france is shock after fires in the not the jewel in paris badly damaging the iconic struck. its french heritage it's part of the burns with it it's shocking we find comfort in the fact that there are no victims but it sounds french historical heritage he could have been passed through his helicopters and was one hundred. million a sanchez award for his whistle blowing by a group of i mean things just days after being locked up in the u.k. we speak to a nobel peace prize laureate she wants the handover the honor personally. i think we have to acknowledge. and thank god i want to do them personally for all he has

done for us. former key european politicians are not to follow the u.s. example when it comes to the middle east. have you with us this evening this is r.t. international. today coming to terms with a devastating fire that ravaged one of the world's most famous buildings the not done cathedral in paris investigators believe the blaze may have been the result of ongoing restoration work on the cathedrals roof and spire both of which collapsed president emanuel micron has pledged that the building will rise from the ashes here are pictures of the buildings gutted roof the french interior minister today visited the site to assess the damage for himself and the french president has just addressed the nation vying to rebuild in record time. your bet you want to get it

we will rebuild not even more beautifully and i wanted to be completed in five years we can do this. right now hundreds of prisoners have gathered for a vigil singing praying and contemplating the devastation caused to the historic building to show the dubious given ports from the french capital. cathedral literally sits in the hearts 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 there 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. it's 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. it's 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 spot and the roof both collapsed last night as those flames ravaged the inside if not 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. you are.

you know says there are two fronts which is burning reduces his or her two front zero two fires and so that's a part of. we are losing tonight's c c i salute your 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. it was a challenge. a live live below. i said it's very sad it's one of the great monuments of france i'll leave that far away so it's devastating that a monument like this is burning.

and then most of. i say this to someone else and 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 it is what our history deserves it is our destiny. from five hundred firefighters four to contain the devastating fire we spoke to the president of the international association of fire chiefs thomas jenkins explained the difficulties in tackling such an inferno. our fire safety is number one because we have to make sure that we can back out plates 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 or you know happy that has value what you would consider normal property so just. unbelievably historic call

for here sparse 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 preserved as much as it can be and we want to see all those firefighters go on to say. the world is sharing in france's shock leaders around the globe have expressed their condolences to the french nation saying not to dom's not just part of french identity but a world heritage. so horrible to watch the massive fire not true damn cathedral in paris perhaps flying water tankers could be used to put it out must act quickly i'm following the not saddam for a minute by minute not just on the perry belongs to all humanity what a spectacle what horror 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 drove former deputy director of culture at the next you know s.k.

francesco bandar and says that this will be more about reconstruction than restoration. now we can distraction that one long yesterday i mean all uses gone. we have to completely different things and what would have to be done is really a major reconstruction well just a short. major reconstruction project this will. difficult to say today. how much it cost certainty on the order that many many hundreds of millions of dollars even in a way was also. a lot more than society can do for the morning because you know about one hundred years ago hundred years ago if you know when two major more. regimes and there's been. through. the generations so i remember feeling it with everybody we have to. be able to.

get to the future. just days after being dragged by police from his asylum refuge and locked up in jail wiki leaks founder julian assange is being honored by some members of the european parliament they have granted him an award for journalists whistleblowers and defenders of the right to information you want was given to nobel peace prize laureate mary maguire who's volunteered to hand it to him personally. this truly national was arrested last week when his asylum in the ecuadorian embassy in london was revoked and his citizenship suspended he was convicted by u.k. court of breaching bail is also being charged in the us with conspiracy to hack

a government computer science faces extradition to the states and up to five years in prison or some fear the whistleblower could face far more serious charges the moment he steps foot on american soil we spoke earlier to mark because it was the hound of the award to the whistleblower very happy to identify and receive the prize on behalf of julian the science and i have asked that i be allowed to visit julian assange and belmarsh prison in london and i hope that will be granted i just think it's very important that we acknowledge julian assange for the great sacrifice that he has me and for us all one must ask the question why didn't this happen before i nominated in this year for the nobel peace prize for his work for peace and trying to end war and suffering of the people he knew when he published

through ekiti lakes he knew he would be a wanted man. and he was governor freedom i think we have to acknowledge julian assange and thank him and i want to do that personally for all he has done for us i was deeply shocked that julian assange who was arrested from there could or is amber say so treated so badly dragged died of the embassy julian assange. is there or is his human rights and he should be free in media and under no circumstances sent to america for a jury trial because if that happens we are become poorer and live in a very dark orders for our children to. be revealed donald trump called former u.s. president jimmy carter for the first time over the weekend to discuss relations between america and china carter reportedly criticize the u.s.

is current war mongering foreign policy and encourage trying to follow the chinese example by spending the military budget differently china has not wasted a single premium war and that's why they're ahead of us in almost every way and i think the difference is if you take three trillion dollars and put it in american infrastructure you'd probably have two trillion left over would have high speed rail road we have bridges that aren't collapsing we have roads there are maintained properly the u.s. spent three times more than china on defense in twenty eight much of the budget goes on military operations conducted in various parts of the world china on the other hand spends money on bolstering national security and countering terrorism is not in seventy nine beijing's conducted almost no military offensives however the u.s. considers china a potential major threat to international security. we face growing threats from china and beijing will use its military clout to expand its footprint in using

military tools as well as propaganda to modernize in an expanding authority considerable nuclear forces former u.s. congressman ron paul hopes that carter's recommendations the truck will prove useful in developing u.s. china relations. i thought he was pretty shrewd and he acknowledged to the president president romney says you know you're right you ought to be worried about china because they're getting way ahead because they're smart enough not to waste too much money on their military and. he was claiming that we as americans spend too much and this is this is true and i think there's a you know a pamphlet put out many years ago by an austrian economist henry hazlitt it was entitled instead of what and you know when you run it when you spend money on something like military instead of why and it was mentioned introduction that maybe it would have been spent on infrastructure or health care or who knows what but

every time they say well it's absolutely necessary we do this because it creates jobs when you build weaponry but no i think it's fascinating i think it's great that he did talk to the president and the president president carter reminded him that china has not been at war since we started diplomatic relationships again one nine hundred seventy nine when when carter was president so and he also threw out the number he says you know only sixteen years of our two hundred forty years of history have we've been at peace so we as a nation have generally endorsed war much too generously. a number of prominent european politicians of express the discontent with america's israel policy and let's it's a british newspaper the guardian they said the e.u. must recognize jerusalem as a capital both of israel and an independent palestinian state be to all of explains

. 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 and 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. 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 could be bullied to lee side live i mean as european story call is your 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 our i personnel for prosecution will be met with a swift and vigorous response. this idea that the united. they send 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 recognized only one side screams to jerusalem and demonstrated to disturb an indifference to israel a settlement 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 adat or other players russia is why don't the players that can be helped to find a balance. if you still america remains a key 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. on european legal efforts but this is our point we see europe silent we see europe not seen gauge it all 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 particular e.u. leader that stands out as the one who would stand up and challenge the united states is

a unilateral approach. towards the israeli palestinian situation peter all over r.t. berlin. russian state duma's passed the bill dubbed the internet isolation bill will make its claim that it will help ensure russia's security online all the critics claim it's an attempt at censorship michael exactly discussed initiative with our correspondent richard national. it's called the bill on separate internet and it is aimed at creating domestic told to 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 this means 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 only source of this bill say that is simply a response to america's two thousand and eighteen strategy or national cybersecurity that they found aggressive this is their word it is supposed to come into force later in the year but it still has to be approved by the parliament

upper temper 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 in russia believing that it is a tool to lee in the interests of the russian people and the cyber security of these 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 with iraq. even among the state duma deputies in russia they say it will allow sentences shape that they too 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 you tonight 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 at protection from external cyber threats that could theoretically paralyze the internet in the country do those fears have any grounds while many believe that these theories are quite real early in february the american newspaper washington. published an article claiming that the us 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 the american elections so that is quite serious and that article cited a number of us high ranking officials with no names given though claiming that that was just the beginning of a massive cyber contain against trash well if the is claims are real and these threats are real from the russian authorities point of view it absolutely makes

sense to protect the country including by introducing this law. subject of illegal immigration so 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 off to so-called sanctuary cities if the democrats don't back down. we could fix that and show fairest if the democrats would agree but if they don't agree we might as well do what they always say they want but they want more people in there saying sure cities well we'll give them more people we can give more a lot we can give them an unlimited supply and let's see if they're so happy they say we have open arms are over so they have open arms let's see if they have open arms. trump also sarcastically agreed with pop star left wing social activists show who stated that early couldn't take more illegals as it has to care for its own citizens including homeless ones a stance that came as

a surprise to many she'd previously been a vocal defender of immigrants she even claimed she was ready to take some home to protect them isn't the only democrat to objects to trump's proposal. no 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 you spoke to legal the media analyst line the liberals that the democrats are all talk. what trump has been saying and others rational people is 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 your 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 all that 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 and 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 grab to corruption here getting what they believe asking for unlimited on that are on. conditional this masses of humanity. of dreamers be careful what you ask. about that but it's and how often are.

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 go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising us all if you think. 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. welcome to max kaiser financial survival guide . looking forward to your mention of town. yanks

this is what happens to pensions in britain delegates. watched as a report. my body told me that i belong with the board but my thoughts my mind was fine and then along with the girls. under the surgery starts to be a very popular. football person dr. 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 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 is impossible.

is still luzhin. it's a mental illness. this is now one of my bones and flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman chris she was taken out from a. whole make this manufacture consent instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. nor middle of the room sick. i mean real new real world. you know world of big part of the lot and conspiracy it's top refuses to tell more than ever

we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. 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. exudes 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 or radical experiments 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 thread 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. now of bitcoin and you just need to understand that bitcoin is on its own journey and it has a way of making people that challenge it look really stupid you know in a big quiet space of course you had craig right you had roger very you had my current these type people that suffered from bitcoin derangement syndrome now in the past couple years you've got nouriel roubini paul krugman and a few others that are in mainstream.
