i don't think they should be hated they don't believe in demonizing the successful . minority when. we can for good morning and welcome to the program this saturday live will be sent to moscow it's kevin are with you for this. starting with this then ecuador in the grip of a wave of violent protests offer a state of emergency was declared thursday demonstrations began over the government's decision to end fuel subsidies with petrol prices expected to more than double the number it. this is some of the end result she said transport workers have been leaving a national strike on the country's president's using emergency powers to put troops on the streets in

a bid to try to maintain order but nonetheless scenes of chaos as police clashed with protesters and at least $350.00 arrests its fuel subsidies cost the government more than a $1000000000.00 a year and they say there's going to be no chance they'll be reinstated it's all part of the president's plan to cut public spending to meet the terms of an i.m.f. loan agreed a march down of takes a deeper look at the impact it's had. the i.m.f. is the generous and open handed and giving and seeing whenever a country's economy is in grave need my immediate priority for the i.m.f. . is to help members minimize the risk of grace is we focus on job creation we focus on productivity we focus on stability stability actually will be my my my key focus is to build strong economies so people fly 30 brought except far too often when they stayed places it's trust in

the i.m.f. it ends up in scenes like these. people like like ours sure scrooges i don't know the facts she doesn't suit the charts yourself. the last pictures we showed you are from ecuador a country that proves that the i.m.f. does business the same way on both sides of the atlantic at the expense of the people the ecuadorian administration reached a 4 point $2000000000.00 deal with the fund in exchange for a form's abiding by its trusted playbook the i.m.f. marketed it in a non surprise fashion achieve in their own last fiscal position is at the core of

the authorities programme which will be supported by a 3 year extended arrangement from the i.m.f. well i've already kind of spoiled to you how this has turned out so far in turmoil in the streets and the state of emergency the authorities have voluntarily renounced their right to choose they must follow through with the tax true. form stripped the citizens of some labor protections and cause fuel prices to double measures wildly unpopular among the people well but these are the commandments of the sect of a stereotype and like with any cult it's easy to get in not to get out in 2002 the president of malawi a nation in africa said that the i.m.f. had forced them to sell the country's strategic grain reserves they did and as a result millions of people were exposed to famine when the drought hit something the i.m.f.

outright refused to accept any responsibility for the causes of food shortages in malawi are complex including lapses in the government's early warning systems distortions in domestic markets and mismanagement of food reserves in more recent cases the i am of bailout programs for italy greece ireland and portugal ignited europe wide and to your stereo to movement just when people realised that in reality the money comes not from the i.m.f. but from their wallets in ecuador just over 20 percent of the population support the reforms that came until with the funds billions because the i.m.f. is a robin hood who got it all wrong and now gives to the rich and takes from the poor then the i.m.f. is given a credit to our country is under certain conditions but on the. day they control the economy they're going to go on which is about the goal of the i.m.f. what they are really following is tried to open the economy of whether just to make

the. ecuadorian people in the future going to get access to a different kind of private services that they dig out but the thing is was the cause of this going off to ration of the economy anything they're doing we know they're going to see inflation we know they're going to increase unemployment rate at the moment but in theory yes in theory they're whether of the future. to be an economy similar like the u.s. economy or mexican economy let's say by the usually with that with a high. because of the richness going to be. tracking the latest next on donald trump in the u.s. an impeachment inquiry into his phone call with the leader of ukraine is no see white house officials subpoenaed over the president's contacts with key democrat spearheading the trumps the probe say trump left them with no other choice as for u.s. military aid which of course plays an important role in this whole scandal on monday the u.s. to parlous state approved the sale of nearly 40000000 dollars worth of antitank

weapons to kiev the $150.00 javelin missiles came in on top of the $200.00 sold of the country last year senior correspondent takes a look at how ukraine has turned into a gold mine then for the u.s. . at 1st sight you wouldn't take ukraine for a land of opportunity unless you're into peddling weapons the javelin sr war hope ukraine build its long term defense capacity to defend its sober instance oratorial integrity in order to meet its national defense requirements now ain't that just the american dream selling weapons to a nation that can barely afford to keep itself warm in the winter and not just any weapons the javelin by far the most expensive and its class more than $200000.00 for the launcher and a rocket was uneasy though it took a concentrated push by arms manufacturers lobbyists and politicians to overturn

a ban on lethal weapon sales to ukraine and this man this man was at the center of it the significance of this is that we lifted the your. arms did provide anti-tank weapons. and now we're prepared to treat as can be deceptive kurt. it was naughty kurt had a little side gig going on that was all hush hush the sod from representing trump in ukraine he also worked for b.g. are a huge and powerful lobbying group which surprise lobbies for a theater the company that manufactures javelin missiles and will make millions by selling them to ukraine kurt unfortunately resigned in september aside from the whole potentially corrupt thing with b g r and great he was also embroiled in the trump ukraine scandal speaking of which

trump has recently put on hold almost $400000000.00 in military aid to ukraine it leaves out. a scheme to use the leverage of the presidency you'd use the leverage of the. vital military assistance to a foreign nation. to provide or tame dirt on a political opponent it's hard to imagine a more serious set of allegations than those contained in the complaint surely they can't all be rotten this is adam adam has a much friendlier face than kurt adams seems genuinely concerned about ukraine alas adam doesn't seem to be any better see among adams sponsors is a fellow named igor pasternak who makes a lot of money on military contracts with ukraine is the pasternak recently hosted a fundraiser for adam after which the congressman began all but the mounding that

the u.s. send money and arms to ukraine which would allow his generous sponsor to real the tire ukrainian military just last year the m 16 project was conceived some time ago as ukrainian own forces. border guards or national guard will be time switch to nato standards on a city you could probably film sin city 3 with characters based in these guys but even if you don't sell guns and don't get kickbacks or donations from mama's manufacturers you can still use ukraine here for example as ukraine's national adze corruption bureau chief sit nick recorded bragging about how he helped hillary clinton during the 2016 election. not trump but i helped hillary belongs to the co-hosts of politicians who comprise the

huge money in the us in the u.s. and in the entire world for runs that is sort of better oh you could definitely film sensitive 3 with these guys but the audio is real confirmed by ukraine's attorney general it was missed the city by the way who published dirt on trump's campaign manager in 2016 in the real last anyway but the fellow tried so what if you don't have guns to sell or elections to win what if for example daddy months to get his young boy a nice cushy job where he didn't have to do much well ukraine's the help booth john biden's son and john kerry's stepson landed executive jobs at a ukrainian energy company now strap yourself in hunter biden earned $50000.00 a month 50000 in a country where the average wage is

a few $100.00 and you know what in the weird and wacky world of u.s. politicians and i think i gave you a taste of just how wacky it is that's normal the underlying problem here was of course hunter biden receiving $50000.00 a month from ukraine energy company do you think that that is evidence of corrupt behavior. now people are set on. mind 3 payments it was always a playground for america ukraine in 2013 victoria nuland boasted about the billions america spent supporting democracy in ukraine or meddling in its politics you pick since ukraine's independence in 1901 the united states has supported ukrainians as they do democratic skills and institutions as they promote civic participation and good governance of which are preconditions for ukraine to achieve its here p. and aspirations have invested over 5000000000 dollars to assist ukraine in these in

articles that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic train well thank you mr nuland and ukraine turned out great but then again look at it like an american senator you don't care that ukrainians are poor cold stressed and hopeless what you care about is that your sponsors can make money and keep donating to you what you care about is ukrainians helping you in elections what you care about is ukraine providing your kids with comfy little jobs that pay millions over the years and if you are an american senator well ukraine couldn't have turned out any better city correspondent steve. now it's the u.k. government has formally acknowledged the killing of maori people when a british explorer arrived in new zealand way back in the 18th century but the

official statement stop short of a full apology and some hoping for. acknowledge the death of 9 of your ancestors and. as the descendants of this. i offered my every cent. for i understand the pain does not diminish with time so the back story here the 1st encounter between captain james cook's a male indigenous peoples back in 1769 at the time it led to the deaths of at least 9 mari's ramifications still happening today britain's nearly expressed regret came just a few days before a government funded commemoration of the landing in fact is just the latest in a series a similar actions they've taken over their colonial past e.g. in 2030 the u.k. agreed compensation for more than 5000 torture victims over 950 s. uprising in kenya and just earlier this year former prime minister treason may describe the 919 massacre as

a shameful scar on britain's history in india when troops fired on unarmed crowds containing some nationalist protesters and killed more than a 1000 people according to some indian estimates but again her words were not seen as a full apology we spoke to mary rights advocate who says the wording of these expressions is absolutely crucial. it's not an apology and it's an expression of regret and so those are very particular wounds that have been used and the british high commissioner was really clear she was not speaking on behalf of the british crown who were the actual ones that seat james cook a lot i think great britain would be the exception to seeing the vanguard of imperial expansion as as being heroes i mean this is the same for many european empires they who are sized their activities and they got to write the history books and my price themselves as this to say and an expression of regret

which is literally a non apology that it's impossible to know what really happened when there are numerous accounts they have slight variations but they all agree that these people were unarmed and were killed for the sake of demonstrating supremacy we know that it happened less than 16 saturday morning moscow time news next to facebook's founder of the world's 5th richest person mark zuckerberg indeed has made quite a surprising statement therefore by agreeing with us presidential hopeful bernie sanders the billionaire should not exist caleb open investigates whether or not the rich are becoming an oppressed minority that. billionaires pretty much rule the united states the president himself is a billionaire but apparently he is the most threatened and bullied man in the country he has turned american diplomacy into a cheap extortion racket let's be honest donald trump is a loser all his failed 'd businesses trump cares about exactly one person and that

one person is named donald trump i'm sorry that you're a terrible president. well perhaps but the bullying of donald trump has very little to do with him being a billionaire billionaires almost live in a parallel universe with elite parties private jets and little islands that they own but apparently some billionaires feel like they are a persecuted minority it's the ordinary people that are persecuting them led by a boogie man named bernie sanders. billionaires billionaire billionaire billionaire billionaire billionaires billionaire i am not a billionaire due to all that class hatred incited by bernie sanders the rich are forced to hide in fancy restaurants and the studio of the fox news channel it's no longer safe for them to roam the streets with commoners let's go back to bernie sanders for a minute when we're having a standard here what the hell has he done it's aspirational i didn't start with

anything just penalize everyone that's done well now steve schwarzman the founder of blackstone says that the treatment of billionaires in the united states is starting to resemble the treatment of jews in nazi germany seriously he actually said this it's the wall it's like when hitler invaded poland in 1939 and he's not the only one it's a rising trend if you go back to 1933 we've different words this is what hitler was saying in germany you don't survive as a society if you encourage and thrive on and view it genesee the wealthy t.v. preacher kenneth copeland has also reported suffering at the hands of the not so wealthy. or a huge fire lines you can't manage that today write this don't fail the world right get in an air get in alone too with a bunch of demons so the gap between the rich and poor in america has reached its peak in half a century so do you think that billionaires are really an oppressed minority we

decided to ask new yorkers what they think that's a joke right oppressed. not at all malcolm we approached minority women in the world anyway i don't think they should be hated they didn't get that way well most people did a really successful got that way because they work that they have enough money so they can protect themselves don't believe in demonizing the successful i mean their majority of them has created a product or service ness or result of. the good work that they've done this is their success i don't demonize him for being successful now this notion that the rich are somehow mistreated by society is certainly not new the cold war novelist and philosopher i know rand wrote an entire book called atlas shrugged it was about how the rich of the world go on strike against the ungrateful rabble who levy taxes against them but average americans just don't buy the argument seems that when the ultra rich claim the world has been unfair to them they don't really know what fair means kaleb company r

t new york this sucks international because it broke us around the world from russia what's ahead will this for one privacy activists are up in arms over the french government's controversial type plans to scam people's faces as part of an idea. in a world of big partners through laws and conspiracies it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever we need. to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the 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 this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round to the one percent. nor middle of the room sick. morning when i was coming out france is set to become the 1st european country to roll out a nationwide id program using facial recognition technology present in the norm across has been pushing the initiative despite a barrage of criticism about privacy concerns shelob you've been in paris picks up

the story this week and. your face is your passport it's a saying that's becoming more and more reality in the modern world we may already be used to the idea of facial recognition to access all smartphones or even certain apps but how about the idea that governments are now moving in the direction of using your face as a means to access your digital information as citizens so that could be services such as taxes and social security without there being any alternative that's exactly what's about to happen in france it seems it's set to become europe's 1st country to use facial recognition. it's caused serious monks critics who say the id program dubbed him his premature and they've also raise concerns about its privacy the processing of personal data which reveals racial or ethnic origin political opinions religious or philosophical believes is prohibited while the development of

this technology creates and president opportunities for socially beneficial uses it's also poses a serious threat to human rights and civil liberties most notably the freedom of expression the freedom of assembly and association the right to privacy and the right to a fair trial i'll assume an acronym for certified online authentication on mobile will be rolled out in november according to the french government will enable any individual to prove his or her identity all the internet in a secure manner but how do people here in paris feel about it you can just force people like. not even giving a choice of the skit to do one thing and then it's. it's true that it could be dangerous i don't know much about it i think security is more important but it doesn't bother me but i don't have and choice i think people can already do that

with social media there's also been concern that this could be this free slope to facial recognition biometrics being used by c.c.t.v. i mean every move that you make could be entered into a database and that's already happening in countries like china the french government though insists this will not be the case here and it says any footage to use facial recognition will be raised within seconds but those assurances may not be enough to persuade people given that state security standards in france have already 'd been breached earlier this year it took a hacker a little over an hour to break into a secure government messaging app so many are perhaps concerned that all technology is pregnant all and that their information could fall into the wrong hands big brother is watching you and soon you may have no choice but to let it show if you

can ski r.t. paris you're in phoenix this weekend historic in current relations between the u.s. and its southern neighbors have been the motivation for several latin american independence movements over the recent decades artie's been speaking to a problem puerto rican activist who served 36 years in u.s. prisons or it was a member and suspected leader of a paramilitary group the fought for independence of the island territory which is part of the u.s. commonwealth the group carried out more than $130.00 bombings across the united states in the seventy's and eighty's including one in new york that killed 4 people vera was sentenced in 1901 or multiple charges despite never being directly linked to specific attacks with this sentence eventually commuted after more than 3 decades behind bars artie's rough spoke to him about what drives his activism. that you should not forget how much force the u.s. is used to oppress the press rican independence movement since 1908 points reconsidered been imprisoned for political reasons the situation hasn't changed and

i can say one thing with confidence i did not kill anybody i have no doubt that there is no blood on my hands so back in 1917 you merican skaven as their citizenship but they didn't give us any rights they did it for one simple reason they needed soldiers to fight in the 1st world war later the added new rule that which really had to use american ships to trade anyway so when we bought sweet potatoes in costa rica they would not go directly to us but to florida they were taken from that ice reek of the system which the us created a proprietary code and which they still maintain as clips our wings and deprived us of opportunities. and that's the way things look at the so far this saturday from moscow so much more our side up to dot com while i was kevin owen from the rest of the team of a great weekend. rather
