near muscle all the way down to the bottom. there's no really. we're not to sure this is just over. two for. people already comes in for just twelve euros fifty per month. still friends no mother want. partnership with saudi arabia but. journalist.
1:01 am
the global cooperation organization interpol looks to choose a russian official as its next president. among western. americans are losing their trust in social with a poll showing more than platforms like. a second person. against rising fuel prices. just gone for
1:02 am
a polo five pm in melbourne nine in the morning here in moscow this wedding november the twenty first the warm welcome to our international. president sais the strategic partnership between the us. should be preserved despite the brutal murder of journalist jamal khashoggi in the consulate in istanbul but trump also admitted that crown prince mohammed bin may well have been aware of the plot to kill. kill a puppy. well this statement was very long awaited people were anticipating to see what president trump would say the title of the statement is actually standing with saudi arabia for the document essentially argues that despite the fact that it's very clear that saudi forces killed jamal khashoggi the journalist the us alliance with saudi arabia both economic and military will continue just so you understand about make america great again it's about america first we're going to say it was
1:03 am
saudi arabia that donald trump has not been willing to admit that saudi arabia may have had a role in the actual killing of jamal khashoggi however donald trump has been emphasizing all throughout this process that he indeed intends to maintain the relationship between the two countries especially trade would be good a great ally they are ordering military equipment everybody in the world one of that order we got it and we don't all of it every bit of it i don't like stopping massive amounts of money that's being poured into our country spending one hundred ten billion dollars on military equipment and or things that are created like. others for this country now it's important to note that a large portion of the document is dedicated to rhetoric regarding the islamic republic of iran the document blames iran for the conflict in yemen despite the fact that it's saudi arabia that has attacked yemen and continues to bombard and be
1:04 am
involved in yemen in the yemeni conflict and little evidence of iranian involvement has been presented mr trump bizarrely devoted to the first paragraph of his shameful statement on saudi atrocities to accusing iran of every sort of malfeasance you can think of perhaps who are responsible for the kind of food and fire it is because we didn't break the forests just like the finns do the document goes on to talk about how heavily invested saudi arabia is in the united states and the many contracts and deals that exist and argues the. it would not be in the interest of the country for those contracts and deals mainly with defense contractors to be broken right now we have oil prices in great shape i'm not going to destroy the world economy and i'm not going to destroy the economy or our country by being foolish was saudi arabia so i think the statement was pretty obvious what i said it's about america first. the document ends with the phrase
1:05 am
america first with an exclamation point and essentially argues argues that this brutal murder does not change the nature of the important economic and military relationship between the two countries so do you read be officials deny sanctioning the murder of jamal khashoggi saying they had no knowledge it was being planned he insists the saudi intelligence officer was acting alone so he repeats prosecutor's office earlier said it would seek the death penalty for five suspects detained over the murder of political commentator lou rockwell states president trump has essentially given the saudis carte blanche to do whatever they deem necessary in exchange for money on loyalty. the question the morality of course are are entirely absent as they usually are from u.s. government policy as long as the saudis are willing to bribe enough americans as willing as long as they're willing to do what the us government wants in terms of oil as long as it's willing to give big contracts to trump refers to with all the
1:06 am
great american companies that are causing so much havoc around the world because nothing they could do that would hurt them and i'm sure they're going to continue to kill people this is a this is a terrible thing president crumpler girl and it's really sickening and it's horrible. ok to another over a headline stories this hour interpol the global police cooperation organization will elect a new president later this wed and state it's usually a standard procedure but this time around it's ruffling feathers among western members because a russian official is in line to get the job a group of u.s. senators are putting pressure on international partners not to elect him as nicky aaron reports in suppose a politically neutral alliance of international police working together but now the agency's top job is up for grabs and things have turned political maybe because the next ted could be a russian and the response has been predictable
1:07 am
a wolf at the door a fox in charge of the hen house chilling warnings that some courtesy of u.s. thermoses who issued their joint statement urging for members to oppose the candidacy of alexandre procket chick and they say there's a very valid reason to be concerned russia routinely abuses interpol for the purpose of settling scores and harassing political opponents dissidents and journalists there's a lot that can be said about mr brown a man who claims that russia has been trying to use in supposed to arrest him those twenty thirty he's a u.s. born british businessman had an investment fund which at one time. i am was the largest foreign portfolio investor in russia and accused by russian authorities of grave crimes from embezzlement to excess to rita murder he denies all charges saying they are all politically motivated such attacks on russia have only helped
1:08 am
him build a reputation of a brave man who stands for human rights it turned out that in putin's russia there are no good guys no empathy and no morals to threaten me with death they threaten me with kidnapping the russians will do anything they can get away with or even stuff they can't get away with to arrest kidnap torture and kill to take people's properties away the russians are liars and who doesn't love a guy that accuses russia of being a baddie not ukraine who also have a problem with the russian leading interpol russia's possible presidency interpol is absurd and contradicts the spirit some goals of that organization a russian being placed in charge of a major international organization yes totally absurd and last despite procket chuck's own brother being the ukraine representative for an e.u. security organization all that aside if russia isn't the right fit for interpol's top job then who is well not china apparently the previous head of interpol was
1:09 am
heavily criticized with concerns that he would arrest every single chinese dissident on the planet which of course never happened so maybe just maybe the idea of interpol voting independently could actually work out ok almost two hundred nations each with one foot. switching gears in recent years perma well groomed to become the world's cheap versatile alternative to other vegetable oil is really an all rounder that's used in everything from food to cosmetics and even fuel but the environmental cost is weighing heavy on countries which produce it like an easy.
1:10 am
we need to press on with battery research for plug in hybrids. and expand the use of clean diesel be diesel fuel and these technologies will help us be better stewards of the environment and they will help us to confront the serious challenge of global climate change. in the long i want to do. something.
1:11 am
that. no government wants to cripple an industry that's probably providing a lot of revenue. and you know if they are truly acting in a negative way toward their own people then shame on them and and i think they need to reconsider what they're doing these few. we're an interesting experiment i don't think they've proven to be the value that they are if you're talking about fire from waste product that's one thing but to be growing crops to go into cars has just had some. real damaging effects that nobody expected.
1:12 am
turning our attention to europe where a second person is now known to have died in the days of mass protests which spread across france. was caused by rising fuel prices spurred by president mccollum's carbon tax hikes over a quarter of a million people join the so-called yellow vest protests named for the high visibility jackets which motorists have to carry in their vehicles the demonstrations have spread nationwide over five hundred people have been injured including dozens of police officers demonstrators set tollbooths on a highway in the southeast choose the night elsewhere refineries roads have been blocked causing major disruption are fronts correspondent sharma dubin ski takes a closer look at what the protesters are doing. just on the outskirts of as you
1:13 am
can see behind me there are a group of around one hundred yellow vests these are. come out to protest against the high tax on carbon insulin fuels hate in france which is increased by more than twenty percent in the last year if you just take a look you'll see that there's another group over here and what they're trying to do is the trying to block a druid's and roundabouts like this this is one of the main arteries that would hold the way to paris and as you can see they've brought some of the traffic to a relative cool some people have described it as alteration. the idea is bringing the traffic to as standstill or a cruel but nor actually completely blocking the roads one of the reasons that they've changed a time. when these protests started back on saturday a full days ago they were actually trying to block the roads but that's caused them problems with the police so the idea here now is to bring the traffic to a snail cruel and to protest against not just the high price of fuel here in france
1:14 am
but also the high cost of living in france let's have a look back now at the protests over the last four days. was. was a sure. fire . the burning fires to keep themselves warm here you might be able to see there's a fire just in the background there and if we walk around this roundabout you're going to see that there's another point here this is also where they're trying to stop the traffic and then again further in the distance they really have got this entirely covered and what they saying is that the president might call has said lots of things he said he's going to come into power he's going to make reforms he's going to change the french economy for the better but the people here say
1:15 am
there is noone magic formula and so for corn hasn't brought in a magic formula let's have a listen to what the protesters themselves are saying we don't want this president and these governments to be useful in you or we don't want them anymore and we want to change the system. take responsibility new laws every year every month laws that are worthless we have to say stop but we're not dumb sheep we have no choice. exacting that's right and i spend the night here to show that we're all in this together and that we're going to make it to the end that we're going to make it we're going to make it we are going to make it we won't let go i'm here all night again. the protest says hey say that they are all going to stay this is now the fourth day of the protests and they have set up some sort of campaign that giving out food and drinks and they saying they determined that they will dialogue with the government the president might call has said that he's prepared for
1:16 am
dialogue but he hasn't said with whom and we've also heard from the interior minister christophe customer today who said that he believes that the demands of the protesters incoherent these protests continuing across france full staying now and we also know that there is a very big or at least that's how it is a big protest on saturday where the yellow vests will continue to cool for a reduction in the price of fuel and a reduction in the price of living here in france well the capital city wasn't immune either run one hundred nurses gathered outside the health ministry in paris on choose to protest the government's planned health care reforms though they say the rules are being sidelined the importance of their work to be recognized there particularly in helping the two hundred million euro is being spent on the creation of four thousand new medical assistant positions nurses say but that money would be better spent elsewhere they were also protests and other french cities including
1:17 am
more say. ok more r.t. world news all the way very shortly including why there's a shift in how much americans trust their social. when lawmakers manufacture consent in student of public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. with the famous merry go round of lives only the one percent. to ignore middle of the room sick. leave room.
1:18 am
to briggs that are not to break that that is the question teresa mayes find to exit the e.u. has been roundly criticised from virtually every corner and with a looming deadline the u.k. could face a hard brings it without an agreement even early elections how did it get to this point. let's start back on the west coast of america worth there is much needed rain on the way to california which is suffering its longest wildfire season in fifteen years it's also the deadliest the us states ever suffered with eighty four people
1:19 am
have no known to have died. don't trump the schools control the sea with several of the statements on the wildfires and fear visited the town of paradise california calling up pleasure a couple of times each thing that comes out of this. he is easily the most flammable president you it. should have been a more way catapulting argument you wouldn't have the fine was raking leaves i think i saw this in a south park episode it would like him to stop what they're still raking stop. climate change climate change in climate change climate change and the changing climate change you all the force in every weekend does not stop climate change and those who deny that are definitely contributing to the tragedies that we're now
1:20 am
witnessing and will continue to witness. direct to them a jew weapons are real only governments have them and they're setting fires in california all government has turned against its people isn t. for setting the california wildfires. i don't think the political bickering is hindering anybody that is out there on the front line trying to put this fire out what do you ever cared for this kind of tragedy and the fact that so many people died and so much damage was done says well it should have been more prepared but they're putting out a fire it's really hard to spend time and money on preparation if you're putting fires out they just don't have enough resources to deal with the fire the big
1:21 am
thirty percent is in private hands and so sixty percent of the forest is controlled by the federal government and it seems that the federal government is complaining about me. something else to bring to your attention when social networks burst into our lives millions embrace them as a chance to give a global voice to anyone pretty much anywhere during a reputation as platforms for free speech and democracy but it seems the tide of trust is turning for users for a catalogue of concerns ranging from exploiting personal data to allege censorship and being in cahoots with governments. more than half of americans think social media is bad for democracy and free speech last year it was only forty three percent so that makes me wonder how bad it could get in the years to come who knows what scandals could follow big data games like the ones over the cambridge analytic
1:22 am
and google plus breaches and the pre smartphone era we couldn't even imagine protests against online media. in theory what social media wants to be is their owners business after all they are competing private companies if you've got issues with one of them just switch to something else but facebook twitter you tube pinterest and instagram make up more than ninety seven percent of all social media web traffic in the u.s. by the way make it the big fortune since to graham belongs to facebook they've pretty much mana plies the web and let's be honest they're not really competing since the formats are actually very different so it all came to the point mr zucker burke had to show up in congress you don't think you have a monopoly. certainly doesn't feel like that to me. or as the google man puts it you can switch to another engine with literally one click well
1:23 am
some critics say the tech giants are not even good when it comes to jobs wages and the health of new startups there's just a few companies that dominate the market boom of course you know in the case of facebook. you know some of the others they certainly have a significant amount of political and economic influence and it's causing a lot of havoc with traditional politics and traditional. economic business models so leave been able to successfully generate a lot of opposition. from those sectors of the. i mean political structures as well who feel. that they're big danger by these new business models these tech models the e.u. has already fallen some tech companies president tribes hinted he's up for door in that kind of whatever monopoly what about saying that i just don't look into it i
1:24 am
have so many people saying that we are certainly looking at data trust and interest use but even if they do get officially labeled as monopolies the tech giants are more than that they're in control of information that's become the new normal we often hear news of someone being banned suspended from social media platforms or some other kind of crackdown so that poll i showed you we should have seen it coming this growing opposition to tech companies you can see it everywhere it's beginning to occur political elites see it as a threat to the old line economic businesses see it as a threat there's a tax system issue here there's a public opinion issue it's sure like a perfect storm coming together. well donald trump's been forced to defend his daughter ivanka after it was revealed she used a private e-mail account for white house business furious democrats are on the warpath and demanding an investigation it's whipped up
1:25 am
a lot of the american mainstream media as well but it's been pointed out that they leapt to the defense of hillary clinton when she was accused of doing the same. all are you kidding me right we really don't even know what to say the hillary e-mailed story was something that it was a mistake to do it the way she did it but it was way overblown every single republican the hoax reports say that hillary clinton then made her testify for eleven and a half hours. now one demand to hear from the bank of trump on the subject. but. just punted on secretary clinton she's mostly responsible but she had a boss who was the present united states where were the people you know top diplomats in other countries receiving these e-mails from you know if you're seeing
1:26 am
a yahoo dot com or something like that saying wait a minute this can't possibly be an official missive from the secretary of state of the united states. of america trump used a private e-mail to discuss garment business. breaking it down to trump used a personal e-mail account a son hundreds of e-mails about government business last year it stunned the bunker resigned you make this stuff. up with a guaranteed to look her up against hillary would you still be years still wanted to those children above the law just like. just in our lives he's. treated more harshly because democrats the media is controlled by democrats hillary mishandled classified information whereas the vodka wasn't on the job and transmitted some information using her personal e-mail she's claiming through
1:27 am
lawyers that she did not transmit any classified material using our personal e-mail in contrast by phone. war of two thousand and sixteen we know in the f.b.i. vault because hillary had the f.b.i. knew she had hillary clinton had transferred to over two thousand e-mails that were quote mark classified. was she was secretary of state two very different cases. that are never missing a big developments with the r.t.c. up just a free download away more great program start here in just a moment watching twenty four seven r.t. international. one else chose seemed wrong. but old world just don't call. me old
1:28 am
yet to shape out these days become educated and indeed trade equals betrayal. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be all for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business show
1:29 am
you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. pranking gave americans a lot of job opportunities i needed to come up here to make some money i could make twenty five thousand dollars as a teacher or i could make fifty thousand dollars a year driven truck so i chose to drive truck people rush to a small town in north dakota was an unemployment rate of zero percent like gold rush is very very similar to a gold rush but this beautiful story ended with pollution and devastation a lot of people have left here i don't know too many people here and just slow down so much they lost their jobs that laid off the american dream is changing that's not what it used to be. and that's a tough reality to deal. lessons
1:30 am
