just in. the list of those people you've got to do the folks here. in a new report. across the u.s. . russian business executives that. request the washington. industry. secrets. is. next. in line with. the

enemy. and. the world this is your r t international my names you know about them to the program. a newly released report a conservative watchdog alleges there is a covert multi-million dollar strategy to promote liberal values in the u.s. the document. of course certain topics from supporting obamacare to. border wall. takes 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 see 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 others 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 protegees pockets. democrats according to this research a group called arabella advisors little sleep 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 the term 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

it led to this. war for again. well their financial bad bone is made up by bills coming from a nother arabella advisor 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 and 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 crawley part voting populace the 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 too. there is anger at rush's embassy in the united states after a russian executive was the taint in its early washington's request he's been charged with suspected industrial espionage against an american aviation company alexander question off is a director now take a russian engine manufacturer and has claimed he can spy or to steal trade secrets with an italian director at g.e. aviation both men were arrested. in naples in southern italy so let's now take a look at what exactly the men are accused of conspiring trying to steal intellectual property belonging to aviation relating to craft engines production the u.s. justice department say's question off hired start from the company as technical consultants those employees then allegedly filed a report containing sensitive details blossom or putin's head that the u.s.

over the arrest saying it threatens to worsen 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. the united states has made similar moves before arresting foreign citizens in a 3rd country the chief financial officer of chinese tank shell and huawei was arrested in canada in december over break for washington's request well we have been getting reaction from global politics analysts about the ramifications of all . this is obviously. i think all major powers now realize that 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 and the common ministration and it is more interested in seeking and bunty it is position rather and engaging in economic co-operation and the expansion of stray investment and so on it emphasizes the fact that high tech is a serious problem for the united states for china for russia for every country now because everyone is trying to gain actually has 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 had been who they're accused of stealing their high tech secrets. ok to another over a headline stories washington seems to be improving its relationship with the latin american nation that borders venezuela it's launched a so-called humanitarian i preach program led by the earth force there that provides some services to look. but also conducts training for military personnel the move is seen near bring venezuela encircled by american bases just months after the u.s. backed opposition fail to achieve regime change in caracas our senior correspondent murat density 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 the 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 that israel or that the u.s. has threatened repeatedly or 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 quickly 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 promises 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 news 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 or for the faint of heart. part one gets the impression that there are more u.s. troops surrounding 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 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 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. oil amid the ongoing trade war between the united states and china many battle lines have been drawn many boundaries set a former fox news host is being accused of colluding with the enemy after her line of pick 3 arts yoga gear which she sees sells for american values was going to be

made in china. absolutely we don't want to be into religion 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 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 one of them and 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 and that's what this whole line is about that's going to box of those ballots and not going to support and spread for a long time for the. very soon.

we'll wait to see what comes of. allegations flying about some of the world's largest oil companies are spending fortunes paid big money to undermine projects targeting climate change issues more in the us we breakdown in the months after the break. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. some want to be preached. to the right to be crooks it's like the 3 of them all can't be good. i'm interested always in the why

is it. seemed wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to say proud just being educated and engaged me equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

ok i want to start with a startling figure 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 trucker. climate activists insist large companies government should come up with proper initiatives to tackle the problem it does seem some experts proposals are pretty radical take a look. but

the top of the pile may no fish. the 2015 climate agreement it was ratified by 185 states and measures countries should take to limit global warming but most of the signatories have failed to live up to the commitments are quarter to the issue with expert. 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 the effect on the ice sheets capitalism is have 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 2000 and i 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 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 again is. not one who now is agent to make change it means the government probably. need to make massive changes to make this happen we've got ourselves into a situation scientists and then well i'm about to. and this isn't going to be something that we can just make it quite that. way. it's scary to be a long haul was this is sight. she was less consumes definitely we get we think a lot of economy and that is not how they 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 anathema 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 they did it in the 1960 s. and 1970 s. by by going for nuclear power why worry is that i don't think people are ready to cut their energy use worldwide since 970 we've seen worldwide energy use increased dramatically and. 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 to provide alternative sources because i just don't think people are ready to cut energy use

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 he would be and it will now be those crazy people on mars we now know that most of the stars in the sky all betrayed by retinues of planets just as the sun is orbited by the earth and hells of many planets and we certainly know that many of those planets are going to be rather
