a decision since i had that conversation then i'm not going to accept corporate pac checks and i think most americans actually agree that we need to get money out of politics pete bougie has promised to give back the money he received from corporations kemal harris has made similar statements but here's the thing perhaps they don't get direct funding from corporations but they have a cozy relationship with super pacs those are political action committees that are not legally required to disclose their donors let's not forget joe biden's wisdom from a few years back lobbyist are bad people special interest groups are not bad people but guess what they're corrosive. people who accept money from them or bad people but it's human nature well it may not be being broadcast on prime time television but many top democrats have a very close relationship with big financial interests take amala harris for example she has a super pac of her own that is very close with the bank known as citigroup and kit

a landslide victory party easier for franco looks at why his rival dubbed the turn that of the elite as a party failed to make inroads. an election in a country that's home to at least $1300000000.00 people takes a while certainly after more than a month it's finally done and dusted and here is an exit poll and this political bloc is the team behind the man who's already been charge of india for 5 years and the right to draw modi but despite that is still seen as someone who was up against the good old elite maybe that's still the root of his popularity how to look at this simple guy modi as a child the prime minister helped his dad sell tea at a railway station ever heard of the caste system in india well his was officially classed as backwards there was even a t.v.
5:21 am
show called the journey of the common man showing his tough life path. now let's compare that to opposition leader who gandhi's background his father was a prime minister preceded by guess who his grandmother his great grandfather was the founder of modern india and what matter the ukase super the cambridge university how's that for a contrast surely there are plenty of otherwise in how's that must be behind mr modi success but there's barely a doubt the elitist glare of rahul gandhi and his one sole indian national
5:22 am
congress party really pulled the opposition strong men down and 29000 poll. year on year it's becoming clear politicians all around the world should have realized being a part of the elite is now out of fashion shall i remind you of what's been going on with the people's voting habits everywhere lately. i want you to imagine how much better our future can be if we did claire independent strummed the elites who led us from one financial and foreign policy disaster to another. 800 people what. do you have heard me talking about the.

5:24 am
bodies and dignity. that you. if i'm here has. no sense of the actions so i think that honestly what we're. going to get the competition is that here is here here it was already with a clear message to the electorate he was used to kill vision for the country and the opposition that distracted the disappointed and without any sense of what was and misses 17 clearly his personality movies was that and you can see the design which is what and those who compose and insofar as the witness statement and so i think it has been the case when a massive changes in study people the 1st time in a good political party other than the international congress we need this kind of success of the success of the nations and it should be and it is significant in the game to win the country and see him on the roster and. how much do you think this
5:25 am
has been a contest of sort of personality over policy because he's a rival gandhi's put in pretty a pretty poor showing he's failed to win over you know the indian public do you think his image perhaps says member of the elites or perceived membership of the elite has damaged his chances. yes to a significant degree yes and he's struggling to the teens always tell it is the time to question critical time and that is not all i think what we have in this election is a number of family. names a number of diamonds and investigations and a number of them. had been defeated so clearly there is an in the air which is an escalation and it just coming from the intel and which is in politics or in new aides is this shining the indictment that distort and such need to. back up and mr coming from
5:26 am
a humble background gazing to the ones in his heart well is seen to be an incredible. politician in contrast to those who just got in a bit about the plan so i think it's something it might just be a very significant going on in indian political history in the national congress just i'm stupid make it sound or decides to come and they got the family because this is his company one of the band from i got it in a stunt like that is great stuff for a professor of international relations at king's college london thanks so much for your time on your insights and i will also not international. that's all for the south join us again in 30 minutes for all the latest global headlines here on the program. the. lake says and she forms part of

a high altitude nature reserve. it's one of the famous chat room internees years principal waterway starts its journey. but if you come down the sun down to the top to bottom i've got a septic tanks up. to ground this 300 kilometers from source to mouth and there are over 200 industrial facilities ranged along its banks. i'm out on your muscle. limber diana into 3 things. i might get out of the mind of the. room here against over 4000 rice fields and supplies drinking water to 25000000 people. that can move on yes or so married by so many of us about us a member of our people. so
5:28 am

end of the nation state currency the u.s. dollar the euro the yuan the ruble the there are some you know peso all those nations that currencies are going to talk about that because one of the things we have talked about over the years and kaiser for a trend we've noticed especially since the financial crisis is dig lobel ization this happens all the time throughout history especially when an empire is falling we see a trend towards d. globalization globalization is a time also marked by the absence of trust people nations don't trust each other trading partners don't trust each other and of course big coin and gold are the 2 trust list currencies out there so the 1st one we're going to talk about is the trade war going on between china everybody has said for years and years that oh a china is in control because they have 1 point one trillion dollars in u.s. treasuries and all dumped them and you know this will heart harm the united states
5:30 am
trade war may spur china treasuries as yuan tumbles the idea that china would dump its $1.00 trillion of treasuries to retaliate against u.s. tariffs is often dismissed as improbable it is seen as a nuclear option that would inflict more harm on china's economy than america yet the tensions rippling through global financial markets could still lead beijing to reduce its stockpile in the 15.9 trillion treasuries market not to retaliate but to defend its currency if it goes. into a free fall they are sure you are on has slumped 2.6 percent this month to about $6.00 per u.s. dollar as the trade standoff intensified well all these currencies are exiting a period when they were let's say post 971 where it was a phrase is often called infinite regress where the dog.
