it's 10 o'clock here in moscow and you're watching all the international live from our studio with me. into the program. austria's chancellor sebastian coe has requested snap elections after a 2nd in command was caught in a corruption sting and forced to resign thousands of people have been protesting outside the parliament building in vienna calling for a new government in the wake of the scandal on friday undercover video was released showing heinze christian straka offering public contracts to a woman posing as the niece of a russian oligarch in exchange for political support despite having called his behavior stupid and it was sponsible the former vice chancellor says he's the victim of an illegal. yes it was stupid yes it was responsible yes it was a mistake but at the same time. and was

a victim of a targeted political attack that he used illegal means so after talks with the chancellor sebastian quirked i made the decision to resign from the post a feisty chancellor. all started with this video that came out of what was clearly a sting it's caused quite a scandal around the right wing freedom party and its former vice chancellor he and the senior member of the party johan go dennis were shown cutting a back room deal with a woman claiming to be the niece of a russian all a dark with lothian citizenship back in 2017 right before the austrian elections so they spoke about the party taking money from wealthy donors who kept their paper trail hidden apparently through a charity organization the woman also allegedly offered to buy 50 percent stock of a major austrian newspaper to flip the editorial line in favor of the freedom party .

he said. he. now stretch apologized for what he said he said he discredited people with his actions said he was dumb an embarrassed himself but at the same time he also did say that he was the victim of illegal entrapment and denies receiving money from this woman and as well as his party as party also denies receiving any money coincidentally this video from 2 years ago also surfaced only several days after there was meeting between the austrian president and russian president vladimir putin nobody knows where this video came from or who set up the camera now earlier today the other guy in the video goodness also resigned from his position in the party and 2017 these those elections they were a big step forward for the freedom party actually they took 26 percent of the vote their best results since 1999 so the scandal in these ragged resignations they could put an end to some of the gains from those election. in which they took power

only through the coalition with the austrian people's party so what we're seeing here are some big changes in the political landscape in austria. live now to hines a political scientist at the university of vienna things come of the program hines now what do you think about what the purpose of the sting that's brought down the now former vice chancellor. no matter what the invention of this video it was his. family it sure to be if we don't buy the big damage to that i think about this. but we did damage to almost 2 years webb and the chancellor declared it a cold snap in elections to limit the damage to new sanath so that he could be comparing combined is. it's now been a bit restudying election campaign for himself a silly thing to the success of the success of the government the last 2 years from

sounding like a. bit production. so it was treated as a solution of the bad solutions. and always will lead them by. i guess but if they don't bobby's always are the best because staying in the government was not an option for them anymore they would lose it beijing the nation so they hope to find a new way to. maybe nothing to slip the election but for the next election. i have to say that. they look because of the image and of course there's a video whoever. whoever did it was showed bad tag. and also they packed over bob to which is full of people crazy because on one hand they're on

claimed to be a cleaning to clean up. corruption and it showed that it was not the truth. and. so that we don't force it more the for what if i think about these in europe because of the succeeded but does it. mean. i got a man not only does the motor for my medical need 3 but as to those. kinds of hands because in fact it's the speed the studio would trade he would survive because newspaper knew of who he listens to the only god would buy and then he would change that even if leadership of the. newspaper so. it was not a good day for most of the chimes not tied to. by their wants and maybe 10 he can gain so we have

a president in 2002. on much on shoes with all its little colored for new elections. you had again it's kind of in there i think. and he gains 10 percent. on down and i have to say nah we had to explain by he was doing years in great vision this is. reaching out. to get laid off hiring you talked about it being a bad day for australia and its exposing corruption in the government how shocking do you think this revelation is being this latest scandal to the international community. it did not really good. reputation of. the sions so i don't think the international community as such will suffer because everybody now is distancing himself.

so if. he does in the you or these most of them say so that's. really. that's not what we want our parties so we have if you would still support him and. it will be and negative. for poorly patients for some time to come so i do think the good thing might. seem to dries before that but i'd spybot or not before i get involved in such a. situation as. dangerous people ok hines get a political scientist at the university of vienna great to have you on the program and sharing your thoughts thank you. the u.s. has strengthened its fleet in the persian gulf by sending 2 more of its guided

missile destroyers to the region the ships apparently past without incident in the home straight and join the art of war ship center earlier this month as currently growing tensions between the u.s. and iran but washington accusing it said 1st rate of planning to attack american interests it's on my c.v. it's in case you missed it has its own unique take on the situation. in case you missed it u.s. forces are on the move when terror could be coming for iran hold on a 2nd is this a game of thrones or to say it. is just that this stuff in the middle east is really important for the good of those roads but honestly who would be stupid enough to compare something as serious as this to a t.v. show about boobies and goldblatt. is that real you know wow imagine if the latest us iran showdown was actually

a game of thrones i'm not wearing the. t. golden head donald trump variant is the only thousands of dragons dragons are a metaphor for nuclear weapons try and stay with me here ok either one be honest as to how many just a few of the great houses are allowed the ability to tell an entire city's into smoldering ashes but only one species dead now trump guerin's forces are gathering outside the iran this stronghold he sent in his ion fleet and parked one of theirs peace loving at a craft carrier is just off the coast he's even threatened to send 120000 sunday troops there as well but he doesn't want you may be confused by that part of the whole list sasheer tonight john bolton says using the intelligence indicating that

the iran distance is all planning attacks against trump garrion forces there is reports coming from the little the virus netanyahu that released a monster of wispa is all of this makes the iran a step is for a dragon of their own more than ever and they're threatening to try and breed one again soon because the trunk guerin's pulled out of an ancient pact which stopped them during that the stocks of europe a warning that a conflict could stop accidentally but when it comes to the crunch they're likely to scatter in different directions when the fighting begins and at least one will probably use. the problem for the iran desk as it is that they have no idea if they're dealing with the seasons $1.00 to $7.00 trump area or the season 8 version . i have. staying with the game of thrones theme and the much anticipated finale to the epic fantasy t.v.

series as on sunday night and according to one study as many as 5000000 people in the u.s. could be set to skip work the following day meanwhile the actor who plays at ramsay bolton in the show has been on an adventure of his own with his 1st trip to russia he's been talking to daniel hawkins although be where spoiler alert if you're not up to speed. ever wonder what would have happened ramsay if you had the sort of grisly end in season 6 yeah i don't know. how we would have felt but the nearest you probably would have been to be on your side in a stupid she's got a dragon was but i don't think the way the narrative of the show's played out it would have been as good with ramsey they i think. i think he needs to sort of be gotten rid of in order to. install the starks back to create the drama and the and the intrigue between the nearest and. jon snow obviously because what else are you going to do just use in so many awful things that you just you know who'd just been

archived you know was going to do now as you've described as well sort of nothing's black and white there's no villains you know it's interesting playing those sorts of rules i've never been romeo as you know i mean in. so i guess i'm. something else. i really enjoy playing the more complex roles because there's just more to it . and it's often yes more interesting i think i don't know what that says about me as a person. or maybe you know i think you need a specific kind of actor to play those roles and in order to make them not be sort of just face value and have depth and to be 3 dimensional and maybe you need a specific kind of actor and weird person obviously getting away from a game of thrones is that is the big thing right now that the hype surrounding that i haven't seen could ask is that what's this is a let me follow you yeah absolutely yeah what's your thoughts of somalia i think

one of the great things about it is it just doesn't matter what you people can sit around and discuss in and have all these ideas and they just no matter what you think they always seem to find a way to twist i thought coming into the series there was no way around it being the nearest but now i was thinking in june last and. so i don't know if she's but i kind of saw up coming i'm very interested to see the scene between. you going to sort all of it goes away something as epic as that which is you know really. defined you at least in the last couple of years as a as a as an actor yeah of course i miss it but it's also it's everything's got to come to a close and i think it's quite exciting the sort of finish is as you know has just fizzled out going out with the buying and. yeah and then on to the next thing and. document has raised questions about the global chemical weapons watchdogs report on a deadly attack in syria last year the incident took place in the city of duma 10

kilometers from the syrian capital as government forces advance towards opposition militancy would occupy the area here's a tweet from mind of how the situation unfolded back then. the newly leaked document appears to be at odds with the o.p.c. debby's official conclusion issued more than 2 months ago that report claimed that cylinders probably containing chlorine were dropped from the air on the city of duma western governments use those findings to blame the syrian government for the attack however the document reportedly written by an affiliated expert says it's

unlikely the 2 cylinders were dropped from an aircraft it claims rather that they were placed there manually all senior correspondent of has more. this was a comprehensive study and you way you look at it iis engineers experts accounted for almost everything apparently visited the locations saw all the images the videos simulated the physical properties of the canisters concrete steel supports rebars everything they could account for they did it seems is what they found one location in the crater and the chemical canister simply put didn't match instead the crater appears the being caused by an explosive shell before or after and the canister in the impact crater just don't match when a metal can falls through a concrete roof and steel supports you'd expect it to leave marks indents but no

consistent marks were found another location that canisters say the authors simply couldn't have fit through the impact crater with the valve still intact the only explanation for all of this the experts state is that they were placed their observations of the scene of the 2 locations together with subsequent analyses suggest that there is a higher probability that both cylinders were manually placed it there is 2 locations rather than being delivered from aircraft now one would think their findings are incredibly important that they would change the entire narrative is findings completely contradict what was later put in the official o.p.c. w. report on the chemical incident in duma narrative the acids helicopters drop to these canisters that was established hours after the incident with no investigation

or questions and narrative that enabled the narmada of cruise missiles to be launched at syria u.b.c. w. has admitted that documents had been leaks and. they're investigating how it happened which into the veracity of these documents they didn't deny their legitimacy worryingly u.p.c. w. has issued no comment on what the specific report found there were many other reports which the u.p.c. w. compiled for their final version on how these leaked findings fly in the face of the u.p.c. w.'s official report the documents turn the entire story down and bear in mind these aren't just random nobodies we don't know whether this team was part of the u.p.c. w staff members or outside consultants experts and the u.p.c. w. is saying nothing other than it looked at all versions and sub investigations and

compiled 7 them asked for comment a week ago with a list of questions and there's been no response why did they meet this report why did they go for one version of events and not the other why are they taking so long to comment on this so far silence with the story gaining traction for answers sooner or later professor peers robinson who assessed the document for a british academic research group says the weapons watchdog has to address whether there's a cover up going on over the to report. what kind of political pressure might have been brought to bear on your p.c. w to lead to what would appear to be the case to to suppress will not use a report which one of the best started as you've been involved in producing and to rely on engineering reports from some unspecified external companies

those are the kind of questions 3 really need to be asking and really you know p.c. w. has to address this i think more broadly than that he's here proper investigation into the o.p.c. w. and how it has been operating because if it is the case that this organization has been subjected to political pressure and that has led to a distortion there investigations then that is an incredibly serious matter whole number of reasons quite aside from the fact that we did what happened in duma civilians were killed and we need to get to the bottom of who killed them ok this is a war crime has occurred and it is in any way some kind of coverup going on and that's a very very serious matter and it's something which should be people should be pushing for a proper investigation an international inquiry into what has been going on how do you easy ws be not writing and critically and investigation to try to understand

what has been happening in syria in relation to all of these events need allegations regarding chemical weapons attacks there's division in the u.s. after lawmakers in alabama passed the nation's toughest abortion all as our team reports after this break. you know world of big. lot and conspiracies it's time to wait to dig deeper to get 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 truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.

most people manage public pension funds don't know anything about them they're just the clerks that they just signs in this job they give them a bunch of money and wall street guys come around and they take them out to lunch that thomas marty is and then they sell me a bag of worms some a lot of garbage most toxic risk on wall street is sold into these public pension funds where it goes to die that's why the returns are so. welcome back to the program this week the u.s. state of alabama approved a new abortion bill the most restrictive in the country it criminalizes the procedure even in cases of rape or incest and punishes doctors with up to 99 years

in prison while a similar heart beat bill was signed in neighboring georgia earlier this month caleb maupin has the story. alabama and georgia have passed their widely decried heartbeat bills these laws ban the terminations of pregnancy after 6 weeks even if the woman has been raped even if the fetus is not viable they make no exception and not surprisingly these bills have been rather controversial this is the most extreme abortion ban that's ever been passed so there's a higher penalty for doctors who perform these operations then for most rapists this is a travesty and i pray for all these women and young girls who will suffer at the hands of the system these are the eating it's making decisions for women in america governor i.v. shame on you celebrities are now speaking out actress alyssa morano is pulling a page from the old greek comedy list the strada and calling on women not to have

sex with men until the laws are overturned and certain voices are calling on big corporations like amazon delta airlines and coca-cola to boycott anti abortion states i think if a woman doesn't want to have an admission to have the option to be decided as a mayor here in the seventy's to pass through versus wade because women were still going to or she was just one state but it's not just the pro-choice side that is getting fired up anti-abortion activists are furious about new laws in new york and virginia now these bills allow for a doctor to take into account physical emotional and even a woman's age when making the decision to terminate a pregnancy at any point and needless to say conservatives have gotten fired up by the implications of these laws i think it's good news why is it that a bill banning abortions after a woman has been pregnant for 6 weeks is not a return to the dark ages what's your answer my answer is something called science human life exists at conception it ought to be protected abortion has never been

popular in the state of alabama it applies only in a state where a strong majority agrees with it were reflects that communities values will. i was outraged i think anyone who cares about the n born would have been it is inhumane it is immoral in my opinion and this is what i'm fighting against the anti-abortion side is now calling for drastic action it's time the millions of commonsense pro-life americans canonically boy new york virginia new mexico and all the other insane states that do not protect the babies native new york pro lifers gather outside like the news stations with for life science show the world your numbers boycott new york boycott new york seriously don't go there if everyone who's pro-life refuses to this is we could cripple the tourism industry decided to find out how new yorkers feel about these new laws they're awful they're terrible for

people men and women you need to make a choice should be i do believe make a choice if you don't have that ability it's not going to work i have mixed feelings i could see both sides i don't like some of the comments that were made about women and rape but i also have respect for life and do think there is a point where we need to be more mindful of when we're doing certain things this is an old fight in american politics between 2 groups that just won't see eye to eye and it seems that the powers that be have picked this longstanding divide among the american people and said ready set fight could go all the way up to the supreme court again kaleb up an artsy new york. beer or vision song contest has just kicked off in the israeli city of tel aviv with 26 sing is competing for the trophy here are live pictures coming from the your vision of an age where thousands of fans are watching the show the netherlands sweden france and russia are reportedly the ornaments it's this year contest has been stirring up

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic developments only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. in 2040 you know bloody revolution to to crush the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just no war here i mean your list put video through in the new bill is that i mean you splendid of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2040. of those who took part in it invested over $5000000000.00 to

assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. those who don't. do it. and so we must you to float along till you can be really. useful for a moment. max kaiser this is the kaiser report now a lot of people are confused by so many people like bitcoin but look at a story today coming out of wall street from morgan stanley they got really great and they mispriced the initial public offering or i.p.o.

to grab a lot of money but then the stock start of the fall and usually there is a reserve bank like morgan stanley has called the green show to help them manage the initial public offering as the price goes up and down but the price was crashing so morgan stanley decided to instantaneously on the spot start counterfeiting shares out of nowhere they call it naked short selling but they just started to counterfeit shares in the hope that they could buy those counterfeit shares at a cheaper price and book a profit per massive accounting fraud teamwork and stanley are so charming is it any wonder everyone hates you and thereby going to get out of your matrix of fraud accounting malfeasance and criminal behavior stacey yes that's a article on 0 had this really fascinating to what he they were actually reporting from c m b c what they were talking about this naked short in order to cover.
