2:05 pm
or any other person on death row or any other person who's about to be executed by extralegal knees and by the saudi royal family now to experience these as look they buy a lot of weapons from us is made of gold media hype about these new gruesome executions i don't believe that the us government policy makers will change their orientation towards the radio whatsoever this sunny's or cash out for us that since contractors so you really is a strategic ally along with israel in the me is the us control over that resource rich period called the middle east. it's another story we want to bring you now on to a picture perfect time in germany which has been in the spotlight over the election of a new mirror the likely victory of our right wing candidates. really won the 1st round of voting really has sent shock waves all the way to hollywood as maria financial reports. welcome to girly wood this is how this little german town of gurlitz at
2:06 pm
the border with poland is sometimes referred to with hollywood teams frequent guests here not surprisingly look around me having survived the allied bombing raids hain war to its old town has retained a special atmosphere making it a perfect location for historical and war drama as members of the national socialist party card you're among the blockbusters filmed here in glorious bastards and ham and so the grand budapest hotel boy intrigue me. but some no fear that this traditionally left leaning town is about to undergo an inglorious shift and become germany's 1st to vote in mayor from the alternative for germany party the energy candidate sebastian vettel 36 year old police commissioner picked up 36.4 percent of the vote in the 1st round and he has
2:07 pm
a serious chance of topping the candidates in the 2nd round runoff later this week now actors and directors both german and foreign are calling on locals here to avoid. the right don't give in to hate and hostility conflict and exclusion please vote wisely don't betray your convictions the moment someone claims to be able to solve problems for you and for the businesses i personally think it's a good thing that the c.d.u. was finally voted out it never was and never will be good while they are in power. i don't really know but i think the previous government made too many mistakes. and no i don't think it's right i think the people of gurlitz a smart enough to decide for themselves i think that imposing someone else's opinion or example from america is unacceptable. it's typical for artists because they think differently they can also voice their opinions we live in a democratic country so everyone is free to express their thoughts if they don't
2:08 pm
live here then they shouldn't meddle in our local affairs we do not tell others what to do i can say anything specifically about the spot to. decide on its course so far they have no plan. i wouldn't choose the anyway there is steel ready nevertheless the elections are democratic this is everyone through them they'll tell us if a germany party candidate may be leading the polls right now but with 6 days to vote and the power of the film industry is elite now involved the mayor race here in this town has itself become big screen material life an ocean on our t.v. reporting from the town of garnets and it's in germany. the german foreign minister has described the tensions between iran and its adverse reason as highly explosive and extreme the series heiko musses comments come during an official visit to
2:09 pm
tehran where he's seeking ways to save the 2015 you could deal which is on the verge of collapse now germany's top diplomat met with both his are really in counterpart mahama job interview president hassan rouhani on monday speaking to the press earlier mouse press europe's support for the faltering agreement and promise that a payment system designed to bypass u.s. sanctions on iran will soon be ready the european foreign minister for his part have a stern warning for washington. marked the new tensions in our region and the result of the us waging an economic war against iran mr trump himself has announced that the us is launching economic war against iran we have never started any wars and we will not do so however if another country starts a war with us they will not be the ones to finish it. we want to fulfill our obligations we cannot work miracles will dry to the verge of failure. yet it should be pointed out that the german foreign minister's visit comes with less than
2:10 pm
a month until the iranian imposed deadline for compliance with the nuclear deal expires now in early may iran suspended some of its commitments under the accord and called on the other signatories to shield it from the impact of u.s. sanctions there or by honoring their commitments to iran has said that if nothing changes on the 7th of july it will resume high level you're rhenium in richmond they had at the un's atomic watchdog confirmed on monday that iran has already accelerated its enrichment of the sile material well over the past number of weeks the u.s. has bolstered its military presence in the persian gulf causing tensions with iran to soar it's also continuing to put immense financial pressure on the arrhenius leadership a policy that donald trump has repeatedly pranged. their failing this illusion one of the photos of the regime that is going to go there are. for the sanctions are.
2:11 pm
extraordinary how powerful that is all are less we've heard from told us european signatories to the deal simply haven't done enough to preserve it. of course the ukrainians are getting bit. because they have respected their part of the. apparently until now so they stopped saying if nobody else we will stop again richmond you're right and so this is because of course at that moment the americans could feel justified to do something so europe should move quicker if europe has to have its. functioning to satisfy the arrangement and have some companies benefiting from it or benefiting from it to continue trading with european countries oh that's not. for europe to do something and they haven't done much. agreement between iran and p 5 plus one
2:12 pm
so that. you have. remaining so you don't let hoping that these other countries would the fact that us is out. in practice we haven't seen that you have seen the europeans they want to. basically follow us foreign policy. it's not. what any politician in the. you know benefiting people and that's why i think they would. get to a story being spoken to bodge over the past few weeks not thousands of videos are set to be taken from you tube the video sharing giant is adopting new guidelines to ban certain groups from promoting themselves superior for instance with the move aimed at the likes of neo nazis but senior correspondent of explains it's just not
2:13 pm
clear. you tube has again shuffled about it's hate speech and discrimination policy this follows a sidestep wark to some assaults and a back flip today we're taking another step in our hate speech policy by specifically prohibiting videos alleging that a group is superior in order to justify discrimination segregation or exclusion based on qualities like age gender race cars to religion sexual orientation or veteran status if that was any more vague it might as well have been fog may store a cloud but it's really that vague videos alleging a group is superior gosh according to that statement the hammer of politically correct judgment is about to fall and later other animal lovers that see dogs
2:14 pm
as superior to men. or in any way to saying i'm allergic to dogs but i'd still choose allergies over another man in my life. when i started on i love my don't suppress that couldn't imagine my life without my has was. always very of the me as i see it comparing an entire gender to a dog could be taken as offensive by both sexes and all those that are between and sexual but it does raise an interesting point who the hell are you tube facebook or twitter the platforms for people to chat on express themselves or they censors moral police responsible for how and what you say neither apparently all responsibility is yours and if you violate any of the incredibly vague rules you'll get banned no matter how funny you think it is chinese tourists are the worst
2:15 pm
tourists there say the traffic we're going to hold. tours about all the travelers like please. they are here are 10 things russia excels at and does better than how we do it in america both consume a lot of vodka but as far as manufacturers the us hasn't really brought anything new to the game including adding flavor to it that was popular among russian aristocracy before the us was even a country russians is better than americans that is like oh my god so racist someone call 911 dog youtube dot com militant feminists your next this is eat. an objective observer can see that man's life is nothing but a kind of staggering control by his mother to control by his wife. women can both think and feel the same time man can. man can either think
2:16 pm
or feel it does sound too good to be true if they start enforcing their own policies no matter how vaguely we'll stop hearing about the best country in the world the freest country in the world the greatest country in the world if they were feliz i'm proud of my mexican ancestry but i also am proud of my american nationality how do i balance these 2 things super simple celebrate cinco de mayo because you are proud of your mexican heritage believe that it is mexico's independence day because you have american ness and. let's be honest you true overlords didn't update their rules to take down america is great videos but given that the rules are now so ambiguous they can be used to take down anything what challenge even remove the political controversial video stand there i say it
2:17 pm
anything and she is stablish went. to the head of the un. mission in kosovo said that both can we gins authorities are failing to cooperate properly with an investigation into recent raids on ethnic serbian territory by costs have been special police known during the operation which officials in the disputed territory say was designed to break up a smuggling ring a u.n. employee was arrested and beaten before being released so let's say get some more on this cross to kill up and kill up as you well know politics in this particular region of northern cost of have been strained for some time to say the least what was spoken up by today well at this point we saw the u.n. security council convene to discuss the attacks on u.n. staffers that recently took place this took place in kosovo when the police were
2:18 pm
raiding serbian populated regions now at this point it's been widely understood that kosovo authorities are not really cooperating with the united nations in their investigation and we've heard from the head of the u.n. mission in kosovo. he's basically saying that the mission immunity was violated this is what he said that it had been immunity. for members. to be. united to these students. was also. seen. and. really been lows and. now the tensions flared up on may 28th at that point the police in kosovo were cracking down on suspected members of organized crime and they were operating mainly in the northern parts of the region to carry out their crackdown now from
2:19 pm
what we understand a 19 people were detained people were injured and one u.n. mission staffer actually had his brought to his job broken he was beaten up and i had a broken cheekbone and upper jaw and in addition to that there was another un staffer who was a kosovar serbs and he was injured during the police raid now the 1st un staffer who was a russian national was then taken to belgrade for treatment at that point unrecognized kosovo government declared this individual had hindered a special police operation and at this point he was declared persona non grata and his diplomatic status was revoked and at this point we have kosovo politicians who are calling for the u.n. mission to leave kosovo saying it has no purpose this is what one voice in kosovo has said while we are deeply grateful to unmake for the vital role that it has
2:20 pm
played in the 1st of our liberation we simply do not see any teasin for its continued presence in our thriving republic. i make is not the peacekeeping mission because kosovo law enforcement mechanisms and key for guarantee the safety and security of our people now the u.n. mission in kosovo oversees the free flow of civilians from serbia into kosovo and vice versa and it's there to basically make sure the situation doesn't degenerate or deescalate or escalate into a new war or any new conflict there to kind of keep the peace now at this point we've heard from the deputy permanent representative of russia he spoke at the u.n. security council meeting and he said we believe that those actions were intentional they were meant to provoke and they were demonstrative now all members or all of the majority of the members of the security council called for hostilities to see sand as the meeting concluded it was pretty clear that the international community
2:21 pm
has its eye on the situation there as tensions are rising in the aftermath of the may 28th incident needless to say a story will be closely following kill it thank you. 2 people have been killed during mass umpty government protests in the caribbean nation of haiti thousands of people turned out in the capital port au prince on sunday to demand the president step over an alleged corruption scandal protesters burned tires and threw stones at the police who opened fire in return roads were also blocked off forcing many shops to close the demonstrators say they will continue until their demands are met. the current haitian president johnson almost say is facing numerous ickes ations of misconduct corruption as well one of the key elevations against him and one which has cause widespread anger and is not he was involved in the misappropriation of around $2000000000.00 from an aid program most
2:22 pm
say enjoys strong support from the u.s. under earlier in the year met with donald trump to discuss business and development in the country which according to the world bank is the purpose in the americas. well let's discuss some of these issues now with the editor of the weekly newspaper haiti liberte kim ives came welcome just in the protests themselves 1st company actually achieve anything do you think considering the vote really been going on for months. well haiti has in the past become ungovernable happened 33 years ago under john club. there were demonstrations which were happening all over the country and people just had had enough of the devaluate dictatorship a lot is happening now with the p h t k that's the haitian baldheaded party which
2:23 pm
job now in the. representative of his predecessor michel martelly founded it and those boats are both those men are deeply implicated now in this presidential caribbean a. corruption scandal the most recent report that you mentioned may 31st by the. c.s.c. a found that he had basically double billed. the government for about $2002000000.00 to repair a road which they never did any work on so this is it's only about one percent of the total. expenditures of that country korea bay account and that was the projects but it's indicative of the type of corruption that was going on with that money and people have just had enough they want to mount it talking about big
2:24 pm
figures washington and can seemingly pledge to help haiti develop financial opportunities in the carbon could that have any bearing on the current protests what do you think happens next with that. well washington has always had a lot of talk venezuela we saw actually walked the walk they provided haiti with 4 point. $3000000000.00 worth of oil revenue and he got to keep about 40 percent of it in this account which is called the petro caribbean account so washington for years has offered things through the i.m.f. through the world bank through opaque overseas private investment corporation as they're doing now but all these monies are usually. filled with conditions have lots of strings attached and really during the last 50 years that
2:25 pm
this neoliberal regime has been in place the country has just gotten poorer and poorer so there's just as you say a can of very close ally being paid by a washington so why do you think more attention to this protest movement is not being given at least publicly by the top administration. well the thing is they need to shelve an elmo wheeze government for their campaign against the venezuelan government of maduro which they're trying to bring down and also the cuban government but 1st they're aiming at them adorable government. basically has been. supporting the tomorrow until january 10th of this year at which point they voted against. government in the oas vote and ever since washington has sent a constant stream of officials to the country to try to prop it up and save it but . i think it's too little too late the. government is completely discredited and i
2:26 pm
think even washington may see that now that milly's joven elmo is mortally wounded i think we're seeing a very per country in the region has financial backing from the us helped in any way to alleviate poverty in haiti no not at all on the contrary it's been the opposite after the 2010 earthquake haiti received about $13000000000.00 worth of funds but most of this money went right back to the countries who gave it. mean an example is the bill and hillary clinton backed. park. 3 free trade zone in the north which is a sweatshop part and you know. promises of that have not materialized certainly not provided the 302-503-0000 jobs they said it would so the money provided over these years has often been just to suck out more wealth
2:27 pm
from the country than to actually raise up the people of haiti someone who has deep experience in in haiti in the region and there are warnings that this could lead to what we're seeing on the streets today to a humanitarian crisis they're not messing around with the language here why do you think then we aren't seeing real international action or aid being sent in for instance. oh well i think the humanitarian. crisis is really code they used to bring in their troops they did in haiti in 2004 they engineered a coup against the duly elected president of time john bertrand aristide and then they brought in peacekeeping troops. u.s. france and canada for 3 months later they handed it off to the united nations basically because those soldiers from sri lanka. pakistan and cetera cost about half the price that it cost us troops on the ground so right now that mission is
2:28 pm
supposed to end the last of the peacekeepers in the latest version called are supposed to leave in a couple of months so i think they may be using this sort of code language humanitarian crisis the same way that using in venezuela to try to continue the foreign military occupation of the country ken thanks very much for your time this hour can live as editor of the weekly newspaper haiti liberte life on the program. ok i want to bring you some breaking news coming into us on the program from the u.s. where a helicopter has crashed landed on the roof of a high rise office building in new york. city authorities have issued an emergency notification just by the way as you can see there these are live pictures right now in new york they are saying the surrounding area will be
