euro skepticism it's really it's once again tough thing relations with the e.u. with rome now pushing to join trying this road and ballot initiative that's reportedly setting off alarm bells in brussels and getting backs up in washington to. italy's a major global economy and great investment destination no need for italian government to lend legitimacy to china's infrastructure vanity project and dosing boat initiative lends legitimacy to china's predatory approach to investments a moving no benefits the italian people it's really could become the first member of the so-called group of seven the most powerful nations to join in trying to some bushes plan to boost connectivity between asia europe and africa.

local businesses will likely view the project as the positive with major ports being referred to an investment into the millions of dollars it's got the italian press already speculating over a once forgotten port becoming trying as a gateway to europe the pull to tree estas returning to the logistical world for europe that it had for the old austria-hungary an empire business opportunity is the site of the italian prime minister will be forced to explain his decision. of the belton road memorandum between italy and china is primarily economic and commercial it does not put into question our european and atlantic position it does not put our national interests at risk and it is on the same page as european strategy his cabinet alcoves those words saying that the deal would be non-binding and would just represents the initial framework for everything to come their

european partners who have labeled as beijing a systemic rival especially allies on the other side of the atlantic it's called one bill one road it's global and if you look at the spots where there are who are there there are gauging you see some geo political and military aspects we will not allow china to develop its so-called road strategy even china's cutesy promise haven't helped change americans' minds. breaking barriers when making history and. after its leave the chinese leader is planning his next stop in paris but here the expectations of talks going wow are not as promising. let's tell you historian paulo bernardine told us he believes rome should be free to pursue its interests

bolster toys with china. while i think people are going to achieve a lot i mean when you go to the nation it's a major issue the fact the large part of the colony i mean that we. put the export relation which i not a lot of the major states and you're happy about that but i think. you know. in the relations. we are stocking or now own well now or the nation we have a chinese immediately and i think it's a positive thing. and the united states. that. made you can't win the war. on the walk to. the center. and say. american

man are partly less convinced that sexual harassment in the workplace is such a big issue compared to back in twenty seventeen when the meet two men started that's according to a new poll that gallup survey found that fifty three percent of men see workplace harassment as a problem that's down from sixty six percent when the me too movement exploded after a series of sexual assault allegations against powerful men but it does appear people today are more aware of the issue gallup suggested that the way this story has been covered in the media may have altered men's attitudes. during that time a torrent of sexual misconduct allegations have been leveled against well known men and widely covered in the media this preponderance of news coverage may have put men on the defensive when we put the new findings all poor debates on it seems to me to movement is still very much a polarizing told by. what they said in their in their study was simply that there

is a discrepancy between men who are democratic as well as men who are republican and it seems as though that drop is more heavy leaning towards the republican man maybe it has something to do with the hearing on brett kavanaugh i think that a lot of men right now are a little concerned that this situation could happen to them and it's got the moment events cavanagh hearings brought to light how false accusations going back years and years that have zero evidence can actually be used against someone later in their career and i think we've seen so many false accusations that many americans especially constitution loving americans fear rightly so perhaps that due process could be undermined if it's a if it's a she said it and we have to believe it scenario dating back to when women first

entered the workplace the forty two fifty s. and sixty's the seventy's there have been women who have not said a word why because the culture and the temperature in the climate was never an acceptable place and time for them to present their issues and so the old boys club or old boys network was allowed to function in this in this way were four million were able to do what they wanted to do and women weren't respected in the workplace and they were able to take advantage of women the rules have changed and we're not playing that game anymore and that's what's happening men are getting caught and they want to go back to hell things used to be and so they don't want to acknowledge the fact that. sexual harassment is still a very pervasive issue and since twenty seventeen you know i hear it there were engaged at the gross platitudes that your guest is using i take i take real exception with categorizing our castigating men as a one whole massive violent group while casting women as some sort of one whole

massive group of victims that is just not true there is a gradient going that you're not at all where idea really having a rational earthiness placement if we're going to have if we're going to have a rational conversation you have not read me we're having a congress that are bad and yes some women have made false and yes some because you were going on yes some women have made false accusations it is an absolute provable fact and so until you're ready to have a conversation like that we're going to be caught up in all the same hypocrisy that many on the side of the need to have movement that has become so radicalized that they think all men are evil and all women are victims my life experience has taught me that when you speak in black and white like that you make a big mistake and it's been its bigotry frankly to talk that way about men or about women. resort tensions flared in the far eastern russian city of after a central asian migrant was accused of kidnapping and raping

a local woman many migrants are known age after shops and market stalls where they work were the target. but we're. you know. what. this is the reality for central asian immigrants in the far eastern russian city of you could see they've coexisted with locals for years peacefully but they say they no longer feel welcome so did i might not get that we should give you but you must stand as more than you could you could do worse will salute and while they don't want to leave their lives and little businesses they have behind they're scared to stay because they came here and threatened us with a gun they said shut everything down and go home and that's it you won't live here any more xenophobic sentiment surged in the sabeer in city after

a local woman was abducted and raped the media outed a migrant from kyrgyzstan as the key suspect in the city snaps sporadic protests violent attacks and then attempts at storming a mosque many now want the whole day asper to make amends for the crime of a few individuals the local authorities while saying the crime has no nationality also said exactly what the morgue wanted to hear the guest insulting the host in his house is no longer a guest but an enemy. we are in our homeland in our city where the masters of our land and we need to make sure everyone understands that. officials have also promised to hunt down and deport everyone who's moved into the city illegally they've called on people not to take matters into their own hands the police have been detaining those delivering mob justice and charging them with administrative

offenses also to quell the hatred law enforcements have published official statistics showing that out of almost three hundred cases of rape in the region last year only four were committed by foreigners the key demand now is that a very quick and transparent investigation and members of the migrant community support this call for justice to the rapist must be brought into the streets and punished publicly so that others never do the same but the damage has been done already and there's no obvious way of defusing tensions at this point most immigrants still choose to keep their shops cafes and market stalls shut in fact dozens of city buses stayed in the pose following the riots immigrant drivers were too afraid to show up for work for them it's better to lose some money rather than their lives. u.s. hopefuls are already setting their campaign strategies for the twenty twenty

presidential election they're using every means at their disposal to be voter friendly even revealing personal details like drug taking. of your smokes. and i. gave in. forty years ago i smoked marijuana and i made it my mom's not happy that i just did . it when i was a teenager i used drugs drank when i was. with. the wife. if you could use a reason to. believe that i don't want you to do better

than. half the presidential candidates senators bragging about their pot use whether kids who can't get a job because it would not buy the defense for doing things to the last three presidents that the privilege to do break laws not to worry about it i'm just really glad that cory booker has come out and really laid it out how to have seen it is for the other candidates including when sanders to be joking about marijuana while people are locked up still and having it on their record so they can't get jobs we have this thing we're taught in school that everybody in america is equal under the law and you're treated the same it's simply not true the marijuana charges can keep people from getting student loans you can actually murder somebody go to jail do your time and then get a student loan from the federal government to go to college but if you're on a drug charge you can't ever get a loan to go to college just coming up to

a quarter of an hour into the program with just over a week left on until brags that the british pm is in brussels requesting more time we've got more on the office. you know world big. and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be

an arms race. very dramatic to follow the only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the british prime minister is back in brussels this time aiming to convince you leaders to approve an extension to the deadline on wednesday trees in may formally requested a three month delay to the exit from the union she wants to push back to the thirtieth of june going through all of today's details here. all eyes

are on brussels today for this crunch breck's a delay summit where considering the way things stand now britain is on course to essentially leave the european union without a deal come of next friday unless an alternative is found so we have to reset may and her e.u. leader counterparts getting together in brussels throughout the day today to discuss what happens next indeed on wednesday we saw the british prime minister present her case for what she thinks is now best to move forward she suggested and asked for a three month extension to the brics a deadline that would last until june thirtieth she has pled not just with the european union but also with m.p.'s back home to still reconsider and support her on her deal which is important is the parliament delivers on the results of the referendum on the digital bricks it for the british people i sincerely hope we can

do that with a deal i'm still working on the ring the parliament can agree a deal so that we can leave in the usually way what matters is that we did this we're on the stage the british people well despite the fact that this is a deal that has been voted down twice by m.p.'s at the house of commons still it seems to reset may and her colleagues at the european union are calling for support of this deal we have heard today in brussels for now the dutch prime minister has spoken saying that first m.p.'s need to support the deal for any extension to take place to implementing it we have heard the french president also follow this line of thought. deal is north of the renegotiation so if the deal is voted down there will be no deal of course the european union council president donald has also said let's see approval from m.p.'s first so that now is the big question where. they're

not first of all if e.u. leaders can find common ground because they all need to agree to an extension how exactly teresa mayes going to be able to get that deal through parliament is a huge huge question now another problem is that there are european parliament elections taking place on may twenty third and a popular opinion there is the that britain either needs to leave by than in order to avoid more confusion and chaos or partake or principled position is to allow some flexibility due to the idealism of the situation you create but also the debate which will be also here now is. ensure that there is a legal clarity before the utopian elections and of course is the twenty third of may well there should be some more clarity in the hours to come on whether or not there is common ground reached in brussels and we'll certainly be watching all of that very closely from here. well german politicians of lashed

out at the u.s. to the country calling for him to be expelled it came after richard grinnell openly criticized berlin plans to reduce its defense spend. nato members clearly pledged to move towards not away from two percent by twenty twenty four that the german government would even be considering reducing its already an acceptable commitments to minute she rigidness is open or some signal to germany's twenty eight nato allies mr grunow is a total fear over deployment overseas because he is rather boring with his repeated gloams that broke ations mr grunow is coming transatlantic relations since mr grinnell took up his post as i'm busted in berlin he has and several occasions quite conspicuously into feet in the internal affairs of the federal republic of

germany his behavior in the host countries anything but diplomatic and rather him an ascent of the governor of an empire the ambassador was earlier referring to a goal set a nato summit five years ago he's repeatedly been accused of trying to pressure german politicians on business leaders mr grenell has also urged germany to pull out of the nord stream to gas pipeline project with russia former u.s. diplomat jim jeffries thinks berlin is starting to question its alliance with washington. mr grinnell does have president trump personal support now there was talk that mr grenelle might be moved to the united nations when nikki haley left but that didn't happen so i think it would be very embarrassing for the administration who would draw him the problem is is that we now have an american ambassador who is throw up on polish about it especially with demands about spending more money on nato and you can't have five g.

from walk away and you must not be buying russian gas in complete the north stream to pipeline that it's starting to get on their nerves and maybe beginning to dawn on some people in germany that maybe this american relationship is not all it's cracked up to be. now some people want to say this whole question of style but i think it's becoming clear that it's really more a question of. staying stateside the u.s. department of agriculture is facing a scandal over experiments on animals some of the tests reportedly included feeding potentially infected dead kittens to healthy ones the scientists spent more than twenty million dollars to buy coutts dogs from abroad for the experiments.

the agricultural research service sais it conducts experiments according to strict ethical standards they are researching talk so. that's a part of that again fiction that some scientists believe cut affect half the world's population cats play a significant role in its spread we spoke to justin goodman from the organization behind the report he shared some details of the gruesome testing. we were viewing several reports that contain basically just a count of how many animals are at each laboratory in the united states and we saw at the u.s. the a there were several cats listed being used but no one their information about what their use involves so we submitted a freedom of information act request and were able to get some details and usually

about the fact that the u.s.d.a. is breeding one hundred kids a year seeding them parasite infected meat collecting their feces for two weeks and then incinerating the gas even though they're perfectly healthy and adoptable fractionally in the middle of a lawsuit to obtain documents about this research because obviously now that we know they've been going around the world and rounding up and dogs and cats from meat markets and people's packs killing and feeding them to cats in these chicken cannibal experiments they don't want people to know about that and they seems like they've gone to great lengths to keep this project a secret well if we go to this for the past september congress issued a resolution calling for improvements and a little protection but mr goodman again believes that is just an example of the government's high-pockets saying. we found it incredibly hypocritical that while the u.s. government is taking steps to not only ban cat and dog states but also condemn

nations that are doing a broad. us government was sending people over and sending money over to these countries and subsidizing these very kind of neat farms in markets that congress is so disgusted with and then firstly everyone in america wants to see end it so it's incredibly ironic and hypocritical and i think that is a testament to the incredible lack of accountability at the u.s.d.a. one hand you have the entire nation working to stop a practice that the u.s.d.a. is helping people live truth is that virtually any experiment on animals in the united states is legal as long as the right paperwork is filled out. we are checking in with moxon stacy next for the latest slice of the kaiser report today they've got bono in their sights this is twenty four seven r.t. international.

breaks it down tonality. during the great depression which i'm old enough to remember there was most of my family were unemployed working class there wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation of the things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the ten principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy at tax solo down to engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no i'm jones to one set of rules for the rich opposite set of rules

for poor. that's what happens when you put power into the hands of a narrow sector of will switch will is dedicated to increasing power for itself just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. i do think the number one phone they've matter to us is the one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happened each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the old rich eight point six percent world market rose thirty percent somewhat four hundred to five hundred three first second per second and if we rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion

dollars a i indulged park but don't let the numbers overall. the only number you need to remember is one. one. for the one and only. oh hi i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report let's find out what's happening in the world with stacy. max you know on the last episode you mentioned that bankers didn't go to jail ok and i want to pick up on that theme because it is quite an

important story to think about while you know we've been covering this sort of demise of the us empire and you know of course it's nothing out of the ordinary every every every single empire eventually collapses. partly for the same reasons but one thing that always enters this space is corruption and the pie begins to shrink and the viciousness for the various powerful families the names of people you know in the system start to fight viciously for control of a shrinking pie and i think we see that with with what happened to paul manna for it when he was found guilty in the two federal charges in two federal cases and then the state of blue states very democratic state of new york decided that they're also going to try him for mortgage fraud and and they've got after him hard and they're valuing that were going to be vicious and violent and aggressive and then dick do with you so it really made me think of

a sort of corrupt systems. that we're going to see because obviously then a red state is going to start to fight back and militia slaying capriciously target somebody well known in the democratic party and of course new york in particular the audacity of this i want to point out as you and i have covered the mortgage fraud crisis of two thousand and seven through two thousand and nine the collapse of the global economy of course happened because of wide spread mortgage fraud in the united states not only on the origin ation of these mortgages that the likes of wells fargo mccovey or pushing but the packaging of those bad debts up by the likes of goldman sachs for example and then sold to pension funds and even though they knew them to be sacks of bleep. or reminder that new york eric schmidt knight or man the attorney general at the time he led to this headline.
