it watching our 2 international bring you in your life news update from our studio here and most welcome to the program we start with breaking news this hour as russian officials have announced they are dropping a criminal case against russian investigative journalist north who had been arrested for the illegal possession of drugs the evidence gathered against him was said to have been salmon and found invalid the officers who were in charge of the case have been suspended the journalist attention provoked anger and protests were not joined live by more i've got to for more on this now the case had provoked outrage among the media community did anyone expect this latest twist. you know the wood that this was coming the outpouring of support for him was it was unanimous it was everywhere we had protests and in moscow we had russia's 3 biggest newspapers.

published the same title. with him basically. it was solidarity like never before this is a journalist working from a doozer i would say an opposition outlet that does a lot of investigative work and his arrest really shocked the journalist community but was so surprising was that it wasn't just the journalists community it was the public the public came out in support of him there were protests outside the ministry of interior. outside police stations and eventually they seem to bow to pressure either vattel or in actuality as the saying. he had there's no evidence to tie him to sort of any drug trade. according to the results or forensic biological fingerprint and genetic testing we made a decision to stop the criminal prosecution of event go in of due to the lack of

evidence of his participation in a crime today he'll be released from house arrest the charges are dropped. more than that there was controversy about his arrest allegedly he was hit by a policeman on the head he went to hospital for that though doctors said that there was nothing nothing to do about that. a minor injury if that he was later released he alleges that the drugs he was found with. little packets of powder that those were planted on him on his figure by police for whatever reason. there were other drugs apparently found in his apartment as well the scales for measuring drugs supposedly but he was he was eventually released and the police in charge the investigators sorry in charge of his arrest who organized the whole thing they've now been suspended. they're being investigated and. perhaps.

abuse of power maybe you know this was some sort of sort of internal internal for. a few that maybe there was a problem that they had with him whatever it is this this case is going to be you know it's going to go on for a while until those responsible. punished and punished seriously. if bringing us the latest on this breaking news thank you. a scandal has erupted in brazil after leaked messages suggest a corruption case against the country's former president well it was politically motivated. the messages published by investigative news site the intercept appear to show a judge discussing the probe with prosecutors supporters of wood to say the least confirms their fears the case was a stitch up designed to prevent him from winning reelection last year the probe was

part of brazil's biggest anti-corruption crusade known as operation car wash which saw dozens of high level politicians imprisoned. what was sentenced to almost a decade behind bars for corruption and money laundering including for accepting a luxury apartment and exchange for state contracts he denies ever owning it however and the weeks messages suggest prosecutors themselves question the strength of the evidence against him one of the journalists behind the revelations said they made sure the messages were genuine. me we waited and waited for a response from the prosecutors for them to prove that the messages went genuine that's one very cautious and scrupulous checking that the rest it's easy when you work with explosive material like this you need to be absolutely certain that what you publish is true the prosecutors and the judge haven't publicly expressed doubts about the messages they know they're genuine as do we. the leaks have also led to accusations that the judge gave biased advice to the prosecutors with more details

here scaled up and. lula da silva who served as president of brazil from 2003 until 2010 is still wildly popular in the country brazilians associate him with good economic times when living standards were rising now a newly leaked conversation sheds some light on why he is serving a 12 year prison sentence for corruption it turns out that his trial the judge and the prosecutor were in cahoots these are some of the private conversations that took place during the trial with judge mauro seemingly instructing the prosecutor about how to proceed with the case. hasn't it been a long time without an operation you cannot make that kind of mistake now the thing called with a that's a good idea and a prosecutor asking the judge for advice what do you think of these crazy statements from the workers' party national board should with fish to rebut well into silver has long maintained his innocence he says the entire case was a set up he has named names. on how to political life and all of

a sudden i was convicted for money laundering and organized crime it was all a law i settled on when i was by the federal police the public prosecutor's office someone more a who took on the investigation with more i didn't need any proof of crimes committed because they all had a plan in mind the plan was to paint the workers' party is a criminal organization with a criminal boss who happens to be me well it seems the new leaks show that little the decision was right here is an extract where the judge is seemingly directing the prosecutor and the prosecutor himself isn't moving his case is weak. so listen for me that the contact person is annoyed at having to be nice to see dr property transfer deeds for one of the x. president's children apparently the person would be willing to provide information and therefore posturing it's along the source is serious they will say that they were accusing bay's a newspaper articles and for gyal evidence and here is what makes it even more

scandalous lloyd to silva's imprisonment is what prevented him from running for president last year and take a look at the polls to silva had a pretty solid lead so then also narrow who won the election after his main opponent was blocked from running actually promoted judge morrow after he took office i salute said gary moore the only man in brazil who's proving that we can do politics differently now the judge seems to think he didn't do anything wrong he says that the real crime is that these conversations have been made public it is regrettable that the person responsible for the criminal hacking of the prosecutor's cell phones has not be. identified as the source there is no sign of any abnormality or providing directions as a magistrate despite information being taken out of context and the sensationalism of the articles known as acquittal so those accusations published by the intercept are not true and their origin is linked to a criminal hack even though i don't acknowledge the trustworthiness of the messages

realized that they can create some discomfort for some people who are deeply sorry about that the leaks telegram conversations give the impression that to silver was railroaded in order to keep him off the ballot and there's more to come from me and we are continuing our work on the case as we said these are just off 1st reports we have a lot of information we have analyzed i think only one percent of the conversations we will publish materials from these messages. parts of the mainstream media and the syrian opposition are mourning a controversial figure or branding a rebel icon who died in a battle against syrian government forces in homs province that's according to his rebel faction the fighters are all in syria's uprising was the subject of an award winning documentary a goalkeeper for the country's youth football team and he gained prominence for staging street protests against president assad and singing songs praising the revolution some of those songs though hold value is that seem to go completely against those of western countries fighting islamic state in the country artie's

double court quarter explains a warning his report contains scenes of an execution. he became the poster boy of the syrian uprising or shall we say the voice ringback. oh my. god. and his death in battle against government forces apparently made him a fallen hero in the eyes of the media syrian football and singer of revolution killed in conflict. syrian soccer goalie who became rebel i can dies in battle syrian soccer star symbol of free vault dies after battle. that also route was a former syrian footballer who turned rebel fighter and not just any rebel fighter

oh no he became an icon of the fight against bashar al assad so he wasn't shying away from speaking the truth here's one of the so-called singer of the revolutions greatest hits judge for yourself. and. perhaps the lyrics don't exactly communicate the artist's intended message that's all right though also it was much more articulate about his political beliefs in this 2014 interview that our vision of what we do blame islamic state. but that blame comes with love because we know that these 2 groups and not politicized and have the same goals as us they are working for god and they care about islam and muslims no you didn't hear that wrong the same goals as islamic state and apparently 911 was

a great accomplishment to. i. was good you. know. there are those in the media who acknowledge it's problematic characteristics but for them a little elbow rubbing with terrorist groups shouldn't stand between him and his rightful page in the history books. some individuals celebrated as heroes make you doubt all stories of heroes in history books others like abdul basset also root not inspire of but despite his flaws make those stories highly plausible he's a true legend and his story is well documented may his soul rest in peace so if these guys got an oscar.

abdul deserves a grammy no less as in other. covert western operations it becomes important to to maintain this sense of plausible deniability it's clearly been useful for for the us and the us media to maintain. this whole idea of there being moderate democratic forces among the rebels in syria but clearly most of the groups fighting the government were really extreme islamist groups that's the reality and these were the groups that the cia and and its allies its british and french and saudi and qatari and turkish allies were supporting and arming from the very early stages of this conflict. the u.s.

secretary of state is facing accusations of meddling in british democracy that's after my pompei i said he would push back if you k. opposition leader jeremy corbyn became prime minister. it could be the mr corbyn manages to run the gauntlet and get elected it is possible you should know we won't wait for him to do those things to begin to push back we will do our level best is too risky and too important and too hard once it's already happened. a recording of those remarks made to jewish leaders was leaked to the washington post. has more uncle sam wants you to know that special relationship could end up on the trash heap if it doesn't like the choices that us brits make the us secretary of state mike pompei o has pledged he won't wait for jeremy corbyn to become prime minister to start the pushback against any actions that his administration might take

against british jews while those views come amidst a backdrop of anti sematic allegations in the labor party what the u.s. is perhaps really concerned about is that a cauldron government might try and distance itself from the u.s. and pursue a more radical policy when it comes to countries like venezuela corbin the call me is hardly who washington sees itself in bed with by airing those thoughts behind closed doors perhaps pompei it was being a little bit more tactful than his own boss who spent last week trumpeting his support for boris johnson or jeremy hunt as the next defacto prime minister worse i like your my i've liked him for a long time he's i think you do a very good job boris and trump are definitely a good fit both have shocking blond hair and were born in the u.s.

making boris if he wins the tory leader ship brace an american slash british prime minister but is it really fair for washington to blatantly push its weight behind one or 2 candidates over another of course it's not the 1st time that this has happened or lower. i'm mike pence the vice president of the united states the united states supports the courageous decision by juan gado the president of your national assembly to assert that body's constitutional powers declare madeira or your syrup or and call for the establishment of a transitional government the ikeda is hardly venezuela yet when it comes to what the us wants it doesn't seem to matter how independent a country is or how robust its democratic systems are what the u.s. wants in a special relationship is one where it pulls all the strings so all the. london

. international affairs commentator donovan still believes pump arrow is interfering in british politics it's one thing to criticize say you disagree with another government's policy that's legitimate under international diplomacy to actually take action to try and reverse policies. is beginning to become interference works you said which is really sinister is she said we should begin to push back against actions taken by jamie colby will pushing back is more than criticism it implies that she's going to intervene if physically in british politics and possibly undermine it called in that they have a government it's not a typical slope don't tell you how to meit was that he's trying to organise it would be trying to organize a coup against the british government or put sanctions on the british government or some other way to try and put pressure between that goes beyond verbal criticism

that we don't reveal exactly what he has in mind he just uses that word push back it's action he's talking about last. christmas u.k. mobile phone companies press the government to make a final decision on why is involvement in the country the details on that after the short break. seemed wrong role just don't call. me. yet to shape our disdain you can stick adjectives and engage with 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 confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only loosely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. welcome back mobile phone networks in the u.k. are calling on the government to clarify its stance on war way that's according to the b.b.c. which says it's obtained a draft letter from industry leaders the british cabinet secretary there apparently

concerned whether or not the chinese tech giant will be allowed to supply the new 5 g. network or boycott reports. there are concerns over the lack of clarity on walk away they've asked for an urgent meeting with the government in order to discuss those concerns essentially there's a sense that they've been left sort of hanging over the government's indecision over whether or not to greenlights the use of huawei technology in the rollout of the 5 g. network care in the u.k. so as a result these industry bosses khant invest in vital infrastructure going forward for the government they've stressed the importance of security above all else take a lesson the security and resilience of the key still to come snap works is of paramount importance we have robust procedures in place to manage to national security and are committed to the highest possible security standards while the industry has questions for the government over

a while away the government's got questions to walk away and it was actually wow a cyber security officer who was. was giving on says in front of a committee of m.p.'s publicly yesterday and the politicians repeatedly asked him about wild ways alleged links to the chinese states and about alleged human rights abuses as well and his repeated was that while way works within the framework of the nor should we do business with a company that is complicit in human rights abuses you should listen business with all companies that stick to the little there's a little sign there isn't that just. there was a lot of law in nazi germany some laws are good little some was a bad move was some company to tell the press if one party states nothing to communist china doesn't that put you single week i'm sure who it would be.

your company we're here is our chief organ remember your son should. be in service to the german government during research and we will. see our planes a different picture and of course there are strong arguments on both sides on the one hand you've got the us pressuring the u.k. to reject qual way technology saying that it presents a danger to national security and on the other hand there's the opinion that in measured doses only on certain parts of the 5 g. network using rahway can be perfectly safe and moreover is actually vital for the future of britain as sort of a front runner in the lead technologically and so far this debate has been very political but now we're seeing industry step in and say actually we need clarity on what happens with wall way political economy professor jack ross the says the u.s.

china trade war will decide who gains technological dominance. this attack. on all of the chinese companies are actually here is really about this big fight between the u.s. and china over who's going to dominate technology in the next decade the u.s. trade war is really about chinese technology the trade war is beginning to slide into an economic war as the u.s. goes globally to try to wean its allies away from any kind of economic relationships with china it's kind of an absurd comment because you know our g. for a good product was designed to kill people whereas you know holloway's product is designed for people to communicate i don't know how you kill people with with with the phone network you can take somebody by association you say i mean you know you don't say that huawei kills people but by associating them with a company that whose products did do that you know you make it sound like well

you're guilty by association staying with that trade war donald trump has issued an ultimatum to his chinese counterpart xi jinping urging him to come to the upcoming g 20 summit if he doesn't the u.s. president is threatening to impose another 300000000000 dollars worth of trade tariffs president she doesn't come it will that mean that the tariffs on china for the additional $300000000000.00 in goods go on immediately yes it would and i think he will go and i think we're scheduled to have a meeting. that comes amid a trade war between washington and beijing last month trying to raise tariffs on $200000000000.00 of chinese goods to 25 percent beijing retaliated with hikes on a revised list of u.s. products china's response hearted more than 5000 votes and came into force on june the 1st beijing insists it does not want tension with the u.s. but will respond to white house actions. when we found out more you china does not want to trade war which we are not afraid of one if the us is willing to negotiate

on an equal footing our door will be open if the us insists on escalating trade frictions we will fight to the finish in the meantime trump is scrambling for advice on sunday he called former u.s. president jimmy carter to switch diplomatic recognition of china from taipei to beijing and 979 carter says trump fears the country's economy is pulling far ahead of america china economy expert beijing benjamin chao believes trump will need to pick another approach if you hopes to have a deal with china. i think at the end. one to give. last minute pressure you know to negotiate it could do with china. but china the chinese system does not work like that. it nation distresses corman and china was you know there to face

us at 2 when china economy was 100 times more though so i do not see that china is going to back out any time soon the chinese not going back to the negotiating negotiation table again. and with a quick wrap up of our breaking news this hour russian officials have announced they are dropping a criminal case against russian investigative journalist yvonne go a lot of the evidence gathered against him was said to have been we examined and found invalid the officers who were in charge of the case have been suspended and the journalist attention provoked anger and protests you can watch the online broadcast from outside the main russian interior ministry department from our video agency roughly we'll have the latest on that and your global news update at the top of the hour.

so you say that brings us to the end of the series we couldn't just let josie marino walk away so we decided to treat a star host to a very special farewell party. but this time to go back to the time slot thanks for putting body. with. the only thing i didn't enjoy was my. eyes in. my. eyes.

well thankfully we nailed it literally there we go. i am max kaiser this is the kaiser reported now inconvenient truth time we've never been off the gold standard people say we left the gold standard but in fact central banks clear all their. failings with gold. and now after this period of experimentation with the purely run currency and currencies of the globe various countries are recognizing that it's all nonsense you need to go

back to pure gold standard as asian stacie well gold has always been there and we have not found a way to destroy it and throw it into the sun and destroy the truth telling that it does for for the past 40 years 40 plus years we've tried to remove ourselves from a gold standard and we pretend it doesn't exist and we pretend that we're able through our central banks and our masters of our universe and the most elite brilliant nobel prize winning economist like paul krugman that we know better than the markets we know better than the ordinary consumer we know better than the ordinary investor and that's failed because gold is always telling the truth and the reason why gold works is because it's trust us you don't have to trust that. somebody is printing up a whole bunch of money and this was articulated this week by the prime minister of malaysia dr m currency backed by gold prime minister dr mahathir mohamad says

malaysia is proposing a new currency based on gold as this would be more stable than the current currency trading which is manipulative he said the precious metal could be used to evaluate import and export activities among east asian countries quote we can make settlements using that new currency using gold that currency must relate to the local currency as the exchange rate and that is something that can be related to the performance of that country that way we know how much we owe and how much we have to pay in the special currency of east asia he's saying like this is for the trade region of east asia he wants a gold backed unit of account for trade so that we know for real what we're getting and who's cheating and who's not cheating so any way you can tell if you're making any money exporting and importing is if you have a yardstick or a benchmark. to apply your economics and you are sick has always been go.
