they're just turned ten in the morning here most of us choose day the ninth of april my name's kevin owen here with the latest world news update from international thanks for your time so the first united states has designated iran's revolutionary guard as a foreign terrorist organization u.s. secretary of state might pompei of conferred president trump's decision monday repeating that the elite force both finances and promotes terrorism he said. the leaders of iran are racketeers not revolutionaries he really people deserve better than to be governed by this kind of hypocritical and corrupt officials with this designation we are sending a clear signal a clear message to iran's leaders. including cause i'm sure my name is band of thugs that the united states is bringing all pressure to bear to stop the regimes behavior we ask that our allies and partners around the world do the same. so the

us is it nation puts economic and travel sanctions on members of the military group is also cover organizations companies and individuals tied with it groups considered as iran's dominant military force in fighting against i.c.l. and syria in syria and iraq caleb maupin has got more this morning. will be the first time that we've seen the u.s. government designate part of another country's government as a terrorist organization now donald trump in the statement he accuses iran of being a state sponsor of terrorism financing promoting terrorism as a tool of state craft and we heard those words echoed by mike pompei o the u.s. secretary of state the united states is continuing to build its maximum pressure campaign against the iranian regime. i'm announcing our intent to designate the islamic revolutionary guard corps including its good force as a foreign terrorist organization as a nation will take effect one week from today in response to this designation by

the u.s. government the iranian government has now declared the us central command in the u.s. military to be terrorists and we've also heard from job he'd zarif the foreign minister of iran and he has spoken up and said this is another move by washington that could lead to further isolation of the united states netanyahu first who have lung. disease nation of the g.c. fully understand its consequences for u.s. forces in the region in fact they seek to drag the us into a quagmire on its behalf. should my bets have been to be conned into into the us disaster the troubled ministration has particularly distinguished itself by escalating into rhetoric against the islamic republic of iran distinguishing itself from the obama administration that presided over the p five plus one nuclear negotiations but the trump administration has escalated u.s. sanctions and hostility toward the islamic republic everywhere we go in the middle east it's a rare or ran around spread death destruction and chaos behind every problem is

iran's the world's leading state sponsor of terrorists of iran's leaders so this. death. and destruction however this organization that was key in defeating the ice will die as terrorist organization you know made great sacrifices in order to fight against i still has now been labeled itself as terrorists by the us government. so this move to recognize the revolutionary guards a terror group was welcomed by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu thank you my dear friend president donald trump for your decision to declare iran's revolutionary guards a terrorist organization thank you for responding to another important request of mine which serves the interests of our countries and the countries of the region worth bearing in mind tribes decision comes just hours before polls opened in israel's general election they're open now over six million people eligible to vote

at more than ten thousand polling stations across the country and abroad paula slayer for a look at the front runners this morning. there is something for everyone in the israeli elections there are more than fifty parties competing although only two have a real chance of forming the next government is the likud party headed by prime minister benjamin netanyahu who fancies himself as a strongman among the successes he's talked at which is getting his ally american president donald trump to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital to recognize israeli sovereignty of the golan heights and to also label iran's revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization but that's not enough for the prime minister just before the elections he was asked if he would consider and mixing territory in the west bank yet we will go to the next stage in imposing israeli sovereignty in the west bank has made opponent is the same tryst with a distinguished military background for me israeli army chief guns he appeals to

voters who feel that netanyahu has been in power for too long i think benjamin attorney all have done a lot for the country he served in public life fall into decryption thirteen years as a prime minister but is research enough is enough whoever wins will bring little joy for palestinians israelis in general are less inclined to compromise on the issue particularly interesting enough when it comes to young people according to a poll by the israel democracy institute we asked israelis on the streets of tel aviv what's his appeal to young people. generation is much more violent. in the relieve like in the extreme everything is extreme nittany own with that fear creates a lot of unity unity a. kind of a feeling of togetherness it's not so surprising that. younger populations. as. many guns. is

way too much in control. much power and a lot of these really don't trust them in the minivan our eye for planting your own was a think tank and she's a successful now as it is. in the state of change and i don't know if i one day someone has to be those been the several a geisha against it in the last several years and there's a very good chance this is going to end in prison in the next year except to take him in his own presidency has an achievement any significant achievements gideon levy is a columnist at the israeli newspaper ha'aretz he brags holds for us those elections side about an attorney oh yes or no it's almost the only issue at stake almost the only issue on the table and almost the only show which is discussed and you know here emotions are very high to boost their reactions though for believing him go

for believe he's a victim of the system go for believe that only him can secure the future of israel only him can stand visit the rabid new poutine and donald trump and other leaders of the world look at them as an equal partner and those who believe that this man has created enough for them agenda should go home the way that it and you know all is going is the way that brings israelis support from the united states this is something the voters might have in their mind but it will not be in their first priority. so lot of stake here in a complicated part of the world as one of the tightest races for years will be across exit polls wrote that they believed to be said to be on track to become the longest serving leader there but not done deal yet of course a lot of voting still to go will be across it those polling stations close later this evening. elsewhere smalling the u.k. government claims it's going to have the toughest laws in the world in

a plan outlined in the online harms white paper it suggests penalizing or even blocking websites that fail to take potentially harmful content covering everything from child abuse to disinformation but as polly explains next there are fears that when this regulation is also censorship. too much freedom can be dangerous that's the message from the u.k. government which has unveiled ambitious new plans to avis leave their safest corner of the internet the country that's famous for bringing in mary poppins is aiming to be the world's best online nanny we're putting a legal duty of care on these companies to keep users safe and if they fail to do so tossed punishments will be imposed. the era of social media firms regulating themselves is over it's time to do things differently it's time to keep our children safe so how is the british government going to make the u.k.

the safest place to enjoy the net well for starters there are going to be some strict new rules any company that allows online interaction will be responsible for their users safety as well as the content that appears on their services in the most obvious examples that will mean purging illegal material related to terrorist and child sexual exploitation and abuse and if companies fail to clean up their act the likes of facebook and twitter will be put on the naughty step by a new independent regulator for the internet companies will face substantial fines for failing to pull down dangerous or extremist materials if the fines don't work bosses of the offending firms could be liable to criminal prosecution and if that fails to web sites could be blocked entirely for u.k. internet users and that regulator should have teeth so we're going to consult not

just on remedial notices on fines and that can be up to four percent of global turnover at the moment none of this is law yet they'll be twelve weeks of public consultation only after that draft legislation will be drawn op but there are already concerns over the prospect of tough new regulations there's so much come to know that you can just influence. the really anybody but specially the younger generation kids i would disagree i think the internet is something which is open and it was a good thing that it was always open and not any form of government or whatever i think it's probably a good idea i think this is enough regulate. do i think that the internet music's regular. probably not it's an open source thing to be owned by the people i think it's. a pretty good idea i think it's a good idea to have some protection in there but it depends how stringent and how close they are. every day stuff and then the government says it wants to remove

what it calls harmful content but who will be the arbiter of what stays out up and what goes down so those social media companies will have to do two things first is to set out filters. to see just to show that they are doing whatever they can you know to to prevent material that could potentially cause serious harm to young children a lot of people in the second they will have to act in a speedy mother to any request to remove such material at the moment the government is still deciding whether the job of regulating should fall on the shoulders of a new independent body or an existing one like broadcast regulator off kong and when it comes to the big stage show media fams well like students craving more stringent discipline facebook has tentatively welcomed the plan for greater and

government oversight with a caveat or to. these a complex issues to get right and we'll look forward to working with the government and parliament to ensure new regulations are effective the u.k. government says it wants to be a trailblazer but the question is how to implement strictest safety measures without restricting freedom of the internet. t.v. radio host george galloway says the optimism that the internet regulator if introduced is going to be independent. well it's all wrapped up in the pretty paper about the entirely justifiable fears that people have about the exposure of children to vile things on the internet people being encouraged to commit suicide and the spreading of terrorist and violent conduct and so on no one in their right mind would be opposed to that it's motherhood and apple pie the key is the point

spreading misinformation and fake news of this from the people who have specialized in misinformation and fake news for as long as i've been alive and much longer than the iraq war was the acme of the product of misinformation and fake news coming from the state and being part of the by the press sun media in this country so the regulator will regulate according to the prevailing offer doxie according to the not to tip of the state. george galloway compared to past ten in the morning this tuesday moscow time revealed she did have a good sofa ahead a quick break and then when we come back romania wants help to stem the brain drain this tend to get skilled workforce to up sticks for better pay elsewhere in the

morning this is international. when lawmakers manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the flaming. lips. nor middle of the room sick. proves that you don't need interest rates above zero you don't need capital you

don't need savings you don't need. you don't need inflation breaks so people like united states are saying like well why can't we just be like you. again so as mentioned before the break if you were this that a crippling shortage of skilled workers in romania is prompted to join other small e.u. nations now to condemn the bloke's freedom of movement policy as professionals leave their nations for a better chip paycheck elsewhere within the e.u. they're hitting the growth in their own countries charlotte doob and ski is the story. fierce aspiring to you members the idea of joining the board is dream need european union membership of what they have in european states would

also be present in macedonia can embrace a completely new agenda today in order to meet deadlines catch up with their neighbors and join the group of countries still be the first or not last in line to join the e.u. or weeks take on this new e.u. vision because we are the most europe music nation in europe but first some of the unions new comers the dream didn't quite materialize. and adding to their wu's there is the crippling brain drain part of the so-called price of being a member state is freedom of movement you can move and work with ever you won't

see but according to remain here that comes at a price and when you know if you are the least one medium risk of missing keeping only one book with people who do this the euro is not the same we think you can see this the procedure. of higher paid work is just too much it's not just romania that's suffering either hungry has also warned it's facing an exodus of well educated people to take in the higher paying jobs elsewhere in the e.u. it seems the brain drain is actually one of the biggest worries that some countries have it's a problem that needs solutions according to hungry second largest parliamentary party he'll pick. talented young people who are skilled who are educated in our country believe after the recent receive their university degrees and go to western

europe to to search for better jobs and i think it is unacceptable but a doctor in hungary receives ten times less than a doctor in the in the u.k. if that you want to have a future and it wants to be a stable economy and competitive on the global stage it has to eliminate those structural differences but as the e.u. expands further some countries might be asking whether they can really afford to be caught off the club so it's even ski i see harris. faulkner which another crunch day on the break said khaled the british parliament passed a bill requiring the prime minister to see get another extension to exit the european union the move was aimed at preventing the u.k. from crushing the block without a deal friday mrs may is to meet german chancellor angela merkel and french president manuel micron later to try and get their support for a delayed thirty is that she's then jus in brussels for emergency summit on

wednesday where that will go to the vote it's almost three years now gosh her time as follows since the referendum and many in the u.k. have changed their mind on whether or not they should leave you know that all the turn to boston just a hundred kilometers north of london is home to thousands of migrants from eastern european countries but then it voted overwhelmingly to leave the e.u. we wanted to see where the pendulum was now. we have a vote we do so much to leave stick to it as best you can and let's get out. there wife has these make it the job is now we have no tradition that we're not even set up right still for case to pay paul. respect. you know to drink the story. time if you integrate in the community.

pay your taxes so you try to you know get along with the others i think there shouldn't be any problem because we have people of the world that we all put on we belong to each other we should help each other instead of like there's that big noise when that research fellow at the university of edinburgh to chemical explains what's next now the prime minister is heading to brussels once again. it's much more likely that. the rest of the want to keep the pressure on the u.k. government to make sure that if they are to be requesting an extension that there is some kind of purpose for it but there's a plan for why either extending it to them is always try to emphasize that these extensions are technical extensions are there to sort of the process in the commons and in the lords can go through these negotiations with the labor party go. to the date of the thirtieth of june is already being put out there so that's probably if the talks are going well that will probably be the case if there's nothing forthcoming from out there it wouldn't surprise me if there was

a long extension was at least threatened to the rest of the conservative party to. vote for this rather than to possibly have no. ten twenty two most could choose to if you are watching the clock now next the prime minister of the breakaway bold can stay that kosovo is simply pledge total loyalty to the us during an official visit to detroit oppositions a similar it's what the us stands for and those on the ground know it's i'm an american soldier on the ground. the calls from prime minister also told the media that washington must support kosovo in order to push back against russian influence in the balkans he's a staunch supporter of the us and nato and in march he even sacked a minister who was critical of the military alliances actions of the former yugoslavia but despite his allegiance to the us he maintains that kosovo is fully sovereign pursues its own policies back story here today kosovo is a partially recognized yet partially disputed state it's unilaterally declared

independence from serbia back in two thousand and eight after decades of bitter tension between albanian and serb communities in the region a political analyst we spoke to says america is clearly pulling the strings these days though in kosovo. once you give the image of being an independent country don't forget that today kosovo is not recognized by several of humanity china doesn't recognize kosovo or india russia. spain the vatican doesn't have been recognized also works in and own country so you try to fight for that but. you still remain in the pocket of the americans and he says it himself heritage actually just coming to washington to suck up to washington and say we're stuck here we'll do whatever you want we want need or we want the european union we want you know you to know where you are best what is important is that whatever it is you're going to be doing over there we are at that point for here is to show that they will always be the servants of the americans in the dark and this is the most important point. to watch out for for she says this weekend. gunfire has been

heard in the capital there in khartoum thousands of protesters are calling for the resignation of the country's president. but. a massive sit in against spiraling costs in the african countries been under way since the weekend since saturday it reignited small during anger against the president who's ruled the country for nearly twenty years seven protesters have been killed in two and a half thousand the rested since the weekend. check. caller so much more as it happens direct from us around the clock but for now that's the news update from the big stories around the world so far this tuesday morning from moscow my name's kevin owen delighted to chose us now of a great day. u.s.

veterans who come back from war often tell the same stories. were going after the people who were killing civilians they were not interested in the wellbeing of their own soldiers either they're already several generations of them so i just got this memo from a certain branches officer says we're going to attack and destroy the government and seven countries in five years americans pay for the wars with their money others with their lives if we were willing to go into harm's way and willing to risk being killed for a war and surely we can risk some discomfort for an easy nurse or. one else seemed wrong why don't we all just all. the world

yet to shape out this day become active. and engaged equals betrayal. went on many find themselves worlds apart when just of the for common ground. i mean more doogan is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in this county or you'll be to stay if you look at some of the before now and. mark was the day that when he was. going to be in the sheriff's most contentious critics the he is the first time i noticed something wasn't right in fleece work pretty much when he first started the corruption in palm beach county is not something that you can smell it seems like it's a nod and

a wink it wasn't what i wanted to do. we've had more on all machines in this county then some states have had collective thing too good went to his website began featuring the comments about gold his family the sheriff's wife. squash you like a book you know i wish you'd stop then you should say and i'm left with stuff i believe what i'm doing ok you know it's your funeral. p.b.s. and critic in this house. i snuck out of the united states. into russia political. men they know bad wolf.

that's not one not two not three not four yes four d. does that make sense for. let's find out more well you know in the last episode we were talking about bank of america hitchhiker's guide to the financial universe and there was one chart i did not get to one fact i did not get to that i wanted to get to but we ran out of time and that is point number four and that's point two percent the end of two thousand and twenty consensus forecast for japan's ten year j.g. . over and over investors keep predicting interest rates are going to be higher than they ever get to additionally every year since two thousand and fourteen treasury yields have been forecasted to end each year above three percent every

year they have failed to do so across the atlantic and the past six years the consensus has over predicted german bond yields by an average of one hundred basis points and the forecast for the ten year j g b the japanese government bond yield at the end of two thousand and twenty is a pitiful zero point two percent is the japan a fixation of global interest rates of the past ten years the us continues apace but number five why investors keep getting wrong why they keep thinking interest rates are going to be higher is because they miss the four and that is for deflationary dees of excess debt bank the leveraging tech disruption and aging demographics explain the consistent undershoot of inflation expectations the inability of monetarism to boost wages and income in the world's largest economic regions is sparking a populist backlash amongst electorates and this is again a theme that we had mentioned in the previous episode and episodes monetarism the

monetary policy cannot spark they can encourage wage growth they're only encouraging asset price growth and not creating the inflation they allegedly want in order to inflate away all that debt well let's talk about japan because japan starting nineteen any moment. if memory serves topped out at around forty thousand or so dropped down to eight thousand i think it's wrong. back to twenty thousand but if they enter in what was known as the last decade that became the last two decades which is down the last three decades so japan proves that you don't need interest rates above zero you don't need capital you don't need savings you don't need. you don't need inflation right so people like the united states are saying like well why can't we just be like japan.
