international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us now russia says terrorist forces are planning a chemical attack to frame the assad regime the warning has come up from the defense ministry which says it has evidence that members of terror organizations including all nusra met with the controversial rescue group the white helmets on friday at the meeting various possible scenarios first stage in a chemical attack against civilians and as if carried out by government forces were discussed and approved all those involved in this stage you know the roots of the evening of september the eighth on friday the fifteenth excuse me on friday the fifteen members of the u.n. security council met to discuss the crisis in italy province the same day the russian turkish and iranian president held talks in tehran on the situation and his ego has more. it's not the first time we're hearing warnings from the russian
7:02 pm
defense ministry about the chemical false flag attack prepared by militants in some further details apparently the militants are planning to use chlorine eight barrels of chlorine chemical of chlorine gas of the chlorine talks in have been brought to the province and the white helmets why they were present allegedly at that meeting they are supposed to cover to film the whole thing the russian defense ministry is not the only institution making warnings about a potential chemical attack washington d.c. for example the white house is saying that it will be the assad government the assad forces that will use chemical weapons trying to capture it but it definitely what is what is happening right now the situation the chemical concern for it while it is sending ripples from all across the geopolitical scale just on friday the u.n. security council members set down together and you can have
7:03 pm
a listen to how the situation in libya has been discussed ever more babies in italy and there are terrorists and i think we should keep those engaging in military action pause for thought when russia and the assad regime say they want to counterterrorism they actually mean they want to bomb schools hospitals and homes. we are firmly under the impression that our western partners a stoking hysteria around it lip and in any case are attempting to prevent the fall of the last major terrorist stronghold in syria and this is far more political than the stated humanitarian concerns for the protection of civilians now it has to be mentioned that according to the u.n. special envoy to syria to find a mistura of the assad government does have access to chemical weapons just like does the predominant in syria but when it comes to this northern. well the
7:04 pm
leaders of russia iran and turkey set down here in tehran on friday right before the u.n. security council meeting and they discussed the focus on the situation there what they mostly talked about is how to get rid of terrorists there while this area is so densely populated by the civilians because they agree that the syrian land should be cleared of terrorists but they just they can't just bomb. just blindly bomb them in the area because they would use civilians as a human shield. everyone knows that there are a lot of civilians in there and we must take into account the russian military and the syrian army who always try to guarantee the evacuation of civilians right now the focus seems to have shifted completely to the chemical concern when it comes to according to the russian defense ministry by the end of the militants will have completed their preparations so we can expect something to come out as soon as
7:05 pm
sunday. the pentagon has dismissed the efforts by russia and its allies to settle the conflict in syria and insisted the tehran talks have failed u.s. military chiefs also claimed there are better ways to go after terrorists in. security analysts believe there is no evidence that assad is planning a chemical attack in italy. the major threat against civilians is a terrorist threat and the major threat against civilians comes from the. groups that are terrorist groups and that is recognized by the security council itself and i think it's absolutely ridiculous why would the syrian regime and the russians use any chemical weapons or allow the use of any chemical weapons for the last stronghold of these terrorist organizations i mean they all that is the route that the syrian army and the russian army were able to control most of the syrian
7:06 pm
territories and they did this small province why would they use chemical weapons and kill civilians that's absolutely senseless i mean that's that's that's that's not that strategically wrong that is not the necessity military necessity that is not a political there are no political gains out of this. the iraqi government has declared a curfew in the city of basra after days of rioting and arson on saturday morning rockets were fired at the city's airport and of the day before an angry mob torched the iranian consulate the building was almost completely destroyed by the iranian officials say no diplomatic staff were inside and according to the health ministry though the least at least two demonstrators were killed protesters accusing iran of meddling in their country's politics iran has condemned the attack and shut down part of the border with iran. on this follows days of rallies across iraq against
7:07 pm
government corruption and a lack of basic services several government offices have been set on fire in the passer by. you have it all somebody is trying to add fuel to the fire to damage the relationship between the security forces and the people. the baster population is fed up they're suffering and facing this predicament absurdity of witnessing the billions of dollars of oil export that before their eyes they have absolutely nothing you know no infrastructure normally aged development high and
7:08 pm
high unemployment of some seventy percent for the us the government needs to address these issues as soon as possible international energy companies that are investing billions of dollars in that area also have a role to play the international institutions such as the world bank have failed to assist the rockies by for example failing or wife and one single water treatment facility in basra or you know sewage treatment and so on so is the international assistance or the u.s. assistance for its water ravaged economy. are north korean leader kim jong un has said he is ready to visit russia to meet vladimir putin as soon as possible a colleague enter farmer earlier discussed the story with a hawk. list came about from my visit by the russian delegation to the russian federation council speak of violence in a much the enco past the letter. from the russian president inviting him to attend
7:09 pm
these bilateral talks in moscow we understand of course this will be discussed through diplomatic channels in good time but from what we hear from the russian side mr kim jong il the north korean supremely leader is key not to delay and to visit moscow as soon as time allows the other two leaders have of course corresponded before if this visit does go ahead that will be the first time at least in recent history that a north korean leader will visit moscow for bilateral talks now on top of this we know north korea has been in touch with the u.s. south korea to see what what is the state of play between those countries at the moment while very much changeable obviously went from the brink of conflict just about easter time to that summit in singapore with donald trump which she was very keen to advertise as something highly successful something very productive and now things have taken another step back toward some pretty hostile rhetoric the u.s. has accused north korea of cyber warfare of hacking and trying to stifle free speech in the west take
7:10 pm
a listen the north korean backed conspiracy attempted to crush freedom of speech in the u.s. and the u k. it robbed banks around the world you know we took the step to spare for the largest extra charges as a good faith measure coming out of the singapore show. we have no plans at this time to spend any more characters. there is war games that mr matters with was referring to that did very little to reassure north korea it seems they've accused america of quote hatching a criminal plot against pyongyang and gazing into talks while planning some sort of hostile action through those military games there. nevertheless though there is some positivity out of all of this according to what's being co. is committed to denuclearize a chemise also set a concrete timetable to doing this he said he wants to do this before the end of the trumpets first time in office that's the first time
7:11 pm
a north korean leader has specifically set a deadline to do with nuclear reservation use also committed to the reuniting of the two north korea is now what we all saw from the russian delegation from a to b. and co is a quote that these sanctions the western sanctions on north korea are draconian that they lead to nowhere a negotiation diplomacy and communication is the way to go to resolve this ongoing crisis so we're very much looking forward to hear if and when that pretty historic visit will take place the head of germany's security service has played down reports of anti migrant mobs in the city of camden it despite chancellor merkel condemning the unrest and he's been all over has more. right wing demonstrators were back out on the streets of ten minutes on friday evening around a thousand people gathered in the city they were holding up banners saying that we are the people also that they were not nazis that wasn't
7:12 pm
a repeat of the type of violence that we saw last week or even two weeks ago they seem to have gone off relatively peacefully but on friday there was another big development this is after the head of germany's internal intelligence service the beer file pointed to videos that have emerged around two weeks ago of the demonstrations that were said to show far right demonstrators hunting down chasing people that looked like foreigners and trying to attack them now he gave an interview to a major newspaper here in germany saying he doesn't think they're legitimate there was no reliable information that such hunts took place based on my cautious assessment there are good reasons to believe that this was intentional false information possibly to detract attention from the murder in candidates and i share the skepticism towards the media reports on the right wing extremist hunts in cannes it's always been a lot of calls for mr marson to clarify what he said or produce evidence for the reasons why he said it one of the the main reasons for this skepticism is the fact
7:13 pm
the chancellor i'm going to merkel cited these videos herself in her condemnation of right wing violence in cabinets although there certainly are extremist right wing people among those crowds we've seen straight arm salutes the nazi salute of course in the in the past there but there are also those who are coming out to these demonstrations who are just saying they're not right wing extremists they're just concerned citizens that is going. to let them know that i mean it's because a lot of money. is not because that's all just going to go beyond what. he's going to have make a. decision he says martin but he's not. if you don't like that so you take it on i think a large part did all this but i did do to do something. well amongst the use talking about the demonstrations and in fact saying that he would take part in water under different circumstances was the always outspoken german interior minister. if i
7:14 pm
wasn't a minister i would have taken to the streets as a citizen but of course not with the radicals under merkel has accused the far right of exploiting the killing of about thirty five year old man for their own aims however whether that's true or not alternative for germany the right wing party that has well being claimed to be anti islam and the immigrants in the past they have shot up to second place in polling here in germany seventeen percent of those polled said that they would vote for them in the general election if there was a general election tomorrow would make them the second largest political body taking a seat in the pond a stark. and member of germany's left party believes all sides are to blame for the recent a surge of nationalism in the country it seems to me very difficult to leftist myself and the son of an immigrant i have to say that it's also the fault of my party that we should have been guiding those people but instead it's the radical
7:15 pm
right that are doing and radical things and they are guiding most people in the wrong direction and i think what we've seen after this is complete and chaos if one interior intelligence chiefs asked know all of this is just fake news you know i don't know the circumstances he should have been fired already and i don't know what to tell us about the state of the german government that angela merkel is apparently not capable of firing him right now a view a new political movement in ireland is pledging to take the country out of the e.u. that story much more when we come back you are watching our to international. what holds us in studio. to put themselves on the lot to get accepted or rejected.
7:16 pm
so when you want to be president. or something i want to be preached. that you'd like to be closer to see what the flag tree a boy can be good get. interested in the waters of the gulf. coast so small seemed wrong what old roll just don't all. get to say proud just because the took a long and in detroit it was betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground the.
7:17 pm
all right welcome back you are watching art international live from moscow now rioters in the greek city of saloniki have been voicing their fury over a recent a deal struck by the government to end a naming dispute with macedonia. back in june athens agreed to recognize the name republic of northern macedonia to end a decades long dispute but opponents say the name sounds too similar to the greek province of macedonia the greek parliament is due to vote on the agreement next year. a new irish political party has held its first conference in
7:18 pm
dublin its mission is to quit the e.u. . we are here today to launch a new party with new ideas for ireland that we can open you free of foreign domination no longer be beholden to the european union stop paying them a bucket load of money to make our laws to sit still our fish out of our waters and impose in two thousand and twelve sixty four bit. i regs it before freedom party wants a clean break from brussels the party plans to put forward candidates for the upcoming national and european elections bassett a former irish ambassador and one of the movement's backers says they still want good economic relations with europe. and left the european union i would like us to
7:19 pm
stay in the european economic area and i think the whole idea of moving around erasmus problems they're all very good but they shouldn't come with a political price that you have to sort of beef up your military budget to change a tax system that you know you have difficulty holding not the public utilities it's the political part of the european union which is scaring people off the irish governments as it should to do the bracks negotiation at the moment that's completely baffling it's quite clear that our interest is in getting the united kingdom a good deal because we are so dependent on some people in ireland who are i've still got a lingering anger phobia and they will be pipe prepared to be much more hardline even if it damaged our interests as long as the damage united kingdom i find that argument perverse. well the party might struggle to win over the irish public the latest poll found that just eleven percent of voters want to leave the european union some people told us why quitting would be
7:20 pm
a bad idea the benefits that i retired from being a member of the century is absolutely incredible i think it would be absolutely devastating for a country if we were to do so i would definitely not be voting for that's what we benefit from even though much of it was really should have to sit down have a good look at the before you do anything else joining. would be. disaster. i don't think it's a good idea for injury the because we're kind of and i'm a nation on the western pits of europe so. i feel arlene's beneficial lawfully you support for iraq's it is low but going forward because we will be the first party making an argument for ireland to leave the e.u. and take by its democratic party as we make the case the popularity of the cause will increase for sure the political media class on our land are almost to a modern woman completely. we. have freedom party will be like
7:21 pm
almost like rebels with a cause those fighting for freedom those going we will be the contrarian's. intellectual terms that is a good position to be and. former u.s. president barack obama has made an appearance at the university of illinois urging students to vote in the upcoming midterm elections in his speech he gave a stinging critique of donald trump's policies. as more president obama has returned to the spotlight with a rousing speech almost universally applauded by mainstream media while attacking both republicans and democrats but mostly republicans he bragged a lot about himself and his in keeping with an office when you hear how great the economy is doing right now. let's just remember when this recovery started in fact a quick glance at an economic growth chart would suggest that these numbers were generally weaker under obama although admittedly a number like g.d.p. and never tells the whole story but what about foreign policy we help spread
7:22 pm
a commitment to certain values in france like the read of all in human rights and democracy obama supposed that commitment to human rights involved turning two wars into seven expanding u.s. military operations from just afghanistan and iraq to syria libya yemen somalia and pakistan and that policy has only continued under trump but surely obama handled things differently when it came to russia they're undermining our alliances cozying up to russia what happened to the republican party. its central organizing principle in foreign policy was the fight against communism and now they're closing up to the former head of the k.g.b. we should point out that putin was never head of the k.g.b. and there was a time when obama mocked his opponent mitt romney for using outdated cold war language when you were asked what's the biggest geopolitical threat facing america
7:23 pm
you said russia that al-qaeda you said russia and the nineteen eighties are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back because you know the cold war's been over for twenty years but let's go back to trump cozying up to russia how does that actually look at the current president has imposed sanctions on moscow and has even armed ukraine something even his predecessor didn't want to do during his speech obama did spare a few moments to attack the democrats but bashing the republicans seemed to be his main goal but over the past few decades the politics of division and resentment and paranoia. has unfortunately found a home. in the republican party president trump couldn't care less. what you think of president obama's speech and i said i'm sorry i watched it but i fell asleep. i ses very good. very good for sleeping. since leaving office president obama has become one of the ten
7:24 pm
highest paid speakers in the world he's even giving speeches to wall street firms charging hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single speech but let's be fair every former president wants to defend his own legacy and why not make a quick buck while doing it and that does it from a bag of top the hour with more news you watch my trash. and there are the boys so much all of them mama. i don't mama little bit of the best someone you can. do a little for you. in the critical well what if they're going to be chilcote you know.
7:25 pm
what i mean and you come with the he's going to get so for us to do that not still the question is to us but all yes the chest but us now with the best of what i hear for everyone that is for cooks about biblical. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy glue foundation let it be an arms race is off and spearing dramatic development the only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.
7:26 pm
my body told me that i belong with the board but my thoughts my mind with that i'm along with the girls. under the surgery stubs to be of any particular. football person's doctor. i was born a male had a sex change when i was thirty years old. i've now been living as a woman for twenty eight years and i fully recall that this. problem should have gone away from by now but they hadn't so these surgeries are nothing more than plastic surgery i've had several female to male friends and you look at it and you just go oh god you paid for that it's horrible nobody can change genders it's impossible. is delusional it's a mental illness. this is now where one of my bones from flesh of my flesh she
7:27 pm
shall be called woman pushy was taken down from a. i've been saying the numbers mean something the matter of us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes have to teach this. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be rich point six percent market saw thirty percent minus minus two years some with four hundred to five hundred three per cent get first shot. 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 in one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust.
7:28 pm
max keiser this is the kaiser report the show that goes further says max you know on our show we have been saying for many years you can't taper a ponzi and of course united states federal reserve bank is trying to taper the ponzi by unwinding quantitative easing and raising interest rates and we have seen the unwinding in emerging market currencies and another thing we've always said is that while inflation is a monetary event that hyperinflation is a political thing is when people lose confidence in the political powers that be and you see that in venezuela but you're also starting to see that in argentina where you're having almost hyper inflationary like sort of movements in their
7:29 pm
currency so i'm going to look at something else that we haven't right about and that is fracking and this is also part of that whole federal reserve zero percent interest rate thing but the next financial crisis lurks underground its name fracking fueled by debt and years of easy credit america's energy boom is on shaky footing this is a headline actually from the new york times bethany mclean the one who outed enron a warrant before they collapse but this chart is quite interesting because here is when you and i began warning about fracking and this is u.s. oil production so this is about when fracking really started to take off at when interest rates were taken to zero so the green line is the u.s. oil production yellow line is russia oil production. masry of the phrase peak everything peak gas through fracking peak credit fear the
7:30 pm
central bank system peak everything now the remarkable thing that you and i have we have said this for years so. the first episode i could find was back in two thousand and nine or ten that we covered fracking and how that that it cost more than they extracted in value and we got reported by the d.n.i. reports in front of congress as this is somehow anti-american that this the fact that we've pointed this out but now this is the new york times is and read tweeted and pushed also by paul krugman so we're going to go into some of the details that they're now coming around to in twenty eighteen that you and i were saying you know seven years ago eight years ago as well warning people about this but some of fracking is biggest skeptics are actually on wall street bethany mclean points out the sixty biggest exploration and pretty.
