i think what he's doing is wrong for the direction the city is not how i wanted the election to turn out and so we've declared chicago's going to try to be a trump free zone we have to make sure that prison from work and that is that not everyone believes that chicago is the freezone these series about helping the people in chicago especially on the west side of chicago. the outburst of deadly gang fighting took place right after an violent protest on thursday people are claiming the bloodshed as a consequence of corrupt authorities in chicago we spoke to gregory livingston who organized the protest much kabul was intentionally segregated segregated in terms of geography. segregated in terms of educational assets health care assets capital investment clones it's been second gated for quite a long time matter of fact we martin king said all throughout the south he had large chicago was the most segregated city he had ever been in and we're still

facing the the the product of this legacy because when you segregate the city you insulate one part of the city it's such a way in comfort and you ostracize the other in a lack of a lack of assets poverty challenge of disadvantage which generate a certain level of violence. u.s. sanctions against iran which have just come into force have seen a spike in oil prices and analysts predicting the upward trend will persist and with the u.s. preparing to impose yet more sanctions the e.u. iran's second largest trading partner has shown it is ready to protect european companies doing business with terror on. we are determined to protect european economic operators in gauged in legitimate business with iran this is why the european union's updated blocking statute enters into force on the seventh of august to protect e.u.

companies doing legitimate business with iran from deen pact of u.s. extraterritorial sanctions the first round of sanctions prohibits iran from using american currency and puts restrictions on the trading of precious metals it also includes limiting iranian currency flows as well as constraints on the car trade somewhere a car now assessing the kind of impact u.s. sanctions have had in the past. the trump administration has imposed so we think sanctions on iran with the goal of curtailing so-called iranian aggression and blocking all paths to iranian nuclear radiation now the outcome of such a move is hard to predict but from what we've seen so far unilateral u.s. sanctions are rarely successful but that certainly wasn't for lack of trying the department of treasury is sanctioning turkey's minister of justice of the united states has issued sanctions on key russian oligarchs we will enforce the ban on tourists of the united states will stand idly by as venezuela

crumbles we will enforce the embargo the question is are sanctions affected. the u.s. announced it would be sanctioning turkish officials over on crowe's detainment of an american pastor turkey didn't respond so highly you know some of those shown patience but the step america has taken does not with its a step taken towards a strategic partner in america has shown serious disrespect towards turkey as you can guess the pastor is yet to be released. the u.s. has imposed round after round of sanctions against moscow but have any demands been met now even from russia hardliners have admitted that previous sanctions against moscow have been ineffective the current sanctions regime has for you to deter russia from meddling in the upcoming two thousand and eighteen midterm elections and the republican senators are groundbreaking solution more sanctions but years have gone by and crimea is still part of russia russia still in theory and russia

is apparently still trying to influence elections at least according to some american politicians and media with. cuba has been under u.s. sanctions in the early sixty's and have and it's still under u.s. sanctions but those restrictions haven't been successful in a capitalist overthrow the cuban government was still very much a communist state the. unilateral sanctions don't work we've seen that in cuba for many many years where the us tried to unilaterally crush the economy of cuba didn't work it didn't work in iran under both republican and democratic administrations previously it's a stepping stone towards possible military actions what they do is to some extent they have been there. to some extent their political organizing by imposing the sanctions first it's a step that were in their view would help legitimize it or sitting in washington

you think that the u.s. is all powerful militarily and can win any war that it wants. to kick him to the negotiating table but those things simply weren't unilateral but multilevel things are backed by the u.n. security council we've brought new accountability to the north korean regime when north korea continued its illegal missile test we brought all the nations of the security council together including china and russia to impose new sanctions but some would argue the sanctions lead to pretty disappointing results are quite past the hour here in the russian capital still to come on this program german authorities are taking measures against the rising islamist radicalization of youngsters bringing the full story in just a. chose

seemed wrong all but old roles just don't call. me old yet to say proud disdain because to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground the. good politicians do something good. to put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something or want to be rich. have to be right to be close with what before three of them or can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters and back out. there should.

in truth a program here on r.t. a going on hunger strike to stop his father being tortured that's what the son of a jailed bahraini opposition figure says he's doing outside bahrain's london embassy and we spoke to him about why he's resorted to this particular course of action. my father is seventy years or serving life in prison in bahrain it was they thought

showing the military they are doing the denial of for medical treatment for me because these acts is the book even what it. is by my father the court for robbing the dictator of regime in my country i'm talking are above the basic rights which is medical treatment to man is seventy it is all. i'm calling for family visitation because he did i mean see my family for me to come here in a few months what is the reason for denying medical people for seventy years one man it is not nor absolutely there is no support reason.

he continues to receive medical attention along with he's prescribed medications and a special diet that's part of his medical regime. looked up to a new piece. of human rights organization about my father situation because nothing changed in my father is dying disability. i take place to raise my father is. thousands of displaced syrians returning home as government forces drive out the last pockets of militant resistance in the country according to the syrian state media a special refugee committee is being set up to coordinate the process of resettlement and to help millions of citizens try to rebuild their lives but some media outlets see the situation a bit differently as artie's explains. a brutal despot a mass murderer a children gassing animal the nicknames the international media tag the syrian

president bashar assad with self-explanatory as to why seven million syrians had fled the country since two thousand and eleven pundits prophesies the dictatorship must come down before anyone would dare to go home when we asked them about president bashar al assad they said they don't want him dead because that would be too easy is the syrian government in fact more than isis that has ruined their lives and led to so much of the refugee crisis they escape with their children and if you possessions but as they cross the border to safety many also bring their hatred of the man they blame for leaving them homeless come twenty team the syrian army is one by one retaking new areas from opposing factions and he assad forces once in charge of the larger part of syria are reduced to two small pockets of land and what's that tide of refugees is coming home. to

go back we want to return to our beloved syria i want my daughter to have a future she doesn't. have then i want to go back to syria return to our home alicia said as for why i am going back there is no place like home we were not happy here thank god safety and security of back in syria and separate downy now we are hopefully returning home it's not a case of a few mad men who are for some twisted reason seeking to return under the regime of a tyrant according to the russian defense ministry out of those seven million that escape the conflict more than one and a half are seeking to come back to syria now there's more on the path has already been paved for them the u.n. recorded more than seven hundred thousand syria. as who returned last year and began rebuilding their lives. in the shop here thank god electricity is back

and life went back to normal again and i want to fix my hands and live here and sleep with peace of mind of course there are millions who are still too afraid to go back for many it is indeed the dread of a sad event stopping them but those who did and are returning may very well inspire hundreds of thousands more to go back to their roots. germany's homeland security office is raising the alarm over the rise of islamic radicalism among young people in the country this has prompted some politicians to call for the minimum age when someone can be surveilled to be lowered the current limit is fourteen years old this is not about criminalizing people under the age of fourteen but about warding off significant threats to our country like islamic terrorism which also targets children the inhibition threshold for violence is lower in these children. your thirty's therefore need the tools to take care of

traumatised and violent return these under the age of fourteen according to the german homeland security officers report there are currently around three hundred children who have been quote educated since birth with an extremist world view a document also says that these children come both from families that have gone to war zones and those that have not the german interior minister says that families that traveled to conflict areas need to be prioritized when it comes to surveillance and sleeping can we have knowledge of more than one thousand is the missed german nationals or from germany who've traveled in the direction of syria and iraq to become part of the islamic groups about a third of these people returned to germany is mainly about extremely meticulously evaluating the danger that lies within these people was the main opposition party here in germany the n t immigrant alternative for germany putting miners under surveillance could prove a useful measure their counterparts from the left parties say that your thorough he

should concentrate on adult extremists first victims care whether they're being attacked by a thirteen year old with a knife or whether it's a bearded islamist stabbing them it is necessary to go with an iron broom and transport all fanatics where they belong the real issue is not that sure no one is scared of some nine year old children are not legally liable for their actions under the age of forty one of them going to do they actually read you should step before listing all the efforts on the real terrorists that we have and as long as we have terrorists running around was released every true day people of course there is a threat of children being recruited i think what the domestic intelligence service is trying to distract from their complete and absolute failure to deal with the real islamic terrorists and the us.

in the states. doubled in size just over the weekend the lives of at least seven people in the government to declare a major disaster. areas of forest have been destroyed along with dozens of homes and with local services overloaded. also some scenes could be seen in europe as well. portugal local officials say over one hundred. which was caused by. medical assistance according to authorities. forty four degrees. stay with us here at.

believe. superman does superman's a superhero is also a journalist clark kent is a journalist they're both fighting for the american way i think about that they say

. china think about it and it's confusing to me but you know what we're going to do a little bit of a summer solution sort of episode here to match the one we did last week at the same time whereby we talked about the united states of inequality and how that is impacting not only global trade but the u.s. political system and therefore the global geo political system we were discussing that perhaps this is a seismic shift in geo political power many people talk about china as being the next rising superpower they certainly have on a person saying power parity and economy bigger than the united states but whether or not china will be the new next superpower and one of the things you and i have been covering for the last few months is that one belt one road policy whereby they're spending billions of dollars trillions of dollars in fact to build roads ports bridges railroad to basically do

a new silk road whereby they can trade easier with right now untapped parts of the world so china overloading poor nations with debt top u.s. official says china saddling poor nations with unsustainable debt through large scale infrastructure projects that are not economically viable ahead of the u.s. overseas private investment corporation oh pick said monday. are we supposed to be overloading countries with four countries at the source or the mimicking the u.s. policy of the empire of debt or is are they making a book like they want to take over for the u.s. they want to compete with the u.s. they have artificial intelligence driving a policy does the ai boss driving china policy in the polar bear of china tell them that there should be a lot of these poor countries with what we're going to get into the ai story in a few headlines from now but i do want to stick on this story in terms of the debt

of course yes. states did get very wealthy at the banks to get wealthy by loading up poor nations with debt and then having the i.m.f. i.m.f. come in take those private debts and make them national decimate socialize those debts and impose austerity on various countries around the world the us also got wealthy even earlier than that by being yankees i started to as the dutch called them they were stealing all their copyright ideas they were stealing their intellectual property and things like that hundreds of years ago and china is doing the same now and we complain so here yes it is a bit ironic for the us well this is a u.s. official with opaque us overseas private investment corporation so he's complaining publicly and getting reuters and likes that to publish this but them look what happens well the criticism of beijing targeted by president trump in a trade war has sent ripples through economies around the world comes as washington seeks to ramp up development finance in the face of china's global ambitions these

lawmakers in the united states now are introducing advancing a new law called the bill act beat i b u i l.d. through congress that washburn this guy the head of this oh pick the private investment corporation says should bolster private u.s. investment in developing nations by doubling opec's access to u.s. treasury credit to sixty billion dollars but i when i was a way. look china have the policy for decades now to go into countries and build stuff bridges tunnels schools and to get a piece of that action the u.s. policy for decades has been the going to countries and bomb stuff bomb schools bomber oh was bomb people terrorize people and still stuff so now you're saying that the u.s. is going to change gears here they're going to be like way maybe we should stop

bombing stuff and start building stuff now. that's not a tough thing to bomb our sort of policy of bombing and having the unique you know money has forced china to have to do trade deals and. basically offer many carrots to people around the world but here this trade representative this guy who wants some free basically taxpayer money from the united states sixty billion dollars worth to go compete with china what is he if peacenik is a hippy now. i'm going to boom by yon joint and we're supposed to be bombing where america will you know so they can't bomb these countries this is china china has one point three billion people and a massive military the biggest military in the world. and road is going through places like russia we can't bomb them either we can bomb we can bomb libya we could bomb iraq is places that are deserts in the middle now where and those are the places that we go into we can't even bomb the likes of vietnam anymore because

we've learned our lesson so here they're basically he's saying well that's really unfair went to china is doing they're loading up these countries with debt like in sri lanka sri lanka they had a porch or a bridge or something built from china and they couldn't pay the debt so now china owns that port so this is what they're doing this is what the united states did before but this this guy is going to the u.s. people saying how dare look at this horrible situation over there give us some money and we'll go and compete who will well offer our own unfair you know. precedent in the u.s. history of course in the one nine hundred eighty s. citibank i believe under walter wriston loaded up argentina yes with a lot of debt and then they did something that nobody had done before they defaulted their sovereign debt default and then the u.s. came in and they started running argentina and they started running it into the ground in a very still suffering today so china well they avoid this outcome are they once they start loaning these folks all this money and there is

a problem is paying all this. stuff back are they going to then do america citibank argentina or they how are they can they figure that bit out yet or are they just going to blindly go to make the same mistakes that american spirit well they've already worked through the w t o to get things to their advantage against the united states or other trading partners and i'm sure they'll use the you know these are contracts they're written under international law and abide by international law they're giving them money these countries need course they need railroads but private investment hasn't been there nor has. a whether they're given the money that's our money they've got trillions of dollars of do x. dollars they took whereas they sold junk to wal-mart in exchange for our jobs now they're going to give it to other people our money and to compete with us that's not fair stacey well it's interesting is that they decide they they could they're clearly not confrontational as you mentioned they don't bomb and they don't invade

in order to execute these trade deals but they are targeting areas that the u.s. does not have already advanced relationships with they're not doing this in places like mexico they're targeting places that the u.s. doesn't enter u.s. corporations and particular don't enter like africa and we're going to talk about african the second half so they're looking at places that the u.s. is not already powerful and like mexico like canada you can't really compete with those united states there. you know so they're they're they're building and they're executing their trade deals in places that like for a long africa these are not places that u.s. corporations are very active in but this is a way for them to continue to build their technology their innovation their you know first mover advantage of course the extractive industries like mining minerals energy or a what drove the debt and financial revolutions of the past few decades but we're entering now into

a purely digital economy so these. areas that you mention there like sri lanka it is nothing to extract from the. core of the earth and run away with but they do have brains they have people and they are connected to a global network and they will be part of chinese. incursion into global fin tech and things like that so there's a lot of folks out there that are not part of the you know the unbanked for example if china were to say hey you know what there's like three billion people that citibank doesn't control we want to have them on and financial you know jack miles company or some chinese company gave gives us incredible operating leverage in the twenty first century so you know we've overlooked we're obviously overlooking the trillions of billions of people in the in the global economy that china's three years is going to be a huge asset if i may say yeah and the nightly news here by the way the cable news you would think it's all russia russia russia while we've been focused on first for

twelve fifteen years and now russia russia russia like so much is happening around the world it's unbelievable that like how rapidly china is taking our place economically and you we can't control that we can't compete economically sun even russia it's russia nine hundred fifty five yeah but we in terms of this story that i'm talking about is we the united states cannot compete economically anymore against china so we focus where we can compete and we have the absolute moral authority to bomb and basically invade and sanction any country on earth nobody else can do that so that's why we that's all we have left after all these years of focusing on some guys in caves somewhere in afghanistan and you know in the meantime if that's the only model we we know we we know how to present any longer so china's been going around saying well i understand you might want to do a trade deal with the u.s. because there might bomb you but you know what we'll give you one hundred fifty

billion dollars no questions asked no strings attached we're just one want to do trade so a lot of people are saying well that sounds actually a lot nicer and a lot easier than possibly being bonds if we don't do this so this is happened in the past fifteen twenty years this is what's happened and now we're trying to. look the mental gymnastics that americans have to go through dealing with the loss in vietnam the vietnam war that america has lost it to so the us are still low in the rambo movies to reinterpret and revise that history to make it look like americans are the winners multiply that times one hundred and you end up with what's happened since nine eleven so nine eleven and every period you're just describing right now the americans are still in shock they're still dealing with the psychological damage of nine eleven they still need enemies they still unjustified they still are having troubles working through it and meanwhile the rest of the world is old leapfrogging and yeah they're still in shock because the mainstream media are ratings driven and they're and the ratings give them higher ad revenue and they

keep you in shock because that's a very powerful tool to get you to buy in to continue this very profitable profitable business model to the top one percent it's clearly if you look from two thousand that's when the real wealth and income gap just tore away from the rest the top one percent just zoomed away from the bottom ninety nine percent they you know it's just like a huge difference but we've been in constant say the state of shock and constantly afraid of individuals one guy one guy in a cave in afghanistan one guy named lattimer putin that we're so we're so willing to give up all our bar you know our our our self-respect our sovereignty or income producing assets anything to just for one guy you know of no mugs roll let's roll let's keep it rolling into the second half i mean we're and there's some very important issues here that need to be covered.
