verify the press a source but we provided the scientific information to the government but you have not been able to establish at porton down that this was made in russia as i said it's our job to provide aid you know the scientific evidence that identifies what the particular near future is but it's not our job to see where that actually was manufactured to be clear you're not able at cotton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that neither the. analysis nor the o.p.c. w's report i did to find the country. of origin of the agent used in this attack and now we're left with this highly likely stance from the u.k. and the u.s. is issuing this fresh round of sanctions but we haven't seen any new information come to light here in the sanctions that thought to be imposed on or around august the twenty second in the meantime the u.k. prime minister's office has welcomed the new batch of u.s.

sanctions on russia the russian embassies saying it only wants transparency it still asks can we please to be a part of this investigation by the russian embassy calling it these sanctions describing them as draconian measures the sanctions haven't been imposed yet but the announcement has already hit the russian economy the rubles plummeted to its lowest level for years christine german of business association free markets dot a t. says though that not too much can be read into the fore. i don't think the impact will be so big because up to the present us russia traitor lation are not that big actually. and still have already been damaged by past sanctions so there are overlapping of sanctions actually maybe most most importantly you should also look at their fact on the you because up to now in many cases do you followed

. us in terms of sanctions and obviously they your relations with russia more economic relations with russia are more intense than the u.s. relations because you and the russia have economic alim are complimentary in the terms of the products they deliver the day prior the new sanctions to the new sanctions being announced had the now it also acknowledged that the us has no problem making other countries change their foreign policies well that doesn't seem to apply to every case. we should ask another country to stop attacking other nations and to stop fomenting terror that's one of things that the united states government does how do you square that with the stance of saudi arabia and the u.a.e. in yemen well i do you don't see i'm sorry what do you mean by you're saying that you don't have a problem telling the country how to form paul getty but you're you're sided with

saudi and yet. we have concerns about what the who the rebels have been doing for quite some time that is well documented they have been terrible and conducted many many attacks against their own against the people of yemen saudi arabia certainly has a right to try to and to take out some of those bad actors that's something that's something that they have a right to do and we support that and we are wrapping up. a saudi air strike has killed fifty civilians in yemen most of them children according to local sources over seventy others were reportedly wounded the strike hit a school bus and a marketplace i must warn you may find these images coming up now disturbing according to the latest information on the red cross twenty nine children were killed all of them under the age of fifteen forty eight of the people were injured including thirty schoolchildren the strike hit the north of the country which is under the control of the rebels intervention against them began in twenty fifteen

in an official statement riyadh defended the attack using the rebels of using children as human shields. the targeting today is a legitimate military action conducted in conformity with the international humanitarian law to target the militants responsible for planning and targeting civilians which resulted in killing and injuring them. it's not the first time this month the coalition is hit residential areas a week ago an air raid on a data seaport the main transit point for aid to yemen claimed the lives of fifty five civilians one hundred seventy others were wounded when a terrorist groups of birds the coalition to protect the civilian population as well as medical staff and facilities which have been repeatedly hit by rates. of the red cross in sanaa told us that the situation in yemen is appalling. we have received twenty nine identified these are children up to fourteen years old and

forty forty eight injured among them thirty children but for the overall top this needs to be referred to the ministry of health and this needs to be referred to the ministry of health and population of yemen a humanitarian situation in the country is catastrophic it's a population that has been brought to the brink of collapse the whole system is this image the movement of population is growing because of. conflicts and hostilities going on so we really do think. more hostilities and you know the expansion of those hostilities with it will exacerbate an already humanitarian situation even more we see violations cross the country and it's really. too i mean

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 i mean. this is just horrific. the u.s. plans to create a sixth branch of the armed forces operating in space by twenty twenty that target date was announced by vice president mike pence in his report to the pentagon. just as in the past when we created the or force establishing the space forces and i do you come the space environment is fundamentally changing the ocean rich what was once peaceful and uncontested is now crowded you know the cereal according to a pentagon report the new space force will work in a variety of fields that will provide intelligence as well as engineering and carry

out scientific research it will also develop cyber operations and support combat missions let's bring the guest expect now to route is an adjunct professor in peace war and defense at the university of north carolina good to have you on are these plans actually mark much different to what the u.s. already does in space as i understand the military satellites for example operating for decades. correct and if you ask the people who are engaged in the military space enterprise today whether they think this is a good idea most of them will tell you it's going to be a nightmare bureaucratic nightmare it's a burden on them which will add additional layers of bureaucracy and cause a lot of confusion and hamper their work they don't want this the military doesn't want this general mattis very recently said he didn't want it. we are having

it rolled out by vice president after trump's announcement. with a lot of fanfare and a lot of aggressive statements about dominance in space and some very ominous news about directions that u.s. programs are now taking for example towards space based interceptors for missile defense which are now being openly discussed as addressing the chinese and russian threat. as well as well as counterforce weapons of all descriptions that is the counter space weapon. this means you need a satellite weapons weapons designed to neutralize or destroy satellites of other countries the united states is now openly pursuing. has had shared space

capabilities specifically jammers for for considerable time and apparently has used them in operation but is now pursuing. operational kinetic and directed energy and i satellite weapons. and this is a company by a lot of doctrinal sheriffs and the military has been doing these things and having a lot of discussion and debate about it interestingly the same time your theory from sun senior officials in the military a greater openness towards space arms control there yesterday at ok let's just take a listen at this point to what exactly mike pence has said about the space for today other nations are seeking to disrupt our space based systems and challenge american supremacy in space as never before for many years nations from russia and china to north korea and iran have pursued weapons to jam blind and disable our

never geisha and communication satellites the electronic attacks from the ground but recently i have a series of been working to bring new weapons of war into space itself so mike pence says that america's adversaries are bringing new weapons of war into space to believe there's any truth to that. well there is some but the truth is that it's mainly russia and china have the capability to interfere with american space assets and are developing in ai satellite weapons however they're following the example set by the united states which has developed and tested the same systems are earlier and which has operational anti-satellite capabilities both the space the jammers that i talked about and the missile systems which have

a capability to attack satellites as is demonstrated in two thousand and eight and now with the tuition three block to a missiles coming out these things are actually very serious and i satellite weapons which are being deployed in numbers by the united states navy can be deployed anywhere in the world of russia or china had an anti-satellite weapons arsenal of that extent the united states would be very alarmed indeed. well in fact the russians and the chinese are developing and testing such weapons and showing that they can do it too but as far as i know have not yet deployed large arsenals and continue to be interested in space arms control why is the united states not interested in space arms control is the question i. only ask about nuclear weapons in space which as i understand that's something that's been banned going back to the one nine hundred sixty s. under the outer space treaty do you think that's something that we might see change

. no i don't think nuclear weapons will ever be based in space there isn't a good reason to do that. in fact the basing of weapons in space in general doesn't make sense if you're talking about things that are going to attack targets on the earth the reason is because if you put them out there in space well that means it's hard to maintain them it's very expensive to do that and then of course you have to bring them down which requires another rocket so it just doesn't make sense they're also not available when you need them where you need them it makes more sense to have your rockets on the ground and just launch them were you are from airplanes or whatever so space based weapons has never been a proposition that's made a lot of sense and yet people have already been afraid of it you know where afraid of having these things over our heads that he come down in the midst of that's a scenario that didn't because mine did actually the physics of it doesn't work out

so well look at cliched analysis thanks for joining us here. is my guest a job professor for defense at the university of north carolina thank you if you're . on to other news now facebook may have closer ties to washington than was previously thought is now emerged the social media giant is relying on experts funded by branches of the u.s. government and nato when it comes to tracking falling influence he said if you're trying to explain. how's that for a mark zuckerberg nightmare he or his steam 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've seen how foreign actors are abusing social media platforms those images that can be attributed or associated with the 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 friend's cat if people flag them as potential hoaxes we send those

to fact checkers and if those fuckers say that the law 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 and 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. political compass upon logan says 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 the control of big corporations 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 there's going to be a battle to try and corral the internet back and kind of the mainstream media. form a where you get your news reader for you and you don't have any kind of dissenting viewpoints. and you u.s. poll suggests that the reputation of news organizations is in decline it found more than a quarter of american citizens now think the president should have the power to close media outlets seem to be behaving badly on the scale i'm open to the streets of new york to get opinion on freedom of speech 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 it goes back to

stalin to now 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 she. being is that twenty six percent of americans more than a quarter say they 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 do you do you think a lot of americans agree that the media outlets should be shut down i do i think

they're smart if you're smart and you have a good mindset or 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 freedom of the press led to him appearing in those twenty six percent i mean that you 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 means 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 violence 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 reactions no i don't agree with it now seems that the first amendment is the first thing that many americans want

to be amending they will come up and r.t. new york. with us into the arsenal of dates and offer them. this is. the church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the do graphic solution. what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perpetrator is simply moves him to a different spot were the previous standards not the highest ranks of the catholic

church help conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to that end of themselves and as the i intend. to use these out and. if. i am asked as or this is a cause report that's not out to zero if i were i would throw shoes at the camera i might hit the camera massive damage or the camera man and then a frame. up. see that kind of excite me 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 and we went in declare 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. is a guy remember george w. this is talk america and the 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 the hierarchy of needs but we're going to start with this tweet here from the washington post's 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 it's spent 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 buffet's. never give so i'm like jeff. bezos a seventy 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 just 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 had to do it fast and they're like i was severely you know constipated earlier and i didn't get 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 and 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 you know reminds me of two pac 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 this peculiar homelessness a way of life considered illegal in many places across the west coast just the past year twenty thousand more people join the ranks of these homeless without any sort of shelter and not even know. homo shelter 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 of 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

to the toilet it's right there in the vehicle so you know it's got a layaway plan so you this if you're amazon prime you know he'll ship it to you by drone and you could 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 who the 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 you know 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 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. hierarchy i mean you know it'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're 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 waste obviously our elites are not stupid obviously these journalists and people on cable news shouting know that these hierarchy of needs

and that is the logic that 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 and 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 says. 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 sell factual.
