on. the mountains of bullies only grow. influence a new reports alleges there is a multi $1000000.00 scheme to boost the popularity busy of the left across the u.s. . top russian business executives is the change in the request of washington over alleged industry s.p.n. . to steal american tech secret. military exercises in south america next to venice we all wait in line with the current strategy of surrounding the enemy. tactic isn't anything new.

just after 11 am in toronto at 10 pm in 6 in the evening here in moscow this friday september the 6th welcome wherever you are to r.t. international our top story a newly released report by a conservative watchdog alleges there's a multimillion dollar strategy to promote liberal values in the u.s. the document on musk a scheme to push certain topics from supporting obamacare to slamming transporter wall art. has been taking a closer look at just 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. 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 others have made billions and want to ensure that 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 proteges pockets. democrats according to this research a group called arabella advisors little feat has been in the vanguard of the leftist money holes they 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 and bring in from short list yes they get their pockets stuffed by 1633rd an offshoot of our bell advisors another group save my care has been pushing against republican attempts to repeal obamacare the president is sabotaging the system. will be another uncertainty in health care.

remember this did lead to this. we won't forget. well their financial bad bone is made up by bills coming from a nother arabella advisors 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 part declining viewership both the editorial in the production staff is chiefly in the anchors are chiefly democrats or democrat leaning so of course out of the mainstream media you're going to get that narrative

reality is the independents and the rising anti-corruption anti-crime any part voting populace in united states is against the use of dark body is against the use of corruptly having foundations the 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 donating money so next time you see a nonprofit ban are 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. there is rush's embassy in the united states after a russian executive was the tamed in its lee washington's request he's being charged with suspected industrial espionage against an american aviation company like zander question off is a director of the russian engine manufacturer it's claimed he conspired to steal trade secrets with an italian director of g.e. aviation both men were arrested in naples in southern italy well let's go over to another screen here and take a look at what exactly the men are accused of conspiring and trying to steal intellectual property belonging to g. relating to aircraft engines production now the u.s. justice department says question of hired stuff from the company as technical consultants those employees then allegedly filed

a report containing sensitive details vladimir putin out of the u.s. over the arrest saying it threatens to wash in relations even further. this is very bad practice it complicates our bilateral relations and i'm not joking we often see no reason for hostile actions of this kind moreover i have every reason to believe that sometimes these actions are connected with unfair competition including in the aerospace industry if there is some kind of criminal activity here then it's our law enforcement agencies that should cooperate. with the united states has made similar moves before arresting foreign citizens in a 3rd country the chief financial officer of chinese huawei was arrested in kelowna in december of a fraud at washington's request but we've been getting reaction from global politics analysts about the ramifications of this. this is obviously.

i think all major. powers now realized competition for technological superiority in the future will be so will almost be decisive in major power competition the united states certainly adopts the and america 1st strategy under common ministration and it is more interested in seeking an advantage is position rather and engaging in economic co-operation and the expense and not stray investment and so on it emphasizes the fact that high tech is a serious problem for the no stage for china for russia for every country now because everyone is trying to gain actually is to every other country's high tech and there's a tremendous competition going on and therefore the americans are saying right

warning everyone you want prayer price if you in fact state our secrets but from the american board of view it's quite difficult for them to prosecute someone. in a 3rd country or gain access to the person who have been who they're accused of stealing their high tech secrets. ok to another story we are closely following washington seems to be improving its relationship with. the lotzen american nation that borders venice wheeler it has launched the so-called humanitarian i to reach program led by the earth force there that provides some services to locals but also conducts training for military personnel the move has seen neighboring if ennis will encircled by american bases just months after the u.s. backed opposition feel to achieve regime change in caracas our senior correspondent murat because the 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 in the same venezuela that has u.s. bases all around it here here here here brazil is in tin that it's open to hosting a u.s. military base a mile then israel is like the center of a do none of us bases the same venezuela that the us 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 great 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 the psychological pressure that matters the promise is easier when the guys you are 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 no way to check a chewing gum wrapper without hitting the u.s. marine on the nose which come to think of it they could well uses 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 for the faint of heart one gets the impression that there are more u.s. troops around in china. then 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 locations 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 $160.00 countries absalom sort of military presence in 84 percent of the countries on this planet and yet not enough they just need more crave more. the ongoing trade war between the united states and china many battle lines are being drawn and boundaries and now a former fox news host is being accused of colluding with the enemy after her line

of patriot your gear which she say stands for american values was found to be made . in china. absolutely we don't want to be into diligence 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 out there running them out of business so 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 our phone in it really doesn't matter it's about freedom it's about the bill of rights it's about constitutional freedoms and that's what this whole line is about that's what i like so i was about and talking to support as friends for a long time for the.

new. allegations flying about some of the world's largest oil companies are spending fortunes to undermine projects targeting climate change issues that is just one of the many stories we hope for the spring. most of western germany that steve globalization and this came in with thompson

2016 said he the idea of monitor ization the global central banks cooperating to put out a currency unit of account that was better than gold is a 6070 year experiment that is down collapsing which is leading to dollars a synaesthete countries like russia move aggressively away from the dollar and buy gold and globalization simultaneously. join me every week on the alex song i'm sure and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm sure. i'll see you.

right let's start with the quote something i just gigantic figure $50000000000.00 stop is what some of the world's biggest oil corporations of spent on projects that undermine climate goals according to a report by financial think tank carbon tracker and while climate activists insist large companies government should come up with proper initiatives to tackle the problem it seems some experts proposals are pretty radical.

wall trumps all of the main no fish is the 25th climate agreement it was ratified by 185 states and measures countries should take to limit global warming but. fail to live up to the commitments double quarter of the scuffs the issue with a puddle of expert. the 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 know about the feedback loops we've known about they'll be 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 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. 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 certainly 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 the extension and the extinction barely end is. not what i want now is agent to make change it means the government. is going to make massive changes to make this happen we've got ourselves into a situation sine he said that woman about it and this isn't going to be something that we can just make it quick that it's. it's going to be a long haul was this is sight less consumes less consumes differently we get we think a lot of economy and that is not made at 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 and 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 970 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 combat 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 cut energy use with too addicted to our our lifestyles. ok let's go check out some stories making headlines around the world starting in this southern african country of zimbabwe robert. zimbabwe's former president has died at the age of 95 he led the country for 37 years until he was forced to resign in 2017 in parts of africa he was were known as a fighter for freedom being among the founders of a free zimbabwe however in the international community galbi became notorious for a brutal human rights abuses corruption and running a barbaric dictatorship. in russia's far east hundreds of emergency workers have been taking part in ongoing rescue operations severe flooding continues to hit the area surrounding the river and the region heavy rains have fall and there from early august more than $100.00 residential buildings remain underwater things are

improving there but only slowly the weather service. 3 years old struggling against widespread reform more than 60 social organizations took us against the chilean government on thursday the plan demonstration in santiago was against what the groups have called slipping education standards and also social workers write the authorities in the capital use tear gas and other tactics to disperse the put. a glimpse of space on a quick plug as well for one of our shows on earth today is there life on mars british cosmologist and astronomer royal martin rees talks to sophie shevardnadze about the possibility of living organisms there are future missions to the red light we could have that provides a decent life for all the 7000000000 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. and of course they would be ill adapted. to that habitats and so they would be the people who would have the incentive. at 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 the birds from 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 health of

many 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 are both the life. intriguing or connect stuff a growing lifestyle choice in the west the child free movement stay tuned for that and i'll be here with all your global news headlines in just over 30 minutes.

well you know the fire thing we've kind of adopted because we were called pirates for so long. i mean they're into smaller boats next to the harp on ships and it's going. to be a lot tougher than. the limo self to be told fish already 90 percent of the dot and it won't be calmer. to contemplate if teams coops $75.00 tons to run out and they do it several times a day with the big fleets and now you get an idea of why the ocean is all. we have to understand we cannot stay still and just. be within this the deal going to the hours. i'm doing this because i want them for the future world to the future generations to have and enjoy the ocean we have.

the duty to get a good dentist and bad debt it's the bad news in yemen the united states deems to be a threat the looked at those who work in syria the cia and the u.s. military were engaged in covert actions really throughout the world. where they were assassinating populist leaders they were backing up right away military windows funding an army of death squads there's no phones anymore because there's always a small income for a really good this is a profit. so she's dressed in

a long bow to show that the bush wasn't at the ball of butchered up there was. a sharp question was to you she then taste the fish that is she's a cia which hogwash. which is you don't know what you. can and must answer future or world to me or to share. what you thought of the show to promote your bunch for should be a preview. of the mystery was a word support of our deal with them torture spittle or fishing to be a valuable piece that it's a studio actually of course in the bushwackers of evil or should still be in spill .

this is. one of the most important issues if not the most important issue that humanity needs to be talking about. and we had nobody wants to target that it because everybody's scared to talk about it everybody knows that. you know an emotional issue and such a personal you know subject. and people are scared so people just don't talk about it and it's sad that. in our species survival is truly dependent on us addressing this issue and if we can even talk about it if we can anyone have a conversation about it then. we're in trouble. when i was studying biology at the university of california in san diego i had

a bio chemistry professor that one day came into class and told all the students to close their books and said we're not going to talk about biochemistry today we're going to watch a film about population and i was probably about 20 years old and i remember just being completely devastated by what i learned in that film and i walked across the entire campus talking to my professor about human population and i really decided on that day that i didn't want to contribute to our rapidly growing population really every environmental issue that we face ocean acidification and climate change habitat destruction pollution species extinction loss of biodiversity the collapse of ecosystems all of these things are accelerated by our rapidly growing population growing up i never really was planning towards having kids but i think

somewhere in my mind i always thought i was going to have kids that i was going to find a wife get married and having kids when i 1st met lonnie she kind of told me that having kids wasn't something that she was really that interested him you know i thought that's fine i'm good not having kids and 10 years later 14 years later you know to me it was one of the biggest decisions that we've made no regrets really really happy to be childfree by choice raising a child can be stressful so from from our standpoint i think another one of the possible in our relationship we get to spend more time connecting with each other and i think that that's you know for us it's really important a relationship i don't know necessarily that one relationship or one style relationship is going to be good or the other because i think there's you know some people that have kids and that is their whole life and that actually brings people closer together but they have the same.
