yemen over forty civilians have reportedly been killed by a saudi led air strike most of them children the strike hit a school bus and the marketplace a word of warning you might find the upcoming picture is disturbing according to the latest information from the red cross twenty nine children were killed all under the age of fifteen forty eight more were injured two including thirty children the strike hit the north of the country which is under rebel control intervention against them started back in twenty fifteen where the saudi led coalition has issued a statement this saying that the attack was a legitimate military operation in accordance with international humanitarian law riyadh also accuses heathy rebels of using children as human shields saudi arabia is being assisted by the united arab emirates in its incursion the first time this month the coalition has hit residential areas a week ago an air raid and who died a seaport the main transit point for aid to yemen. claimed the lives of fifty five

civilians one hundred seventy wounded humanitarian groups of the coalition to protect the civilian population as well as medical staff and facilities which have been hit by rates above the red cross told us earlier today the situation in yemen is appalling. we have received twenty nine identified these are children up to fourteen years old and forty to forty eight injured among them thirty children but for the overall top. this needs to be referred to the ministry of health and population of yemen humanitarian situation in the country is catastrophic it's a book relation that has been brought to the brink of collapse the health system is decimated the movement of population is growing because of. conflicts and hostilities going on so really do think.

more hostilities and you know the expansion of those hostilities with will exacerbate an already humanitarian situation even more receive violations cross the country. to. issue or speak about civilian casualties in a matter of less than a week so for us this is painful and whenever we see civilian casualties we are i mean. this is just horrific. facebook may have closer ties to washington than previously thought it's now emerged that the social media giant is relying on experts funded by branches of the u.s. government and also nato when it comes to tack tracking foreign influence with more

on the story is. how's that for a mark zuckerberg nightmare he or his team in front of a horde of suits go and sort these russian bots out sort out the fakes sort them out or did i just paint a good picture of the reality web giants of been facing lately in the past election you. we seen how foreign actors are abusing social media platforms those images that can be attributed or associated with a russian company lack of resources a lack of commitment and a lack of genuine effort the likes of zogby could have proudly said were just the platform where independent and sorting out what you call fakes is none of our business but when wall street alarm bells are ringing you know how it can happen with the stocks it could be better to zip it and focus on an intense year.

see if we stick to be the tough year began with. news feed algorithm the trick was to boost posts with let's say pics of your friends cat and sideline all that politics related media stuff haha they say this lead to less views likes and comments under donald trump's posts move it on facebook has evolved from policing offensive content to policing news views ideas it can be anything apart from your friends if people flag them as potential hoaxes we send those to fact checkers and if those factors that is provably false then we will significantly reduce the distribution of that content why do you want to just say get off our platform will look as a porn to some of this content can be i do think that it gets down to this principle of giving people a voice eventually though the get off our platform way to sort things out still

prevailed ok and now. it's time to meet the fact checkers journalists have found them in a tiny room at these guys' h.q. got it at the end of the day facebook's not so happy with that online policeman's hat so zuck in co are outsourcing the digital share locks i'm being serious that's what they call themselves who are let me check where they come from. linked to nato with their help thirty two suspicious pages have already been sorted out the big ship is not turned around overnight takes a while but i think that the have now given some opportunity to work with them and i hope that in the months when we have at least three other platforms in that we will see. a willingness to collaborate with us to come up with a solution bravo and it's not just facebook for doing just as great one question though since already most americans head to social media to get their news when

will freedom of speech ring a bell and a prank that will political commentator brian levin says that the left is moving to get rid of undesirable views on social media platforms. feels like the only people they have the right to speak out are those who agree with the leftist principles if you are against lefties ideology in any kind of way they find a way to demonize you they call you a conspiracy theories they say it is you're promoting fake news we're coming more under control because parisians and a lot of these people who are in the government and corporations are kind of working together to colluding with each other any kind of extra regulation from the federal government will most certainly impact freedom of speech online it's going to be a battle to try and corral the internet back and kind of the mainstream media. form a where you get you news q.e.d. for you and you don't have any kind of dissenting viewpoints. manju us poll

suggests the reputation of news organizations is in decline if more than a quarter of american citizens think the president should have the palates a close media outlet sting to be behaving badly and he's often took to the streets of new york to get opinions on freedom of speech which the american media just can't get over the anime of the people label first slapped onto it by donald trump a little while back anime of the people i think crosses a line i think it's reckless i respectfully ask that and this is a phrase that has a long historic provenance it goes back to the french revolution and goes back to stalin and mao when the president attacks journalists we question his motivation at this point you could dismiss the comments simply as media oversensitivity or biased against donald trump however whether it's media partisanship or trumps behavior it seems pretty clear that public support for freedom of the press is stark now at

this point less than half of americans say they believe the mainstream media is working hard to engage in honest reporting now what's more shocking is that twenty six percent of americans more than a quarter say the. i believe that the president should have the authority to shut down any media outlet that isn't gauging in what they call bad behavior now it's not surprising that most of these lidia's haters are republicans and it's no secret what outlets they want shut down. do you think that's surprising to you do you think a lot of americans agree that the media outlets should be shut down i do i think those smart if you're smart and you have a good mindset where you see different things then you would know things like that obviously should be shut down especially if they're not telling the whole story that's a joke that's a joke once again the school back to page one of the press led to him appearing in

those twenty six percent may not know the constitution i'll be brought me i don't think the pressure be closed down but doesn't mean we have to read it or pay attention to it i just block it out. i don't really know their definition of bad behavior i mean if there is a clear definition of bad behavior i know maybe i'd agree with that statement more of course if they're imposing by always or inciting some kind of peaceful motion that i don't agree with them and then maybe they should be looked at more in depth but in terms of shutting them down often you jerk reaction i don't agree with it now seems that the first amendment is the first thing that many americans want to be amending. r.t. new york. spike you had a scene syria has been turned into a more human dedicated to those who helped defeat the terrorists like losses of sculptures on the wall of the former hi dad.

moving on to. the international back with more stories just after the break. if it's. if it's. it's only natural that baby boomers were vote for policies that help them price boom to stock price things

and disenfranchise the bottom you know age groups but oh well. tough luck buddy get a job kids get a job. you know world of big partisan. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. 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. hello again the people of easter island the demanding the return of

a sacred statue take more than one hundred years ago and by the british navy it was presented as a gift to queen victoria before eventually ending up in the british museum where it's currently on display parties on the sea us visit is that if it should be handed back. hosting an estimated eight million objects the british museum is one of the world's best known collections of art history and culture and often the subject a fiery debate about whether optics source during the british empire is colonial times should be returned to where they came from. the latest dispute ironically involves a statue called vost or stolen friend

a fitting name to the indigenous people of easter island or trying to recover a unique figure taken one hundred fifty years ago and given to queen victoria who then give to get to the museum this is reportedly being negotiated as we speak. the circumstances have changed and we heard that there's a possibility to discuss the stones are trying to chile with the museum and the british government the british museum attracts scores of tourists so it's not surprising the museum is putting up a fight claiming their better preserved under its own watch sometimes offering temporary loans as a compromise but what do the visitors think let's find out generally speaking i would think it should be returned i think it's part of our heritage so it's just our history we've got over this whole kind of colonialist british empire thing and stuff but it's rare and this museum is very well operated and so i think like staying here would be at a fun take so you're leaning

a little bit more towards just letting them stay here. i stand firmly on the fence i mean i can see the benefits of both to be honest i mean if they went away we wouldn't see them here and we would be able to appreciate do you think it's realistic to expect that a place like this would return some of the you know some of the most famous pieces are ones that were kind of brought here under question of oh rosetta stone maybe you can. now in the wake of government plans to change the constitution and strip white farmers of their land some south african politicians are looking for more black emancipation in fact a new party has made headlines after burning whites and foreigners from becoming members a slip as the story. after the death of nelson mandela there has been an increase in racial politics and incitement here in south africa and now as the country starts preparing for elections to be held at the beginning of next year one new party has emerged that's only for black people the massive african congress says

that its goal is to restore the ideals of african people it's gone as far as to say our membership is not open to anything that looks white this is a far cry from how mandela saw the rainbow nation have to look to all is in the cities and so i don't think it's a good concept i don't think it's something that will work here though going backwards obviously by just like that too we shouldn't allow the news out of egypt most parties are fighting for is unity in south africa but not having a party that now takes only black people sort of like promotes racism it's become popular in south africa particularly among the white community to talk about reverse racism in other words discrimination against white people whereas once people of color would deny jobs education and political power the tables have now turned and many whites complain of being overlooked because of black economic empowerment policies ironically many south africans once felt they were not quite enough today there are those who feel they are not black enough police they are

teeth johannesburg thanks being with us today don't forget we got plenty of stories to our website and you can find that at r.t. . first. most of the all over south. georgia shows don't google so document on the first thanks. how much custom have tried to hush. a steady lead to make me tell you. i'm the first person to be a trial run to a full vote that i ate today to tailor made it to last digit does. something shiny but as the sheen you know well i was i thought

i knew which i'm on a slope to. good the deal is a bit surreal. but they were. fortunate in that one of the most of those in the us to me but i. suppose all the times was the most wonderful smile that. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us as over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like color crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you loan to be culled from rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent is what is just some with four hundred to five hundred three percent that first shot him because he rose to twenty thousand

dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. i am asked as here this is the kaiser report not sure if it was i would throw shoes at the camera i might hit the camera massive damage or the camera man and then he fame let's see i. see that kind of excitement you know get everywhere. anyway actually that's an important point coming forward in this about the shoe throwing because of course remember we invaded iraq and soon after that when we

went in declaring victory and everything was all ok some guy in the audience there in front of george w. bush threw a shoe at let's say. there's a guy i remember george w. he was talking there and they guy we're going to. close. well we got insurance that's going to come up in this story because it's a very important point about hierarchy of needs but we're going to start with this tweet here from the washington post jeff stein and he's pointing to a remarkable fact from a piece from the atlantic dot com he being jeff bezos needs to spend roughly twenty eight million dollars a day just to keep from accumulating more wealth the atlantic article he points to is jeff bezos one hundred fifty billion dollars fortune is a policy failure growing inequality in the united states shows that the game is

rigged bezos collects of very small salary and pays only capital gains max and yet amazon also paid zero federal tax last year and need to spend twenty million dollars a day to avoid paying federal taxes just to prevent himself from accumulating more wealth so just on his he's earning twenty more than twenty million dollars a day well i mean he's got. a a monopoly position and he is milking that monopoly quite aggressively but nobody can compete with them you know warren buffett. never give someone like jeff. bezos a seven year head start wal-mart they're now trying to train their overworked low paid associates to make deliveries after. or work on their way home that's their solution to jeff because. they're basically mimicking his model where many have already talked about it we're not going to discuss that today but where his workers

are underpaid and also basically abuse their bathroom breaks if you know they've got a hernia it's on a bathroom break because you have to do it fast and they're like i was severely you know constipated earlier and got a hernia that i found relief though that's what the carnivora diet will do to you jimmy son told me i'm going to see jimmy song i'm going to have a to talk about this i don't feel right but as importantly the atlantic. themselves refer to it as that this is the game is rigged kaiser report of course has said this for the past ten years here and then we get like shunned by the us media who are now saying yeah ok basically kaiser report was right all of this jeff bezos wealth happened under both democrat and republican administrations where this wealth and income gap grow so i want to point to their right where jeff bezos wealth comes

from the whole east coast the pacific west coast. i think i might have said east coast at first but i meant the west coast and it says east coast west coast i'm out reminds me to pack and biggie you know they had a serious war going on and you know two back was murdered so this is a jeff bezos over on the west coast it's the new form of affordable housing more people are living in their cars with rents on the rise cities are grappling with a growing population of quote the hip killer homelessness a way of life considered illegal in many places across the west coast just in the past year twenty thousand more people joined the ranks of these homeless without any sort of shelter and not even in. homo shelters so they're living in their cars or the living on the streets in downtown san francisco los angeles portland or seattle but what i want to point to regarding what you had started off the show by

throwing i remember you are a member of distinctly and i'm out of shoes i only have two feet i can't do it again and the point is why did we invade iraq because i'm going to get into that after this quote this is a quote from sarah rankin a professor at seattle university law and she says what do we do with people whose basic physiological needs are not being met like what i was referring to earlier about constipation exactly when in fact she said goes on to say when we think about people who are living in their vehicles are they able to sleep eat poop and breathe safely we have to start asking what needs to be done so what it will mean to me to ask the question as jeff bezos would do you go to amazon dot com and you can get a vehicular model that has a poop attachment right there in the vehicle oil yeah toilet exactly so precisely went to the toilet it's right there in the vehicle so you know and it's got

a layaway plan so you just if you're amazon prime you know he'll ship it to you by drone and you can be living in your boot will be ill in the next morning hours he'll make another you know billion dollars and life is great in america so you know the let's give credit where credit is due so here's an economy where jeff bezos earned over fifty billion dollars this year alone in the first six months of this year to put that into context jack ma is worth less than what. jeff bezos earned just this year so that's the context of how much this guy is earning a one year in the meantime the entire west coast where he and his resistance or it's like remember jeff bezos owns the washington post where democracy dies in darkness and the resistance is strong and yet where they control much of the economy people are living in cars and you know these sort of professors at seattle

university are concerned about where these people are pooping but the fact that this you meant a physiological needs reminded me of mass knows mass los hierarchy of needs this is the bottom most basic need physiological needs above that is safety of course our government says that's their only concern is our safety and that's why we have a trillion dollar defense budget right and homeland security and t.s.a. who apparently follow americans all over the place but that's another story and then above that is love belonging esteem and self actualization love to yes or no. top. or low muffin. hierarchy i mean you know who's like getting their physiological needs met julian assange over there that's what i don't remember see if he dies journalism dies it julie and we all die a little bit we are all julia in a song. keep that in mind sucker but the point is i want to talk

about is that massless hierarchy of needs and here are thousands and tens of thousands of people americans on the west coast who can't who cannot meet those basic needs now my sources tell me that masses hierarchy of needs that chart there is used by our u.s. intelligence agencies ok member number two is defense and safety right that our own us intelligence agencies use that chart when looking at when to start to topple or coup other governments so if like haiti when when haitians were eating mud pies that's a good time to overthrow their government and installed our own and then let a crisis go to was obviously our elite are not stupid obviously these journalists and people on cable news shouting know that these hierarchy of needs and that is the logic jeff bezos has

a war on people that there's no logical need is being exploited by the corporation in the largest monopoly because he ends up putting these people in these highly stressed positions know what i'm saying is the breakdown that we're witnessing and that you and i have been talking about here in kaiser report for the past year is that what they know they know those if those basic physiological needs are not being met that leaves the entire economy and political system vulnerable and they know that because that's how they look at all their political systems so they know we're vulnerable because of that so that's why they're coming up with all these that's why there's a genuine panic when you look at cable news it is genuine panic and i think this is part of it oh you mean we're all stance hey you know it's. you know safety is number two but that's obviously wrong because number two should be why five you know that is definitely needed and also what is at the top self actualization that's very karl you know. isn't it i mean this is

a lot of psychobabble who wrote this like some academic princeton grad student now that's from decades ago but the point is obviously like once your basic physiological needs are met once you can sleep and eat and poop then you start to think about ok how do i make my house safer how do i make my economy or my community safe and then you then you're concerned about love and you see that across the world like you know the whole fact that we have these trigger warnings and safe rooms here and that's a very high need like that's a an economy in a culture where that everything is already taken care of for a certain sector of people so they have so to most of the world they look crazy because they're still worried about where they're going to put that and i think about philosophy that wasn't almost invented by descartes who simply you know got this entire pyramid chart down to i think therefore i am and that was that people had to go on for hundreds of years you know during the whole history of philosophy

well now act a little fricken pyramid this being exploited by terrorists like jeff bezos is milking the system and buying influential newspapers and bribing politicians and creating it dystopian nightmare people living in their cars so that he can be like he has more money than he would ever mean with it doesn't want to do it all i mean it's like he's horny he's a hoarder there's people who are from books in their apartment and they just they can't live there anymore because there's nothing but phone books this guy is like just around he's hoarding cash is nothing to do with it he's just a hoarder i want to quickly turn to the last headline which i think ties together all of those growing wealth gap between young and old remember jeff bezos newspaper washington post as democracy dies in darkness and one thing you could say about democracy is you know the more vote you have the more you win and the more you gain and we've seen the baby boomers turning sixty five as of what two or three years ago and this growing wealth and income gap is really down to age so they said that elderly.
