you're watching international coming to i'm from the russian capital where it's just turned six pm welcome to the program. france is today coming to terms with a devastating fire that ravaged one the world's most famous buildings the natural domme and paris and messages believe the blaze may have been the result of ongoing restoration work on the cathedrals roof and spire both of which collapsed president emanuel mccrone has pledged the building will rise from the ashes. no. cathedral literally sits in the whole lot of the city of paris much of the city's history contained within her bosom a seat of cultural political and economic power when it was built back in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries so eight hundred and fifty years of history that

much of it now in tatters following that ferocious fire which broke out on monday evening the crowds gathered at last night to witness that catastrophe and once again they've come today to bear witness to this huge fire which tore through this cathedral to do damage than its french heritage it's part of arthur burns with it we managed to preserve it for eight hundred years and today unfortunately it went up in flames i think it touches everyone it's poignant it's heartbreaking and the firemen did all they could but there are some things will never get back. shocking we find comfort in the fact that there are no victims but it's our french historical heritage and we all share memories of when we visited but now it's fragile and all the buildings like this one are fragile in terms of the damage well it's still too early to tell exactly how much

damage has been done but we do know that the iconic spire and the roof both collapsed last night as those flames ravaged the inside if not put on the cathedral we also know that what's been saved will no move to the new for b.c.m. where it will remain until it can come back to not at all but let's take a look at how that fire which literally ripped through the hearts of people here in paris last night unfold it. love.

to france which is burning reduces his or her friends. and so that's a part of. we are losing tonight c c salute notre dame is the heart of paris it is grander it is monumental it is horrible to see everything we have learned going up in smoke centuries of our heritage. you. missed this but it's very sad it's one of the great monuments of france we've not

far away so it's devastating that a monument like this is burning. and then. i say this to you so we will rebuild this great cathedral together we will appeal to the greatest talents to help restore not true them because this is what the french people expect and this is what is on history deserves our destiny. these are live pictures from paris as you can see the main facade has been left intact along with the two bell towers and the next forty eight hours police and fire services the safety and security of national in the aftermath of the fire the french interior minister today visited the site to see the damage for himself because for a customer about the cathedral house to be rebuilt for the sake of the french

people around five hundred firefighters fought to contain the devastating fire we spoke to thomas jenkins a fire chief who explained the difficulties in tackling such an inferno. our fire safety is number one because we have to make sure that we can about the place tomorrow as well and that's tough to balance when you're dealing with emotionally charged incidents when you have circumstances were civilian lives are being threatened and in a case like this where you're dealing with property that is you know happy that has value considerable property so just. believably historic call for harris fire department i'm sure that's a sentiment that is shared worldwide that we want to see this fire be extinguished we want to see the property purser as much as it can be and we want to see all those firefighters go on to say. the world is of course sharing and friends as shock and leaders around the globe have expressed their condolences to the french

nation it's a national is not just part of french identity but of world heritage so horrible to watch the massive fire not true dam cathedral in paris perhaps flying water tankers could be used to put it out must act quickly i'm following the not saddam for minute by minute not just on the perry belongs to all humanity what a spectacle what hora i share the emotion of the french nation which is ours as well my thoughts so we the people of france tonight and with the imagine says services who are fighting the terrible blaze of knowledge and some coffee joe former deputy director of culture at unesco francisco bandar and says this will be more about reconstruction rather than restoration. now we could be struction that one long yesterday i mean all he says gone. we have to completely be free and what would have to be done is really a major reconstruction not just a. major reconstruction project this will. difficult to say

today. how much it would cost to be on the order of that many many hundreds of millions of dollars even in a way was also the symbol of. modern society can do for the moment because you know about one hundred years ago hundred years ago because you know when two major players asians and there's been. through the. generations so i remember a feeling i think everybody's feeling that we have to. be able to. bring that to the future generations. prominent european politicians have expressed their discontent with america's israel policy in a letter to british newspaper the guardian they say be recognized as a capital both of israel and an independent palestinian state carol reports. donald

trump's decision to go his own way when it comes to finding a solution to the israeli palestinian situation coupled with no real response to this decision from any major leaders but that's prompted a group of former european leaders to pen an open letter in condemnation of the u.s. policy of europe's reactions putting their signature to this letter include the former foreign secretary of the united kingdom david miliband the nato secretary general mr salado the former foreign minister of germany. we are very concerned when europe is completely silent while america strong is and now wants to put forward a unilateral peace plan these is the reason why i think we need

a week up call for euro to be again trying to be in the game not can delete lee side live i mean as you look for a policy approach e.u. leaders have had very little to say about donald trump's very visible and very vocal support for israel in fact it's been pretty much the same as when the golan heights were recognized by the united states when the u.s. moved its embassy to jerusalem with the latest idea from the president that israeli citizens should be immune from prosecution in the international criminal court since the creation of the i.c.c. the united states has consistently declined to join the court because of its broad unaccountable prosecutorial powers any attempt to target american israeli or ally personnel for prosecution will be met with a swift and vigorous response. to this idea that the united states. and their

friends are somehow above international law something that is called out by the former european leaders in their open letter unfortunately the current us administration has departed from longstanding u.s. policy and this insists now from established international legal norms it has so far agonized only one side screams to jerusalem and demonstrated to disturb an indifference to israel aside from an expansion one of the lynchpins of the e.u. is a project is multiple nations coming together to find a peaceful resolution now the situation when it comes to israel in palestine is already difficult and it becomes even tougher when you see the unilateral approach being taken by the united states those who've been involved in and seen close diplomacy at its highest levels say the european union needs to be more vocal and also needs to bring more countries into the process it is not only america

it is europe and there are other players rush a's one of the players that can be helped to find a balance. if you still america remains it keep player if you want to succeed but europe has been always and will be in the future and another key player it is usually to try to get a lasting peace we doubt rely olds on european legal efforts but this is our point we see europe silent we see europe not engaged in talks and these is the time to deal with the european union and trump are already butting heads over trade and defense spending there isn't any particularly you leader that stands out as the one who would stand up and challenge the united

states's unilateral approach to. it's the israeli palestinian situation these are all over the village. just a few days after being dragged by police from his asylum refuge where he weeks co-founder julian assange has been honored by a group of peace they've grabbed him an award for journalists whistleblowers and defenders of the right to information songes currently in prison i had a hearing set for next month the australian national was arrested last week when his asylum in the ecuadorian embassy in london was revoked and this is a ship suspended he was convicted by a u.k. court of breaching bail and has also been charged in the united states with conspiracy to hack a government computer faces extradition to the u.s. and up to five years in prison although some fear the whistleblower could face a far more serious charges the moment he steps foot on u.s. soil the ward now given to us on it was established in two thousand and eighteen by a group of leftwing m.e.p. is in the e.u. parliament it honors those who have been persecuted or intimidated for uncovering

the truth and exposing it to the public as julian assange is currently behind bars he won't be able to attend the ceremony however a nobel peace prize laureate maguire has volunteered to have it to him personally we spoke to her about the award. must ask the question why didn't this help before but we have one of the most courageous man i have this is the jewel in the twice in the ecuadorian embassy and i nominee of the this year for the nobel peace prize for his work for peace and trying to end war and suffering of the people i was deeply shocked that jelly in this was arrested. so treatment so. dr died. taken to.

julian assange. this is ours his human rights and he should be freed immediate like and under no circumstances sent to america for a jury trial because it's not help and we all become poorer and live in a very dark word for our children. so they come in the program donald trump once again locks horns with the democrats over immigration that more after this short break. thanks . seem wrong. but. just don't call. me. yet to shape out just to get educated and in the gay trade equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy going from duration let it be an arms race is often experience dramatic development only. exists i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical current time to sit down and talk. you're watching our show international welcome back to the program the russian

state duma has passed a bill dubbed the internet isolation law while makers claim it will help ensure russia's security online although critics claim it's an attempt at censorship to discuss this further we're now joined in the studio by maria notion our correspondent now maria take us through what this legislation means well it's called the bill on separate internet and it is aimed at creating domestic told some independent internet here in russia as a measure of the lawmakers behind those documents say to protect the country from cyber attacks from cyber threats while technically they smain is that if russia one day is cut off from the global network it will still be able to function to operate without being affected the alters of this bill say that based. it is simply a response to america's two thousand and eighteen strategy on national cybersecurity that they found aggressive this is their war it is supposed to come into force later in the year but it still has to be approved by the parliament of

the federation council and then signed into law by russia's president which will likely happen with no delay with no problem with ludmer putin known as a big fan of the idea of independent internet here in russia believing that it is tool to lee in the interests of the russian people and of cybersecurity of of course very important these days but critics claim that this could lead to russia's isolation online and will help state censureship are they right to be concerned well the rock critics even among the state duma deputies in russia today say it will allow senses shape that they will become the government's instrument to put more control more regulation on online life and technically yes it will give russia's governmental institutions watchdogs whoever will be responsible for that more authorities more technical options more power to control the internet but again as the supporters of this bill say it's all for the sake of the country's

national security well just leaders say that this law is aimed protection from external cyber threats that could theoretically paralyze the internet in the country to those fears have any grounds well many believe these theories are quite real early in february the american newspaper washington post published an article claiming that the u.s. military had one spec in two thousand and eighteen minutes to block one russian group from internet access just because they believed it was dangerous it was involved in the alleged interference in american elections that is quite serious and that article cited a number of us high ranking officials with no names given that. claiming that that was just the beginning of a massive cyber complaint against russia well if these claims are real and these threats are real from the russian authorities point of view it absolutely makes sense to to protect the country including by introducing this little riff notion of

thank you for bringing us the latest on that story short. the subject of illegal immigration solid donald trump firing off on twitter once again piling pressure on his democratic rivals angered at their failure to back his border security plans on friday the president suggested all undocumented people should be shipped to so-called sanctuary cities if the democrats don't back down we could fix that and shellfish if the democrats would agree but if they don't agree we might as well do what they always say they want they want more people in this sanctuary cities well we'll give them more people we can give a lot we can give them an unlimited supply and let's see if this so happy they say we have open arms are over say they have open arms let's see if they have open arms trump also sarcastically agreed with pop star and left wing social activists share their stated los angeles couldn't take more illegals as it has to care for its own

citizens first including the homeless ones her stance came as a surprise to many as she had previously been a vocal defender of immigrants she even claimed she was running to take some home to protect them but cher isn't the only democrat who's objecting to trump's proposal. i say he's trying to put americans against each other make us less safe he's injecting fear into our country notion that is unworthy of the presidency of the united states and disrespectful of the challenges that we face as a country as a people to address who we are a nation of immigrants the idea of using these human beings as a kind of pestilence to spread around the country like a form of plague that you want to impose on your enemies is really grotesque we spoke to legal and media analyst lionel who feels the democratic party is all talk what trump has been saying and others rational people as we have immigration

yes we have in the harbor the statue of liberty bring those you're retired in your emma lazarus but we've got to have some kind of an order here the left as we call them hollywood's it doesn't matter you're i hate monger so he says you know what i'm going to do i'm going to give you a neighborhood that all of us out whoa whoa wait a minute hold it hold it the democratic party they love to talk about things like free education free health care free stuff you want it you got it i don't know how we're going to pay for it bring these people in who are going to take i don't know they love the bumper sticker they hate the fine print they hate the well how do we do this they love to talk about everything from collusion to drub to corruption here getting what they've been asking for unlimited on that are on. conditional this masses of humanity of dreamers be

careful what you ask for that's our global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our website are to dot com the details on all those stories and many more. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sort of go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people. what not to give you. i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can think i was going to go.

by the way ways of that slide here. my body told me that i belong with the boys but my thoughts my mind was in and then along with the girls . as dental surgery starts to be of any particular. person's doctor. i was born a male had a sex change when i was thirty years old. i've now been living as a woman for twenty eight years and i fully regret this. problem should have gone away from it by now but they hadn't so these surgeries are nothing more than plastic surgery i've had several female to male friends and you look at it and you just go oh god you paid for that it's horrible nobody can change genders it's impossible. is still luzhin it's

a mental illness. this is now one of mine and flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman because she was taken out from a. what politicians do. they put themselves on the on. the reject. so when you want to be president. i want to. have to go right to be press before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested in the water. we came here where did you work before you came here when you live. in many us states capital punishment is still practiced convicted prisoners can spend years

waiting for execution but most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty there are some people because of what they did have given up their rights as live among us somebody even proven innocent is on death row and how many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society realize that this is not working and we actually do something about it. this is the kaiser report continuing our coverage of the global environmental crisis that is money printing it's essentially the toxic waste that comes out of the end of a central bank system that can draw in the exit for

that money and that's what we're all dying from. facing well in fact in particular within that system where we've been looking at a forty year experiment a radical experiment of money printing untied to anything it's not tied to anything like gold like we were until nine hundred seventy one and i think that system of a global total one hundred percent system is kind of falling apart and you see that big coin is making moves towards being one of these perhaps unit of accounts the global reserve currency with gold krypto those are spiking after fed minutes signal quote financial instability for years because it has spiked above five thousand four hundred and the rest of the crypto space is soaring seemingly catalyzed by fed minutes which showed a lack of immediacy in cutting rates and anxiety over

a leverage and financial instability quote a few participants observed that the appropriate path for policy in so far as it implied lower interest rates for a longer period of times could lead to greater financial stability risks and that's the spike that happened immediately upon the fed minutes being released. right well you know i'll be speaking again on the big coin twenty nineteen conference in san francisco the topic will be the data. how of bitcoin and you just need to understand that bitcoin is on its own journey and it has a way of making people the challenges look really stupid you know in the big point space of course you had craig right you had roger barrett you had my current these people that suffered from big coin derangement syndrome in the past couple years you've got nouriel roubini paul krugman and a few others that are in mainstream economics now who are looking really stupid

because they never took the time to investigate because it's all about they obviously know nothing about economics finance or markets otherwise they would not make such ill informed opinion and soon a state actor will begin mining big corn for strategic reserve purposes in the hash wars will be played out on a state level and that's what will take us to new all time highs as we get closer to the predicts we made on this show back in two thousand and eleven when the price was a dollar that will see one hundred thousand dollars per bitcoin so we starting this move this spike on the fed minutes that's the first i've really seen that immediate global reaction so i think it is an interesting signal that it's responding like gold gold also spike that day of course they've both then fell of the following day because that's what happens all the time when you respond when you try to fight the fed you now this is one thing never fight the fed well gold always has tries to

fight the fed and it's sometimes a bloody war and now because it's trying to fight the fed right the you know the coupon printing you can't even call for money anymore it's like s s n h green stamps we still have those and when i was a kid there just coupons they're just printed by the trillions as a way to pawn off politicians or you can buy u.s. congressmen to. senator for one hundred thousand dollars and they can make a law change that will make you billions of dollars is the cheapest politician by can make in the world today and they do that was printed money all the big bankers are on what in washington again testifying before some kind of hearing they all every single word they came out of their mouth was a complete lie and every time they're caught in a lie they just hit the print button print print print print and it's just papers over every single line for.
