so the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. cancel the state visit to denmark calling remarks by its prime minister nasty she had rejected his offer to buy greenland adding the proposal was absurd. offer this our aid organization oxfam lashes out at g 7 countries ahead of their summit this weekend it accuses their policies of driving global and equality. equality how to bridge to increased pay for the last year. the wealth of the british billionaires was growing bald the poor stuff a society could feel it. and not quite as easy as it looks our correspondent takes to the skies with russia's elite aerobatics team before the max air show. the value

of the for. what they get paid what something like. yeah. but that way. your watch you aren't international coming to and from the russian capital where it's just turned 5 pm welcome to the program. u.s. president donald trump claims he cancelled his state visit to denmark over the nasty remarks of the country's prime minister he had offered to buy greenland which is a danish dependent territory but the offer was quickly rebuffed. prime minister's statement that it was absurd that was that it was that absurd idea was that the daughter was inappropriate statement well she had to do is say no we wouldn't be address that you're not sure. it's an absolute discussion and to prime minister of greenland has

of course made it clear that greenland is not for sale and that's where the conversation and. don't say what it absurd idea that is because he's not talking to me. he's not to appear to me you know if you did the united states of america you don't go off to the united states that way at least under me. denmark's queen who would have posted trump express shock at his abrupt cancellation brylin is the world's largest island and it has plenty of resources but trumps idea to buy it is not entirely new as they are trying to reports poor queen of denmark it just happened to be that way you know the way that part of her land is the world's biggest oil and greenland just to the northeast of america and that it's donald trump who's in charge at the white house right now how about the u.s. grain land all of it and i guess we 1st as

a people like he was joking said can we buy greenland and he was joking and then kept coming back to the danish prime minister would not sell him greenland coal and the idea absurd we must face the truth that our president is raving like a lunatic you can check out some of the trump greenland means if you haven't seen them but now everyone who giggled at donald trump adding the island to his shopping wishlist have realized his being absolutely serious just so you know the president's idea is an old 1150 years old in fact. i have heretofore expressed the opinion that we should purchase iceland and greenland but especially the latter the reasons are political and commercial now the acquisition of greenland will flank british america for thousands of miles on the north and west and greatly increase her inducements peacefully and cheerfully to become a part of the american union but the actual proposal didn't come until just after

the end of world war 2 that was when the state department officials once again outlined the benefits. the committee indicates that money is plentiful now that greenland is completely worthless to denmark the control of greenland is indispensable to the safety of the united states and so washington offered denmark $100000000.00 in gold bullion for the island copenhagen's answer was no well we have much to america i do not feel that we have been the whole island of greenland although the us shouldn't really have been disappointed because of what happened next in just a couple of years denmark joined nato plus not only gave up attempts to get rid of the us military on the island it allowed the pentagon to set up america's northernmost air base there here where the temperature has dropped to below 0 and winds rose to 150 miles an hour give you force bright sun is abruptly succeeded by dense fog or blinding snow american ingenuity and daring have built

a new post in this country is due them. based on the top of the world that documentary was even nominated for the cademy awards by the way anyway since the pentagon can still pretty much treat greenland as its own backyard there isn't much for the u.s. administration to worry about their radars are out there in a perfect position to track intercontinental ballistic missiles and satellites and low earth orbit before they reach the skies of mainland u.s. or wait china is always something to worry about even if we're talking arctic beijing's already made an attempt to buy the former american base on the island and try to secure a contract to build a new airport there for now the chinese were shown the door but now what the white house man really stirring things up around greenland we could be in force in very odd twists in the story. poor queen of denmark meanwhile i'm here by

iceland the country's leader said she will skip a visit of the u.s. vice president mike pence next month saying she has park commitments to speak at a trade union conference in swindon. the fact is i was long ago i asked to give the keynote speech at the annual conference of nordic trade unions bassus visit which was organized by the minister of foreign affairs has been rescheduled many times so it's been hard to organize oneself around it she made a point though of saying it had nothing to do with trump's cancellation of a state visit to denmark and that it was not about snubbing the white house mike pence is expected to discuss iceland strategic position in the arctic and increase nato operations in the region the u.s. plans to invest $57000000.00 in the military naval base there next year erica bergman who is a professor of politics at bifrost university in iceland thinks the prime minister isn't too upset about missing the meeting. current prime minister advised them to stop opposite ends of the political spectrum to trump's ministration might feel

not unhappy. come to class but seems to be occurring there's clearly a difference of opinion between the park your car to get up so to get an irishman's old propose to military operations. preserve in the arctic. what it's an administration so clearly there are there are right your differences between the 2 are. anti-war activists have revealed the extent of british arms contracts with a saudi led coalition operating in yemen artist paul flair explains. well the latest figures from the campaign against arms trade reveal that the u.k. government granted export licenses to the tune of some 6200000000 pounds over a period of 4 years since the saudi led coalition began its strikes in yemen back

in march 2015 there's no public data however over whether or not the license holders exported the goods in their entirety or half or none but essentially what it does show is the same is the amount that they were entitled to export the government doesn't really want to know how those weapons are being used as weapons are being used in a way that violates international humanitarian law and of course it would have to act the man would have to stop was serials or every do know from a huge body of evidence from united nations that. international order most respectable n.g.o.s in the world people in the ground in yemen they have all infused saidee led coalition or rich in violations going to merge with humanitarian law and that means destruction of schools means destruction of hospitals news the destruction of all this is a terrible humanitarian crisis that's only possible because of the complicity in support of arms exporting governments such as the campaign against arms trade says

that the total amount is likely to be higher because many of the weapons and ammunitions that were used by members of the saudi led coalition in fact were licensed by a separate body for which there is no public datta now back in june of this year the court of appeal ruled that the u.k. government had acted unlawfully when it granted licenses of a u.k. made weapons to members of the saudi led coalition without 1st checking if they use it in the past had led to britches of international law the government was ordered not to approve new licenses and also to review those that it had already given and it was agreed that the government would not allow new sales of weapons to the 5 participating members. of the saudi led coalition in yemen now the british government denies this and it has rejected these allegations outright the u.k. operates one of the most robust export control regimes in the world licensing

decisions are based on the most up to date information and analysis available at the time including advice from those with diplomatic and military expertise and reports from overseas network and n.g.o.s the saudi bombing in yemen began back in 2015 and has resulted in what the united nations cause the worst humanitarian disaster ever. the campaign against arms trade is highly critical of the role that the u.k. has played and once a to review its future participation. restaurants shops and other businesses are

closing their doors near the french resort of berets ahead of the g. 7 summit more than 13000 police officers have been deployed to the area although organizers say this year's event will be run on a much tighter budget than previous ones. you know parliament voted for a budget of 36400000 viewers for the organization of the g. 7 summit and this figure is much lower than we have seen for previous summits whether in canada or easily. meanwhile g 7 countries have been blamed for aggravating inequality around the world by oxfam earlier i spoke to john date he's the head of government relations for the international aid organization but was the oxfam report on the g 7 summits based on. so 7 leaders including my new mccrone who's hosting the summit decided to make inequality a key focus of this year's g 7 and we think this is really important because the

world bank kind of and others have recognized that tackling inequality is absolutely essential in order to beat extreme poverty. report looked at the record of g 7 countries in tackling inequality and we found actually in a number of areas countries are fueling rather than reducing inequality for instance by not implementing progressive tax systems by fueling the climate crisis and also by promoting a shareholder 1st business model that doesn't suit the needs of workers and many people in developing countries on a low income. the report highlights wealth inequality across g 7 countries in the us for example the poorest half of the population own just one percent of the country's wealth john day again once the g 7 to take action. why do you think the g. 7 don't work properly what are the main problems more widespread as well. so we think one of the kind of major barriers is how wealth is distributed between

people across the world and in g 7 countries so that the 7 biggest economies in the g 7 hold nearly half the world's wealth and actually if g 7 leaders implemented a new tax a new wealth tax where they to tax the top one percent of richest people in g 7 countries an additional not point 5 percent on their wealth then it could raise $200000000000.00 pounds a year now that's a huge sum of money that's enough to educate the $262000000.00 children across the world who are currently not in school and also you to have enough money left over to put money into health care and to fund. enough health care to save the lives of 2000000 people oxfam accuses the g 7 of having tax systems that favor the rich and says the wealthy drive government policy the charity and the g 7 care more about shareholders than workers and warns the group of nations is worsening the climate

crisis. the g. 7 has existed for quite a long time are these problems that the report has highlighted something new or were they there from the beginning we know that inequality has existed for for a number of years but actually under a lot of measures inequality is increasing. so oxfam's own research found. that inequality hard to reach increased over the last the last year and actually the wealth of the richest billionaires was growing while the wealth of the poorest half of society had fallen do you think that this oxfam report will have any impact on this upcoming g. 7 summit we hope that the g 7 leaders will take it seriously as you know it was a menu mccrone himself and g 7 leaders who decided to make inequality a focus of the g 7 so what we're doing is providing some ideas to how they might tackle inequality and help reduce poverty through tackling inequality. a

major air show gets underway near moscow next week marks 2019 i had about the artes down quarter got the chance to take to the skies with one of the aerobatic teams. the russian team is preparing for an international aviation and space this is a major air show that's going to take place to be end of august and there's going to be there ted and pilots from countries all over the globe the pilots are going to be showing off their bets and that's a bad and we were lucky enough to get invited to a plane to join one of those pilots so i hope you're not afraid of.

them. after we returned in one piece our pilot constantine told us all about the international aviation and space so long. i have been training for more than 10

years and i've been in the pilot for 4 years the air show include the mock featuring aerobatics performance and the standard maneuvers championships rolls and loops etc the international tournament features competitors from. many european countries and none european countries including the us the airshow is not a contest the contest happens at the championship with the aerobatics and other events so when the air show each group shows a skilless and this big data is decide for themselves what they like of course we will show what we do best and what's new here global news update continues after this short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i

don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. going back to medieval days the church which is like the monetarist present day 21st century where they would discuss how many angels can dance on the head of a pin they were in power and they enclosed this. model and now we've got neo feudalism or you guys central bankers discussing how many derivatives can be stuffed into a worthless pension fund and we've got folks in san francisco in newark new jersey dying for medieval diseases.

welcome back in germany a syrian asylum seeker has been found guilty of manslaughter and a killing that sparked race riots in the city of kenneth's last year the man was sentenced to 9 and a half years in jail across life now to peter all over and berlin for more peter take us through the case. yes a court in dresden has on thursday sentenced 23 year old high to 9 a half years in prison for manslaughter that's for his role in the stabbing death of 35 year old daniel healy who was stabbed in the center of. on it following an evening at what was say a folk festival a a local festival that was taking place there. the main suspect in the killing of mr haley still is at large he's believed to be a 22 year old iraqi man who is understood by authorities to no longer be in the

country it is unlikely though that this verdict and the sentence will bring any arrests by to the citizens of kemet the the death of mr healy the stopping of him sparked huge riots across town it's sort through a lot of media attention at times some very ugly scenes we saw some footage of the purported members of the far right chasing refugees and migrants we also saw a large groups of people from neo nazi organizations marching through the town and resulting in clashes between them and people from anti fascist organizations it did draw the attention of the world's media and following the initial week of rioting which at times police were far from in control of what we saw was a series of concerts in large demonstrations under the hash tag of what we are more included a rock concert in chemist's also

a huge demonstration that took place here in but despite those efforts to try and bring communities together it's in the political sphere that it's probably the most evident that we've seen a switch in attitudes following the stabbing in chemist's we saw at a local city election just earlier this year where. 18 percent of people voted for alternative for germany the anti immigrant party they came 2nd that's not such a surprise in the east of germany but what is more surprising was the fact that 80 percent of people voted for the chemist's party who are very strong links to neo nazi organizations they now have 60 seats in the city government there was also potentially a big impact on statewide elections in saxony we're seeing alternative for germany there polling at around quarter. polling around 25 percent of the population and really if we look at it on a national level the effect that this had there was

a real change in support for parties that were promoting a immigrant stance in the 2017 into the end of summer 2018 so it has had a huge knock on effect of course not only for the family that lost 35 year old member of it but also for the city at large and the whole area the state of saxony itself they say the killing and the subsequent riots really had a big effect artie's put all of our bringing us the latest thank you. and one of the reasons dollar trump is waging his trade war with china is his promise to voters to revive american industries like the steel sector but fight flopping heavy tariffs on imports some companies are still struggling artists and reports on the swing state of michigan. michigan the traditional home of the auto industry is a big chunk of what's referred to as the rust belt of the american heartland

recently the industrial state has been economically declining as many u.s. factories have closed their doors hundreds of workers at the great lakes facility will be getting a temporary layoff according to what has just been filed by the u.s. steel corporation is anticipated that the total number of layoffs will be less than 200 these adjustments that use the current market conditions and recent reductions in customer demand for the pons products last year donald trump opposed to 25 percent tariff on foreign steel imports saying it would help make america great again we're going to build our steel. tariffs seemed to have the opposite of the desired effect the price of the stock of u.s. steel has decreased by 73 percent for trump who is looking to get reelected in 2020 this is not a small matter michigan which had previously gone for obama was key in sending him to the oval office he knew how to tap into the resentment of residents of michigan who've seen their state decline over decades of dnd us to realize ation and decay

furthermore hillary clinton almost ignored the state of michigan during the 2016 campaign why is secretary clinton going to michigan today isn't that sort of considered you know one of the pillars of the infamous blue wall wife then time there rather # than you know one of the places that's more of a swing plus as secretary of state hillary clinton oversaw the sale of high tech battery firms to china this cost lots of industrial jobs donald trump said that he would do the opposite and for michigan we will bring back your automobile production and we will bring back your industry when bill clinton was in office he signed the north american free trade agreement some argue that resulted in losing 168000 jobs in michigan the obama administration didn't help things much the rate of poverty into. troi has increased from 33 percent to 40 percent at this point

southeastern michigan has the highest rate of concentrated poverty of any part of the united states and the region is rapidly depopulating with a 2020 elections looming candidates should really take this state in to consider ration and not just in pre-election campaign promises but when they get into office as well kaleb mop and r.t. new york economics professor richard walk away if people are waking up to the fact that trump won't deliver on all of his promises. if you impose a tariff and if the chinese as they have done respond with a tyrus that is going to hurt the american companies that used to sell to china i don't think anyone is surprised that mr trump's promises that this kind of job and being in the united states would stop turns out to be a promise he can deliver and i think it will hurt his image in the united states

because it more and more people are confronted with the difference between what he promises and what he can deliver the underlying economic reality is driving people to recognize that mr trump was just a republican version a bit more extreme perhaps but not fundamentally different from all of the others that's a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook for up to the minute reports. why a paradise with some ground turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these

chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. in this community there are people who believe that it's ok. it's really hard there are no jobs and you see that i've got kids that ask and as

a parent. i can come up with a logical argument and there's a lot of conflict within the game and between the teams most of the conflict i would say overall is around money and most of that money is made. close one on each other. each other is good business the state of california alone makes 6000000000 dollars a year off to prison complex just to get some point in your life where. you don't care and cares about your so your care might anything. i'm max kaiser this is the kaiser report hey did you know that kaiser report on espanyol the you tube channel gets more views than rachel maddow now

that's right oh. stacy actually i want to signal ahead of time that we're going to be doing some journeying south of the border we're going to be in argentina and uruguay brazil and a little bit in colombia in december. and will be filming down there you know argentina's currency just collapsed by over 25 percent in one day just last week and we're going to follow up on that we're going to report from the scene and find out there and early next year we're going to go to mexico city and we're also going to be in guatemala so we're doing our whole tour of latin america that's going to be exciting maybe do some special side interviews coast into the you tube channel for our spanish speaking audience loves us to death. has led us well maybe not to death i don't you know in mexico that's not go there and the thing is you know of course that the mexicans and colombians and argentineans and earth lions they all

kind of have their own dialect way of saying something so it's going to be very confusing for you but nevertheless we're going to stay here in america for these headlines in this episode of kaiser report human tragedy on the diseased streets of san francisco worse than slums in brazil and india of course you could tell you know we were recently in san francisco talking about our shadows and we did walk across the city well n.b.c. news has done a study and actually spent some time go through 153 blocks of san francisco and what they found was pretty appalling the n.b.c. bay area investigative unit surveyed a section of downtown san francisco to determine the amount of feces hypodermic needles and garbage littering the heart of the city the results reveal a disgusting and potentially deadly mix of contamination that experts now believe could.
