are just. blocked roads causing major traffic jams several demonstrations are being held in the french capital over the issue well the one hundred people have been detained while your correspondent has been gauging the mood we've come here to the show though you have a look up here pretty much all the way from here almost plus to. the road has been blocked by many people wearing those yellow vests to crowds coming together to block off this major artery of paris and it looked at one point like a sea of yellow vests walking down the streets we take a look towards the uk to trilby can see that the traffic has been halted in some parts there as well more people in yellow vests out there head to make their voices heard and they certainly are having an impact in this part of paris was.

if this is a movement of people who want to come out together to show how unhappy they are with the policies of might come particularly about the increase in fuel prices that we've seen over the last year here in france people saying some fuel have gone up by more than twenty percent in that time we understand though that across france up to two thousand demonstrations like this it's taking place with over a hundred and twenty thousand people taking part this is what they've been telling us why they're unhappy with the price of fuel the price of living here in france and president macron who are fed up they take our money or. we have small salaries

we can make ends meet by the end of the month on the moment it's the government's fault laws in place that force us to buy new car when you need money to buy your car overtaxed pensioners can barely survive. the rising it's the suffering of those broken to come true and his buddies just like those before him ascending things from. sales or opinion once every five years and then we suffer we suffer they don't care they have chauffeurs they don't pay for there are other ways to raise money how about trying the rich american has been in power for over a year and a half now and he has spoken many times about the process that are taking place in particular in the last week he spoke about these protests and this is what he had to say. i hear the anger and it's a fundamental right in our society to be allowed to express it but i'm wary because many different people are trying to piggyback on this movement there is some news

coming out from some of those other protests though we understand that one person died in one of these protests you know peace at the interior ministry said that it was a mother and daughter were in a call they were surrounded by the protesters they were on their way to the doctor they got a bit scared and a procession to that was killed in an accident the moment it looks like the supporters arrived the anger is wising and these protesters absolutely determined that they voices are going to be heard at least at this time by president. the pentagon has failed at first of a full order to looked into spending on arms and personnel discrepancies have been discovered no exact figures being given on how much money was and i counted four you know when i say she's taught me well i'm not surprised we never thought we were going to post an audit everyone was betting against us that we wouldn't even do the audit. the pentagon audit kicked off last december it covered two point seven

trillion dollars in assets cost of the entire process that came to four hundred thirteen million dollars and it was a hefty undertaking more than a thousand orders brought in from outside companies to examine hundreds of thousands of items but only five of twenty one departments did well enough to pass the test the army the navy air force the marines they all failed now more than half a billion dollars in needed to rectify problems revealed by those checks to explain all is r.t. scalable. a number of sections agency's divisions were given what they call disclaimers saying that they had multiple issues that needed to be fixed some of the things that stand out for example we've got fifty three million dollars worth of an installed missile motors that were listed as not working well the auditors discovered that actually these missile motors were functional the pentagon is notorious for wasteful spending of taxpayer money.

apparently unconcerned the deputy of defense the defense department came forward and said that they were not surprised that this was simply not a pass fail audit apparently at this point they are saying that this is simply showing what they already knew which was that there was a huge problem wasteful spending in the pentagon and now they are turning to the american taxpayers for more money to correct the problem of wasting money to begin with. u.s. prosecutors appeared to be drawing of challenges for julian assange a copy and paste error has revealed authorities are seeking to bring the wiki leaks

founder to justice the nature of the challenges and whether they've actually been filed that remains unclear reference to the case of because part of a mistake is part of an unrelated court filing. the complaint supporting affidavit would need to remain sealed until songes a rested in connection with the charges in the criminal complaint and could therefore no longer evade or avoid a wrist and extradition in this matter sun has been holed up in the ecuadorian embassy in london since twenty twelve last year a sex assault investigation into the all the national was shelved by swedish authorities he still faces arrest in the u.k. for breaking bail terms he's an equally wanted man in the united states to where he fears being extradited yourself or it is a previously thought to bring a solace the justice for leaking deters of operations in iraq and afghanistan in twenty turn that same year we're killing it's released hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic cables to the seventeen the group published the largest leak

in cia history and they expose the agency's cyber tools in a songes lawyers of call the possible indictment a dangerous precedent. the notion that federal criminal charges could be broad based on the publication of truthful information is an incredibly dangerous precedent to set us indictment over sirens agree violation of press freedoms obviously when wiki leaks broke into the international consciousness about eight years ago we had a lot of allies in the international media and works particularly closely with organizations such as the washington post the new york times and the guardian newspaper in the u.k. then there seem to be a lot of infighting and these all the legacy media outlets started turning on on julian songe so the question is why are they not protecting one of their own today not realize that if they don't protect one of their own they would be equally vulnerable under these sort of laws and i think that's something that the legacy media in the west needs to really seriously think about either we have press

freedom for all we have press freedom for none. and there some on the legacy media has no problem standing up for jim acosta of c.n.n. who's just had his white house pass temporarily restored it was revoked or in donald trump's now infamous news conference after the midterm elections during which of course that allegedly assaulted an intern or not depending on whose side you're on the case you missed it was more his political. donald trump buses c n n's jim acosta missed it sometimes everyone's the bad guy. the orange one and c.n.n. the white house squabbling at a press conference posed a real die lemme how do you pick sides when they're acting like overgrown. to support a call say you've got to ignore the fact that he was attempting to lecture the commander in chief while trying to take over a press conference to get behind trump you'd have to ignore that equal to that and enemy of the people and he's trying. ultimately though everyone decided it had been

a bad day for roll lessons were learned than they line was drawn on to the whole sorry affair just the white house threw a female into an on the front. seat at the high rate and found acosta from the white house accusing him of placing his hand on the internet and so c.n.n. is now suing them well here it is the whole disgusting horrifying headline grabbing the video in full in the herschel are you worried i should know better the president that's the national of the other folks that stood up for me ma'am this was me that's enough was present ride one of the early to go army on on the russia investigation are we looking at the right video. just look at the outrage in the room from these some grow witnesses. this guy is so horrified you doesn't even all believe in the foreign find see he may not be real and we talked about. this woman is so shocked by the group of thought she distracts us self by cleaning out

one of her. and this young lady turned to him with this or she's going to put my children up either way she does not look up possible the white house throws out and makes dreamy questionable accusation about a nonevent the global media and all those online on the list take the bait. so the nation's not talking about stuff that actually matches anymore turns out the politics of distraction really does what you know my god what is that. clashes have erupted in the greek cities around. on the anniversary of the one nine hundred seventy three student uprising against the ruling military genter.

a pair of underwear was presented as evidence at a rape trial in the city of cork a twenty seven year old man was accused of rape by a seventeen year old woman he said she had consented she said she didn't the man's lawyer had a one point use the woman's choice of underwear as proof of her intent that's the evidence of the possibility that she was attracted to the defendant and was open to meeting someone and being with someone you have to look at the way she was dressed she was wearing a thong with a lace front the defendant was unanimously acquitted by the jury protesters took to the streets in several irish cities over the lawyers stunt demanding an end to victim blaming and courts oh. oh. oh the home long as you're a up in public in protest as well as police did on the steps of the courthouse where the trial took place can send cannot come from clothing it can't come from

this reserve bank enables a cup talk to see yes this is at the center of america's descent into financial armageddon yes can you blame the fed for such things as the infrastructure collapse across america the ecological collapse. california wildfires and hurricanes across the nation and then a busted pipes in detroit leading to our stick poisoning and love yes yes you can because they give money to the bad people. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race. theory dramatic to follow only really

i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. welcome back the wreckage of an argentinian submarine that went missing a year ago with forty four crew on board has now been located in the atlantic relatives of the crew have gathered to pay tribute to their loved ones they are a sound one disappeared four hundred kilometers off the argentine coast in november last year just before contact was last reported an electrical failure the navy now says the submarine imploded and they found its parts scattered around the sea the exact cause of the implosion is not yet known. and u.n. officials accuse the british government of inflicting misery on the country's poorest people through austerity policies poverty is really

a major challenge in the united kingdom what i've found in my discussions with ministers. is basically a state of denial and they are happy with the way in which their policies are playing out and i think that sort of punitive approach to benefits is utterly inconsistent in fact breaks it is going to make that worse because those in the lower income levels are really going to suffer. one in five brits lives in poverty and over a million people can't afford even basic essentials the report by the un's reporter on poverty and human rights adds child poverty because it forty percent within a few years u.k. government though says it is across the problem. we are absolutely committed to helping people improve their lives while providing the right support for those who need it. author of food bank britain wolf it says the u.k.

stablish mint is not just ignoring the shocking situation it even benefits from it why in twenty eighteen people are literally starving to death not just in india not just in yemen not just in kashmir but also here in london one of the richest capitals on the planet why isn't it this story is not number one on the b.b.c. number one on i.t.v. poverty one in five that's twenty percent of the population are in poverty so poverty is an issue we all need to be addressing all political parties are responsible why is it with one in five people in poverty in this in the u.k. not one political party has a minister dedicated to eradicate poverty and that in itself is a scandal that poverty is not being addressed it's not being seen as having any value and the reality is too many people are making money out of poverty.

one thousand people are now missing him into one of the worst wildfires in california history statewide seventy four people are now confirmed to have died in the inferno. blaze began on november eighth and has already destroyed nearly twelve thousand buildings off two hundred forty thousand acres of course doesn't trump has arrived at the scene local authorities stressed the number of missing is likely to change. public health fears have been expressed in one mexican state over the vast amounts of coca cola being drunk but it's got nothing to do with addiction to the fizzy drink instead it's just because it's so much easier to get hold of the water.

this state has failed to provide safe drinking water so coca-cola like any company is taking advantage of the gap the needs we felt people need water or something else to drink so google. could call as an offering for daily work and enough into god. in indigenous cultures these posh liquor which has always been the favorite ritual drink now color is on the same level. if someone has no money they can use the soft drinks a form of currency. years of work does could cure people

oh yes drinking coca-cola will take everything back out of your body and it will. no longer and. previously it was an estimated that thirty percent of the digital population consumed chalk drinks now it's fifty percent. one of the big consequence is we're tired of diseases that people come to the hospital none of them are in their city and dave. i haven't had my regular check on them since the summer and that was when the detectives should get to see. the way in san cristoval and the surrounding municipalities water is not drinking water is not providing.

that wraps things up for this music i think staying with us here on r.t. ladies that date stop their. blushes and make each of the tea cup go to home washing the bleach he cut the whole cost for the team your he said it's not that it's in debts or shots that always sting against. the bill c. osaki included. a lot of it i was going to have been scheming

to do shirley horn in the courtroom maybe shirley's. during the session his are still to be calm cool in. the mummy which a british mr worst levels you. pay for it didn't happen this is the phrase that has become a mantra for many people as more and more people get involved in visualizing the world around them is the story we tell ourselves about ourselves changing.

to imagine decades after the war a nazi doctor was still active. in the nineteen seventies crittle had as the chair of its board a man convicted of mass murder and slavery at ash with a german company develops in the divide a drug that was promoted as completely safe even during pregnancy it turned out to have terrible side effects what has happened to my baby is anything paul you know she said she's just cut short arms minix a little mind victims i have to this day received no compensation they never apologized for the suffering that not only want the money i want the revenge.

i am max keiser this is the kaiser it for their show that takes you into a house of mirrors or is it. cissie we look like each other but this is actually kind of a mirror reflection of the last episode because we were in the last episode we talked about general electric g.e. and all the share buybacks which did not save that company from well right now it looks like bankruptcy but of course the democrats in the house could rescue it but here is a tweet that shows big u.s. companies spent more money on buying back shares than they did on capital expenditures in the first half of twenty eighteen the last time that happened for two straight quarters was just before the crisis according to this chart from deutsche bank's thorsten stock there you go these are the share buybacks and that's the stock price and we look like we could be in for another crash crash yeah

exactly well. a few points there number one share buybacks used to be illegal why for this very reason just hollows the company out it's like debt monetization by government was the u.s. is also engaged but is kind of like that mt is ation for a corporation which follows a corporation and then the corporation collapses number two this is obviously why there's only for structure because companies that are in the infrastructure business are buying back their own stock instead of building infrastructure number three were they get all this cheap money to buy back their own stock oh they're going to from the federal reserve bank oh wow even a fair reserve bank unable to contact or see yes is it at the center of america's descent into financial armageddon yes can you blame the fed for such things as the infrastructure collapse across america the ecological collapse having california wildfires and hurricanes across the nation and i'm busted pipes in detroit leading

arsenic poisoning in lead yes yes you can because they give money to the bad people because a bad people have leverage in a club doctor says. there is that but importantly all of that started in the last episode we pointed out that general electric shares had an all time high in two thousand just as bill clinton exited and left behind the destruction of glass steagall and the introduction of the commodities futures modernization act so all those that hyper financialization and the extraction of all the wealth in the looting of the nation and the wealth have been created over the previous generations was possible only once you know clinton gave that as a gift for all of his you know exiting treasury secretaries and other officials who then went on to work for the same firms that engaged in all of this financial engineering so from two thousand we've seen. you know the total destruction of the

wealth creation machine in this country and you also see the decline in average wages really start to drop off then from then on the wealth and income gap really take off as all the wealth extraction you you know the stock markets have become a tool for wealth extraction not wealth creation that it used to be so they extracted all the wealth and who owns all the shares but the top ten percent but especially the top one percent of the population and they extract all the wealth and all those people who are working at these companies have to work for a wage if you don't hold these assets that have now become like a carcass to be picked then you're going to be a sucker like one of these useless class as they're now being called a lawyer bring up an interesting point there on a subtle distinction can be made between money printing and financial engineering which for the most part means. exaggerating or expanding the ability to borrow

so clinton with the commodity futures modernization act and they were ducks and glass steagall allowed corporations to put up not ten cents for every dollar they are own or even one penny for every dollar they borrow but one one hundredth of a penny for every dollar they borrowed. that means that the asset base that girds this upside down pyramid called the american economy is getting smaller and smaller and smaller more as the debt gets bigger and bigger and bigger that's an unstable structure that means at some point it topples over and at some point if you will leverage when it becomes to the point where it is now where the interest on the debt is a line item on the budget that exceeds some incredible spend like military i believe then you know you are talking about a hyper inflationary collapse of course there are some nations and.
