hear him say the name viktor orban because indeed i guess it is even fair to put it that way they do act like great buddies they meet regularly it is even fair to put it that way they do act like great buddies they meet regularly at least once a year and this is something that once again we fairly at least once a year and this is something that once again we felt during the press conference when the 2 beaters were standing shoulder to felt during the press conference when the 2 beaters were standing shoulder to shoulder and we heard viktor orban say that one of their shoulder 'd and we heard viktor orban say that one of the goals for him in his interactions with russia is to make a step toward every goal is for him in his interactions with russia is to make a step toward every year every time they meet but at the same time we do have to

remember that hungry year every time they meet but at the same time we do have to remember that hungry is of course a member of the european union and nato but the way it's been is of course a member of the european union and nato but the way it's behaved in terms of how it deals with russia has really been a cost. or concerning haven in terms of how it deals with russia has really been a cause for concern in the west some have openly been annoyed by this well to this minute in the west some have openly been annoyed by this well to this mr or ben was saying that hungry once to become this driving force to or ben was saying that hungry one is to become this driving force for a significant improvement in relationships between wars for a significant improvement in relationships between russia and the alliance so let's

take a listen to what exactly behind garion prime minister said russia and the alliance so let's take a listen to what exactly behind carrying prime minister set. of the shroud of course hungry is a member of nato and the e.u. . of the shroud of course hungry is a member of nato and the e.u. and it will remain that but it doesn't exclude cooperation with russia including a political and it will remain that but it doesn't exclude cooperation with russia including a political levels hungary is interested in improving relations between nato and russia levels hungary is interested in improving relations between nato and russia we have this political and historic experience in relations between western and eastern europe where we have this political and historic experience and the relations between western and eastern europe is strained hungry loses it for the relations a good hungry is also old when it was strained hungry loses it for the relations a good hungry is also a winner. when it comes to these.

when it comes to these so to say bold moves against western allies or so to say bold moves against western allies or somehow not in line with the position of. somehow not in line with the position of the western alliance. both in nato and the u. we do have to mention. both in nato and the we do have to mention recent decision by the government to veto a joint decision by the government to veto a joint statement by the. nato on ukraine the reason by the. nato on ukraine the reason why the hungarian government decided to go and get

against the flow and that. government decided to go and get against the flow in that case was how i was saying more than 100 ths was how i was saying more than 150000 ethnic ukrainians right that. gary and 50000 ethnic ukrainians right there but. on the territory of ukraine that's what i meant in this case surely on the territory of ukraine that's what i meant in this case surely the 2 countries discussed the crisis the 2 leaders discussed the crisis. countries discussed the crisis the 2 leaders discussed the crisis in east ukraine and they are welcoming what's happening right now we understand and they are welcoming what's happening right now we understand that the

government at least on the part of the new president will do that government at least on the part of the new president will dimmers then they are trying to find this space between the forces of president they are trying to find this space between the forces that are either loyal to ukraine or the actual ukrainian. army and. that are either loyal to ukraine or of the actual ukrainian army and also. the anti-government forces from the also. the anti-government forces. so this is a process that is being welcomed and we heard from the. so this is a process that is being welcomed and we heard from the 2 leaders that they are looking forward to the so-called. 2 leaders that they are looking forward to the so-called normandy format. featuring the leaders of russia ukraine germany arm

and the format. featuring the leaders of russia ukraine germany and france to take place of course something else that was brought up during the press and france to take place of course something else that was brought up during the press conference were. between moscow and beautiful. friends were the ties between moscow and beautiful trade is growing russia is taking part in a major energy project is growing russia is taking part in major energy projects here and hungry in fact it's been agreed that moscow will build 2 nuclear projects here and hungry in fact it's been agreed that moscow will build 2 nuclear reactors at the nuclear power plant in hungary but hungary is also the reactors at the nuclear power plant in hungary but hungary is also interested in diversifying

the ways and interested in diversifying the ways that the natural resources from russia both oil and gas come into the country so that the natural resources from russia both oil and gas come into the country so a lot of things were said about that today and we do have to bear in mind. that a lot of things were said about that today and we do have to bear in mind that it's also this day also bears special significance in the sense that it's also this day also bears special significance in the sense that today denmark gave the green light for the final stage a day denmark gave the green light for the final stage of the construction of the north stream to pipeline project we know that of the construction of the north stream to pipeline project we know that denmark in that sense is

a bit too far from hungry but potentially that denmark in that sense is a bit too far from hungry but potentially the extension of the southern poverty line which was being built by extension of the southern poverty line which was being built by gasper an extension of that one that energy route could be. an extension of that one that energy route could be build on the hungarian territory and that we could see that the hungarian government hold on the hungarian territory and we could see that the hungarian government is looking forward to that too and they would completely welcome that move as well is looking forward to that too and they would completely welcome that move as well yeah interesting stuff. going to live from budapest with summary yeah interesting stuff. the live from budapest with a summary of today's discussions between the leaders of hungary brush. of today's

are looking for around to the refurbishments. of justice that people are looking for won't be delivered far far as did not cause the fire. won't be delivered fast. as i did not cause the fire a groan full to our forefathers and not responsible for fixing a from a well built from all material our forefathers and not responsible for fixing a from a well built from all material on the outside of the tower prosecution should be at the people that on the outside of the tower prosecution should be at the people that cause the building to be in such an unsafe condition in the 1st place from the maids and cause the building to be in such an unsafe condition in the 1st place from the maintenance of all the fire safety systems that already existed in the building so the refurbishment that there is of all the fire safety systems that already existed in the building so the refurbishment that dreadful towers are

dangerous. human rights watch out of the towers are dangerous. human rights watch has released the scathing report on u.s. sanctions on iran it says that the hindering access to healthcare has released a scathing report on u.s. sanctions on iran it says that the hindering access to health care for the people of iran that despite washington's assyrians assurances ordinary people wouldn't be targeted for the people of iran that despite washington's assyrians assurances ordinary people wouldn't be targeted trump administration officials claim they stand with the iranian people. trump administration officials claim they stand with the iranian people but the overbroad and body some u.s. sanctions regime is harming iranians try to health but the overbroad and dirty some u.s. sanctions regime is harming iranians try to health including access to lifesaving medicines leaving iranians who have rare or complicated disease including access to lifesaving medicines leaving iranians who have rare or complicated diseases unable

to get the medicine and treatment they require. the so-called masses unable to get the medicine and treatment they require. the so-called maximum pressure campaign is intended to put banks and foreign companies off doing business with them and pressure campaign is intended to put banks and foreign companies off doing business with the sanctions would force them to quit the nuclear deal with the country last year round. thanks for stuff to the nuclear deal with the country last year around noncompliance and financing of terrorist organizations was cited as the key reasons behind that decision plants and financing of terrorist organizations was cited as the key reasons behind that decision since then sanctions have been expanded several times seems the us leads since then sanctions have been expanded several times seems the us leaves it no use to what extent people are being effected. we are not doing that no use to what extent people are being affected. we are not doing this to hurt the people of iran we are doing this so that iran stops their

bad activities to hurt the people of iran we are doing this so that iran stops their bad activities we will continue to ramp up more more and more things are much worse for the iranians we will continue to ramp up more more and more things are much worse for the iranian people and we're convinced that will lead to lead the iranian people to rise up and people were convinced that woman leader would lead the iranian people to rise up and change the behavior of the regime. however the sanctions include exemptions for change the behavior of the regime. however the sanctions include exemptions for food and medicine in the latest move last friday washington declared iran a country who to medicine in the latest move last friday washington declared iran a country of primary money laundering concern therefore foreign governments will have to submit detailed report of primary money laundering concern therefore foreign governments will have to submit detailed reports about humanitarian exports

to iran which is aimed at preventing money from ending up in the wrong as about humanitarian exports to iran which is aimed at preventing money from ending up in the wrong hands critics though say that the u.s. is trying to stop the e.u.'s mechanism called instax critics though say that the u.s. is trying to stop the e use mechanism called instax from bypassing the sanctions human rights watch communications an advocacy director from bypassing the sanctions human rights watch communications an advocacy director says in practice exempt sectors have been scared off. that says in practice exempt sectors have been scared off. the mix of u.s. sanctions and aggressive u.s. rhetoric has made it incredibly difficult to get basic human sanctions and aggressive u.s. rhetoric has made it incredibly difficult to get banks and companies to carry out transactions of exempted even terry gross and companies to carry out transactions of exempted even trade lives with iran and in fact the sanctions and there are if

we had an environment of what we call it with iran and in fact the sanctions and there are if we had an environment of what we call compliance which means that companies invented that used to carry out even legitimately through compliance which means that companies invented used to carry out even legitimate military and transfers to iran just because they're worried about the risk of sanctions on that area and transfers to iran just because they're worried about the risk of sanctions on them so the way it currently functions. the u.s. sanctions regime so the way it currently functions. the u.s. sanctions regime has a very serious consequences for many of the iranians right to health especially ransom has a very serious consequences for many of the iranians right to health especially readings with rare diseases this includes people who came in at blip see the rare diseases this includes people who came in at blip see and also individuals with

injuries resulting from the exposure to chemical weapons during iraq and also individuals when i injuries resulting from the exposure to chemical weapons during the iran iraq war all of those cannot get the treatment they need and as a direct consequence iraq war all of those cannot get the treatment they need and as a direct consequence of the way the sections regime functions the administration continues to claim that the sanctions are of the way the sections regime functions the administration continues to claim that the sanctions are not directed at the people of iran however on several occasions. well you were like the record out of iran however on several occasions you as the root of the issue as you know are aware of our objection as a lot of issues and you are aware of that or however you have an action as the horror was well intentioned. the horror was well intentioned.

almost 70 percent of learning in the united states are more likely to vote almost 70 percent of millennial in the united states are more likely to vote for a communist candidate that's according to a recent poll now the survey was conducted by the victory communist candidate that's according to a recent poll now the survey was conducted by the victims of communism memorial foundation it also shows the decline in supporters of communism memorial foundation it also shows the decline in support for capitalism among millennial and generations the more people viewed on it for capitalism among millennial and generations the more people view donald trump as the biggest threat to world peace than any other world leader or those trump as the biggest threat to world peace than any other world leader or those behind the poll believe the result is a sign of historical amnesia. behind the poll believe the result is a sign of historical amnesia. the historical amnesia about the dangers of communism

and socialism is on full display the historical amnesia about the dangers of communism and socialism is on full display in this year's report we need to redouble our efforts to educate americans say in this year's report we need to redouble our efforts to educate america's youth about the history of communist regimes and the dangers of socialism today youth about the history of communist regimes and the dangers of socialism today. ok let's go live now to joseph sure he's for. he will. if his show his family will socialist websites good evening to you a chance to look at the survey. websites good evening to you a chance to look at the survey results what did you find interesting about them but surprising. results what did you find interesting about them but surprising

well not necessarily surprising but certainly interesting the growing interest in socialism well not necessarily surprising but certainly interesting the growing interest in socialism support for socialism so many percent of young people in particular saying there are there are likely support for socialism so many percent of young people in particular saying there are there are likely somewhat likely or extremely likely to go pers socialist candidate. somewhat likely or extremely likely to go pro socialist candidate enormous opposition to social inequalities support for far reaching measures to norma's opposition to social inequalities support for far reaching measures to transform the economy the right to a job to education it does show a transformer the economy the right to a job to education it does show a broad leftward movement among particularly young people broad leftward movement among particularly young people in the united states which confirms previous trends

and the reality of american political in the united states which confirms previous trends and the reality of american political life today those who conducted this poll they claim that the rise in polite today those who conducted this poll they claim that the rise in popularity of communism socialism among young people essentially is down to the fact that a collaborative communism socialism among young people essentially is down to the fact that getting a poor education in history that basically saying that they're ignorant how would you respond getting a poor education in history to basically saying that regnant how would you respond . well i think more the point is a young people are getting a very good education in the nature of capital well i think more the point is that young people are getting a very good education in the nature of capitalism the conditions that young people face enormous social inequality and the conditions that young people face enormous social inequality indebtedness young people graduating from college with tens of

thousands of dollars in debt in this young people graduating from college with tens of thousands of dollars in debt unable to get a decent job or the jobs that are available or in the so-called good guide unable to get a decent job or the jobs that are available or in the so-called gig economy where you don't have benefits you don't have you don't have job security economy where you don't have benefits you don't have you don't have job security poor wages temporary employment this is the reality of young people unable to even for wages temporary employment this is the reality of young people unable to even have a family to move out of their parents' homes this is the reality i have a family to move out of their parents' homes and this is the reality of capitalism of exploitation and young people are getting a very clear lesson buddy of capitalism of exploitation and young people are getting a very clear lesson in that and that really i think is what is behind the girl

in that and that really i think is what is behind the growing interest in support for her socialism now of course there are things interest in support for her socialism now of course there are issues of of an understanding of history but the real question is for young people and for issues of of an understanding of history but the real question is for young people and for workers more broadly to understand what socialism really is and how it can be for workers more broadly to understand what socialism really is and how it can. he achieved in there you know the questions of what happened in the 20th century. and there you know the questions of what happened in the 20th century the betrayals and the really horrific crimes of those who the betrayals and the really horrific crimes of those who betrayed socialism the stallman is

a stalinist who betrayed the russian ruble who betrayed socialism the stallman is a stalinist who betrayed the russian revolution you know that history really has to be brought forward and the real and real innovation you know that history really has to be brought forward and the real and real understanding of what socialism really is its actual history is really i'm standing on what socialism really is its actual history it's really imperative for young people to orient themselves politically and come to an understanding of what it is for young people to orient themselves politically and come to an understanding of what socialism really is. i'm fascinated i mean i'll be honest i was ashamed the reason that socialism really is. i'm fascinated i mean i'll be honest i was ashamed of the reason that young people tend to you know prefer socialism communism as opposed to capitalism because you know that young people tend to you know prefer socialism communism as opposed to capitalism because you know the fairly poor they haven't got much to give away

so hey let's share everything there is older people tend to want to keep what they really poor they haven't got much to give away so hey let's share everything there is older people tend to want to keep what they've accumulated over a lifetime but i mean when you're expert opinion what why do young people prefer they start accumulated over a lifetime but i mean when your expert opinion why do young people prefer they stop politics well i think that it's it's bound up with the conditions of this whole politics. well i think that it's it's bound up with the conditions of this whole generation i mean the united states has been undergoing a enormous generation i mean the united states has been undergoing a enormous increase in social inequality over decades the ruling class in this country both democrats and ricin crease and social inequality over decades the ruling class in this country both democrats and republicans have been carrying out a an offensive in all the social rights of the working class in the public and that's been carrying out a an offensive in all the social rights of the working class and that's expressed

most clearly in the conditions of young young words expressed most clearly in the conditions of young young workers of course this is not i think fundamentally a generational question there's a broader movers of course this is not i think fundamentally a generational question there's a broader movement in the working class the growth of the class struggle not only in the united states but all over into the working class the growth of the class struggle not only in the united states but all over the world we've seen the strike by general motors workers in the united states or the world we've seen the strike by general motors workers in the united states over the past month the strike by chicago teachers mass demonstrations over the past month the strike by chicago teachers mass demonstrations throughout the world and that is really a class question it's a question of social inequality of the world and that is really a class question it's a question of social inequality i think it's pious particular prerogative reasons

the younger generation is pretty i think it's pious particularly for id of reasons the younger generation is perhaps less encumbered by the traditions of the past it's more ready to accept apps less encumbered by the traditions of the past it's more ready to accept far reaching changes at the need for far reaching changes in the in the economy far reaching changes. is the need for far reaching changes in the in the economy and there is a radicalization among among young people certainly but this is really i think fundamental and there is a radicalization among among young people certainly but this is really i think fundamentally a class question working class as a whole whether young or old a class question working class as a whole whether young or old of all races and nationalities is seeing a really enormous attack of all races and nationalities is seeing a really enormous attack on its rights on its living conditions and that's

producing. on its on its rights on its living conditions and that's producing social opposition and growing political radicalization and you see it in social opposition in growing political radicalization and you see it in in these figures again the question really is one of understanding what socialism is our movement in these figures again the question really is one of understanding what socialism is our movement the international traces its heritage to the russian revolution but the international traces its heritage to the russian revolution but the fight against the crimes of stalin ism the betrayals of the. against the crimes of stalin ism the betrayals of the of socialism marxism in the 20th century and of socialism marxism in the 20th century and i think it's really critical for young

people to develop an understanding and educate them since it's really critical for young people to develop an understanding and educate themselves about the real history and traditions of the socialist movement. about the real history and traditions of the socialist movement. interesting stuff appreciate you coming on the show my guest from the will socialist of interesting stuff appreciate you coming on the show my guest from the will socialist website. thank you very much always appreciate you guys joining me tonight thank you very much always appreciate you guys joining me throughout the evening stick around more news coming up to a very short break the evening stick around more news coming up to a very short break. the be. blamed.

appointment of might still apparently very close to now of course he's been nominated as a bastard and to russia he does have to now of course he's been nominated as a bastard to russia 3 he does have a reputation already for being a vocal kremlin critic back at his confirmation hearing. already for being a vocal kremlin critic back at his confirmation hearing 2 years ago he was scathing about russia's role in the crimean crisis about those allegations of russia 2 years ago he was scathing about russia's role in the crimean crisis about those allegations of russian interference at the time stating that i robust response was required with everything in interference at the time stating that i robust response was required with everything at the us as the spose all of that was very much confer today that hard line stop at the us is the spose all of that was very much confer today that hard line starts as once again he stated he will be relentless in

confronting russia. as once again he stated he will be relentless in front of russia on what he described as its hybrid campaign against the united states on what he described as its hybrid campaign against the united states. this is an ongoing campaign by the russian government we look if you would it. this is an ongoing campaign by the russian government we look view it in terms of election milestones they view what is an ongoing hybrid campaign again in terms of election milestone as they view what is an ongoing hybrid campaign against the united states in the view as. an implacable adversary the united states in the view as. an implacable adversary of theirs and they are unfortunately become an adversary of course there was some hope for years and they are unfortunately become an adversary of course there was some hope for constructive dialogue he did of the importance of

talking to russia namely on arms control talked of dialogue he did of the importance of talking to russia namely on arms control renegotiating the start missile treaty which of course expires in 2021 as well as bringing the renegotiating the start missile treaty which of course expires in 2021 as well as bringing russia to the table on key international matters the korean peninsula denuclearization russia to the table on key international matters the korean peninsula denuclearization and of course resolving conflicts in syria and afghanistan that was all thrown out the window and of course resolving conflicts in syria and afghanistan that was all thrown out the window slightly in his next statement when he said that one of his priorities would be opposing the construction slightly in his next statement when he said that one of his priorities would be opposing the construction of the north stream to gas pipeline quite symbolic given its just today but then all of the north stream to gas pipeline quite symbolic given it's just today that denmark gave the green light to russia to go ahead with construction of the gas pipeline he described that and gave the green
