protesters clashed with police on the streets of the ecuadorian capital as the government ditches fuel subsidies to meet the. u.s. state department approved the sale of millions of dollars worth of antitank missiles to ukraine the country proving to be a rich source of money scandal and political intrigue for the united states. and american presidential hopeful bernie sanders declares war on the super rich gets massive public support. surprisingly from facebook's founder mark zuckerberg but we ask people in new york if one percent will ever be seen as an oppressed minority.

pranced. i don't think they should be hated they don't believe in demonizing the successful. life from moscow this is the international weekend. welcome to the program 1st to south america ecuador in the grip of a wave of protests after a state of emergency was declared on thursday demonstrations began over the government's decision to end fuel subsidies with petrol prices expected to more than double. was students and transport workers have been leading a national strike and the country's president is using emergency powers to deploy troops in a bid to maintain order but there have been scenes of chaos as police clashed with protesters there's also been at least $350.00 arrests the fuel subsidies have been

costing the government more than a $1000000000.00 a year it says there's 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 in march it was done of takes a deeper look at the impact it's having the i.m.f. is the generous and open handed and giving and see whenever a country's economy is in grave need my immediate priority for the i.m.f. . to help members minimize the risk of crises 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 key qualities so people feel i thought he brought except far too often when he 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 are still. 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 forms abiding by its trusted playbook the i.m.f. marketed it in a non surprise fashion achieving 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 reform stripped their 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 we. any cold 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 sterrett in movements 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 the i.m.f. is given a credit to our country is under certain conditions on the. day they control the economy and they're going to go on which is about the goal of the i.m.f. what they are really following this try 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 and it and they are doing that we know they're going to increase inflation we know they don't increase unemployment rate at the moment but in theory yes in theory they're whether of the future going to be an economy similar like the u.s. economy or mexican economy let's say but obviously with that with our high like i say with the cost of this region that's going to be. in the united states the impeach. inquiry into donald trump over his phone call with the leader of ukraine has seen white house officials subpoenaed over the president's contacts with key have the democrats spearheading the probe say trump has left them no other choice as for u.s. military aid which plays an important role in the whole scandal on monday but u.s. state department proved the sale of nearly $40000000000.00 worth of anti-tank weapons to kiev the $150.00 javelin missiles come on top of the $200.00 sold to the country last year our senior correspondent gets to it takes

a look at how ukraine has turned into a gold mine for the united states. at 1st sight you wouldn't take ukraine for a land of opportunity unless you're into peddling weapons the javelin system will help 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 old bombing your arms

did provide anti-tank weapons. and now we're prepared to treat ukraine like any other normal country which it is just look at his face doesn't it radiates honesty and empathy but appearances can be deceptive curt was naughty curt had a little side gig going on that was all hush hush the side from representing trump and you. crane 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 and 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 that pasternak recently hosted

a fundraiser for adam after which the congressman began all but the mounding that the u.s. sent money and arms to ukraine which would allow his generous sponsor to re arm the tire ukrainian military just last year the m 16 project was conceived some time ago as ukrainian own forces border guards and national guard we time switch to nato standards honus to you could probably film sin city 3 with characters. base than 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 and t. corruption bureau chief sit nick recorded bragging about how he helped hillary clinton during the 2016 election. not trump but i helped. to the co-hosts of politicians who comprise the huge money

in the us both in the u.s. and in the entire world for runs that is sort of better oh you could definitely film sin city 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 who 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 dollars and you know what in the weird and wacky world of us politicians and i think i gave you a taste of just how wacky it is that's normal the underlying about 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 no people 'd are set on boards and they get monetary payments it was always a playground for america ukraine. in 2013 victoria nuland boasted about the billions american 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 european aspirations we've invested over $5000000000.00 to assist ukraine in these in

articles that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic train world thank you mr nuland didn't ukraine turn 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 the meeting 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. u.k. government has formally acknowledged the killing of maori people when a british explorer arrived in new zealand in the 18th century but your facial

statements stopped short of the full apology that someone hoping for. knowledge that day 9 of your ancestors and see you as the descendants of those. i offer my every sympathy. for i understand pain does not diminish with time. the 1st encounter between captain james cook's men and indigenous people in 769 led to the deaths of at least 9 maoris britons nearly expressed regrets came just a few days before a government funded commemoration of that landing and it's just the latest in a series of similar actions they've taken over the colonial past. in 2030 in the u.k. agreed compensation for more than 5000 torture victims of a 950 s. uprising in kenya and earlier this year former prime minister to resign may describe the 919 amritsar massacre as a shameful scar on britain's history with india when troops fired on unarmed crowds containing some nationalist protesters and killing more than

a 1000 people according to some indian estimates but again the words were not seen as a full apology we spoke to a maori rights advocate who says the wording of these expressions is absolutely critical. 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 reclear 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 the but this but 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 their mistreating supremacy we know that it happened. facebook founder of the world's 5th richest person mark zuckerberg has made quite a surprising statement by agreeing with u.s. presidential hopeful bernie sanders that billionaires should not exist and with the much maligned tycoon donald trump at the helm in america it raises questions whether the rich are becoming an oppressed minority is kind of more. 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 so longer say for them to roam the streets with commoners let's go back to bernie sanders for a minute when you're having a standard you hear what the hell has he done it's aspirational i didn't start with anything to 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. well thing or a huge fire lines you can't manage that today right this don't feel the world right get in an air get in alone too with a bunch of demon 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 living in

a world in which 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 their soft 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 up and r.t. new york. for the break it's sole about face control in france you'll have people

in the scandal line and in hong kong to moscow for the protest as. you know world's big partners new laws and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever 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 the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. in. the world is driven by a dream shaped by our own personal. thinks

. we are here to ask. you for you this saturday hong kong's metro system a business is shut down this weekend defied a facemask ban that protesters formed a human chain a march through the streets with their faces covered chanting slogans the emergency restrictions resulted in violent clashes on friday when protesters smashed windows and set fires is the 4th month of violent demonstrations in the territory against

beijing's policies they started in opposition to an extradition bill that would have allowed suspects to be taken into mainland china for trial bill though has since been dropped. picture perfect in france it's set to become the 1st european country to roll out a nationwide i.d. program using facial recognition technology president across has been pushing the initiative despite a barrage of criticism about privacy concerns mashallah due bensky reports next from paris. you'll face is your passport it's saying it's becoming more and more reality in the most. world we may already be used to the idea of facial recognition to access off smart phones 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 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. of the proposed service is extremely practical everybody will have an opportunity to see for themselves there's a facial recognition system for your mobile phone is infinitely more practical than a card the fact is that your personal data can be stolen from your card and to morrow you can change your card but your face won't change in a day so this development will radically influence the security of information it's caused syria monks' critics who say the id program dubbed 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 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 listened an acronym for sue to find 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 getting a choice in the us and the kid to do one thing and then if it's really rough it's true that it could be dangerous i don't know much about it i think security is more important. it does bother me but i don't have any choice i think people can already do that with social media there's also been concern that this could be the solution for the 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 little over an hour to break into a secure government messaging app so many are perhaps concerned that all technology is pregnant will and 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. aarti paris ok that's the way i look so far this saturday if you're out about this

weekend grab a r.t. out video news on the go i'll be back here we're going to update from the moscow news t.v. in just a shade under 35 minutes from now see about. love love. this good. result you know more. than a. in this contest among them to laugh and ask for the last 70 and seeing and i'm interested today for that pro who should commission. a bridge to shift to discipline them.

coming on. at least you. know you care so said i'm not going to much to. just attack yeah and. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy on sunday shouldn't let it be an arms race is on spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk.

problems in syria how it's hard to. become exacerbated because probably because the united states and the russian federation both of them decided to deal with it at an arm's length. allies to take care of things there are a number of opportunities therefore if they were seized and there were really serious attempts by moscow in washington to show problems and i was witness to a number of them and it could have been possible and would have shorten the war and would have saved a lot of lives 1st no don't. know why paradise with some all year round turned into a round the experimentation field but i agree cultural. chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major here tens there's no question otherwise why would that the chemical company workers themselves be geared up and

suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in day you have many of these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to boys in hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental race that's going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. 6 yet didn't know just the comedy show were americans in america covering american news or called foreign agents. no i did not mean to dress like a phantom of the opera all right but they do keep me in

a cage under the stage here though. all right donald trump sure do you impeached. but not for the idiot reasons our super idiot democrats want to impeach him ok and i'm going to give you the real reasons he should be impeached a 2nd but right now the democrats want to prosecute him for probably the only time and he's entire infant tile existence he was trying to root out real corruption why is he doing it to benefit himself of course he was dead so i think asking whether a dog pissed on a fire hydrant to claim his territory or did he do it to benefit society as a whole. so to give you a quick rundown joe biden and obama and our deep state helped create a coup in the ukraine in 2014 in no small part by funding arming you your nazis believe it or not with.
