mark you. talk with both sides testing ballistic weapons in the days leading up to the. president declares a state of emergency as the country is gripped by a violent nationwide protest fuel prices. president. i think rudy is seeing the same thing happened to the south american countries we keep seeing.

the world news this hour welcome to the program north korea negotiators have arrived in sweden to resume nuclear talks with the united states comes just a few days off the. successfully tested. western capitals. the secretary had a call was japanese minister of defense co know where they discussed north korea they both agree that the north korea tests are unnecessarily provocative and do not set the stage for diplomacy in that north korea should cease these tests north korea says its missile is capable of being launched from a submarine indicating a major expansion of its weapons capabilities and some analysts are calling this the most significant test since the country 1st began dialogue with washington in 2018 but just a few hours later the u.s. in order to its own test firing an intercontinental ballistic missile over the pacific they say financial security purposes correspondent. washington's

justification. north korea and the united states are headed back to the negotiating table this weekend says president trump we'll see they want to talk to will be talking to him who will say so we can all just relax and anticipate one step closer to world peace right well no a missile was launched on wednesday the u.s. state department burned with outrage we call on north korea to refrain from provocations abide by their obligations under un security council resolutions and remain in gauged in substantive and sustained negotiations to do their part to ensure peace and stability on the korean peninsula and as you do nuclear is ation now to prove their point about peace and stability the united states launched an intercontinental ballistic missile from the coast of california on the exact same day but they say it is not a provocative move according to the pentagon brass it's all about peace and

security this visible message of national security. interests when a potential aggressor so let's recap shall we this is the pug 3 it's endangering the stability and peace of the entire region and this is the minuteman 3 i.c.b.m. it's just making the world a safer and happier place in august the united states once again conducted military drills in south korea rehearsing for an all out war against the north but they say it's nothing provocative about it simply a measure of security north korea didn't see it that way into korean concerns will be difficult unless the put an end to military exercise will give a plausible explanation in a sincere manner that is worth mentioning these drills were scaled down a bit compared to the ones done in the past we are working very hard to make sure that it is not perceived as provocative to go as far as to modify even the name of the exercise and to modify the scenario to take out all the offensive characteristics it's all about perception if we do it it's understandable for

security purposes think of the i.c.c. . b.m. is a jolly little kite bringing joy but if they view it it's a provocation putting the entire region into danger yes it's one sided attitudes like that that are sure to bring peace on earth they fired off an i.c.b.m. missile. you know like 4200 miles to the marshall islands this wasn't a small underground or underwater test so the u.s. is. wants to be able to behave one way as a military might with its military might around the world and have other countries do the opposite and so unfortunately we are left with these types of instances where very few people question the power of the military of the united states very few people question why the united states is testing the nuclear deterrent if you

will. i could off the president has declared a national emergency following a wave of violent protests over the decision to end feel subsidies the move came into effect on thursday is expected to cause the price of petrol and diesel there to double work at the transport sector launched a national strike of response with taxi bus and truck drivers blocking roads in major cities students and indigenous groups also join the protests helping to paralyze prove transport works in the capital demonstrators clashed with riot police who responded with tear gas and make hundreds of arrests despite the term although president eleanor a no has said that there is no chance that the 40 year old subsidies scheme will be reinstituted. that there is no possibility of changing those things related to the perverse subsidies they were causing so much harm to the countries they were distorting the economy but above all else allow for important national resources to fall into the wrong hands to try to ensure the safety of our citizens and avoid

chaos i have declared a national state of emergency in. the ecuadorian government scrapped the fuel subsidies in order to meet targets agreed with the international monetary fund as part of a bailout deal signed in march ecuador's agreed to slash public spending it now intends to reduce its deficit from $3600000000.00 to under $1000000000.00 by 2020 right look at the impact of all those 7 joined by economists gonzalo they are welcome to the program so whether there were any other options in a few minutes but do you think the ecuador's leaders have woefully misjudged the public mood on this. i think they said you know words was going on and was going to happen in the future because they got very reasoned reference in the 8 in the 1977 . different religion i am and was keeping with different countries and then the i.m.f. is given i could into a country is under certain conditions on the agents means they they control the

economy they're going to go policies of the country so i believe what we watching right now is something. cause for the. by this also we have seen in the past in different countries. there just as wrong from the i.m.f. whether any other options to the ecuadorian government have did it have to slash the subsidies where else could it have trade and spending. well i think what's going to happen the options they've got in generally we must. make a problem and actually i believe it's not exactly what what we are listening in general right i am i am f. because if we can see that there that the weather is getting is actually lower than other countries in the. world where there is less than 50 percent of the other and if we construct the numbers we. all kind of the u.s. will see that actually in a good condition it will situation right now even unemployment rate and whether

it's around 5.2 percent and if we contrast that number with another economies in the region again is not too bad so in my opinion what the weather is doing is probably just taking some measures that other countries like to lead to can the 7 basically if we follow what the government is an intern on the on the media they're going to be nation of the subsidies to the oil basically going to rise the transportation cost and we know that that's going to produce. the cost of produce going to increase and that's inflation basically so we know the english are going to be there. some of the start of the way this was just handled i can't imagine any population in any country being happy about fuel prices doubling because something like that affects everybody at every step of society doesn't it should this have been phased in is this just been botched in the way it's been handled. so it's actually a reaction to we're going to be so so certain implications on these measures just like i say inflation going to be there but also if we follow more or less what the

men should be going to increase everything for retirement and that means that basically they want to they can increase their labor force so that means that the employment rates ball is going to rise in the coming months and what i believe. if we consider that with. the. reduced of our readers to import that means basically i believe is the big trick of them if because if they reduce their. means like they're going to get really increase of the foreign and business you know whether i think that they would. increase the business from all the combine is probably from us. so in the future we're probably going to see a rich country whether with more services and goods by the in general terms we're also going to see the cost of. going to be. like rest of the countries in the region because when i want to be overly pessimistic about this gets the subsidy was

costing more than a $1000000000.00 to the ecuadorian government but equally this isn't going to be good for inflation and could potentially slow the economy down if you're doubling something like fuel which as i said affects every structure of society in the economy and industry. for sure i really believe that. the goal of what they are really following this try to open the economy affect whether just to make the. ecuadorian people in the future but not get access to different kind of private services that they've got. they don't have it at the moment but the thing is what's the cost of this kind of rescue gratian of the economy anything. like i don't know like like i say the symbol of chile in the seventy's and then my government jangan destructor and opened their markets which basically is the main advice that i am at least given we're going to give to you longs we're going to give you only. under certain conditions then they're doing that we know they're going crazy inflation we know they've been increasing employment rate at the moment but in theory yes in

theory in the coming years they're going to receive broadly for any investment in the rio they're going to receive another company is going to start to set up a new business in so very well that of the future going to be an economy similar like the us economy or mexican economy let's say but obviously with the high like i say we because of this region is going to be there because it's basically the other and all the economies got it right now and certainly in the short term a lot of anger on the street to really appreciate you sharing your expertise with this economist gonzalo can attain a number thanks for that. max the british army has caused offense among members of one of the minority groups that it was trying to attract tweeted the black history month is now being expanded to include asian people to. take up a story. there are some battles you can't when just ask the british army no i'm not talking about iraq or afghanistan even the faster war i'm talking about the fight

to win over the hearts and minds of an every citizen of diverse old blighty black history month has kicked off in the u.k. this week in the british army to tell if you keep its finger on the pulse has dedicated the next 30 days not just to black people but to all the asians who have served in its ranks still haven't got over that claim. we missed a trick here we didn't explain that black history month has expanded to include the history of asian people and their contribution to hence recognition of our historic partnership with the indian army but in the minefield of political hypersensitivity the initiative might just be a flop it's been slammed by the very communities it was supposed to ingratiate herself with and less these asians a black i don't want to see it to be honest there are 12 months in a year black history month took up one month of the 12 but they wanted to be black

asian and minority ethnic moms w.t.f. because another months and make that asian history month i'm sure a lot of asians will appreciate it come on don't be stupid it's bloody black history month why is that you can criticize the army for its lack of manners for the move a very small point for the british so thank goodness for the good old delete button because the tweet in question was removed not before had fired up the haters of course and even the odd lonely voice of support the contribution of sikh hindu and muslim communities can't be ignored if they consider themselves politically black than they are i can't even pretend to know what politically black is but i can tell you what black history month is initiated violence across the pond. the us decided to give off a month every year you know to repent for all those centuries of slavery and segregation and it's part of a growing trend of affirmative action that might just be backfiring take world

famous harvard university for example turns out it's got racial quotas to ensure a dive us community something that didn't go down too well with a group of asian americans who filed a lawsuit saying they were being penalized in favor of their fellow black applicants despite having far better entrants schools and indeed multiple studies have shown that if the university based its admissions process just on academic factors what a bizarre notion asians make up over 40 percent of harvard's classes that's more than twice its current figures. the coolest conclusion the harvard has shown that its admissions program serves its compelling interest in diversity but assume racial categorizations are necessary to serve those interests and while the court might have backed hard at this time it's opened a can of worms an increasingly divisive issue a found to action lifeline that its heyday is over so there's a huge amount of marketing executives only sort of social media advisers you know

in places like the british army if you're completely detached from reality and society and that sort of started to use only social awareness and things like where is your mom just for marketing and this entire social awareness kind of you know progressive stuff should probably let the people who are actually experiencing racism probably let to look older people who are actually there on the streets parents in these things rather than you know. who are sort of defining and sort of deciding their. i think that by providing a lower standard for a certain race of people and a higher standard for a different race of people certainly 1st of all creates a lot of conflict between different races of people that would not have existed otherwise but i think it also demotivates. certain people you know who probably would have been more motivated to go out and do so based off of their hard work an absolute which now they're not being rewarded for and i think that it

provides unfair advantages soon we're going to run out of months and seeing any action one takes to place one minority were aggravate and not that you've got to admit it's tough out there on the front line of political correctness. this is out to sea marches have been held in lima in support of peru's embattled president who has taken radical steps this week to lift the country out of its year long political crisis we'll get out of that for you after the break. when i was so small seemed wrong all right all wrong just don't call. me baby yet to say proud these days to come to educate and gain from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look

for common ground. most people think just stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest race in truth to stand out of the news business you just need as the right questions and demand the right answers. questions. welcome back to peruse the political turmoil now the president there is appointed

a new cabinet and we're prepared to govern without opposition until elections this coming january it comes after martin that's current took the dramatic step of dissolving parliament earlier in the week in order to break the impasse over his anticorruption drive all his opponents have described the move as unconstitutional there's been a groundswell of popular support for him in lima as artie's nicolas sanchez o'donovan now reports. these protesters took to the streets of lima to say this is a full president martinelli starwars decision to dissolve congress earlier this week the president and the opposition led congress have been tied up in the battle with widespread corruption at its poll actually martin discoverer has seen most of the anti craft reforms be improved by congress and many they say that this is because lawmakers have been protected and same party politicians and

businessmen that have ties to corruption this specially to the brazilian construction company the bridge that has allegedly spent millions of dollars in bribes here in peru as we've heard many here support the president but others demand general elections and they say the peru needs fresh air i mean the president martin discovers appointed * a new cabinet with many new ministers as well it's going to be a few difficult months for them and but the truth is that until we have a new sit in congress in peru the president is going to have to govern through presidential decree oh he's 26 state many leading. officials including most of the country's living former presidents have been implicated in corruption leading to a spate of arrest. me the president is no easy job to stress pressure of responsibility for the entire country but being president of her ruth also adds to the time to the list the most likely jinxed this is miss said

this the former vice president she declared herself head of the country on monday is playing in the i am temporarily assuming the presidency of the republic at least in response to if that the president's car has failed but just hours after being sworn in she resigns i have decided to resign from the position of constitutional vice president of the republic the reasons are explaining the attached ladder i hope that my resignation will lead to the convening and general elections in the surest term of the country. that's up to the current president didn't discover dissolved congress which plunged the country into political crisis massive protests concludes today's resignation probably not used this week interesting week this got himself elected he took over from federal public good shinseki resigned over

corruption charges just out of a comfortable bed in the government palace with a view. a brick through a bunk in a cell for 3 years and it was a month yet we want to denounce in the name of our family the injustice that has been committed against all father federal public option scheme has been given 3 years of preventive imprisonment. history desist or young the mother was also arrested on allegations of money laundering he is watching his property and freedom being taken away before there was a long garcia there won't come as a surprise that he too was arrested on the same money laundering charges. no the reason he escaped prison time is because he committed suicide. i do 100 also enjoy this time in the us has been. in jail for 21. we were joking. prisoners. perhaps

missed that this was made a wise decision resigning so quickly it's a safe. was the crisis improved developes many analysts are drawing parallels to the situation in venezuela it also had its national assembly dissolved by ruling forces the opposition rejected that move and appointed their own interim president as the country split some states sided with the u.s. backed opposition political analyst we spoke to says that despite the similarities between the situations in peru and venezuela they're treated very differently by washington. if we compare bin is clearly and we compare peru indeed i mean in this occasion the united states had to find it through ringback. and see what will happen when it's going to be. a roll of the united states if they would be like doing exactly the same as they have done well or you know you would have expected or as we say they would support if they would be more like you know

inclined to do the same things and to be more coherent in their in their political stances the united the has player like a kind of a double a rule that's not very clear right you apply some criteria. because some countries have the different set of criteria to this situation or crisis in another country that shows probably a double war are. jailed former brazilian president lula da silva is refused to be transferred to a semi open prison with better conditions claiming he won't accept bargaining with his rights and freedom. was president of brazil from 2. 1003 to 2010 he then served as the head of presidential staff in the administration of his successor in 2017 it was convicted of money laundering and corruption and sentenced to 12 years in prison and an arctic seclusive our spanish channel spoke to the former president in his prison. ecuador fear no one has to

accept foreign interference in the affairs of a sovereign state i do not support american brazilian colombian or any other interference their attempts to control another country by promoting their own candidates by creating a fake figurehead like one gedo i'm totally against this there are situations that a democratic country has to deal with on its own. you brazil is a very big country it can be fully sovereign it could become one of the main actors on international policy i admire the role that president putin plays in the modern world it shows that the world cannot be held hostage to u.s. policy to trump's craziness the craziness of a u.s. president who believes that he can invade any country kill any precedent somebody

has to stop him and brazil conclude that. iraq has seen more deadly unrest as popular protests against corruption and low living standards continue for a 4th consecutive day security forces opened fire on demonstrators in baghdad on friday bringing the number of those killed in this week's turmoil to 44 today's violence comes despite calls for calm from the prime minister here's a quick recap of the demonstrations over the past few days. clashes erupted on tuesday when the army stepped in to defend the heavily fortified green zone in baghdad where government offices and foreign consulates are located

police deployed tear gas rubber bullets and live fire against protesters internet access has been cut off the most of the country iraqi peace campaigner sami ramadani thinks the country's problems are deeply ingrained and nearly insurmountable. sadly i don't think the country is going to overcome these enormous problems caused by the invasion and occupation of iraq the u.s. led invasion occupation of 2003. because the problems have become so deep the destruction was so massive and the political elites that the u.s. installed in iraq where almost all very corrupt and this has added to the problem of trying to recover from that destructive occupation that is the problem with the with iraq that the problems are so deep and there are so many

corrupt senior politicians it's very difficult to implement a lot of the demands of the people things like eliminating corruption getting rid of massive unemployment among young people housing problems poverty problems. that's your auto update for that thanks for watching next to whether the biggest threat to donald trump's presidency comes from deep within u.s. intelligence. in a world of big partisan lock and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle

for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. make or break the entire proposition financialization newt because without a base science of value risk and devalued time you have no basis to value this financial eyes post industrial economy whatsoever it's all basically a guessing game. in $24.00 to you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still or here. is put me in the new bill is that i new school in the middle of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. those who to vote had invested over 5000000000 dollars to assist

ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. hello and welcome to cross talk where all things considered i'm peter lavelle senator chuck schumer famously said shortly after trump was elected you take on the intelligence community they have 6 ways from sunday at getting back at you in light of the failed russia gate hoax and this nonsense with ukraine this characterization

appears to be spot on should we all fear the deep state. cross talking the deep state i'm joined by my guest daniel mcadams include he's the executive director of the ron paul institute for peace and prosperity in washington we crossed to richard goodstein he is a democratic strategist and a former campaign adviser to bill and hillary clinton and in new york we cross to john burnett he is managing director and founder of one empire group a business and political consultancy company all right jim crosstalk rules in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate daniel make out to me go to you include you inspired this program with an interview you did a few days ago and with this is what caught my eye this one sentence here it was a great interview but this sentence stuck out the u.s. has ceased being a republic and has become a national security.
