to our three international live from moscow and walk ins wherever you are today thanks for joining us for this hour's news up the. syrian army troops have been seen moving towards the front line of the last stronghold of rebel and terror groups in the country the northern province of idlib these are pictures from the ground obtained by ruptly of video news agency soldiers can be seen riding on top of lorries carrying tanks artillery and other equipment as well officers say their troops are ready for the final battle against militants so far though they're waiting for final orders. are syria has become the focus of the latest u.n. security council meeting this comes after the backers of warring parties there have been recently accusing each other of planning escalating the situation but i guess the it has more on how the involvement of the international community in the war

has made the potential escalation a risky scenario. it is shaping up to be the end a lost showdown between jihad ists and the syrian army it is the last remaining stronghold of islamist and rebels tens of thousands of them the most powerful faction and it being h.t.s. or al-qaeda in syria and they're defiant cranking out and the spotlight ganda. bear in mind many of them not even syrians islamists on jihad from china from central asia from the caucasus from morocco to baghdad with nowhere left to retreat

what's worse is the foreign power buildup in the region out of the blue u.s. cruise missile delivery systems guided missile destroyers strategic bombers a re basing and dropping anchor near syria days after the u.s. and its allies warned that take action if chemical weapons are used by as'ad and russia which is beefing up its own presence warns that it's the easily mists that are plotting just that the u.s. continues to expand its presence of cruise missile carriers in the middle east which is connected to the preparations for another false flag incident allegedly involving chemical weapons russian reports of u.s. military buildup in the eastern med and nothing more than propaganda it's not true that does not mean however that we are prepared to respond should the president direct such an action the united states denies building up its forces but says it's ready to attack syria if need be the good news is that russia and the united states

are also apparently in talks to prevent any potential use. of chemical weapons but the danger remains the worst case scenario an international escalation militarily the rebels stand little chance against the syrian army what could save them is a foreign intervention caused by for example a staged chemical attack. syrian armed forces have no chemical weapons and no plans to use them and there is no military necessity for word you've said this many times before sensible people will not use militarily useless means to draw the fire of three powerful countries upon themselves on the other hand after announcing it and waiting for a false flag attack from militants these very same countries can start on bartman that is what happened last time say the russians staged the incident in ghouta that

led to a u.s. french and british cruise missile barash against syria this time what with the military buildup the stakes and risks of an escalation will be much higher but it hasn't begun yet there will be a big conference on friday but chances of a peaceful resolution look slim the russian reconciliation center has been trying to broker a deal but the g. hardest remain defiant our weapons are the source of our strength and on are thinking about surrendering to the enemy and handing over weapons will be considered treason the worst of all is that there is many as two million civilians in need lib trapped between the hardest and the syrian army if talks fall through with chemical weapons a use that this battle drags on civilian casualties will saw not to mention the danger of an international escalation and escalation is imminent how that

develops we don't know whether it. goes. very fierce in the form of a very fierce confrontation between. on one side and its allies and syrian army and its allies on the other side we don't know we hope that it goes as it went in other areas like most recently in di's southern syria we are faction leaders understand that this is a force that they cannot. compete with or fight effectively and they see if they are people and their cities a lot of destruction and death so in that case you know people could go back to under government control as soon as possible to normality basically as soon as possible and we understand that many of them are hoping to achieve such a feat. some three thousand anti and pro moderate activists have clashed in the

past few days in the german city of kemet leaving twenty people injured the unrest was prompted by the arrest of an iraqi and syrian not follow the stabbing of a local man on sunday peter all of the reports on the latest from germany. well the state of saxony in the city of ken that to firmly focus across germany across widely europe and even across the wider world this follows. a night of violence that we saw on monday evening thousands more that were expected. right wing demonstrators took to the streets of candidates and they were confronted by counter-demonstrators now that resulted in some violent scenes there was. and what we have seen afterwards is something that has no place in the constitutional state we've seen the videos the show has become a witch hunt a mobbing that there is hate on our streets. was.

a bicyclist and i was at the demonstration in chemist's on monday and the scene there was alarming what happened yesterday is that over a thousand demonstrators registered but it turned out that there were about eight thousand protesters in kemet was . was decent. it was assumed from the beginning that there would be twice as many demonstrators as were registered but it turned out that there were about four times as many right wing demonstrators as initially planned all those scenes were all sparked following the killing the stabbing to death of a thirty five year old man encampments in the early hours of sunday morning two men in their early twenty's one from iraq and one from syria were taken into custody

we've heard from prosecutors that they've ruled out self defense in stopping in fact they're looking to pursue a charge of culpable homicide in. case now the scenes that we saw they really left people in the city of came that shocked. before their eyes between the people for immigration. and that's a problem for our country or our city i've never seen anyone once again refugees or have experienced anything like that. until the recent t.v. here. situation my parents saved don't go into city stay at home came not from pantries say i was it came from i came from tunisia and that is a problem and that makes the crimes of twenty people including two police officers

were injured in violence we also hear from the police that they're investigating ten people for having given the straight a nazi salute during clashes that is illegal here in germany. monday really monday night's violence really bringing the whole situation in the splits in german society firmly in focus as the right wing and the left wing of german society clashed in saxony. and pandit told us the unrest is a logical outcome of the current modern policy. we have no protest against of wave of him either and while in and of course deuce politicians who have orchestrated that immigration you know blame all who are critical what's their politics right wing and we're not seeing it to them that is for the for the federal state of sex and me the place they are all incoming migrants recollected in the first place

and you have a long record of especially sexual while uncertain against women but it was nice while there and what we see incumbents is that wouldn't marry such as a protest against rape or a robbery murder and whalen behavior and i think that's what you get if you open the ball us. inmates in the us are staging what could become the largest prison strike in american history the peaceful protest which is now into its second week as planned the last nineteen days it encompasses seventeen states prisoners are demanding an end to what they call modern slavery and the introduction of a number of reforms. that night and today i don't believe i'm going to. come back you.

several american departments of corrections claimed to have been no sign of any strikes and their institutions will ask them for written confirmation of these events despite reports we have not had any organized stoppages protests or lockdowns related to the strike at our institutions there are no strikes occurring in georgia the g.t.c. is prepared should that change we have been and will continue to monitor the situation only hide correctional institution in swan quarter salt protests inmates were allowed to hang banners from the inside fencing. human rights activists in the ghetto claim some facilities have used the violent measures to stop the strikes. all of prison and all i been i was organizing rare were taken to administrative segregation and when cave one of the organizers was shuttled might have engel and drug across the prison as

a message to the rest of the institution states like new mexico and many others what they did is they began all these men kept all inmates in isolation and there in their individual cell as a mechanism for stopping activity. our scottish universities to hand out badges to its new students to spell out the pronoun they want to be known by the he she or they were part of an effort to avoid so-called mis gendering initiatives when proposed by edinburgh university student union however it did warn students should avoid using the term preferred pronouns arguing sort of preference but i know it's a city now the issue of youngsters wanted to change gender has been increasingly stirring controversy the u.k.'s women's minister victoria has expressed concern over the rising numbers of minors not wishing to go through reassignment i read in the paper recently that there has been

a large increase in the number of teenagers who are identifying asked transgender and i think there we need to get down to the reasons why this is happening it may simply be a case of greater warning us in maybe that for some they see it as an answer to questions they are perhaps not asking themselves and we debated the issue with bt activist peter tatchell and radio talk show host john galt. what if the purpose of these badges is just to raise awareness and in particular to make transfusions and their friends and allies feel comfortable safe and accepted i don't think that's a terrible thing i think it's just a common human decency to become into i know that perfectly reasonable have made this decision what's not reasonable add on a minute where universities are trying to tell lecturers it happened at university of toronto of course famously with jordan peterson where they totally had she had no use things like hello ladies and gentlemen hello boys and girls they had to fit into these new pronouns if they want to say today i'm a man tamara

a boy the next fridge freezer so but i don't have to fainter i don't want to get into a situation where i have to change pronouns i have to change the english language for a minority of very small minority they are tracking my freedom of speech my freedom of expression let's be reasonable if somebody feels they are you know being assigned the wrong gender they're in the wrong body i have enormous sympathy for them but we shouldn't be kind of i don't really want to use this word encouraging it which is why edinburgh university is doing well no one is encouraging them and nor should anyone encourage them this is a call that's coming from the young people themselves what edinburgh university is doing. if they have said people can change one thousand days the next that is quite clearly absurd but you know trans people do not choose to be trans they don't make this decision about gender reassignment really are very very serious long

protracted thought and indeed is often agonizing they face often rejection by their parents being thrown out of home and very high rates of suicide and attempted suicide so this is not a decision that a young person takes lightly and if they make the decision but they feel. or that they're one gender or another i think we should respect that i don't think it's a big deal to it's about common decency just about being kind and compassionate to other people so i don't i agree with that but part of same token they should respect our rights to have a different view and when you talk about this this is always brought there than about trans and serious sides it isn't because they're struggling with the fact they think they're in the wrong body that leads generally to the suicide it's astir when they realize they've made a dreadful mistake which is why the woman deserve minister of the education minister is right to say we need to look at why more and more young people are

trying to go through this we need to look at why puberty blocking drugs are being handed out like smarties they don't know their own mind i agree with you peter it must be agonizing even needs time ministry thought about and they need to be of an age where they know that they are in the wrong body not giving them out to six year old eight year olds and ten year olds and you know that's happening peter truong trans people are reality they have existed since time immemorial who are throughout history i think the fact that there are more people coming forward is because there is greater social understanding and acceptance the stigma and guilt is fading away that issue has been discussed more openly and that is why more people are coming forward into violence trounce but it's still a tiny tiny minority a minority that is no threat to anyone and i think we should live and let live and except that people who are different for whatever reason including because the

generosity that they have a place in the human family. thousands have rallied in italy against the meeting of deputy prime minister my salvini are hung garion prime minister viktor orban the politicians are known for their anti immigrant politics and plan to discuss a new strategy for europe in dealing with migration security as well as other issues. so the current situation is like that there are two sides one is led by man alone who is supporting migration we are on the other side trying to stop illegal immigration this issue is strongly debated inside the european people's party and we want our line to be accepted. that we're asking for collaboration first of all from the large countries the countries that share a border with us like france the first person who should show his sensitivity and solidarity is the french president by reopening the border at ventimiglia and he

can do so even tomorrow morning. so we need is also if there is interior minister has already taken a hard line against continued migration most recently the migrant rescue boat did shotty was blocked from disembarking in italy for ten days so the whole took those on board from leaving until e.u. nations pledged to help by taking in more migrants children and sick people they were allowed off the boat which docked in sicily those remaining on board decided to begin a hunger strike ultimately they were allowed to disembark and a sicilian prosecutor launched an investigation against me for abuse of office kidnapping and illegal arrest he denied the accusations though saying he was protecting his country but we're joined live by independent journalist luke reaver now thanks for joining us so good to have you on the program how would you estimate the chances that these two politicians what actually make the historical changes as they describe them to e.u. policies. well i think they have good chances of doing that remember mr orban

in the last few years was presented as the lead duckling in europe you know the crazy guy or the fascist even by some of us well he's a family man he's a christian he's very popular in his country and it seems it works east stopped the flow of immigration to hungary coming from the east and the center salvini something is very emotional so the meeting of one very well between the two men and i think they have good chances of feather aging of bringing together all the populists in western europe across australia will follow a group of visit poland and other countries will follow as well but in all other countries from sweden where the screen democrats in in week's time of the elections can probably get twenty twenty five percent of the vote or to france or even spain now you have many populist swap fed up with the policies of migration or the

absence of policy of migration of europe since two thousand and fifteen they have not been able to do anything you know and one mr dean mighell of the of the vice prime minister in the government of chief was telling one a study miles said if it continues we will not pay out june to the european union you had the little guy a spokesman not not even a commissioner mr winter stand i happened to know of a little guy who said. to mr country and to mr de mayo in europe threats don't work i mean it's incredible if this is europe if you krantz you know in the corridors of brussels can't dictate ball says of countries like italy sixty million people to mr condit a prime minister then i don't understand and i think europe is on the bad sure let's talk about. the course of it's always retain the level of popularity at home salvina though he's new as the in that role he's under investigation already for

actions against that moderate rescue boat what do you think his level of popularity and support in italy is can he deliver on the promises he's made to the italian people. yeah i mean it's shooting up if you have a leftist judd's maggoty gently i think in sicily that takes him to court over it that's been for mark runs because he wants to keep them on the boat until some european countries accepts them. get elected you know like that no problem the people who vote for him you know you remember that the the populists when they came to power left and right the movement five stars and and when they can't gather to power everybody seven. they want to have a tiny majority not much its intrinsic to the population except said italy as they can in seven hundred thousand migrants from africa mostly over the

last few years people are fed up with it fed up so much your money all of those them want to take in the anymore and so i think the emotional salvini we make want to senior enormous the european parliament who was a an m.e.p. for years and he knows how it works in the lobbies in the corridor also so even want to be influenced by them to the contrary i think it could be a killer for the present european commission it's an issue that has existed way has the moderate issue in europe the refugee issue. sharing burden sharing responsibilities for the modern flows i mean what should countries like italy do when the e.u. nations such as hungary must all been refused to take any moderate saying i mean should they have to bear the burden alone or should they push europe for some sort of consensus here. they should not but of course these migrants should not land in europe they should remain in africa and be brought back to their countries where

they could should receive help that's the opinion of most popular sparges in europe that's what they want and that's what they will prepare the fate that they will not doesn't bark in europe anymore in italy or spain or other places so we have seen actually now that you mention it we have seen a little. difficulty between the movement five star and beacon now. one mr de miles said that hungary should take should accept migrants and take is share because italy has done a lot so this is different of course from what are the allies of something out saying so that is a little discrepancy there but i don't think it will be a real problem within the talent government i think they are on the same wavelength basically and others they don't want hungary to get more migrants it's not the idea it's that together they want to move to to stop the inflight and i think it could

be stopped very rapidly and fall countries show clearly that europe doesn't want any more of that language. though they are united by the fact they say they have to protect their countries and their populations i mean do you agree with their premise that moderates pose a real threat to those nations to their security to the unity. well security but mostly social security that's the key to the problem is the fact that most of these guys who come it's not racist at all the attitude of europeans they know that these people coming cannot even write their own language they can just push a wheelbarrow this is not the type of jobs that we can give them there is no more of these jobs in europe we don't need people to push clean by arabs we need engineers whatever their color and so this is the main problem because they will

bring in their families and these people and their families women of course stay home because muslims etc and kids and parents and grandparents when they can because they're allowed to come it's very sorry to jump in luke we are running out of time source so to interrupt but thanks for your take today on that story we have run out of time and falsely journalist thanks for take that on r.t. good to have you. and that's it for ninety one ourself for the sour join us again at one am moscow time for the latest global news updates. it was. the of. the

earlier. to a. month. for . all of the things to do something to. put themselves on one big village several reject. so when you want to read for us an injury. some have wanted to grips with. it's a white person slightly before three in the morning and people that. i'm interested in the lawyers in one. sitting.

max keiser this is the kaiser report the show that goes further just say see we go really far in fact in this episode not only are we in new york but in the second half you're going to be in washington d.c. with none other than tone they own vase wow i'm looking forward to it because we interviewed him when we were on our way up here stopped in washington d.c. to talk to him and then we came here to report the news to you and i want to talk about a story that happened last week and it is about venezuela because they are the first to introduce a crypto currency as a unit of account so this is something actually when we were in washington d.c. and we saw safe dean talk about his book the bitcoin standard he foresees big cooling as a unit of trade account around the world and this is i think obviously madeira in

venezuela have are not going to be able to have a genuine crypto currency and we centralized this could be command and control nevertheless they've broken. the barrier to entry so they've got this concept of a unit of account that is a crypto currency yes but i think it's an important milestone i don't think it's going to be all that successful but it is breaking the crypto ceiling if i may coined that phrase with a sovereign and we have other sovereigns in the wings the marshall islands minor stan are going to go into purely cryptocurrency to govern their territory and once we get the game theory played out on the geo political level that's inherent in the bitcoin protocol the magic of the incentives as iterated in suppose she's white paper are going to put the code on the currency nightmare that has plagued humanity for many many centuries part of the global imbalances that we see.
