . or. this list of when trump pushed the pentagon right under the bus is nowhere near complete so with this space force initiative the u.s. military is well apparently struggling to get its hands back on the steering wheel he says i but he welcomes 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
10:33 am
a decision but 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 rather briefed on. 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 at an american military base in germany is now suing the us army and david paterson and his colleagues were unknowingly exposed to a high concentration of a toxic substance cadmium with the u.s. army sending a warning letter only a year after the job was finished back in twenty seventeen the man was overseeing the cleaning of contaminated equipment. a couple of minutes from head to should i was covered in this white powdery substance but like talking very
10:34 am
fine variable and not laws we actually started cleaning all these boxes. any training information. any any knowledge of the danger or actually doing those boxes whatsoever and it's warning letter sent a year too late the us army said that skin and eye contact should be avoided but also recommended wearing special protective gear while standing near the contaminated boxes now one of the risks was that the cadmium covering the equipment could become airborne and then of course it could be breathed in and i could be as a highly toxic substance that can cause cancer it affects the central nervous system and can even cause kidney failure acute inhalation can cause death on receiving the warning letter david paterson contacted the u.s. army the a reaction was one of the they are treating it as though it was
10:35 am
a just not in a. dangerous dust the day before the inspector arrived from the journalists or it is they ripped out every case of the fifty cases then what they did they actually got all these fifty cases and then the policeman one era opened the sun the wind the rain and it was only three meters from a drainage system meantime unions in germany have reportedly already raised the alarm over the working conditions at the u.s. military base urging orthe origins to take action for the army says the equipment was simply mishandled in june some equipment was cleaned incorrectly this was done by eight employees in one department we get the boxes civilians we work on the boxes we clean the quitman. i'm league at the believe that we are responsible for everything why the box is not locked dangerous i've been there no or was there working for the same company sixteen months until i almost and asked until i
10:36 am
demanded that we have some type of action on these boxes i was sacked from the m. and e. global resources and i am taking them to court for a legal sakhi and gross misconduct then we shall stalk about your s eagle and the army we have requested comment from the us army on the other farms involved in this contract also plenty of stories have a com on your monday program on r.t. international if you can stand by just for a moment we are back in a moment. i've
10:37 am
been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars fine champion each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the old bridge eight point six percent market so thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial. but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one doesn't show you can't afford to miss the one and only.

program here without seeing the action movie star steven said goal has been appointed the russian foreign ministries a special representative on humanitarian ties between moscow and washington the move was certainly back with criticism in the western media and here is mr seagal playing a concert in some vast a full crimea in two thousand and fourteen just months after the peninsula was annexed by russia. may be his controlled decay shouldn't be extreme you find that to be is steven seagal so much to the russian authorities. takes a closer look at the reaction to say balls you wrote 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 is named him special representative on the u.s. russia humanitarian ties i for ways had
10:39 am
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.
10:40 am
western stars are committing what has already become and on forgivable 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 corridor r t. three swedish police officers are reportedly under investigation after a shooting dead a who was carrying a toy gun in stockholm eric to relit was taken to hospital but died shortly after from his injuries the twenty year old 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. now the three policemen
10:41 am
arrived after an urgent cold reportedly from the neighbors who sold so well with a toy gun and thought it was a real one they ordered him the police thought of them i should say to discard what they believed to be a dangerous weapon after he failed to comply officers judge the situation as threatening and started shooting at the mother of the victim has been left in shock calling her son quote the world's most loving person you have in get over on them should three go 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 was a jew i still cannot believe it is true kent is that he was twenty years old and die because three police officers b.
10:42 am
to be shot him right in the stomach all three of them. in a while then ordered to prevent such fatal mistakes the swedish toy and baby association issued a statement will make a simple recommendation to the industry remove all toy weapons that are easy to confuse with the real weapons in light of the latest tragic event it seems that some toy products are so easy to confuse with the real thing that even the police can't tell the difference with devastating consequences earlier we spoke to youth activist ken hynes he says it's just not feasible to ban children from playing with toy guns and that only better police training can prevent further tragedy. i think if you try if you're badly toy guns that look like real guns young people and other unscrupulous people will still be able to make those guns look real simply because young people will always try to
10:43 am
look what they're core cool by doing something that maybe to adult perceived to be dangerous 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 a young man has lost his life the likely outcome the police will be find that it was justified their it in their actions and i don't think that they will farai that anything regarding their procedure was wrong what they have to look on is their policy around vulnerable people whether they're mental women lessers can be learned and must be learned from such tragedy so that we can avoid other similar types atrocity happening. i mean z.m. dedicated to news is making headlines itself after selling fake news t.
10:44 am
shirts and souvenirs though it's now had to remove the merchandise after a backlash. now you are saying it is a fake it is fake. and . 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. to fake these key shots on funny they make a mockery of the reporters whose names you happens quite the new rules and who died for that the commission member 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 the
10:45 am
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 but 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 affect 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 wrapping up the
10:46 am
program for this hour here on our team international thank you for sharing your time with us here we are back soon with more. the be. with. us. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be fuzzy injury or somehow want to risk. that's of like to be prosperous like before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of all. the first six.

no welcome to go on sophie shevardnadze white supremacist movements are back in the headlines in the u.s. and my guest today knows all about it he founded a hate group into one of the biggest skinhead groups and the u.s. before renouncing the movement and now working to counter its message of hate how do you contain the appeal of right wing extreme well i ask our number kelis former skinhead author of my lies hate. the. political
10:49 am
extremism the rise of the us the far right groups grow number removed and by the fiery compay rhetoric of president donald trump vogue is uncompromising reaction from the left with clashes between the two sides becoming ever more violent is radicalism threatening to split america into the message of hate groups be effectively countered or shouldn't just be banned for good. artemy caylus welcome to the show great to have you with us. art of the recent white lies matter rally in tennessee created a lot of hype police were on alert people braced for brawls bloodshed like the one in charlottesville back in august but why power protests were actually outnumbered by counter protesters and bystanders are white supremacists going out of fashion or is it just the calm before the storm. i think any type of words a promise rarely happens in the states the words of promise are going to be
10:50 am
outnumbered they're ready for the actually helps to fuel their victimhood narrative that there is there or face the music stream odds so fight for their peoples whether their old number or not the attention they get is really what they were. well at the same time the number of hate groups have been on the rise in the us for two years with over nine hundred in total acting now in your country that's according to the south unpowered a lawless center another we search suggests hate crimes rose up to twenty percent in two thousand and sixteen why is this happening how to explain the trend. i think because of the current political climate where it's not only acceptable but being put in a policy that immigrants are a threat to the muslim people or. gives the launch to disgruntled white people in the united states to act out on those same sentiments often results in
10:51 am
actual violence and certainly fuels the rising membership of hate groups in the united states well during the rallies and shallots filled back in august white supremacists where eagerly you know talking up their support for trump does he make them feel emboldened is this related yeah absolutely since before the campaign . white supremacy groups in the united states have been huge supporters of trump feel they have an ally in the white house is anti immigrant anti and was a loner and at times is. gay rhetoric is really the same talking points the groups. and the national socialist movement have been using for years so as much as he may say all the wise the policies that he enacts
10:52 am
would should include atrocious things like deporting ten year old girls in the hospital who are there for surgery back to mexico that that's the kind of stuff it's a promise like to see and i think that they really believe they have an ally in the why those so do you think trump has a thing for those kind of groups i mean he refused to specifically shame they white supremacists for the violence in charlottesville where an anti rass protester was killed media that asked trump supporting the far right do you see that way as well . or is it a lot of facts to say that while adjusting for one president drones actions he is very quick to condemn football players for peacefully protesting and he calls them sons of bitches and says they should be fired like within hours of them protesting what was going on season ku klux klan members are marching under sloss that goes in an american city and somebody gets killed it takes him days to respond to that i
10:53 am
think that speaks volumes for how he feels about these situations i don't want to put words in his mall but i'm just going by what he says and does well he doesn't really say much but like his actions the way he didn't say anything or ashamed the white supremacists that day does do you feel like he. he has an inner affiliation with those people like he feels the same way they do. or maybe he counts on their support who knows. i honestly i feel the president trump has some severe psychological issues that have not been dealt with his actions are those of somebody who has a very drastic insecurity complex he seems to just be looking for whatever phrase he can get it he doesn't care where that phrase comes from so i i think he's well aware of the promise of fans of his and i do believe that he
10:54 am
doesn't want to. lose their support and that could be a reason why takes him so long to. do you announce a groups were as he has no problem condoning football players of color who want to make a statement well in all fairness right after shallots feel he didn't sign a resolution condemning hate groups stat espouse racism extremisms in a phobia anti-semitism white supremacy so you feel like he maybe has one thing on a paper and other and he's had it's hard had sorry to say where is that because he's been very erratic. throughout this in the early days of his presidency and he's been all over the play is as his cabinet is completed numerous times about his tweeting the people around him wish they could get more of a handle on him and obviously he refuses to do that so yeah he's all over the place
10:55 am
and i know that he is probably condemned to hate groups and that's fine but when you condemn hate groups and then you enact legislation that deports families just because they're the wrong skin color or they came from mexico i don't think he's really busy deporting people who came from eastern europe or people who came from canada it seems that isn't all of his actions are. people with darker skin so when all of that happened then charles philip traum blamed both the right on the left for clashes he also felt some animosity towards yourself from the left rights are anti side and other similar movements becoming a part of the radicalization problem. that's one issue where i do see president drums point and i have also been. very frank
10:56 am
about my condemnation of the far left and the and the four groups i do believe that they are a part of this problem i think the fact that the united the right rally could come in on a brawl from the and the really help smaller membership i recall in my days as a white supremacist we would drive six hours of the times they go and fight and if so the violent resistance that and the folk presents to nazis does nothing but serve their purpose it also drives people from the political center further right i think charlottesville is instigated by the far right that used to be front and center that needs to be acknowledged but the far left certainly played their part in that melee and unfortunately they will continue to do that so the fire red and white supremacist groups claiming that they are a reaction to movements like black lives matter to the new loud and somewhat radical civil rights groups do they have a point to stand against them. yeah there i think the more radical all
10:57 am
the leftist groups become in the war they emerge themselves in identity politics the easier it is for the far right to recruit there have been leaders of all right who make no bones about the fact that they do identity politics for white people and in our universities in the united states and in europe. basically if you're a white kid you can either confess your privilege and condemn your whiteness and. what you have to do to be an ally to people of color and anyone else who's oppressed or you go off to the all right there's really no middle ground for anyone who existed anymore and i that i believe that that is largely because of the militancy of these for a claim radicals on the left so what they're doing does of the purpose of the far
10:58 am
right and vice versa every time the far right rears their heads the left goes oh see that's why we need to do what we do and we're going to double down on it and it becomes a cycle and they both kind of feed each other while most. people in society who just want to live their lives are kind of caught in the middle you know i also heard that several universities in the us have been offering housing gang creating learning communities for black students only by california state and the university of connecticut favorites claim they. down to two they need to actually create safe environments for students of color what is that supposed to mean is just a comeback of segregation. i am not a fan of that approach i understand the reasoning behind it but. to me it really it takes agency away from black students it's saying that you don't have. the ability to exist in this society and have
10:59 am
a voice in the society and determine your own future so here we're going to create this little safe space for you where you're not going to be subject to the white supremacy and it's done under this guise of compassion but what it really boils down to is separatism and it doesn't serve the students of color that they're working with and it certainly doesn't help to mend any of the wounds in our society that we're definitely still reeling from after five hundred years a white supremacy i truly believe and i've seen this in person many many times over the past eight years as i've been working in peace building efforts is that people have every capability to calm and connect and recognize each other outside of the construct of race outside of other social constructs and have the ability to define their relationships about how these the other people when we retreat and say oh i
11:00 am
can't be safe unless i'm around people who think like me will like me act like me if you're centrally going back to the same mindset that the neo nazis and you're just setting up a different camp and i don't think there's ever a healthy thing for human beings and i don't think it's going to help anybody on these colleges are going to take a short break right now when we're back we'll continue discussing what's behind rights of premises and movements in america with former school hat arianna mcallister stay with us.
