ready money influence a new report alleges there's a. $1000000.00. across the u.s. . for leads to day. from . so what we're a process today a u.s. military exercises next to venice we. are instructed. to me we. run the world.

live from moscow to the world this is artsy international pleasure to have your company this hour my names you know only our top story a newly released report by a conservative watchdog alleges there is a covert multi-million dollar strategy to promote liberal values in the u.s. the document on. certain topics from supporting obamacare to. border wall. takes a closer look at how it operates. what's more powerful in politics than money a strong candidate with a good program and idealist would say nothing a realist would say but a politician would say dark money dark money is the millions of dollars that behind the scenes donors are spending to send the political train down the track and according to the left leaning media it's a bad bad thing because the conservatives do it because brothers have made billions

and want to ensure their government doesn't limit their ability to make more conservative donor david koch as one half of the koch brothers came to symbolize the influence of dark money in america but you know who's even better than conservatives that slipping the bills into their prodigy's pockets democrats according to this research a group called arabella advisors a little theme has been in the vanguard of the leftist money holds the shelter under their umbrella for nonprofit organizations by their nature they do not have to disclose who they're getting their money from but this research suggests that they've gathered a huge number of very wealthy donors some of the nation's largest grant making institutions including the rockefeller packard and koch foundations the donors to the funds managed by arabella it remains unclear why such large and powerful

institutions seek outside philanthropic consulting but presumably a significant part of our bill is appeal lies in its ability to obscure large financial transactions these for nonprofits have been showering and to conservative grassroots organizations with their money take this one with a name so noble calling our goal is to oppose in the interim short list yes they get their pockets stuffed by 1633rd an offshoot of bellow divisors another group. save my care has been pushing against republican attempts to repeal obamacare the president is sabotaging the system 28 will be another uncertainty in health care. remember this it led to this. we won't forget. well their financial backbone is made up by bills coming from

a nother arabella advisers sprout the new venture fund the dark money is not a trick exclusively from the democratic playbook yes it's been revealed they do outperform the conservatives when it comes to the amount spent by more than 20 percent in fact but pro republican donors do that too and according to the research media coverage is way out of balance with most outlets reserving a good bashing for the conservatives when you look at the mainstream media which has deservedly declining pop declining viewership both the editorial in the production staff is chiefly and the anchors are chiefly democrats or democrat leaning so of course out of the mainstream media you're going to get that that narrative reality is the independents and the rising anti-corruption anti-crime only part voting populace the united states is against the use of dark funny is

against the use of corruptly having foundations reality is that a lot of money comes in from unions from particularly from the public sector unions to their favorite politicians both legally and i think illegally but there has been a rise now of dark money and dark money is bad whether it's right or left leaning i mean the public has a right to know that each individual's vote counts and that it can't be swamped by the activities of partisan. groups that are illegally sourcing and. on any money so next time you see a nonprofit banner stirring up a fight for yet another democratic staple remember regardless of what side of the political spectrum would comes from it's not just people but billionaires fortunes behind it to. ok to another story we're closely following today a wave of deadly attacks the looting in south africa sparked

a boycott against the country led by celebrities across the continent the violence has targeted migrants from other african states who have flocked to one of the continent's most developed nations reporting from johannesburg here's paula slayers . was was. was i. was the violence was triggered last week in the country's capital petrolia when a south african texas driver was a latest to have been killed by a nigerian drug dealer now as part of a protest against a south african texan drivers took to the streets but city soon that protest evolved into a demonstration against all foreign is inspired to add the same to around the

country and the result has been violence hundreds of foreigners have been days to shoot off to the businesses were attacked the police were forced to use white control mss such as tear gas and rubber bullets and the situation is still rather unstable now because of the nationality of that alleged drug dealer being nigerian a lot of the focus has actually been on nigerians now south africa has temporarily closed its diplomatic missions in a boucher and lagos in nigeria for fear of reprisals against it stops south african businesses have also closed their doors temporarily in nigeria and the south african foreign minister has said that this is an embarrassment for south africa and she has expressed with great violence against foreigners nigeria has pulled out of the african economic summit being held in south africa and the nigerian foreign minister has also expressed concern. received signon and depressing news of continued burn an illusion of nigeria shops and premises in south africa by

mindless criminals within a fact of police protection enough is enough we will take definitive measures the last time there was a xenophobia all break like this in south africa was back in 2008 but this is a country where you. have an unemployment of 29 a saint which means a very often the distress of people who don't have jobs turns against foreign is often instead of actually being directed against the government and its lack of delivery the 2011 same says is the last official senses in terms of how many foreigners are in this country in the pits the figure of 2000000 dead at the waist and it suggests the figure is closer to 5000000 out of a population of 56000000 who have the south african president has also expressed alarm over what is happening saying that there's no place in a phobia in south africa now i'd like to condemn the violence that has been spreading around a number of provinces in our country in the strongest. i've been talking to

a lot of foreigners here in south africa who are very afraid of what is happening there is a lot of fake news that's been spreading on social media with pictures that are not actually even south african showing people being burned people jumping out of buildings with the caption foreign is it leaves south africa's so we are in the process of verifying another the media along with the experts but the situation certainly is dire at the moment. washington seems to be improving its relationship with the south american country that borders this week that it has launched a so-called humanitarian program led by the were forced out while providing some services to locals also conducts training for military personnel then this will where the u.s. bucked opposition leader failed to achieve regime change earlier in the year is already encircled by american bases from every other side our senior correspondent morocco's day of examines washington's tactics. the u.s.

military has returned to guyana after many years on a joint military exercise slash humanitarian mission there's nothing quite like a humanitarian mission led by guys who specialize in bombing things it's like having a drug rehab center run by drug lords but small details the important thing is that guyana is important to you on a sits in a strategic location on the north edge of south america and on the caribbean and do look what a coincidence it borders venezuela i mean what are the chances of that the same venezuela that has u.s. bases all around it here here here here brazil is in thing that it's open to hosting a u.s. military base a mile and israel is like the center of a do nothing of u.s. bases same venezuela that the u.s. has threatened repeatedly where it is trying to spark regime change and which it is

encircled with guns just in case trump decides to pull the trigger it's a regime that frankly could be toppled very complete by the military or the military. you'd think entirely surrounding nations you don't like might be a bit overkill but it's the pressure psychological pressure that matters the promise is easier when the guys you're negotiating with always have something to fear specifically about their country being burned down if they say the wrong thing and it isn't just venezuela i mean look at iran as nowhere to chuck a chewing gum wrapper without hitting the u.s. marine on the news which come to think of it they could well use is an excuse to invade iran a few months ago trump even sent more troops to the region just in case they left an empty spot at which iran could through a chewing gum wrapper and china or for the faint of heart. one gets the impression

that there are more u.s. troops around in china than there are u.s. troops left in the united states but don't have the map for you for america that isn't enough the us needs to develop alternative operating the cations the pentagon will continue to develop new concepts build a distributed and resilient force posture and field new capabilities to counter these threats honestly the drug metaphor seems remarkably apt the pentagon recently boasted that it has luke asians in more than 160 countries after some sort of military presence in 84 percent of the countries on this planet and yet not enough they just need more crave more. amid the ongoing trade war between the united states and china many battle lines

have been drawn and bond reset a former fox news host is being accused of colluding with the enemy after her line of patriot here which she say stands for american values was found to be made in china. absolutely we don't want to be in tune to the chinese we don't want to be this servants. and again someone needs to make trying out playing fair of the ongoing discussions about russia russia russia what we really should be looking at is china they're running them out of business they can buy cheap foreign beef the american consumer deserves better. whether or not they're going to put it down in that we're not going to put their phone in it really doesn't matter it's about freedom it's about the bill of rights it's about constitutional freedoms that's what this whole line is about that's what a lot sometimes about and talking to support on this brand for

a long time for. me . is the bottom falling out of both deal who we don't see. flowing about some of the world's largest oil companies are spending fortunes to. projects targeting climate change issues we will delve deeper into that and about 90 seconds. you know world's big partners. and conspirators it's time.

to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than 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 truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. and gemini that. this came in with trump in 2016 that he the idea of monitor ization the global central banks cooperating to put out a currency unit of accounts that was better than gold is a 6070 year experiment that is now collapsing which is leading to dollars a synaesthete countries like russia move aggressively away from the dollar and buy

gold and did globalization simultaneously. 60 minutes into the program welcome back some of the world's biggest oil corporations have spent $50000000000.00 on projects that undermine climate goals according to a report by financial think tank carbon tracker on while climate activists insist large companies and governments should come up with proper initiatives to tackle the problem it appears some experts proposals are pretty radical.

but really what it all stems dial into the main official initiative is the 2015 powers climate if we meant it was rather followed by a 185 states citing measures that country should take to limit global warming but most of the signatories have feel to live up to their commitments or quarter discuss the issue with a pile of experts. hours of cold was not legally binding there was no reason for anyone to stick to it they can do what they like and they've carried on doing what they've like. i'm afraid we're in the grip of

a series of systems which are putting profit before everything they're going to wring the last drop of profit out of all the old world industries such as the fossil fuel industries we've known about this problem we've known about c o 2 we've known about me thing we've known about the feedback loops we've known about the effect on the ice sheets capitalism has had plenty of time to solve this problem but i'm afraid it hasn't dealt with it so we have to start dealing with capitalism and the only way we're going to do that is by taking radical action on the streets i've been on the streets myself with extinction rebellion and the people come up to us and they're with us you know the u.k. for example there was a lot of activism. in the last 20 years and running up to 2008 went to law school the climate change act that was supposed to deal with the problem and hold the government and all future governments to hold their feet to the fire in terms of doing what's required. and that was the result of lots of different you know

different environmental groups and you know hundreds of thousands of people marching repeatedly so i think you know we have seen change but it's just nowhere near enough to tackle the crisis at scale do you as a climate scientist feel that the activists play a serious role in the in the development of towards a solution for climate change problem when extension of the extinction barry end is now. are they not one organization to make change it means the government and the public and they need to make massive changes to make this happen we've got ourselves into this situation. they're warning about decades and this isn't going to be something that we can just make it quick and it will go away it's scary the a long haul if we don't was this is sight less consumes less consumes differently we get we think a lot of economy and that is not their night that without some impacts

i think that people the public and politicians are quite aware of the drastic changes we need to start reducing our carbon emissions and one of the things that i think we need to consider which is nothing more to many people in the green movement is that we we increase our use of nuclear and i know many in the green movement don't like this but really the only country that ever successfully decarbonise to. put is france and did it in the 1960 s. and 1970 s. by by going for nuclear power why why worry is there i don't think people are ready to cut their energy use worldwide since 970 we've seen worldwide energy use increased dramatically. that we're not going to be able to persuade people to reduce their energy use and one of the only ways i think we're going to combine

climate change is to to for both renewables are nuclear is to provide alternative sources because i just don't think people are ready to to cut energy use wood to addicted to our our lifestyles some stories in freefall from across the globe starting in the southern african country of zimbabwe robert mugabe in zimbabwe is former president has died at the age of 95 he led the country for 37. in years until he was forced to resign in 2017 in parts of africa he was a fighter for freedom who was among the founders of a free zimbabwe however in the international community became notorious for brutal human rights abuses corruption and running a barbaric dictatorship. in russia's 4 east hundreds of emergency workers have been taking part in ongoing rescue operations severe flooding continues to hit the area surrounding the river in the. region heavy rains have fall in there since early

august pretty much more than $100.00 residential buildings from maine on the water things are improving but only slowly say the weather service. and let's bring in to argentina to where an austerity program and cuts in social benefits in the country triggered yet more protests in the capital demonstrators camped out overnight to set fires are social development ministry in buenos aires political instability house worsened economic uncertainty in argentina following a presidential primary last month but saw gains for the country's opposition leaders. write a glimpse of space a quick plug for one of our shows coming up later today is there life on mars bruce cosmologist and astronomer royal martin rees speaks with. say about the possibility of living organisms there on future missions to the red planet. we could have

a world that provides a decent life for all the 7 and a half 1000000000 people in it and at the moment we have a couple of 1000000000 in abject poverty and some people immensely wealthy and the fact that the richest 2000 people in the world have the resources to double the income of the bottom 1000000000 in the world and this is not happening is an ethical indictment i do think that by the end of a century there will be a few while the crazy adventurers who may be living away from the on mass and of course they would be ill adapted to that habitat and so they will be the people who will have the incentive. and the opportunity because their way through the regulators to enhance themselves and adapt themselves so i think if we imagine some species emerging which is different from who would be it will. those crazy people on mars we now know that most of the stars in the sky orbit should by

retinues of planets just as the sun is orbited by the earth and 1000000 planets and we certainly know that many of those planets are going to be rather like the earth in terms of temperature and sides. and so there. goes the life or. or. or or. or. yeah i can avoid. absolutely intriguing conversation i need to watch it in full in just over an hour's time here on. it just ahead here though in the program it's a very watching the hawks with detained immigrants and diet sodas on the agenda we are crossing to washington in moments.

i know what you. can invest. for sure. it's a mistake. but you both. actually the person to be. still the same speed.

after almost 2 decades of war an occupation american military involvement in afghanistan appears to be winding down i deal with the taliban will see majority of american troops leave while still allowing a sizable contingent to remain just what exactly is washington's geopolitical interest to be in afghanistan. ever. during the great depression. to remember that it was most of the family were working. there wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hope. there isn't today today's america was shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy

attacks. engineer elections manufacture consent and other principle according to. one set of rules for the rich opposite several from. that's what happens when you put her into the. narrow sector of wealth which will is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america.

it's.

a very well know can see you what's innocence not. greetings and sal you taishi see if recent history has taught us one thing here in the united states is that with every great national tragedy comes an equally great panicked and dangerous blunder that most often scars us deeper than the original tragedy and world war 2 after the tragedy of pearl harbor we responded with japanese internment camps in the aftermath of $911.00 we elevated the privacy rights shredding patriot act and now it appears that another great american

political blunder of epic and dangerous proportions may once again be on the horizon and it's called harv yes harper no it's not a brand new weather manipulation station in alaska hard by actually stands for health advanced research projects agency and according to the washington post it's the one solution to the mass shooting up a demick that allegedly trump has reacted very positively to harper made into reality would be a brand new agency modeled after darpa except rather than create the robots and drone swarms harpo's main focus would be to reportedly collecting volunteer data from a suite of smart devices including apple watches amazon echo and google homes in order to identify nero behavioral signs of someone he did toward a violent explosive act only collect volunteer data you say just like how they said the n.s.a. would never collect information on u.s. citizens or how enhanced interrogation is not torture and how the concentration of

immigrants being held against their will.
