it's been taking place since four days but also i have. heard from some local sources in gaza need that taliban actually are now withdrawing from those locations that have been committing. attacks against. various government is solutions since for days the situation is actually really harsh and the hospital is full of dead bodies and wounded and i have seen fresh footage from gaza that is telling lots of stories inside the city people are really scared the highways have been blocked since for days to come you creation has been down and people cannot communicate with their relatives or we even cannot talk to the more our local officials or residents in gaza it has been a very harsh time for gaza it has been like a waltz to city but the government is now saying that they are trying to expel the taliban and they are trying to secure the city but we will see what will happen

next middle east expert ali risk sees america's war on terror in afghanistan has not only failed but is actually boosted extremism. so called war on terror which was launched after the september eleventh attacks and it shows us that this war has turned out to be an utter failure taliban are always in a stronger position than it ever was ever since it was our state from power i don't think the u.s. can do anything if it continues with its own focus just on military attacks you know militarily speaking it hasn't succeeded so i don't think there is much that the u.s. can do in that regard i think it's proof that the u.s. has been pursuing a wrong strategy in defeating terrorism on the contrary i think that the u.s. involvement up until now when the focus on military force in the region has led to the growth of terrorism and sort of leading to the alter the curbing of

terrorism i think that is clear from what we see in afghanistan. talking contest in the u.s. has revealed valid doesn't take a top notch russian computer expert to get into america's election infrastructure it turns out an eleven year old can do that as a goal reports. learn more about the twenty hacking contest that's what the link says and yes it's from a real website and the contests are real too it's for kids and it's not being held in russia what this is america anyway meet the winner eleven year old audrey they need. to be me we can call them a our own name it reminds me that we won the election and it just took her ten minutes to hack a replica of an election office website in one of the battleground states. these

are members of congress they work hard to approve budget grants to sort out elections cyber security the one for twenty thing was three hundred eighty million bucks these are child hackers i mean contestants they tap their keyboards to prove that within minutes america's election systems are a piece of garbage thirty five out of the thirty nine youngsters taking part this year were able to do just that so how come there haven't been any warnings for a grown up specialists well actually there have always been the milling machine is no different states and it's extremely easy to get advantage of this kind of dismissal so let me show you how quick it is that a little under two minutes. you don't need any totals to do that. and now i have. full advantage it looks like you don't have to turn pro to be

a meddling master and outsmart security efforts worth hundreds of millions of dollars don't bother guessing hole be the ones to take advantage come november we've already been told many times there's no doubt russian hackers ahead of the midterm they know it was arrogant and security of. the russians are targeting members of congress famous. midterm elections are just around the corner and russia's attack continues to haunt the united states russian election interference in the twenty teen midterms the russians have not reduced their hacking it's even the first thing the prodigy's at the conference will tell you that their protocol which could also be a great excuse when someone asks the suits why the systems vulnerable to say the least by the way when the good will hackers look back at their previous conference they wrote if russia can attack our election so can others iran north korea isis or

even criminal or extremist groups because let's face it if hacking an american election is child's play perhaps it's time the guys in charge did their homework on where the real threats are a quarter of an hour into the program we are back in ninety seconds talking on trade stay with us.

so here you now this new attempt at a global unit of account a global currency. that will be controlled by any government has the chance to do what galt failed to do to escape the. keys of the central bankers and build an economy. there is tension brewing in germany house president trumps new trade tariffs on the

e.u. and washington's increased pressure on the air. the us has all steel minium for europe and its key nato ally turkey german leaders are warning of wide ramifications. we won't let washington dictate to us with whom we can do business. trade wars slowing down and destroying economic growth and creates a new uncertain suze and interesting statements that peter altmire the economy minister gave to one of the big sunday newspapers here in germany and what we can infer from that is that this is the exact opinion of chancellor angela merkel mrs merkel never want to come forward with a statement unless she really really has to and of course peter altmire being one of her most trusted cabinet members he was the head of the chancellery for five years between twenty thirteen to twenty eighteen so what he says can be really taken is the word of angela merkel what mrs merkel and or germany says is usually

in lockstep with what brussels has to say on these matters so we can really get ghana that this is the opinion of the european union but it's not just the e.u. berland mrs merkel or mr altmire that have issues with tariffs trump and trade at the moment in turkey well they've seen a much tougher reaction in fact on sunday while the german economy minister was speaking to sunday newspapers over the weekend president ed the one we're speaking to must crowd saying that if this trade war wasn't well backed down from from the u.s. side then well turkey could start looking for allies and friends elsewhere. we will respond to the one declaring a war of trade to the whole world. new markets finding new corporations and allies . at the crux of the problem between and washington is the pastor andrew bronson

now he's been in custody for two years in turkey so far there's a deadline set for his release of last wed in state that wasn't met and when that wasn't met on friday trump brought in new tara fs against turkish exports of metals now that means twenty percent tariff on many in being exported from turkey into the united states and fish. percent all stale now what that scene is on monday the turkish lira dropped to a record low against the us dollar and the words from mr over the weekend of prompted it's well quite colorful way of saying no to the u.s. dollar across turkey.

but ultimately what a trade war creates is uncertainty and uncertainty is kryptonite for business in a trade war in the end everyone loses in everyone's economy takes a hit and not is why we see in the reaction from this side of the atlantic. let's turn our attention to the middle east now where the israeli prime minister is digging in over another large scale protest in tel aviv against the recently passed nation state law which are of this really just plain makes non jews second class citizens benjamin netanyahu says the rallies underlined the need for such a law and there should people who put their. we received clear testimony of the urgency of the nation state law we saw palestinian flags in the

heart of tel aviv we heard the calls with blood and fire we will redeem palestine many of the demonstrators want to repeal the law of return cancel the national anthem for the power flag and cancel israel is the nation state of the jewish people now it's clearer than ever that the nation state law is necessary we passed this law and we will uphold it. protest was the second in as many weeks tens of thousands of our observant jews turned it in tel aviv. both hebrew and arabic appealing for democracy quality and for the law to be abolished some sign said resist apartments. well the nation state law was passed last month it's similar to a constitutional amendment on recognizes israel as the homeland of the jewish people it also underlines the unique right to self-determination but it also doesn't grades are a big from being an official language critics say the law not only undermines

fragile guarantees of a quality in israel but opens the door for open discrimination against jews. this law is trying to incite in the state a war between brothers a war between the jews and the arabs and we will not accept it we have lived together and we will die together in this land. i'm not asking for a right i deserve to have these this is what i deserve a someone who lives in his country i'm not scared of anything but i fear that this law being a basic law will drag other laws from which we will suffer this is the law is. a language. against the. very people of this land we can't agree for this law well here's how some of our guests view the controversial legislation. this law actually doesn't change anything for the citizens of israel who does not discriminate or take any rights

through and the law simply says that israel is the nation state of the jewish people it which has been long overdue this law is a basic law and that means it's constitutional which means. apartheid state for jewish people only well i think that what you just heard is the exact example of why we need it you have a person who is not an israeli citizen these bashing my country in israel all citizens are equal under the law the third biggest party in the parliament is their party what i find shocking is that people who condemn the bare existence of the state of israel in any border are saying that we are and which i think is just this law says that this land is only for half of the population and half would be discriminated against it does not identify the borders of israel which means that this system of discrimination includes not only palestinians inside israel but also by the students in the west bank and those are sort of the. injured in scenario

where sometimes people mistakenly call the west bank it's a you didn't run it's a jew free state as a jew not allowed to be there this law does nothing about you then scenario unfortunately for me would really logged in syria just doesn't touch it that's not true do you agree that we should have a palestinian state or not there finitely not but i think what we have come along using is that you want another said but you also are you going right israel is telling me i can't have citizenship but he wants to continue to occupy my land and he says i cannot have a state and we cannot have a two state solution and yet he speaks that it is a democracy. royalists industry you may rejoice because you can order your very own free portrait of the queen all you have to do is contact your local m.p. and sign up for the nationhood programs.

basic right casual shot of please in front of some gun trace except i want some making a little bit. formally imagine a list but the second. you're watching are to international get a right to up to the moment developments on our twitter page literally by the

minute there don't something. told. me i'm going to get me a few. you know world's big partners through law 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 troops the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime tamping each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you longs to be old for rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but.

the mass general that say we're going underground is what is in britain's unite union take strike action on oil and gas platforms in the north sea coming up in the show cuts existence will deliver and once trouble right to withdraw from the paris climate deal just will for the reasons jump gave the world we best to get whether the deal is always too little too late and visibility brakes. once again in one of the world's most resource rich countries we speak to the director of this is congo about a history of cia backed coups corruption and colonialism but there's a new report from the british crown prosecution service finds that charges but modern slavery offenses have risen by more than a quarter in the last year we speak to the bishop of darby dr alice to read first who leads initiatives to fight human trafficking all this the more coming up in today's going underground a first while major nation mainstream media continue to pump out empty my dura

rhetoric against the country with the largest known reserves of oil in the world venezuela workers from britain's biggest trade union to be in charge will to take action in the north sea against the company this man leads you can look you purported six out of four and yes the pumping of seventy thousand barrels of oil a day has been threatening to the north seas alwynne dunbar an elegant platform as part of a dispute about pay this while fatah was eclipsed b.p. and chevron in net profits for the third consecutive quarter but as fossil fuel companies fight workers while continuing to prosper and exert influence over democratically elected politicians like they've always done international debate over climate change is now itself arguably changed he is the leader of the so-called free world com is talking about for all of this with the global warming and that it a lot of it's a hoax it's a hoax i mean it's a money making industry ok it's a hoax the president has tweeted climate change skepticism at least one hundred fifteen times including a claim that the concept of global warming was created by and for the chinese in

fairness to the us president he then denied i do not say that and i think i do know that well he denied that before pulling out of the paris climate change accords and this is how russian president vladimir putin reacted to trump's withdrawal of the paris treaties a very proper good document which is aimed at rizzoli one of the global problems of the current times in order to determine the climatic changes now the issue is whether we are in a position to. not allow climate change who's in there backing the paris climate deal while appearing to express some doubts about its effectiveness well joining me now via skype from louds island in maine is professor katherine richardson co-author of trajectories of the earth system in the advocacy and published in the proceedings of the u.s. national academy of sciences in the past few days professor richardson thanks so much for coming on the program to just explain risks that would still exist even if the world abided by the paris agreement on a two degree centigrade rise in temperature well what we did is we sort of said

well listen it's nice that politicians have decided that the earth will be two degrees warmer than it was in the pre-industrial and sort of assume that it'll just stay at that temperature who's a back at the earth's history and it turns out it's never had a stable period of long a long period where the temperature was stable at about two degrees above pre-industrial so what that told us is that there may be other processes in the earth's system that when you get to be two degrees warmer could keep pushing the temperature up until you got around four to five degrees as has happened in the past so we started searching for those processes and we didn't identify anything new all of these processes have been identified before but we looked at was the interactions between these processes we're talking processes like the melting of ice the melting of permafrost the changing biological conditions in the ocean the changing chemistry of the ocean and then we're talking tipping points as well the melting of the greenland sea ice the the or the arctic sea ice and the greenland

ice sheet the changing of the gulf stream all those sorts of tipping points that we've talked about and we look at how they might be related to each other the interactions between all of these different processes and it really looks like you might be able to set up a a sort of a cascade that's what happens in the in the earth system where it's where it's almost like a rule of dominoes as children we put we put dominoes up on there and we pushed. the first one and down they all went and it's like one of these processes could get to the point it pushes the next one the next one and the next one and once you get into a chain reaction like that it's just like a nuclear reaction you can't stop it underway so the really important thing for humanity is to make sure we don't get to a point where those that chain reaction could could actually be started and two degrees would be the tipping point you suggest from looking at the history of the

earth it looks like it's it might be somewhere around two degrees so two degrees might be fine but even better if we could if we could actually achieve the goals of the paris agreement which is that we hold human caused climate or global warming to well below two degrees so we're not saying anything against the paris agreement quite the contrary i think the paris agreement is is incredibly exciting because it represents a a first attempt to try and manage our resources at the at the global level and and our ancestors i guess when they stopped hunting for their food and started living at a at a fixed address at first that let their ways just fall and they took whatever they thought they needed and then they realized for their own sakes they needed to manage their relationship with nature at the local level now we can see we're impacting the earth at the global level so for our own sakes we need to manage our relationship with the planet as

a whole. you seem to be applauding political cooperation there not so much looking particularly of every bench role extrapolation really because of course in this paper when the dominoes fall we're talking a forty five degree rise in temperature with sea levels reacting between ten to sixty meters. now that's that's that would be the situation if this chain reaction got started then we believe we would end in. a situation where the earth was what we call hothouse earth which is four to five degrees warmer and that would not only mean ten to sixty meters of sea level rise it would also mean heat waves like you can't imagine the areas of the up the earth where humans would be unable to live and certainly very much changed and reduced area where we could produce food massive storms wildfires people moving away from regions where they they can't produce food or can't survive the temperatures though potential political conflicts

it would also the the animals and the plants that we know today many of them would go extinct so it would be an entirely entirely different world than than the one we know if we did actually go to a hot house and and just to be clear this is not like these things you hear on mainstream media a lot of a dime analysis of data as in say the nineteenth century you really are really looking at ice sheets and data that going on there later what we're trying to do is understand the earth as a system as a complex system and analyze its behavior as a complex system and when i talk about a system if you think about your body if you had your head in your study it you know everything about your head or your hands or your feet or your heart or your brain you still can't predict the emergent properties when you put them all together in other things than in other other words the new things that are going to happen if you put it all together like we can walk and talk and all that sort of

stuff and it's a little bit the same with that with the earth we've understood all these different processes on their own but what happens when you put them together in a system of context and look how they affect each other i know professor hands schellnhuber is a co or for i mean one thing we do know definitely is there's going to be another ice age with no sign i know he's done work on it no sign that the an imminent ice age could save us from this even from the tipping. point of the first moment of well actually to be perfectly honest there are some signs that we may have some some scientific reports and there's not consensus on this all the way around but there are scientific reports suggesting that we have just a bird hood the next ice age that because we have warmed the planet as much as we have already the world was cooling now it's warm and so i think it's probably a little optimistic to sit back and wait for an ice age to solve this problem for us i think we're going to have to take the bull by the horns as well as an all

those different dominoes there's an argument in the paper very improved forest agricultural and soil management when when it comes to management do you think you are dealing with something clearly political in terms of the solution it's not something that can be put together easily with a big fossil fuel lobby advising some politicians no i mean you're right and it's very difficult as scientists and we don't try and tell the politicians or society what it should do what we try to do here is to is to argue that we need to we need to think of our role in the system as a whole and manage our feedbacks within the system and then we try to identify a kind of tool box that that society politicians whomever has at their disposal in order to be able to do this management there are lots and lots of different activities that we could have changing our behavior changing our diets there's many

things that are possible as tools here and there's no one single bullet technology is not going to save us here it's going to help us but it's not going to save us so politicians society whomever is going to have to have to choose a bouquet of these tools in order to be able to contribute to this management of our resources at the global level and that we privatise don't say what they should do but it just finally then. on. i think you have the ethical lipstick elements of of the paper and in terms of the last domino going can you think of another time now especially the climate change skeptics seem to gain be to the fore arguably because of trampling out of the deal can you think of a time when elites would seek to profit at the expense of their great grandchildren in terms of profits today because obviously they're big forces against the kind of science you're doing in this paper well to be fur to be honest i don't

think there are as many big forces as as as media makes it look like i mean they're beginning to the opposition and there will always be folk that don't understand and people that don't want to believe this we have people that believe that you know there's going to a crisis coming the world's going to end next week and you know there are all the fortunately there are people with all sorts of beliefs i i don't think we should be stopping putting you know stopping people getting being able to say what they think but they get an awful lot of focus on this pushback and i don't in my everyday life i don't mean it as being as great as as you're making it out to be here i honestly sees a very positive movement going in the right direction look at the paris agreement look at the un sustainable development goals look at the way companies are taking these these issues on board large major multinational companies so you know i i

really believe this is a a train that is running it's not going fast enough yet we have our backs against the wall on a knife at our of throats but but i work best under pressure i think most people do and i'm i'm i'm i'm hoping i'm believing i do believe that humanity does as well reza government is a vague here. after the break but yet this is america we speak to the director of this is called to go about the years of western backed shadow wars that have torn the country apart and his new figures show that one hundred eighty five modern slavery and human trafficking convictions.
