4:00 am
believe that's very that's very cool to see but you know ted you know the reason all this happened though right oh i can imagine watch the mainstream news media you know the reason behind all this and of course it's russia russia russia yes it's all russians follow all of the political news in the united states and racial divide all that all russia's fault and look i mean how can you not believe republican representative tom garrett who's a member of a host on homeland security he told me on saturday before the big protests that quote i sat may close session briefing probably two months ago about charlottesville with the director of the f.b.i. among others and asked if russian intermeddling had to do with fermenting the flames of what happened in charlottesville i was told yes it did. you know what republicans have done. to sow racial division and they love a good da whistle the old do it i'm tired of hearing like the russians obviously they did the russians i don't know where the russians were. only there was you know
4:01 am
they really like. is really the amount of people who are out there for their night the right on that side of the you know we're going to call it the white nationalist title but there was a lot of money per. se me i mean you have to imagine you know lafayette square from freedom plaza lafayette square the march went along and you know almost took a big chunk of of lafayette square and you have to understand it was thousands no matter whatever his house it was thousands of people. to few thousand if not more who gathered walked up there and when you looked across it was. it was quite literally so hard to even see them it ended up being around five it was supposed to start at five and by about five really it was just like like twenty. neo nazis just kind of hold together under a tree with like an umbrella waiting for casler to speak and he pretty much was
4:02 am
level also with the bomber and those are those how much money i didn't love but everybody really was like there were people literally going i feel bad for them like this is really embarrassing what's interesting though is that you got a chance also there's six of them really amazing took place there and amidst the calls the shame and the readiness to sort of keep neo nazis from the following our city many protesters took a slightly different approach and one of those was dancing to the electric slide in the wobble and generally bringing this joy to our streets instead of hate now celebrating this culture along with that was one woman who marched right in front of me from freedom plaza to lafayette square with her walker and the minute the dancing started she left her walker and joined the celebration showing us all that fight means drowning out the hate with love of a little life and the electric flash and. yes we united by right as we're pretty card watchers don't forget to let us know what you
4:03 am
think of the topics are covered on facebook and twitter and see our full shows at our dot com coming up sean stone gives in to a new documentary on the congo don't want to miss that stay tuned.
4:04 am
america was never great was founded on the rapes and murders. nothing changed so we said all response to these situations that we're dealing with. people get shot every day she is just people kill 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 by law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i
4:05 am
have to ride like this is the reason. why is it that some countries seem to be continually mired in cyclical wars political instability and economic crisis well that is the central question behind the film this is congo a new documentary featuring an in-depth look at a part of the world not often talked about in a western corporate news media starting in twenty twelve the film focuses on four different individuals over a three year period a whistleblower a patriotic military commander a mineral dealer and it displaced taylor and how they live under rebellion resource exploitation colonialism and the other major issues and problems affecting the
4:06 am
region johnstone sat down with the photojournalist behind the documentary daniel mccabe to delve deeper into the story of his film and the congo let's take a listen. america's always been involved in africa in one way or another not colonial. in from the front cold the situation. but in terms of mineral interest sure it's hard to really see america inside of all this. they're hidden in terms of their involvement but the influence is huge you know how we kind of approached the conflict there whether it's through backing and support through the un or humanitarian organizations or through. different bills we passed like the dodd frank bill where it's our attempt to try and clean up the conflict mineral chain but. the reality is it's just as image before you know when we try and create bring our solutions idea of solutions that often just don't match with
4:07 am
with the reality of the grown so so we're often left with a problem that's bigger than it was with when it started and it will certainly have the problem again going back to the economic situation we. these minerals that are very valuable and they're being utilized by us every day essentially right the same rate of the various minerals that we're talking about they end up in our plants as our electronics. you know diamonds and gold obviously have value so essentially we are playing into the conflict without being aware of plants that conflict yeah i mean that's true and i think a hot topic is you know we can use the electronics like coal to his it's largely mined in the congo and that's inside of our cell phones so i think we. we often look at end user responsibility how involved are we can can is buying a and i phone is that impacting things on the ground in congo and i think it
4:08 am
becomes a little more confusing because you know if we go in and try and decipher between a conflict mineral and conflict free mineral really all that means is a government controlled mining area or a rebel controlled money or. you know when you have a government as corrupt as it is in a in a national army as corrupt as it is where is the conflict mineral you know you can make an argument that maybe a rebel controlled mine is more conflict free or or vice versa it's very murky and at the end of the day when you cut off those conflict minerals the miners are really the ones that suffer so you have people in total communities based around this trade which has been going on for decades and decades and then they're out of work and it's really hard to try and clean up that chain and and make it more honest without profoundly impacting the people on the ground so it's a conundrum. that the solution as you know lou support. and i mean
4:09 am
given your experience there you spent how many how many years for them about four years filming there but for this film but been working there since two thousand and eight yeah but so you're you know you being on the ground for years there spending time with with people you have a sense you know how intractable are the problems a century how much do you know tribal issues and various ethnic issues that have become embedded in the culture and you know they have you know obviously that you know it's written with with organic situations that are that are moving and changing at all times but you know how much of what the actual like on the ground situation to you that you feel could be solved if it was left into the hands of the people as opposed to trying to impose from government perspectives. it's a tricky question i mean i think taking a step back helps can text allies it a bit more where when we look at the different types of issues on the ground aside from the resources and the obvious reason why people want to get out them you know
4:10 am
you have ethnic divisions that are used as manipulation devices in the same way religion can be used to these these systems. these african systems of. governess that are happening on the ground don't mesh with with the democratic style of which the country has developed or we're trying to help impose. so so it's almost impossible to start you know separating these things are. often the the population is chewed up in the process and when you look at the country as a whole it's it's the story about two thirds the size of western europe and they only have about five hundred miles of paved road so there's no infrastructure the education system is heavily you know depressed and. you know we have people dying from skeeter bites so these are these are problems that i don't think we often consider but when that's the reality on the grown what you do the
4:11 am
decisions as a congolese as somebody living those areas have everything to do with those realities. in terms of i mean it's can you touch upon a here when you talk about how these some of these are contrived some of these situations of ethnic and religious diversity and it are being utilized to basically put people at odds with each other but when i look at africa i mean i've spent some time in with save the children in another n.g.o.s that are trying to do positive it does really begin with a fundamental lack of infrastructure and a lot of this is controlled as we know from i.m.f. and world bank this is where you have the american influence right controlling the purse strings so that should these think these funds are being utilized to actually build up your infrastructure for markets to thrive or you can end up with you know basically commerce and people coming together and having education and having awareness of values so when you look at these situations being depressed who do you think is really behind this sort of mental manipulation of these situations to make
4:12 am
sure that there is an ongoing conflict to make sure that basically uganda and rwanda and congo aren't odds with each other's throats and that the various ethnicities and culture. as our fighting internal civil wars continuously in places like congo sure sure i mean it's like what do we find when we pull the curtains back who's who's you know playing with the marionette strings. you know it's it's tricky and i think overall when you have a government as corrupt as congo's is it's individuals that are behind it and whether it's you know we want to point a finger at the president which is newsy thing to do because he's holding on to power and and he got there by kind of questionable means. it's. again it's we have to we have to step back it's i think one of them pujas components of the continuing conflict in the congo is not being able to put our
4:13 am
finger hey this is why this is why we can say the resources we can see the corrupt government in all the armed groups that the foreign interests international mining interests all these things these components that are that are in there that create this fog mill once the fog is there this creates real opportunity for these types of nefarious actions to increase so there's no consequence if if if a million dollars is given to repair roads in the east maybe only three hundred thousand of them actually arrives on the ground and it's not enough to complete a job and because of that it just truncates on itself and i think this kind of scenario continues to unfold on everything whether it's delivering humanitarian aid or trying to get the lections in order or trying to build infrastructure or you know foreign and humanitarian groups coming in to do it often they're met with with opposition just from either the people on the ground or the government and it's because of these kids and decades of. you know. instability.
4:14 am
what was the then for you with the intention ultimately the purpose of making a documentary this is congo is just to wake people up as to there is a civil war civil slash ongoing confrontation and war and in congo that people have forgotten about or is there an actual you know some lucian that you're trying to propose or just you know basically getting people in the direction of a solution and actionable solution. well you know. this conflict is so confusing that i think often the way we receive information about the congo are in these little three minute bites that are horrific it's either about mass rape or when a war happens or in a bowl outbreak or something like this and. when we hear about it we will swipe you know or will change the channel and i think this is a huge contributing factor to to the mystification of this conflict and we don't understand it we kind of turn it off so the hope of this film is that through being
4:15 am
able for through a viewer being able to identify with the different characters in the film the characters that are being impacted by this conflict. it will not necessarily provide you with answers or solutions but the viewer will walk away with a thirst to know more they have a bit of a foothold so they understand a bit more about the context the history of the country how things are kind of going this direction but the hope is that the next time something pops up on the airwaves that the viewer can say oh wait only dig a bit deeper male don't read a book or look up another you know new source or i'll not change the channel yeah so education is going to be the foundation of the solutions to these issues. at least this is the device we're trying to use deet did you find in terms of your analysis that there was an intentional mr action or manipulation that
4:16 am
was evident from the media portrayal of the conflict now and say mr direction but you know the media is a business you know we need to fill the air say with myself into what we're trying to fill these slots with information. and especially the way things are operating today when when the morning's news is dominated by tweets sometimes it's almost impossible for a condo in. congress conflict in a real way to get in there so we can understand it you know you can't sum up things into a three minute report. or so i think that's that's a huge contributing factor and it speaks to. the shortcomings of the media system itself. the nelson firing california tore through over two thousand acres before being declared one hundred percent contained this weekend however when the wildfires rage right towards the salon account a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals the vacant phil police
4:17 am
department stepped up and as you can see from this body cam footage officers quite literally ran into the building housing about sixty cats and dogs and one by one managed to save them all as well as one volunteer who would cross the fire line illegally to save the animals and the first place now while the animals are safe there is a lot of work ahead for the ass pca sauna county as they lost much of their refrigerated medications and vaccines in the fire which will all need to be replaced along with bedding and general cleanup so here's to the vacant hill police volunteers for reminding us what community actually mean it's great that's really nice to see and i'm glad to see this is the good thing when the cops actually leave the body yes but that's not the kind of footage that you actually did though that was beautiful that's really commendable to them to run in the safe house. and so when you watch it it really does the sort of gets your heart that they really were i think that's the thing as we all sort of work together and make sure that we're searching out
4:18 am
for one another and that's protecting and serving yes that's the idea behind all the community policing it's supposed to be. that's the other thing that saved puppies and kittens and people already people and that's part of so proud of that remember everyone in this world we're not told to love the stuff so i tell you all i love you i am a robot and on top of the all the people watching those hawks the birds and the. here now this new attempt at a. unit of account of the. mind that will be controlled by any government so it has the chance to do what do.
4:19 am
the. keys of the bankers and they will the economists. we have no idea what so if he's doing on the vacation but she will be back on in september.
4:20 am
twitters at fake news fail the social network is accused of information as it is revealed funds diverted from our t.v. ad revenue encouraged false stories about so-called russian bots. washington gets the cold shoulder for imposing sanctions on middle east nations with iran saying there will be no negotiations with the u.s. and turkey likewise condemning its nato allies put together and then you seek to stop your strategic partner in the back. newly declassified cables reveal cia director general hospital's best involvement in the agency's torture program giving gruesome details. but you can go to our dot com for more on today's top stories coming up though sophia and co interviews award winning director oliver stone so
4:21 am
you don't want to sit there with. the welcome to. not say he won oscars called in the films are cult classics part of american consciousness now all over a stone's latest project. was to film an extensive series of interviews with russia's ludmer putin. i caught up with the director himself to talk about the experience i over sounds great have you with us today if you're having a great trip in moscow that's just got here so your book competitor extensive interviews with putin is been published by you called the putin interviews a four day a day shift climax to my strange life as an american filmmaker climax your career
4:22 am
oh this is the best thing you've ever done. you know i have to take a point of view that it could be the last film you never know time is seems more precious when you get a little bit older and as a filmmaker it's a very young profession you know and very few in america especially because he goes fast you don't get offered another chance so i felt like this was a kind of a climax not that it's a feature film but that it's the most safe at this time in history the most forbidding character. to american media to merrick and western europe to i think forbidding kind of. cross into the into another world i'm glad i got here i mean i did mr castro and i did mr chavez i did mr arafat's and also as a young who was
4:23 am
a character when he was out of office back when he was out of office he's now in power forever it seems but these characters all led me to this moment with mr putin . anna frankly i enjoyed the meeting him i met him originally on the at the on one of my trips to russia because i was interviewing snowden a lot we were doing research with ed and a lot of the movie and soden was represents what ad this point of view was so getting that information took time and we came back and we're trying to be accurate the last scene of the movie was shot in moscow so after a by one i met mr putin which is in the back room of a theater in the moscow a play an old like hundred sixty s. play he was attending to promote folkloric culture. we met in the back and i asked him about mr snowden and he gave me the russian version his version of what happened which was fascinating different than what we had been told
4:24 am
in the public newspapers and so forth but anyway long telling the story quickly is getting back to the end of the movie of snowden we shot in moscow to a weekend with with ed and then we turned around a few days later and we went to the kremlin and we shot mr putin over three days and. at that time we didn't know if this would go on who was simply you know take it as it comes like you're doing and play it by ear it was spontaneous i gave melissa quick questions i was areas that i was going to cover but it wasn't limited he didn't say it was totally spontaneous i didn't have any limitation you know all the way to us and as you can see by every day look different he was always the same he looked very together i was sometimes. but here was blown in the way and. i guess i changed appearances several times but. in other words i'm the opposite of
4:25 am
an american actor i don't look like megan kelly i don't look like you even. sam that's a compliment. i know what kind of great effort it takes to get that kind of accent but. that's not easy i mean a lot of russian journalists and top journalists don't get that kind of access right and i know how much effort it took you to make this happen and make it come together and then the minute this comes out it was so talked about in russia and obviously the whole american press right away lash out are you saying yourself flattering to certain that you're about entry or just want to do you care it is again it under your skin because that's a lot of work you do it with putting it was a lot of work but i didn't consider my i never said i was a journalist and i didn't pretend to be what i well that this is a look i'm a movie film director you know me from the films and you may know me from some of the past interviews i did with the public figures but i'm not pretending to be
4:26 am
anything else i know you said in response that you know you don't have an opinion about anything that you're doing that you're nurture all well the opinions of james because then i'm talking about the putin movie but at the same time i watched a series you said a lot of flattering things about you know do you feel like you manage to stay objective and neutral. i don't buy it and i think if you see the movies i do it's not the high try to stick to what i feel is the truth and i don't take i didn't say one false word to mr p. at all i did say what i meant it when i said it when i said to him and one of the i think one of the first the things i said was it strikes me that you're this you're a son of russia because when you came into the country at a time when it was just in the dumps it was one nine hundred ninety nine two thousand the place was a mass. the real economic story and what you did was you turned things around no one can take that away from you and i think that's one of the reasons he's still popular is that because he brought a sense of place destiny
4:27 am
a sense that we we are russian we have much to be proud of we have a history and he really is certain the concept of a sovereign country which was crucial because russia was not a sovereign country from approximately ninety one two to two thousand it was losing that sovereignty completely the united states was and other people were walking all over the place and basically monitoring whatever they want and they were all over the the nuclear certainly the nuclear industry but look the point is that putin gave russia something that is really important in this world and we can get back to that because that's the bottom line is we need and curren the world we need a resistance to exist to the whole of the dominion of the united states i know that you know on talk about politics but this is a very happy type of question you have cited people. who have done movies castro chavez put in them this are strongman you know obviously have attraction to
4:28 am
strongman do you feel like this is diffused here of politics leaders like that they're very strong uncompromising. very controversial in many ways or should politics be about dialogue and political correctness well it is about the long term and these men all were open to dialogue and you can argue who did who said what to who but the point was that castro try to negotiate with the united states for a long time and he was rebuffed not only was there buff he was insulted and then they tried to assassinate him many times so you know where what is dialogue dialogue is important and mr chavez certainly had a point of view he was if you remember he shook obama's hand he really has hoping that there was going to be a new approach from the united states didn't happen so it is about dialogue it's about compromise politics and above all if i. give you an overall opinion of mr putin he said he's the ultimate negotiator you wear you out he really believes in talking out everything there's no there are certain points of interest for every
4:29 am
country has its national interests and he constantly harks on this russia has its national interests and he's open to the gut to negotiating anything but those national interests and when you cross the line. he will let you know as you know i pushed him whatever people say i pushed him and certainly i could feel his irritation when i was pushing him hard on the democracy question on this the question of his succession in what's going to happen next year there were times i riled him more than once but i am concerned and the reason i undertook the series was i was very concerned about going back to my relationship to russia what happened to the american russian relationship that had existed in two thousand if you like your film can change american perception and put in because it hurt because i'm doualy it has to some degree i tell you more than several million people saw it which is and this is on a premium cable channel showtime is not on
4:30 am
a national channel like in russia so you have a limited prescription audience that it was seen and it's seen again but it was also shown in europe in a lot of places and we had a very good debate in france i was public television channel three in france and. you've heard vedra in the x. foreign minister of mr beattie all defended the movie very well i thought against and the several other people against the opposition it was the debate was very french but in other words in europe and germany france these things matter italy very important now whether things change as a result it's hard to tell because the recently as you know the united states congress which stuns me voted almost unanimously for sanctions to be expanded against russia. this happened recently so it seems to be almost a reaction to trump. as putin says
4:31 am
a domestic politics doesn't feel like trump is trying to sort of way emulate leaders like putin behalf he is i'm not sure i can tell you what is in donald trump's had i don't think anyone can and if they tell you that i don't think he's stupid i think he's a very sharp guy and i'm sure he wrecks risp. things that he may misunderstand mr putin to so i don't know but he certainly hasn't lived up to the idea that he gave many people during the campaign that he was against any foreign of the interventions that he thought the united states it squandered its resources its assets in wars abroad so we there was his thinking that it would change but it hasn't changed not because of his willpower it that because he hasn't been able to get anywhere in his administration it behaves been stuck in gridlock from the beginning opposition has been severe also because of russia now because no let's can i ask you really that has been the excuse the has been attacked profoundly for
4:32 am
russia there's no evidence as yet and i've seen indicates that russia is in any collusion with mr donald trump i mean he's not this meant suring candidate and i thought there was a surprisingly stupid story but it got a lot of traction in america which worries me and shows you how frankly stupid the american voter can be if you believe that i don't believe most of them do but i could i don't know that the polling is off on it doesn't make sense if you're saying no one that is elected gets to change the system does it even in america what for in america yeah well that's what mr putin says at the end of the interview if you remember he says he's been through four presidents and i asked him what's changed and he said basically nothing. so he's indicating that there's a bureaucracy he called it a bureaucracy in america they call it a deep state a bureaucracy that has been resistant to change certainly the policies towards russia have for the most part united states been highly negative since one thousand nine hundred seventy since the revolution when mr wilson president wilson said
4:33 am
american troops to siberia to join the british expeditionary force.
4:34 am
america was never great was founded on the rape and murder. nothing changed so we said all response to these situations that we do in the ways. people get there we go the day she is just people kill each other blood to kill the children. how many 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 is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why this is the reason i
4:35 am
have to run like this is a reason. while come back to sophie and co now the other day i sat down with the legendary filmmaker all of are still in a moscow bookstore and ask him whether a second cold war was just a figure of speech or raised or more to it. it's a figure of speech for sure cold war it's a. very dangerous war it's on the you know you can even say that the original cold war was really a cold war where there were so many proxy wars that were fought in the name of fighting communism that you like vietnam among others korea.
4:36 am
you wonder how many people died in the name of that cold war you know millions of a third world people have been hurt after all over africa there was battles. and certainly in them we've seen now in the middle east we've seen enormous amount of damage. the specter of communism doesn't work anymore the united states was not able to use that but there is this and haran carry over in fact and i'm sure that's in the minds of those congressmen when they vote against it for the expansion of russians actions in their mind it's some form of the old russia and they can't get they can't get one side of the line away in the eighty's in the ninety's how come it came back so strongly i mean what is it going to take for that paradigm to disappear from american mind generation was quite surprised by that i was in fact shocked i talking to mr gorbachev was one of the most wonderful moments of my life
4:37 am
it was i felt in one thousand nine hundred ninety in my lifetime was a spring springtime of hope a new feeling that this thing was going to change you know that the the wall came down. all the europe eastern european countries expressed love bloodless revolution really a bloodless revolution and russia. relatively both. and i was mr gorbachev you know was not the crime in america we saw him as a lion as a hero and in this country of course he was seen as a weak man who had lost control of this of this empire so it's a whole different view of it and i've been see mr gorbachev since then i've been through his criticisms of mr putin and i have to say the last time i saw him he said that mr putin is the guy for now whatever they say because america has violated that compact he made in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine that
4:38 am
nato would not go east one inch if the germany's were united he allowed for that and that has not happened nato has been accelerated under you know dunder the american under clinton and and bush and obama. so and mr gorbachev has pointed out also the the what mr putin says is they greedy on the abrogation of the a.b.m. treaty by the by bush by mr bush in two thousand and one was a vast mistake it and it undermines the nationals the the balance of power that exists between the two countries on top of that you have the american support putin the scent of terrorists in the caucasus on top of that you have opposing points of view on ukraine obviously and mr putin states his case very clearly in this book what his case is which americans don't hear and on top of that you have syria which again it's amazing to me how under reported that war is. archie has covered one of
4:39 am
our yemen aren't you guys how are some to report any and i don't have a laundry list i want to add more about this and the context in which this book came out fills in a weird way that when the actual cold war is in place it was just clean cut you know you had to sidestep where against each other and now for me it's so much more scarier because the world is marked by paul or and there's so much house around and everyone's trying to pull it all on themselves and all the conflicts that you just mentioned and many more that we didn't mention are going on because of that and we don't understand how they're going to end or if they going to end it's always messy . you're young like you know you must be in your son or not that young but you think you know i would i guess you know to me the original cold war was very confusing and not so clean us against them in fact i went to vietnam
4:40 am
as a young man believing that we were fighting communism in other words there were a lot of disguises and when you look back at the whole history of that period as we tried to do untold history the united states i would have to tell you that it's very clear that it was a farce that the united states really pulled the wool over the world's eyes and declaring and making the soviet union the fall guy after having won world war two they made them the fall guy for war two two and equated hitler with stalin and also all this stuff going on it comes out of the this misunderstanding of what that first cold war was. america has spent a fortune fighting this war and it's deprived its own people us the american people of better education better system more security health welfare all these things that are giving us problems now this social net that's disappearing could have come out of that instead of beans the the money being spent on the cold war so we paid
4:41 am
a huge price for it and it never let up i remember in eighty nine there was talk of a peace dividend they talk of it what happened to the peace dividend a few weeks after the berlin wall fell mr bush sr was. going into iraq sending five hundred thousand troops to the middle east and i pointed out it was a big thing because we went when we sent five hundred thousand troops to vietnam was actually under lyndon johnson that was a huge deal in the press made a big big number out of that not not since world war two that we knew those numbers were too big we were fighting with too many men we don't it won't work it was too big and what happened we forgot about it reagan mr reagan helped a lot with his campaign to forget the vietnam war and we were sending a half million men again abroad to fight in the middle east we never got out of the middle east. i made a movie about it called w in which dick cheney the dick cheney's character have
4:42 am
been asking what what's our exit policy says there is no exit and the truth is we haven't there is no exit to iraq we're here those five hundred thousand men in one form or another have never left the middle east so this is heartbreaking stuff if you have any sense of history. i knew it was a mistake i thought the iraq war one was a huge mistake i thought there was plenty of room to negotiate when films like that come out w for instance or at the untold history of the united states i want to even mention how as a percent in america and you pretty much denounce a lot of tropes and facts in american history i can't tell you it's easy but i think it's the most some of the most important work i've done in my life i'm very proud of those two films i paid a price for because i guess some people would you know they don't consider me in the debate but neither do they consider people like noam chomsky so there is no center in the united states political discourse it's all center right ever since
4:43 am
the clinton camp people came into power the center right has become the right and there's no peace party that exists in my country and i don't see any evidence of it except this third party that is so criticized the green party among others arrows make fun of it. you know why i don't know me so well a year in america i always had the feeling the democrats would the the people at least we were concerned about peace now that seems to have been squandered that feeling is squandered and i don't sense any any sense of consensus the only one who did it was bernie sanders and if you remember correctly he very rarely mentioned foreign policy he stayed away from it because he knew that was a third rail for him and he was to socialistic for america to actually well i don't know much about because america may hand up in relatively has to go at least may have to go more socialistic in order to survive because if things fall apart and we continue to have crises after crises stock market explosions and so forth and
4:44 am
meltdowns there has to be a you know i'm right and they want no way to trump to change something but remember a mr obama song what was it seven hundred fifty billion dollars into the economy that's i would call that a socialist move. so you know where the united states is going is a very it's interesting i think i'm going to try to stick around and see because i think that's a great question it sounds i mean just to be on the sidelines and see what happens it could get really ugly and be pretty nasty too in terms of casualties and of course united states i would skip i'm scares me in the sense that they might lose it's self control. out of the sense of panic and fear attack. this concept that russia is responsible for everything isn't saying but it's very easy to to resort to that kind of nineteenth early one nine hundred fifty s. primitivism like a joe mccarthy i was told when i was
4:45 am
a young boy the soviets are in our schools they're in our colleges they are there they're creeping into our system where the soviets are going to take us over without even a war that was i heard this from serious people. you know as you have to allow that this mentality exists and when you're around a vigilante mob that hangs people it's scary because you common sense goes out the window it's the first thing and decency and humanity you go out the window so it scares me that mentality see now that you know a lot about politics you know politicians and you know something about scripts give me a scenario of how this should work out. a reality are you asking for a movie from my point of view from the american side it's not going to happen any other way and that's what's frightening because i don't see that russia can take any initiative at this point except for surrender with completely all your nuclear arms and you have a regime change mr putin resigns which is insane zuffa to happen because the
4:46 am
russian people support him i don't see any way out right now. no third parties do exist they come into being there's de gaulle's that come up for charles de gaulle you hope for a french leader or a european leader i was very disappointed in merkel throughout this whole process because she knows better she knows the real story of ukraine she doesn't fall for it because her foreign minister was involved they knew they knew what was going was a coup d'etat they prayed and but in other words there's has to be some kind of european leader the kind of thing you know to america and i think you know that's one way of putting it mr de gaulle i was around when mr goss said no to america that was quite really have friends you know look young to you i mean they have. their own way of going to go is really a proud man and proud for france. one hopes for that but there's other ways that the blocks can be broken there's of course china that's
4:47 am
a huge number but the united states is to hit a hard line on china doesn't say it like it does say it about russia but the reason that we're arming korea to the degree that we are and japan is truly against the chinese to encircle the chinese. but i worry about korea because we again have so much or so many arms we put into japan and korea. you know these things can but it can blow up in a second it's like a tinderbox. well it doesn't look good at your age i would like to live out the rest of my life you know what do you do what do you do you bringing attention to it that's the best you can do right now. to my view you should make at movie about that and you shouldn't certainly not in your career i thought it was an increase of four hundred s. when i did this because i did care and i want to i want i want peace to have a chance and i think every time i talk to mr putin over those thirty hours i never sensed any other desire in his part but to have
4:48 am
a balance of power respect for each other sovereignty and a sense of peace in the world here and that's what people don't accept from him. they can't believe that this man who was they consider a villain is a piece. oliver stone thank you very much i was so. think. in a world of big partisan movies a 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
4:49 am
stop slamming the door on the fast 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 a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it's meaningless in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying and there's just no really hasn't been that we hear even many of the dems families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want to that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying.
4:50 am
not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.
4:51 am
ergo it is founded on a rape in a murder. nothing changed so we send all response to these situations still feeling. sad every other day she is keshav people kill each other black people kill each other so it was just no way sad people are going to just sit back and allow our children to shut down for some of these countries doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us this is kept me happening in america.

4:54 am
you can talk what a machine as a machine so you can have a real conversation about real life and feelings in what people are going through what a machine what a robot. you can only do. stroller robots got to be taken down in a polish is when they made a constitution and all this but it really was a made for me. why people don't want to live next to black people and so he created soap suburbs and small little time is the flight for you since lower speeds small of its existence can sell a lot of flats and this a lot of homes sold in stag poor people just back to back on top of each other.
4:55 am

4:56 am
that the police will not allow that. because he called. she was something you have a nice. school she misses you the peace she was the easy going to get to see gets up on the phone is just an image so should you come for your money tree poverty creates crime destiny where you get rid of poverty you get rid of crime you sample is that simple people are poor here this is one of the lowest minimum wages in the country cost them police harassment. the drug epidemic like it's a lot of different factors that you're dealing with heard that. white supremacy benefits from that the capitalistic government benefits from and we see in here we start so
4:57 am
people look at us they think body just savages on a animals what they have they don't want to do better is not that we don't have opportunity to do better. or worse. is a safe to go here and still. bent on your belief in god the net and something that happened last year definite possibility. no guarantees in life mr.
4:58 am
cyclists has probably more abandoned houses and any other city in america its size . people. with children they you know they move to the county they move to suburbs for better schools and for. safer streets and all that kind of stuff. there was a man. i was looking for you is a water how you doing that to keep you fit hold they have me i love my love that will keep you fit i. was going to bang. coming and going to get you to you know when we got all the stuff just good to get to all to the south to sandwiches yeah oh sorry that's our brother. yeah you go. his mom passed that's right he's a pretty good zoom and i do her spirit everything that he say and i thought a little bar would say one of the one of the advice to me is always do. it all here
4:59 am
sometimes you run the people that you just really glad to see when you get out here that's what i was going this one of the brothers i was really glad to say i'm. sorry joe. jones. believe that anything that happens in a person's life is not random. and that there is a divine design behind it. baptized a young man i was passing the church in west to grow old missouri and i baptize him if watching bury him and seventeen. and i had to do his funeral and watch his
5:00 am
mother his grandmother whom i'm very close to god started speaking to me about the violence then and very young eulogize as a young woman who was shot in the head in broad daylight in a park in front so they had these things just kept happening these young people just kept dying who were in my sphere of influence and believe that god was speaking to me about going into the streets then and i decided then that it just made sense for me to go out where the violence is and interact and engage the best way i could. and that's what we believe one person at a time one street at a time one neighborhood at a time. national people strong feelings also after the death of my rail more people were shot more people were robbed. it's becoming more and more bad.
5:01 am
news. of yours. comes you do see one. man move you move your money comes you name of mine mine more risk. more risk. more rest in their. first love i think first and only person. i have the proper rest. are you that are missing here and if. there is integrity rest in them smiling rocks and rest in their grinding prestonpans notwithstanding. he made a. family of the boy why do he was executed he was hanging around black kids and so in america if you hang around they treat you like. the truman and black people.
5:02 am
don't work. like that. with the. bad. news. for you were done for you good words. good. morning quarterback. really good news not. the car. ok. i'm. ok we're. doing ok.
5:03 am
the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants.
5:04 am
costume dramas to us that's a lot of sympathy i want to take on most of enter and i want us to sum this up but i think many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sides of the refuse to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities how to best person as banco mom. mostly to point out i've ended up best when i get i'm in a lot of class and they want that. they have the water they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house all over for the gravels because both of you have this the who can be about the deal to go without a said sit struggles of many couples won't. kill the chap the pushkin put impulse response both of you out to the pub do it most of the. in the courts a day is
5:05 am
a police officer ex police officer jason. jason stokley and he's up for a first degree murder stop in saudi fires four shots with just chilling sweat stop the trust returns to the police vehicle to drop off onto shrapnel and to rummage through a duffel bag stokley was heard saying drug pursuit was going to kill smith. no i think that the end of the day he's not going to charge they don't let him walk like they let everybody else walk this man lost his life and not the last fall the loss of life not just mere success that's all we are know to make sure that i don't have and. i do think the revolution the real revolution my cap and soon i think that will happen sooner than like another uprising in ferguson all think is gone is gone look like a lot of people die and now they're going to a lot of bullets. but for some people in this country that's always been the
5:06 am
reality of dying in bullets if we fight in a real way beyond the signs in the streets day yeah it'll change. that. that. you. believe or. not. you. can. you know i don't see his
5:07 am
car saw. some. i don't know what to leave him alone as. he struggles with addiction i met him. right after his son was murdered. i just. few blocks from here. and we keep coming consistently and in time we're able to build real trust and have real relationships. with. most of the people out here are not bad people they are it's not a bad situation not at all not at all. like one night. we had sort of been warned about coming up here
5:08 am
and walking that way. so one night we were just sitting up here resting. in. this dark four door think chevrolet pulled up the windows were really really said ten it real dark. and they just pulled up on us real slow. and i was sure that that night we were going to get a shot. of the shootings these days take place as people are driving around the shootings take place in cars. it was on now. now we've been doing this joe years now man has come on people pass our sandwiches give our water thank you thank you thank you god bless you thank you all right now . all right. that another
5:09 am
very. dangerous here. so i don't really know what to expect just to be honest with you so. now that helicopter there is a police helicopter. that we call the. and over. there looking for someone. we have what we call the the del mar divide where one part of the north of delmarva is red lined and neglected it's abused via neglect.
5:10 am
and the other side you know you get all the services and all the opportunities that most white americans enjoy. probably the scariest time was in the first month that we started walking and this young guy came out of a building with a gun cursing me calling me all kinds of snitches and everything and i asked the group to go on ahead and they had because one of the rules is if anybody gets shot it should be me. several gunshots rang out late wednesday morning in the p. one hundred block of south east one suspect shot you know. seventh two thousand and seventeen. i got a phone call from my father around ten fifty four that my son was dead that the count's killed him.
5:11 am
my father said that my son ran into his room and. said grandpa get down stay down around that some i was trying to break in my father asked who was shooting and my son said i don't know grandpa i love you so. he walked a couple stops inside. by the dining room and said please don't shoot please don't shoot. and then they burned my son. they began they just keep shooting. was just a wonderful show man who was so strong right he had
5:12 am
a relationship with all of the like rob rather we talk about things beyond just just protesting. and you know police brutality and he had a lot of compassion and a lot of heart and a lot of desires to do things greater then you know just stand in the forest people stay in the forest people are also breeding them to give them advice on the whole is a real integrated dream. according to the taj he was shot in the birth of. i definitely agree with them enough going to say says. and with them enough people with no hopes of what half of the currency. is to hit lease it's a hit list with names and seales name was on a hit list mine is on a hit list several of the people that was involved in his movement name is on his it lease we get daily threats from the k.k.k. and other white supremacist groups we get threats from police law enforcement
5:13 am
government officials and we also got to deal with the same oppression here and i'm able who is cause we call from the streets we've got a deal where rivals is a reason i have to rally like this is a reason. it's a reason. oh. well. and whose holy faith let us now sincerely and reverently declare i believe in god the father almighty make of him in earth and in jesus christ his only son all the what was good seen by the holy ghost born of the virgin mary so up in the pontius pilot was crucified been bearing the burden you know rolls moment he ascended to heaven sitting on the right.
5:14 am
bank and now gone poor souls of persons that we counted as we walked the streets at night he prayed god in the name of jesus as he sometimes of those streets i just want to scream and say stop using stop soulik each other stop drinking destroying it i. want to see. the hungry in the hurting everywhere. bless this nation. in the name of jesus. i'm just putting the word that i am fighting for my son i want to answer this m.r. go stop until i get the. file of the person who did it i want answers why they came in and show my soul with a dead. first post and protect us but our children. and their.
5:15 am
lives the fact that we take dragged down the street without being arrested is the fact that we can't feed our seals because this is a food desert it is no money coming into the schools no no. these kids don't even take books on the homework is not enough books for them to take books on the new home was not a given job because i'm black because this country is built off of black oppression and black pain deaths which made people say you know what retard it is. a wall will give you your feel bad lose the problem of government we won our freedom and we won enough not to.
5:16 am
5:17 am
i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us is over twenty
5:18 am
trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra 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 number you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it's meaningless in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict just found innocent the idea that we more executing innocent people is
5:19 am
terrifying and the is just no way that hadn't been that we were even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the debt belly here is because that's what murder victim's families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. just. how. i. laughed. ah.
5:20 am
twitter is fake news that fail the social network is accused of posting dissin from ation as it is revealed funds diverted from r.t.e. ad revenue encouraged to false stories about so-called russian bots. washington gets the cold shoulder for imposing sanctions on middle east nations with iran saying there will be no negotiations with us and turkey likewise condemning its nato allies. together and then you seek to stop your strategic partner in the back . merely the classified cables reveal cia director gina past involvement in the agency's torture program giving gruesome details. we will bring you a full news update in about an hour's time with my colleague coming up next though
5:21 am
on our to international. migration crisis but in the u.k. and ireland it is the economics of debt on the renegade. welcome to crossfire. all across the western world the so-called melting pot is melting down immigration legal and illegal is probably the most contentious and divisive issue energizing voters in italy for example the right and left have united on the issue in germany the government may collapse and trump has made this his signature cause. this quote sustained.
5:22 am
stocking immigration i'm joined by my guest john laughlin in paris he is a historian and specialist in international affairs we have roland benedict or he is the co-director of the center for advanced studies eurex research and in her god that we have niemeyer he is a german journalist and author all right gentlemen crossed rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciated and i did go to john first in paris and i just kind of kicked this whole discussion off by an observation i've had over the last few weeks and months particularly with the events going on in the united states it appears that virtual signalling has replaced policy and debate because all we're supposed to do is to think emotionally about this and not use our heads and i think this is what the establishment media and establishment parties want us to think that way to address this issue and if we stop birches signaling maybe we could come up with some solutions your thoughts
5:23 am
john. well there's a lot of propaganda involved isn't there peter i mean we've just seen in the events on the mexican border these very propagandistic pictures of children are supposedly being separated from their parents i'm sure your viewers will remember the picture of the poor little kurdish boy on a turkish beach the dead body of a little boy he was a victim of the migration crisis in the broadcast of his photo was used to elicit sympathy for the plight of migrants and it worked very well but when boy of the same age was killed in a terrorist attack in barcelona the policy was not to show his dead body out of respect for him and for his family so we can see that these images are being used to drive a political agenda and that is the problem the problem is that this immigration is being driven by a political agenda. it is being driven by a political agenda of european states who are demographically weak the demographic
5:24 am
pyramid is inverted there are more old people the young people and for many years and decades now economists and policymakers have decided that in order to rectify this demographic problem in europe we need immigration we need to bring in people from outside in order to pay our pensions and that is the immigration issue. and as long as that ideology remains in place as long as the ideology is believed by these people as it is most notably in germany then i'm afraid the problem will continue ok roland you know the thing is is that this this is approach with open borders but if you believe that there are open borders then there are no borders to defend i think that's the paradox of what's happening in the western world you want to have open borders let people come in but then you can't defend your border when it's necessary go ahead roland. well. look there is no such thing like a political entity or
5:25 am
a community without borders never in history and the unique borders lie because you have to find the limits of what needed to be a few laws and that is what the lefties hulet frankfurt school you're going to must says what their system series says so borders that some seeing good or not something better when we had the in europe. city kids was very strongly left the historian to political correctness really believed in politics on new phoenician of identity and for example descending group and ended the excelled of the european consortium on political research areas and in brussels say today is that we need to define our identity as europeans much more in our european way right and in a less exaggerated cosmopolitan way because we can't live without borders because
5:26 am
if you have no borders you have no rule of law and order finish and you know where you loss of balance and we are not ok let me go to you i mean ok we have a lot of consensus here the media is for open borders the political class is for open borders but didn't know what the voters are for open borders and we're seeing it in election after election i mean isn't it time that democracy be recognized again in the european union i mean we have the austrians we have the italians we have also a new car i could use term fifth column in germany right now that it's waking up to what voters want to and they're running on these issues go ahead ralph. yes of course it's true that bordeaux myth i must say of leftists and i'm calling myself a best sign is at stake because it has not worked out and be left behind those people who already live in our country and we need to not take care of them
5:27 am
refugees who have nothing to do with the fact that do passions them up good enough anymore as was due to privatization of the pension scheme or that of a true sign of good enough or that the rent is too high for apartments those are not due to the refugee crisis but it came up with people are realizing that every left behind and they said hang on i'm a part of us i'm as well so this is but a leftist made a key mistake in the recent years and especially given two thousand and fifteen happened mrs merkel once and called it a decision said be a shock unless you are going to manage it down and people said why don't we manage with ourselves first of course there's a right wing nationalistic. parties are coming up because they take voter sentiment serious leftists to do that and especially to the german baptists have failed completely and that they stood amount of borderless like. there were no borders and
5:28 am
no states which is of course not true there are states and beneath states of course and otherwise we have a mickey no one wants to live in imo you must think does this also bring stalin demarco government because she lost control yet but john you know the the interesting thing is that with these waves of migrants or asylum seekers who are never term you want because it seems to me most of them vast majority of for economic immigrants here but you know they don't really come in on our lair jets do they to germany they don't know they don't fly into airports they kind of walk through the continent you know that's what makes me feel really bad for the. greeks and the italians ok i mean if germany wants those people fine with it's not being done the right way even according to e.u. law that's ok so i mean if germany cannot be that the decision maker of immigration in europe that is intensely and i democratic and against the rules of the european
5:29 am
union go ahead john you know there's no doubt that the rules are being broken because indeed germany by saying that a million refugees are welcome and then by trying to offload them onto other members of the european union worlds indeed breaking refugee law and breaking the european union's own rules that's for sure i'm in strong agreement with what roland said about borders and the need to protect them but i have a different conclusion i disagree that this is a european problem and indeed i think that the or that this can be solved with european measures and i think that the the reflex position of european leaders which is to say that we need to european solution to this problem is precisely wrong it is precisely the fact that we have a european union with a borderless internal space the showing an area which has caused the migration problem in the first place i first visited the song at camp near cali in
5:30 am
the late one nine hundred ninety s. the migration crisis that we're talking about now didn't start in two thousand and fifteen it started in the one nine hundred ninety s. when italy joined the schengen zone and from that moment onwards the borders of the mediterranean were on the english channel here and there is a direct relation of cause and effect and what we saw in two thousand and sixteen after hungary and and the other countries built fences to close off the balkan route is that national solutions are the ones that solve this problem not european ones and we are now i hope seeing the same result. with the italians who are taking matters into their own hands nationally defending their national territory and it's only by doing that with because they have that the navy they have the ability to do it that their solution will end prior to the imposition of national solutions the habits walls and it's a very bad structural problem in the e.u.
5:31 am
it was that countries would simply let the migrants in like greece and italy and then send them north to germany in other words they were there were bigger the neighbor policy which is a structural problem in the so i think we need to finish with this idea that the solution is european the problem is european role in the the arguments that the left in the media have made is that it's already been mentioned this program think it was you demographics the need the need for workers new workers but i mean looking at the evidence i don't see a lot of these migrants particularly since two thousand and fifteen are employed across the european union they do take state benefits and in most of the country the european union have austerity so you have very large youth unemployment so why the same polls to keep bringing in more people and less it just cheap labor go ahead roland. you know this is a new especially if we can go count the current trend to work out some of the
5:32 am
station. large parts of the traditional labor force especially blue collar workers will be dismissed over the coming years and unfortunately malls. to europe do not have an indication do not have any chance of qualification. a recent study of. a ministry of labor. it was very difficult to qualify more than twenty to twenty five percent of all coming over the coming years to get a job and you track the job acceptance rate employment rate of migrants and refugees is very. lol so this is indeed a problem and this is a myth and then he's partly to being dismissed because it will always less correspond to the truth but let me just say something to my previous speaker. in many ways of his opinion that we need
5:33 am
a dramatic change in immigration policy because we cannot go on like this and i think more and more europeans have understood that is as the recent elections all over europe have shown ok on the end i gentlemen i have to jump in here we're going to go to a short break and after that short break we'll continue our discussion on immigration state with our kids. so here now this new attempt at
5:34 am
a global unit of accountable currency big oil that will be controlled by people not any subtle government has the chance to do what galt failed to do to escape the te's of the central bankers and the ph d. will the economist. the ways of the united states is dangerous for moost of the illegal immigrants. who are most of the little simple they want to become lost in the us to some just about but many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentries sides of the refuse to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities. bank of mom . mostly to morrow and then head up or somehow get them in a lot less than the one that. they have the water they all choose to stay in the
5:35 am
country with donald trump in the white house over political rivals. both of the who could beat up to the top of the old said it's trouble to many couples. deal with the put. both of you up with a few of the. welcome back to cross talk we're all things considered i'm peter were discussing immigration. ok let's go back to roland you want me right before we do the rick you want to finish your point please do. you know i just wanted to say that i am not going into this of the same opinion in one crucial point which is i think we need more of europe and not less europe to solve the crisis and i give you a practical example today we have to harmonize the seal of laws and it is the most
5:36 am
urgent issue to solve today it is possible that a migrant that is not accepted in one country for example in germany can just switch country and restart applying in another country for example it needs a prince and if you doesn't succeed kiyoshi doesn't succeed there they just switch on and go further we have to how nice their laws to accept and see because we have to harmonize to reduce duration and of course we have to harmonize that a collaboration of secure the country so the regent for example germany has the clear parts of afghanistan a secure country and doesn't accept the just sweep streets elite in their accepted because italy has not declared parts of afghanistan to secure so we have urgently to find transnational european solutions to these problems otherwise we will not be able to stop the crisis ok i can see in paris john is really disagreeing let me go
5:37 am
to ralph well quickly it seems to me that roland you want to create the united states of europe and everything to date shows that's not what people want no one ever asked the europeans if they ever wanted that route let me go to you are not a very important issue there isn't being brought up here and this applies to the united states and europe is that there are criminal gangs making a fortune off of this scam ok bringing people in their n.g.o.s you know they do gooders but no they're blinded by ideology they're there pat they're ideologically possessed they have a hatred for their own culture a hatred for europe they want to just wipe it away and fill it up with foreign alien people i'm sorry to sound so politically incorrect but that is true. it would particularly the criminal gangs in and out of the mexican south of in the back mexican border and all through the mediterranean you have a lot of people preying on some very weak people and i'd like to point out also that it's often forgotten the people that do want to immigrate to the united states
5:38 am
and to europe they should stay in their own country and build their own country ok and set of having the west have to subsidize them in their own country where they laughed ok that's a lot said right there go ahead ralph. yeah but i do agree to a certain extent because i once raised a question movement a press conference with mrs merkel and she made the same mistake that many people do it was also in our discussion here not that we mix migration issues the asylum you know to uphold the asylum the rights of a side which is a human right and we have to uphold to those who need it we cannot make step issue but my question now what i do agree with is that what we see at the moment at the mexican border is probably a step up by deep state or by some people who want to make mr trump act mr trump was not on your because he remembers what happened to do this is murder of an untreated suddenly at the refugees coming in and that is what's advertised as the bucket route by the media not to beginning up this year sometime in spring i
5:39 am
watched a program on c.n.n. there was a colleague on the report a colleague i'm going on a bus tour from central america to watch the. u.s. border and reporting from it and advertising it kind of saying i would as a way to go to the united states of course you can instigate and obviously it's the trump is facing because now i'm. crying children and parents being arrested of all that i don't think that he wants to see that it's now a fact that they want to carry a red tape like did it with mrs merkel and the only two time state and government in the last twelve years one decision was was about a financial crisis and she bumped. billions into banking systems ending brings us to the second decisions he made during the twelve year reign was in two thousand to say ok these people sleeping on a train station stick and car but after that she lost control and. or right
5:40 am
wing parties and left to make a mistake especially germany i see don't do much about what to do sentiments of people we are able to take many more it's not a problem because we are a rich country but we have to take care of people who are already in germany first and then we can say. my purpose but asylum should be separate from that because there is no limit to the human rights you know john a lot has been said since you last spoke there and i can read your mind this far away that more europe is not the solution juxtaposition what our friend roland had to say go ahead john. yes i wanted to come back to that point in response to the question you asked about the economic rationale you rightly put your finger on the paradox that immigration is justified economically because it keeps wages down and gives a supply of cheap labor and so on but that in reality of course many of the
5:41 am
migrants end up being out of work and in any case there's a lot of youth unemployment in europe by asking that question peter you have highlighted the point i made in my first answer namely that the ideological reasons that i referred to which are european are not motivated by economic good sense we can have a debate about whether or not you need cheap labor britain by the way is an economic model for that because britain has imported millions of low cost workers from poland and romania since two thousand and four and we've seen the effects of that on the economy an increase in g.d.p. and a collapse in productivity but that's not what's driving the immigration ideology it's. it's precisely not economic rational it is instead ideology you know it's important to recall that one of the founding fathers of the european integration is movement richard fun couldn't who in one nine hundred twenty five called for the
5:42 am
races of europe to be mixed with other bloods for the european race to be mixed with other bloods in order to create a new european of the future he had a sort of racialist if you except the other way around from the nazis who wanted racial mix city racial diversity and this idea which he first published in one thousand twenty five he's a big figure he was the first president of the of the council of europe for example this idea remains alive today in the minds of european leaders particularly incidentally german ones. now president of the. for many years the german minister of finance said in an interview indeed site in two thousand and sixteen that if we didn't have migrants and we kept them out then europe would descend into incest he used the word incest and similarly the german president york in the dark said we needed migrants to get rid of the idea that meat being german means being white and being christian so there is a very clear ideological drive here to inject
5:43 am
a new populations into europe in order to change the structure of those populations and that is part of the european dream it's part of the post national european but just goes very very giant and that's why our europe is not the other how would that make europe better i don't get it ok i travel to europe all the time i don't see it's improving i see it's declining rapidly go finish up john. peter peter the bolshevik revolution didn't make russia better but that didn't mean that people didn't believe in it they believed in it because it's an ideology it's a post national ideology which these people want to implement by replacing the population in their crazy minds that's what they're doing ok we're all in it you know italy has been hit very hard by this immigration crisis we can use that word i mean shouldn't italy on its own be able to decide what happens with inside its
5:44 am
borders i mean why is it waiting for merkel ways and waiting for brussels why is it waiting for this summit that's going to happen in the weekend i mean italy's a sovereign country can it should take care of its people first particularly if they are they required by debit so you think it's critical right now go ahead roland and it at talian have to decide for themselves go ahead well i did that is exactly what is happening now after the last elections of march for we have the biggest issue to do right ever in. world war two history need to lead and in fact the new government is blocking ngo ship saying they are not democratically controlled the new government is seeking to put this impatient of spain and he's putting merkel especially in german chancellor under strong pressure to try and determine solution only solution is needed in europe is to control the out of borders we have to retake control as being council president on the
5:45 am
ball and stay there ready to go in for and we have to regain control of for up to borders yellow whatever that's what about it i'm sorry all right what about italy's borders what about italy's borders isn't that the first thing you should be thinking about first and italians or yeah the second thing is that in this point you're absolutely right italy is forced to take control over its own borders. more or less alone why i gave you an example from official agency of border protection in europe. and features four hundred four collaborators to protect the whole of. europe and has total budget of two hundred eighty one million which is one hundred s. of work germany alone spends a year for the refugees which is a disproportioned it cannot be upheld weir's known portion that yeah that's an
5:46 am
understatement my friend is that's an understatement ok amazing let me go to rouse here i mean ralph if we could put put aside all the ideology and all of the virtues signaling what so what some concrete things to do in the united states i think there should be built a wall then there won't be any children torn from their parents ok it won't happen what can your do as a first step in your mind a practical step. but i had a i'm from a quest for a limb and i know how it is to live on that island surrounded by a wall and we don't want to see walls anymore but. i understand that in the united states it's a different start and of course the wall that was to keep people from fleeing from dare come in to a country so it's a bit different of course to compare these two was generally i think there has to be better ways now as europe means we should commonly discuss how we can bank live in countries where migrants have to leave their country because they feel not
5:47 am
safe the second point is the kind of course groups things in those countries fighting negotiating d.e.v.'s to your in partnership agreements of africa i've spent a lot of time now in africa at the moment and you know you see dr ralph we're almost out of time but one thing the west could do is stop bombing those countries so these people won't flee ok that would be a good practical step we've run out of time gentlemen many thanks to my guests and parents and we got there and thanks to our viewers for watching us here at r.t. see you next time and remember crosstalk.

5:59 am
believe that anything that happens in a person's life is not random. and that there is. divine design behind it. baptized a young man it was passed in the church and we have to grow missouri and i baptize him if watching bury him and seventeen. and i had to do his funeral and watch his mother his grandmother whom i'm very close to god started speaking to me about the violence then and very young eulogize a young woman who was shot in the head in broad daylight in a park in front so they had these things just kept happening these young people just kept dying who were in my sphere of influence and believe that god was speaking to me about going into the streets then and i decided then that it just made sense for me to go out where the violence is and
6:00 am
interact and engage best welcome. and that's what we believe one person at a time one street at a time one neighborhood at a time. natural people strong feelings also after the death toll by rail more people were shot more people were robbed. it's becoming more and more bad. news. out of your hearts. comes you just want to. move you or move your money no you name of mine mine more risk more risk. more breast implant. breast love i think breast and. breast. moderate risk. that are missing here in this.
6:01 am
instance angering breast and now it's going round and breast in their growing breast and having nothing happen. if you made a. good one why do he was executed he was hanging around black kids and so in america if you hang around they treat you like on the day the truman and black people. don't work. like that. you. crack. me. up for you what does he want to do. what exact.

right back. to the car. i'm. doing ok. back geysers financial survival guide. housing bubble. oh you mean there's a downside to artificially low mortgage rates don't get carried away that's cause
6:03 am
report. you know world of big partisan movies a 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 bad 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 a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it means to live the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying and
6:04 am
there's just no really hasn't been that we hear even many of the dems families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to get pellet here is because that's what murder victim's families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't their way. in the courts a day is a police officer explicit officer jason. jason stokley and he's up for a first degree murder stop in south fires or shot. it's with just chilling stuff to trust returns to police vehicle to drop off an unusual and to rush to a duffel bag stokley was heard saying during the perceived as she was going to kill
6:05 am
smith i. think at the end of the day he's not going to charge they don't they don't walk like they let everybody else walk this man lost his life and not the loss of all the loss of life not just yours it's just that's all we are know to make sure that i don't have and. i do think the revolution the real revolution my cap and soon i think that to happen sooner than like another uprising in ferguson thing is gone is gone look like a lot of people die and going to be a lot of bullets. but for some people in this country that's always been the reality of dying in bullets if we fight in a real way beyond the signs in the streets day yet in a change. to. look at them that.
6:06 am
you refer. back. to the good stuff. you. know i don't see as car son. he said. i don't know what to leave him alone as. he struggles with addiction i met him. right after his son was murdered. just
6:07 am
a few blocks from here. and we keep coming consistently and in time we're able to build real trust and have real relationships. with. most of the people out here are not bad people they are it's not a bad situation not at all not at all. that one night. we had sort of been warned about coming up here and walking that way. so one night we were just sitting up here resting. and this dark four door think chevrolet hold up the windows were really really said ten it real
6:08 am
dark. and they just pulled up on us real slow. and i was sure that that night we were going to get shot. a lot of the shootings these days take place as people are driving around reshooting state police cars. it was i'm now. able. now we've been doing this so years now man has come on people pass our sandwiches give our water thank you thank you thank you god bless you thank you all right now. all right. that another very. dangerous here. the. world. so i don't really know what to expect this to be honest with myself. to not have a company there is a police helicopter. what we call the get over. the look of us so much.
6:09 am
we have what we call the the del mar divide where one part of the north of del mar is red lined and neglected it's abuse the and the glen. and the other side you know you get all the services and all the opportunities that most white americans enjoy. probably the scariest time was in the first month that we saw that walk in and this
6:10 am
young guy came out of a building with a gun cursing me calling me all kinds of snitches and everything and i asked the group to go on ahead and they had because one of the rules is if anybody gets shot it should be me simple gunshots ringing out late wednesday morning a few hundred blocks southeast one suspect shot you know. june seventh two thousand and seventeen. i got a phone call from my father around ten fifty four that my son was dead since accounts killed him. my father said that my son ran into his room and. said grandpa get down stay down with brown that some i was trying to break in my father asked who was shooting and my son said i don't know grandpa i love you.
6:11 am
he walked a couple steps aside. by the dining room and said please don't shoot please don't shoot. and they burned my son. they began they just keep shooting. was just a wonderful show man who was so strong like he had a relationship we're all a mobile home i'd like rob rather we talk about things beyond just this protest. and you know police brutality and he had a lot of compassion and a lot of heart and a lot of desires to do things greater then you know just in the first people stay in the bush people are also breeding them to give them advice on the whole is

6:20 am
the headlines issues good morning washington gets the cold shoulder for imposing sanctions on middle east nations with no say no negotiations with the u.s. and turkey likewise condemning its nato allies. the latest clashes between the afghan government and the taliban that killed over one hundred civilians with washington apparently sure it's cooperating or fighting with the islamist group. anonymous international launches a probe after two suicides with the organization of blamed on pressure of work and a lack of support. was basically put in danger and my family was put in danger because of the work that i was doing with amnesty because i didn't even take the necessary precautions to protect it for having the office open.
6:21 am
by the very good morning this is art international with me kevin always just turned eighty of this tuesday first the iran's supreme leader says he won't negotiate with washington after president trump's offer to improve bilateral ties to iran faces renewed sanctions from the u.s. as does russia turkey's also being hit with tara fights for not playing ball with washington kaleb open house more on trump's diplomacy. donald trump not known for his modesty never stops bragging about the fact that he wrote the art of the deal seems that when it comes to his role as commander in chief he sees himself as almost the great negotiator and when it comes to north korea you could argue that his approach kind of worked he is a sick puppy rocket man is on a suicide mission for him so. this not make it even worse threats to the united
6:22 am
states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen since taking office donald trump has played up the so-called threat of another geo political rival of america threat posed by iran whose chief exports are violence bloodshed and chaos all nations of conscience must work together to isolate for a minute it started to look like things were cooling off and maybe talks were on the table i believe in meeting i would certainly meet with the rent if they wanted to meet and ready to meet anytime they want to but he runs the supreme leader wasn't having it let me let you go there will be no war nor will we negotiate with the us it is impossible even if someday the government of the islamic republic of iran were to negotiate with the us regime it would never negotiate with the current
6:23 am
government of the us. and then there is turkey and its detention of pastor and brunson the turkish authorities say was tied to the twenty sixteen who attempt now trump says he wants him released. the united states will impose large sanctions on turkey for the long time detainment of pastor andrew brunson this innocent man of faith should be released immediately i have just authorized a doubling of terrorists and still and with respect to turkey as the currency the turkish lira slides rapidly downward against a very strong dollar our relations with turkey are not good at this time. but turkey is going at a budge and just like trump era one knows how to talk tough not talk about we are partners and neighbor and then you stab your strategic partner in the back and we will do as the law dictates you cannot simply make sure you can bow down or buy boston us around meanwhile russia is not exactly caving in the face of sanctions
6:24 am
yes it was possible which the but if some ban on banks operations or on their use of one or another currency it would be possible to clearly call it a collaboration of economic war and it would be necessary to react to this war economically politically or if indeed by other means in our american friends and i need to understand this let's remember that those sanctions on north korea were not unilateral they were actually imposed by the united nations but when it comes to the rest of the world trump is on his own it seems that his reputation as a great negotiator is on the rocks. r.t. washington d.c. former u.s. ambassador to croatia peter galbraith told us it's unclear whether the sanctions will have the effect washington wants. the case of iran is completely different from that of north korea first these are unilateral u.s. sanctions and they are so that the entire international community except the united
6:25 am
states thinks they are inappropriate that they're wrong and in the case of iran iran feels that they had a valid agreement and that there's no lawful basis for doing it it's very hard to coerce people to do something which they think is in fact lawful and goes against their their will so i think you sanction the u.s. sanctions which are unilateral opposed by the rest of the world there are unlikely to be sanctions on turkey like the sanctions on iran i think will cause real economic pain. but again as to whether they will accomplish their purpose that's very unclear although in the case of turkey it's a little more complicated because there was that deal to refer to free reverend run and turkey simply got it patients so it's quite possible something will be worked out on that one. the u.n.
6:26 am
has confirmed that over one hundred civilians have been killed in a new wave of clashes between the taliban and afghan forces in the city of guns e. colleagues have reported that heavy fighting in gaza city in the past three days has resulted in more than one hundred civilian casualties communications networks and electricity supply are currently down in the city resulting in water shortages and food is also reportedly running low fighting there escalated on friday when the taliban attempted to still wouldn't take control that would allow the group to link unready captured areas close to the capital kabul and even trying to this morning looks at how almost two decades of american led war in afghanistan has not made the country safe. this is what's happening just a little more than one hundred kilometers from the capital kabul there's barely a camera in gaza any available to film this dreadful battle locals say there are
6:27 am
stronger descriptions than simply the tele band is back in action and if it wasn't for u.s. airstrikes the afghan army could have been in far worse trouble so it makes you wonder do american diplomats and their military keep in touch there is nothing that precludes us from gaging with the taliban we're doing everything we can to ensure that our actions help the taliban and the afghan government does the same table everything they can only a few weeks ago the state department said talking with the taliban was a good idea and regardless of how hostile their actions the extremists say they're forward to this is what we wanted and we're waiting for to sit with the us directly and discuss the withdrawal of foreign troops from afghanistan the rumor is there's already been some direct contact at least we know for sure alice wells went to
6:28 am
qatar last month where the taliban's got a political office i'm confused the armed group has all but regained its might which not so long ago earned them a reputation of outright islamist barbarians in america and pretty much all over the world we acted and the taliban no longer is in power in afghanistan which is not only good for the security of the free world it is incredibly good for the people who suffered in afghanistan on the barbaric rule time flies us administrations come and go fair enough but the things the people in charge say about insurgents today could be totally different tomorrow taliban this taliban that. the taliban are fighting isis and we encourage that because isis needs to be destroyed oh so they're good for something at least if it's about knocking out islamic state yet just
6:29 am
a few months earlier general nicholson said the taliban's fight against dyess was a piece of russian propaganda we see here a narrative that's being used that grossly exaggerates the number of isis fighters here this narrative then is used as a justification for the russians to legitimize the actions of the taliban and provide some degree of support complicated heart of ghana's stand business as usual and the american strategy for afghanistan see above the american strategy a strategy from the beginning of the so-called war on terror which was launched after the september eleventh attacks as chose or so as this war has turned out to be an utter failure. you know i was we all know taliban now is in a stronger position than it wants. two thousand and one. so hence 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.
6:30 am
involvement up until now when the focus on military force in the region has that to the growth of terrorism the taliban is not just pulling out a gun it's firing it it could be time for the pentagon and the state department to hunt for ideas together and be more precise. donald trump's parade to disk for a month ago newman after she released a scandalous recording of a being fired by the chief of staff general joan kelly. but to ask you a couple questions that the president is but then aware of don't do this not go down the road this is unknown to go she will discussion so as the controversy unfolds now many security expos are asking how to fight when they go was able to physically make that recording of what's supposed to be the most secure room in the white house.
6:31 am
when national security experts it's announced when it goes according to the serious breach of ethics and security that. i've never heard of a more serious breach of protocol not only is it not to mco something like this is unprecedented no proper employee of the white house brings funds into just situation room it's totally pretty but it is someone who spent
6:32 am
a fair amount of time in the situation room i can't even begin to wrap my head around how insane this is carried for example the cell phone into the situation room the not only did she record conversations there but so potentially has any country or criminal organization that thought. as i understand it first off the entire area where the executive office of the president operates is a secure area and the people who are in there are all cleared personnel and are expected to behave ethically as far as taking a device into the situation room that would normally not be done i'm not sure would be any procedure through or specifically checking that unless some highly classified matter were about to be discussed in there and maybe they would take other precautions but normally you would you wouldn't expect you need to do that with people that are supposed to be there in a position of trust that this opens up a whole bucket of or worms in terms of water on the procedures what are the protections and what kind of behavior can we expect in the future. the scandal sort
6:33 am

6:35 am
a good morning for me kevin watching out to international stories ahead including help for the help from the international side the stress of the job literally is leading to suicide to dead in a five week period where employees tell us the problem systematic organization will look into that in more detail the rest that chooses headlines after this break. chose seemed wrong. but old rules just don't call. me that is yet to shake out just because to add to it and in games from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
6:36 am
here now this new attempt at a. unit of accountable all kinds of big oil that will be controlled by any government that has the chance to do what they all to do to escape the keys of the central bankers and they will the economy. again international has launched external investigations into the suicide of two employees the death sparked an internal crisis about working conditions within the

human rights organization case in point first rose mcgregor she was twenty eight years old when she took her life earlier on this summer. misty she worked in geneva according to her father she developed health problems because of stress related stress and then committed suicide just a few days after returning home that happened five weeks after another suicide within the organization this time a real veteran of the sixty five year old colgate to move he was a veteran research should spend over thirty years in west africa he was found dead in amnesty's paris office he left a suicide note in which he described pressure at work and the lack of management support for honesty an employee shared her experience with us too. i was the former researcher for israel and palestine based in jerusalem i resigned in two thousand and eighteen due to security and safety issues as well as lack of support from management when it came to dealing with the stress i was basically put in danger
6:38 am
and my family was put in danger because of the work that i was doing with amnesty because i didn't even take the necessary precautions to protect the staff before having the office opened the program that amnesty had apparently had and i think it's still in place is you receive three phone calls to an external facility just to listen to you and i try to explain to them that for me this doesn't weigh and sadly i didn't even get support when it came to health insurance and medical and medical assistance that i needed there due to the stress that i was under well i promised a full and independent sort of inquiries into the earth's mr. over four hundred staff demand from the verse to go in an open letter to management pointed to the existence of support programs for employees and promises to learn from the probes assure that room of them again says people working for rights groups deserve to be protected to a lot of the journalists and a lot of human rights workers deal with these issues usually but with support from
6:39 am
the organization i think the problem with with amnesty is there was a failure in the system in understanding the importance of mental health and resilience program within the institution itself you're talking about one of the biggest human rights organizations you're sending people to the field you're sending people to document human rights violations the priority is also ensuring that these field workers and human rights activists and personnel are safe themselves before having having them report on the violations. thousands gathered in yemen on monday to mourn and bury dozens of children killed in a saudi led coalition air strike that hit a school bus the incident caused outrage was condemned around the world. women with children gathered outside the u.n. offices in the capital sanaa demanded an end to the conflict the carriage banners and chanted slogans against the saudi campaign which was targeted hoofy held areas of yemen since twenty fifty the un has called for an independent investigation into
6:40 am
this latest incident just a warning you may find some of the pictures coming up next disturbing. in an official statement riyadh defended the coalition's actions saying the strike was executed in compliance with international law as for saudi arabia it launches bombing campaign against the rebels in yemen and it considers terrorists back in twenty fifty does mention this most recent attack is troubled many across the globe
6:41 am
including the u.s. defense secretary james mattis i have dispatched a three star general into riyadh to look into what happened here and if there's anything we can do to preclude this in the future the united states is by far the largest supplier of weaponry to the saudis it also provides targeting assistance for riyadh's airstrikes and military operations last year saudi arabia paid seven hundred fifty million dollars to american specialist for training it said was meant to reduce civilian casualties independent political analyst and glazebrook believes humanitarian concerns are unlikely to change the u.s. position of the conflict. the war in yemen really is that is the vietnam of this generation reality will force a change but unfortunately morality won't a bus full of under ten's being butchered will not change the stand of the us the resistance on the ground will ultimately change the standard of the us i mean brutal and disgusting as this latest massacre is the reality is that at least one
6:42 am
hundred thirty children. have been being killed by this war every single day that's according to save the children not necessarily food director strikes but through. famine conditions as a result of the deliberate targeting and this is well documented by the aggressive by the aggressor forces the deliberate targeting of agricultural infrastructure of key transport infrastructure necessary to moving supplies around the country. and of course the block the blockade that arbitrarily stops supplies going into the country. any time worse than that that's been ongoing for for over a year this this shocking figure of one hundred thirty children per day dying as a result of the aggression it's a story we'll continue to follow thanks so much he was mourning for more from us don't forget to look at our web site r.t. dot com a huge resource that is to put loads of an effort into it for you you can have your
6:43 am
say and what you see in the comments section to explore so very much more of what we've got to show you that twenty four seventh's another this tuesday morning in moscow is given i would say thanks for watching out international and have a great day. they gave us national camera. roughly once they showed some movie you for the. uncool videos and someone with the broken string of apps. going down more on string i don't roughly don't t.v. .
6:44 am
america was never great was founded on the rapes and murders. nothing changed so we said all response to these situations that we're dealing with. people get shot every day she is just people killing each other blood for killing children. so it was just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down law enforcement. this country
6:45 am
doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is 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. to do something that. would put themselves on the lawn and they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something or want to be for us. that's a right to be for us that's what before us three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my. question. when a loved one is murdered it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would
6:46 am
prefer and it means no in the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying who's just moved to the present and that we were even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in saying. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. with the whole make this manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the room in clubs is to protect themselves. with the flaming
6:47 am
merry go round lifts only the one percent. in the whole middle of the room signals. the real need for a. business phone both broadcasting all around the world of washington d.c. i'm far children thank you for watching coming up a california court has ruled that the german drug maker faire the newly acquired one fanfold company has to pay two hundred eighty nine million dollars. regarding exposure to to between killers archies sara montecito gives us the latest and we
6:48 am
have more on crypto isn't blocked chain with christiane the co-founder and managing partner of counterpart x. plus there's a market correction around the corner and which stocks might be impacted more or less by the trade wars i sat down with arm of the c.e.o. to start a stooge to ask and the national retail federation has new optimistic projections for the remainder of the year steve moberg help us take a look at that and back to school companies which ones should be doing well this time of year all that directly ahead but first we get to some sort of. european union regulators are taking a closer look at some of the smallest e.u. members cyprus and malta and their findings could have a big impact on the flows of people and capital across europe and the world critics of characterize immigration policies in malta cyprus and six other e.u. nations over citizenship by investment policies that criticize that critics call citizenship for sale now the e.u. commissioner for justice vera jo orbit says brussels will examine similar policies
6:49 am
and practices across the e.u. especially in relation to money laundering and corruption while residence permits can be purchased in more than half of the e.u. nations brussels is especially concerned about the combination of pay for passport policies with lax transfer policies by natural transfer policies that is mr georgia says clearly signaled geo political concerns behind the probe telling the financial times quote it's a big concern when a russian citizen who has worked all life in middle or senior management were salaries aren't very high suddenly has the money to buy citizenship in malta. and speaking of russia finance minister anton still in awe of says he and his colleagues are reacting to a growing crusade of u.s. sanctions by quite sensibly reducing their exposure and investments in u.s. dollars and stick. curates last week the trump white house impose new sanctions on russia in retaliation for russia's alleged poison even
6:50 am
a former russian spy of his daughter which the minister is characterized as quote unpleasant but not fatal the finance minister also rejected calls from some hotter heads in the russian duma for the expulsion of u.s. companies from russia arguing quote our citizens work in these companies these companies pay taxes into the budget of our country the minister also said he has no plans to ban the use of u.s. dollars in russia and may have sought to lower the rhetoric oracle temperature after the prime minister said this past friday that u.s. actions against russian banks would be taken as a quote declaration of economic war. and as noted at the top of the broadcast there is major consumer safety and product liability news out of the united states a san francisco court is awarded two hundred eighty nine million dollars in damages to a plaintiff after finding roundup glycine a faith based herbicide formula marketed by monsanto cause cancer into when johnson that's de wayne johnson not of course the former wrestler turned actor the rock dwayne johnson the plaintiff and victim and former high school grounds keeper
6:51 am
argued that he contracted non hodgkins lymphoma from using monsanto's product twenty to thirty times a year at work mr johnson's case was handled under expedited processes granted to plaintiffs who were dying mr johnson's lawyer timothy listen byrd told c.n.n. that nearly forty five hundred cases similar to mr johnson have already been filed and while mr johnson's quiets two sons will soon lose their father the late mr lets a bird said the award will give mr johnson some final comfort the jurors awarded two hundred fifty million dollars in punitive damages and thirty million in compensation and mr listen also said that if one chooses to appeal the verdict they would risk having to pay an additional twenty five million dollars of your early interest on that initial damage award. and monsanto is owned by the german drug maker bear agee or buyer heir g. how you depending on how you say it which brought the bought the company in june for sixty two point five billion dollars and as you might expect shares
6:52 am
a bear fell brutally today here was so more is parties. how are the markets reacting to this i know it was a bear was taking a big decline how bad was it well they are shared they playing spy eleven percent which is most the most of its punch in fifteen years so bear purchased monsanto like you mentioned just a few months ago for a sixty three billion dollars obviously the california jury voted in favor of doing johnson and this leads the way for future trials to come now this was a huge thing but california's. one of fifty states i mean what about the rest of the states in the u.s. well this definitely might president this is only like you said one paying out two hundred eighty nine million dollars the next lawsuit is scheduled to start in the fall in st louis missouri there are more than four thousand cases around the u.s. and this is unlike any class action lawsuit so this was filed in federal district
6:53 am
litigation so this means that each case will have their own separate trial meaning when santa could really face paying out billions to people in years and years of litigation how about outside of the u.s. other countries must be a look at this also so this is a global issue many european countries such as germany and france south american countries like argentina colombia many people have taken to the streets to protest voicing their concerns especially after they are bought out monsanto for that amount so this this isn't just a one for dewayne johnson and he said it himself this is a bigger when that could lead to to more and you know we talked about that sixty two point five billion bucks but do you think bear baby having a little bit of buyer's remorse i assume that you know the big obviously knew these things were out there but do you think they knew the extent to which the damage could be you know i really don't know very very well could have but they are planning to appeal against the verdict on friday so we'll just have to follow it
6:54 am
and wait and see what happens you know these months santo is not new to these sorts of class action lawsuits we've had you know decades of asbestos related cases and those still continue actually so they've been sort of a poster child for bad behavior in this area not only with the asbestos but but now of course with the roundup in the ranger pro i guess is the other other thing so things not looking good for them even in colombia many drones fumigate these coca leaf fields endangering many people and you know these. application are are most certainly probably off label concentration so they're likely with off label additives affecting people all over the world global issue hold continue to watch we thank you for your help serum want to thank you so much sure appreciate your. you know it's time we got to talk about kryptos we had christy are here she's here again we didn't have a chance last like so we're going to get to a couple of things now kristie you and i have talked in the past about exchange
6:55 am
traded funds and a crypto backed or crypto related basket of e.t.f. that the f.c.c. the securities change commission may approve we talked about that being in august but it looks like they pushed that off what do we know so this has been postponed it's been a huge disappointment to the entire crypto currency market as this was going to be the catalyst to bring institutional investors and institutional money into the market so the fact that it's been postponed until september thirtieth is a huge letdown for many people and to be honest i think that they're probably postponed again until next year as they see out the power to them postpone it again and again until february next year which is the final deadline which i think is most likely case that will happen but in the big grander scheme of things i think that is actually a good thing because this means that the f.c.c. is taking their time to review the proposal by solid x. and then act which is a very good proposal as they see it could have just rejected it completely life like they did with the window bosses e.t.f. but they did it and that means that they're taking this decision very seriously and
6:56 am
weighing the systemic risks and implications that have to the market will be i've spoken with the people at the commissioners in particular if they want to approve something they want to say yes but they are not going to put their stamp of approval on it unless they're absolutely sure so i think you're right on target what they're doing their thing i wanted to ask you about was recently ohio the ohio legislature when a head and a former league knowledge you know is a legitimate system for recording anything really they're the second state it was arizona i think back in april of this year but there's a big deal this is absolutely huge deal because this essentially legitimized this technology for its utility purpose its core purpose of mechanism so what senate bill two twenty did was it gave block based documentation the same legal waiting and status as any other document. which means that using or key to sign up to sign a transaction now bears the same legal ramifications as you putting your signatures
6:57 am
down on a contract so this legitimizes the industry as a whole it will allow medical and legal records to be recorded on a digital ledger and it actually brings real waiting to the industry because now smart contracts are a binding contract and it's no longer just a mechanism or a function or a handshake deal it is a real contract binding transaction and not only is it an immutable record that will be good for these transactions whether or not it's a title or medical records with. but i'll be more transparent when appropriate it's a big area that's going to continue ohio's a second state but this could be a lot more to come christiane wish she is a crypto expert co-founder of managing partner of counterpart x. thanks christi for india. and time now to squeeze in a quick break but linger longer because when we get back is a market correction around the corner i sat down with both are about to see all the stops to get her take on i asked her which stocks might be more impacted by the recent very close to the national retail federation has some optimistic projections
6:58 am
for the remainder of the year steve walford help us take a look at that and at what company should be doing well with regard to going back to school we'll be right back after this. you know world a 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 back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for
6:59 am
the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. so here you now this new attempt at a global unity of the count a global currency big oil that will be on the controlled by people not any subtle government thought as the chance to do what galled failed to do to escape the trixie's of the central bankers and the ph d. will the economist. join me every thursday on the alex simon shill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics small business i'm show business i'll see it end. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. i
7:00 am
understand but that's the word i'm sympathetic i want to be kind of enter and i won the last post on this topic but as many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sides of the draft used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities the best person to ask than. this little boy and then the next time i get i'm in a lot of class and i want that. to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house along with other political rivals. both of you what is the who beat up to the comment i say if it's going to have any type of loan. deal with the push to put in those posts both of you have put it up to the whole of the.
7:01 am
welcome back the growing tangle of terrorists between the u.s. and china may increase to force some fundamental shifts in the energy market last week china threaten to include ellen g. from the us among the praga products targeted by new tariffs on a basket of roughly sixty billion dollars worth of u.s. imports in recent years the u.s. has written a surge of domestic natural gas production to gain ground on top l. and g. competitors including kadar malaysia australia the international energy agency says china will become the top global importer of l n g path next year pushing past south korea and japan while experts say a twenty five percent tariff could make u.s. elegy uncompetitive in the chinese market much of china's future consumption is already contracted for delivery but future and long term contracts will be impacted meanwhile some analysts are also gaming out a scenario in which we can chinese demand dragged down. the price of oil and many attribute the recent weakness in oil to u.s.
7:02 am
china tensions brant crude recent fall of nearly seven percent closely followed last week chinese retaliation will dig into oil on the next program with raji corner of simpler trading can't wait for that. and updating a story we touched on at the end of last week turkey's financial drama continues to roil markets and policymakers in regulators abroad are increasingly concerned the financial times reports that the european central bank the e.c.b. is specifically concerned that european banks may have collateral exposure in turkey while the e.c.b. staff operating the single supervisory mechanism which looks out for such risks a turkey is not yet in crisis they clearly signal that investors should take a careful second or even third look at their turkish portfolio carson brad ski chief economist at i n g characterize the current risk. european markets are still extremely nervous and we saw that the of the euro exchange rate to drop further we were below one fourteen this morning so therefore it really can see there is
7:03 am
nervousness there is uncertainty and and investors always associate europe closely with turkey. and the turkish lira fell sharply again today the turkish currency is down forty five percent this year along. and checking in on the u.s. economy new data shows inflation is now at the highest level since two thousand and eight there was a two point nine percent year over year increase in c.p.i. that's the consumer price information for inflation rather for the second quarter with two point four in the so-called horror inflation rate that sets aside the effects of food and energy prices some analysts say inflation is nowhere to go but up given some recent mild upticks in wages others point out that those wage increases have been small and point to recent waning in the price of oil in any case the u.s. federal reserve seems likely to meet market expectations of two additional interest rate hikes still this year.
7:04 am
is a stock market correction around the corner we now as the c.e.o. of a stock was armed with a thank you for joining us as always great to be with you in person too so let's look at last year was a gangbuster your stock so this year has been pretty good so far to set the stage where where are we sort of historically with stock markets the last couple years last year to him well last year in two thousand and seventeen a really ever since trump was elected in november twenty sixth in the market just flow if you had bought the market right after the election day and in it you would be up a huge amount almost forty percent towards the end of twenty seventeen now this year we've been a sideways range most of the year however we've been holding the up trend i think two thousand and seventeen was an anomaly it's very unusual to have a market that power trends for twelve months straight but that is what the market
7:05 am
did now we're coming into this period here we're in earnings season now in the summer months so there's a lot of stocks big names that are reporting that could continue the market higher i don't see a correction that setting up anytime soon however there are so many things going on right now in the world and specifically at the tower of star trade wars that are happening that is something that could derail the market for the end of two thousand eight hundred but as of right now everything looks great well let me ask you about that so when you look at individual stocks in the look at the trade wars and people or pointing to you know boeing aircraft john deere caterpillar except truck and they've had some ups and downs although boeing seems to be dismissing it but what stocks are they absent those that we say we might look at and say wait a minute there's some greater impact to the trade wars that we're seeing other than the stocks which you might expect like i did right well boeing had earnings and that drop in the earnings. general motors had earnings trucked in the earnings so
7:06 am
you have some of these companies that do business overseas said and that's affected the stocks not moving as fast or quick hire maybe as they what but there are still many of these like boeing is still in the not trying so these stocks really when you look at them are good buys i don't know if i'd buy them here because i don't know what the long term effects are going to be at the terrace that's the thing right now we're in this wait and see period where it's a temperate time that we're trying to find out if this is going to stick all of these times or if they're going to be lifted and it's going to be a no tyrus everywhere between every country which is what trying to trying to do so nobody really knows i would say right now try to stick stay away from stocks that could be affected potentially don't go along stocks that could have a potential stock with the tires stocks like netflix something like that amazon companies like that that are just strong the tech stocks that sector those are good buys right now because i don't really see anything fundamentally changing or totally changing with those stocks even if the tariff stick around for another six to twelve months and if we look at some companies like a wal-mart for example or you look at companies that are out there like dollar
7:07 am
general or the dollar store that really rely on a lot of chinese goods imported chinese goods into the states are those that other place where we would look and say wait a minute they are starting to have an impact are there any other things that you might look at to see whether or not you know consumer business investment to see whether or not these trade tariffs tiffs if the if you will are starting to have an impact well right now like i said not really but that what's going to happen is they may have to go and start buying american and that's the whole thing that's one of the things that was pushing to buy american buy american now will that will that mean that consumers pay more if they buy something online at wal-mart that wal-mart normally bought from outside of the states they might they might so that wal-mart as a company will have to do things then to to come back those price increases so i think i think it's too soon to say it's only been a couple months it seems like it's been going on longer than it has with these tires but it's. really not even the entire march was the weather this morning did
7:08 am
it they start going to new affected april but with you see employed it's been it's right in a hard day's night let me ask you one question before we go you're don't see a correction coming so people out there investors are skittish if you're going to take a risk adverse strategy what sort of things might you get more of them well i would just if you don't want to be in the market if you don't want to be in the market long term if you don't to be in the market off you're totally risk averse and take your money out of the market and just put in a certificate of deposit at the bank that's the safest place you could put it because of f.d.i.c insurance and u.s. banks but as far as risk goes long term your retirement plans i think the market is going to continue higher even if we would have a correction worst case scenario this town goes on goes into two thousand one thousand and we have some kind of big drop off towards the end of this year and the beginning of next year worst case scenario long term the market is still holding the up trying to even my technical analysis member i look at charts i have followed
7:09 am
the charts on the reading got to the market ten percent when you can be a correction it would be have to be twenty twenty five percent down to be a full on change in trend in the market and i just think that's a very low chance of that happening if we dropped off ten percent we did that actually earlier did earlier than that we did then and i was twenty two or twenty three year over year that's right and so because we've based in this range from february really until now we've been in this range up and down up and down up and down because we've been in that range that's not enough that we could even just move higher and explode so that kind of was the correction if you want to look at it technically if we drop off past that point and make it more than ten percent then i'd say be worried but again i don't see that happening i just i just would be shocked if that would happen companies are strong companies are strong even the stocks that are that are not reporting what you would expect on the earnings are still holding for the most part there's only some sectors that are having trouble and you know the automobile industry some trouble there. which again has to do with
7:10 am
the tires that could be problematic and also you have retail some retail stocks are struggling but cheap but you have got a lot of times up until the point of black friday towards the end of the year when the sales get big we so much appreciate your advice always very interesting it's great to be with you about thank you melissa as the c.e.o. of the stock solution thanks. and there are new retail projections out from the national retail federation which suggest sales and twenty eighteen are now forecast to increase more than expected previously the federation set a high end would be four point four percent increase this year but now they are projecting a four point five percent increase at least here discussions to serve t.v. and radio commentator steve malzberg steve thanks for being with us this is really good news right. you know yeah it is really good news in fact i believe it is in the first half of two thousand and eighteen we're up four point eight percent over the first half of two thousand and seventeen and there are so many reasons for it i mean they credit the tax cuts they credit of course the low unemployment numbers
7:11 am
people are working they have disposable income household that worth net worth is up consumer confidence is up so all the ingredients are there of course people could be a little fearful if they factor in inflation and the mentioned afore mentioned in your last segment trade wars which are real but there's so many good economic factors out there that it has the the industry very very excited yeah i absolutely couldn't i couldn't agree with you you more hesitant because i just feel like there's another shoe to drop here sometime i hope i'm wrong steve i want to talk about something we've talked about off line i want talk about specific stocks and companies back to school but i want to mention something because i think our boom busters might enjoy it that a couple of years ago i learned about something called all men act analytics and what that is is that you look at algorithmic trading not the high speed trading but computer trading that that takes for example
7:12 am
a company like meade paper or somebody of that every time this year it's back to school time would uptick in sales and they're there for stocks and they do this sort of thing this allman at analytics for all day every day of the year and they can go back and spar as you you want so i'm curious steve what are the big companies when we talk about back to school sales what are the big companies that should be making moves now well you have for amazon prime started its amazon give its prime day a little earlier start in the in the month of july and back to school sales have just skyrocketed and stores like j.c. penney and target and kohl's i mean they've benefit heck of a lot from these sales and you know this when you talk about the billions of dollars that they're. industry brings in we're talking about eighty three billion twenty seven billion in k. to twelve grade and then fifty five billion in college student spending as they head back to school and you know i never would have guessed this i would have
7:13 am
thought school supplies electronics would head the list but it's actually clothing and accessories part that and that amazes me so that's great you know for that as an avenue of retail as well then you have of course electronics and then you have notebooks and more classic school supplies that you and i would consider school supplies but it's those stores are doing well and the last year back to school also did very well and people are going to the stores again you might expect that people are sitting on line and ordering these things but eighty percent of people say they're going to go visit the stores and they're talking about the mass producers not necessarily the dollar value stores so the big stores are getting their heads and the billions are rolling in and it's that time of year people are starting earlier two thirds of the people will have started and mostly completed their back to school shopping prior to august so those numbers have been rolling in
7:14 am
for quite some time well i guess the only reason i could think that you're really going to the store is as you do want to ensure that these clothes fit you don't want to show up on a first day of school with you know flooded pants or up high or something spoken like of the fashionistas that i know you and i are what should we be looking for steve with regard to these new projections on retail sales what things data may be coming up she would be looking at. well lou of a time and of michael kors the high end retailers have done better than expected those are in already when you're talking about the second quarter profits but this is a big week for retail you're going to have tons of stores and companies announcing their numbers and the industry not only the industry but adolescent very bullish on what we could expect this week now look at macy's they're very bullish on macy's which hit its low last november and it's been rising ever since so macy's is expected to do very well and that's a key to look to this week we also have wal-mart that we could look to this week
7:15 am
and the home depot is another key company and again the independent analysts are very bullish on what these numbers are going to show us top line bottom line and that's that's just great news for the economy more good news for the economy well we'll keep our fingers crossed as always conservative t.v. and radio commentator steve malzberg thanks steve thank you bart and that's it for this time you can catch boom bust on direct t.v. channel three twenty one dish network channel two a day or streaming twenty four seven on pluto t.v. the free t.v. application channel one thirty two were as always catches at you tube dot com slash boom bust r t we'll catch you next time. we.

this manufacturer came sentenced to public wealth. when the ruling classes to protect themselves. in the final merry go round the sun we know well. we can all middle of the room sick. ergo it never great was founded on the rapes in the murder. nothing changed so we said all response to these situations that we do in the ways.
7:17 am
people get sad every day she is just sad people kill each other blood for killing children. still is just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down by law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is 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 a reason. what
7:18 am
politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. have to try to be for us it's like before freedom or can people get. interested in the lives of my. question. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it means to live the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is
7:19 am
found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying and the is just no way to present and that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way. right. up my. mind was. right my.
7:20 am
lad. washington gets the cold shoulder for imposing sanctions on middle east nations with around the same will be no negotiations no with the u.s. and turkey likewise condemning its nato. elsewhere the latest clashes between the afghan government and the taliban have killed over a hundred civilians with washington apparently unsure whether it's cooperating or fighting the islamist group. and i'm just international launches a probe after two suicides within the organization of blamed on pressure of work and a lack of support. i was basically put in danger and my family was put in there because of the work that i was doing with amnesty because anas didn't even take the necessary precautions to protect the staff before having the office opened.
7:21 am
exactly no one here in moscow for a good morning for me kevin zero in this is r.t. international to our top story then the smalling iran's supreme leader says he won't negotiate with washington after president trump's latest offer to talk about improving ties to how many is the latest leader to give the u.s. president the brushoff sanctions spree mopin small. donald trump not known for his modesty never stops bragging about the fact that he wrote the art of the deal seems that when it comes to his role as commander in chief he sees himself as almost the great negotiator and when it comes to north korea you could argue that his approach kind of worked he is a sick puppy rocket man is on a suicide mission for him so. this not make it even worse threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like
7:22 am
the world has never seen since taking office donald trump has played up the so-called threat of another geo political rival of america threat posed by iran whose chief exports are violence bloodshed and chaos all nations of conscience most worked together to isolate for a minute it started to look like things were cooling off and maybe talks were on the table i believe in meeting i would certainly meet with the room if they wanted to meet and ready to meet anytime they want to but he ron's supreme leader wasn't having it but i mean look there will be no war nor will we negotiate with the u.s. it is impossible even if someday the government of the islamic republic of iran were to negotiate with the us regime it would never negotiate with the current government of the us. and then there is turkey and its detention of pastor and live
7:23 am
brunson the turkish authorities say was tied to the twenty sixteen coup attempt now trump says he wants him released. the united states will impose large sanctions on turkey for the longtime detainments of pastor andrew brunson this innocent man of faith should be released immediately i have just authorized a doubling of terrorists and still and with respect to turkey as the currency the turkish lira slides rapidly downward against a very strong dollar our relations with turkey are not good at this time but turkey is going at a budge and just like trump era one knows how to talk tough not talk about we are partners in nato and then you step your strategic partner in the battle we will do as the law dictates you cannot simply make sure down by boston us around meanwhile russia is not exactly caving in the face of sanctions yes it was possible which the
7:24 am
but if some ban on banks operations or on their use of i want to or another currency all it would be possible to clearly call it a collaboration of economic and work and it would be necessary to react to this war economically politically or even by other means that the in our american friends in the beach understand this let's remember that those sanctions on north korea were not unilateral they were actually imposed by the united nations but when it comes to the rest of the world trump is on his own and it seems that his reputation as a great negotiator is on the rocks. r.t. washington d.c. . former u.s. ambassador to croatia peter galbraith told us it's unclear whether sanctions will have the effect that washington wants here. the case of iran is completely different from that of north korea first these are unilateral u.s. sanctions and they are it's because the entire international community except the united states thinks they are inappropriate that they're wrong and in the case of
7:25 am
iran iran feels that they had a valid agreement and that there's no lawful basis for doing it it's very hard to coerce people to do something which they think is in fact lawful and goes against their their will so i think you sanction the u.s. sanctions which are unilateral opposed by the rest of the world there are unlikely to be sanctions on turkey like the sanctions on iran i think will cause real economic pain. but again as to whether they will accomplish their purpose that's very unclear although in the case of turkey it's a little more complicated because there was a deal to refer to three reverend brunson and turkey simply got it patients so it's quite possible something will be worked out on that one. the u.n. has confirmed that over one hundred civilians have been killed in the new wave of
7:26 am
clashes between the taliban and afghan forces in the city of god's name. callings have reported that heavy fighting in gaza city in the past three days has resulted in more than one hundred civilian casualties communications networks and electricity supply are currently down in the city resulting in water shortages and food is also reportedly running low. fighting there escalated on friday when the taliban attempted to storm wouldn't take control it would allow the group to link already captured areas close to the capital kabul and i've been trying to this morning looks at how almost two decades of american led war in afghanistan has not made the country safer. this is what's happening just a little more than a hundred kilometers from the capital kabul there's barely a camera in gaza any available to film this dreadful battle locals say there are stronger descriptions than simply the tele band is back in action and if it wasn't
7:27 am
for u.s. airstrikes the afghan army could have been in far worse trouble so it makes you wonder do american diplomats and their military keep in touch there is nothing that precludes us from gauging with the taliban we're doing everything we can to ensure that our actions help the taliban and the afghan government does the same table everything they can only a few weeks ago the state department said talking with the taliban was a good idea and regardless of how hostile their actions the extremists say they're forward to this is what we wanted and were waiting for to sit with the us directly and discuss the withdrawal of foreign troops from afghanistan. the rumor is there's already been some direct contact at least we know for sure alice wells went to qatar last month where the taliban's got a political office i'm confused the armed group has all but regained its might
7:28 am
which not so long ago earned them a reputation of out reich islamist barbarians in america and pretty much all over the world we acted and the taliban no longer is in power in afghanistan which is not only good for the security of the free world it is incredibly good for the people who suffered in afghanistan on the barbaric rule time flies us administrations come and go fair enough but the things the people in charge say about insurgents today could be totally different tomorrow taliban this taliban that the taliban are fighting isis and we encourage that because isis needs to be destroyed. oh so they're good for something at least if it's about knocking out islamic state yet just a few months earlier general nicholson said the taliban's fight against dyess was
7:29 am
a piece of russian propaganda we see here a narrative that's being used that grossly exaggerates the number of isis fighters here this narrative then is used as a justification for the russians to legitimize the actions of the taliban and provide some degree of support complicated heart of ghana's stand business as usual and the american strategy for afghanistan see above the american strategy a strategy from the beginning of the so-called war on terror which was launched after the september eleventh attacks as this war has turned out to be an utter failure. you know i was we all know it was in a stronger position that it wants. two thousand and one. so hence 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 the
7:30 am
growth of terrorism the taliban is not just pulling out a gun it's firing it it could be time for the pentagon and the state department to hunt for ideas together and be more precise. meantime more than twenty five thousand refugees have returned to syria in the past four months authorities say the people have been coming back since victory of the terrorists was announced he goes standoff met some of them. the border between syria and lebanon which is literally some two kilometers away from here is expected to become a major flood gate for those whose home sickness has turned into something big going to the actual return home right now we are at one out of five ports of entry established by the syrian government as they welcome its citizens home there were many things to run from terror. pointless and unspeakable brutality but now there's one homeland i know we suffered from terrorism for three years and
7:31 am
eight months all kinds of weapons were used against us but we stood firm and did not give up and kept fighting until we were transferred here the terrorists who are against life itself against peaceful citizens women and children it was very difficult for us to live but the terrorists were living in good conditions come to the terrorists left my city so i decided to return because it is safe there now my town in syria is safe that is why i decided to return with my family the government has promised to restore infrastructure in amman scale from hospitals to schools judging by the rules in this school there's a new subject on the curriculum and it's called survival from different types of landmines to improvised explosive devices and to simply objects that kids should be aware of this is what children in this school will be taught about when it opens this september but not everyone will be welcomed back to revive
7:32 am
a peaceful existence here like the white house hailed as a rescue organization by the west damascus isn't looking forward to their return syria's living abroad who have committed nothing against their i mean citizens should the shield or nothing get all the government would ensure their safety and those who chose to flee the country should have committed these crimes. that which made them very afraid of staying in the country so the white helmets are criminals and they should be treated this way there are many displaced syrians who are being moved against getting ready to come home just yet we think that it's premature to promote returns serious still very insecure there's still a lot of war going on in syria even though out of the seven million people that escaped the conflict. grew through of them to come back to syria but there will be
7:33 am
no hope rebuilding the country from the west far to do over to be a western countries should support the return of syrian citizenship and lift economic sanctions against syria because people who want to return need schools hospitals food and shelter for their families the e.u. and the us have been when we say the e.u. we must remember is britain is the driving force of the policy towards towards syria what britain and us led in you following along in its wake have since twenty eleven made it their policy to destroy syria to destroy the syrian government by any means necessary to facilitate a train and equip a sectarian brutal sectarian insurgency that laid waste to the country their policy has been to make syria uninhabitable and their policy remains to ensure that it
7:34 am
stays uninhabitable so syrian refugees in europe absolutely caught between well a rock and a hard place is putting it very very mildly on the one hand they have the e.u. then the us still continuing to enact this policy of making their own country uninhabitable and then in the same time you have this growing fascist street movement in. in the e.u. that's actually has even influence over for example the british government whose policy is to basically make european inhabited. war for them hatred towards the side unites a lot of syrians who chose to flee their country well now at least judging by the promises the syrian government seems to be extending an olive branch to the ones who seek to do no more damage done to reporting from syria for r.t. . and us internationals launched external investigations into the suicide of two employees the death sparked an internal crisis about working conditions within the
7:35 am
human rights organization. mcgregor was twenty eight years old when she took her life earlier this summer and in turn of amnesty she worked in geneva according to her father she developed health problems because of stress working there and committed suicide just a few days after returning home that five weeks after another suicide within the organization as well the guy the next we're going to talk about is a sixty five year old called. he was a veteran research he'd spent over thirty years in west africa he was found dead in amnesty's paris office he left a suicide note in which he described pressure at work and lack of management support a former amnesty employee should her experience with us. i was the former researcher for israel and palestine based in jerusalem i resigned in two thousand and eighteen due to security and safety issues as well as lack of support from management when it came to dealing with the stress i was basically put in danger and my family was put in danger because of the work that i was doing with amnesty because i didn't
7:36 am
even take the necessary precautions to protect the staff before having the office opened the program that amnesty had apparently had and i think it's still in place is you receive three phone calls to an external facility just to listen to you and i try to explain to them that for me this doesn't weigh and sadly i didn't even get support when it came to health insurance and medical and medical assistance that i needed there due to the stress that i was under. independent inquiries into the midst of over four hundred staff to mounted new verse to go letter has pointed to the existence of support programs for employees and promises to learn from the probe's assure him of them against his people working for rights groups really do deserve to be protected to. a lot of the journalists and a lot of human rights workers deal with these issues usually but with support from the organization i think the problem with amnesty is there was a failure in the system in understanding the importance of mental health and
7:37 am
resilience program within the institution itself you're talking about one of the biggest human rights organizations you're sending people to the field you're sending people to document human rights violations the the priority is also ensuring that these field workers and human rights activists. are safe themselves before having having them report on the violations coming up more on the controversial story so security working rather less than father bill after the former a recording being fired in what's supposed to be one of the most secure rooms in america throws a lot of questions we look at but bring the rest of the morning's news after this break. you should. put themselves on the line to get a little reject. so we want to be president and. want.
7:38 am
to go. to work for three of the more people that. are still in the waters. here you now this new attempt at a global unit of account a global currency big line that will be controlled by people not any government has the chance to do what failed to do. the trick keys of the central bankers and the world an economist.
7:39 am
again so donald trump the rights of his former aide to go newman off the she released that scandalous recording of her being fired by chief of staff john kelly . but we do not ask you a couple questions that the president is put in aware of don't do it's not go down the road this is unknown to go she will discussion well that was one side of the story but now this is this controversy is unfolding many security experts are actually asking how she was able to make the said recording of what's supposed to be one of the most secure rooms in the white house.
7:40 am
national security exposed to denounce money goes recordings is a serious breach of ethics and security that. i've never heard of a more serious breach of protocol not only is it not to mco something like this is unprecedented no proper employee of the white house brings funds into d.c. to ration room it's totally precipitate as someone who's spent a fair amount of time in the situation room i can't even begin to read my head around how insane this is if the carriage for example the cell phone into the situation room the not only did she record conversations that but so potentially
7:41 am
has any country or criminal organization that thought to hack a phone as i understand it first off the entire area where the executive office of the president operates is a secure area and the people who are in there are all cleared personnel and are expected to behave ethically as far as taking a device into the situation room that would normally not be done i'm not sure would be any procedure through or specifically checking that unless some highly classified matter were about to be discussed in there and maybe they would take other precautions but normally you would you wouldn't expect you need to do that with people that are supposed to be there in a position of trust this opens up a whole bucket of or worms in terms of water on the procedures what are the protections and what kind of behavior can we expect in the future. the scandal sort of continued to provide but i had lots of calls for the media saving them from the typical. story.
7:42 am
i have not heard that the first tired of that crowd click and. in the situation i mean that's kind of libelous they never did anything like it it's it's i mean it's as ever happened. we have one of them michael cohen tapes secret recording of president trump back in
7:43 am
two thousand and sixteen made by cohen just weeks before the election about paying hush money to silence a former playmate had an alleged affair with named karen mcdougal. collusion collusion collusion delusion. but any minute now allude to nearly every. year. i think is more from the president an individual who basically portrayed his nation . and disturbance. president's ability outraged by opening your rivals in the center the french capital men can now answer the call of nature just a stone's throw from tourist hot spots like the not they drove all city authorities are trying to stop when you're in it in the street basically each bright red open air toilets filled with straw the eco way and the designers say they're going to be
7:44 am
odorless but he locals though find the idea of toilets embarrassing and it's caused rather a stink. personally i'm slightly in favor of it it might entertain the ladies who will be able to judge the quality of men's prostates going by how far away they are standing but apart from that i don't find it interesting about. sex as far as modesty is concerned it's inadmissible that black people can urinate by taking their thing out in the street like that it's unacceptable. so of war stories must check out our side are to show your say on the comments section then explore so very much more of what we got to show you twenty four seventh's now this tuesday morning moscow's kevin owen saying thanks for watching and taking the time out to be with us have a great day. when
7:45 am
the whole make this manufacture come sentenced him to a public wells. when the running plus isn't protect themselves. when the financial merry go round lifts only the one percent. of the time doing the whole middle of the room signals. doing the rounds many more you don't even really know. 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 stamping
7:46 am
each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw 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 to one business shows you can afford to miss the one and only boom bust. america was never great was founded on the rapes and murders. nothing changed so we send all response to these situations that we deal with.
7:47 am
people get shot every other day she is just. 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 be shot down by 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 rat like this is the reason. greetings and salutations we begin today hog watchers with incredible new news out of san francisco's monsanto yes lynne santo has been left scrambling after
7:48 am
a jury ruled the company was liable for the terminal cancer affecting former grounds keeper dwayne johnson to the tune of over two hundred million dollars in a stunning decision on friday the jury awarded johnson the ailing forty six year old two hundred eighty nine million in damages declaring that one sondos roundup weed killer had caused his non hodgkins lymphoma and that the agro chemical giant had indeed failed to warn him of the health hazards from exposure and had acted with malice or oppression naturally monsanto is already on the defensive declaring that they will indeed be appealing the ruling scott partridge the vice president of monsanto continued to toe the company line despite the jury's ruling informing the media that the verdict doesn't change the four plus decades of safety safe use and science behind the product. well a jury of your peers and apparently your internal company e-mails beg to differ
7:49 am
there scotty sorry according to ben wiser johnson's lead attorney on the case these e-mails more than likely played a huge role in the jury's decision he said quote we were finally able to show the jury this secret internal monsanto documents proving that monsanto is known for decades that roundup could cause cancer wiser went on to note that this verdict sends a message to monsanto that it's years of deception regarding roundup is over and that they should put consumer safety first over profits but will be bare own corporate behemoths listen will they truly listen only time will tell but this decision jury's. does prove how important it is to always be watching the hawks. you. want to. get the. real deal with. the blood of. the like you like i got.
7:50 am
this. i. welcome everybody to watching the harks i am tyrone from turkey and with a wallace move so yeah i mean we had obviously talked about this we talked about this a long time as one of the things that's been covered a lot is months said oh it's not just. many things that month and that we can talk about but specifically round up and its use and what they are legally obligated to tell people about this and i think this is what is that's the stage is that there needs to be better consumer protections whoever that might end up being so this financial award includes past and and future economic losses and punitive damages limit period of damages tacked on right extra hundred millions i think the
7:51 am
lawyers originally asked for like thirty nine million number of the you know lost wages lost wages these are like a year to live there they're saying according to his doctor's johnson and has possibly months to live he may have literally just used has lost a bit of life left on him to fight the people who may have said. but yeah it looks like he had told reporters after the verdict he said i'm glad to be here to be able to help in a cause that's way bigger than me you're talking about someone who literally has probably months to live you know and stood up and fought to make sure this made in the courts and you know we watched this with johnson and johnson the baby. verdicts going on and they still plan time and you don't see reams the media saying oh my gosh the stuff you're putting on your lawn could give you cancer all my gosh your baby powder could give you cancer even though courts are saying it will do a lot of love to go out to the activist groups and alternative media because they've been the ones really bringing the dinner bell so to speak for quite
7:52 am
a long time and it is a whim for environmental cook the president of the environmental working group sudden a statement like this when some don't live round up the oxy carton of pesticides and how the addiction and damage they cause have come home to roost addiction to round up and like all of this not in the late i will take it personally sense but we are addicted as a society if not a world to using this type of pesticide yes in the united states is like many things we're addicted to things the most and i mean twenty percent of the world's life as they use is is right here in the united states which amounts to about two hundred eighty million pounds per year of just the guy to say which is probably the world's most widely used herbicide one that has been considered a carcinogen and has been banned in many european countries and eastern european countries and around the world that is this is the open the floodgates this is because there's another round of cancer trial trial believe this or that was in the
7:53 am
way of saying yeah yeah thousands more that's cool start in st louis four thousand four thousand similar cases are waiting to go against our good friends at monsanto . presidents who are on the edge here in washington d.c. with news of a massive gathering of white nationalist and those who oppose them it was set to hit the streets this weekend in the nation's capital on the anniversary of the tragedy of took place in charlottesville virginia last year the last time these two groups met in protest of the unite the right to the stage with the police law enforcement were ready even the skies were set to turn dark without. storms but what was supposed to be a hurricane turned out to be a whimper as just a smattering of the night the writers turned out for the protests instead of those rallying against white nationalism fascism turned out in force with music chance and signage far dwindling that of their opposition and with fascism the buzzword of the day we talked with some of the protesters and speakers who turned out to stand
7:54 am
against unite the right on sunday and ask them about what has been emboldening the all right why it's important to counter protest and most importantly where the political and both sides stems from a take a listen. i didn't have the may folks feel like they have leeway to behave in the way that they have been behaving for somebody to say that it's ok to ram a car into a group of people and kill someone who came to a protest. shows that there's a feeling of i can get away with this and i think that's why it's important that we are here lafayette park so say actually you know you're not going to get away with it and it's not just today this has been going on since the history and and inception of america as we know it when they first landed here and claimed to discover a nation that already had indigenous folks and there's always been resistance and we're just carrying on that tradition and what do you say to the people who are saying that meeting them head on is not ok and we should be meeting with of and and
7:55 am
unity and hold hands with them and be patient quote unquote with them we cannot sit down with full sue don't intend to sit down with us because they don't view us as human and we're dealing with people who don't value us and don't hold us to any dignity and i'm not just talk about black lives talk as queer folks chance faults as gnc folks us folks who are different religion other the anglo christian religion and people who are brown who don't fit into this anglo-saxon blue-eyed white orientation that they have created and continue to spew as fact. we're not saying that we're not meeting each other. i would love what we're saying is is that we have to organize our committee and worry about folks who are ready to work to counter that we don't want to keep tapping in hitting walls and we have people here who are ready to move on here to stand up against the fascist forces that are moving into the city right now and i think it's important not to just ignore them
7:56 am
and to make sure that there are people here who don't want that in our city i think it's important you know the history of the good in the land and a lot of that but it's hard to move forward politically if we don't understand what came before us i think american fascism is age old it's been here is on is america has been here but a lot of other beautiful things have been here as well and so i think it's about. solidarity with other people who don't feel fascism and coming together and making something different. and i also think it's about. getting over our addiction to capitalism which keeps keeps fascism in place because it's good for capitalism and people are divided fascism has been part of our country ever since its founding and i don't think it's going away anytime soon unless we do something about it do you feel like the way in vitriol on the right and on the other side is is mr rectitude and out there there may be mad about other things i'm pointing in the wrong direction i mean couple of them affects everyone. and is it mr record yes but is
7:57 am
that division useful to the system yes so they're doing the work that they're intending to do in our work is to organize each other not just want to tell you that we can only afford fairness if we make the group smaller so you get rid of everybody who is not way and erica and that's just not true we have plenty of wealth for everybody in this country so there's a way to distribute it more fairly. through world but dollars incredible lot of really interesting you know you see a lot of intelligence and thought behind what those people's political beliefs are that's very that's very cool to see but you know tab you know the reason all this happened all right oh i can a man. watch the mainstream news media you know the reason behind all this is of course it's russia russia russia yes it's all russians follow all of the political news in the united states and racial divide at all russia's fault and look i mean how can you not believe republican representative tom garrett who's a member of a host of homeland security he told me on saturday before the big protests that
7:58 am
quote i sat may close session briefing probably two months ago about charlottesville with the director of the f.b.i. among others and asked if russian intermeddling had to do with fermenting the flames of what happened in charlottesville i was told yes it did you know what republicans have done. to so racial division and they love a good doll with all the old do it i'm tired of hearing about cyc the russians obviously they didn't the russians i don't know where the russians are. only there was like you know there were only like a little bit then i wonder they were there on sunday that is really the amount of people who are out there for the night the right on that side of the you know whatever i'm going to call it the white nationalist side all that there wasn't that many apparently you know latino. really i mean you have to imagine you know lafayette square from freedom plaza lafayette square the march went along and you know almost took
7:59 am
a big chunk of of lafayette square and you have to understand it was thousands now whatever his house it was thousands of people you know at least a few thousand if not more who gathered walked up there and when you looked across it was. it was quite literally so hard to even see them well it ended up being around five it was supposed to start at five and by about five really it was just like it was like twenty four neo nazis just coming out all together under a tree with like and waiting for castle or to speak and he pretty much was learned well those were the bomber and lives of those how they go much but i didn't love but everybody really was like there were people literally going i feel bad for them like this is really embarrassing words and not saying well what's interesting though is that you got a chance also the six of them really amazing took place there and amidst the calls the shame and the readiness to sort of keep neo nazis from the following our city
8:00 am
many protesters took a slightly different approach and one of those was dancing to the electric slide in the wobble and generally bringing this joy to our streets instead of hate now celebrating this culture along with that was one woman who marched right in front of me from freedom plaza to lafayette square with her walker and the minute the dancing started she left her walker and joined the celebration showing us all that fight means drumming up the hate with love of a little life and the electrics and. yes we united they are as reported court watchers don't forget to let us know what you think of the topics are covered on facebook and twitter and see our full shows that are dot com coming up short though it's of the documentary on the congo a lot of this stuff stay true.
8:01 am
so here now this new attempt at a global unit of account of all the currency big oil that will be are controlled by people not any subtle government thought as the chance to do what paul failed to
8:02 am
do to escape the tricks of the subtle bankers and steve will the economist. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it means to live the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict just bombed innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying lose just move hasn't been that we're even many of victims families want the death penalty to be a molar the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't the way.
8:03 am
why is it that some countries seem to be continually mired in cyclical wars political instability and economic crisis well that is the central question behind the film this is congo a new documentary featuring an in-depth look at a part of the world not often talked about in a western corporate news media starting in two thousand and twelve the film focuses on four different individuals over a three year period a whistleblower a patriotic military commander a mineral dealer and it displaced taylor and how they live under rebellion resource exploitation colonialism and the other major issues and problems affecting the region johnstone sat down with the photojournalist behind the documentary daniel mccabe to delve deeper into the story of his film and the congo let's take a listen. america's always going to volved in africa in one way or another not
8:04 am
colonial. in the form cold is ation. but in terms of mineral interest sure it's hard to really see america inside of all this. they're hidden in terms of their involvement but the influence is huge you know how we kind of approached the conflict there whether it's through backing and support through the u.n. or humanitarian organizations or through. different bills we passed the dod fricke bill where it's our attempt to try and clean up the conflict mineral chain but. the reality is just as i mentioned before you know when we train crews bring our solutions idea of solutions that often just don't match with with the reality of the grown so so we're often left with a problem that's bigger than it was with when it started and it was certainly of
8:05 am
the problem again going back to the economic situation we have these minerals that are very valuable and they're being utilized by us every day centrally. right you say you know that the various minerals that we're talking about they end up in our plants as our electronics. you know diamonds and gold obviously have value so essentially we are playing into the conflict without being aware of plants that conflict yeah i mean that's true and i think a hot topic is you know we can use the electronics like colton is it's largely mined in the congo and that's inside of our cell phones so i think we. we often look at end user responsibility how involved are we can can is buying a and i phone is that impacting things on the ground in congo and i think it becomes a little more confusing because you know if we go in and train and decipher between a conflict mineral and conflict free mineral really all that means is
8:06 am
a government controlled mining area or a rebel controlled money or then when you have a government as corrupt as it is in a in a national army as corrupt as it is where is the conflict mineral you know you can make an argument that maybe a rebel controlled mine is more conflict free or or vice versa it's very murky and at the end of the day when you cut off those conflict minerals the miners are really the ones that suffer so you have people in total communities based around this trade which has been going on for decades and decades and then they're out of work and it's really hard to try and clean up that chain and and make it more honest without profoundly impacting the people on the ground so it's a conundrum. that the solution is no lou support. and i mean given your experience there you spent how many how many years for them about four years filming there but for this film but they're working there since two thousand
8:07 am
and eight yeah but so you're you know you being on the ground for years there spending time with with people you have a sense. you know how intractable are the problems a century how much do you know tribal issues and various ethnic issues that have become embedded in the culture and you know they have you know obviously that you know it's we're dealing with with organic situations that are that are moving and changing at all times but you know how much of what the actual like on the ground situation to you that you feel could be solved if it was left into the hands of the people as opposed to trying to impose from government perspectives. it's a tricky question i mean i think taking a step back helps can text or was it a bit more where when we look at the different types of issues on the ground aside from the resources and the obvious reason why people want to get out them you know you have ethnic divisions that are used as manipulation devices in the same way religion can be used to these these systems these african systems
8:08 am
of. governess that are happening on the ground don't mesh with with the democratic style of which the country has developed or we're trying to help impose. so so it's almost impossible to start you know separating these things are. often the the population is chewed up in the process and when you look at the country as a whole it's it's the story about two thirds the size of western europe and they only have about five hundred miles of paved road so there's no infrastructure the education system is heavily you know depressed and. you know we have people dying from skeeter bites so these are these are problems that i don't think we often consider but when that's the reality on the grown what you do the decisions as a congolese as somebody living those areas have everything to do with those realities. in terms of i mean it's can you touch upon
8:09 am
a here when you talk about how these some of these are contrived some of these situations of ethnic and religious diversity and it are being utilized to basically put people at odds with each other but when i look at africa i mean i've spent some time in with save the children and another n.g.o.s that are trying to do positive it does really begin with a fundamental lack of infrastructure and a lot of this is controlled as we know from i.m.f. and world bank this is where you at the american influence right controlling the purse strings so that should these think these funds are being utilized to actually build up your infrastructure for markets to thrive or you can end up with you know basically commerce and people coming together and having education and having awareness of values so when you look at these situations being depressed who do you think is really behind this sort of mental manipulation of these situations to make sure that there is an ongoing conflict to make sure that basically uganda and rwanda and congo aren't odds with each other's throats and that the various
8:10 am
ethnicities and culture. those are fighting internal civil wars continuously in places like congo sure sure i mean it's like when we finally pull the curtains back who's who's you know playing with the marionette strings. you know it's it's tricky and i think overall when you have a government as corrupt as congo's is it's individuals that are behind it and whether it's you know we want to point a finger at the president which is newsy thing to do because he's holding on to power and and he got there by kind of questionable means. it's. again it's we have to we have to step back it's i think one of them puja components of the continuing conflict in the congo is not being able to put our finger hey this is why this is why we can say the resources we can see the corrupt government all the armed groups the foreign interests international mining interests all these
8:11 am
things these components that are that are in there that create this foggy mill once the fog is there this creates real opportunity for these types of nefarious actions to increase so there's no consequence if if if a million dollars is given to repair roads in the east maybe only three hundred thousand of them actually arrives on the ground and it's not enough to complete a job and because of that it just truncates on itself and i think this kind of scenario continues to unfold on everything whether it's the liver in humanitarian aid or trying to get a lections in order or trying to build infrastructure or you know foreign of humanitarian groups coming in to do it often they're met with with opposition just from either the people on the ground or the government and it's because of these kids and decades of. you know. instability. what was the then for you with the intention ultimately the purpose of making
8:12 am
a documentary this is congo's just to wake people up as through there is a civil war civil slash ongoing confrontation and war and in congo that people have forgotten about or is there an actual you know solution that you're trying to propose or just you know basically getting people in the direction of a solution and an actionable solution. well you know. this conflict is so confusing that i think often the way we receive information about the congo are in these little three minute bites that are horrific it's either about mass rape or going to war happens in a bowl outbreak or something like this and. when we hear about it we will swipe you know or will change the channel and i think this is a huge contributing factor to to the mystification of this conflict and we don't understand it we kind of turn it off so the hope of this film is that through being able for through a viewer being able to identify with the different characters in the film the
8:13 am
characters that are being impacted by this conflict. it will not necessarily provide you with answers or solutions but the viewer will walk away with a thirst to know more they have a bit of a foothold so they understand a bit more about the context the history of the country how things are kind of going this direction but the hope is that the next time something pops up on the airwaves that the viewer can say oh wait i want to dig a bit deeper male don't read a book around look up another you know new source or i'll not change the channel so education is going to be the foundation of the solutions to these issues . at least this is the device we're trying to use. did you find in terms of your analysis that there was an intentional mr action or manipulation that was evident from the media portrayal of the conflict when say mr direction bird. no the media is a business you know we need to fill the very say with myself and to what we're trying
8:14 am
to fill these slots with information. and especially the way things are operating today when when the morning's news is dominated by tweets sometimes it's almost impossible for a condo in. congress conflict in a real way to get in there so we can understand it you know you can't sum up things into a three minute report. or so i think that's that's a huge contributing factor and it speaks to. the shortcomings of the media system itself. the nelson firing california tore through over two thousand acres before being declared one hundred percent contained this weekend however when the wildfires rage right towards the salon no county society for the prevention of cruelty to animals the vacant phil police department stepped up and as you can see from this body cam footage officers quite literally ran into the building housing
8:15 am
about sixty cats and dogs and one by one managed to save them all as well as one volunteer who had crossed the fire line illegally to save the animals and the first place now while the animals are safe there is a lot of work ahead for the ass pca sauna county as they lost much of their refrigerated medications and vaccines in the fire which will all need to be replaced along with bedding and general cleanup so here's to the vacant hill police volunteers for reminding us what community actually mean it's great that's really nice to see and i'm glad to see this is the good thing when the cops actually leave the body yes but that's what we got a bridge that you actually did know that was beautiful that's really commendable to them to run it in the safe. and so when you watch it it really does the sort of gets your heart that they really were i think about something as we all sort of work together and make sure that we're setting out for one another and that's protecting and serving yes that's. in all the community policing is supposed to be . about the other things that save puppies and kittens and people already did
8:16 am
a lot of us for the show prove that remember everyone in this world we're about told to love them so i tell you all i love you i am a robot sometimes have a lot of people watching those hawks the birds and that. join me every thursday i'll be all excited i'm sure and i'll be speaking to guest of the world the politics school this list i'm showbusiness i'll see that. politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. most somewhat want to be.
8:17 am
that have to try to be cross with what the full story in the morning can be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my house. guests it. can. be. predictable. very building never great was founded on a rape in a murder. nothing changed so we said in. response to these situations that we're dealing with. people just sad every
8:18 am
day she is just sad people kill 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 by law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is can't be happening in america we call from the streets we've got to deal with why is the reason i have to ride like this is the reason. the way to the united states is dangerous for most of the illegal immigrants. crossing the hardest that's not the little simple they want to become lost and enter another one the last of us on the path but if many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sites the drifter used to share information about undocumented
8:19 am
migrants with federal authorities only best person to ask than. most needed more know i've ended up next time i get i'm in a lot of class and i want that. they had water they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the one time move the political rivals they both have the what if the if you beat up to the to go with the offense it scrambles how many couples won't. kill which at the push concluded will spawn both both of both of you up with a pure hope of the. i . think.
8:20 am
washington gets the cold shoulder for imposing sanctions on middle east nations with a run the saying will be no negotiations with the u.s. now and turkey likewise condemning its nato allies. like clashes between the afghan government and the taliban killed over one hundred civilians with washington apparently unsure whether it's cooperating. with the islamist group. international launches probe to two suicides within the organization of the pressure of work and the lack of support. was basically put in danger and my family was put in danger because of the work that i was doing with amnesty because i didn't even take the necessary precautions to protect it for having the office.
8:21 am
there good morning this is art international with me kevin owen it's just ten ten am here in moscow now this tuesday first iran's supreme leader says that he won't negotiate with washington after president trump's latest offer to talk about improving how they have been a is the latest leader to give the u.s. president a brush off than amid a sanctions spree kellam open reports. donald trump not known for his modesty never stops bragging about the fact that he wrote the art of the deal seems that when it comes to his role as commander in chief he sees himself as almost the great negotiator and when it comes to north korea you could argue that his approach kind of worked is a sick puppy rocket man is on a suicide mission for him so. this not make it even worse threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like
8:22 am
the world has never seen since taking office donald trump has played up the so-called threat of another geo political rival of america threat posed by iran whose chief exports are violence bloodshed and chaos all nations of conscience most worked together to isolate for a minute it started to look like things were cooling off and maybe talks were on the table i believe in meeting i would certainly meet with the rent if they wanted to meet and ready to meet anytime they want to but he runs the supreme leader wasn't having it but i mean look there will be no war nor will we negotiate with the us it is impossible even if someday the government of the islamic republic of iran were to negotiate with the us regime it would never negotiate with the current government of the us. and then there is turkey and its detention of pastor and
8:23 am
brunson turkish authorities say was tied to the twenty sixteen who attempt now trump says he wants him released. the united states will impose large sanctions on turkey for the long time detainment of pastor andrew brunson this innocent man of faith should be released immediately i have just authorized a doubling of terrorists and still and with respect to turkey as the currency the turkish lira slides rapidly downward against a very strong dollar our relations with turkey are not good at this time but turkey is going at a budge and just like trump era one knows how to talk tough not talk about we are going to need and then you start your strategic partner in the battle we will do as the law dictates you cannot simply make sure you can go down and buy boston us around meanwhile russia is not exactly caving in the face of sanctions yes it was
8:24 am
possible to put the but if some ban on banks operations or on their use of i want to read the others here and hold it while it would be possible to clearly call it a collaboration of the economic work and it would be necessary to react to this work economically politically or by other means would you do it in our american friends in the beach understand this let's remember that those sanctions on north korea were not unilateral they were actually imposed by the united nations but when it comes to the rest of the world trump is on his own and it seems that his reputation as a great negotiator is on the rocks. r.t. washington d.c. former u.s. ambassador to croatia peter galbraith spoke to us about it he says it's unclear whether sanctions will have the effect that washington actually wants here than. if the case of iran is completely different from that of north korea first these are unilateral u.s. sanctions and they are it's because the entire international community except the united states thinks they are inappropriate that they're wrong and in the case of
8:25 am
iran iran feels that they had a valid agreement and that there's no lawful basis for doing it it's very hard to coerce people to do something which they think is in fact unlawful and goes against their their will so i think you sanction the u.s. sanctions which are unilateral opposed by the rest of the world there are unlikely to be sanctions on turkey like the sanctions on iran i think will cause real economic pain. but again as to whether they will accomplish their purpose that's very unclear although in the case of turkey it's a little more complicated because there was a deal to refer to free reverend run and turkey simply got it patients so it's quite possible that something will be worked out on that one. coming from the u.k. from london something happened about. cars crushed into security barriers at the
8:26 am
british parliament in london police have surrounded the vehicle that got the driver out no information about what actually happened they could have been a car to control no thoughts of the moment it could be in the do terrorism because people are on alert this comes just about a year after the terrorist drove into pedestrians and around the gates of parliament in a terror attack that left five dead but it is safe and no thoughts of this kind of things happening now but we will keep an eye on it cars crushed in security barriers at british parliament in london no information about him being there at the moment it looks like the situations on the control of. the u.n. has confirmed that one hundred civilians have been killed in the new wave of clashes between the taliban and afghan forces in the city of god's name. humanitarian colleagues have reported that heavy fighting in gaza city in the past three days has resulted in more than one hundred civilian casualties communications networks and electricity supply are currently down in the city resulting in water
8:27 am
shortages and food is also reportedly running low well fighting there escalated on friday when the taliban attempted to storm it into a control that would allow the group to link already captured areas close to the capital kabul if we're trying to this morning looks at how almost two decades of american led war in afghanistan has not made the country safer. this is what's happening just a little more than one hundred kilometers from the capital kabul there's barely a camera in gaza any available to film this dreadful battle locals say there are stronger descriptions than simply the tele band is back in action and if it wasn't for u.s. airstrikes the afghan army could have been in far worse trouble so it makes you wonder do american diplomats and their military keep in touch there is nothing that precludes us from in gauging with the taliban we're doing everything we can to
8:28 am
ensure that our actions help the taliban and the afghan government does the same table everything they can only a few weeks ago the state department said talking with the taliban was a good idea and regardless of how hostile their actions the extremists say they're forward to this is what we wanted and were waiting for to sit with the us directly and discuss the withdrawal of foreign troops from afghanistan. the rumor is there's already been some direct contact at least we know for sure alice wells went to qatar last month where the taliban's got a political office i'm confused the armed group has all but regained its might which not so long ago earned them a reputation of outright islamist barbarians in america and pretty much all over the world we acted and the taliban no longer is in power in afghanistan which is
8:29 am
not only good for the security of the free world it is incredibly good for the people who suffered in afghanistan on the barbaric rule time flies us administrations come and go fair enough but the things the people in charge say about insurgents today could be totally different tomorrow taliban this taliban that the taliban are fighting isis and we encourage that because isis needs to be destroyed. oh so they're good for something at least if it's about knocking out islamic state yet just a few months earlier general nicholson said the taliban's fight against dyess was a piece of russian propaganda we see here a narrative that's being used that grossly exaggerates the number of isis fighters here this narrative then is used as a justification for the russians to legitimize the actions of the taliban and provide some degree of support complicated heart of ghana's stan business as usual
8:30 am
and the american strategy for afghanistan see above the american strategy a strategy from the beginning of the so-called war on terror which was launched after the september eleventh attacks as this war has turned out to be an utter failure. you know i was we all know it was in a stronger position than it was in two thousand and one. so hence 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 the growth of terrorism the taliban is not just pulling out a gun it's firing it it could be time for the pentagon and the state department to hunt for ideas together and be more precise. in
8:31 am
time more than twenty five thousand refugees have returned to syria in the past four months authorities say the people have been coming back since victory of the terrorists was in and he goes down off that some of them. the border between syria and lebanon which is literally some two kilometers away from here is expected to become a major flood gate for those whose home sickness has turned into something big going to the actual return home right now we are at one out of five ports of entry established by the syrian government as they welcome its citizens home there were many things to run from terror. pointless and unspeakable brutality but now there's one homeland i know we suffered from terrorism for three years and eight months all kinds of weapons were used against us but we stood firm and did not give up and kept fighting until we were transferred here the terrorists who are against life itself against peaceful citizens women and children it was very
8:32 am
difficult for us to live but the terrorists were living in good conditions come to the terrorists left my city so i decided to return because it is safe there now i learned my town in syria is safe and that is why i decided to return with my family the government has promised to restore infrastructure in amman scale from hospitals to schools judging by the walls in this school there's a new subject on the curriculum and it's called survival from different types of landmines to improvised explosive devices and to simply objects that kids should be aware of this is what children in this school will be taught about when it opens this september but not everyone will be welcomed back to revive a peaceful existence here like the white helmet hailed as a rescue organization by the west damascus isn't looking forward to their return syria's living abroad who have committed nothing against their i mean you know
8:33 am
citizens should the sheer or nothing at all the government will ensure their safety and those who chose to flee the country should have committed the crimes. which made them very afraid of staying in the country so the white helmets are criminals and they should be treated this way there are many displaced syrians who are being moved against getting ready to come home just yet we think that it's premature to promote returns serious feel very secure they still a lot of work going on in syria even though out of the seven million people that escape the conflict almost equals the rule of them to come back to syria but there will be no hope rebuilding the country from the west florida will there be a particular western countries should support the return of syrian citizens and lift economic sanctions against syria because people who want to return need
8:34 am
schools hospitals food and shelter for their families the e.u. and the us have been and when we say the e.u. we must remember that britain is the driving force of the policy towards toward syria what britain and u.s. led you following along in its wake have since twenty eleven made it their policy to destroy syria to destroy the syrian government by any means necessary to facilitate a train and equip a sectarian brutal sectarian insurgency with laid waste to the country their policy has been to make syria uninhabitable and their policy remains to ensure that it stays uninhabitable so syrian refugees in europe absolutely caught between well a rock and a hard place is putting it very very mildly on the one hand they have the e.u. then the us still continuing to enact this policy of making their own country uninhabitable and then in the same time you have this growing fascist street
8:35 am
movement in. in the e.u. that's actually has even influence over for example the british government whose policy is to basically make european inhabit. war for them hatred towards this side unites a lot of syrians who chose to flee their country while now at least judging by the promises the syrian government seems to be extending an olive branch to those who seek to do no more damage done to reporting from syria oxy. ten fifteen am here now in moscow that means eight fifteen in the morning in rush hour in london and that's how the news is coming in from the cars crushed into security barriers at the houses of parliament earlier on about forty minutes ago these are live pictures now in from the sea armed police surrounded the vehicle seems the port saying they got the driver out then i have arrested him authorities also confirmed multiple pedestrians have been hurt in the incident maybe some
8:36 am
cyclist too but so far no further details provided on that was according to some eyewitnesses have been reported no word if this was a terror incident or not at this stage no reason to think that it is could be just a car going out of control but worth bearing in mind as well at the moment the british parliament is currently in summer recess so no m.p. sitting there at the moment but keep an eye on will hear what police have got to say about it and of course hopefully no serious injuries there but we'll be getting more i'm sure throughout the coming hours so. i'm just international as long as the external investigations into the suicide of two employees the death sparked an internal crisis about working conditions within the human rights organization the first person to talk about is ross mcgregor a twenty eight year old she took her life earlier this summer and interned for amnesty she worked in the geneva office according to her father she developed
8:37 am
health problems because of stress and committed suicide just a few days after returning home but out of five weeks after another suicide within the organization this time much older guy. gate sixty five veteran research who spent over thirty years working for the organization of the west africa he was found dead in a paris office and he left a suicide note in which she described pressure at work and the lack of management support a former employee shared her experience of working there with us to. the former researcher for israel and palestine based in jerusalem i resigned in two thousand and eighteen due to security and safety issues as well as lack of support from management when it came to dealing with the stress i was basically put in danger and my family was put in danger because of the work that i was doing with amnesty because i didn't even take the necessary precautions to protect the staff before having the office opened the program that amnesty had apparently had and i think
8:38 am
it's still in place is you receive three phone calls to an external facility just to listen to you and i try to explain to them that for me this doesn't weigh and sadly i didn't even get support when it came to health insurance and medical and medical assistance that i needed there due to the stress that there was under. promised a full and independent inquiry into the the midst of over four hundred staff demanded an investigation in an open letter pointed to the existence of support programs for employees and promises to learn from the probes. done against his people working for rights groups deserve to be protected. a lot of the journalists and a lot of human rights workers deal with these issues usually but with support from the organization i think the problem with with amnesty is there was a failure in the system in understanding the importance of mental health and resilience program within the institution itself you're talking about one of the biggest human rights organizations you're sending people to the field you're sending people to document human rights violations the priority is also ensuring
8:39 am
that these field workers and human rights activists and personnel are safe themselves before having having them report on the violations coming up donald trump's scandalous recording but how did she manage to dog security and get it recorded mouth in the first place that story much more awful could break. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't hold. to shape our disdain. and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
8:40 am
so here you have now this new attempt at a global unit of account a global currency big line that will be on the controlled by people not any government so it has the chance to do what's called fail to do to escape the intricacies of these subtle bankers and they will then economists. straight to pictures now from central london that incident has been reported in the
8:41 am
last and these live shots coming through so it's not that steady seems as if he's joining us a cars crashed into security barriers at the houses of parliament in london right about forty five minutes ago during rush hour than the driver was arrested at the scene by armed officers authorities have confirmed multiple pedestrians of been hurt in the incident has not provided any more details at the moment the metropolitan police said this happened at the seven thirty seven local time in the morning the car in collision with barriers outside this house the parliament male driver attended by officers at the scene again i'm just looking at their statement missing a number of pedestrians injured they say officers will remain the. issue further before when they have it they say armed police were shouting move back as quick as you can we're asking you for a reason as they swarmed on that area when this is reported seeing a woman sitting in a full blanket on the road there being treated by paramedics at the moment it's all we know no reason to think that this was a particular terror attack had been
8:42 am
a car to control but bear in mind of course this just put a year after terrorists masood drove into pedestrians and rammed those gates of parliament in a terror attack at the moment no one in parliament seen summer recess to keep across that you come to r.t. dot com. trumps prated is former aide moneygall newman after she released a scandalous recording of being fired by chief of staff john kelly but with as you a couple questions the president is nowhere. down the road this is a nod to go she will discussion. well as the controversy unfolds many security experts now than asking exactly how she was able to make that recording and get it out of getting what's supposed to be the most secure room in the white house.
8:43 am
yes and the national security expert said denouncing money goes recordings as a serious breach of ethics but also security i've never heard of a more serious breach of protocol not only is it not to mco something like this is unprecedented no proper employee of the white house brings funds into to see to
8:44 am
ration room it's totally privet it as someone who's spent a fair amount of time in the situation room i can't even begin to read my head around how insane this is if i carried for example a cell phone into the situation room the not only did she record conversations that but so potentially has any country or criminal organization thought to hack a phone as i understand it first off the entire area where the executive office of the president operates is a secure area and the people who are in there are all cleared personnel and are expected to behave ethically as far as taking a device into the situation room that would normally not be done i'm not sure would be any procedure through or specifically checking that unless some highly classified matter were about to be discussed in there and maybe they would take other precautions but normally you would you wouldn't expect you need to do that with people that are supposed to be there in a position of trust this opens up a whole bucket of or worms in terms of water on the procedures what are the
8:45 am
protections and what kind of behavior can we expect in the future the scandal surrounding the white house continue to provide bad headlines for the media save them of course from the usual some a drug to the stories. ok . i have not heard that the first tired of that crowd. in the situation. that's kind of libelous he never did anything like it it's it's
8:46 am
it's i mean it's as ever happened. we have one of them michael cohen secret recording of president trump back in two thousand and sixty made by cohen just weeks before the election about paying hush money to silence a former playmate had an alleged affair with named karen the google. collusion collusion collusion delusion. any minute now allude to nearly every. year. i've been using all the president's individual who basically portrayed his nation downright scary. and disturbing.
8:47 am
twenty seven year moskos strike. of london from westminster just a brief. crush on security barriers the right of the houses of parliament this morning and about fifteen minutes ago she. a rush out of the male driver already arrested at the scene offices of no reports of what's gone wrong here what the motives could have been maybe it was a car to control no thought at the moment that it was some sort of terror attack sorties have confirmed a number of pedestrians have been hurt there though reports of maybe a cyclist as well no word to say if it was a terror incident or not the british parliament currently in summer recess said cross that story. dot com.
8:48 am
we have no idea what safety is doing on her vacation but she will be back on air in september. america was never great was founded on the rape in the murder. nothing changed so we said all 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 are going to just sit back and allow children to see shot down law enforcement. this country
8:49 am
doesn't work for us it doesn't function for us. this is kept me happening in america we call from the streets we got to deal with life is the reason i have the rat like this is the reason. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand dollars fine tamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the old for rich key point six percent market saw 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 number you need
8:50 am
to remember is one one business so you can afford to miss the one and only boom box . guys are this is the kaiser report in our washington d.c. where a lot of things are happening and we're going to get them to it right now with sources well max we are here to see safety in a moose and his new book the big queen standard which is an instant classic as you say and we had dinner with him last night but what i want to talk about is the coin and understanding that coin because this is kind of the theme of this episode of course it is going to take down the pillars of government as you see behind us all the capitol hill and the white house and i want to look at a tweet here tweet stream that we had with the toshi nakamoto himself some
8:51 am
interactions we had with him or at least a guy who alleges he is he's a bit of a bonehead most people say but nevertheless somebody tweeted that you know a link to some of the people who should follow in order to understand crypto they put a. novelist. eric for he's roger of there and then professor faust who is this fakes a toshi guy and then max kaiser and he wrote about you he said you put me next to keyes or shill and ponzi temper of the decade berg bitcoin is cash freedom not some hostile ponzi so what do you have to say that max poppycock. well doesn't it stand really there is a history of money that came before bitcoin and that there's a need for people to have hard money and that there's a need to exit the government system and there's a need to exit the central bank system and if the object of your project like
8:52 am
becoming cash is to spend your way into debt then you are merely replicating all the worst aspects of the current system so i think this guy was sent here by antics of toshi the anti christ of big calling to keep people focused on what's important that is hotaling and bitcoin if there wasn't a craig or a he would have to be invented because you need the guy in the story who's the who's the nemesis who's the punching bag who's the loser and now we have we have it as dame as dr craig so in your interview in the second half of safety in a moose and you've just interviewed him so i got to see it you do mention that in chapter five of his book it's all about time preference so here is a guy who claims to have like thirty six masters degrees and seventeen ph d.'s and that he said oh she nakamoto and he invented this stuff and he therefore in his tweet displays that he himself does not understand economics that's the toshi not
8:53 am
comodo would have they would have understood time preference they would he would have understood the significance of time preference to developing and building wealth and this guy whoever dr craig wright is he doesn't understand that where he's saying it's all about spending not whole holding not building wealth not saving for the future and if somebody whoever invented. bitcoin they created a deflationary currency so it's very bizarre for somebody to say i use the toshi and in fact even though it's deflationary even though. to fix the ply even though it's mimics the way one mines gold even though all that stuff exists i actually meant you to spend it like it's a visa card not accumulate it stack it save it and build on it is the jim jones of the ghana suicide cult when it comes to big oil if he is
8:54 am
toshi then i'm oprah winfrey. and he doesn't understand the first thing about it or he may have at one point like satan remember it was a friend of christ true and then he was cast out of heaven when he became you know he was an angel and then he became satan craig rodger of a air being in the whole bitcoin cash or fallen angels they have become sick tonic and they are important because they provide the ipso facto the beta to the alpha the nemesis to the hero soto she is the hero craig wright is the villain i'm going to move on to the next headline but i do want to say in the past we have discussed it but we believe that what cash meant to the cypherpunks who developed because it's not just ones that toshi nakamoto it's whoever even if it was an individual they were building upon innovations and creations and ideas of the
8:55 am
entire cypherpunk movement of thirty years prior and cash was about anonymity and basically trust lists internet and permission lists interactions financial and communication so i think that's why this guy is it was never about competing you need forty thousand quadrillion calculations per second which is the current hash rate or thereabouts to buy a cup of coffee i don't think that's really the point the store of value proposition the ability to operate outside of the government with hard money store of value the first time in history is the use case so. dr. craig wright fake toshi in is no different than dr paul newman dr mengele but that's a bit harsh as you say dr paul kruger dr michael will go there and dr craig right they are eugenicists as was keynes ok it was the genesis to exactly let's keep that
8:56 am
in the past and let's move on to the future which is this headline i have a tweet regarding the trust listen a church of big coin people put more faith in a guy name so she nakamoto that no one has ever met than they do in the u.s. fed now the important thing about this is this quote comes from geoffrey spread sure he's the chairman and c.e.o. of the new york stock exchange which is another exchange they've just announced this new backed app which is a way to trade crypto currency used in the new york stock exchange but again people put more faith he observes and this anonymous guy names the toshi nakamoto who's nobody has ever met and they do in the us fed which is a very powerful observation it's a profound statement i mean doing invented fire no but doesn't stop me from using it do we know who invented the wheel you know but it doesn't stop me from using it but the thing is you don't need to trust anybody you don't need to trust the toshi
8:57 am
nakamoto you don't need to trust the person you're selling something to or it's selling your bitcoin to or trading your bit coin with because the block chain is is the distributed ledger is what you trust the math or what you trust so that's what you need to trust you don't need to trust that the maker of it no it's self evident and self realising they spontaneously self working protocol that is the turn wall street person into a big corner and that's like turning water into wine that's like turning loaves and fishes to feed the multitude you're taking a hard core. wall street monetarist loser in your rising them up like. to become cured of their idiocies and fallacies and disabuse them of their wall street ways to embrace bitcoin toshi nakamoto in the way of the block jane there's another headline regarding this guy because he was just recently interviewed and
8:58 am
forbes and several other publications of course because it was a big news that this app called backed is coming out from them big question could be the first worldwide currency new york stock exchange owner says he believes it could be a new currency he's also by the way the international intercontinental exchange is that i see exchange but. in terms of this becoming a global currency i think it makes so much sense in terms of how we've lost our way we have all these trade wars. that's i think a more violent way to resolve a situation where the likes of germany and china have massive massive trade surpluses and the united states has a massive deficit the united states because it's a nation and yet the globe uses its currency it has to run a deficit so will always run a deficit which means that it will bleed wealth creating jobs it will bleed all those the heartland of manufacturing and then we will lead to a situation like today where we have like
8:59 am
a mass meltdown in the in the partisanship that hysteria across how the people don't trust each other nobody everybody hates each other and it's partly to do with this huge trade deficit and the nature of our global financial system which has you know an resolved without resorting to either going back to a gold standard for global trade or because well he's wrong about big claim possibly being the first global currency because of course gold was the first you know the currency in the nineteenth century particularly in the second half of the nineteenth century the greatest period of innovation in the history of the world if you read the big price standard you'll know that he was. quoting from the book and because you had a global unit of account so people could do business there was no five trillion dollar day forex market which some essential equate to kind of a partial barter system which is pretty kind of use of money so here you have now
9:00 am
this new attempt at a global unit of account a global currency big coin that will be controlled by people not any subtle government so it has the chance to do what gold failed to do to scale the interest t's of the central bankers and they have p.h.d. wilting economists the fact that it's censorship resistant and permission i think could be though the trigger that sets it off into. being a global currency a global unit of account for trade because you see the likes of venezuela the likes of iran being cut off from the financial grid you see swift being used as a weapon and. people like mass of countries like china china rejects us request to cut iran oil imports so here's a country any country needs oil they need energy to build they need energy for manufacturing for creating wealth and they're being told you can't do that you
9:01 am
can't import these because we control the financial grid i think necessity will lead to ultimately a better outcome which is a bit quaint standard or a gold standard either way but it looks like certainly china is preparing for a gold standard they've been buying up a lot of gold but it could be a unit of account. seeking. where sent transactions cannot be censored and i think that's the future that we have created ourselves because of these buildings behind us it's such a you know censorship of money that we don't like and such a ship of words you know we like our first amendment right delhi well speaking of all these fantastic censorship related immutable blah chain because revolutions from the ground up in the second half are talking to say fifteen a moose the author of the bitcoin standard so don't go away stay right there.
9:02 am
i. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer and it be killing the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict is found innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying the is just no way to parent and that we're even many victims' families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to get pell here is because that's what murder victims' families what that's going to give them peace that's going to give
9:03 am
them justice and we come in and say. not quite enough we've been through this this isn't their wake. welcome back to the kaiser report i'm asked guys are time now to turn to safety and author of the bit coy standard safety welcome thank you so much for having me again next it's a pleasure to be here yeah it's a really fantastic book that is gaining a lot of attention all over the crypto community and all over the really economics profession is looking at this because this is the first major change in monetary history we've had in many hundreds of years actually. people say first question the use case for a bit coin is what and one of the things that is very important to understand is
9:04 am
that this is money that can be controlled completely outside of government and that's a huge break in the history of money and as vastly important can just speak on that to begin with yes so i think a common problem is that the problem will have a big quinn as somebody put it to me is that bitcoin has been mis evangelized people have marketed bitcoin as a cheaper better pay pal or a cheaper better visa and master card i think that's a complete category error it's completely missing the point of what bitcoin is and why bitcoin is important because it is not meant to be a consumer payment network because it will have consumer payment networks installed on top of it because it is more like a reserve assets or more like the base money that is used for the settlement of consumer payments so this is the point of my book was really to try and explain that in the title of the bitcoin standard tries to get the point across by drawing
9:05 am
analogy with the gold standard and i think this is really the better way of understanding how bitcoin functions as similar to the gold in a financial system and then consumer payments are layered on top of that the last continue on this idea that's gold outside of the governments because. governments and the. a central banking system in the c.s. money system and even with gold and under the control mostly of governments and gold bullion banks people do not have really the freedom that they would hope to have in a free society because their money is actually controlled and therefore they are controlled by putting money outside of the banking system and giving people access to this unimpeachable immutable sound of money or hard money you change the dynamic between people and government that's extraordinary and all the possible it because i mean i'll just talk about it at length of the book expand on a little yeah absolutely i think
9:06 am
a very important book to read about this which preceded bitcoin is the sovereign individual by davidson and reese mog it was written one hundred ninety seven but they discussed the creation of something very similar to bitcoin as the final missing jigsaw puzzle piece that will complete this shift away from having more and more government power and control over monetary assets and over individuals towards moving more towards a society in which individuals themselves have the sovereignty and specifically the idea is that this is the telecommunications. and all of this modern technology that we have is moving individuals towards having more sovereignty and more control because more and more of the economic activity of the world is now informational it's not physical it doesn't require physical capital it's data it's information it's knowledge and information and knowledge is very hard to control with guns it's very hard to course it's very hard to. put in the service of people with guns you
9:07 am
mentioned men with guns there parker ignorant of the new york times recently wrote an editorial criticizing because and as he's done several times he said one thing about dollars and money in the history of money is that it has progressed really taken friction out of money. and the use of bunny and ultimately however the u.s. dollar we have to remember it's backed by men with guns yes now. is our by any chance friction exactly it's a so remarkably stupid thing to say i think you know the improvements in payment settlements are not things that governments introduced the improvements in payments technology became because of the telegraph and because of the telephone and because of all the methods of communication and transportation. and governments imposed an imposition on our police on these infrastructures has not to reduce the friction of this like that any kind of government monopoly does not help the consumers because of the dozens of districts there are choices of the consumers and of the providers
9:08 am
so by turning this into a monopoly it does not help the advancement of these things on the contrary it does the exact opposite and the idea that you know having men with guns threatening people and throwing them into jail is somehow something to to boast about about how your currency is better i think it's quite astonishing you know that the fact that any business or any individual go around saying well you know my business is better because if you don't use mine then we would shoot you or throw you into jail i think tells you everything you need to know about the kind of business that they're running it's not something that would be chosen freely on the markets otherwise it would need men with guns behind it so you know the history of the evolution of money and the evolution of payments and the evolutions of the evolution of payment networks and banking is the history of human innovation and ingenuity on the one hand and then human violence and then with a gun trying to co-opt that to the benefit of individuals or governments or groups that the benefit from that but we see this in any kind of
9:09 am
a market economics system when there's a free market when there's competition when people are free to have a choice between different options the best option wins when governments are interest will have a choice of free choice that gets into. historical economic considerations and actually the big quite standard is in my mind the really three books there's the bitcoin book there's a brilliant encapsulation a history of austrian economics which for folks who are interested in austria economics they can get a lot by reading this book and thirdly it's a bit of a self-help book you know chapter five talking about high time and low time preference is of it's a very interesting look at how it can economies work but that idea of choice that you keep bringing up and. people i think would like to choose to get out of a system that we're in there now were banks like wells fargo are serial. you know
9:10 am
criminals all the major banks in the u.k. in the u.s. are engaged in strip serial criminality and this concept of too big to sell and their co-option of the system and their ability to simply print money whenever they make a mistake they just print more money to cover up that mistake people if they had the option to choose a different system i think would choose a different system and so because is that path right i mean you can choose to opt out of the serial criminality of wall street and wall street banks by moving from money to hard money big quite right absolutely this is the incredible thing about bitcoin and why it's this is the truly astonishing innovation because the men with guns country to stop it it's not exactly something that can be stopped because it's not physical there are no locations to it and you know there are no in my book i have a section of the book that discusses how to kill bitcoin and i illustrate how it's
9:11 am
just not easy it's as an easy thing to do so effectively anybody in the world with an internet connection and that means a growing percentage of the planet right now is able to have access to a hard form of money that can't be inflated and that's really the key concept we're having to get you know. we are putting the men with guns on the side because people now have the choice to opt out they have chose to go around the men with guns and the guns can stop the data going through wires so or through satellites or whatever so the we're going to see this and we're seeing the free market competition now and the guns won't help governments money as people just simply can't exit almost untraceable e. and without knowing that with those on any ability to detect them you know somebody could have their part of their life savings put in that quine and if more and more people doing this it becomes more and more profitable for others to hold bitcoin and the network continues to grow and provides a serious alternative to central banking which is what really is the subtitle of my
9:12 am
book and that's really all how i think of the importance of a bitcoin it's an alternative to a system of government monopolies on central banks around the world where you just get to. choose to take part in a system that performs the functions of central banks in terms of payment settlement internationally and monetary policy internationally without having to resort to the central bank is an astonishing idea if you think about it you know for for people like crewman you know central banking was the crowning achievement of financial innovation that finally you know after all these centuries we've managed to find this model of a central bank that has a monopoly that can in force force people to use its own currency and you know protect the banking system which there are so micro for a second because of course he represents a school of keynesianism yes and this is a school really austrian school hard money school keynesians kind of define the economy as level of spending and they're willing to go into debt to spend they have
9:13 am
no recognition of hard money whatsoever you know i say in the show a lot of times you can have capitalism a capital and you can have capital without a savings rate that encourages people to say because that's where you get the money there's a build your economy that's kind of an austrian concept in a way. so here you have finally a way you know to kansans out there the krugman is out they have the federal government in the central banks on their side. clearly they're corrupt clearly they are pushing war clearly they're pushing indebtedness they're the ones behind student debt they're the ones behind medical debt because they don't think that's a problem they think it never as keynes said you know in the long run we all die some to that effect that they never there's never a reconciliation but hard money of course was dominated by gold thinking that's where we first met was talking about gold eight years ago or so but big oil out of that not only hard money and for saving but to do it completely outside of the
9:14 am
government system in a way or you're believing the government of its ability to coerce yes and entered is schemes that are underwriting the health system the education system and in ways that are not healthy let's talk about chapter five for seconds which i've heard you speak recently said your favorite chapter after it's about time preference high time preference low time preference a kind of plays into the little bit talk about this if you can't yeah this is a very important concept i think possibly the most important concept in economics i make sure to teach in every class that i teach whatever the topic of the class i have to get this through to my students because i believe it's the most important concept you could learn in economics and of course you know in the modern economic university textbook it's not even mentioned the concept is just relates to how much people discount the future compared to the present so people with a high time preference have a high discount rate on the future and they don't think of the future much they prefer to focus on the present people with
9:15 am
a low time preference think more of the future than people who are time preference and this i think is an enormously important concept because on an individual level you know your own success in life your own whatever you want to achieve sure outside factors will affect you but. more important than outside factors more important than everything else in the world is your own time preface your own ability to prioritize the future over the present so a person with a high time preference who keeps ignoring the present and focusing on the sort of keeps ignoring the future and focusing on the present will suffer the consequences of that in the long run you know you can think of the example of say professional athletes who make a lot of money and then you know once they get tired they're broke because no matter how much money they make they're always spending more and more of it on the other hand full time prefer to think of the people who are born in poverty don't have the blessing of same athlete or artistic ability and yet they work hard all their life and they save and they accumulate capital and their livelihood improves
9:16 am
over time i think you know this force of just how you orient yourself what to the for the future towards the present is one of the most important economic right this is i want to jump in and say that's a bit of a self-help book if you will because on page seventy seven of the big points standard you write while microeconomics is focused on transactions between individuals and macro economics on the role of government in the economy the reality is that most important economic decisions to any individual's well being are the ones they conduct in their trade offs with to their future self exactly every day and individual conduct a few of these transactions any all has an impact effectively on their future self you're constantly you are an economic machine in this way absolutely if you have a government and a system that's encouraging you to go into debt perpetually you are going to find yourself invariably watching junk t.v. eating junk food watching junk art o.b.'s unhappy and. i
9:17 am
wouldn't think inevitably but i would say it definitely biases your desire we have them or there will come back we'll do some more we've got to say goodbye for now that's going to do it for this edition can say for a second. that's going to do it for this edition of the kaiser is for with me max kaiser and stays there. but like to thank our guest safety in a most if you like with the bitcoin standard the immediate classic join to catch us on twitter it's kaiser report and select. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've mater the u.s. is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten point colored timestamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight
9:18 am
point six percent of the market saw 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 show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. america was never great was founded on a rape in a murder. nothing changed so we said all responses 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
9:19 am
just no way that people are going to just sit back and allow children to be shot down by law enforcement. this country doesn't work for us it doesn't function for. this this can't be happening in america we call from the streets we got to deal with why this is the reason i have to rat like this is the reason. i. was. i was.
9:20 am
this morning at the houses of parliament in london injuring a number of people police arrested. everyone gets the cold shoulder for imposing sanctions on middle east nations with a rod in the same will be no negotiations with the us and. condemning it. relates to the afghan government the taliban have killed over one hundred civilians with washington to show whether it's cooperating or fighting with the. story about. the two suicides in the organization of pressure and
9:21 am
a lack of support. was basically put in danger and my family was put in danger because of the work that i was doing with amnesty because i didn't even take the necessary precautions to protect the staff before having the office open. for good morning when i was kevin over and this is all to international live from moscow just after eleven am here just after none in the morning then in london top stories coming in from a car as crime. security barriers at the houses of parliament earlier this morning injuring a number of people male drivers thing to tell you the seen by police. the the.
9:22 am
so dramatic scene part of the course in recess at the moment but the close to this is going to join us live on the phone from london. what we know so far about this it looks spoil all intents and purposes the police have got a handle on it anyway doesn't it well that given what we know so far that this is indeed an incident that occurred occurred earlier today in the heart of london right in front of from parliament and what we know so far is this happened just before eight am local time and a car indeed smashed into security barriers outside the houses of parliament after hitting several cyclists now this is always a very busy area in london with a lot of tourists usually even around this time of day and also people getting to
9:23 am
work around this time as well but we know so far that met one man has been arrested at the scene by armed police no wait and see given yes or no details of who he is the area has been cordoned off and parliament square has also been shut down right now we do know that there is a large number of police cars on site and the metropolitan police have said that out of the several decedents who have been injured they believe that no one is in a life threatening condition and of course because this is just an ravelled a little while ago that we. they're still trying to piece together what exactly happened and will be issuing more information when they have it but they have said that they're taking it and did very serious but surely we will be having more details in a minute an hour come see year now isn't it since some terrorist drove in to protest trains and around the gates apartment then a terror attack that killed five people so obviously there's nothing to say at the moment that this was a terror attack could have been a car just out of control could have been some other maybe police chases some of
9:24 am
the went wrong we don't know at the moment police still yet some officially comment but of course it's always in the back of people's minds of this kind of things especially in an area like that could happen although of course parliament's in recess for the summer isn't at the moment indeed have been led to a court but then given the history of that i think they did happening in the part where there's a lot of question being heated to even like this and indeed it being said that the security barriers that were put up in front of houses of parliament parliament were actually put there following. it didn't break there now of course that way too early could be anything right now we'll be watching what it is exactly that we find but it is again being treated very very. nasty part of a team there over there in the u.k. i'll let you get back down to try and get a bit more of a handle on what's going on here this morning thanks for the update as you know this morning from central london there. other news this morning iran's supreme leader says he won't negotiate with
9:25 am
washington after president trump's latest offer to talk about improving ties coming days the latest head of a country doing to give the u.s. president the brush off amid a sanctions spree caleb maupin reports. donald trump not known for his modesty never stops bragging about the fact that he wrote the art of the deal seems that when it comes to his role as commander in chief he sees himself as almost the great negotiator and when it comes to north korea you could argue that his approach kind of worked he is a sick puppy rocket man is on a suicide mission for him so. this not make it worse threats to the united states. they will be met with fire fury. like the world has never seen since taking office donald trump has played up the so-called threat of another geo political rival of america threat posed by
9:26 am
iran whose chief exports are violence bloodshed and chaos all nations of conscience most worked together to isolate for a minute it started to look like things were cooling off and maybe the talks were on the table i believe in meeting i would certainly meet with the rent if they wanted to meet and ready to meet anytime they want to but he ron's supreme leader wasn't having it i mean look you know there will be no war nor will we negotiate with the us it is impossible even if someday the government of the islamic republic of iran were to negotiate with the us regime it would never negotiate with the current government of the us. and then there is turkey and its detention of pastor and live brunson the turkish authorities say was tied to the twenty sixteen who attempt now trump says he wants him released. the united states will impose large sanctions on turkey for the long time detainment of pastor andrew brunson this
9:27 am
innocent man of faith should be released immediately i have just authorized a doubling of terrorists and still and with respect to turkey as the currency the turkish lira slides rapidly downward against a very strong dollar our relations with turkey are not good at this time. but turkey is in a budget and just like trump era one knows how to talk tough not talk about we are going to remain cook and then you stab your strategic partner in the back we will do as the law dictates you cannot simply make sure down our boss and us around meanwhile russia is not exactly caving in the face of sanctions yes it was possible to put the but if some ban on banks operations or on their use of i want to or another appearance at all it will be possible to clearly call it a collaboration of economic and work and it would be necessary to react to this work economically politically or by other means we did it in our american friends
9:28 am
to let me to understand this let's remember that those sanctions on north korea were not unilateral they were actually imposed by the united nations but when it comes to the rest of the world trump is on his own it seems that his reputation as a great negotiator is on the rocks. r.t. washington d.c. former u.s. ambassador to creation peter galbraith says it's clear whether sanctions will have the effect that washington actually wants here. the case of iran is completely different from that of north korea first these are unilateral u.s. sanctions and they are that the entire international community except the united states thinks they are inappropriate that they're wrong and in the case of iran iran feels that they had a valid agreement and that there's no lawful basis for doing it it's very hard to coerce people to do something which they think is in fact unlawful and goes
9:29 am
against their their will so i think you sanction the u.s. sanctions which are unilateral opposed by the rest of the world there are unlikely to be sanctions on turkey like the sanctions on iran i think will cause real economic pain. but again as to whether they will accomplish their purpose that's very unclear although in the case of turkey it's a little more complicated because there was that deal to refer to free reverend run and turkey simply got it patients so it's quite possible something will be worked out on that one. the u.n. is confirmed that over one hundred civilians have been killed in a new wave of clashes between the taliban and afghan forces in the city of gaza any . humanitarian colleagues have reported that heavy fighting in gaza city in the past three days has resulted in more than one hundred civilian casualties communications networks and electricity supply are currently down in the city
9:30 am
resulting in water shortages and food is also reportedly running low fighting there escalated on friday when the taliban attempted to storm it and take control it would allow the group to link already captured areas close to the capital kabul it would try and kill looks at how almost two decades of american led war in afghanistan has not made the country paid to leave and safer. this is what's happening just a little more than one hundred kilometers from the capital kabul there's barely a camera in gaza any available to film this dreadful battle locals say there are stronger descriptions than simply the tele band is back in action and if it wasn't for u.s. airstrikes and discuss the withdrawal of foreign troops from afghanistan the rumor is there's already been some direct contact at least we know for sure alice wells
9:31 am
went to qatar last month where the taliban's got political office i'm confused the armed group has all but regained its might which not so long ago are in them a reputation of out right islamist barbarians in america and pretty much all over the world we acted and the taliban no longer is in power in afghanistan which is not only good for the security of the free world it is incredibly good for the people who suffered in afghanistan on the barbaric rule. time flies us administrations common go fair enough but the things the people in charge say about insurgents today could be totally different tomorrow taliban this taliban that the taliban are fighting isis and we encourage that because isis needs to be destroyed. oh so they're good for something at least if it's about knocking out
9:32 am
islamic state yet just a few months earlier general nicholson said the taliban's fight against dyess was a piece of russian propaganda we see or a narrative that's being used that grossly exaggerates the number of isis fighters here this narrative then is used as a justification for the russians to legitimize the actions of the taliban and provide some degree of support complicated heart of ghana's stan business as usual and the american strategy for afghanistan see above the american strategy a strategy from the beginning of the so-called war on terror which was launched after the september eleventh attacks as chose or so as this war has turned out to be an utter failure. you know i was we all know taliban now is in a stronger position than it ever was in two thousand and one. so hence 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.
9:33 am
involvement up until now when the focus on military force in the region has that to the growth of terrorism the taliban is not just pulling out a gun it's firing it it could be time for the pentagon and the state department to hunt for ideas together and be more precise. in some of the twenty five thousand refugees have returned to syria in the past four months authorities say that people have been coming back since victory of the terrorists was announced a correspondent egos down off that some of them. and the border between syria and lebanon which is literally some two kilometers away from here is expected to become a major flood gate for those whose home sickness has turned into something bigger into the actual return home right now we are at one out of five ports of entry established by the syrian government as they welcome its citizens home there were many things to run from terror. pointless and unspeakable brutality
9:34 am
but now this is one homeland. we suffered from terrorism for three years and eight months all kinds of weapons were used against us but we stood firm and did not give up and kept fighting until we were transferred here the terrorists who are against life itself against peaceful citizens women and children it was very difficult for us to live but the terrorists were living in good conditions come to the terrorists left my city so i decided to return because it is safe there now and my town in syria is safe that is why i decided to return with my family the government has promised to restore infrastructure in amman scale from hospitals to schools judging by the walls in this school there's a new subject on the curriculum and it's called survival from different types of landmines to improvised explosive devices and to simply objects that kids should be
9:35 am
aware of this is what children in this school will be taught about when it opens this september but not everyone will be welcomed back to revive a peaceful existence here like the white house hailed as a rescue organization by the west damascus isn't looking forward to their return syria's living abroad who have committed nothing against their i mean you know citizens should feel nothing at all the government will ensure their safety and those who chose to flee the country should have committed the crimes. which made them very afraid of staying in the country so the white helmets are criminals and they should be treated this way there are many displaced syrians who are being moved against getting ready to come home just yet we think that it's premature to promote returns serious still very insecure still
9:36 am
a lot of war going on in syria even though out of the seven million people that escape the conflict almost equals the rule of them to come back to syria but there will be no hope rebuilding the country from the west far to do over to be a particular western countries should support the return of syrian citizenship and lift economic sanctions against syria because people who want to return need schools hospitals food and shelter for their families the e.u. and the us have been when we say the e.u. we must remember that britain is the driving force of the policy towards toward syria what britain and us led in you following along in its wake have since twenty eleven made it their policy to destroy syria to destroy the syrian government by any means necessary to facilitate a train and equip a sectarian brutal sectarian insurgency that laid waste to the country their policy
9:37 am
has been to make syria uninhabitable and their policy remains to ensure that it stays uninhabitable so syrian refugees in europe are absolutely caught between well a rock and a hard place is putting it very very mildly on the one hand they have the e.u. then the us still continue to enact this policy of making their own country uninhabitable and then in the same time you have this growing fascist street movement in. in the e.u. that's actually has even influence over for example the british government whose policy is to basically make european inhabit. for them hatred towards this side unites a lot of syrians who chose to flee their country well now if these judging by the promises the syrian government seems to be extending an olive branch to those who seek to do no more damage done of reporting from syria oxy. truculent singing your screens the cars crushed into security parliament small in
9:38 am
trying to get a handle on where that's going please do have a handle on it also to dole trumps out former aide and that recording of his sacking but how did she manage to dodge whiter security in order to make it and get it out that's raising big questions we'll talk about it after the break. manufacture consents to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round there's only the one percent. we can all middle of the room sick. i mean real news.
9:39 am
you know world big partisan movie lives and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to get 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 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. again amnesty international's launch to external investigations into the suicide of two employees the death sparked an internal crisis about working conditions within the human rights organization first case in point lady called
9:40 am
a rose mcgregor she was twenty eight years old when she took her life earlier this summer and in turn she was from misty she works in geneva according to her father she developed health problems because of stress work related stress he says and committed suicide just a few days after returning home well that that happened five weeks off another suicide within the organization let me tell you about the next person this guy was a sixty five year old is named gayton moto a veteran research and he spent over thirty years in west africa with him he was found dead in amnesty's paris office and he left a suicide note in which he described pressure at work and a lack of management support to stay employed shared their experience of working there with us. as the former researcher for israel and palestine based in jerusalem i resigned in two thousand and eighteen due to security and safety issues as well as lack of support from management when it came to dealing with the stress i was basically put in danger and my family was put in danger because of the work that i was doing with amnesty because anas didn't even take the necessary precautions to
9:41 am
protect the staff before having the office opened the program that amnesty had apparently had and i think it's still in place is you receive three phone calls to an external facility just to listen to you and i try to explain to them that for me this doesn't weigh and sadly i didn't even get support when it came to health insurance and medical and medical assistance that i needed there due to the stress that i was under. probably fall an independent inquiries into the midst of over four hundred staff demanded an investigation in an open letter pointed to the existence of support programs for employees and promises to learn from the probes are done against his people working for rights groups deserve to be protected to. a lot of the journalists and a lot of human rights workers deal with these issues usually but with support from the organization i think the problem with with amnesty is there was a failure in the system in understanding the importance of mental health and
9:42 am
resilience program within the institution itself you're talking about one of the biggest human rights organizations you're sending people to the field you're sending people to document human rights violations the priority is also ensuring that these field workers and human rights activists and personnel are safe themselves before having having them report on the violations. double traumas paraded is former good human after she released a scandalous recording of her being fired by chief of staff john kelly. but wait a minute ask you a couple questions does the president it's at nowhere that don't do it's not go down the road this is unknown to go she will discussion now is the controversy unfolds many security experts are asking how exactly it was that month ago was able to actually make that recording of what's supposed to be the most secure room in the white house.
9:43 am

9:44 am
ration room it's totally precipitate as someone who's spent a fair amount of time in the situation room i can't even begin to wrap my head around how insane this is if i carried for example a cell phone into the situation room the not only did she record conversations that but so potentially has any country or criminal organization that thought to hack a phone as i understand it first off the entire area where the executive office of the president operates is a secure area and the people who are in there are all cleared personnel and are expected to behave ethically as far as taking a device into the situation room that would normally not be done i'm not sure would be any procedure through or specifically checking that unless some highly classified matter were about to be discussed in there and maybe they would take other precautions but normally you would you wouldn't expect you need to do that with people that are supposed to be there in a position of trust this opens up a whole bucket of or arms it terms of water on the procedures what are the
9:45 am
protections and what kind of behavior can we expect in the future if you live the international lead twenty five moscow time twenty five past nine in the morning therefore in london it goes straight to those pictures that we're going to bring in from central london they're from millbank. stations close streets around millbank parliament square victoria cordoned off because earlier on today during the rush hour and a half ago a car crashed in security barriers at the houses of parliament it happened during rush hour obviously male drivers been arrested at the scene and offices sorties have also confirmed a number of pedestrians. no confirmation on the severity of their injuries two people taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries apparently a counterterrorism unit is leading the investigation there there's no information on a motive yet could have been a car to control this. to say it was terrorism but of course the. ironic may be that the crushed into security ball isn't in place a to stop this kind of thing
9:46 am
