it is that it is a store of value it is hard money and it is predominantly useful for the poorest among the poor or you are the greater the need for sound money. the political crisis in venice where loads of vides global opinion with the west backing the country's opposition leader and russia and china warning against foreign meddling. rival demonstrations are up to across fairness weyler in support of president maduro and the self declared leader. scotland's former best minister alex salmond so nice any wrongdoing off to being charged with attempted rape. and smart because often uses

a fake news to tax hand it's a leftist browser in the form of an up the wrong size for trustworthiness there are fears of bias. and then itis only stories had to r.t. told called coming up to form a japanese on the guest on safety and talking about a long running territorial dispute with russia. welcome to sophie and go on sophie shevardnadze and moscow and tokyo are again a dog so are the decades long island's dispute is it time to finalize settle this issue on what the two nations finally let bygones be bygones. negotiator in the curio islands to. dr gaza heiko togo. seeking to

counter the rise of chinese might japan looks to russia to help finally settle post will grudges. to result. from nineteen forty five over an island chain but will japan's american allies look kindly on a g. seven member striking deals with. could result in a territorial dispute bring russia closer to japan and even if the politicians do think the rebels. voters let them find a compromise. dr gonzo he called tall go a messenger and former negotiator in the curio islands talk welcome to the show it's really great to have you with us the hottest topic of the day for japan and russia prime minister abbott has sworn on his father's grave to do his best to put an end to the dispute around the cure what do you think has he asked too much on the issue with the potential failure on this front lead to his downfall as the

leader of the country do you think he's staked too much on the issue. as you know travis and president putin may. present a few and far as i. choose the two sites those russian side and the side only see just you being. in pursuing the they will stations in only fools run through together. to reach only acceptable solution and i think that's all the right way of going to go says sure but at this point both russia and japan are stunned in their approaches to the carolus moscow says russia's sovereignty over all four islands is out of questions since it would put the results of world war two in question talk

e.o.'s sees the islands as occupied territories and wants them back well it seems like these are two irreconcilable positions what is the point of this flurry of diplomatic meetings and conferences if the main issues same soon be set in stone for both parties. well the origin up was in the bull's eye view of minsan not really. each other and distance each other but that's the point of these negotiations on both sides trying to find a mutually acceptable solution and you if you have listened carefully to the outcome of the present of you look both sides have agreed with me they are going to do their best in order to find these mutually acceptable solution i've just gone and i don't have anything let the president and the prime minister and their foreign minister and they're. really our best you know that you find these

recently i've heard the police but also i'm thinking about this issue think kero island it's been there for the last seventeen years shows that i says this period should be solved now or never but if the two nations manage to coexist through decades without you know settling reality show why the rush now time to stop it all of the full sixty us continuously send the message this is on the soup weeks you can isn't putin and myself kind of result if the timing and as you may know mitt romney is the sort of priest of these are his quotes of these he has a right you know he has the power to make consistory decisions and as you mentioned we have been negotiating this fully for so seven before us and taking into account our baseball just and taking into account the position of the country it's one way

i think this is one of the best way best tiny little to have been haunting us both of in for your. opinion polls show that seventy five percent of the japanese would only welcome the peace treaty in japan gets all four islands and in the best case scenario russia is prepared to discuss to saying how the japanese people are all riled up about it what and no deal with russia or better for the general public in japan than a compromise to my knowledge. i mean it's obvious. this is an obvious public statement but no we have to be sued because they're just false if we did follow us even know. that this my understanding yeah not. too easily no we do not know exactly what

final solution the final and going to wait. until these three thousand will come out through to lead us. to foreign ministers and their. well let us be. too late be the of of these their seasons but you could there are the historic value the islands are also just are typically important to russia they work as a buffer between russia and the pacific and for impressions or could have for its access to the ocean what is talk here where to offer to make up all this. you have to know like the secret you know. one by one and see what will be the final outcome and. common sense tells us if you know we're going to

find some solution which will endanger russian security if you listen i don't think this will come out so the two sides have to come out isolation weeks who don't create calm so there are some. security positions that's just common sense and i'm sure i'm sure that the two sides will do their best they will they will be able to find the kind of solution i do such as my you so i know a treaty with the united states washington has a right to had military bases on japanese territory and an american base on the keralite lands is something russia isn't prepared to get so japan does obtain any of the islands how can a balance out russia's security interests with commitments to its alliance with the united states and i think you are understanding of this if you think through the argument the reason we've just united states is not necessarily accurate not really

and the united states of the security i could be men and young going to discuss without it already where there are many bases. it does it certainly means up somebody. or. i'm not getting security i mean i. think they have bases wherever they want to they need i'm just and my job and you thought oh it is up to the negotiations between the pilot and the united states and. if so them through some months if not american. bases. if some kind of agreement will be. funded you know the united states we're not. the one who's the host of i remember between the ponderosa reeses all saw this on the c. one hundred ten and all of them based on the structure of the security i mean.

common sense i understand but it doesn't mean much when sad in words also pledges don't mean much in the long term when the russians have learned their lesson with nato so what concrete guarantees can japan provide to moscow to rule out the u.s. presence on carol's out of good this is exactly the point the president promised and they're. going to be discussed i'm saw i'm sure that they will find something sparks the former on the basis of the sort of rest on site by trustworthy you see we talk money you know no outside of the peace treaty that you see be suited based on the mutual confidence mutual trust if trust me look emerged through this. i think it is very difficult to foresee. we'll see

a bit of confusion of a peace treaty and precisely this you soon will enter into the school of the trust we know you're going to create between the two countries. so i remember the last time when japan offered russians a deal with de-militarized island that was in the fifty's he had it states politicians why not been arms and sabotage the negotiations so if the same deal comes on the table now what is stopping the americans to put pressure on talk radio on you know scuttle it again thinking about the situation today. on these other independent. we've failed to secure if you have the event we're going to stay and we hope with a fair amount of trust between you know you between each other i am sure i am sure that firm just. because i may. say this peace treaty with russia has vitally important for the nation and this

would create further trust between the ponderosa. oh. who. then of the best in the. northeast we will ultimately pretty somebody i'm saw. be able to bring somebody from the primary from overseas. and. details reese right you know in this. complex. they go see. this stuff and we find on the road before. why didn't the russian japanese rapprochement put takei in a position to act as a middleman with one last call in washington i don't see you don't expect something most of these started. immediately but in the long run in the long run if the.

rest will be able to create real relations so for trust each other i am sure the message. to the americans know this is this i suspect. you will listen more carefully i am sure the start of music will become more credit for me. so in the long run. we may not be the right location. will be able to. useful role in all not. because of the united states and russia i am right i'm really it's. let's take a short break right now and i will be back when i'm back center guys are here khattala discussing the camera lens disappeared and whether it's going to be settled any time soon stay with us.

the value of a big call is that it is a store of value it is hard money and it is predominantly useful for the poorest to move the poorer you are the greater the need you have for sound money. we settle for the past couple of years some feedback and to get these islands off day but the reality is there may still be a shift in and a scavenge in this fine layer of micro plastics. very. interesting. the biggest thing and it shocks me is that we've never had an empty troll please. like the contents of the something of an albatross. people obviously come in they

just throw them into the water as disposal it may not be harmful for that little fish that eats one fragment of plastic but once it makes its way up to us in the food chain it's getting to levels that are harmful. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over one trillion dollars and. more than ten white collar crime stamp each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be old rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent from its last few years some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand. china's building two point one billion dollars. but don't let the numbers over the world. the only number you need to remember it was one. for the one and only.

and we're back with dr. toggle ambassador and former we go cheryl in a cure a lot in stocks talking about this seven decades long dispute and how it can result now at japan and nation without an official standing army now seems to be bolstering its military capabilities do you see a time where it can stand up for its interests on its own without having to rely on the u.s. for its security. any time in the future. well if you look at the. saint of

the structure of the relationship between the front and the united states. i'm sure you can observe the. recent explosion of sort of standing. right where you can weeks i mean it has made the last six yes. i have spent this position of some standing and this is a long term very rich would be supported by those of these people in the know and well. maybe well for me who'd be in prison you have to think through media well do you think it's a let me think it's going do you think i shared tears of option off the carols islands would work for japan a deal where japanese companies get a special legal status on a russian low one operating on the islands or explore resources jointly with the russians and its formal sovereignty over the islands and matter of principle for japan and the prime minister abbott in getting to the final solution raise and i

suspect. that aspect of summer and then it will come to d.c. will. we silence these it is a very delicate issue and decided to go seeking but reach their via the resolution on florida. there will be you know it's a new situation in which russians and japanese have to work straight history on the islands you know holding the event they have made in the us going in that sense the economic aspect not be my question was i'm sorry to interrupt you dr but my question was a little bit different my question was do you think that japan would agree on this you know joint hears of violent shared tears a violent. could that be i don't know. well you know.

this well joint use you know really big statement. in what little you know what we've got is already a study of sound on a police. officer and if he decided. and russia have to want to leave and what he's free on the islands. sharing as much as possible of interest. for much think i agree but all of this think that's not really true this is. but look at everything come up but look at it this way look at it this way dr maybe a share of status would mean that japan gets its first in the door and then eventually that would lead to japanese ownership of the carrolls islands like any other seventy years your you i hope you know about a scheme we do not know anything about but i said that's already visited here is

the important and i'm still the spirit because it is these may two sides have to work out that kind of on joint cooperation we would be talking to both i don't understand why you are full of fear figuring out that's kind of it possible solution which certainly would not be accepted by a long sight we have to work on a joint activities which will be acceptable to both you have to be realistic let me i want to tell you i want to talk about sanctions a little bit because japan's own sanctions on russia are pretty much the most moderate. that are out there do you think this sob between moscow and talk ill go to their complete removal or are they so i like enough to not pay attention to them at all well only six years of the negotiations between of a present to us from you know the stick because of the sanction issue.

first you have to recognize that the despite these times and. now the two sides seems to be very sincere in trying to their best the concluding a peace treaty now if the level of trust will be. enough. after the conclusion of the peace treaty i think. this is so you're a senior. going over. this isn't. the level of the trust. really comes from. the left in the decision of the highest level and i'm not you know of this group you well. but you're going to be i guess i'm just one more question about the sanctions there's another japan as one of the nations that have been exempted from

the embargo on iranian oil imports again because of how badly depends on imported feel i guess could it work the same way with the sanctions on russia. as i said you know the business isn't which will be taken with the level of the trust between russia and heart in the region of the peace treaty will be the final decision to be taken by by this minister and how he will and he will talk vinci convincingly to the make on site you know at least soon left the highest level and i hope that's the reason we look be entirely the same us today but this is maximum i can tell you we have to wait for. the legal system will see where the future earlier in january that was and japanese representative that was prime

minister ahmed as a he claimed the possible japan russia peace treaty as a means to counter the threat from china so if there is actually a threat from china to japan i'm sure the peace treaty be agreed upon quickly and not get bogged down in a you know hammering over islands but i i do not know exactly the statement you mentioned but. my view my view is that the relations between china and russia are very political dates and for russia and some time has certainly normally tension. to some of those. relations. so it is our lessons this time and i'm sure that the russians are not only in division of the thirty eight who are important relations with china weeks i am going to have a. suit soon on this all difficulties if you want but the

relations between japan and china russia and china are in the experience legal key creates a need to be so because i think it is in the interest of russia. that doesn't. but it will go on but you know the question that the general public here in russia is asking right now because japan and china they have their own island dispute going on but if japan wants russia to get islands back and enjoy a good relations afterwards why doesn't it do the same with a cat who alanson the south china sea that's what people are asking over here. this is views based on the facts. based on let me let me tell you you know something the process through of these two issues. no we are doing our best we don't determine this that these i mean there are some to make my son from price to reason i remain to be russia and i think this will be good for hans

internationals. and i think this will be good for russian even ourselves and the relationship between the ponderosa based on distrust of improving peace treaty will benefit us both know. we have an entirely different history on super. but right my friends you know the current war on elevates the base of the international relations. but if we're reading the history people cross the room here to reveal certain oh i'm impressed on how. i think. groovy religion and the heart of. all right or nestor. yes that or thank you very much for your interview thank you for your invaluable in sides on this issue. we're going to wait and see what

happens and hopefully both sides will hammer out a deal that is acceptable for the two countries who are talking to a doctor. on bassett or and former negotiator in the curio island sachs discussing whether moscow and talking can reach a compromise on a decades long dispute that's it for this edition of so if you next. are get was thank you.

and the instant media darling and certainly a fresh face the newly minted congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez is rattling some democratic establishment cages she calls herself a democratic socialist and she has some big plans is a democratic party and america ready to take a seat. perfect there someone else living inside of me like controlling my body.

the byproduct of that drug is because like severe depression. because it literally need him into a zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault because she's crazy and all that. here's a con addict small time to get rid of. political tribalism we're in the thick of it and living with its tongue sequences now how did we get here we'll take a look at that on this edition. of the politicking on larry king were a bitterly divided nation with
