2:04 pm

a $1000000000.00 every year 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 i.m.f. loan agreed in march takes a deeper look at the impact it is having. the i.m.f. is the generous dessie 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 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 your own key quality means so people fly 30 broad except far too often when they stayed places it's trust in the i.m.f. it ends up in scenes like these.
2:07 pm
people like like ours sure scrooges i don't know the facts she doesn't seem to touch 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 forms abiding by its trusted playbook the i.m.f. marketed in a non surprise fashion achieving their own last fiscal position is at the core of the authorities programme which will be supported by
2:08 pm
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 through. 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
2:09 pm
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 realize 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 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 right to open the economy of whether just to make the. ecuadorian people in the future going to get access to
2:10 pm
a different kind of private services that they dig out but the thing is was the cause of this going off the ration of the economy anything they're doing 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. bionic limb we seem a lot of us are going to be a mexican economy let's say by the way usually with. the cost to reach and that's going to be. billionaires should not exist and of all the people nodding in agreement with the statement is mega rich facebook phone mark zuckerberg to say he agrees with the u.s. presidential hopeful bernie sunders that wealth inequality is out of control but despite that surprising admission from the world's richest person in the middle of the super rich our own board unwilling to give up their luxuries some are even sure testing they're part of an oppressed minority more not know it from kill up and. billionaires pretty much rule the united states the president himself is
2:11 pm
a billionaire but apparently he's 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 count all his failed businesses 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 act millionaires billionaires i am not a billionaire due to all that class hatred incited by bernie sanders the rich are
2:12 pm
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 we're having a standard here what the hell has he done it's aspirational i didn't start with anything. 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 the 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 differ from woods 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 abused fire lines you can't manage that today right this don't feel old
2:13 pm
world right get in an air get in alone to 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. i'm not going to approach minority women in a world any way 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 if 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 theirs is their success so i don't demonize them 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
2:14 pm
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 often are to see new york. moving on iraq has been left reeling by 5 days of nationwide county government protests in which at least 93 people have been killed according to rights monitors the spiraling unrest began on choose the. police use live runs rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the demonstrators internet access has not been cuts in most parts of the country curfews were also temporarily imposed iraq's prime minister adel until monday said while he is listening to protesters demands ensuring stability is part of. the security measures that are being taken a difficult choices but he's likely to medicine is indispensable because your
2:15 pm
security cannot be risked. while the prime minister also insisted there is no magic solution to the crisis which has been brought on by endemic corruption a lack of public services joblessness according to the world bank just 43 percent of working age iraqis are either in employment or seeking work and that's this by the country having the 4th largest oil reserves in the world. the u.s. invasion in 2003 and the years of war that followed have devastated iraq's infrastructure and how dire consequences for its people currently almost 2000000 are internally displaced a further 7000000 are said to be in need of humanitarian assistance the authorities in baghdad estimate that it would cost $90000000000.00 to restore the country's infrastructure iraqi kurdish journalist he was meant to the iraqi public have been making the same demands for years. unfortunately the u.s. policy in iraq has been one of. failure after failure or really not knowing iraq
2:16 pm
well the demands are most iraqis have been asking for for over the past 60 years says 2 thirds of the 3. it doesn't seem to be any real practical response from the government they are still resorting to the old fashioned ways of either using violence with these protests or tried to talk to some of the leaders and the one thing very important about these protests is that they really do not have leaders chronic corruption the chronic problems that have been in the country says through thousands of the 3 i have not been solved the internet is not going to work here posing your curfew will not work live bullets world war. the impeachment inquiry into donald trump over his phone call with the leader of ukraine has seen white house officials subpoenaed over the u.s. president's contacts with kiev the democrats spearheading the probe say mr trump

2:18 pm
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 he lifted the old your arms did provide anti-tank weapons. and now we're prepared to treat you crazy like any other normal country which is this just look at his face doesn't it radiate honesty and empathy but appearances can be deceptive kurt was naughty kurt had a little side gig going on that was all hush hush the side from representing trump in ukraine he also worked for b.g. are a huge and powerful lobbying group which surprise lobbies for
2:19 pm
a theatre 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 greatly and 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 please out. a scheme to use the leverage of the presidency you use the leverage of the. vital military assistance to a foreign nation. to provide or obtain 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
2:20 pm
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 on forces border guards or national guard will be time switched 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
2:21 pm
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 hillary i helped hillary belongs to the cohorts of politicians who. comprise the who germany in the us both in the us and in the entire world for us 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 a 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 wants to get his young boy
2:22 pm
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 the 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 us politicians and i think it gave you a taste of just how wacky it is that's normal the underlying problem here was of course hunger by receiving $50000.00 a month from ukraine energy company do you think that that is evidence of corrupt behavior no 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
2:23 pm
you pick since ukraine's independence in 1901 the united states has supported ukrainians as they do democratic skills and institutions as they promote sitting participation in good governance which are preconditions for ukraine to achieve its here p n aspirations we've invested over $5000000000.00 to assist you train in knees in articles. that woman sure were secure and prosperous and democratic she trained well 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 doing 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
2:24 pm
that pay millions over the years and if you are an american senator well ukraine couldn't have turned out any better. the u.s. secretary of state has healed his country's relationship with greece seeing this saturday about tell us have never been stronger like pompei was currently on a 2 day trip to oftens where he's been holding talks with the prime minister and other top officials he didn't receive the warmest of welcomes from the general public. i. gathered in front of the greek parliament calling for washington's top diplomat to go home and protesters clashed with police who in turn fired tear gas others for an american flag in front of the u.s. embassy and threw red paint on the statue of president tariq truman but despite the reaction might compare was unfair and made clear the purpose of his visit. it's
2:25 pm
a bit selfish america needs to keep. 3 successful and to help secure the eastern mediterranean so let's continue our work to stop russian influence both within greece and within your neighbors borders let's continue to exert pressure on the islamic republic of iran the world's largest state sponsor of terror to all that regime becomes a normal nation. let's take seriously what it cost china systemic rival. uphold the rule of law and build partnerships with free nations so that we can extract energy resources in a peaceful and coordinated way mike pompeo was also asked by his greek counterparts to intervene in a dispute over off shore drilling rights with turkey well the usa could have state called the actions illegal and on acceptable former british diplomat william mullen said told me the full extent of the pressure we will see this is public relations
2:26 pm
to make the greeks feel good and secure turkey strategically more important than greece at the end of the day the u.s. will always consider turkey more important than greece it's been proven by historical documents and proven by the way that kids into allowed turkey to invade cyprus however on the surface with good public relations and good arms sales obviously the members of the greek turkish market has been the biggest one for us in the past the u.s. does not want greece trying to copy turkey and order superior russian systems as well and so turkey is playing a very clever diplomatic game by balancing the forces at the moment turkey will never want to be completely under russia but he's playing a clever game. more great programs get their 'd start in moments here at r.t. international see you again in just over 30 minutes they took.
