then helen there are people going to have the confidence to complete in future because not just about the person complained of oh it's the confidentiality of the complainants and the scottish government would break the lack of that in jollity so we told them to not make that statement because we were taking the action in the court of session but it's an extraordinary situation when the scottish government starts to break its own confidentiality after the shooting everybody connected with this that that was going to be absolutely protected for the process. well let's understand what's unique about the scottish government process is that talking about events of many years ago and i'm not a selling scottish government minister i'm not you the name here they misspeak the present moment and therefore it's really important if you try and introduce such a retrospective procedure that you make sure that the passenger who is being complained of it has the opportunity to properly present the case the scottish government's been making the position look the should apply to everybody including

former first ministers i absolutely agree and everybody including former first ministers and everybody in the land is intitled to a fear of process and a chance to state the case fairly what could be wrong with that but no you know we're i say the only good i can see coming out of this is we're on our way to the court to session that's a real court of real judgment with fear process is the only the decision and then we'll all have to weber's. now french police have described this southeastern fifty have been able near the alps as the french chicago they've expressed grave concern over the rocketing crime rates there which could lead to some politicians to try and avoid be area.

out. active. and in detroit. the trail. find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back now in the u.s. states of louisiana for activists an agenda that just have been arrested and charged under a controversial new law the remaining out to say that now facing increased place repression including the use of tasers let's take a look at the pipeline at the center of the story.

well the new law took effect on august the fest and this pipeline says critical infrastructure which makes trespassing on the ground that built illegal those disobey an answer risk a hefty fine or as long as five years behind us activists say that's the number of

off place offices were also a way for a private security firm to protect the construction sites that no longer waking in that capacity activist had told believes the law the new little goes against america's core principles. let me think of the right word data city as well as the desperation of its companies this was these legislators in trying to hide how pathetically an american this kind of a law is this privatization of unconstitutional actions that have not been held up in the supreme court and clearly don't measure up to the law of the land the constitution this needs to be understood as something that should be contained in so that it doesn't spread throughout the united states and so it does not spread throughout the rest of the world ted told the activists you just heard from will

say took part in the case a pipeline protest that projects faced opposition by the says that drinking water would be polluted and indian heritage sites to screwing. her. on numerous occasions the protests that and violence with state nor in forces as well as the national guard's engaging in standoff with the activists offices used force to disperse crowds and more to come in freezing temperatures hundreds of people were injured some seriously now place defended their actions saying the activists were trespassing and rioting describing them as very aggressive his ted told again with his take home outs. i believe that any kind of perceived by it is that whatever occurred would need to be under incredible scrutiny because it's doubtful that advocates for farmers rights advocates for

landowner rights to the kids who are probably exceeds seem to claim that future are going to resort to that kind of to sit in a civilised approach. french property anus using the online ranting save with facing legal action for refusing prospective holiday tenants based on their ethnicity french journalist my way who is of north african descent claims that when he tried to book an apartment in must say his reservation with councils without taxpayer nation but when he also friends who he describes as having a good french day to try and book the property he was told it was available for. posting his story online says hundreds came forward saying they'd been treated the same by evelyn the words. they responded saying it's sorry for what happens and underline that it doesn't tolerate any form of discrimination well we discussed the

incident with french lawyer and a power spaced political commentator. i think there's a problem with part of the foreign committee usa in the large sense today in france which has got a bad image and some people would rather not read than rants to people who got this bad image and particularly within the north african community is giving some are jews who are racist people who don't want to see enough african post in their house and lot of people will be people coming from our south africa crime to incivility to terrorism and unfortunately these are some of the reasons why we speak a lot of the north african community today i don't agree with the thing that we can sum up the reality of people acting or having delinquent behavior just by giving roots of this people but this has nothing to do this has nothing to do explaining the behavior again i'm not saying the end tire north african twenty

eight there are a lot of lies a suggestion i work with interests and there nazis that yasser i'm to i'm just telling you there is a problem which has to be settled i have no people from the north african to meet who are ashamed of what other people in their community and you can see this unfortunate on a daily basis imagine the french person who has no contacts with the north african community but who read the press on a daily basis and weeds people who have been committing crimes who have been terror who are terrorists who are advocating death to france or that they hate tracks and every time to read this unfortunately again i'm the first to say unfortunately unfortunately see that they're often associated with the name from north africa now if there are people who are considering that the route the original behavior the. sexual or attention or the faith or the own faith is. a good purpose to discriminate they are wrong on their own not respecting the law this is what we have to remind in of in the states which is

a state of law. washington has hinted it could hit tech a with sanctions everest efficiency by russian made as offensive to the u.s. is also a want against other nato allies having similar. you know it goes against our policy to have a nato allies such as turkey use an asse four hundred system part of the problem with that is that it is not in iraq robel with other nato systems and so we are against the having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase us for hundreds of your cats is not going to get into that but we have made very clear what could trigger sanctions for other countries and entities around the world the russian made s. four hundred myself ystem is capable of hitting multiple high speed aerial tug is within a range of four hundred comments if the dail signed by a tech in russia last it is with two point five billion dollars and the first

systems will be delivered next hit and press has been looking to bolster its ads offensive since the u.s. withdrew its patriot missiles from the syrian border region back in two thousand and fifteen. russia has long time military trade partners from all over the world as the head of the state tom's exporter explains this to us that i'm looking at the s four hundred as the most advanced missile defense system in the world countries are already lining up to purchase it we have gained a firm food hold in the markets of our contras there is a traditional balkans ship with india and china. and the collective security drill to organization also work with military industries on more than ours and forces. however it's not in a ten k. going against the grain when it comes to the defense trade in america they outspoken president of the philippines house dismissed an office to buy u.s. made f.

sixteen fighter jets saying buying them would be utterly useless. we do not need him sixteen it would be totally useless to the body but they need a few look there are some small things what you've done. rodrigo that pay made the office signs by washington's top brass public during a military ceremony the president then highlighted the latter from the u.s. defense and state secretary came off to officials in washington have made humiliating comments about his country's crackdown on drugs security analyst charles schumer bridge thinks the u.s. is pushing arms sales to political leverage point we thought from the operational military perspective of sixteen's are not much use in the immediate threats that he perceives the philippines faces and he perceives it's good reason but there is i

think more today what we're talking about here is trying to use as a means of leverage to control the fallen policies of other countries and that's exactly what the philippine president regardless of whether one likes him or not always policies that he has correctly identified that america uses this to pressure its allies into staying as allies after all that's a got the philippines president objected to basically said don't forget the south is about more than capability it's also about a relationship you buy american weapons you're investing in a relationship. now san francisco the golden gate fifty nine fritz babies and stunning landscape is apparently awash in human waste the problem has got so bad that special teams are being deployed sixteen the place up. it's the worst you've seen and i will say that there is more there's more. on the sidewalks and i've ever seen you know growing up here that was something that did

not wasn't the norm but the first thing that i've ever seen for sure. san francisco is because city where you needed three hundred fifty thousand dollar income to afford a median priced home in a city that has just announced a new patrol to clean up the streets instead of telling people to use a bathroom san francisco is going to send a control to pick. a six person crew that goes around the suited to cleanup how much would you have to make to do this job. nobody wants to step in feces i have children i don't want to do that either i

don't like finding use needles but there are approaches in the city is trying but we actually need some federal help in this case in my opinion. you've got to get your hands dirty if you can only possible. i'll be back in just over thirty minutes with the latest headlines for you then. kurth.

climaxed kaiser one for my guide to financial survival this is. a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these hedge funds are simply not accountable and we're just adding more and more to the. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get in for god's kaiser. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be 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 the is just

moon doesn't mean 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 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. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle is democratic socialism the future of the democratic party the future of america is moving to the left a winning strategy to take on donald trump's vision of conservative populism one

thing is undeniable mainstream politics in both parties were under pressure to evolve and become more accountable. cross talking democratic socialism i'm joined by my guest steve malzberg in new york he's a conservative political commentator in washington we have ivan eland he is a senior fellow at the center on peace and liberty at the independent institute and in los angeles we cross to run the cone he is a comedian is a frequent guest on the jimmy doris show and the young turks as well as host of his own streaming show get your news on withdrawn all right gentlemen crosstalk rules and effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate i always go to the person that got up early is for the program so that means it's you ron in los angeles god bless your soul. we you know we hear a lot about the the rise of democratic socialism. that turn to the left in the

party though the donors don't seem to want to go there what is democratic socialism because i'd like to remind our viewers i've lived in communist eastern europe and they call that democratic socialism ok and they didn't have a lot of birkenstocks and they didn't have a lot of capital to point out so ron what is that in a nutshell go ahead well democratic socialism in the contemporary american sense i mean you know whenever people throw around these terms you need to factor in you know the snapshot in contemporary time but i democratic socialism is certainly not authoritarian source. as a marine a thing like that democratic socialism as the d.s.a. is presenting it basically just gives more rights to the workers it still allows enterprises stuff like that however workers have more rights and they have more of a say and they see more of their product and what that d.s.h. mission is in particular is to try to get away from the economy that instead

exploited workers and is focused on destroying the environment and war they're trying to get away from all that to occur in an economy that is more sustainable that workers have a better seat at the table and where everybody has health care ok ok steve i mean you know socialism tends to become authoritarian if you don't keep an eye on it i'd like to point out in a move in the country that had a pretty disastrous experience with it but steve you know when i listen to a lot of people talking about democratic socialism ron pointed out on workers' rights i don't hear that so often when they talk i hear about abolishing ice having open borders. you know cultural relativism that's what i hear i hear identity politics and that makes what they hair on the back of my head stand up go ahead. absolutely all you have to do is go to the democratic socialists of america website and find out what the democratic socialists of america are really all about everything you just alluded to plus guaranteed income whether or not you're working

when when you talk about the workers having more rights they want the end of capitalism and workers to run the show workers would own and run everything there wouldn't be private ownership by corporations stockholders would go to you know where and let me let me just if i may hate reading thing but this is very important the disgraceful use of prisons to regulate behavior would be replaced with a system that decriminalizes a wide range of offenses and provides victims victims of the ones in prison provides victims with mental health care and various forms of counseling to help people find productive ways to move forward after committing serious crimes so you commit a serious crime no more prison you know get counseling these people are looney bins ok let the democrats run on this employees ok see what you just described is good mo in one form or another let me get i've been ill and in washington here. i hate

reading things too but i will a harvard university. publish a study in april that found fifty one percent of those between the ages of eighteen and twenty nine dislike capitalism with a majority prefer socialism as a political system is socialism a political system that's what i'm worried about when ron talks about workers i'm all yours i'll listen to workers' rights i don't have a problem with that ok we need a healthy left in the united states here but people talk about a political system that is socialism go ahead i've been well of course the technical definition of socialism is nationalizing industry nationalizing the means of production and i'm not sure i hear anybody really talking about that i see streit. king similarities between the right in the left that we have now i wouldn't consider trump a conservative i would consider him a nationalist he has been for quite a big a big government that we want to talk over measure in all its forms i think you

know he was he passed in the republicans went right along with them three hundred billion dollars budget meanwhile cutting taxes and yawning the deficit and the debt we also have him putting on tariffs protectionist tariffs which isn't conservative and then they eling out the farmers with twelve billion dollars worth of aid which doesn't really cover the problem it's not going to cover the losses that he's cut off a terrorist he's also said he's not going to do away with security in medicare now my purpose here isn't to attack trump i'm just saying that he's a more nationalist republican and i think bernie sanders followers have a lot in common with him to some extent now of course that's left populism and he's sort of a right populist in the case of the president so you're seeing encroachments of big government and you know we have all these terms for democratic socialism right wing

populism but we may end up sort of all at the same place with more government encroachment on our freedoms you know ronnie it's seems to me the in looking at some of the races that it's still been a more of a rejection of the status quo and some people move to the to the right and some people move to the left but everybody seems to have a problem except for people in the center and they want to keep everything the way it is and i did mention just off the cuff donors don't want to big change here too and i'm not sure i'm not just at tacking the democrats here you can easily as i've been did do it to the right but republicans as well go ahead ron. absolutely so first of all we have border security we had border security before i suggested it's not like anybody who calls for the abolishment of ice is calling for open borders i'm in favor of abolishing ice i think this country is a lot like espresso in that regard better without ice however that doesn't mean open borders that just means a rejection of this organization that is being authoritarian and brutal so that's

the first point and also yeah the democratic establishment is not a big fan of the d.s.a. or anything there about that this is their first priority. yeah i mean their first priority is stopping progressive policies from happening and policing the donors their priority further down the list is maybe beating a republican but that's not that big of a deal because whether that happens or not the gravy train keeps a roll and. we are seeing a rise in populism now i would make the argument i know some you guys on this panel see things differently that's fine but i would say right wing populism isn't really a thing that's kind of an oxymoron so i think trump ran on this kind of idea of that and a lot of people latched on to it i would say largely he hasn't delivered on that and i don't think he's going to but i think that the time for true populism is

at are at the forefront right now and if history in the united states is any indication we're kind of due for a sharp turn to the left or right now we're mirroring the great depression in the anyway ok but what happened after that was f.d.r. ok ok let me go to stay here because i mean again it could be you know i mean ron you've been on this program before and we've discussed this you know left in progressive in this stablish mean and all that that's fine but steve you know every since two thousand and ten the democrats you know have lost over and over and over again because i keep running on the same message over and over again and. one can make the argument that trump appealed to the people that filled the disaffected i mean a lot of white men a lot of white people in general voted in two thousand and sixteen because they finally found a candidate that they could see that would consider their concerns ok so i mean you know a lot has been said here but i mean i do i do think that this is a lot about insurgency and it's all about bernie sanders i think that's going to be

the most important event remember not the trouble is elected but what was done to bernie go ahead steve well first of all let's also point out that donald trump got the higher percentage of hispanics of voting for him only and did mitt romney or john mccain which i think is something that goes overlooked and really should look the reason why the donors don't want the you know the socialist democrats influence and and policies and platforms is because they can't win i mean that's why someone like me is begging you and begging the democrats to run how do you explain to. our know where you stand keep. a lid on so cool and a little first of all this a very very very small percentage of people voted and she happens to live in a district where where the message appeals but even she isn't honest when she is pressed on what she she believes as a democratic soche.
