quarter revenue was reported forty six point seven billion dollars with thirty three billion in revenue from caremark their c. subsidiary caremark revenue was up two point six eight percent outpacing two point two percent overall growth in c.v.s. revenue. i. am breaking news today we've spoken before about the sinclair broadcast group which made local anchors for some silly script about being independent you may recall it treasure valley communities deal past the las cruces communities eastern iowa communities in communities and we are extremely proud of the quality balanced journalism that c.b.s. four news produces but we are concerned about the military and their son on one side or he's playing a very plaguing our country sharing a biased and false news has become all too common on social media more alarming some media outlets publish the same fake stories without checking facts first the

sharing of biased and. and then sinclair sought to merge her three point nine billion dollars with tribune media although the us federal communications commission chairman had referred the matter to administrative law judge for consideration well now the deal has been called off and the parties are in litigation here look at the details r.t. america's on holland cook goes to the big picture how and you've been following this for months with us we appreciate it what do you think i mean it was a weird story begin with right now it's become even more strange this is a story about hubris a term defined from greek tragedy meaning excessive pride toward or defiance of the gods leading to nemesis and you have covered here on boom bust all three acts in this particular tragedy the first was that mosaic and how naive could sinclair a t.v. company have been not to think somebody would mash up all those promos be trading the fact that these local anchors were really just taken orders from headquarters

act to you alluded to f.c.c. chairman a jeep i who himself is under investigation for paving the way for this merger by deregulating in some cases very arcane f.c.c. rules that seem tailor made for this and pi has embarrassed himself with some snarky videos about net neutrality again overstepped he was getting death threats for a while fairly criticized for the net neutrality thing that they in his family have been under federal protection so he's dialing it back and kicked it to that administrative law judge to duck and act three in the hubris was sinclair had to spin off some stations it was one hundred seventy of theirs plus forty two from tribune so they couldn't keep them all and you're supposed to sell these stations at market value to entities which are at arm's length one example w g n t

v chicago. ship station there iconic. station channel line chicago they proposed it to sell it to one stephen fader for sixty million dollars not a typo radio stations in chicago sell for sixty million dollars and guess who stephen fater and sinclair chairman david smith both sit on the board of a car dealership so that just didn't pass the smell test and now the tribune is suing sinclair for a billion dollars one quarter of what the deal is worth because their stock price is going to take a whack it's crazy we've got about thirty seconds left holland but you know that this new energy was going to be about get to about seventy percent of the households across the country with a pretty much conservative viewers. broadcast rather competing with fox will somebody pick up this mantle and try to compete with fox what do you think whether or not they try to become the new fox righty channel tribune is likely going to be

in play we're hearing of various other t.v. groups who would like to have a look at that prepared portfolio and i don't think you've heard the last of them in another proposed merger hollin cook host of the big picture thank you always my friend. it is time now for a quick break but hang here because when we were attorney artie's trinity troubles report from new york on the economics of coffee plus crypto expert christiane is back in studio will get us on a propos and watch a news to consider as we go to break here the numbers at the closing bell pick point in a rally over the past twenty hours up more than three percent as we went to air we'll be back in a what. became

pakistan's economy remains in poor condition despite two point four one billion dollars worth of foreign investment the nation last year well now the incoming president or prime prime minister rather a pakistan celebrity athlete imran khan appears to set to make a major choice on economic policy by accepting a four billion dollars credit package from a bank based in saudi arabia pakistani officials told the financial times of london that quote the paperwork is all in place for a credit offer from saudi backed islamic development bank to be extended after mr khan takes office on sunday july or august eleventh pakistani officials reportedly expect finance minister a. more to accept if not rubberstamp in order to stem the depletion of foreign exchange reserves the package is seen as helpful but not sufficient to address pakistan's spending financial challenges pakistan's foreign exchange problem is the

most immediate crisis facing the nation as the nation's current accounts deficit is running at two billion dollars a month. and we now move to new york where art is trying to be charges looks at the economics of coffee. the first thing a many of us think about in the morning. and what most of us need to get through our day because he isn't just powering up our work days it's also fueling economies all around the world one cup of joe that's. the first thing i drink and it's part of my breakfast every morning. coffee it's the most consumed beverage in the united states even more than tap water so it's no wonder why the coffee industry impacts economies all around the world there are two types of economically important varieties of the coffee plant which are a rebekah and recall stuff and i feel tired without it i think i need it to feel normal sixty percent of the coffee produced worldwide is

a rebekah while forty percent is the boss stuff around seventy countries currently produce coffee with most of the supply coming from the developing countries of brazil vietnam colombia indonesia and ethiopia in two thousand and fourteen brazil produced a staggering two point seven million metric tons of coffee that's more than thirty percent of the world's production there are some three hundred thousand plantations that are spread over more than ten thousand square miles of brazilian landscape. continues to be the driving force behind the economic development of brazil and while vietnam is relatively new to the international coffee trade the country has quickly become one of the largest producers second to brazil and since the one nine hundred ninety s. coffee production has increased every year by twenty to thirty percent. in two thousand and fourteen the country produced one point six five million metric tons of coffee while colombia produced six hundred ninety six thousand metric tons in two thousand and fourteen followed by indonesia with four hundred eleven thousand

metric tons and ethiopia with the production of three hundred ninety thousand metric tons meanwhile here in the u.s. the number of people who drink coffee is that its highest level since two thousand and twelve. over a hundred and five according to a recent survey commissioned by the national association of coffee over two hundred twenty five billion dollars was spent on coffee in two thousand and fifteen and coffee drinkers spent a whopping seventy four billion on coffee that same year the association found that the industry employs around one point seven million jobs in the u.s. and generates about twenty eight billion dollars in taxes however the intercontinental exchange shows that coffee futures have dropped in recent years in november two thousand and sixteen futures were being bought at over one hundred ninety dollars but today prices are down to only one hundred six dollars and seventy cents but those numbers don't seem to be slowing business that coffee shops by two cups of coffee a day but you need it like to function it's also become like

a social thing according to reports tim horton's coffee house takes first place as the largest coffee chain in the world with an annual turnover of more than three point two billion dollars more than four thousand coffee chains worldwide and has more than one hundred thousand employees other popular coffee chains like starbucks and dunkin donuts taking the eighth and ninth spot and that is one of the driving factors that i'm demand. and according to a recent report around ten percent of hers or their cup of joe on their smartphone and then you can have your coffee within minutes reporting every your turn to be chavez artane. and we think trinity there just pressure news regarding crypto currency prices which may have been manipulated the wall street journal reports that a few crypto venture groups are accountable for me to believe the markets and gaining profits of roughly eight hundred twenty five million dollars in the first half of this year alone one particular crypto called whole coin

a relatively old are all going to be totally unconnected to the price a bit coin which won some credence to concerns about price manipulation and here to discuss this and other hot crypto and watching news is crypto expert and former banker crew. the i who is the co-founder and managing partner of counterpart x. christy thank you so much for being here i can't i've been looking forward to talking to you about these things what do you make of this particular coca-cola i mean i've heard of it but when you say that it's really disconnected from the price of bitcoin everything is sort of connected to big a little bit it does add some credence in my view to this charge of manipulation what are your thoughts yes so cloke i was actually one of one hundred twenty one quine's that is believed to be involved in market in the manipulation specifically pump and dump where a group of trading syndicate actually formed to pump the price of this coke quite and drive it up while the price of all the other trading pairs are actually relatively unchanged during this time span the time window for this pump was

actually only two minutes where the cloak quite actually rose dramatically fifty percent on by nancy and while none of the other coins changed and while similarly after two minutes was over all the trade is released and liquidate their positions at a profit and dump cope close driving it to the ground so this is known as pump and dump which is actually quite pervasive in the cryptocurrency market landscape as actually very reminiscent of the early days the stock exchange where penny stocks were similarly manipulated and pumped and dumped also as well and so the stock the stock market actually in the church over the years and we think that the same will come to the cryptocurrency market as well and we think that regulation and reform will come to protect all the retail traders very interesting and you know the price a bit coy over the last year has plummeted as we've talked about but i remember last year about this time and i don't know exactly the order but there was jamie diamond saying that because it was going to be short lived there was russian

president putin saying that was a pyramid scheme there's all this negative news and i remember that it took like i don't know six or eight hundred dollar drop at that time and i thought well that makes sense but then it went up and i thought you know my former reg. roland like there's got to be something going on here i mean somebody is pumping where they were dumping i didn't know but in my old rule i would have been calling the investigators up to say what's going on it's find this stuff so i'm pretty glad that they've gone ahead there at least looking at it you know as we've talked about before all these hacks are probably spend a whole segment talking about it boy price manipulation you always want people to be careful with their investments it's their hard earned money and crypto seems so cool and educate everything and they are the future money in my view but you've got to be careful particularly when you see you know triple digit price swings right absolutely and this is the case with all of these all quiets and we mentioned this last time on this segment that all coins all these smaller quine's with a market cap below five million they're very susceptible to being manipulated

because they don't have a wide distribution not many people own none so therefore a large could be traders can easily take control of that and manipulate the price and this can come in the form of a pump and dump attack like we saw here with quote point or it can also coming a form of a fifty one percent attack where your entire wallet can potentially be empty and so i know a lot of people are very excited about the potential of all to point and but it's very important to keep in mind and not get caught up in the get rich quick promise i called my friend everybody thinks that this cheap point can become the next point in the future and most likely it won't and that's like the same story with all the penny stocks that everybody got sucked into and goes about saying but when the when there is but i'll say it anyway you know when there's light liquidity where there's not a lot of trading just a couple of trades can really move prices up or down you know we there's a new study out by economists and they've said look because it is different it's different in a number or reasons from stocks and futures and the paper just out today actually

talks about how you know maybe that's an important reason why we should expect the coin to be so old school and trading and what are your thoughts i think it's very quiet at this paper came out recently big. a survey that came out last month actually said that institutional investors are sitting on the sidelines right now because they have very low confidence in predicting the price movements of cryptocurrency they don't know what really drives it so it's very interesting how this paper recently came out and so this paper attempts to investigate the potential predictors of the price movements and returns of cryptocurrency and they isolated two factors to keep factors that they found was the momentum the fact and the investor attention the fact the momentum is very similar to that of the stock market in which particularly the technology and biotech sector where if there's a dramatic increase in bitcoin one week it is very likely that the next week that the last legal will also continue and we kind of seen that because momentum is driven by hype and film olympia are missing out. and so that is actually very

likely the second factor that she highlighted was the investor attention of fact where they said that the interest and hype that is measured by the number of queries and the number of posts and google searches on the internet was actually very correlated to the pricing in fact of bitcoin the subsequent one to two weeks super interesting christine we never have enough time to get to all the christiania crypto expert counterparty x. thank you so much for being here. and that's it for this time you can catch boom bust on directv channel three twenty one dish network don't do it or three minutes before seven on pluto t.v. that's a pretty t.v. show one thirty two ers always have us up at you tube dot com slash r t we'll catch you again next time.

that's what they're up for us to do is moscow this is our team international and sean thomas glad to have you with us and israeli air strikes have injured at least eighteen people in gaza this according to local medics. i. i followed in one of the latest bombing raids a cultural center in new gaza city was destroyed the i.d.f. launched the operation after palestinian militants fired dozens of rockets into southern israel. or are at sea was. on wednesday night in the i.d.f. strike killed at least three people including a pregnant woman as well as her eighteen month old child

shot heard with pieces of their body were they were not in a complete body jean and the journey ran to the most to find out if the explosion was there or in the house ambulances came in the voices of people screaming were heard inside the house we started knocking on the door no one answered we went to the other door a small child opened it he was frightened he ran away from the woman's body blown apart baby was to the ambulances took the victims to hospital the husband was injured in the leg stomach and head and strikes were launched and how they died till dawn the israeli forces kept on singing and strikes where the policy resistance also fired rockets into israel policy that they would confront blood with blood and strikes with strikes so far there have been announcements of that he agreement between the israelis and the palestinian factions where yesterday was

a very very tough night on all the palestinians in gaza strip. tomorrow the products that are coming for the product you supply despite the great much of return policy news continue to protest did you demonstrate yesterday gaza strip let's bring. in and in the war i got the hottest yes according to the i.d.f. one hundred eighty rockets have been fired from gaza into israel since wednesday in response the military says one hundred fifty airstrikes have been carried out targeting palestinian terrorist positions most of the palestinian rockets fired into israel hit open spaces but at least two landed in a residential area seven israelis were injured. the u.n. middle east envoy is now warning of devastating consequences for all people if the israel gaza conflict continues to escalate nicholai. of war and that the situation could rapidly deteriorating. the u.s.

state department spokesperson faced a barrage of questions about a new anti russia sanctions announced on wednesday over the poisoning of the former double agent sergei screwball in the u.k. but korea isn't a great example sanctions as a result you want to get rid of their nuclear program again iran you've got a list of twelve things venezuela you've got sort of a clear list i'm trying to understand what your policy is with russia you've got a variety of myriad no sanctions what's your goal well i think the president has addressed this and so his secretary pompei o we'd like to have a better relationship with the russian government recognizing that we have a lot of areas of mutual concern earlier washington accused russia of using biological or chemical weapons against the screwballs that they discussed the claims and of the way the u.s. has justified the sanctions with my colleague. the united states. two

thousand and eighteen determined that the government of the russian federation has used chemical biological weapons against its own nationals despite any new evidence coming to light the us wants to impose sanctions on russia and this is in regards to the form of poisoning of form of double agent sake a script and his daughter back in march now the sanctions will be implemented and two sets the fish sets will ban licenses for the export of sensitive national security goods to russia including electronic items and these kind of exports have been previously allowed on a case by case basis the second round of sanctions though will be more severe this will be the prohibit u.s. baron colognes the ten minute carrier landing rights which we could affect flights from russia to the u.s. and fed the restrictions on exports and imports as well but the u.s.

says they that the second round of sanctions will come into effect unless russia provides reliable assurances that it won't use chemical weapons in the future and agrees to on site checks by the u.n. but when you say reliable assurances it was last year twenty seventeen the international community the o.p.c. w confirmed the destruction of all chemical weapons in russia exactly the chemical weapons watchdog verified the destruction and can fend this in september two thousand and seventeen but with still waiting for now that evidence as to why sanctions of being imposed now and the u.s. has already implemented measures you might remember that around sixty diplomats were expelled by the u.s. last spring when this saga fest escalated but when questions at the press conference the state department officials didn't mention any fed the reasoning behind the sanctions whether this was because of old evidence or new evidence let's

take a listen to what they had to say. where are you getting the conclusion that rush is behind this creep are poisoning i will leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding of the scriptural affair we've been very clear that we agree with the assessment that it was a joke agent and that the perpetrator was ultimately the russian federation. i'll leave it to others to give those kinds of details of what we currently understand obviously from reading the press it appears that their investigation is ongoing in terms of the scope and nature of the details and its implications but i'll leave that to others the key words that are from the official swear a leave it to others to give the details so whether the u.s. wants the u.k. to disclose the evidence behind the attack remains to be seen and the u.s. is now skating around the reasoning at the moment issuing fresh sanctions without fresh evidence and all the while russian officials here in moscow keep asking for transparency for evidence of keeps asking can russia be involved in this investigation and yet we understand the basis of the u.k.

as evidence still falls on the quote highly likely stance well the case views on this always has been highly likely that russia is behind this attack saying that only russia has the motives the means and the recall to target the school pals and moreover as well moscow has repeatedly denied involvement with this offering offering like you said cooperation on the investigation which london has repeatedly denied but so far we know that the chemical weapons watchdog the a.p. c.w. and porton down haven't been able to confirm the origin of the nerve agent we have not verified the precise source but we provided that for 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 eight you know the scientific evidence that identifies for that particular and their future is but it's not our job to see where actually was manufactured to be create your not to

even look cotton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that as analysis nor the o.p.c. w.'s report i did too far as the country. of origin of the agent use. 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 or thoughts 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 embassy saying it only wants transparency it still asks can we please to be a part of this investigation by the russian embassy calling these sanctions describing them as truck mashers. saudi air strike has killed forty civilians in yemen most of them children according to

local sources more than seventy others were reportedly wounded the strike hit a school bus and a marketplace now a bit of warning you may find the following images upsetting according to the red cross twenty nine children were killed all under the age of fifteen forty eight other people were injured including three children strike hit the north of the country which is under the control of with the rebels saudi arabia launched an intervention against them back in two thousand and fifteen in an official statement riyadh defended the attack accusing the rebels of using children as. 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 in school bus bombing has been met with outrage in the u.s. senator chris murphy tweeted that the united states bears responsibility for that

you pointed out that the us supplies that weapons to saudi arabia along with military intelligence. now the united states is by far the largest supplier of weaponry to the saudis the u.s. also provides targeting assistance for air strikes and military drills last year saudi arabia spent seven hundred fifty million dollars on training by american specialists to reduce civilian casualties and earlier this week the state department defended saudi arabia's actions in yemen. we should ask another country to stop attacking other nations and to stop fomenting terror that's one of the things that the united states government does how do you square that with the stance of saudi arabia and the u.a.e. and well 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 get foreign policy yet but you're you're siding 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 sins against the people of yemen saudi arabia certainly has a right to try to and to take out some of those bad actors that something does something that they have a right to do and we support that and i have to wrap it up i notice that you seem tongue tied about it though you would state department spokesman she didn't she didn't like the fact that the questioner was asking her about what was going on in yemen we know the u.s. a selling the weapons we know the u.s. is providing targeting data so it's horrendous and i would so the u.s. bears absolutely direct responsibility for this it's telling the saudis what to do it's telling the probably the u.a.e. what to do certainly the saudis it's a horrible bloody business and it's a war that's gotten virtually no attention in the u.s. the school bus bombing is the latest in a series of tragedies in yemen

a week ago who did a seaport was hit by an airstrike because pfizer villains were killed and one hundred seventy wounded. who day before the red cross in sanaa told us the situation in yemen is appalling. we have received twenty nine identified the bodies of children up to fourteen years old and forty eight injured among them thirty children but for the overall tour. 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 decimate the movement of population is growing because of all the. conflicts and hostilities going on so we really do think that.

more hostilities and you know the expansion of those hostilities with will exacerbate an already dire humanitarian situation even more we see violations cross the country and it's really sad 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 i mean. this is just horrific. eternal used by joe harvests in syria has been turned into a monument dedicated to those who helped to defeat the terrorists local artists carved out sculptures on the walls of the former hideout.

the search for a missing child in the u.s. has led to a grim discovery three year old abdul ghani or hodge disappeared last december in the state of georgia and last week the search led it to a remote compound in new mexico. yesterday the eleven months he is on. whether you will.

listen to this in the most news in the year. one of the biggest problems that we've had in the united states is this doctrine of not offending anybody and allowing other things to gunmen such that we changed our training manuals even for local law enforcement from studying radical islam to countering extremist violence so we're not even allowed to train local law enforcement on what radical islam studies liberal policies or what is going to blind and cripple us because we're so afraid to offend we're never going to say

anything about another religion and we're never going to look into real threats and so because of that we're seeing more homegrown terrorists because any kind of a threat or maybe a warning sign is not able to be captured by law enforcement because they don't want to offend and everybody gets in trouble if they talk about it. so you have closer ties to washington than previously thought it has 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 foreign influence or at least to try to go comment. 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 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 it we've of it's 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 flagged him as a 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 horn 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 commentator brian logan 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 lefties principles if you are against lefties ideology 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 it's going to be a battle to try and corral the internet back and kind of maytree media staff form a where you get your news reader for you and you don't have any kind of dissenting viewpoints. u.s. vice president mike pence has announced plans to create a new space force by two thousand and twenty and explaining the move named china and russia as key threats to american satellites. 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 communications 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. according to the pentagon the new space force will provide military intelligence and carry out scientific research it will also be amde at improving evolving and planning space warfighting defense analyst mark goo brood finds in the development concerning. russia has been cooperating in enabling the united states in space for some time now so i don't know what this is talking about as far as a threat to american research in space it's very ominous and very threatening i think if russia and china were doing the same sorts of things we'd give a alarm here so we really shouldn't be exploring those possibilities we should be trying to prevent those things from ever being possible which means not having

these weapons banning these weapons and gauging in arms control what's russia and china have repeatedly asked for for decades in the united states refused. the price of big coin is hovering around six thousand dollars less and then one third of its value last december our correspondent francis santiago went to the block chain economic forum in san francisco to find out what the future holds for the cryptocurrency. we're here at the draper university right across the street from draper venture fund and we're about to speak to the man himself tim draper the four year old venture capitalism of silicon valley ok we're already really rolling ok. take one so we want people to think super hero that we are we're going to make you know this kind of effort to make to create a new world that's out there this isn't tied to equity it's not tied to the value

of a company it's tied to this to the size of a network the passion of a network buying crypto calling it is the equivalent of. jumping into a kickstarter for societal transformation so i think it's going to really change all society and that transformation is as wild and innovative as one would think for example racing enthuses swan to elevate the whole racing industry by tokenize ing their own racing ecosystem and storing it on the block chain allowing anyone to finally become a pro racer so the people they have no experience was racing can get from the academy. in education so there's no danger for the people to race in between a pro free and beginner racing should be more about technology about ai and about

bringing all the people from the streets with racing to an ecosystem where racing is not illegal so we want them to get the possibility to race and earn money with that was being in danger. the price of bitcoin has reached a yearly low at the time of the tokens blocking economic reform yet the influx of capital in blace an industry doubled compared to the same time last year will these pioneers succeed this regulation and fear of the unknown. comes more into play gary gensler the former chairman of u.s. commodity futures trading commission doesn't seem to be aligned with the crypto hype. right now the asset is too volatile in value i'm just focusing on one thing too to really be a true medium of exchange and looking to figure it out let me hit the road to target the way i look at it where people say isn't it quite a really volatile i think. this is great because one bit corn is still worth one to

coin it's just all these other currencies are bullets as they disappear from view. they can't regulate their way the way they regulated i.p.o. it was an i.p.o. it's set up for the public to get involved in a company that is maybe ten billion dollars in value one hundred one hundred thousand employees and i said oh there's two guys in a dog and they're just figuring out what to do and they're getting they're raising some money into their eyes you know and then they're kind of turning that i.c.a.o. into the future now you being a member of parliament what do you think about regulation by being able to give you need to use to citizens to control the data and by by supporting and funding companies and startups to come with new ideas i think the words can chains and you

can have. faster solutions easier solutions to do anything to exchange value beyond borders i new ways to have identity also beyond borders i may be voting for young voters it would mean if a decision is speaking here that affects me maybe i have. to have my voice so i think this could be a really really exciting technology. for the dozen from will be back with more news you are watching march international stories.

thank. you. we have no idea what safety is doing on the vacation but she will be back on air in september. it's a. secret indeed of the priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so 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 where the previous standard is not know the highest ranks of the catholic church conceal the accused priests from the police and justice system to

that it does no good as the end and then i think you really have to do. this. greetings and salutations the future of the controversial agro chemical giant monsanto hangs in the balance this week watchers as the very first trial over the alleged cancer causing chemicals and sandoz weed killer roundup heads out of the courtroom and into the jury room and a true david versus goliath style story monsanto is sweating out a jury's decision all thanks to one school grounds keeper forty six year old dwayne johnson johnson is suing monsanto after being diagnosed with the debilitating and

fatal non hodgkins lymphoma which he believes was caused from being exposed to the glycine paid found in round up and it's professional grade equivalent ranger pro now while the world health organization declared glycine bay does that as possibly a carcinogen to human beings back in two thousand and fifteen here in the united states our very own environmental protection agency decreed. the chemical is not likely to be carcinogenic to humans the san francisco chronicle reports that johnson's case is the first of about four thousand nationwide to go to trial against monsanto now a subsidiary of bayer and that if the jury finds monsanto responsible for johnson's cancer the two sides have agreed that he should receive two point fifty three million in damages for lost wages medical expenses and other costs but that figure doesn't include the potential punitive damages which could reach four hundred million or more if the jury finds them santa was recklessly or intentionally causing harm which johnson's lawyers believe they were by not putting warning

labels on the product and actively fighting against any research that proves that lives of faith was it indeed carcinogenic so it was simple groundskeeper be the for the takes down the corporate type let's find out as we start watching the hawks. that's. like you know that i got. this. because i. welcome everybody to watching the world with that type of a lesson joining us now to discuss the trial and the case against month and while

we await the jury's decision is one of the attorneys fighting for mr johnson offer an environmental lawyer mr robert kennedy jr thank you for joining us. thanks for having me it's always a pleasure robert mellow the cases with the jury i want to start by asking you how are you feeling about your chances i mean taking on a corporate conglomerate of money those size and resources can no way be. how are you feeling. well i'm on the edge of my seat because we're waiting for a jury verdict and that's all it is the hardest time for attorneys who are involved in the case. but i feel good about the case i feel the jury really listened to us and they were attentive and it was a long trial as we've been here since june eighteenth. and i think that either way that we did a really good job of arguing the case. and that we have if the case does go

against. of ample reason for appeal there were a lot of controversial rulings by the judge in this case that we believed unfairly favored monsanto and we we believe we're still going to win the case but if we don't we will immediately appeal what do you think was discovered or exposed in the trial about monsanto that people need to know because i think there's so much information about them out there both positive and negative because there's such a good job that lobbyists and these people have done to sort of cover up the thing that's right in front of everybody's eyes what do you think this case really exposed about monsanto that people really really have to know well you know a lot of the the information. that we god in discovery which is really critical information for people to know about did not make it into the trial but some of it did and some of it was information that the

public has never seen before including secret memos from the man who was running e.p.a. division jess rowland to his handlers at monsanto telling them that and that he was going to kill studies for the. memos internal memos and monsanto talk about those writing studies that he a relied upon so monsanto was doing a number of things one it had the head of the division that he a on its team for many years guarding its interests with an e.p.a. making sure there were no studies of its cars and genocide. and protecting them against bad information and it was. also had a number of scientists on its payroll and it was actually authorizing studies and get paying the scientists some of them very famous scientists to sign those studies

which monsanto had written and santo was also actively trying to kill studies which it succeeded in doing and. originally e.p.a. back in the eighty's made the finding that roundup was indeed cars and janet and monsanto twisted e.p.a. as arm got them to back off that based upon one study where e.p.a. a number of my in the study and the control group at cancer or not. none of the study mites in the control group it got cancer and four or five out of the fifty and the study group in other words the exposed group had gotten cancer and monsanto paid a scientist a lot of money to go in and say that he had found a cancer in the control group and that caused the be a to throw out that you don't believe he found that tumor nobody ever saw it and the e.p.a.

then ordered monsanto to redo the study and thirty years that's ever been. so you know months ago that was a lot of bad behavior by monsanto and we got a we got a wealth of internal memos from the companies that were seen by this jury many that were not will be seen and our other trials most of what we saw one thing that's interesting is doing johnson what what was so unique about your client's case that that allowed you to finally able to take it to trial with his case oh we could have taken any of our case to trial it was an urgency with wayne which is that he is not expected to live through next year and so we really want to do we want. the jury to me is a very charming charisma addict and he. he has a very inspiring life if he came from extreme poverty and really he's been

extraordinarily hard worker is a strong work ethic he has a great sense of humor is a wonderful stories a beautiful wonderful father. and it was it was a good gauge for us one of the most important things and wayne's case is when he started getting this in the legion this is he started getting a rash on the from the areas where he had been exposed to round up he was a school groundskeeper it was spraying the round up on the school grounds in order to kill the weeds he was worried about it actually. he wore a mask but it couldn't protect them because it would have so much roundup coming out of the air and his body on sundays would literally be dragged and he began to get these rashes and he called the company and he said do i need to worry about that as you know is there anything is quoted to harm me because the company had told him it's safe enough to drink and he started getting the rashes and he was

worried and the companies that will get back to you but they never called him back and he called them twice and asked them that is. rashes turned to postulating lesions and covered his entire body and he again called the companies that and said you know this is happening to me spoke to a person answering the phone can you get somebody to call me and they said we're going to have dr goldstein our internal doctor call you back they gave the message to colds and you never call them back allow was you know i think it was important for the jury to hear that because they really you know it showed how much contempt this company as for its customers that the company by the way at that time. the international agency for cancer research had had made the pronouncement that life is a. the active ingredient roundup does called cause probably causes hodgkin's lymphoma so when he called with this problem. after goldstein the internal doctor on

santa already knew that it does cause cancer and he and he failed to call dwayne back underway and continued to spray round up. and that's one of those things that i think the one thing about mr johnson you know as he said as a person and as in this case is that he is one of many there are a lot of and most of my family grew up watching them work in jobs janitorial groundskeeping in factories they were covered in these chemicals and now a large undue majority of them are suffering from cancers and skin issues that we don't see and i think that's an entire generation of working class americans who have been in and you know been put into being poisoned by these essentially poisoned by these chemicals in order to make a living now let me ask you i mean one of the one of the things that is that. most of our clients are either home gardeners or their professional applicators they

used to live as the non hodgkins lymphoma is an epidemic in the farming communities for those four attorneys are much more difficult cases to bring because there are cofounders which means there are other most of those farmers were not exclusively spraying life to say they were using a host of chemicals over many many years and it's very hard to make the case that it was that the life is a cause there gas are so you know there's probably many many more people affected. those cases are much more difficult to bring enough. every american now is saturated with life as a you know mother's breast milk in this country contains it in the last ten year last really seven or eight years the use of roundup has changed dramatically

because. monsanto told farmers you not only can use this to spray on the ground to kill that we would threaten your crops but also when your crops are ready for harvest you should spray it directly on the crops because it dries them out and it makes it easier to harvest them now all the corn and although we know the bread that we eat in this country is loaded with life as we know we know what it is we know it's a key later so it robs your body of better rolls it's an endocrine disrupter so it interferes with sexual development and children and causes as carriage it's a it's a carson age and just with hodgkin's lymphoma but there are studies out there that connected very very very closely to fatty alcoholic addie live your liver cancer which is now exploding in this country even ten year old kids are now

being affected by it it's in all the cereal the children eat it interferes with the micro biome in your stomach and that causes blant brain inflammation and it depletes zinc in your system which raises copper levels and that you know all the autism epidemic and it's really it's a very very ad chemical it totally is and i got to say robert you know thank you so much for work and means trials and trying to hold them some two accountable and get something back for everybody i can't thank you enough for coming on to thank you again for all of your work. thank you very much for having me back to iowa and say hi to your dad for. thank you mr. art as we go to break watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics of coverage on facebook and twitter it's your poll shows that are to dot com coming up our own tabitha wallace takes on her fellow wisconsinites paul ryan over women's right not to have a family or kids then there's something unique in the. i'm expecting that happening

over new york on the whims of sirius so stay tuned for watching the whole. it's only natural that baby boomers were vote for policies that he helped found house price booms a stock price and different franchise the bottom you know age groups but this is oh well. tough luck buddy get a job kids get a job. good holds a cinch to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be rich. but you'd like to be for us

this is what before three of them or ten people that i'm interested in the waters in the. first city. thanks. to our. thank you our thank you. were. thank. you. thank. you. thank you the population of the world from one thousand nine hundred sixty

then one nine hundred ninety nine with the six billion human born on october twelfth one thousand nine hundred ninety one thousand years later the human race has added oh another one point six billion people to the planet in one nine hundred seventy five the united states was greatly alarmed of the fact that young women were simply not having his many children as previous generations as women entered college put off marriage and generally live their lives without succumbing to societal pressure or they you broke a record however the media made a point to separate what they called illegitimate births those out of wedlock and legitimate birth those born under the same duty of a marriage license what that meant to children like myself of the seventy's is that we grew up with independently spirited mother onto urged us to decide for ourselves if having children was right for us while knowing that if we had babies out of wedlock or not at all we would be shot. now here we sit

educated independent women who are making the very informed choice to not have children of our own but some people aren't so happy that we ladies are we're taught to think for ourselves and set of popping out a tax base speaker of the u.s. house of representatives paul ryan thinks that women like me just aren't doing our patriotic duty people this is going to be the new economic challenge for america people baby boomers are retiring i did my part but but you know we need to have higher birth rates in this country meaning they do boomers retiring and we have fewer people falling in the workforce. that's right women know your place and get to make a gap of all isms indentured servants of the future let's look at the numbers here according to the u.s. census bureau as of july fourth twenty thousand the u.s. population is about three hundred twenty eight million fifty four thousand eight

hundred ninety two people we average one birth every eight seconds about one death every twelve seconds and one international immigrant every twenty nine seconds giving the united states and that date of one person every twelve seconds which is averages out to a net gain in the population of about seven hundred seventy five hundred eighty eight people per day or about two point seven million people per year which comes out to a growth rate of under one percent the advances in contraceptives and the increased access to women's health services meant women in the late seventy's and early eighty's were able to plan for having families much more efficiently and later in life according to the national center for health statistics in one thousand nine hundred the average age of the first time mothers was between eighteen and twenty four with very few women having children after the age of thirty however by twenty sixteen that had changed dramatically with first time mothers it's twenty to thirty four but those averages can be monumentally deceiving remember that picture of me

right there as a little girl well if i had stayed in my hometown sisig say i probably wouldn't be here talking to you that's right. so the average age of first time mothers in new york los angeles and washington d.c. is between twenty nine and thirty one but the average age of first time mothers in my small rural wisconsin town was and is twenty with seventy six percent of area women having all of their children between twenty and twenty four but if you go to places like san francisco the average age of first time mothers now is thirty five it's actually paul ryan's claim that more americans having babies will fix the economy it's sort of borders on eugenics and ignores the the very legitimate and downright responsible reasons people are having as many babies these days here in america adults of childbearing age in the us are strapped with student loan debt which makes affording the twenty thousand or so dollars it currently costs just to

give birth to a child nearly impossible not to mention the hundreds of thousands of dollars it cost to raise them there are at least half a million kids in the country who are in the child care system right now who already made parents and eleven percent of millennial have fertility problems that are wildly expensive to overcome and while the list of reasons is long ever so long it's a necessary thing no woman has to have a reason for not having children women are not cattle men are not pollinators we don't graze of the fields until the end of use to procreate with a good in the nation and politicians who choose to go down this handmaid's tale adjacent passed up bed decades of good and important social change for women will find themselves on the losing end of a ballot. wow that is incredible i though those.

i'm going away. paul ryan clipper rome makes me throw up a little in the back of my door this is what over here you have a party that says oh we're all about individual freedom and small government but you're not allowed to have the individual freedom to choose whether you want kids or not because we need the government. but ridiculous if you break down what they're trying to say now what are the things i think that i do want to get out as that also this week was this is all happening because there's been this sort of push now it's like i want to go babies or not having a baby or baby is. always progress of. it's a laura ingram a. couple of days ago has had mentioned something very similar about this baby thing and i said massive demographic changes have been foisted upon the american people and there are changes that none of us ever voted for and must most of us don't like from virginia to california we see stark examples of how radically the

country has changed that much of this is related to both illegal and in some cases illegal immigration that of course progressives love. for those of you who don't have a laura ingraham translator what she's trying to say is and what i think paul ryan is trying to say is we more white middle class. we need to know many of the yes it looks different it's a it's a total disturbing. mindset to have an also you know women are just cattle for the tax base and and you know i thought it was yours and i thought you made the good point too is that there's also you know for men out there who are mediately want to jump on well with. their use of you was pollinators there i thought it was a really good point that you made right there and what's interesting is many scientists believe that the current reduction in birth rates is simply basically part of the natural cycle of overpopulation and that rection the baby boom was a boom but now those babies are retiring and need care and us politicians would

rather push this kind of birth increases the natural immigration of people moving around but. major as it is this beautiful ecosystem if suddenly it decides ok there's too many people on this earth it's going to correct itself but you see that in every other spear on the planet except for our own at times yeah and it's also been smart enough i think us to have these days our kids i mean we look around the world and most of us who are child able to have children child bearing age as you say look to every ten seconds a child dies of hunger after death half of the deaths of children under out of you guys are that under five are from malnutrition ok researchers estimate that between five point five million people die from ninety five to two thousand and two as a result of just thirteen wars in just thirteen countries ok and it just gets more and more it's like twenty fourteen there were one hundred eighty thousand fatalities and forty two active conflicts it goes on and off you know having twenty sixteen ten point four million people around the world got tb they give one point

seven million deaths worldwide we don't need more babies we need to take care of the people we have so that people can have healthy families can afford to give them a right life because that's the reason i didn't have kids because i did not have the money to give them the health care and the life i felt they deserved i agree the most people that's the reason that they it unless there's some other physical reason to be done most people is. i can't afford to provide for this child i want to love my child one will provide if i can't do that so i'm saddled with debt and i don't have universal health care or some version of it what can i do well sorry paul that doesn't work that way doesn't work that way if you do things i mean i was lucky you know my family have a big extended family as you can see now those are average fixer but. he has vertigo the answer i got her but my point is like yeah we all have these different roles to play and now at some woman said something about it takes a village and i think we all have to be that village for all of us and take care of

everybody to think. despite what you have not heard and most of the see there is actually an international catastrophe taking place in the country of yemen being perpetrated in a very large part by a saudi arabian led coalition backed by the united states military hardware logistics shocking i know and this week's tragedy has yet again hit the streets of yemen as a school bus filled with civilian schoolchildren were was destroyed by coalition forces killing as many as twenty nine kids according to the international committee of the red cross artie's death cold as the story. most of the victims of the attack are said to be children under the age of ten saudi in the airstrikes targeted them as their school bus drove through a marketplace a warning these images may be disturbing the latest figures say fifty were killed and seventy seven injured that number may go up as casualties continue to be

delivered to the hospital the strikes were inside the province in the north west of yemen and the area under whose the rebel control the saudi led coalition issued a statement saying the attack was in accordance with international law and accused who the rebels of using children as human shields this attack comes days after the saudi led coalition bombed a fish market in the data port and damaged the city's main hospital that attacked a. more than forty civilians and injured one hundred among them women and children it's the fortieth month of the war that began back in march of two thousand and fifteen reports say as many as fifty thousand people have been killed nearly eighteen million yemenis that's sixty percent of the population are food insecure the world health organization estimates there are now more than one million cases of cholera and the united nations says gehman is the worst humanitarian catastrophe in the world connecticut senator chris murphy tweeted us bombed us targeting us mid

air support and we just bombed a school bus the saudi u.a.e. u.s. bombing campaign is getting more reckless killing more civilians and strengthening terrorists inside yemen we need to end this now with no immediate reaction from the white house and the united states playing a crucial role in the war on yemen this humanitarian disaster shows no signs of slowing down reporting in washington dan cowen r t. during the civil war in syria it was discovered that insurgents terrorists were using underground tunnels large enough to drive cars through and eastern good which included hospitals military headquarters and even shooting ranges all underground but when these tunnels in jobar were discovered and closed in april most didn't think it could be transformed into something good but as you can see it was serious artists are turning the tunnels into an artistic expression of the strength of the syrian people but we are learning in the remnants of contemporary war is that no

matter how destructive the practice of combat is when the dust settles and people will become stronger by refusing to let those who do harm own the narrative other people and their experiences. full stop beautiful stop or that is our show for today everyone remember that in this world we are told that we love this stuff so i tell you all i love you i am a tire over the top. people watch those talks have a great day and night but. first. of all those little moving toward a show don't go to all so diageo out on the first day. come

talking to people in the same neighborhood they said that they found. the mother and the baby shot heard with pieces of their body were they were not in a complete body jean and the journey ran to the most to find out if the explosion was there or in the house ambulances came in the voices of people screaming were heard inside the house we started knocking on the door no one answered we went to the other door a small child opened it he was frightened he ran away from the woman's body blown apart baby was to campbell and his took the victims to hospital the husband was injured in the leg stomach and head and strikes were launched. till dawn the israeli forces kept on singing and strikes where the policy resistance also fired rockets into israel policy that they would confront blood with blood and strikes with strikes so far there have been announcement but he agreement

deteriorate. the u.s. state department spokesperson faced a barrage of questions about the new anti russian sanctions announced on wednesday over the poisoning of the former double agent sergey screwball in the u.k. but korea isn't a great example sanctions and as a result you want to get rid of their nuclear program again iran you've got a list of twelve things venezuela you've got sort of a clear list i'm trying to understand what your policy is with russia you've got a variety of myriad no sanctions what's your goal well i think the president has addressed this and so his secretary pompei o we'd like to have a better relationship with the russian government recognizing that we have a lot of areas of mutual concern. earlier washington accused russia of using biological or chemical weapons against of the screwballs archies

a new show said he discussed of the claims and the way the us has justified the sanctions with my colleague resolution. the united states the six two thousand and eighteen determined that the government of the russian federation has used chemical biological weapons against its own nationals despite any new evidence coming to light the us wants to impose sanctions on russia and this is in regards to the form of poisoning of form and double agent sake a script on his door to you back in march now the sanctions will be implemented and two sets the fish sets will ban licenses for the export of sensitive national security goods to russia including electronic items and these kind of exports have been previously allowed on a case by case basis the second round of sanctions there will be more severe this will be the prohibit us baron colognes the ten minute carrier landing rights which with could affect flights from russia to the u.s.

and further restrictions on exports and imports as well but the u.s. says they that the second round of sanctions will come into effect unless russia provides reliable assurances that it won't use chemical weapons in the future and agrees to on site checks by the u.n. but when you say reliable assurances it was last year twenty seventeen the international community the o.p.c. w confirmed the destruction of all chemical weapons in russia exactly the chemical weapons watchdog verified the destruction and can fend this in september two thousand and seventeen but we're still waiting for now evidence as to why sanctions of being imposed now and the u.s. has already implemented measures you might remember that around sixty diplomats were expelled by the u.s. last spring when the. saga fest escalated but when questions at the press conference the state department officials didn't mention any fair the reasoning

behind the sanctions whether this was because of all the evidence or new evidence let's take a listen to what they had to say where are you getting the conclusion that fresh is behind the screen poisoning i will leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding of the scruple affair we've been very clear that we agree with the assessment that it was a agent and that the perpetrator was ultimately the russian federation. i'll leave it to others to give those kinds of details of what we currently understand obviously from reading the press it appears that their investigation is ongoing in terms of the scope and nature of the details and its implications but i'll leave that to others the key words there from the officials where a leave it to others to give the details so whether the u.s. wants the u.k. to disclose the evidence behind the attack remains to be seen and the u.s. is now skating around the reasoning at the moment issuing fresh sanctions without fresh evidence and all the while russian officials here in moscow keep asking for

transparency for evidence to keep asking can russia be involved in this investigation and yet are we to understand the basis of the yukos evidence still falls on the quote highly likely stance well the case of views on this always has been highly likely that russia is behind this attack saying that only russia has the motives the means and the record to target the school policy and moreover as well moscow has repeatedly denied involvement with this offering offering like you said cooperation on the investigation which london has repeatedly denied but so far we know that the chemical weapons watchdog the a.p. c.w. and porton down haven't been able to confirm the origin of the nerve agent we have not verified the precise 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 eat you know

the scientific evidence that identifies what the particular layer of region is but it's not our job to see where that actually was manufactured to be create your not table it gotten down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that as analysis of the p.c. w.'s report i did to find the country. of origin of the agent use. 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 will 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 embassy 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. measures. a saudi

airstrike has killed forty civilians in yemen most of them children according to local sources more than seventy others were reportedly wounded the strike hit a school bus and a marketplace and a bit of warning you may find the following images disturbing according to the red cross twenty nine children were killed all under the age of fifteen forty eight other people were injured including thirty children the strike hit the north of the country which is under the control of the rebels saudi arabia launched an intervention against them back in two thousand and fifteen and an official statement riad defended the attack accusing the rebels of using children as human. 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 the school bus bombing has

been met with outrage in the u.s. senator chris murphy tweeted that the united states bears responsibility for the deaths he pointed out that the u.s. supplies weapons to saudi arabia long with military intelligence. united states is by far the largest supplier of weaponry to the saudis the u.s. also provides targeting assistance for air strikes and military drills last year saudi arabia spent seven hundred fifty million dollars on training by american specialists to reduce civilian casualties and earlier this week the state department defended saudi arabia's actions in yemen. we should ask another country to stop attacking other nations and to stop fomenting terror that's one of the things that the united states government does how do you square that with the stance of saudi arabia and the u.a.e. and well i do you don't see i'm sorry what do you mean by you're saying that you don't have any problem telling the country how to get this for him paul getty yet but you're you're siding with saudi here. 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 sins against the people of yemen saudi arabia certainly has a right to try to and to take out some of those bad actors that something does something that they have a right to do and we support that and i have to wrap it up i notice that you seem tongue tied about it though you would state department spokesman she didn't she didn't like the fact that the questioner was asking her about what was going on in yemen we know the u.s. a selling the weapons we know the u.s. is providing targeting data so it's it's horrendous and i would say the u.s. bears absolutely direct responsibility for this it's telling the saudis what to do it's telling the probably the u.a.e. what to do certainly the saudis it's a horrible bloody business and it's

a war that's gotten virtually no attention in the u.s. the school bus bombing is the latest in a series of tragedies in yemen a week ago who did a seaport was hit by an airstrike fifty five civilians were killed and one hundred seventy wounded mirella who day but from the red cross in sanaa told us 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 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 decimate the movement of population is growing because of. conflicts and hostilities going on so really do think that.

more hostilities and you know the expansion of those hostilities with it will exacerbate an already dire humanitarian situation even more receive violations cross the country and it's nice 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 i mean. this is just horrific. the tunnel used by joe harvests in syria has been turned into a monument dedicated to those who helped defeat the terrorists local artists carved out sculptures on the walls of the former.

i'm leaving this is this is me this was new. year. and one of the biggest problems that we've had in the united states is this doctrine of not offending anybody and allowing other things to gunmen such that we changed our training manuals even for local law enforcement from studying radical islam to countering extremist violence so we're not even allowed to train local law enforcement on what radical islam studies liberal policies or what is going to

blind and cripple us because we're so afraid to offend we're never going to say anything about another religion and we're never going to look into real threats and so because of that we're seeing more homegrown terrorists because any kind of a threat or maybe a warning sign is not able to be captured by law enforcement because they don't want to offend and everybody gets in trouble if they talk about it. may have closer ties to washington than previously thought has now emerged of the social media giant is relying on experts funded by branches of the u.s. government and nato when it comes to tracking foreign influences artie's labor. comment. 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 we're just a 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 prevails. 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. link 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 they have now given some opportunity to work with them and i hope that in a month 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 who are doing just as great one question though since already most americans had to social media to get their news when will freedom of speech ring a bell political commentator brian 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 left principles if you are

against lefties ideology 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 a government in a 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 made staff form a where you get your news reader for you and you don't have any kind of distancing viewpoints. u.s. vice president mike pence has announced plans to create a new space force by two thousand and twenty and explaining the move he named china and russia as key threats to american satellites. 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 communications satellites the electronic attacks from the ground but recently our adversaries have been working to bring new weapons of war into space itself. into the pentagon the new space force will provide military intelligence and carry out scientific research it will also be aimed at improving and evolving and planning space war fighting defense analyst mark go brew defines the development concerning. brusha has been cooperating in enabling the united states in space for some time now so i don't know what this is talking about as far as a threat to american research in space it's a very ominous and very threatening i think if russia or china were doing the same sorts of things we'd give a armed here so we really shouldn't be exploring those possibilities we should be

trying to prevent those things from ever being possible which means not having these weapons banning these weapons and gauging an arms control let's russia and china ever be totally asked for for decades in the united states refused. well the price of big quite is hovering around a six thousand dollars less than one third of its value last december our correspondent a gal friends of santiago went to the block chain economic forum in san francisco to find out what the future holds for the cryptocurrency. we're here at the draper university right across the street from draper venture fund and world bout to speak to the man himself tim draper the more volatile picture capitalism of silicon valley. the rolling ok. face was so we want people to think superheroes where we're going to make you know this kind of effort to make

china slaps new tariffs on u.s. goods as the trade war between the two nations escalates will it impact in the mid turns taking a look at that on this edition of. the

politicking on larry king later in the program former republican governor of new jersey christine todd whitman joins me for a one on one conversation about harsh criticisms of donald trump and her calls for the president to step down stick around for that later but first on wednesday china announced a new round of tabs in the intelli ation fight for tatters that the troubled ministration is slapped on chinese goods entering the u.s. what's the impact of this latest escalation in the trade war between the united states and china and will the president pay a political price for this negative impact that the tower of babel has placed on some of his most ardent supporters. we'll talk about that and more with bob livingston former republican member of congress from louisiana a state that will be heavily hit by china's tariffs he's in new orleans and in washington chris lew he served as white house cabinet secretary and deputy

secretary of labor during the obama administration he's now a senior fellow at the vigil. miller center sorry you bob on china announced plans twenty five percent. thanks to agriculture or oil and gas is going to have a huge knevitt negative effect on your state what do you make of this. well i'm hoping it's going to be short term where am i we can't really tell it we won't know for another couple of months but trump's goal has been ressa prosody he wants the chinese to treat us like we've been treating the chinese the problem is in the last many years we've been easy on their trade but they've been pretty tough on ours and they won't allow our stuff in and or at least they put high tariffs on it and so i think his concern is is absolutely on target.

implementation of any trade. exchange wars or otherwise is is tenuous i'd personally like most of the trump. accomplishments over these last two years and this is the one question mark i have but i have to tell you i think reciprocity is the right goal i think that the president is absolutely on target they've been stealing our information from people who are hacking our systems they've been. relying on us to not be tough on their trade while they have been tough on ours and so the goal of having them treat us just like we treat them and vice versa is probably exactly right when you argue that this has the system in unfair. absolutely you know we have legitimate complaints with china not only in terms of intellectual property theft in terms of

currency manipulation but this isn't the way to go and if you're going to engage in a trade battle with china you'd rather do it with your european allies with canada and mexico on your side we are fighting a trade war on all fronts right now and that's going to have ramifications not only for businesses but workers and farmers and consumers and let's not forget tariffs are a tax and they're going to make chinese goods more expensive and they're going to make chinese raw materials that go into u.s. manufactured products more expensive we saw this week for instance a company that makes t.v.'s in south carolina that relies on chinese parts saying they're going to have to lay off about one hundred employees because the components are too expensive so yes we are right to get tough with china but i don't see an end game right now and i think as this continues to spiral out without a strategy that could be very troubling for the u.s. economy bob soybean which is louisiana's top the export to china need about five point six billion farmed on nearly one million acres in your states already hit

with heavy towers early this year ten years data for this. well i'm no farmer and i can't be claimed ok claim to be an expert on soybeans other than the slick that i am told that there are other markets that we can sell to the brazilians we can sell the. others who consume soybeans in the their markets could be offset by any loss in the church in the chinese front but again i'd have to say that look if this is a short term deal it'll be a blip on the screen people have counted trump out innumerable times in other areas and you can't argue with his goal of reciprocity so if he and secretary ross and and lighthouses are in the other people who are experts in this arena are right this whole thing will be over the couple of months and we'll forget about it but in the meantime there's going to be some short term tightening of the belts clears is

reciprocity a bad idea no reciprocity is a good idea but you need to have a strategy when you engage in these trade battles and unfortunately the innocent bystander in all of this is u.s. workers who are going to lose their jobs or u.s. farmers who are going to lose access to critical markets the problem is that the u.s. agriculture industry has tried for years to get more access into the china market it's a huge market for something like soybeans and so if this continues to drag on china will find other places to purchase their soybeans from for and as farmers are beginning to harvest their crops later on this year they're going to be faced with problems as to where to sell their products and so yes i you know i agree with the congressman we don't know what the long term impact on this is and i would certainly feel better if i had a sense that there was a strategy here it feels like a game of one up spent ship right now and mind you this is a president who said that trade wars are easy to win and they're not easy to win

and it's one of the reasons why there is so much bipartisan concern in congress about the direction that this is taking bob china doesn't have to worry about political fallout but trump has to seek reelection and he's got. so what's the incentive to acquiesce to america's demands that china's in china to say screw you . well they could except for the fact that they've got to have billion people there who are consumers and who are going to pay more for american products or of their own products plus they have about twice as much debt that they're covering on their economy than we do relatively speaking and i'm told i will if you watch gordon chang who i think is one of the premier experts on the chinese economy and he indicates. that the chinese economy is very fragile and they can only take so much pain for so poor so much period of time we are thriving we got the lowest

unemployment the best economy that we've had in fifteen years and i think that if we have to economically we can hold out what you said about the political situation is another story altogether and we'll only know what happens in november . chris in a piece in politico the economist meghan green suggests that donald trump has already hit his high water mark on the economy and will probably significant slowdown in the next couple of years you lou that i do agree with that and i think it's simply where we are in this economic cycle right now this recovery has now gone on for eight or nine years going back to two thousand and ten during the obama administration it's just a simple matter of all of where we are as cycles go you also see for instance the g.d.p. numbers that came out last week that there were great numbers four point one percent but they were artificially juiced by the tax cuts as well as by

a government spending bill earlier this year i think most economists think for overall for the year we're probably looking at around two and a half percent growth and i think we are starting to face these headwinds again if this trade workers on it could start to drag down consumer spending it could start to drag down manufacturing as well we don't know but simply based on the life cycle of recoveries we're probably heading towards the end of this one of the races in kansas and and ohio was so close in fact there's going to be another election in november in ohio and do you think it was a victory for them is it from bone to zero is it too close to call. well i tell you what if those guys had lost they would certainly be trumpeting the great losses they didn't lose there's to be some absentee ballots to be counted but right now it looks like trump got five for five that's a pretty good record i'll take it any way i could get it i have to say that our

candidate in ohio has made mistakes and i'm hoping the rectify. because i think he meant to cause some of his own problems but he was about twenty points behind before donald trump went in there for this last weekend and he won by about seven hundred votes that's a remarkable turnaround and if trump can keep doing that he said he's going to go out and campaign for candidates i think the republicans are going to do ok this year trump said he's willing to shut down the gum because you get a spending bill that includes the wall is he serious oh i think he is serious i don't think the senate or the house leaders are necessarily backing him on that and you start to see trump back away from that threat last week i think it would be sort of ironic to shut down the government when you control both houses and i think they you know i think you do that you're at your own peril if you do that going into a midterm election that is already facing significant headwinds just given the democratic

enthusiasm right now bob landrieu the former mayor of new orleans is weighing way says he's wearing a run for the twenty twenty democratic. what do you make of that idea. well i know midge i've known him most of my life he's nice guys sr was a united states senators dad was both mayor and secretary of hud under jimmy carter landrieu families an old son political family are in this city but i don't think you get elected statewide and i really don't like to get elected nationwide so i don't i wouldn't put a lot of money on his chances now but both of you what's going to happen in the midterms chris was you're thinking well i think what we saw yesterday was incredible democratic this yes and i would disagree with the congressman about how to read the high zero twelve results this was a district that donald trump won by eleven points that the incumbent who had

resigned had won by thirty six points and what you've seen today is a lot of the political prognosticators moving a significant number of house seats into the toss up category i think barring something unusual democrats will to take back the house they'll probably hold their own in the senate plus or minus a seat or so bob how do you see it. well i think we're going to pick up seats in the senate and i don't put any money on this blue wave if anything it's a blue trickle and it's going to be close no matter how you cut it the republicans if they help hold the house will do it by a very narrow majority and the democrats if they take that out will do it by a very narrow majority look there's no substitute for having an excellent candidate in my opinion and in the house race in ohio i don't i'm not so sure that that was the case our candidate needs to do a better job if he does he can still hold on in all of those other races frankly i

think that it depends on the quality of the candidate but i wouldn't count too much on the big democrat wave look democrats are sorely divided all of bernie sanders candidates and that lady ocasio whatever name is from new york campaigned for all of them last with the exception of one and if you look at lee rush the race around the country if the you if they have extreme leftist candidates they're not going to win they are flat out not going to win except in the most unusual districts if they have strong mainstream candidates on the democrats' side yeah they'll impose a significant threat but again the republicans need to have some top quality candidates as well and i've met a lot of them and i'm very very impressed with the quality that they're putting up bob and chris thanks so much for your time today great talking with both of you thank you thank you larry good to be with you when i have

a one on one with the former governor of new jersey christine todd whitman right after the break don't go away. aeroflot russian and lives. in a world of big partisan movie lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle

for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. aeroflot russian and lions.

live. it's only natural that baby boomers one vote for policies that. her help them price them for stock price and it's different franchise. you know age groups but oh well . tough luck buddy get a job kids get a job. or go back to politicking for several decades christine todd whitman has been

a stalwart republican an insider in the administration of george w. bush where she served as administrator of the environmental protection agency for that she was the republican governor of new jersey the first female governor of that state that recently she has taken her party to task and has also gone public with her call for republicans to put the g.o.p. label aside and join her in calling for president donald trump to step down let's find out why it's. good seeing you again you recently with a larry you recently wrote an article in which you said i am a lifelong republican i have campaigned in one as a member of the party i have served more than one republican president we must put aside the g.o.p. label as hard as that may be and demonstrate the leadership of our country needs by calling on the president to step down what led you to do that. well the final straw

was the behavior in europe when he was there for the e.u. and nato and seem to reject our allies actually embarrassed several of them and then embraced putin and refused to take him on over the fact that russia was meddling in our elections and still is at that point he was saying it was still saying it wasn't happening and that just isn't behavior that's good for the country that doesn't keep us safe putin will never be our ally we need to engage with them i absolutely believe that but he's never going to be our ally and we shouldn't undermine those who have stood by us with whom we've stood to protect the world against the encroachment of communism and people like putin your party those seems to left you on this the is doesn't have a great deal of support inside the g.o.p. well he doesn't side the leadership but you know larry if you look at the statistics

a will tell you that today between twenty six and twenty nine percent of eligible voters identify as republicans the highest i've seen is twenty nine someone else told me it was twenty six thirty percent as democrats and forty percent as independents so that's the vast majority of the voting public the majority of the voting public is not republican hard republican right nor are they frankly hard hard democrat left and that troubles me as much as what i'm seeing with the republican party is the way the democrats seem to be securing themselves to the left that's not healthy for the country but anyway if you look at it yes his base is rock solid but it's a minority and we have to keep reminding ourselves of that at least those in elective office that are so afraid of losing their seats. but according to him to step down knowing his first and. what's the likelihood frankly of that government that's there's not a likelihood he won't do it but it really was to put it there put the extreme out there to say come on republicans at least push back on some of these things you

know we've been calling him for sanctions we've had sanctions against russia everybody says look isn't this crazy sanction russia all over the place they're not enforcing the sanctions congress needs to step up and say it's great to say we're sanctioning but let's enforce the sanctions and fact they've been rolling back some of them as they apply to some of the oligarchs and those are the people you want to hit because they're the ones who support putin you want to get the economics of russia because that's where putin is the most vulnerable so you know it's time to stand up and say this back and forth thing of whether you believe it whether you don't believe it it's the instability that we are projecting to the world has people scratching their heads and i'm sure larry you hear the way i do well don't worry about it it's what he says and watch what he does not what he says what he says makes a difference he's president of the united states what he says matters it has an impact overseas and here domestically what do you make of this true.

friendship fools in a better mood the luton. i find it very puzzling i understand the desire to want to deal with russia we have to deal with russia it is a major power it's a nuclear power but the way he seems to kowtow to him the way he refuses to take him on meddling he will put out a statement every now and again saying well yeah they are and then he almost the next day said but it's not not really and other things are more important he seems to have a predilection for strongman i mean kim jong un he says is a fine guy he said he was great he was really impressed with the fact that he was able to take the reins of control of his country at such a young age i mean i guess if you like people who in visser ate their relatives with. with machine guns from an airplane if they don't like them or poison them somewhere else that's good but not what we want and i tell you larry you know you i'm sure have spoken out i know you have spoken out on this idea that the president

said don't listen to the news don't believe what you see don't believe what you hear only believe me i mean this fake news the independence of our news of our media is sacrosanct it's important in a democracy you have to have an independent press i worry if from woods that if you do if you would step down. how can you as a social liberal you are socially liberal how do you deal with mike pence. well frankly for two years i can handle it over trump's erratic behavior i don't think pence would get us into a war because he'd tweet something at two am i mean i disagree with a bunch about everything he would want to do particularly on the social side of things on the domestic side but he says he's more say he's sane i think he is i don't agree with them and some people may decide that his extremism is not is

a form of of issue but i don't think he would to lead us into a war i think he would respect the military he would respect our allies i'm sure of that and that's that's good as far as i'm concerned you know in the environmental protection agency. then i knew differently was been run through the machine what do you make of some statement the other day about the california fires. i thought it was an embarrassment for him stop embarrassing yourself it is a drought that is causing these fires a drought which oh by the way is exacerbated by something called climate change i mean you can deny climate change all you want it's still going to happen and it is happening where you can have an argument over how much is human caused because we're not the sole components on this ok but you can't deny it and you can't deny that humans have an impact on it and a very significant one and the thing that's so interesting to me larry is that better than fifty percent of even republicans say yes the climate is changing yes

humans have an impact and oh by the way we should do something about it and yet for some reason it's become this tool that one side can use against the other and you're either a full believer or you're not and it's one of those things if they look at everything today and you've seen as everything is looked at through the pop partisan political prism rather than the policy prism it's not about how do i solve a problem it's how do we get another vote in my caucus or on my reelect ho do you personally react to it steve bannon. i recently told vanity fair he said the republican college educated woman is done they are gone trump has triggered them that's your reaction to that just have to laugh over steve benen i think that's wishful thinking on his part no we're not done we're still here oh by the way a lot of us may have moved and i haven't yet i'm still a republican because i believe firmly and trying to change things from inside and i

wish fewer people would adopt would keep opting out in this being independent or nonaffiliated the thing to do is pick the party that at least offends you these days and try to get it back to where you want it to be but working on the outside has never been terribly successful in this country so i hope people will stay with it and try to work through it but a lot of those women have moved out of the republican party to independent they're not democrats but they're haven't given up the fight not by a long shot what do you make of it as we call them a formal moderate someone you know very well i would guess rudy giuliani. i think maybe part of this is he loves being the go to guy and he's on the press a lot he's the spokesperson i have to believe that he truly likes donald trump and truly believes donald trump and all of this but how he can you know he keeps changing the the rhetoric keeps changing and the goalposts keep changing well maybe

it was collusion but now collusion isn't a crime in oh larry i don't know about you but to me it may not be listed separately as a crime in the law books but if a representative of this country is a kowloon ng with a representative of another country to find dirt to undermine our democracy that's a crime in my book that is something i just can't tolerate and how you can stand up and try to defend that i just don't know by saying oh well it's not important because it really isn't a crime that's hairsplitting that i don't think does anyone any justice you want from tourism but you agree that it's unlikely so therefore do you want the democrats to take the house in november where they might impeach. well i'm not sure the they're going in for impeachment is going to be terribly helpful but i think to get a better balance it would serve us better as

a country if we didn't have all three i mean the two branches both houses and the executive branch in the hands of one party i've never believed that all one party government as a good thing i had a democrat legislature when i was governor for part of it and did a little i mean i had all republicans for most of it i should back off that and say i had most republicans for most of it and there were times when i really wished i had the strength democrats to to fight against to to work with to bump bounce things back and forth within in fact some of the most controversial things or difficult things to accomplish the. reform insurance reform i did with the democrats you need to have that counterpoint zero point counterpoint it's healthy so you'd like the democrats to take the house in the room i think we'd be better off frankly christine i love talking with you i hope you'll come back again soon i'd love to those good seeing you thank you so much governor my pleasure and thank

will the world's governments be left with when bitcoin goes global and can overcome its unstable nature to bring about a radical financial revolution. yeah welcome to the show it's really great to have you on our program now you predicted bitcoins thousand fold increase back in two thousand and eleven and indeed from one dollar in february twenty level hit a record high while most seven thousand eight hundred eighty dollars last week that had a plunge and it's back up again now why does it keep growing and is there any price limit for bitcoin yes there is a price limit for bitcoin encrypt a currency it is not it cannot displace more money exists in the world so there is an upper ceiling that upper ceiling if you're just regarding bitcoin as a commodity on the market which i think it is like any currency can easily go to one

million or more per bitcoin it's important to remember that. bitcoin might not be the final crypto currency crypto currency will displace the central bank money but with social networks we had six degrees which was reflected replaced by friendster which was replaced by my space which was replaced by facebook so some crypto currency is going to be worth a lot of money which one well that's a gamble so we're having this because i split right without going into too much detail we have two different versions of be coin as of now you are the man behind the bitcoin cash this is a new version of bitcoin that was created according to your organization in response to ears of mismanagement of the be quite a legacy network is big corns decentralized nature it's accolades hill is it going to keep splintering because there will always be someone in the community who will be unhappy about the way it functions. the key aspect of bitcoin is that it's

permission less you don't need to ask anybody's permission to do anything and this is key in the entire community which is why i decided to publish a letter where i was chief executive officer without asking anybody's permission as a way to illustrate that we're not asking permission that's just part of our community the person the person who's behind because in cash would depress merely be a french name. says cher who started working on this with again without asking anybody's permission now he don't have to vibe coins you can mine them by using a high powered processor like they won in a video card and the gold rush is on here in moscow ready had as video cart shoreditch you literally couldn't find any stores ever what it was buying them up to furnish the coin mining farms but i can because i really make everybody rich

know. cannot make everybody rich. bitcoin right now is a huge wealth transfer to those who understand. its implications early on the wealth transfer of this magnitude was around eight hundred fifty it was about those who follow the oil there's a huge wealth transfer going on right now where those who used to be poor nerdy geeky sitting in their mom's basement if you like are suddenly the new millionaires . that perhaps more than anything is going to have a profound effect on what the future of our society looks like because for the last two hundred or so years it was the people who found all that decided where money went who what research was made and when the geeks and nerds are

sitting on that money and deciding what research gets made it's not going to be a better diesel engine it's going to be a better solar panel is going to be teleportation is going to be space travel i think that's going to be one of the more profound changes happening here and wealth transfer to an tiredly new type of people. everyone john wallace bandwagon or is it to write. well if it comes and goes i mean if i can't get financial advice but if cryptocurrency fulfills that promise and there's no indication it wouldn't. the equivalent of one bitcoin needs to be in the two to five million dollar range but at that point it doesn't make sense to measure it in u.s. dollars anymore because the u.s. dollar won't have any measurable value. so. it is absolutely not to late just like it wasn't too late when the bitcoin was

a three dollars or thirty dollars or three hundred dollars or three thousand dollars but this is a very high volatility. this is a really risky investment and if you're asking me whether somebody should invest then the answer is nobody should ever invest more. being capable of losing every single cent of it goldman sachs c.e.o. lloyd blankfein says climb maybe another bubble just like that of the dot coms and j.p. morgan chase c.e.o. jamie dimon compares cryptic heresy to the dutch seventeenth century. don't these men have a point i mean a bubble forms one there is public ignorance and with most people have a vague idea what it is and how it works. i think that i think you have to point the most people don't really understand what bitcoin is it is peer to peer electronic money that means i have a phone here i can use that phone to transfer money to a nearby phone or to

a phone on the other side of the planet the transfer is instant it is practically free nobody gets to decide whether i can make that transaction or not including financial authorities and that in itself will mean a financial revolution this is an extinction level event for banks banks will no longer be a necessary middle. more than anything why i believe this is the future of finance i'm a name that he makes. obviously very popular but it also enables crime to remember the interests want to cry or run somewhere it may this can potentially make governments restrict frequent trait substantially and that drastic slump in its value do you think cryptocurrency can partially sacrifice anonymity to ward off

shady users. it is more traceable than any money that came before it because every every single unit of bitcoin is traceable through its entire monetary history through anonymous account but once you are the anonymize one account you can start on raveling where the transactions go. the second part of the question which is more interesting is the government's. bitcoin is a peer to peer currency a peer to peer technology means that there is no middlemen. governments have been trying to stop peer to peer technologies since napster and they have been. completely unsuccessful as anybody could possibly be and. so i don't see them being able to stop here to be a currency either which leads me to the observation that

since there is no middle. there is nobody giving permission. when i'm buying a bottle of water with a credit card somewhere in the background is a bank giving me permission to buy a bottle of water with a credit card and that is a horrifying thought because that means that the bank can also deny me permission to buy a bottle of water. nobody thinks of this but it's there with bitcoin this is not true there is nobody needing to give permission in the background there is nobody who gets to say no to a transaction no money can be forced no money can be seized and here's the big problem for governments in the future taxes can no longer be forced i get all the three points that. you. said like before you said it's traceable with want to cry we know where the ransom money is

going but the accounts themselves are anonymous but if we know that there is an account with ransom money extorted from ordinary users and it should we have the ability to freeze an account take it back no why should you i mean this is either you know that here you are working on a new invention a beautiful convenient currency and people use it to pay for child pornography or to order a hit in someone actually they use the u.s. dollar for that yet i never heard somebody arguing against the existence of the u.s. dollar without argument if you're going after drugs trade then the u.s. dollar is unparalleled in use and i never heard that being used as an argument against the u.s. dollar well the complete implementation of cryptocurrency make compulsory and impossible what happens to really live governments then like with what will be coined make them is a little interesting oh is that what you hope and isn't it interesting i don't i

don't i can predict that the changes we're about to see are so profound. when you can no longer just go in and take somebody's money but the worst you can do as a government is to make them sorry for not giving you giving them your money you cannot force it you cannot seize it the changes that is going to bring are so profound to society. we are going to see a lot of governments panicking when they realize they can no longer just sees whatever money they want will take a short break right now and when we're back we'll continue discussing what's behind the meteoric rise of bitcoin with break their father founder of the swedish pirate party and cryptocurrency evangelist stay with us.

join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you. first. of all those. don't go to you on the list for us thanks. so much i must. tell you.

that. the school you. ate today due to leave it to most. of the sheen you know well i was very. neutral wolf. blitzer. but they were in the. fortunate in that one of the losing last year when we broke. the law.

and we're back with rick fox we may have found her of the swedish pirate party and cryptocurrency evangelist discussing the future of bitcoin welcome back rick now do you think that governments can come up with its own words and block change currency make it traceable registered and insured or not really ever evades taxes or fines or heights their profits i know banks are trying to citigroup for instance is definitely doing it right now. there are governments trying there are banks trying there was this sort of mantra or cliched last year on year before last it's not about bitcoin it's about the under lying innovation of bitcoin called the block chain which is a solution to a really really really hard problem as in essentially how do you make sure that a lot of people are agreeing on everybody's account balances. because there's

obviously an interest in somebody saying that no i have more money and everybody else needs not agree with that governments and banks don't really think in this way banks think that they can start a block change technology and then issue more money down the road governments think that they can start a block chain currency and issue more money down the road but the whole point of a block change technology is that you are trusting in the mathematics and not in the issuer in this way the block chain a block chain currency versus a central bank currency is a lot like open source software versus proprietary software like apple macro s. or microsoft windows it took thirty years but in the end pretty much every single computer web server is running an open operating system. in the

same way i predict that we'll go from proprietary money to open money permission less money like that coin. now because if it is if say they crypto currency will eventually replace all regular occurrences become the world's only money but can't print to currency is really work for everyone in the world i mean internet connection isn't a permanent thing people in a sri lankan jungle aren't online all the time for instance than half of african people don't even know what a cell phone is to go online hundred years ago we asked but what what about the places there aren't electricity how will you use an electrical engine then today there is electricity in most places and where there isn't an atrocity there are batteries there are some specialized cases when you go camping when you go hiking when you go survival training you don't have electricity or internet the way

you take for granted but overall i don't see it as a long term concern. you won't have access to the internet because we are just as we speak there's a network of satellites being put the internet in every spot on the globe. atop the reach of banks tragedies current monetary system is too unstable and prone to high inflation at its student to fail well cryptocurrency fill in the vacuum if that is so i mean how will it change. i think you're spot on there the european central bank is printing used to print eighty billion euros per month just propping up a gigantic bubble happening right now it doesn't do that anymore it just prints sixty billion euros per month in the us federal or service printing trillions of dollars and faith in the money supply we know how this ends once

a government starts printing money to pay off its own debt the story doesn't have a happy ending anymore it just doesn't history is brutal on this point so cryptocurrency doesn't really need to replace the us dollar replace the euro it just needs to survive while those behemoths collapse under their own weight and that when it happens it's going to go fast so well they widespread use of cryptic currency while promising a new level of liberty actually discriminate older generations i mean they won't be easy for older folks to get used to this complicated their usual stuff right well it does a man stand it isn't it is complicated it is too complicated it is it is not usable enough it is not usable enough at all and i agree that this has

always been something of a problem in the nineteen twenties when households were electrified there was a training curve where older folks were being shut out from all these new electrical appliances because they had to really learn so much when computers arrived it was the same thing when smartphones arrived it was the same thing there's always a problem where a younger generation needs to take responsibility for if you like introducing the elders to the ongoing changes of society. fortunately there is a you there's usually somebody in every family who does that but the concern is absolutely valid and the first time because i was used to pay for a real service it cost a user ten thousand coins to get into pieces now you guys were seven variants of dollars right i mean thirty five million dollars per pizza i wonder if that mare really wishes it cooked at home cash is backed by theoretically gold or the

government's ability to pay debts where did all this in say values come from been calling what's backing a bitcoin like any commodity it has value because of two simple characteristics it is useful and it is scars meaning that there is not an infinite supply of it it is useful because i can use it to transfer value to malaysia on a sunday without anybody interfering with to try transmission it's finite because there is only ever going to be about twenty one million bitcoins. those two things make it valuable not that it's backed by a government because it isn't. you know there remain that way it's kind of like gold. there's been many cases of coin set with this later latest.

setback a case of stealing tens of millions of dollars worth of bitcoins is not really save to keep your mess and say i mean considering that the hype about its rising value surely attracts hackers like flies to honey is bitcoin has the problem i mean it's really hard to store your bitcoin securely it is a really hard problem that has not been solved some of the best solutions involved specialized hardware the that you keep on your wrist some some of the solutions involve opening up a laptop and taking out the wifey circuits making sure it cannot ever connect to the internet as o.b. infiltrate from the outside this is hard today but it is going to become usable these are really hard problems and everybody in this community knows that who ever solves it first is going to become. rich as in. say the rich and so there is a lot of money being thrown out that's

a good incentive to sick to the big business isn't it but you know what it's not just the hackers that have a problem there was a famous case of a wire at error for getting the pin code from his big con wallet and using the hackers and it won a hypnotist to retrieve it. i know it sounds funny but isn't it a little harsh on people i mean how can it's so is it to lose access to something oh it can happen to my wallet or bank account. it absolutely can happen to your bank account as the people in cyprus when their bank accounts were when they bank savings were confiscated to bail out the government the government's bank. and the people in say argentina or for that matter any person in south america how safe their bank holdings are they're not they're just not ok maybe it wasn't a good example but the whole bank business is still really tied to whatever crisis is going in the country but you're saying that manage

a big coin is that it is not tied to anything that's going around it in the world right so how come it's so easy to access to it something that your own chances are you know getting a pin code just by forgetting a pin code. it is it is data it is data if you can think of it as a file if you like if that file gets into somebody else's hands then you lose your money if the hard drive with the file on it gets destroyed or corrupted or just dies then you lose your money which is why this problem is so hard. which is also why a lot of people are working on it but bitcoin and the currencies are just in their infancy this problem is be going to get solved just like every single technical problem before it that had so much promise but hadn't yet hit usability we were there was streaming video before for ten years before you tube it in twenty zero

six we were there with blogging for ten years before wordpress and typepad hit we were there for about ten years with file sharing before napster it in one thousand nine hundred nine these things take about ten years before somebody hits the right usability key remember this is a technology that was devised in twenty nine it's possible that if we were looking at a possible mainstream breakthrough around twenty nineteen ten years from then. that the company founding the company who makes this breakthrough has not even been founded yet. great for all the talk of being an internet freedom banner but can't isn't entirely independent for instance the web mention the sea where the us police has recently sees accounts of its clients and arrested one of its founders so pressure can be put on cryptocurrency camry absolute to heel they can be

can be it can be you cannot point a gun at a computer to get to make it give up its secrets but you can point a gun at the computer's owner and make them very sorry for not giving up that file inside the computer but this. difference that might seem very small has profound effects because it means that governments can no longer just walk in and seize money to pay people's taxes people have to actually agree with paying taxes and that in itself is going to be profound when governments realize this. rhetoric thank you very much for this interesting insight for this interview we're talking to rick seaney of c.e.o. of pick calling cash founder of this what pirate party and cryptic currency evangelist is causing big coin in the future of finance that's it for this edition of.

america was never great was founded on the rapes and the murders. nothing changed

so we said in. response to these situations that we do in the ways. people get sad every day she is just sad people kill each other blood for killing children. there was just no way that people were going to just sit back and allow children to see and shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this this can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i have to ride like this is the reason. my brother could be that scared it from my

mouth the whole of south east. that. all of us. are moving toward a sure don't get all so document on the first date in. boston was born on august eighth two thousand and eight the danger which is sort of a war against some of the sensor residential areas was shown by how the system grant multiple rocket launches. it was how georgia tried to regain control of the rebellious republic. we were here at the height of that war and we've returned after ten years we'll meet people whose stories we're told and we'll learn how their lives changed.

just to my how my cost them outside the house. kill also. story. i mean that's the. you got of this the power. that the state. just look at which in the village. is the movies the doors to it's up to the stuffs. the seals trustable of steel leave study in motion will produce in the.

paris. now that is a dunedin and. past one on top of things to. grow it is a curious will. this will. close the local their offices. are enough to confuse those trees and literally liver disease free in where you militias go you know where it is that there are blood. there just in the here. it. is natural so lets. loose your earth is your.

this. solution. martin luther. because. you in my quest to. see me with such little sister in this. earth who. it wasn't the first military conflict between georgia and south ossetia things started to heat up in the late one nine hundred eighty s.

the soviet union was falling apart and the republics were striving for the right to self-determination the nationalists even came up with the slogan georgia is for georgians schools were forbidden to teach in the a certain language south the city rebelled declared independence and war broke out . in one thousand nine hundred two the warring parties signed a peace accord but failed to come to an agreement russia brokered the peace talks since then russian peace makers have been helping to keep order i asked god how far. more of. the snow sleet. dumped on the bunkers one of you

losing your. job. in two thousand and eight maya best diavolo worked as a nurse at the russian peacekeepers base is stored in the way of the georgian army . the base came under massive shelling from the georgians for many hours. for always there was the. quality of a machine and. fearful logical. of this silly reason. if those physically say it three to six in the. sewer scorns. resists the hope of the theory and the for the supports he will do the false will the spiritual school earth in. movable it will be a research. discovery so. my

. new role. was tickled. was the next three. doing at the top of our new regions to three civil. the king of. i mean you really just do this for you know. mio was also seriously injured she was unaware that reinforcements were fighting their way through to the peacekeepers and that's how son was with the military. he would run into an ambush near the peacekeepers base and be badly wounded. the peacekeepers couldn't hold the georgian troops bank for too long and by the afternoon of august the eighth georgian turning said already entered.

the. closing meaning. all of. those. women when he was nine his house was hit by a shell which caused the walls to fall down and the roof to cave in the left shoulder. says should. get out of. this but only the bushes are. filling. the bowling green one. village came under shelling for a few days. after the war there were no houses left on damage here. that

was good to go to see down the street. just amongst. those digital police are very. softly said what i thought. i was. going to lose is this for you grow older sister all of it and you fall faster. going faster most of us. catch us trusting promoted to me first. it's the kids still going to play at a place that was once their home even though a new house was built for their family. well as additional to offer you support from us truly just a three month usually school bus through them. jim.

says one and his parents managed to flee the village just in time and avoided the oncoming georgian army they didn't know the road was under the control of georgian troops. coming out of the south past the end of the could. not trash full swan in a flock of muskrat difference to the. thousands of civilians flint to russia but not everybody managed to get their own homes many were killed on the way. in this way incapable of defending themselves on their own against the will to train georgian army people died in skin. the peacekeepers were surrounded and couldn't help. russian the with the operation to foresee georgia peace the military

were fighting their way through to relieve. their jewish interest in the us from the claimed russia to tank georgia my country is in self-defense against russian aggression russian russian troops invaded georgia they've been bombing georgia numerous warplanes and specifically targeting civilian population and did you take a gamble your government launched its own attempt to retake so sasha we didn't that . we didn't. have the morning of the eights my wife calls me and says that they bombed a couple hundred meters away from her mother's house and i remember. i was actually crying and afraid and thinking that if anything happens to my family i'm going to kill saakashvili. and i meant that we met jim mistress ten years ago he's an american who lives in florida his wife john is

a sense young in august two thousand and eight she and her daughter were on holiday at his parents' place in south ossetia so so it's got nothing this is in southeast even a specific good devolution on the rest of the bullet actually it would. be enough. fish the layer. of social this is that he said this. side surely says. george. later you find out through the european commission that in fact it was georgia that the said it was not a fear of the mainstream media they reported that russia started the conflict and said nothing about soccer surely opening fire on the night of the beginning of the olympics in beijing i talked to many people i've posted many things on the internet

and letting people know the truth about what really happened now i. am very careful means if i'm wrapping up accounts and rein too much and in my own bribes prove rand maybe it's air security. and armor much of it but i know that i wouldn't want to sleep alone there's this one window in my room they sleep in there was like a crack in them but i would i would remember oh that's from the war sander was afraid she was saying you know she was afraid that the suction really was going to be there and he was in the soldiers after us every year when we went back for several years she had those feelings. couple years after the war i believe that eventually other countries would learn to recognize that georgia was at fault in this war especially after the european

commission came out and said that georgia started the war. i thought for sure that other countries would follow suit with russia to recognize the independence of south said and i was very disappointed that they did. anyone else chose seemed wrong. but old bulls just don't call. me old yet to see how this day comes to educate and in detroit it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. by. 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 a graphic solution so what the bishop needs to do then he finds out that the priest is is a perfect or it 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 so send it out and if that's known as the i intend then i think you'll hear about it tuesday's out in the. sun. this. is faith.

i. i think i think something about. that. people have to understand that when you're attacked in so many crimes and brutally attacked and people murdered how can you expect a republic to go back to those people over law which. you can't. just i'm fresh out of the stamps on that this ain't no more system and i think of class not. among the holiday home those damn moshiach comes

down to the hum of the title to the moment. we get in the normal. first system the people throw money. own vote this time. if you want to rule the. more you know this is the day or so when she wrote all change i thought. and i forgot all cormac i got it down only for you know you don't know forty i'm sure you know you can no. longer watch sadistic lisette at all tell me no one to my boss the most you know bullshit jimmy smith oh my i just stand there you know if you're going to go north or if you. go off a bit on your. toes to go to war no matter. how sharp as soon as it. sort of carry on luggage of our own

to give does the payee decide it was better to settle the cheap back can't get to don't stuff. still resist somebody who. does here a later related what happened son had found out that his parents had been captured and he came to rescue. them. it took the russian army a few days to force the georgians to retreat many georgians who had been living in a city or left for georgia with the military. resolution as is true. the most we will not hold are going to resist is really. really going to lead to this are very. costly when you are nice and. we really very sorry damo. especially versus us.

is to go through. syria vonnie in georgia was billed as a special refugee settlement for those who came from south or set a year cookie cutter houses accommodate two thousand people most center of only resistance referred to south asia as off by territory for them it's georgian land. elnora fled to georgia with her children her house was burned down so she's got nowhere to go back to elnora's granddaughter was born in sara vonnie she's never been to south or setia and only heard about it from her grandma. guys who two years of work on the town i thought is good to out well i. thought i'd gone or the hotel the merry go round or

a soft. maunder diet i was up there local was. i saw right have the ads down catron mom my dad the. salvos dad just died down after our. last call and the more mocked us in my social diary literates gone i sat on my normal retirement work which was guarded attitude. and they are achieving area down i should have a market around mentality i saw it was a country do over toys correlatives that bed net well in the last men who seek you will see here opportunity says i need it all gone i regard it as a duo that's gone and i'm sure they were going to double double never will not and just as legit transmitters a tragic mound as that is secretarial circuit or suites as

a car so carter is horrid and most of you are no doubt going to hold a lot of your little rosy moderate oriana secretary was so larry. but ago it was to be no longer a star thing going to. be by the nation are a little bit you know with nothing on which i got there. i was more than i missed most. of. the construction of this fence between georgia and south the sense here started straight after the war however the border line hasn't been fully fenced. for russian border guards to be stationed along the border to help with security. just . you know show. that.

there is no thought of big arc we no. longer need some. of. the border lines were defined by rather old maps which just didn't reflect current reality in the border called the village and so some of the inhabitants remained in south ossetia while twenty two people found themselves living in no man's land. since then they've been living between two checkpoints they're not allowed into georgia and they need a special pass to enter south of. this border checkpoint has been set up specially

for them. off which is rage. with the shoes this is the. this was less school to both exist vision is them to school with. their own nests. says the rules of the sea food. the nuns good seeing you blue sky. full tilt. peoples. a little. there's a view on me. being the. fullest. must see. i need to see yes. i see. done

the moment when you. need me round up and i see. those stranded in no man's land have been promised that they'll be allocated new houses and be moved to south essentially. that promise was given the six years ago when the fence was built. eighty percent of the buildings in skin vault were destroyed during the war. and school was also badly damaged ten years ago it seemed to us the to be impossible to rebuild the place. that.

followed. so when. question. too much it was just pulled into the losses school system in. the region no move to a special school. but this. last. trip. to most british. troops some soon. will bust in the really. loose issue. such.

center has really changed. most of the buildings were reconstructed the. many were torn down and rebuilt from scratch. russia helped to rebuild the destroyed republic and was the first nation to recognize independence. russia now helps to keep the peace. a military base was built in skin involved. in the medical corps. and i mean it's you know i mean.

probably fulfilling. the. thing. for the most of us you know. but the group will scoop. when sharon or was hiding with her son in the basement of a maternity home the georgian army entered her village. children as husband went off to fight and her parents were left alone in their house as well as this time i would guess she has come over for some messages very gracious birdman room full of

israeli warplanes are injuring eighteen people in response to palestinian rocket fire. saudi air strike hits a school bus in yemen killing forty civilians mostly children saudi coalition planes it was a legitimate operation. russia condemns the latest u.s. sanctions imposed over moscow's alleged role in the poisoning of double agent sergei screwball and his daughter in the u.k. . this time for the latest on these stories head to our t.v. dot com that does it for me but coming up in about an hour's time my colleague kevin own will be here with news for right now stay with us for the financial news

and the kind. 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 frame well let's see i've. seen that kind of excitement everywhere. anyway thanks 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 what's right. is a guy i remember george w. these talk america and they go 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 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 if you 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 gives so i'm 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 is 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 song told me i'm going to see jimmy song i'm going to have it 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 keiser 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 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 answer 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 could be living in your poop o.b.l. in the next morning hours he'll make another you know billion dollars and life is great in america so you know this 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 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 it's like getting their physiological needs met julian assange over there that was i don't remember city 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 massless 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 elite 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 are no logical need is being exploited by the corporation and 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 palestinians 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. when is that i mean this well 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 all people had to go on for hundreds of years you know during the whole history of philosophy well now act a little trick and 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 house. olds have much greater wealth in child households which is to be expected because all their households have had more time to accumulate wealth the trouble lies in the growing gap between the two types of households in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine elderly households had a median net worth that was approximately three point eight times that of child

households i households with children under eighteen by twenty thirteen their median net worth was now twelve and a half times as high as those with children under eighteen in the house whenever a situation or approaching me for pennies and nickels like scoot get out of here you go where you poor children. the baby boomers are not given any away but anyway that point is that they it was only natural the baby boomers were vote for policies that help them i house price booms of stock price things and disenfranchised the bottom you know age groups but this is a deal and tough luck buddy get a job kids get a job we're going to take a break for the second half go what. anyone

else seems wrong. why don't we all just don't hold. any world yet to see. this day come after. and it again it was betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart when chips of the common ground. welcome back to the kaiser report imax kaiser let's go to boulder colorado and speak with michael krieger of liberty let's create a dot com michael welcome back hello max it's great to be back on with you all rather than colorado home of the resistance you know putting up billboards for the

g.o.p. the zero is a place with a hammer and sickle like a big red billboard the red scare is michael here in colorado what's happening you know i saw i saw that headline i just checked real quick as you were it was it's in parents out in grand junction and i'm not sure who's responsible for the grand junction is really far away it's all the way in the western part of the state i'm not really even familiar with the area so much was not like it was in denver or boulder or anything like that yeah it's just you know it's this is russia gate it's a pretty it's a weapon that's all it's just a weapon of the establishment that they're trying to they're trying to use to keep their power and their relevance that it needs it's such an obvious scam i don't even know how anyone falls for it but hey that's the environment we're in properly not enough people are falling for it because trump's ratings are through the roof on the upside and the democrats are putting together any kind of opposition whatsoever now what does underline this political doraine threat michael kraig or it cable news ratings driven we've made that point on the show before is it just

a part of natural of saturday that befalls the ruling class during a disintegration of empire. wow if you would where would you put this sure ratings is is something that you know keeps it alive for sure but i definitely don't think that's the driver i think your second your second assessment is absolutely you know it's the nail on the head that's exactly what it is that's all it is needs to be seen in the context of a lot of different things but primarily essentially empire right an imperial system that has been had that has been run for decades now by donors and corrupt politicians and bureau. kratz that have completely destroyed the country allocated all of the wealth and resources to a tinier and tinier sliver of the population and that created a lot of animosity and then the financial you know crisis and bailouts and how that was all handled was the final straw and so you know as i'm aware as i've said forever a lot of people that voted for trump don't really like trump it was just a middle finger it was just a way to say you know what let's just let's just try something new even though this

might be crazy and i'm not even sure it'll work out anything's better than the status quo anything's better than hillary and then you know the trump derangement syndrome in russia gate is just a way for people in power or that were previously respected quote unquote to continue to be respected in power and the reason you know that's all it is the one the final proof beyond everything else in my opinion is the fact that you have neo cons and establishment democrats like rachel maddow joined at the hip now you know at these max boots bill crystal's david frum's like they're they're the resistance heroes now or as some like to call the assistants which i think is better so so that's what it is and it's crazy because you look at the it's the biggest failures in american history coming together and talking about russia twenty four seven to try to root to continue to meet the relevance like and it's like cancer and herpes you know coming together and getting on m.s. n.b.c. with the you know tumors and sores and telling you come to us come to us will save

you from putin it's pathetic wow that's not a pretty picture. you mentioned bill kristol there and it is amusing that for a long time he has vilified as a warmonger or a bloody bill kristol all by the left and then because they need a an assassin because they need someone with no moral or ethics at all the left to size to bring them up and say well here's our guy him on here we know he's dangerous. have no comp moral compass whatsoever now your latest blog post reads quote us. tech giants are too big too powerful and now are running into serious trouble we have google being evil in china we've got facebook banning america anti-fascist activist and calling them russians ok what's going on is to work out a loss if all the stuff what's going on sure and you know i've been to a huge proponent of social media even though i haven't liked facebook for a long time i've been able to see that for the most part let's just take facebook

and twitter they have been reasonably neutral i mean they've been getting worse over the last few years particularly after trump won but they have been platforms and people have across the but you know the sort of the you know the digital public square and so people throughout you know society have been able to say whatever they want on these platforms and again trump winning is what changed everything as far as politicians view of these platforms because now they realize that oh no when the rabble is allowed to talk to each other and say whatever they want we lose control of the narrative and then we can install whatever presidential puppet we want and so that's a total freak out and and so now you're dealing with a combination of two things with these tech giants one they're so enormous they're almost like governments in themselves and then to these plot clips facebook in particular and twitter are platforms that allowed people to make decisions on current events on their own and politicians are now very upset about that so

they're just going to start saying everything that is not a mainstream media approved talking point is somehow linked to russia and as you mentioned these activists in d.c. had their had their page removed by facebook these are american citizens because facebook decided to they wanted to appease politicians and call it linked to russia they darkens back to recall the arab spring that was called the facebook revolution of people around the state barack was overthrown. with an error so the u.s. came back in a re-install to barack basically. along those lines so that was a clear indication that this whole democratization of communication and the democracy spreading from the lawyers of american entrepreneurial is a was fake news that was a fake story but i just focused for a second on it touched on it there. the facebook banning these anti-fascists

so there were fastest there were neo nazis on facebook and then a group of merged to confront the nazis and facebook banned the nazis banned the anti nazis and then. maddog picked up the story as if somehow this is tied into russia right so may stream media echoing a blatant miscarriage of speech in the name of a hoax call russia gate. tell us tell us a good good if you want to comment on the so two points on first of all if you look at what facebook did the other day right with banning these thirty two pages or so across their platforms nay said specifically we cannot link these to russia that's what they set and then of course mark warner you know who's this big russia gator democrat from virginia senator he comes out and says see this is proof that the kremlin is continuing to meddle with our democracy yet facebook themselves said they couldn't tie it to russia so that's what happens is something you know

facebook gives them a little bit of a breadcrumb and then they start making up stories linking it to russia it's absolute madness but here's where also gets interesting in that piece that you referred to in his moto you know these activists were trying to figure out well what makes you think these things are suspicious and apparently it has to do with people running these pages using v p n's or two or and then the question was asked the facebook well is that what you're saying if someone uses a v.p.n. or tor that they're automatically you know have to be russian and facebook wouldn't respond they wouldn't give any other reasons that they thought it was suspicious so it's a really it's a really sketchy time we live in now we're facebook is under tremendous political pressure to find what politicians want them to find and in the process you know if you activists get steamrolled and we get less free speech who cares right that story that came out this week about air marshals on flights who are now following people off the plane they they anticipate will they have no reason to suspect them

but they're just following them as part of the expansion of the surveillance state and the definition of perhaps of why they did follow them what may well they look funny they look they're agitated so now i've got a secret police force of america following people without notification and. who is benefiting by all this michael fare yeah there you go right so it's the quiet skies program that the boston globe yeah so i mean it's crazy you read about this and a good thing and only good news is that a lot of this is. coming out because employees of the federal air marshal program are are are doing this job does work and they're saying i'm solve this is crazy why are we doing this we're spying on other citizens in one case i don't know if you if you saw this but they were tracking is southwest airlines up flight attendant and they're just like what are we doing so it's become so surge now that at least some of the people being paid to spy on the phone citizens are saying this is crazy i don't want to do this anymore but you make the bigger point which is that it's all about social control if you look at the trends in america and it continues to this

day the overarching corporate government established it is obsessed with keeping the citizenry in line keeping them scared keeping them surveilled making sure that they can't you know get out of this overton window of conversation you know as chomsky said the best the best way to keep people acid in obedient is to allow lively debate debate within a very narrow range of issues but not outside of those issues and that's essentially what facebook is now trying to do to the american public yeah i noticed that you can see it you know just anecdotally in america's humor the late night comics and things like this they're they're not funny anymore that they actually get up when they do tragedy or there is a case of a woman who switched from doing standup comedy to stand up tragedy it now and the one thing about in out not to germany for example is that there wasn't a lot of stand up comedy at that dinner and you know in berlin during those years

you know that this is what happens when people lose their soul and lose their. perspective on life they become days humorless drones working for the surveillance state and you can sit in the complete lack of humor in stephen called bear or jimmy fallon have now become just puppets far the state sadly now tell us more about google being evil in china yes so this is another really interesting thing where eyes i mentioned with the federal air marshals some of them are rebelling you know google has had. bit of a saga recently where their executives in particular are very aggressively pushing closer collaboration with government so if you recall project me even is the drone program that google has it has with the pentagon and the actually a lot of google employees resigned publicly because they were so disgusted with google doing that and there was a huge protest within google from from other employees and google actually at the backtrack but what you saw from leaked e-mails is that google executives were

wanted to do it you know they were trying to you know basically propagandized their employees to say it was ok so the exit where you see now is an interesting split between some ethical google employees and google executives who have absolutely no morals whatsoever and the recent push broken by the story was broke by the intercept yesterday is to go specifically create an app in china a google app that will will and here to every single censorship request the chart or terry in chinese government wants banning any searches related to human rights democracy free speech tiananmen square images will be blocked so my point was essentially if google goes through with this google will be directly helping an authoritarian foreign government maintain its grip on power for money that's a big big deal and people need to be aware that's very disturbing right we have thirty seconds left can you talk about jeff bezos areas one hundred fifty billion made fifty billion just over the past few erle what's wrong with this is good or

bad like ok or yeah i mean i think i think that the days o's and amazon are one of the biggest threats we actually face right now in this country because if you read some of the literature on what they're trying to do they're not just trying to sell you stuff on the internet they're trying to control commerce completely by controlling the platforms of commerce and of course in china they have a new social scar it's like a root it movies and backs for people so if you look at sideways at a. policeman you can't get on an airplane anyway michael krieger. such talk full of goodies we're going to keep you on for a second segment if that's ok with you sounds wonderful ok that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser stacy or me want to thank our guest michael trager catch us on twitter as kaiser report that's it for now i.

think. most people think to stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand down this is just the dance the right questions and demand the right answer. questions.

welcome to worlds apart cuba is one of those countries that's long been perceived and described in terms of ideological opposites known in the years to star and later russia as the freedom island that shout the chains of capitalism it has long been seen in the west as one big treason ruled with an iron fist but when you've spent almost half a century documenting the lives of its people as my guest today has done you'll find that the reality is different from the ideally core ideological cliches one is cuba really like well to discuss that i'm now joined by john alpert the american journalist and documentary filmmaker mr alter it's good to see you in our studio i think you're much for coming thanks for inviting me i appreciate it now you're here in russia to promote a documentary called cuba and the cameramen reach i think is a very straightforward and

a very honest title because you really show cuba as you've experienced it over what is it forty five forty five years on the film and i think this is very unusual for a western or american journalist because most of them believe that you need to cover stories from the position of either neutral observer and so often from a position of judgement rather than experience or emotion of why did you break that tradition i wanted american people to really experience what the cuban revolution was like and it's complicated and i don't think you can understand this ninety second news report i don't think you can understand it in twenty ninety second news reports i spent forty five years following three families and see the castro when you watch the revolution and you watch these people. age and you learn a lot about cuba and i think it is also very obvious in your film that this kind of emotional involvement that you develop with your character is also allowed you not

so not only gain trust but actually gain unprecedented access to some of them including fidel castro you go the extra mile to show him as a human being rather you know historical figure the way you show came is that really how you remembered him. that's the way i remember him fredo trusted me. and with you he considered me to be a friend and. took the risk. in my camera into places it had never been before into his bedroom into his kitchen. taking his shirt off for me showing that he is not wearing a bullet hole but is this it's a feel that nobody had ever seen even the cubans have never seen a feel like this before but i've seen some reviews especially in the american press and they were very very critical of. the reviews that i saw i saw there were about three weeks after the really right wing people who obviously i don't think it even

seen the film decided they didn't like it but up to that particular point of resetting the review was positive positive positive well but i think the accusation of the claim that some of the review writers made was that you were. way too friendly and not critical enough but how did you i was there some very very critical moments in this film special period in cuba when the economy collapsed when the soviet union fell. and they withdrew their support in cuba the negative impact on the cuban economy was like an eighty five percent contraction of their economy no electricity no transportation food shortages and because the people trusted me the people who are suffering i film things that the cuban people never filmed and that nobody else is filmed and so. the road reviews that i saw understood that. more gratifying was it and i still get them today the hundreds and hundreds of e-mails from all over the world especially from

cubans and because i think you cheated them really as a human being rather than you know a foreign they're coming into their country and passing judgments about how flawed various systems really is and i think this is what many people experience with western journalists including in this country when somebody comes to your house to your country as flawed as it may be and tells you you know how flawed do you really are and i tried really hard to be honest. the. most gratification i get is when the cuban say that when their children ask them these are pro castro nandy castro when their kids say mommy daddy what was the revolution like they're going to take my film out and show them my film now it's like to quote this famous saying by a british historian lord acton that tower corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely and i'm not sure you would put it in quite those terms but. i think being in power for so long as fidel has been in power and being hunted for so long

because i think he survived more than or around six hundred assess a nation at times that would change your personality have you noticed any character changes in him over time well i think i was the last journalist. the last american to be with fidel before he died. and he was always very open and friendly with me i think in terms of his relationship to the united states. he needed a strong defensive posture because the aggression focused on him was really really very severe i think it hurt the revolution i think that the revolution needed to be more flexible and he to be more flexible with the human rights that needed to be more flexible economically. and. to some degree pushed into inflexible position that he didn't come out of you saying it was a matter of. personalities aging or was because of the pressure that his

country was subjected to i think it's both. i think it's very very important to have a very very strong feedback loop when he was young was all over the island he was playing baseball with everybody. you know he certainly couldn't do that towards the end. but every country needs to be corrected my country really needs to be corrected and you know that's the that's our work that's the work of us reporters some people say we're not patriotic. i would like to say that maybe that's quite a high form of patriotism when you point out the things that are wrong with your country because you want your country to be better well i agree with you but i think it also depends on how you say it because i think sometimes and that's my personal issue but the american journalism and american or western criticism in general is that sometimes critical things being said to put people in countries

down the rod to. show them deficiencies in their systems and i heard you say in some of the other interviews that you believe that. cuba was never really given a fair chance to run its social experiment to the fullest do you still believe that i sure would have liked to have seen that happen you know when the revolution began free health care free school housing guaranteed jobs literacy campaigns that taught everybody how to remove the we were fighting for these things in the united states at that time and the fact they were going on in cuba was very very exciting. but there was always so much tremendous pressure economically politically and militarily against the regime you know what about let the cubans experiment so we don't have to try this if it doesn't work we can look down there and all gosh it didn't work in cuba let's forget about having universal health care . but they never had the chance the problems with the communist systems in general

is that while they are striving for bigger things they tend to forget about the little comforts of life and i think you put it well in one of your interviews when he said that it's good to have free education and free healthcare it's also nice to have a hot shower shower in the morning if cuba hadn't been pressured so much if it hadn't been sanctioned so much do you think they would have figured out how to provide both to their population you know that they had internal debates they were about the economy and sort of the individual is a i don't think they were resolved i think is one of the reasons why che guevara left the country because he was in conflict with some of the other people that have more power internally and the tragedies will never never know cuba is now in the process of having a piss full transition of power and the united states department of state has already described it in pretty derogatory terms they say well they said it wasn't

freedom wasn't fair it was dictatorial in nature. they also believe that this is not really a change of power after all and you know just a change of a figure had but. there's no way of knowing what i'm going to ask you at this point of time. they were in their way of making it an educated guess but i'm going to ask you still. how do you think the relationship it's been transamerica and cuba on to this new president is going to develop over the next few years how do you see it i would like to see it continue on the path to normalization that was started in the previous administration i think it was healthy look at the block. caden the animosity for fifty almost sixty years did it change the regime in cuba no it was a completely unsuccessful policy if you got in your car to go see your. every day in your turn to key in the car doesn't go any place when you get in that same car every day for fifty years no you go to the metro you take some other route to this

the united states had a talk about cuba's and flexibility we had a really inflexible policy too there was totally unsuccessful cos a lot of suffering on the united states can afford to be inflexible when it comes to little neighbor now and then miles there's no point. that's going. to the retrogressive miami community that is every day more and more a minority unfortunately that back and forth again the last administration realize that the majority of cuban americans want to normalization the normalised and when you normalize you can talk. and i want to tell you from my experience in cuba when the united states use sugar instead of a hammer things change in cuba in the way that the united states wanted them were like i can't go backwards fast enough in the year to show you what what what's going on in cuba now. it seems that in order to protect

lection prospects in florida there is a little bit of a game that's being played with the very very very reactionary cubans who are disrespected more and more every day by the cuban community i've seen some western commentators compare this new president make l.g.'s now to now gorbachev and i know that you visited the soviet union during its reformist years of glasnost and perestroika reach as inspiring as they may be now in hindsight it ultimately led to the collapse of not only the system to the soviet system but also the collapse of the country do you think that's likely a likely scenario for cuba if the new president indeed pursues the reform agenda or if he doesn't so that was a question that i was asking myself and i was very very curious because of the half a century that i spent in cuba because of my love for the cuban people i wanted to observe this firsthand but i didn't want to preserve it from the back of the pack

and so i had. asked the cuban government to allow me to come inside as they were making their deliberations as they were passing the power in to observe this basically like a fly. and. they didn't answer me i had the choice to be in cuba or be here in moscow for some very important thing this past week and i chose to come here to moscow instead of going to cuba well we are very happy it's you're welcome here in this country but for the time being we have to take a very short break we'll be back in just a few moments stay tuned. we

have no idea what's a fuse doing on vacation but she will be back on it in september.

welcome back to worlds apart with jon alpert the american journalist and documentary filmmaker mr alfred just before the break you were saying that you had a choice of either going to cuba or coming to moscow and each owes most to and i know that you have something under the table to show as i do have something i have my my my props here and you see this yeah and i can see the name of a legendary russian hockey player just last fifty seven days why do you have it if you look at this and obviously we have your name here as well so so so when i was growing up i didn't want to be a journalist i can tell you how i became a journalist but it was completely accidental my dream was to be a hockey player. but my reality was that i still don't get i wasn't good enough. i

was always very enthusiastic but on town that hockey player but my friend. i'm working with on a number of projects one is the first and last hockey game ever on the north pole can you skate really room and you got here because next year around this time is basically to call attention to environmental crisis of the north pole. and also this sort of political tensions the arctic countries the vatican. there's one more can remember what it is they're all getting together. i usually do political journalism and i think. right off the bat i can say that this is unfair and usually experience to have russians and americans doing anything constructive because from my experience they only bigger but it's good that you guys can do something in the in the current environment and i think so and you've been to war and. i think. because of our shared experience and because i'm looking in your

eyes i can tell that. when when you go to war as a reporter there's something that happens inside you and it changes you as a person and it compels you more or less for the rest of your life to look for other ways to resolve issues you visited a number of four zones but did the one that you remember the most would be your coverage of the first gulf war for which you were actually fired from the sea. it was clearly and correct me if i'm wrong you were specifically fired because you fell and it's a billion death toll inflicted by the americans that was clearly an act of censorship but i think from my experience at least censorship in different come countries. realize in different patterns have you figured out how it works in the united states. you know it it's affected me in different ways i've had

the misfortune of being blacklisted twice i was blacklisted for public television not for war coverage but for a documentary about health care because the documentary pointed the finger at the sort of greedy financial interests that were keeping americans from getting the best health care. that was it for public television. but the sort of interesting thing about the united states is that sometimes the door opens and door closes and the door open to n.b.c. and i was the only independent reporter to work for any of the coral networks i had total editorial control of my reports which is i have more editorial control than anybody here at r.t. has i think there were a number of circumstances general electric which is. a big powerful country company a company that has a lot of military industrial interests bought and b.c.

and from that moment. the gangplank was out for me but i think that i may i may be mistaken but judging from your previous interviews i think it was more specific you went to iraq you filmed the shit is that where you were not supposed to sell me you managed to smuggle it into a back into the united states in your socks you brought it to the n.b.c. executives and what did they tell you. that every time i go to the third world i make trouble for them and they're tired of it but he actually look at the footage what was the problem with your behavior over the actual material that they have here and in fact. the regular news staff was devastated by this and they had all supported me they had seen the footage and were proud that somebody from their team had gotten this despite saddam's attempts to censor me you know we had three babysitters there were three pages of rules and regulations we broke every single rule they tried to kill me on the way out of the country put

a gun to my head and spent five minutes trying to pull the trigger to kill me and i got the stuff back and everybody was proud of me and what was there what was on the there was on film i mean basically the smart bombs were not smart this was what we were being told in the united states during the war that this was the first bloodless war in history the first scientific war in history. and let me tell you when any country believes that they can make war and not hurt people they become even more dangerous and so it was it was crucial to show these reports to the american did he actually show it to the american people when they should have seen it during the war one of the tragedies of the war and it's and it's studied in journalism classes there were a number of hand wringing retrospectives about the way in which the press had not fulfilled its duty to the country during the war and they didn't well you know what's interesting to me is that americans like to use the. examples of the first and second iraqi contains as something that they regret but i think. any of those

things have been repeated recently for example the united states military has just taken over the city of. isis used to claim as its capital it was taken by a very very have the aerial bombardment. practically no building is left standing in that city there independent reports of thousands of corpses rotting under the rubble and there is still very very little if any coverage on the american networks doesn't that suggest that the system that you encountered baghdad is still in operation these days i can't talk about that because i haven't been to syria i can't talk about those reports because. i don't watch the news and when i spend my whole day doing what i'm doing i'm i don't know about you i want to watch a hockey game on t.v. i don't think i've watched. cast in twenty years. but i didn't even watch my own

reports because as soon as i finish with my own reports i was on an airplane going to the next war so i can't comment about that i thought that the way in which the press was treated during the second gulf war because i was embedded for two months in baghdad was respectful was honest and it was transparent and it was the three hundred sixty degree difference from the first gulf war first gulf war. the press was treated like a bunch of dogs in the alley you've been to numerous war zones but you decided against going to syria or for that matter to libya why is that why didn't you want to go there. i'd make a calculus. before i decide to go someplace i would like. i'm happy to take a risk happy to risk and say i'm happy but i will risk my life if i think that the report that i make is going to change something. and that's the sort of sophisticated combinations of things want to have to be able to get to where i want

to go i have to be able to operate with some degree of freedom people's minds have to be flexible enough so that if i come back and i say listen this is what i think the truth really is that the listen to me and i need an outlet and i don't have any of those conditions. when i stop working for n.b.c. i began to do documentaries and sort of let's get on the plane the bells ringing over in syria i'm going to be the first person in the front the first person back in those days i could beat anyone in the world sure you're good but i could beat you but documentaries is different and documentaries is a long slow or thoughtful process and and there are only so many places that you can show them and we basically make one documentary every two years every three years in the case of cuba to be forty five years the conditions and i felt bad you know because in order to take this risk you have to believe that there's something

about the way in which you see the world that is important for other people to know otherwise it's insanity to go to these places and you have to have that burning. burn burn inside you for so the first couple of times wars happened without me. like you had to tie me to the mast because but i didn't have any place to show it you know you weren't there but they were. a lot of coverage of both the syrian and libyan conflict and it was. very much split along the ideological lines because i could see reports of my western calling for example from libya voiced with their own this same scenario you're in the same building working at you know from the same desk but they would show something totally totally different i mean the reality that i wouldn't even recognize and i'm sure they would say the same things about my reports we are now in the age of propaganda war

a supposed truth post-fact do you think you could even adapt to this kind of working environment i did pretty pretty good in egypt so i was in the square in egypt for the revolution. it's pretty good film it played on h.b.o. we didn't win the oscar but we got on the shortlist for the oscar awards and so made a film from i don't know if you appreciate. like my type of way of doing things it was a quintessential film the way in which we do it very well received so. the opportunity still do exist and you know it's also our responsibilities as reporters to. try and be as honest as possible to not have an agenda. when there's lots of forces point us this way and points i want to it's not about having an agenda i think from what i see at least i think many western reporters they come to cuba or they come to syria with the preconceived notion of what the

country is and they do their reports from the balconies of the hotel we call them balcony buzzards a little whatever i mean. things to do more things to see where they stay the same so you know this and. the first report i ever did for n.b.c. . was the first time i'd ever been in a war zone and i was up in lang's on vietnam the chinese were on the hills shooting at anything that moved and i like a moron i'm walking down the street there with my vietnamese buddies in the church church so you know what i did. everybody else runs for cover i grab the microphone and i do with stand up because that's all it ever. existed and so i said i'm telling them what was obvious i'm here i'm lying son that people are shooting at me and my name is john alpert and i'm working for n.b.c. news i looked at that and i said you know what that's the last stand up on there

but i never i never did another one i was so ashamed of myself because all i was doing was copycatting you know they all wear the same clothes they wear the trench coats in the winter they wear the safari suits and they walk around with briefcases and punch and what the heck is in their briefcases you know what it is speak up and they spend the whole day waiting for the sun to get into the right position they've got somebody standing there with the tray to reflect them they are there on the balcony well i think so shame on them and here awards to people who go do something different and it's and it's not just american reporters seen the russian reporters i've seen people like this all over the world and there are reporters from every single country who will get dirty and will try to understand what the people are doing well. definitely and that i just. a minute left and i want to ask you perhaps a philosophical question but still i think much of the global tensions still centered around those concepts of freedom democracy tyranny development human

flourishing and what always strikes me as how differently they are interpreted in different countries what freedom means to an american is very different from what freedom means to a cuban or to a syrian or even to russian for that matter do you think difference is a genuine do you think we will average be able to drive. you know some common understanding of what freedom really. i think it's always good to have differences. but we can't let those differences separate us and what we need to do is. even even though we might look at the wall. differently we need to. walk through the world holding hands and talk to each other about our differences like we're doing here today. you know mindful of being branded as a kremlin sympathizer because i think in this day and age even appearing on this network may get you in trouble anybody who knows me knows that i've always been my own person and people have respected me for them that's why they invite me to come

back time and time again and that's why this project about the first and last hockey game at the north pole which has been indorsed by the united nations that's the other well i certainly would together and i'll teach you how to skate you want how to skate well but i'll teach you a well i will definitely try my best but in any case i hold that we can discuss your next project let's say in a year's time in this very studious thank you for being here today i invite our viewers to keep this conversation going on our social media pages as for me hope to see you again same place same time here in the worlds apart.

camera. roughly once they showed some movie you for them. to videos and someone with a broken eastern. don't t.v. .

but it was supposed to some of us the. last time we chased. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs. they just stepped right. into the very we i mean my little boy there was this. guy like me. i don't know maybe i don't get a. break right. now .

moscow said it views further tightening of u.s. sanctions on russia as the start of an economic war washington says it's stepping up the restrictions over the poisoning of the former russian double agent and his daughter in the u.k. back in march. also the headline calling elsewhere the us democratic party wants facebook to share data on members who've fallen for fake news so you can tell them what's right about social media giants are accused of censorship after banning controversial show host alex jones former come to. israel and palestine reach a tentative cease fire agreement after israel retaliates against dozens of rockets fired from the gaza strip.

and the legacy of terror coming up too we hear from families in southern russia but the desperate to contact loved ones who've been persuaded to go and fight for islamic state in syria. we'll call it it will be ok that somehow it will all be ok i just feel so sorry for the children it's so difficult when you don't know where exactly children are. good morning welcome to the program i'm kevin are you watching r t is just an a.t.m. here in moscow this friday the tenth of august first in the headlines further u.s. sanctions on russia will be viewed as the start of an economic war and russia will have to react economically and politically that russian prime minister dmitri medvedev reacted to newly announced restrictions by the u.s. they're being imposed over the poisoning of former russian double agent sergey

script of his daughter back in march which western countries have blamed on russia moscow strongly denies any involvement these new sank. it will come in two rounds the first places limits on financing and export especially on a number of national security goods and then the second wave will hit diplomatic relations as well as banking and imports and takes up the story when it comes to global disagreement sanctions that the u.s. weapon of choice as russia's number two at the u.n. put it let's us welcome the united sanctions of america well russia is being on the receiving end of plenty of them they stem from allegations of election meddling military aggression human rights abuses all cyber crimes take your pick and the latest well that's of the salt poisoning washington says it has to ten minutes that russia used a military nerve agent to attack form a double agent of power and his daughter where are you getting the conclusion that

rush is behind this creep posing i will leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding of the screen but others haven't given any evidence either just various grades of highly likely is highly likely that russia was responsible we do hold russia culpable culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder and there's been uncertainty from specialists investigating the case 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 and their future is but it's not our job to see where that actually was money for so typically your not able at cotton down to say where it is from we haven't yet been able to do that as analysis nor the o.p.c. w.'s report i did too far as the country. of origin of the agent used in this attack and we continue to see a sort of

a series of course of insinuation that russia is involved which basically is a music which is feeding the population. the way with the idea yes is the russian despite the averages the constant constant stream of these. people just accept oh yes it must be the russians. for that's ok we all must implement more sanctions it's time that we get all the evidence but my suspicion is that some going to happen well there that seems of little interest to washington which is found guilty slapped it with new sanctions and strangely given its ninety days to prove it wasn't involved or it will ratchet up the penalties to a whole new level with even talk of branding russia a state sponsor of terrorism regardless of trump wanting russia as a partner in his fight against terror and the toll so it doesn't seem to matter that the us itself is has a long history of consorting with groups branded as terrorists for instance america's support for the girl in movement which techie label to terror groups

organizing an attempted coup. sooner or later the united states will make a choice either to. either the. country of walkers. or how about the american officials who backs their reign extremist group then wish i had been a coke who bombs the headquarters of the islamic republic party there is a viable opposition to the rule of the. noun opposition is centered in this room. and let's not forget how america stood alongside the afghan wish i had been in its battle against the soviet union only to see that group later fall into al-qaeda the people we are fighting today we funded twenty years ago so does america dealing with these five and groups amount to sponsoring terrorism while the state

department has a good answer for that i will leave it to others to characterize the current state of our own standing. time of the last piece this week in a series of reports on the fate of russian families who left syria to fight for islamic state with a coach never traveled to southern russia to talk to people they're still trying to locate friends and relatives who pledged allegiance to the terror group. it's early morning but the office of those human rights group and brosnan is packed with women all desperate to find out any news about their loved ones many have come here from other regions of russia's north caucasus and almost all cases their relatives left russia to join i.c.l. in syria often taking their young children with them these women are united in their quest to have one simple question answered other family members still alive there are over six hundred women and children reported missing at this human rights

office and these are just some of the photos that their family members have left in a bid to locate them now our free picture has some general information of some general information on the back this is a four year old so maya and this child left russia when he was less than they hear but there are so many more of them. that he said doesn't miss a single meeting held at the office she says she has already accepted that she will never see her only son again but she just hopes that her grandchildren are still alive she brought pictures of her son's wife mariam one taken before she went to syria and another when she was over there with her son has never even seen her grandchildren and pass on both of them were born in syria and communication was

lost long ago so much so that she doesn't even know the name of her granddaughter. so we all hope that it will be ok that somehow it will all be ok i just feel so sorry for the children it's so difficult when you don't know where exactly your children are her and heard anything from my daughter in law in the bus eight months then i cried i will turn thinks is this year it is so difficult i don't think i can last much longer. that enid tries to spend almost all her free time at this office coming here after work she listens to the women's stories fills out forms and registers the newcomers her own personal tragedy brought her here to this place three years ago her brother left home and never returned his phone was last tracked in turkey but not a trace since almost three years of silence said. it

is very difficult for me now it was so close since we were kids always together went to school together to university together work together he was always around i guess after he left i feel like part of me as i don't leave a normal life now i just exist. was arena still believes that one day she will see her brother a life she has dedicated her life to helping others find their families twenty one russian women are currently in prison there are all of them were sentenced to life behind bars but they're there in prison with their children so now we're trying to bring back these children it is going to be such a joy just one child for to us if i help these children maybe this might somehow help me bring my brother back home.

for her search has come to its conclusion but there was no fairy tale ending she found out that her older sister aida is among a group of russian women convicted and sentenced to life in prison in iraq for joining and supporting i so she is in jail with her twelve year old daughter so while you have got out knows she will probably never see her sister again she is doing everything possible to. get her a nice back home and give her the childhood she's so clearly lost sass that she still canned food come to terms with her sister's decision. i don't think she was looking for it but to live there building a house together our brothers gave us land we had so many plans are planted trees there o's we wanted to march you had so much plans for the future and suddenly this

happened. all these stories the tragically familiar had this that out of a who leads the search for missing people says that the real number of families in fact it is catastrophic she says their database comprises over two thousand people was the safety least i feel irritated when i hear people say you're saving terrorists i'm deeply disturbed by that was what is this child's fault what's the fault of these children only the fact that their parents took them there and they became victims of this war when you start to deal with this problem you understand these are human lives we're talking about and they are all our citizens it's easy to just ignore these people there are only two official employees working at this office the others are volunteers to help when there is time as there is not enough manpower to deal with the vast amount of people affected and every second counts we

can't afford to lose time every minute cost the lives of one or two children says average began to reunite families nine planes have arrived back in russia carrying a little over one hundred people just a fraction of the thousands stranded and the war torn region. reporting from russia's republic of chechnya. earlier this week we are the first two episodes of the series about two russian sisters found in an iraqi orphanage and also a woman convicted talked to eight years in prison on terrorism charges after following her husband to syria in case you missed them she would like to see them again you can check them out. well the news this friday morning next democrats now looking for

a new tool to account of fake news online they're asking facebook to share data on its uses so they could be fed with what they say is the right information the d.n.c. is frequently accused russia of trying to influence voters in the twenty sixteen presidential elections of course it takes a look at what's been planned here that. it's ok not as great as we want who might you hear that from a teacher checking to rest say your gym coach boss or a senior technology officer for the democrats talking about how well the likes of facebook are cooperating with their party as if catering to the d.n.c. was on the network's mission statement what would make mr krikorian happier we would love to do was give every campaign something like the weather report to tell every campaign what is being said on social media in the morning and how they can combat it i'll explain the dems won facebook to look for people who've been fed

fakes or propaganda the network should then share that audience with the d.n.c. so that they could feed them what's accurate i.e. the right thing. the democrats are hungry for facebook data this could have been a great moment to remind you of the cambridge analytical data gate if one person if you joined the asp i would not just see your facebook profile i would see all of the facebook profiles of everybody that you're friends with and people had no idea that it was being taken in this way you know that was one massive gate but i'll remind you of something else the a bomb it seemed had a solution in place a facebook application more than one million obama back because he signed up for the app gave the campaign permission to look at their facebook friends lists in an instant the campaign had to wait see the hidden young vote just a little democrat trick to get hold of some user data for political gain before the two thousand and twelve vote you never heard about it because pretty much no one

cared those were the days no hash tag collusion media fallout news anchors didn't go on about a twenty four seven and some people in charge at facebook were just real fans of mr obama facebook was surprised to enable to psych out the whole social graph the. they didn't stop us once they realized that was what we were doing they allowed us to do things they wouldn't have allowed someone else to do because they were on our site should we assume that dems are still on facebook's friend list you know they've been told to sort the russian fakes out and so be has been taken measures they've just gotten rid of pages followed by hundreds of thousands of people because they're linked to russia i mean facebook's not so sure about that bit we're still in the very early stages of our investigation and don't have all the facts including him maybe behind this but remember for the democrats it's ok not as great

as we want and so i'd love to know what type of audiences were these hundreds of thousands of people because we want to talk to them or work with them come on it's just a bit of audience data stepping back a bit in a presidential candidate for the libertarian party of involve things and social media generally deviated from its original purpose. the idea of freedom of speech is a legal protection that says the government cannot restrict any freedom of speech it doesn't say whether or not a private company can say what facebook and twitter are doing or of a legally morally it is absolutely reprehensible morally as the leaders in communication twitter and facebook have a responsibility to encourage an open exchange of ideas not to give a huge buy to the established pro with state pro status quo old ideas they need to give space to the ideas that challenges that that's what has made the what made the

media useful in their early days but today these media are not speaking true to their early promise instead they're turning out to be just another tool of the status quo. and while the subject to social media is debated the problems it could cause are real while being interviewed in a college a seventeen year old student was asked not about his educational success scuse me but why he follows alex jones on twitter a controversial show host recently banned by several social media networks the students lawyer explain what happened in a bit more detail. represented a college student who wasn't admitted to university because they followed alex jones on twitter is that true and if so can you tell us more about that sure i'm happy to explain exactly what happened what was going on was it during the interview process the applicant was question about the fact that he was following

mr jones on twitter and the fact that he was looking his stuff up and that was something that was a challenge during the during the actual interview process and subsequently the parents of the student reached out to me and then i reached out to the the mission's director of the university and made sure that the situation was resolved in the student satisfaction so the problem here was that the fact that the interviewer was actually questioning why this young person was following mr jones in the other types of internet activities that he was partaking in shows the man behind the alternative news channel info wars was suspended this week by several social media platforms they say that's because he spread hate speech and glorify violence broadly share again says that people need to be more educated on how social networks use information. i'm a big fan of increasing people's personal privacy and i'm

a big fan of not only personal privacy but freedom of speech and the problem here is the fact that a lot of people just don't understand how and basic a lot of these tech companies are and hell invasive a lot of private institutions are using their technology trying to figure out exactly what your rate is what your religion is what your political viewpoints are and they're taking its information and they're using it against you so that's what i think people need to better understand these to these issues and defend themselves against that and they only way they can do it is if they become more educated about what is actually happening in the world today good morning for me kevin allen thanks searching to us this morning wherever you are in the world coming up israeli and palestinian authorities agree yet another sees far off the trading days of heavy fire but the question again is how long is it going to last to examine the break.

you know world of big partisan movies lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath 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. when we all make this manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go

round lifts only the one percent. nor middle of the room signal. room the real news is really. going to morning israeli and palestinian authorities have reached a cease fire agreement following two days of trading heavy fire. one of the latest bombing raids a cultural center in gaza city was destroyed israeli defense forces launched the operation after palestinian militants fired dozens of rockets into southern israel .

then on wednesday night an i.d.f. strike killed at least three people including a pregnant woman as well as her eighteen month old child a local journalist was at their funeral. we are now we did it by left city in the middle of the gaza city where we are attending the funeral of a nasa began in azerbaijan were killed yesterday during that abstracts launch from gaza strip and that's a plus three year old mother that was pregnant with a nine month baby i'm expecting him at any minute but yet is the one here in the household baby eyes you see thousands of palestinians are participating in the. whining that does the policy here. and the baby oh you see speechless i think the airstrike came from the side the smell is very bad where blood is filling

the place as you see the place is completely destroyed after talking to people in the same neighborhood they said that they found. the mother and the baby shot heard with pieces of their body were they were not in a complete body on the journey run to the most to find out if the explosion was there or in the house this came in the voices of people screaming were heard inside the house we started knocking on the door no one answered we went to the other door a small child opened it he was frightened he ran away from the woman's body blown apart baby was to the camera and says took the victims to hospital the husband was injured in the leg stomach and head and strikes were launched out to guide them killing dawn the israeli forces kept on singing and strikes where the promised resistance also fired rockets into israel policy that they would

confront blood with blood and strikes with strikes so far there have been announcement but he agreement between the israelis and the palestinian factions where yesterday was a very very tough night on all the palestinians in gaza strip. so while the pilots are coming. up i just made that very much of return policy and it's continued to grow just demonstrate yesterday. bring a new skill a season and in the war against the palestinian well for its part the i.d.f. says the military action was a response to rockets fired from gaza into israel since wednesday several israeli citizens they said have been injured. that is a threat and an aggression that the i.d.f. cannot and will not tolerate and in response we have returned with striking one hundred forty military targets belonging to hamas inside the gaza strip. the i.d.f.

is committed to defend the state of israel its a vivien's and its sovereignty and we are ready and prepared for different scenarios to come adding into this is well the u.n. middle east envoy snow warning of devastating consequences for all people if the israel gaza conflict continues to escalate. and had lead to pronounce his name so try get off warned that the situation could rapidly deteriorate. the search for a missing child in the u.s. has led to a grim discovery three year old abdul ghani was disappeared last december in the state of georgia last week the search lead to a remote compound in new mexico. yes through the eleven months he gets on. the leave you will.

listen to this and i mean this was me in the sun you know. one of the biggest problems that we've had in the united states is this doctrine of not offending anybody and allowing other things to gunmen such that we changed our training manuals even for local law enforcement from studying radical islam to countering extremist violence so we're not even allowed to train local law

enforcement on what radical islam studies liberal policies or what is going to blind in cripple us because we're so afraid to offend we're never going to say anything about another religion and we're never going to look into real threats and so because of that we're seeing more homegrown terrorists because any kind of a threat or maybe a warning sign is not able to be captured by law enforcement because they don't want to offend and everybody gets in trouble if they talk about it things check and i don't see this morning you know this friday holy day goes good but i was kind of an hour but with more in thirty three minutes from now people cross on these two but i don't know to check him out. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants.

costing us but a lot of sympathy i want to become lost and i won the last post on this topic but i have many of them look for refuge in the so called sentries sides of the refuse to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities and the last person asked bank of mom. mostly to point out how they are going to pass on the government on a question like what that. they have or what are the options to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house all over for the couples. both happy what with the who to be bad to be. a fair fitzcarraldo many couples won't. kill the chance of putting food impulse response both. of you up of up to the fault of the.

church secret indeed just like priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it literally i like to call this the do graphic solution so 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. no the highest ranks of the catholic church will conceal the accused priests from the police and justice center

that is as old as the eye and then the influence that it used to seattle. except to. thank i.e. . extend my. life sixty decisions through the us mexico border really turned out to spot protests against us president plans to build a dividing. of. my . last. my.

got to the middle class at the. in the in the middle. and the. other meant that if the. moon the moon you become a number but all the numbers go inside of the image get a muscle of that it's the don't walk on the tracks or on the trail. run right often assignments and it also by doing that you're not leaving your tracks today you see that your they're trying to walk on the harder the ground you don't want them to know that you're in there. are drugs observed better my shoe is certain patterns. for. we are a volunteer organization made up of former military and law enforcement who come down here for seven to ten days of time and we are as much of the warriors we

can to the drug trafficking and you could sit there and you could think that well that's just an old. was not it's a new one sitting on top of somebody else's if this is going on twenty four hours a day seven days a week you're not going to stop all of it when you're doing it with a nine to five shift mentality you have to come down in occupy the territory just like you would in a in a war. to us this is a war they're bringing in marijuana coke heroin meth and now they're bringing in general says synthetic hair when. you can see other questions. like is there a big difference between male and female track. size depth i mean because they're lighter smaller personality and have to worry about the. and out here it is the. women or children out here i've seen. track as

big as he is and misspend the biggest mexican open you'll ever meet and. fall him down he had something heavy on because he was. illusion baghdad missile kuwait i did four tours in iraq one tour in afghanistan. got a plate my head my arm so my goal to stop the drug trade i'm from mississippi so i drive twenty five hours to get here. and there several have a steady state we got one from south carolina i think it's the right thing to do the government's not doing anything down here that much so we're here to to try to stop the droughts. the.

last time we chased eighteen of them. each one of them carrying twenty kilos of drugs. and they got it from us and so we call border patrol and border patrol get on the other side of the. kitchen when they come on the other side. so if you look up there that's one of the towers that. that's our cost us ninety million dollars and that towers what is supposed to be watching the border right now and then when that tower sees something they call the border patrol. and they try to get the gays in the air but it's so far away from anything that by the time they get here they're already fast . charlie bass. world former military and law enforcement we know how to go both doing this in the

slow in the time we run into somebody. but it was a a ok we'll sit him down and then we ask him if they need any food or water or medical aid. regardless if you're bringing in drugs or killing people in the everything you know or if you're just sneaking into the country we don't want to see you die out there and be dying there's a horrible ways like that. so we have food water medical aid we call border patrol to put them up. listen. there's people from seventy eight different countries coming through the slave and the big problem is who are the little was happening in europe. we've got to help these poor people why you just let an old bunch of bad guys it's because

you don't know who the hell they are because. society than our days is so politically correct they're afraid of offending somebody. mayes. of you if i offend you faith beth i'm trying to protect my people my family my friends so if you're offended i'm sorry and that's why they call us races and there is a health.

club for it as far as i'm helping them. i live here at the bunker if you could would you want to visit italy's days actually sit on the couch and i do this full time if i were to stop doing what i was doing then we would be aware that you know how these guys out every single one of my guys we have to be very fun went to prison they have what's considered an aggravated felony you know it could be anywhere from writing a bad check which is fraud if you be discharging a firearm it could be a small amount of drugs like an ounce purse or used to be five pounds of marijuana i mean it's it really varies so i want to be very upfront these people need to know eg that there is a crime involved and they went to prison. i joined the military in one thousand

nine hundred five i served in two thousand and one i served with the eighty second airborne i got i was honorable discharge in two thousand and one after i got of the military i was involved where somebody shot a firearm at a vehicle i went to prison i was sent for three years but only did a year and. months and then i was the poor it in two thousand and four i came back to united states illegally. two thousand and ten and i stayed in mexico ever since and opened up a shelter in two thousand and thirteen. if you commit my grief you could be deported that means people who served in the military committed only their green cards will be taken away and that's the short and simple. if you see.

right. right right. i've been here for seven years now with the board in two thousand and ten on may. yeah that was a day i'll never forget i was scared. i didn't know anybody didn't know the city. didn't know how to get around our only had thirty two dollars in my pocket. immigration took my only form of id had no id and now only had that money and i didn't know what to do i didn't know where to go and they just dropped off with the board and say there you go and you got to continue on a walk to try to figure it out all in your own. america was never great was founded on a rape and

a murder. nothing changed so we said all response to these situations that we're dealing with. people here is sad every day she is just people killing each other blood for killing children. there was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this this can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i have to ride like this is the reason. most people think to stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top

of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest dream in truth to stand out in the news business you just need dance the right questions and demand the right answer. questions. so you can put alex goen in. there all right that's right it is right now you can put your name in. the real number three hundred people but there's only about thirty names on here so whenever a new the board of veteran like alex comes here he can put his name on the wall.

my name was an up here and i've been here seven years so i was out of the loop and now i feel like i'm tied in now their cause becomes my. awful one one for all. so that people know that we're not just a number we're not just a group you know we're actually living people. this just made it personal but i mean this is no longer just about me but about all my brothers. especially the ones that have passed away that lost their life. here while here in mexico we didn't have the chance to go back home. you know this is very very important now and this is now become. my fight.

my life just. told me fell apart i have no relatives here it's very. safe here organized crime runs this city. for three years when i have years in the marines. and it just sucks. you get deported i mean you're going to have to serve the country because i could not stay even though you pay your debts to stating you got no new felonies after that just sucks. because i think. what. it was is.

yes. yes yes. yes. it's all. my belongings right now. that's only my business cards for my business which i'm about to loose if i don't do something about it and still have my contractor's license on hand and i don't have a crate and i don't have anything else but i. i do have only a fond. then i. go in the three dollars and that's at. least those but i walk out but i get by saying i don't want to go for it we're going to go to say you're going to. get into that at least book in front of all of us at the club where oh no i. didn't

just go to leave this is what i do you know the simplest example when you have this elegant community i'm going to go to motive that is going to escape the flames look this is what you see in the human. beings can judge just. a little bit what. because of this if it. were happening is like following up with my paperwork to became one hundred percent documented i have to go to the immigration office be there once

a week once a month. you have to report yourself and bring proofs. so that any way this last time when i showed up. i walk in the nine o'clock in the morning. and i was detained it according with the officer he said it very clearly i don't deserve to be here. as well remember you are not. oh i'm there the a minister of obama you are now on the mistress of donald trump. and that's the big change. i got arrested in by five o'clock i was deported. it is a real nightmare because you get up in the morning at five thirty in the morning

and you are home. with your family when. you go to sleep somewhere else is a shock. when your grandson. my oldest boy and see how you how many boy his. he loves the pirates. i really don't know what's plain my feeling right now i don't know if i want to cry when the rhyme nor what you know what what i can do. nothing they can do so. he there or out there all of this year or so i hope to learn a new way of leaving. what

they see is the abuse so. you can walk on this street because it will be full over and there will be either or rob. that you want to. eat. i.

i. made a lot of the list the real america that i am it but also left for the unilateral us you say me there but i damn it. this a risk it there were a new thing oh no this is. me. i will not be again you know it us your. meta say otherwise dominate on opposite west. go look you see it at the never pull that this does lead rid us. so i was good move. maybe it was just did. i could to start is there are no me and me. this. is sort of this green.

maybe york and also in camino much i. mean walk along. the malls. and says no business and. this is the money it is they mean mess and. was. used to accuse a wimp i don't sound. the only really knew about this woman horribly them you see who's out there now me a whore this. is to me whore. who brought. it.

to so soon at least i will need that thank you bookie. this is so then we could go out for a stay i was still is the most recent. presidents and was dimly inducted. and as we reassign the pseudo so dylan epidemic i'm back at you every step. this is similar stuff. is there is to him and all those quotes. because that is true you. see who's to say the. side of you. is the real live when they come on a comment the boy there is the door shuts his business. i'll admit. that i believe what is most often working up wealth of good old history up for no

they don't they don't make all. i've received via me is that i post a couple of nice illiteracy that put us through the pirates. be a town last year the whitest lady here ok nor can anyone else. yeah they read i hope with some of the poor process you have. placed in the soon to your does not make it any better book a place that astound me that yon stop us i am from we left i don't care for movement look at do it casey came in the back i say are now what do they want us to . consist of is this even the admin but he may tell ya its business you know as. you look at the world that is a business killing ten you know pull us out you know what i get for one liam or

various of the you know in general we are a bit of a. timid model is it. see. any more. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the

world of politics this list i'm showbusiness i'll see them. this. is a. church secret indeed catholic priests accused of sexually abusing children can get away with it quite literally i like to call this the geographic

solution so 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 and that's known as the i and then i can flip out at tuesday's out and. i. think. it's both. i. i think i. think something that. that's.

in the headlines this morning moscow says if you further tightening of u.s. sanctions on russia as the start of an economic war washington says it's stepping up the restrictions over the poisoning of a former russian double agent and his daughter in the u.k. back in march. the us democratic party wants facebook to share data on members who've fallen for fake news so it can tell them what's right this is social media giants or accuse the censorship after banning controversial show host alex jones. coming up to this hour israel and hamas militants reach a tentative cease fire agreement after israel retaliates against dozens of rockets fired from the gaza strip.

and the legacy of terror we hear from families in southern russia that are desperate to contact loved ones who've been persuaded to fight for islamic state in syria others will hold that it will be ok that somehow it will all be ok i just feel so sorry for the children it's so difficult when you don't know where exactly children are. good morning welcome to the program my name is kevin internationally it's just nine am here now in moscow this friday the tenth of august first and further tightening of u.s. sanctions on russia will be viewed as the start of economic war and russia will have to react economically and politically that's exactly how the russian prime

minister dmitri medvedev reacted to newly announced restrictions by the u.s. that being imposed over the poisoning of former russian double agent sort of a script that his daughter back in march which were. eastern countries have blamed on russia moscow strongly denies any involvement the new sanctions will come into rome's than the first places limits on financing an export especially on a number of national security goods and the second wave will hit diplomatic relations as well as banking and imports alicia sethi takes up the story. when it comes to global disagreement sanctions that the u.s. weapon of choice as russia's number two at the u.n. put it let's us welcome the united sanctions of america well russia is being on the receiving end of plenty of them they stem from allegations of election meddling military aggression human rights abuses all cyber crimes take your pick and the latest well that's of the souls we're poisonings washington says it has to ten minutes that russia used a military nerve agent to attack form

a double agent say script paul and his daughter where are you getting the conclusion that russia is behind the screen poisoning i would leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding of the screen but others haven't given any evidence either just various grades of highly likely is highly likely that russia was responsible the two poles russia culpable culpable culpable culpable for the attempted murder and there's been uncertainty from specialists investigating the case. as analysis of the p.c. w.'s report i did to find the country. of origin of the agent used in this attack and we continue to see a sort of sees a quote here of insinuation that russia is involved which basically is a music which isn't feeding the population in the west with the idea yes it is the russians despite the evidence just

a constant constant stream of these. people just accept oh yes it must be the russians therefore that's ok you know most important more sanctions it's time that we did get all the evidence but my suspicion is that as i'm going to happen all the way that seems of little interest to washington which is found guilty slapped it with new sanctions and strangely given its ninety days to prove it wasn't involved or it will ratchet up the penalties to a whole new level with even talk of branding russia a state sponsor of terrorism that regardless of trump. wanting russia as a partner in his fight against terror and the torso doesn't seem to matter that the u.s. itself has a long history of consorting with groups branded as terrorists for instance america's support for the girl and movement which techie label to terror groups organizing and attempted. sooner or later the united states will make a choice either to. either the. walkers.

or how about the american officials here they are a in extremis grip then wish i had been a coke who bombs the headquarters of the islamic republic party there is a viable opposition to the rule of the. noun opposition is centered in this room. and let's not forget how america stood alongside the afghan wish i had been in its battle against the soviet union only to say that group later fall into al-qaeda the people we are fighting today we funded twenty years ago so does america dealing with these five and groups amount to sponsoring terrorism while the state department has a good answer for that i will leave it to others to characterize the current state of our understanding. time after the last piece of the series of reports on the fate of children of islamic state fighters from russia

within the coaching of a travel to the south of the country to talk to people desperate for news of family members the pledged allegiance to the terror group. it's early morning but the office of those human rights group and brosnan is packed with women all desperate to find out any news about their loved ones many have come here from other regions of russia's north caucasus and almost all cases their relatives left russia to join i.c.l. in syria often taking their young children with them these women are united in their quest to have one simple question answered other family members still alive there are over six hundred women and children reported missing at this human rights office and these are just some of the photos their family members have left in a bid to locate them now avg free picture has the name date of some general

information on the back this is a four year old so my at this child left rochelle when he was less than a year but there are so many more of them. he said doesn't miss a single meeting held at the office she says she has already accepted that she will never see her only son again but she just hopes that her grandchildren are still alive she brought pictures of her son's wife mariam one taken before she went to syria and another when she was over there with her son has never even seen her grandchildren and pass on both of them were born in syria and communication was lost long ago so much so that she doesn't even know the name of her granddaughter. so we all hope that it will be ok that somehow it will all be ok i just feel so

sorry for the children it's so difficult when you don't know where exactly your children are and heard anything from my daughter in law in the last eight months and then i cry and i will turn thinks is this year it is so difficult i don't think i can last much longer. that ina tries to spend almost all her free time at this office coming here after work she listens to the women's stories fills out forms and registers the newcomers her own personal tragedy brought her here to this place three years ago her brother left home and never returned his phone was last tracked in turkey but not a trace since almost three years of silence said. it is very difficult for me now it was so close since we were kids always together went to school together to university together work together he was always around i guess after he left i feel like part of me as i don't leave

a normal life now i just exist. was arena still believes that one day she will see her brother a life she has dedicated her life to helping others find their families. twenty one russian women are currently in prison there are all of them were sentenced to life behind bars but they're there in prison with their children so now we're trying to bring back these children it is going to be such a joy just one child for to us if i help these children maybe this might somehow help me bring my brother back home. for her search has come to its conclusion but there was a no for a retail ending she found out that her older sister aida is among

a group of russian women convicted and sentenced to life in prison in iraq for joining and supporting i so she is in jail with her twelve year old daughter so while god knows she will probably never see her sister again she is doing everything possible to. get her a nice back home and give her the childhood she's so clearly lost sass that she still canned food we come to terms with her sister's decision. i don't think she was looking for it but to live there building a house together our brothers gave us land we had so many plans are planted trees there rose we wanted to march you had so much plans for the future and suddenly this happened. all these stories the tragically familiar had this that out of a who leads the search for missing people says that the real number of families in fact it is catastrophic she says their database comprises over two thousand people

was with thank you lisa i feel irritated when i hear people say you're saving terrorists i'm deeply disturbed by that was what is this child's fault what's the fault of these children only the fact that their parents took them there and they became victims of this war when you start to deal with this problem you understand that these are human lives we're talking about and they are our citizens it's easy to just ignore these people there are only two official employees working at this office the others are volunteers that help when there is time as there is not enough manpower to deal with the vast amount of people affected and their free second counts we can't afford to lose time every minute cost the lives of one or two children says care for its began to reunite families nine planes have arrived back in russia carrying a little over one hundred people just a fraction of the thousands stranded and the war torn region. reporting from

russia's republic of chechnya thing. the democrats are hungry for facebook data this could have been a great moment to remind you of the cambridge. data gate if one person if you joined the asp i would not just see your facebook profile i would see all of the facebook profiles of everybody that you're friends with and people had no idea that the data was being taken in this way yeah that was one massive gate but i'll remind you of something else the a bomb it seemed had a solution in place a facebook application more than one million a bomb of backers who signed up for the app gave the campaign permission to look at their facebook friends lists in an instant the campaign had a way to see the hidden young voters just a little democrat trick to get hold of some user data for political gain before the two thousand and twelve vote you never heard about it because pretty much no one

cared those were the days no hash tag collusion media fallout news anchors didn't go on about a twenty four seven and some people in charge at facebook were just real fans of mr obama facebook was surprised we were able to psych out the whole social graph but they didn't stop us once they realized that was what we were doing they allowed us to do things they wouldn't have allowed someone else to do because they were on our site should we assume that dems are still on facebook's friend list you know they've been told to sort the russian fakes out and so be has been taken measures they've just gotten rid of pages followed by hundreds of thousands of people because they're linked to russia i mean facebook's not so sure about that bit we're still individually early stages of our investigation and don't have all the facts including him maybe behind this but remember for the democrats it's ok not as great as we want and so i'd love to know what type of audiences were these hundreds of

thousands of people because we want to talk to them or work with them come on it's just a bit of audience data. was done about for those people generally presidential candidate for the libertarian party of involve i think social media has deviated from its original purpose. the idea of freedom of speech is a legal protection that says the government cannot restrict any freedom of speech it doesn't say whether or not private companies can and what facebook and twitter are doing are ok legally morally it is absolutely reprehensible morally as the leaders in communication twitter and facebook have a responsibility to encourage an open exchange of ideas not to give a huge buy to the established pros state pro status quo old ideas they need to give space to the ideas that challenges that that's what has made the what may be

the media useful in their early days but today these media are not taking true to their early promise instead they are turning out to be just another tool of the status quo. well while the subject of social media is going to play to the problems it could cause a very real well being interviewed in a college a seventeen year old student was asked not about his educational success but why he follows alex jones on twitter alex jones of course the controversial show host recently banned by several social networks the shooter's lawyer explained to mcculloch neil harvey a bit more about what happened. do you represented a college student who wasn't admitted to university because they followed alex jones on twitter is that true and if so can you tell us more about but sure i'm happy to explain exactly what happened what was going on was it during the interview process the application was question about the fact that he was following mr jones on twitter and the fact that he was looking his stuff up and

that was something that was a challenge during the during the actual interview process and subsequently the parents of the student reached out to me and then i reached out to the the mission's director of the university and made sure that the situation was resolved in the student satisfaction so the problem here was that the fact that the interviewer was actually questioning why this young person was following mr jones in the other types of internet activities that he was partaking in. shows that are beyond the alternative news channel info was was suspended this week several social media platforms they say that's because he spreads hate speech glorifies violence broadly share against his people need to be more educated on how social networks use information. i'm a big fan of increasing people's personal privacy and i'm a big fan of not only personal privacy but freedom of speech and the problem here

is the fact that a lot of people just don't understand how invasive a lot of these tech companies are and hell invasive a lot of pride institutions are using their technology trying to figure out exactly what your rate is what your religion is what your political viewpoints are and they're taking this information and they're using it against you so that's what i think people need to better understand is that these issues and defend themselves against that and they only way they can do that is if they become more educated about what is actually happening in the world today you watch house international coming up israel and hamas militants agree yet another sees far off the days of trading heavy fire but how long is it going to last we're trying to gauge that.

most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the first one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand this is just the dance the right questions the ban the right answer. questions. seems wrong but i. just don't. get to see how to stay. active. and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart weak she says to look for common ground.

by good morning israel and hamas militants have reached a ceasefire agreement following two days of trading heavy fire. in one of the latest bombing raids a cultural center in gaza city was destroyed israeli defense forces launched the operation after hamas militants fired rockets into southern israel dozens of them in fact. there was.

on wednesday night an i.d.f. strike killed at least three people including a pregnant woman as well as her eighteen month old child that's according to the gaza health ministry local journalist was at the funeral. oh. we are now and did it by left city in the middle of the gaza city where we are attending the funeral of a nice and beyond us and beyond were killed yesterday during the airstrikes launch from gaza strip and that's a plus three year old mother that was pregnant with a nine month baby i am expecting him at any minute but yet is the one here in the household baby as you see thousands of palestinians are participating in the. whining that does the policy here. and the baby oh you see speeches i think the airstrike came from the side the smell is very bad where blood is filling

the place as you see the place is completely destroyed after talking to people in the same neighborhood they said that they found. the mother and the baby shot heard with pieces of their body were they were not in a complete body on the journey run to the most to find out if the explosion was there or in the house ambulances came in the voices of people screaming were heard inside the house we started knocking on the door no one answered we went to the other door a small child opened it he was frightened he ran away from the woman's body blown apart baby was to the ambulances took the victims to hospital the husband was injured in the leg stomach and head and strikes were launched and how to guide them until dawn the israeli forces kept on singing and strikes where the policy resistance also fired rockets into israel policy that they would confront blood with blood and strikes with strikes so far there have been

announcement but he agreement between the israelis and the palestinian factions where yesterday was a very very tough night on all the palestinians in gaza strip. tomorrow the pilots are coming for the palestinians to apply to spain but there ain't much of return policy to continue to protest continue to demonstrate yesterday. bring a new. war against the palestinians the i.d.f. says the military action was response to rockets fired from gaza into israel since wednesday several israeli citizens they said have been injured. that is a threat and an aggression that the i.d.f. cannot and will not tolerate and in response we have returned with striking one hundred forty minute third targets belonging to hamas inside the gaza strip. the idea of who's committed to defend the state of israel its of aliens and its

sovereignty and we are ready and prepared for a different sort of. a green party candidate spoil the party for the u.s. democrats in local elections in ohio they expected victory but instead joe manchin grabbed over a thousand votes to swing the poll unhappy with a loss the democrats lashed out of the green party and as you usual blame rush to smear a car tells you more. believe it or not there might be a new villain in u.s. politics mikail man one of the green party's congressional candidates in ohio who was alleged to have sway in election with just over a thousand votes but couldn't even remember his own campaign website. or congress dot wordpress star. words lawyers something you might think that no one would be threatened by this unassuming guy but you'd be wrong as the democrats narrowly lost that election to the g.o.p. mantric and the entire green party were immediately scapegoated for the defeat this

is an embarrassment. to green party can you please wait to make your symbolic votes at a time when our government isn't being overrun by white supremacists. so the green party candidate is an immigrant from a distant planet as he explains on facebook we can vote for whoever we want in the yes that doesn't mean we should though someone as far as to say that anyone who votes for the green party could be a russian agent. you know what sucks. because of our unwillingness to bus policy that protects our election integrity i mean did we think the green party woods tonight a russian meddling why else would anyone cuss to protest in ohio when there is so much at stake this isn't the first time minor parties like the libertarian party or the green party have been attacked by the establishment for electoral losses in two thousand when al gore won the popular vote but lost the electoral college vote

democrats castigated green party voters for choosing nader over poor and quote helping bush with in two thousand and sixteen when hillary clinton lost democrats pulled that strategy again blaming minor party voters and accusing libertarian party candidate gary johnson and green party candidate jill stein of electing trop and they added a whole new layer to their accusations bruce a phobia r t was central to this accused of undermining democracy u.s. intel communities exact words for hosting a debate between johnson and stein and showing americans that they had other choices besides the two establishment candidates are horrible crime apparently and then when an old photo of jill stein sitting next to blatter we're putting out an r.t.a. gallow went viral all hell broke loose. trashing the us will still time trashing the us wall in russia in december twenty fifth thing she attended a russian propaganda t.v. and sat at the table with mike flynn and putin keep in mind there was absolutely no

reason for her to be there except to become a russian pole they're not the only ones who've been accused of colluding or working with russia anyone who doesn't toe the bipartisan anti russia line is obviously on the kremlin's payroll now senator rand paul one of the strongest libertarian voices of the republican party is also under suspicion let's be honest minor parties are a nuisance to the two establishment parties that make up the two wobbly the fewer parties the better right no one old dilute votes but here's the question. without minor party guests who would have been scapegoated maybe it should just be one party basically protected from russian involvement but there's only one surefire way and that's to have no elections at all samir khan r.t. washington d.c. . twenty eight. without full that's where the headlines are looking so far this friday morning keep abreast of us so much more on our main site.

my in-laws are less than what the united kingdom on the one hand the a lot of it because it's shambolic and fraudulent. because thousands tens of thousands of people and their lives destroyed by r.b.s. . china's slaps new tariffs on u.s. goods as the trade war between the two nations escalates will it impact in the mid turns we're taking a look at that on this edition of. the
