7:00 am
i know two can he saw some dogs it is just some really really came to an investigative documentary. ghost war on oxy. actually choose the afternoon the big news today turkey's president says dissident saudi journalist. was the victim of a vicious murder and that his killing in the saudi consulate in istanbul was planned well in advance. i had to write about it here in the agreement should have been done years ago but still people come here and we have more money than anybody else by far we'll build it up donald trump threatens to ramp up america's nuclear capabilities are providing to scrap the decades old disarmament treaty with russia . and get the story to a british man suing the us army after being exposed to toxic chemicals while
7:01 am
working as a contractor at a military base we speak to the whistleblower. was just a bunch to school just on medical checks in a sick be just as he always is. just look at. or see someone else. pay the good afternoon live without international just turn two pm this tuesday now my name's kevin irwin so the big story making the headlines in the last hour or so the turkish president saying distant journalist. was murdered in a vicious manner in a pre planned operation it showed she was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul beginning of october riyadh denied any knowledge of the institute for over two weeks of course for tracking this story today. a lot was pinned on what president there they wanted to say today he promised to reveal all wasn't quite
7:02 am
a reveal it was not actually quite the naked truth either was it what did come out . well you're absolutely right kevin most people thought that president aired two on will shed light on the details probably even groundbreaking details that could have been revealed by his investigators it is stamboul well he didn't his speech was more like a political statement in which he made it clear that turkey's coveted jamal khashoggi death was a pre-planned murder. jim and. the evidence that we have so far indicates that you molecules shot jews was slain in a vicious violent murder did all those responsible from the highest level to the lowest level who brought to justice and will get the punishment they deserve incident was not a momentary result but rather of the result of a planned operation right to recover people who didn't see the whole thing you say
7:03 am
in the punishment the people who carried out this deserved are we any closer to knowing who he thinks who thinks the should go to you is behind it he mentioned the people saying they are responsible for this three people and they cause that. group of fifteen people were set from saudi arabia although mr aired on fell short of directly blaming the saudi royal family for this. still though he was clearly eager to put pressure on saudi arabia he made an outright bad to hold the perpetrators responsible for this and also came up with a list of direct questions for the saudi government let's take a listen to. who gave instructions to those people to come to istanbul why were the consulate premises not open to examination on that day or the following day we need an answer to this it's clear now it was
7:04 am
a murder where is the body why do we still not have bit of information that the body was given to a local operative who is he it's not an ordinary person saudi arabia needs to reveal his identity. so right now saudi arabia's earlier version that jamal khashoggi was killed as a result of some sort of brawl or a fistfight wouldn't really do after such comments made by mr aired on of picking up on this story before it all kicked off to a lot of people around the world the name jamal khashoggi was not particularly. well remind us who is watching all this trouble around him he is a journalist that had to flee to the u.s. because of some of his critical reporting on the saudi royal family he was a columnist sorry for the washington post but he wanted to get married and in order to do that while he was still a saudi citizen he needed to get a license from the saudi officials although he decided not to go to saudi arabia
7:05 am
but to get it at a saudi called stamboul his second visit to the consulate happened tobar second and that's where the tragedy happened apparently let's have a look at the tablet of events. so i just want to point out once again that seven days passed since the actual
7:06 am
birth or happened tobar second before the saudi officials made it happened within the walls of their called sword yes most peculiar isn't love bring the various reactions from president trump along the way too but was and forward well i just want to talk about the international reaction in general because what then these seventy days didn't really feel like international leaders were ready to really come out and say the saudis are responsible for that really probably some sort of measures against some sort of punishment and one of the most outstanding reactions or rather the evolution of his assessment to this was as you were saying the one of donald trump so let's have a look. sounds to me like. terrible and disgusting about that if that were the case so we're going to have to see we're going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment but he'll be
7:07 am
able to get to the bottom fairly soon it'll have to be very severe i mean it's bad . but we'll see what out into the river. do i do i mean it's again it's early we haven't traditionally view or investigation but it's. i think it's a very important first step and it happened sooner than people thought it would happen. to the crown prince i am not satisfied with what a. wall going back to president aired towards choose day speech apparently this was not only a direct message to the saudi government but also to the international community to keep putting more pressure on saudi arabia so well we'll be watching what the international leaders are going to do now and also the saudi officials as well you know right earlier we'll let you get back cross again as kind of you know from a former member of the turkish parliament edgemont gas joining us live on the line . scuse me so president who once you are president everyone says that this
7:08 am
was a political killing it's pretty embarrassing for the saudis even if it's not been particularly straight to the top isn't it. well present one was very clear i think he became voice of millions or billions of kind chances people he royce what his conscience told them turkey needs to find out what really happened all we wanted justice and that's what the whole world wants and needs because an innocent man was killed and there are reports that he might even be mylan click killed and cut into pieces and we don't even know where is remains are so there are many questions that need to be answered and pres no one has asked the saudi kingdom for full cooperation in finding out who is responsible behind this vicious murder and we are willing to prosecute them along on all the way along the way saudi
7:09 am
arabia for initially denying then said no this is an operation some kind of rogue operation gone wrong they've denied being involved officially so ok you take that of face value how could anything else have happened inside a counselor which is you know sort of a sacred but a country land in istanbul if you like. well from what i've been reading truly international media mr kushner first went to the saudi embassy in washington d.c. where he lives to get the paperwork so that he could get married then he was told he couldn't then he applied to the saudi embassy in london and he couldn't and he was always sent directed to the saw the consulate in istanbul so there was an attempt to push him towards just them. we don't know what the images were everyone knows that is that is a great hope for different saw the opposition groups they like to stay in istanbul
7:10 am
that i like to live in istanbul so they were probably given that message as well that's why turkey is source sensitive because we have been. place of safe haven for centuries for different nationalities religious groups and when something of that sort happens at our land at our country where very much worry even if it's a diplomatic territory is not an embassy so the when it's all mention rules do not apply fully but partially and we need to find out what we had to have the saudi permission to go in and look for evidence look for. clues to give us an idea what really happens and it took a long time for it's obvious to grant that permission at the end we did it and apparently the investigation is ongoing but at this phase we're willing to prosecute those eighteen people to see if they're guilty or not and who gave them
7:11 am
the instruction to interrogate and kill and possibly do you think we'll ever get to the point of a little truth here or nor. i don't hear you if you think we'll ever get to the bottom with the real truth of what went on a would you think there might be some sort of cover up end of the day despite best efforts turkey has made it very clear that turkey will not accept any attempt to cover it up and we will go through the investigation wherever it leads to. what about relations between you and though between your country and saudi arabia and it's going to be strained is it all are things going to resume pretty much as they were they were before but how much of a wedge is this them if the saudi leadership is not responsible for this vicious violent killing they should have no worries or no desires to ruin relationships turkey so if this was as they attempt to rock killing
7:12 am
a couple of. murderous then they should help us prosecute them and even help them fix their global image right now to argue old they are being questioned and there are so many question marks in the minds of billions of people from different countries you see mr trump even president of the united states has been confused if you follow his statements first he was backing them hundred percent now he has questions yes chancellor merkel of germany has announced that they will not sell any military equipment to saudi arabia until this issue to resolve united kingdom has made its hand russia has made the stand so this is not the question between turkey and saudi arabia this is a question about justice global justice human rights this is a un matter the mobile matter was settled are you surprised that trump wasn't a bit more. upfront about this to start with he's been pretty much on the fence but he did say it's because of the arms sales. well we understand that the course of
7:13 am
the same cell as the chief salesman of united states in different matters but this is beyond monetary issues and beyond sales of any items including military actions this is about human life. our oil general building is not a place to get killed it's a place for security stability to be assistant assistant and to receive you. been our limbs and help not risk your life indeed a lot of ours but looking on how the trial goes will eventually happens of the people in custody there in turkey and what the ramifications are regard in saudi arabia but for now edge of the gas former member of the turkish parliament the maldives i think very nice have a good day thank you thank you. donald trump threatened to build up the united states nuclear arsenal until quote people come to this senses the earlier verge of
7:14 am
scrap a nuclear treaty with russia that's been in force for almost three decades. right out of here to the agreement they should have been done years ago so people come to this that we have more money than anybody else but we'll build it up until they come to this that when they do then we'll all be barred. by the way not only will we do the treaty in question the i.m.f. or the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty of one thousand nine hundred eighty seven it were strix what kind of nuclear weapons can be constructed essentially outlaws short range and intermediate range nuclear weapons nuclear missiles from being constructed it was signed back in one thousand nine hundred seven it was seen as a key moment in ending the cold war deescalating the conflict between the usa and the soviet union now we know john bolton is at this moment in russia he has already met with the russian foreign minister as well as the russian national security council
7:15 am
he is speaking rather vaguely about the possibility of a new treaty being negotiated and he isn't exactly clear on what the united states is going to do he's not using that bold type of language that we are hearing from trump the united kingdom has spoken up in support of this action by the united states saying that the usa is right to make this move but throughout the european union we are hearing a disappointment with this statement we have here different countries represented opposing this action referring to it as regrettable let's take a listen to some of what's been said. we regret the withdrawal announcement by the u.s. we see this treaty is a very important instrument of arms control and one that says european interests and therefore german interests as well. and i think it has also become clear this we can that meeting will have to address the issue thoroughly including at the upcoming meeting next week germany will actively contribute to the discussion because we stand in favor of the preservation of this treaty and we stand for working desire makan is going to europe that is are grown up with the usa will have
7:16 am
withdrawn many believe that the u.s. and russian. need to remain engaged in constructive dialogue to preserve the treaty and to ensure. it to ensure its cool and verifiable implementation which of course is crucial for europe's and global security so the fact that a thirty year old treaty is now in question a treaty that was key in ending the cold war and the nuclear arms race to this point still rising level of tension between the united states and russia sought to international news on this child off to the break. what politicians do something that. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or some want to
7:17 am
be rich. but you're going to be press this is what the three of the boys can't be good. i'm interested always in the water using. your question. when else should seem wrong why don't we all just don't all. let me. get to shape out this day become educated and in gains from it equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground.
7:18 am
i get a british man suing the u.s. army claiming he was exposed to a dangerous chemical substance on a military base david patterson says he came into contact with cadmium a carcinogenic that may also affect the central nervous system blood tests revealed he had a high level of the toxin in his system the first hearing on his case is due to take place later this week. i received or medication for stress or high blood pressure and other ongoing to use i went and all that i am not ill i do not have some ticking bomb inside my body b. my colleagues are still working on sites they really cannot see in. the have higher blood cadmium level than i did it was and through the body through risk retract
7:19 am
then it was and to your other parts of your body it could take a month a year it could take up to five years but be in the journey is very watery whether it's a small part or a large part like we worked on the floor for two weeks without any protection. in may last year david it was a contractor was inspecting equipment at the base he says boxes were covered in a white dust but no one was given to the nature of the powder staffer working with no protective gear it wasn't until years later that the u.s. army told him it was cadmium they would follow the lawsuit of he was sacked for complaining about the incident the army says it's now changed how it handles equipment. we know we won't earn your trust if we don't perform better so will the contractor has redoubled efforts and safety training and proper methods for receiving processing handling and cleaning i tense there possibly contaminated with cadmium only a year later to be fighting though this is had been
7:20 am
a problem ongoing with a us army going back to two thousand and eight when i asked about who's going to assist on medical checks and is that they just sent me away and said whatever just not care not was not my problem go see someone else it was like i hope it will be in class from one to another to another until i eventually had to go to my own doctors fight myself and pay for all my own medical expenses we breathed this cadmium in and we don't know what's happening to us it'll happen when all happen and how bad it will be no one no one seems to give no one is taking responsibility no one is assisting us the managers have said we are helping them and put them through a medical they have done nothing we have had to fight just have a blood tested everyone is ducking and diving and no one is taking responsibility footnote to this theory or som eone affirms involved are yet to respond to requests for further comment on it for doing anything but will of course let you know to
7:21 am
update this story. in germany tens of thousands of signed a petition against a website where students are encouraged to report politically biased teaches the online portal neutral schools was first launched by the anti immigration alternative for germany part of the it was designed to assess whether or not teachers are breaking neutrality rules by revealing the political tendencies but critics say it echoes one of the country's darkest chapters as an issue sethi explained. under pressure to perform in the classroom about the film talking about student head but he just did so because in germany teachers political views are now being reported on by students anonymously beyond the immigrant's all tend to fit to me policy but i can bet some of them to what they call it could be trouble to make money to fund the cost because we found that quite a lot of teachers obviously not all teachers but quite
7:22 am
a lot of teachers. tend to convey a bias against all party. to their pupils and students school should be a neutral place i'll concede once it took you. should not be biased against one party or another according to the f.d.a. example since those are different things to be educated criticizing them wearing t. shirts with anti party slogans or encouraging children to take part in the protests to prove their point the largest opposition party in the band the stark raving publishing concerns of disgruntled students claiming they're conservative it may affect their great student who like me needs very good grades is better off not expressing himself politically in school in germany a student with conservative views is muzzled since its launch the portal has received a huge response from teachers but soon unexpected one because some want to be
7:23 am
blacklisted voluntarily. we will inform our students when members and officials of your party run racist anti-semitic or anti-democratic activities that endanger our peaceful coexistence and society we would be honored if you could put our names on their list of denunciations the countries justice minister has condemned the practice comparing it to the methods of the notorious form the secret police in a scam to me the party says it's merely advocating jamie's preexisting neutrality bill but others say it made mention of putting the ball but the side is the classroom really a place of politics well they say david seems to think say we don't want to bomb any teacher we want to create trouble we don't want to make life horrible for them but we want the schools to be in your cool place i don't think a political party should be launching such an online portal i think that they don't want to just speak openly about nazi history of german and they want to stop that
7:24 am
they want their version of political history to be taught in classroom throughout germany that's where the stories look in self published folks who watch. manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the rooming closest project themselves. in the final. lifts only the one percent. nor middle of the room six. is.
7:25 am
busiest says harlan kentucky. group the voice you go through fannies. a co money city it was almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal was a said i'd. love to see these people the survivors of a world disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to the coal mines here that it would become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's how it's happened.
7:26 am
those are this is the kaiser report of the show that takes you down deep to worse bunged lives and then drowns stacey hey max you know here in kaiser report we often cover things that are not part of the orthodoxy we are we cover heterodox economics and things that are not part of what the mainstream media might say so this is quite alarming for a mainstream media headline and it's from peter coy business editor economics editor i'm sorry if bloomberg and his headline reads the tyranny of the u.s. dollar the incumbent international currency has been american for decades is it
7:27 am
time for regime change and it's a very bizarre just two paragraph article and it doesn't really say anything other than this sort of paragraph by the latest tally of the european central bank america's currency markets make up two thirds of international debt and alike share global reserve holdings oil and gold are priced in dollars and euros or yen when somali pirates hold up ships at sea as dollars they demand and threats to be cut off from the dollar base global payment system strike terror into the life of iran north korea and russia it's no exaggeration to say that the dollar's primacy is at least as valuable to the us as a couple of aircraft carrier strike group well there's a direct correlation between air strike carrier groups and the dollar the dollar has no intrinsic value it has no trade value trade value has collapsed ninety seven percent since it was launched than nineteen thirteen and as paul krugman as
7:28 am
the dollar is backed by the pentagon is backed by violence and the dollar is. sholay tie. to the american empire well then that's why it's interesting that peter coy economics editor of bloomberg is now asking is it time for a regime change that's not very poor asking that question is bloomberg news asking that question yes well that's right and because the the writing is on the wall as the saying goes the other countries are looking to the dollar rise that's the phrase that has become popular in the last few years dollar as asian china russia definitely on the dollar is asian camp they are hoarding gold they're building a gold as the play dollar rise they are looking for the dollar to trade significantly lower. and so yeah you're right in the mainstream
7:29 am
media is pointing out the fact that we've been talking about it for a while checking our heterodox economist sources but now the heterodox has become the orthodox well based on his suggestion in the title the tyranny of the u.s. dollar i don't think these nations that are dollar rising i don't think they care about the price of it i think they care about the tyranny of it is what he's suggesting i think what we've suggested and you know jim rickards has also suggested that on the show and i know i am vitam to come on the show today but he was on his way to washington d.c. he said to talk to some folks there we know who those folks might be about the dollar is they shine so with the dollar ization we also come to another headline suggesting that you know mean stream sort of figures are coming to the kaiser report way of thinking and this is another possible downgrade for the u.s. debt and this is economic inequality could cause us debt downgrade moody's says
7:30 am
economic inequality isn't just an academic idea as the recent wave of populist vote . has made clear but a new report suggests that worsening inequality in the u.s. could have financial repercussions for the country that report out by moody's early in october from the credit rating agencies moody's investor services called government of the united states rising income inequality will likely weigh on credit profile and i remember after the us election and they mention the populist wave we got blamed for pointing out the possible cause of the populous wave as the wealth and income gap and perhaps the people of wisconsin it was michigan for example did not want the t.p. or t.t. ip trade deals so perhaps that was more likely for it rather than some foreign some guy who lives thousands of miles away whether it was.
